CONCURRENT COMPUTER CORPORATION
COMMON STOCK
This Prospectus relates to the offering by Concurrent
Computer Corporation ("Concurrent") of up to 1,600,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of
Concurrent, including shares that may be sold by Concurrent at
the direction of Berenson Minella & Company ("Berenson Minella"),
shares that may be sold by Concurrent at the direction of John T.
Stihl, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Concurrent and
shares that may be sold by Concurrent on behalf of certain former
executive officers of Concurrent, for their respective benefits.
See "Use of Proceeds," "Certain Arrangements with Berenson
Minella" and "Plan of Distribution." The Common Stock includes a
right to purchase fractional shares of preferred stock of Concur-
rent, as provided in Concurrent's Rights Agreement, dated as of
July 31, 1992.
The Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market
and price quotations therefor are reported on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System

CONCURRENT COMPUTER CORPORATION
GENERAL
Concurrent is a supplier of high-performance real-time
computer systems. "Real-time" systems acquire, analyze, store,
display and control 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, productivi-
ty tools and networking. Concurrent's real-time systems offer
networked and distributed computing solutions and may be config-
ured to provide fault tolerance. Concurrent sells its systems
worldwide to end-users as well as to original equipment manufac-
turers, systems integrators, independent software vendors and
value-added resellers who combine Concurrent's products with
other equipment or with additional application software for
resale to end-users. End uses of Concurrent'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 manage-
ment. Concurrent designs, manufactures, sells, and supports
real-time proprietary and standards-based open systems. It also
offers traditional maintenance and support services and profes-
sional services, such as performance and capacity analysis and
systems integration.
THE ACQUISITION
On June 27, 1996, Concurrent acquired (the "Acquisition")
the assets of the real-time computer business of CyberGuard and
683,178 newly issued shares of common stock of CyberGuard (the
"CyberGuard Stock") pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated as of March 26, 1996, as amended and restated on May 23,
1996 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"). CyberGuard or its
predecessors has been engaged in the real-time computing business
since 1974. The CyberGuard Stock represents approximately 9% of
the common stock of CyberGuard outstanding immediately after the
issuance of the CyberGuard Stock to Concurrent and after giving
effect to the vesting and exercise of certain stock options. As
consideration for the Acquisition, Concurrent issued to
CyberGuard (i) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which repre-
sented approximately 23% of the shares of Common Stock outstand-
ing immediately after such issuance, after giving effect to the
vesting and exercise of all outstanding options with respect to
the Common Stock, but without giving effect to the issuance of
any shares of Common Stock offered hereby and (ii) 1,000,000
shares of 9.00% Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Con-
vertible Preferred Stock") with $8,200,000 aggregate liquidation
preference (subject to post-closing adjustments to reflect, among
other things, the amount of net current assets transferred to
Concurrent in the Acquisition) and convertible into a maximum of
3,280,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments. In addition, Concurrent also assumed certain
liabilities of CyberGuard relating to its real-time computing
business.
In connection with the Acquisition, Concurrent and
CyberGuard entered into certain ancillary agreements including a
Share Holding Agreement (the "Share Holding Agreement") that
contains certain standstill, transfer and registration provisions
relating to the Common Stock and the CyberGuard Stock, and
provisions relating to the composition of the Board of Directors
of Concurrent and CyberGuard.
The Board of Directors of Concurrent believes the Acquisi-
tion offers the following significant strategic and financial
benefits to Concurrent and its stockholders, as well as to its
employees and customers:
* Enhanced Competitive Position. As a result of the
Acquisition, Concurrent expects to be in a better position
to meet the challenges of the increasingly competitive
environment in the real-time computing industry more effec-
tively than either Concurrent or CyberGuard standing alone.
In addition, Concurrent now has access to its own as well as
CyberGuard's technology, allowing it to combine the best of
both technologies in the next generation of products.
* Larger and More Diverse Market Coverage. As a result of the
Acquisition, Concurrent's service territory, installed base
and product offerings are larger and more diverse than prior
to the Acquisition. In addition, the combination of the
best of the technologies of the two companies is expected to
allow for a reduction in the time between the introduction
of next generation products within Concurrent's product
line, resulting in Concurrent being less dependent on the
success of any individual next generation product.
* Cost Savings. The Acquisition is expected to generate
significant cost savings during the first fiscal year. Such
savings will be primarily obtained through headcount reduc-
tions, as well as facilities cost reductions. These savings
will be obtained through a variety of actions including,
among others, integration of corporate management and admin-
istrative functions, consolidation of production and re-
search and development facilities and consolidation of
sales/service offices.
* Liquidity. The Acquisition has provided Concurrent with
additional borrowing capacity under its revolving credit
facility based on the higher borrowing base resulting from
the combination of the real-time businesses of the two
companies. Concurrent has entered into an amendment to the
loan agreement with its primary lender which, among other
things, extends the term of such agreement until August 1,
1999 and effectively increases the line of credit under the
revolving credit facility by $4.75 million to $12.75 mil-
lion. In addition, the Acquisition has provided Concurrent
with the opportunity to improve its liquidity by either
selling or pledging, subject to certain restrictions, the
shares of CyberGuard Stock owned by it.
For a discussion of certain risks associated with the
Acquisition, see "Risk Factors". CyberGuard is engaged in the
development and marketing of commercial network security products
designed to protect data on computer networks from access by
unauthorized users. For additional information concerning the
Acquisition and the real-time business of CyberGuard, see the
Joint Proxy Statement incorporated by reference herein.
The following former executive officers of CyberGuard became
executive officers of Concurrent upon consummation of the Acqui-
sition: Robert F. Chism (Vice President, Development), Daniel S.
Dunleavy (Vice President and Chief Financial Officer), Robert T.
Menzel (Vice President, North American Sales) and Michael N.
Smith (Vice President, Marketing). In addition, John T. Stihl
and George E. Chapman remain executive officers and serve as
Chairman of the Board and Vice President, International Sales,
respectively, of Concurrent although Mr. Stihl resigned as
President and Chief Executive Officer. The employment of six
individuals as executive officers of Concurrent terminated upon
consummation of the Acquisition. Pursuant to their severance
arrangements with Concurrent, which were amended, in part, in
contemplation of the Acquisition, these former executive officers
will receive severance compensation equal to their respective
annual base salaries at the time of the Acquisition (an aggregate
of $921,000) payable from the proceeds of the sale of a number of
shares registered hereunder. Pursuant to the terms of the sever-
ance arrangements, 40% of the severance obligation shall be paid
to the former executive officers, not later than 30 days follow-
ing consummation of the Acquisition with the remaining portion to
be paid not later than 60 days following consummation of the
Acquisition (i.e., August 26, 1996). See "Use of Proceeds." For
additional information with respect to the severance arrange-
ments, see the Joint Proxy Statement incorporated by reference
herein.
The employment agreement with Mr. Stihl was also amended in
contemplation of the Acquisition to provide him with the option
to receive (i) full severance compensation (i.e., annual base
salary) for the 24-month period commencing the day following the
Closing Date or (ii) the proceeds from the sale, at Mr. Stihl's
direction, of shares of Concurrent Common Stock with a fair
market value of $730,000. Mr. Stihl has elected to receive the
proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and, accordingly, shares
are registered hereunder for that purpose.
Berenson Minella was engaged as financial advisor to the
Board of Directors of Concurrent in connection with the Acquisi-
tion. For a description of the fee arrangement between Berenson
Minella and Concurrent, see "Certain Arrangements with Berenson
Minella".
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Concurrent's principal offices are located at Two Crescent
Place, Oceanport, New Jersey 07757. Its telephone number is
(908) 870-4500. Concurrent's principal offices are being relocat-
ed to 2101 West Cypress Creek Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
33309.
Concurrent has also filed with the Commission a registration
statement on Form S-3 for 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable by Concurrent to CyberGuard (including a
maximum of 3,280,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to anti-
dilution adjustments, that are issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Preferred Stock or the debentures into which such
Convertible Preferred Stock is exchangeable pursuant to its
terms) in connection with the Acquisition. Concurrent will not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock offered
by CyberGuard.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Of the 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock being offered
hereby, Concurrent will sell up to 365,546 shares as directed by
Berenson Minella and will pay the net proceeds thereof to
Berenson Minella without deducting the related estimated expenses
(other than agent's commissions or underwriter's discounts, if
any) in partial satisfaction of the advisory fee due from Concur-
rent to Berenson Minella for its services as financial advisor to
Concurrent in connection with the Acquisition. Assuming a sale
price of $2 1/16 per share (the last reported sale price of the
Common Stock on July 1, 1996), the net proceeds to Berenson
Minella of the sale of all of such shares would be approximately
$732,000. See "Certain Arrangements with Berenson Minella" for a
discussion of the rights of Berenson Minella with respect to such
365,546 shares of Common Stock. With respect to the severance
owed to Mr. Stihl, based upon an assumed stock price of $2 1/16
per share without assuming any selling agent's commission,
Concurrent expects to sell approximately 354,000 shares as
directed by Mr. Stihl to satisfy such severance obligation. If
354,000 shares of Common Stock are insufficient to satisfy the
severance obligation to Mr. Stihl, Concurrent will allocate such
additional shares from the shares offered hereby as necessary to
satisfy such obligation. Of the remaining shares offered hereby,
Concurrent intends to sell that number of shares sufficient to
result in net proceeds of $921,000, after deducting the estimated
expenses related to the sale of such shares, to satisfy the
severance compensation obligations to certain former executive
officers. Any remaining shares after such sales will be
deregistered and the Registration Statement will be terminated.
See "Plan of Distribution" for a discussion of the retention of
specified agents, if any, to sell the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby.
RISK FACTORS
INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
HEREIN, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE
FOLLOWING FACTORS IN EVALUATING CONCURRENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
CHANGES IN MARKET PRICES OF COMMON STOCK; SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR
FUTURE SALE
General Market Risk
Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Concurrent
issued 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to CyberGuard, and
CyberGuard issued 683,178 shares of CyberGuard Stock to Concur-
rent. The market prices of the Common Stock will vary from such
price at the date of this Prospectus. Such variation will be the
result of changes in the business, operations or prospects of
Concurrent, regulatory considerations, general market, economic
and industry conditions, the results of operations, liquidity and
the market's perception of the prospects of Concurrent as well as
other factors affecting Concurrent including the risk factors set
forth below. Furthermore, because Concurrent owns 9% of the
CyberGuard Stock, the price of the Common Stock will also reflect
changes in the price of the CyberGuard Stock and in the business
prospects for CyberGuard. Despite Concurrent's ownership of the
CyberGuard Stock and its right to designate one of CyberGuard's
seven members of its Board of Directors, Concurrent will not be
able to control CyberGuard's strategic direction or influence the
day-to-day management of CyberGuard's business or the future
results of CyberGuard's operations.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, that
future sales of shares of Common Stock, or the availability of
shares of Common Stock for future sales, will have on the market
price of the Common Stock from time to time. Future sales of
shares of Common Stock (including shares issued upon exercise of
stock options), or the possibility that such sales could occur,
could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common
Stock. As of the date of this Prospectus, the shares of Common
Stock offered pursuant to this Prospectus, when aggregated with
the shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the exercise of
the options, the shares of Common Stock being offered by
CyberGuard (see "Concurrent Computer Corporation -- Additional
Information") and the shares issuable upon the exercise of
certain outstanding warrants to purchase 361,544 shares of Common
Stock at $3 per share, equal approximately 43.2% of the shares of
Common Stock outstanding. As of the date of this Prospectus,
there are 2,556,740 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of options that are fully vested of which 2,366,822 options have
an exercise price equal to or less than $3.00 per share. An
additional 6,056,209 shares of Common Stock or options therefor
are reserved and available for future issuance under Concurrent's
stock option plan. The shares of Common Stock issued to
CyberGuard are subject to the terms of the Share Holding Agree-
ment between Concurrent and CyberGuard pursuant to which shares
of Common Stock may be sold by CyberGuard subject to certain
restrictions on transfer (including certain restrictions on the
sales of shares when Concurrent is engaged in or preparing to
engage in a public offering of Common Stock) and on the volume of
sales by CyberGuard of Common Stock.
UNCERTAINTIES IN SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATING THE CYBERGUARD REAL-
TIME BUSINESS AND ACHIEVING COST SAVINGS
Concurrent has begun cost savings actions relating to the
Acquisition and expects full implementation thereof approximately
six months after the Acquisition. These savings will require
significant reductions in employees, as well as consolidation of
facilities worldwide and other miscellaneous cost savings ac-
tions. Obtaining these savings through the consolidation of
functions, the integration of departments, systems and procedures
and the relocation of staff present significant management
challenges. The consolidation of development and manufacturing
operations are especially challenging. The failure to effective-
ly consolidate development functions may result in delays in
introduction of the next generation of products. Similarly, the
failure to effectively consolidate manufacturing operations could
result in a delay in the shipment of certain customer orders and
could affect the quality of the goods delivered. Such failures
could have a material adverse effect on the future financial
performance, results of operations and financial condition of
Concurrent. There can be no assurance that such potential cost
savings, operating efficiencies and other synergies will be
successfully accomplished or accomplished within the time periods
initially contemplated, particularly since liquidity issues (see
" Potential Shortfall in Liquidity") may constrain Concurrent's
ability to integrate the real-time businesses of Concurrent and
CyberGuard. Moreover, although the primary purpose of such
actions is to realize direct cost savings and other operating
efficiencies, there can be no assurance of the extent to which
such cost savings and efficiencies can be achieved.
IMPACT OF TRANSACTION COSTS ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE; UNCERTAINTY
OF ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS
Concurrent expects to take a pre-tax charge in the range of
$29 to $32 million and to adjust goodwill to cover the transac-
tion costs of the Acquisition and the costs of integrating the
real-time businesses of Concurrent and CyberGuard, including the
cost of facility closings and employee terminations to eliminate
duplicate facilities and excess capacity and other non-recurring
items. Concurrent expects that such charges and related cash
transaction costs will initially have a material adverse effect
on Concurrent's financial performance and financial condition
within the period in which the charge and costs are taken.
Approximately $18 million of these costs are expected to be paid
out in cash over the next two years (primarily fiscal year 1997),
$9 to $11 million of the total charge are expected to be non-cash
fixed asset carrying cost adjustments and approximately $2 to $3
million are obligations which will be settled using proceeds of
the offering of Common Stock made hereby. Such costs include
Acquisition expenses (such as investment banker, legal and
accounting fees), employee, facility and equipment relocation
costs and employee out-placement costs. The $10 million of
remaining cash payments will be a continuation of current funding
requirements and, after their full satisfaction, are expected to
positively impact Concurrent's liquidity. For example, cash
expenditures for employee severance costs are expected to be paid
out over time without increasing payroll costs; payroll costs are
expected to decline as severance payments cease. There can be no
assurances as to the actual amount of these charges or adjust-
ments, and such charges or adjustments could be higher than
current estimates. In addition, there may be further charges in
future periods relating to the cost of integrating the real-time
business of Concurrent and CyberGuard. However, the amount of
such future charges cannot currently be determined.
DECLINING TREND IN NET SALES
Over the past five years, annual net sales of Concurrent
generally have declined from a high of approximately $255 million
to an annualized rate in the current fiscal year of approximately
$100 million. With the exception of the quarter ended June 30,
1995, where net sales increased $162,000 over the prior quarter,
net sales of Concurrent declined quarter to quarter during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 from $41.5 million in the first
quarter to $30.5 million in the fourth quarter for total net
sales during the period of $140.1 million. The trend continued
in the first two quarters of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 were
$26.5 million, a decrease of $15.0 million from the prior year
period and a decrease of $4 million from the previous quarter.
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1995 were $24.5
million, a decrease of $13.3 million from the prior year quarter
and a decrease of $2 million from the previous quarter. Net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $26.2 million, a
decrease of $4.2 million from the prior year period but an
increase of $1.7 million from the previous quarter. As a result
of the distractions and uncertainties associated with the Acqui-
sition, net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 are expect-
ed to be the lowest quarterly revenues for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996. The decline in net sales was largely the result
of the anticipated decline in sales of proprietary systems,
including reduced shipments under the U.S. Department of
Commerce's Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) program without
a corresponding increase in the sales of open systems. Declining
sales of computer systems consequently results in fewer mainte-
nance contracts. This, together with a decline in renewal rates
on maturing maintenance contracts as installed systems are
decommissioned and competitive discounting from third party
maintenance providers, has led to a declining trend in service
revenues.
The future growth of Concurrent's business and its future
financial performance will depend on, among other things, its
ability to increase net sales by continuing to develop and market
competitive real-time open systems products and to expand its
revenue base through a combination of internal growth and strate-
gic alliances. There can be no assurance as to the future growth
of Concurrent's business and financial performance or as to the
success of its products and strategic alliances.
HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT
For the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, Concurrent experienced losses
(before extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of changes
in accounting principles) of approximately $5.7 million, $2.0
million and $11.6 million, respectively. Concurrent recorded net
income of $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993.
Pro forma to reflect the Acquisition, Concurrent would have
experienced losses of approximately $7.6 million and $7.4 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995, respectively, assuming the Acquisition were
consummated at the beginning of each such period. There can be
no assurance that Concurrent will be able to achieve profitabili-
ty, or if achieved, that such profitability can be maintained.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, Concurrent also experi-
enced a decline in assets. On a pro forma basis as of March 31,
1996, as a result of the Acquisition, Concurrent would have had
assets of approximately $109.5 million, including its CyberGuard
Stock (see "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
of Concurrent" in the Joint Proxy Statement incorporated by
reference herein). The pro forma consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 1996 does not reflect certain restructuring adjustments
which may result from the integration of the Concurrent and
CyberGuard real-time businesses, such as the write-down of the
carrying value of property, plant and equipment which may become
excess to the needs of Concurrent. Such writedowns may exceed
$10 million. There can be no assurance that Concurrent's assets
will not continue to decline.
POTENTIAL SHORTFALL IN LIQUIDITY
Although the purchase of the CyberGuard real-time business
and the integration and consolidation of development and manufac-
turing operations is expected to improve Concurrent's liquidity
by permitting additional borrowing availability, there can be no
assurance that cash flow from the combined real-time operations
will be sufficient to fund transaction costs related to the
Acquisition including relocation of Concurrent's operations to
Florida, anticipated restructuring costs, and ongoing working
capital requirements. Concurrent's liquidity is dependent on many
factors, including sales volume, operating profit ratio, debt
service and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. The future
liquidity of Concurrent will depend to a significant extent on
(i) the actual versus anticipated decline in sales of proprietary
systems and service maintenance revenue; (ii) revenue growth from
open systems; (iii) both the related costs and the length of time
to realize the anticipated benefits from the integration of the
real-time businesses of Concurrent and CyberGuard; and (iv)
ongoing cost control actions. Liquidity will also be affected
by: (i) the timing of shipments, which predominantly occur
during the last month of the quarter; (ii) the increasing per-
centage of sales derived from outside the United States, where
there are generally longer accounts receivable collection cycles
and which receivables are not included in Concurrent's borrowing
base under its revolving credit facility; (iii) the sales level
in the United States, where related accounts receivable are
included in the borrowing base of Concurrent's revolving credit
facilities; and (iv) the number of countries in which Concurrent
will operate, which may require maintenance of minimum cash
levels in each country and, in certain cases, may restrict the
repatriation of cash, such as cash held on deposit to secure
office leases.
Concurrent may sell or pledge some or all of the CyberGuard
Stock to generate cash. To the extent CyberGuard consummates a
public offering of its stock, Concurrent intends to sell at least
one-half of the shares of CyberGuard Stock owned by it in connec-
tion with such public offering. On May 23, 1996, Cyberguard
filed a registration statement relating to a public offering of
2,500,000 million shares of its common stock of which 1,800,000
shares are being offered by Cyberguard, 341,589 are being offered
by Concurrent and the balance are being offered by other selling
stockholders. In addition, under the terms of the agreements
relating to the Acquisition, Concurrent may sell a portion of its
stock even if a public offering is not consummated. However,
Concurrent's ability to sell or pledge the CyberGuard Stock is
subject to a number of limitations and conditions pursuant to the
terms of the Acquisition. See "Terms Of The Transaction -- The
Share Holding Agreement" of the Joint Proxy Statement incorporat-
ed herein by reference. These limitations and conditions may
affect Concurrent's flexibility in generating cash through sales
of CyberGuard Stock.
Concurrent anticipates that the capital resources available
will be adequate to satisfy its capital requirements through June
1997, assuming quarterly net sales of the combined real-time
businesses in the range of $30 million. Concurrent's future
capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors,
including its ability to successfully market and sell its commer-
cial products, the cost and timing of the integration of the
real-time businesses of Concurrent and CyberGuard to realize
potential synergies and cost savings and the cost of developing,
marketing and selling competitive products. To the extent that
the funds generated by operations are insufficient to satisfy
Concurrent's capital requirements, Concurrent may seek additional
equity or debt financing or obtain additional credit facilities.
Any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on
terms which are not favorable to Concurrent and, in the case of
equity or convertible debt offerings, could result in dilution to
Concurrent's then existing stockholders. Concurrent is also
considering various additional financing alternatives, including
a possible sale or sale and partial leaseback of its Oceanport,
New Jersey facility to improve its financial flexibility. If
adequate funds are not available, Concurrent may be required to
curtail certain activities, including product development,
marketing and sales activities.
POTENTIALLY ADVERSE CUSTOMER REACTION
While Concurrent believes that its customers generally favor
the Acquisition due to the broader product line of Concurrent and
the other operational benefits of the Acquisition, there can be
no assurance as to such customer reaction. Adverse reactions by
Concurrent customers could have a material adverse effect on the
financial performance, results of operations and financial
condition of Concurrent.
LAG IN CUSTOMER ORDERS; LONG SALES CYCLE
Although Concurrent pursues significant programs with the
potential for high volume unit sales of its systems, it neither
has nor relies on fixed term or fixed quantity contracts for
future sales. Consequently, Concurrent relies on customer orders
in a given quarter for net sales for the quarter and on internal
forecasts of customer demand to plan operating expenditures. The
internal forecasts generally have proven to be optimistic. The
ability to match expenditures to anticipated sales is further
complicated by the trend of a majority of customers to delay
orders to the last month of a quarter. Further, the manufacture
of systems in anticipation of firm orders introduces the risk of
over-production and investing limited cash resources in potential
excess inventory. As a result, substantial efforts must be
undertaken on a continuous basis to maintain existing levels of
business and to manage expenditures consistent with anticipated
sales.
The sale of real-time products generally involves signifi-
cant education and commitment of capital by prospective custom-
ers, with the attendant delays frequently associated with large
capital expenditures and lengthy procurement procedures. For
these and other reasons, the expected sales cycle associated with
the sale of Concurrent's products is typically long and subject
to a number of significant risks over which Concurrent does not
have significant control. As a result, Concurrent may expend
significant resources pursuing potential sales that will not be
consummated, which in turn result in decreased revenues and cash
flow, potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on the
financial performance, results of operations and financial
condition of Concurrent.
SHIFT IN EMPHASIS AWAY FROM PROPRIETARY SYSTEMS
Many of Concurrent's target markets have undergone or are
undergoing a shift away from "proprietary" to "open" systems.
Sales related to Concurrent's proprietary systems, while declin-
ing, continue to represent more than 50% of its total systems
sales. Concurrent had approximately $25 million in open system
sales and $47 million in proprietary systems sales in its fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995 and $15 million in open systems sales
and $21 million in proprietary systems sales for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996. Although Concurrent's installed base of
proprietary systems is currently its largest market, Concurrent's
growth and its long-term financial performance will depend
largely on its ability to continue to develop and market industry
leading open systems that meet the real-time computing needs of
its targeted customers. Concurrent plans to capitalize on the
trend to open systems by focusing on its target markets as well
as entering into strategic alliances with third parties to bring
to market new solutions and software applications for new and
existing customers. Concurrent does not expect the shift in
emphasis to open systems to result in either significant incre-
mental costs over current cost levels or incremental capital
investment. A shift in emphasis to open systems may, however,
result in lower gross margins on systems sales. Currently, gross
margins on open systems are lower than gross margins on propri-
etary systems. Concurrent'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 reduced.
Servicing Concurrent's large installed base, particularly
its proprietary systems, is an important element in Concurrent's
business strategy and generates significant revenue and cash flow
to Concurrent. The shift in emphasis to open systems may also
have an adverse impact on maintenance revenues. Generally, open
systems require less maintenance and can, in many cases, be
serviced by the customers themselves or by third party providers.
For Concurrent, the shift in emphasis, together with declining
systems sales, resulted in the decline of service revenue from
$87.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1993 to $68.1 million
for the year ended June 30, 1995, respectively. For the nine
months ended March 31, 1996, Concurrent's service revenue was
$41.4 million compared to $51.8 million in the prior year period.
There can be no assurance that the decline in service revenue
will not continue. Should such decline continue, Concurrent's
operating income would be adversely affected by such a decline
unless non-service revenues increase and/or total operating
expenses are reduced.
PRODUCT OBSOLESCENCE; SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EXPENDITURES
The information technology industry is characterized by
rapid advances in technology and demand for more cost effective
"solutions." The technologies incorporated by Concurrent into
its products and future products are in a continuous state of
development and tend to be surpassed by new developments within
18-24 months of initial commercial use. Continued rapid advances
in technology will further accelerate the technological obsoles-
cence of these products as well as those of Concurrent's competi-
tors, which may affect Concurrent's financial performance,
results of operations and financial condition. Concurrent's
success will depend, to a significant extent, upon the ability to
enhance existing products, to integrate the best technologies of
Concurrent and CyberGuard and to introduce new products and
features in a timely manner to meet changing customer require-
ments. It will also be dependent on the success of strategic
technological alliances. In order to accomplish these objec-
tives, Concurrent must maintain certain levels of investment in
research and development and effectively use this investment.
Concurrent must obtain and incorporate new hardware, software,
communications and peripheral technologies that are primarily
developed by others. There can be no assurance that the new
product development activities will be successful, that new
technologies will be available to Concurrent, that it will be
able to deliver commercial products in a timely manner or that
its products will achieve market acceptance. The business of
Concurrent will be adversely affected if it, its strategic
partners, or its suppliers incur delays in developing new prod-
ucts or enhancements, or if such products or enhancements do not
gain market acceptance because of competing technology. In
addition, some new product introductions are intended to replace
existing products. Although reasonable commercial efforts will
be made to monitor and manage new product introductions, there
can be no assurance that a new product introduction will not
result in a material amount of obsolete inventory. Consequently,
there may be a material adverse effect on liquidity of Concurrent
in the event there is significant inventory that Concurrent is
unable to dispose of in a reasonable time frame at an aggregate
value approximately equal to its aggregate book value. There can
be no assurance that new product introductions will be executed
without a material adverse effect on the financial performance,
results of operations or the financial condition of Concurrent.
The costs of developing future products in the real-time comput-
ing and multimedia markets is expected to be significant. While
Concurrent's real-time computing sectors are well developed and
have an extensive operational history, its multimedia sector is
in the relatively early stages of market development and is
likely to require extensive development, sales and marketing
expense before it may be in a position to contribute significant
revenue or cash flow. There can be no assurance as to the cost
of funding future products in either product sector or on the
ability of these product sectors to contribute to the revenues or
cash flows of Concurrent.
NEED TO ESTABLISH ADDITIONAL MARKETING RELATIONSHIPS
A significant business strategy of Concurrent is to enter
into strategic marketing alliances or other similar collaborative
relationships. There can be no assurance that existing or
contemplated collaborative relationships will be commercially
successful, that Concurrent will be able to negotiate additional
collaborative relationships, that such additional collaborations
will be available to Concurrent on acceptable terms or that any
such relationships, if established, will be commercially success-
ful. The potential increased revenues from such relationships
may be reduced by requirements to provide volume price discounts
and other allowances, and potential significant costs incurred in
customizing products. In addition, there can be no assurance
that parties with whom collaborative relationships are estab-
lished will not pursue alternative technologies or develop
alternative products in addition to or in lieu of Concurrent's
products, either on their own or in collaboration with others,
including Concurrent's competitors. Such alternative technolo-
gies or products, if developed, may be in direct competition with
Concurrent's technologies or products and may significantly erode
the benefits of such strategic marketing alliances or collabora-
tive relationships.
LIMITED PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY
RIGHTS; RISK OF LITIGATION; RELIANCE ON LICENSED TECHNOLOGY
Concurrent relies on patent, trademark, copyright and trade
secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements
and other methods to protect its rights. Concurrent holds
patents and may apply for patents which cover certain aspects of
its technology. There can be no assurance that any pending or
future patent applications will be granted or that any current or
future patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvent-
ed or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive
advantages to Concurrent. There can be no assurance that Concur-
rent s trade secrets or non-disclosure agreements will provide
meaningful protection of its proprietary information. Further-
more, there can be no assurance that others will not independent-
ly develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology
developed by Concurrent or that the technology will not infringe
upon patents or other rights owned by others. Further, Concur-
rent may be subject to risk as it enters into transactions in
countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed
or are poorly enforced. Legal protections of Concurrent's rights
may be ineffective in such countries, and technology developed in
such countries may not be protectable in jurisdictions where
protection is ordinarily available. Concurrent s inability to
maintain a competitive advantage based on proprietary rights
would have a material adverse effect on its financial perfor-
mance, results of operations and financial condition.
As the number of real-time computing products in the indus-
try increases and the functionality of these products further
overlaps, software developers and publishers may increasingly
become subject to infringement claims. There can be no assurance
that third parties will not assert infringement claims against
Concurrent in the future with respect to current or future
products. There has been substantial litigation regarding
patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property
rights involving computer companies generally. Concurrent has
been separately notified by IBM and BTG (British Technology
Group), that each believes that certain of Concurrent s technolo-
gy may infringe on certain patents held by their respective
companies. These and any claims or litigation, with or without
merit, could be costly and could result in a diversion of manage-
ment s attention, which could have a material adverse effect on
Concurrent's financial performance, results of operations and
financial condition. Adverse determinations in such claims or
litigation could also have a material adverse effect on
Concurrent's financial performance, results of operations and
financial condition.
From time to time, other companies and individuals assert
exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual
property rights to technologies or marks that are important to
the computer industry or Concurrent's business. Concurrent
evaluates each claim relating to its products and, if appropri-
ate, seeks a license to use the protected technology. The
licensing agreements generally do not protect Concurrent from
trade secret, copyright or other violations by Concurrent or its
suppliers in developing or selling these products. There can be
no assurance, however, that Concurrent will be able to obtain
licenses to intellectual property of third parties on commercial-
ly reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, Concurrent could be
at a disadvantage if its competitors obtain licenses for protect-
ed technologies with more favorable terms than does Concurrent.
If Concurrent or its suppliers are unable to license protected
technology used in its products, Concurrent could be prohibited
from marketing those products or may have to market products
without desirable features. Concurrent could also incur substan-
tial costs to redesign its products or to defend any legal action
taken against it. If Concurrent's products should be found to
infringe protected technology, it could be enjoined from further
infringement and required to pay damages to the infringed party.
RELIANCE ON GOVERNMENT BUSINESS
Concurrent derives a significant portion of its revenues
from the supply of systems under government contracts. For its
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, approximately $39.2 million of
Concurrent's revenues were directly or indirectly related to
agencies of the U.S. Government. This amount represented approx-
imately 28% of Concurrent's worldwide revenues for fiscal year
1995, compared to 31% and 29% for its 1994 and 1993 fiscal years,
respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, approxi-
mately $14 million (18%) of Concurrent s revenues were directly
or indirectly related to agencies of the U.S. Government.
Concurrent's revenues related to sales to the U.S. Government are
derived from various federal agencies, no one of which accounted
for more than 5% of total revenues (e.g., several agencies
participate under the NEXRAD program). Sales to Unisys Corp., as
prime contractor, under the NEXRAD program contributed approxi-
mately $17.5 million, $23 million and $35 million in revenues for
fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The program is
largely completed and no significant revenue is expected for
future periods. Government business is, in general, subject to
special risks, such as delays in funding, termination of con-
tracts or subcontracts for convenience of the government or for
default by the contractor, reduction or modification of contracts
or subcontracts, failure to exercise options, changes in govern-
mental policies and the imposition of budgetary constraints. A
loss of government contract revenues could have a material
adverse effect on the financial performance, results of opera-
tions and financial condition of Concurrent.
DEPENDENCE ON INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The financial results of Concurrent are increasingly depen-
dent on its international operations. Approximately 46% of
total revenues for its fiscal year 1995 were derived from inter-
national operations. For the nine months ended March 31, 1996,
approximately 51% of total revenues were derived from interna-
tional operations. Concurrent expects international operations
to continue to account for a significant percentage of total
revenues. Certain risks are inherent in international opera-
tions, including exposure to currency fluctuations, the imposi-
tion of government controls, export license requirements, re-
strictions on the export of critical technology, political and
economic instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs,
taxes and freight rates, generally longer payment cycles, diffi-
culties in staffing and managing international operations and
general economic conditions. From time to time in the past,
financial results of Concurrent 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 financial performance, results of
operations and financial condition of Concurrent. Although
international revenues continue to represent an increasing
percentage of total revenues, accounts receivable from such
international revenues are not included in the borrowing base
under Concurrent's revolving credit facility.
COMPETITION
Concurrent operates in highly competitive environments
driven by rapid technological innovation. Many of its competi-
tors have greater financial and operating resources. In addi-
tion, companies with greater resources that currently do not
compete may enter into various of the company's target business-
es. The success of Concurrent will depend in part upon the
ability of its management to demonstrate to potential customers
the performance and reliability of its products and services.
There can be no assurance that management will be successful in
these efforts.
An increase in competition could result in, among other
things, price reductions and loss of sales volume. Such competi-
tion and any resulting reduction in aggregate revenues and/or
gross margins could have a material adverse effect on the future
financial performance, results of operations and financial
condition of Concurrent. There can be no assurance that
Concurrent's competitors will not develop real-time products that
may be more effective than Concurrent's current or future prod-
ucts or that Concurrent's technologies and products will not be
rendered obsolete by such developments.
LIMITED SOURCES OF SUPPLY
In limited cases, Concurrent purchases components from a
single supplier to obtain the required technology and the most
favorable price and delivery terms. Concurrent estimates that a
lead time of up to 16-24 weeks may be necessary to switch to an
alternative supplier of certain custom application specific
integrated circuits ("ASICS") and printed circuit assemblies. A
change in the supplier of these components without the appropri-
ate lead time could result in a material delay in shipments by
Concurrent of certain products and possibly, a material adverse
effect on the financial performance, results of operations and
financial condition of Concurrent.
Concurrent purchases components, including customized
components such as certain computer peripheral equipment incorpo-
rated into NightHawk computers, from a single supplier to obtain
the required technology and the most favorable price and delivery
terms. This single supplier will continue to be relied upon by
Concurrent. In the manufacture of the current generation 6000
series of NightHawk computers, Concurrent depends on the avail-
ability of Power PC chips provided by both IBM and Motorola. In
addition, the manufacturing process requires a high volume of
quality components that are procured from third-party suppliers.
Reliance on suppliers, as well as industry supply condi-
tions, generally involve several risks, including the possibility
of defective parts, a shortage of components, increase in compo-
nent costs, and reduced control over delivery schedules, any or
all of which could adversely affect Concurrent's respective
financial results. Where alternative sources are available,
qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of
reliable supplies of components from such sources may result in
delays. Problems with supplier performance or delays in delivery
of components may cause a delay in shipments of various 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 financial results for that particu-
lar period.
POTENTIAL NEED TO EXPAND INFRASTRUCTURE
If Concurrent experiences rapid growth, of which there can
be no assurance, it will need to continue to improve and expand
its infrastructure. There can be no assurance that Concurrent
will be able to manage expansion of its infrastructure to support
future growth effectively, if required. Concurrent expects to
transition its management information systems to more fully
integrate them on an enterprise wide basis, to reduce redundancy
and to incorporate enhanced functionality. There can be no
assurance that this management information system transition can
be accomplished on a timely basis or without disruptions of
Concurrent's operations, or management information functions,
which could have a material adverse effect on Concurrent's
financial performance, results of operations and financial
condition.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES
As a high technology company in a highly competitive indus-
try, the success of Concurrent depends in part on its ability to
attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales
and marketing employees. Competition for these key employees is
intense. The uncertainty as to which employees will remain as
part of Concurrent and the locations of various functions in
connection with the integration of the CyberGuard real-time
business as well as other factors beyond Concurrent's control may
lead certain employees to choose alternative employment. Al-
though Concurrent is not dependent on any one employee, the loss
of a number of key employees in significant positions and the
inability to attract and retain qualified replacement employees
in a timely manner could adversely affect the financial perfor-
mance, results of operations and financial condition of Concur-
rent.
DIVIDEND POLICY
It is currently contemplated that Concurrent will not pay
cash dividends on the Common Stock in the immediately foreseeable
future. Concurrent's dividend policy will be reviewed by its
Board of Directors at such future time as may be appropriate in
light of relevant factors existing at such times.
CERTAIN BARRIERS TO CHANGES OF CONTROL; EFFECTS OF CHANGES OF
CONTROL
Rights associated with Common Stock may have the effect of
discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal to
Concurrent, and may thereby inhibit a change in control of the
company in circumstances that could give the holders of Common
Stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then prevail-
ing market price. Such provisions may also adversely affect the
market price of Common Stock. In addition, loans under certain
credit agreements may be accelerated at the option of the lenders
in the event of a "change in control" of Concurrent (as that term
is defined in the credit agreements governing such loans). The
charter and by-laws of Concurrent and the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "DGCL") contain certain provisions that may
have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated merger or other
business combination.
The Board of Directors of Concurrent has the authority to
issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the designa-
tions, preferences, and rights and the qualifications or restric-
tions of those shares without any further vote or action by the
stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be
subject to, and may be materially adversely affected by, the
rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued
in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing
desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions
and other corporate actions, could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from acquiring, as the case may be. With the excep-
tion of the Convertible Preferred Stock issued to CyberGuard,
Concurrent has no present plan to issue shares of preferred
stock.
LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF CERTAIN TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
Concurrent has substantial tax loss carryforwards available
to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the use
of Concurrent's tax loss carryforwards could be limited in the
event of an "ownership change" involving more than 50% of
Concurrent's stock, including ownership changes arising by reason
of stock issuances by Concurrent. Although Concurrent has issued
a significant amount of stock in connection with the Acquisition,
the "ownership shift" resulting from such issuance, when coupled
with other ownership shifts involving certain 5% stockholders of
Concurrent since July 21, 1993, is not sufficient to constitute a
50% ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the
Code. Accordingly, the Acquisition has not impaired the avail-
ability of these tax loss carryforwards to Concurrent. It is
possible, however, that future ownership shifts involving the
stock of Concurrent could limit its ability to use these tax loss
carryforwards, including changes which occur by reason of addi-
tional stock issuances by Concurrent or acquisitions or disposi-
tions of Common Stock by persons who are or become owners of 5%
or more of Common Stock.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Concurrent has adopted and implemented a Rights Agreement
that will expire by its terms on August 14, 2002 pursuant to
which each share of Common Stock has attached to it a right to
purchase a share of preferred stock under certain circumstances.
This agreement is intended to encourage a person interested in
acquiring Concurrent to negotiate with, and to obtain the approv-
al of, the Board of Directors in connection with such a transac-
tion. However, this agreement may discourage a future acquisi-
tion of Concurrent, including an acquisition in which stockhold-
ers might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a
result, stockholders who might desire to participate in such a
transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.
CERTAIN ARRANGEMENTS WITH BERENSON MINELLA
In June 1995, Concurrent engaged Berenson Minella as its
financial advisor to assist senior management in restructuring
and/or refinancing Concurrent's bank debt and to explore various
options with respect to raising capital and combination transac-
tions with other parties As part of such engagement, Berenson
Minella acted as Concurrent's financial advisor in connection
with the Acquisition.
Since June 1995, Berenson Minella has received fees total-
ling $280,000 for its financial advisory services to Concurrent.
In connection with the Acquisition, Concurrent agreed to pay
Berenson Minella a transaction fee of $971,690 equal to 1.5% of
the average aggregate value of the outstanding Common Stock (as
of the close of business) for the five business days prior to the
date of consummation of the Acquisition (the "Closing Price").
Of such fee, $300,000 was paid at the closing of the Acquisition
(offset by previously paid retainer fees as described in the
preceding sentence), and the remainder of $671,690 (the "Remain-
der Amount") is payable by delivery to Berenson Minella of the
proceeds from the sale by Concurrent at the direction of Berenson
Minella of the 365,546 shares of Common Stock offered hereby;
provided, however, that if the aggregate net proceeds from the
sale of the shares are less than the Remainder Amount, Concurrent
has agreed to pay Berenson Minella the amount of the difference
in cash on or before the twenty-fifth business day following the
closing of the Acquisition or, if Berenson Minella so elects, to
deliver such unsold shares to Berenson Minella, which shares
would be unregistered and without registration rights. Concur-
rent will sell up to 365,546 of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby only as directed by Berenson Minella and will not
be entitled to any of the proceeds therefrom. See "Plan of
Distribution." Pursuant to the terms of the engagement, the
number of shares was determined by using a price per share equal
to the product of (i) the Closing Price and (ii) .875. Concur-
rent has also agreed to reimburse Berenson Minella for its
reasonable out of pocket expenses (including the fees and expens-
es of its counsel) and to indemnify Berenson Minella and certain
related persons against certain liabilities and expenses in
connection with its services as financial advisor and the sale of
the 365,546 shares of Common Stock in connection with the compen-
sation therefor, including liabilities under federal securities
laws.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The distribution of the shares of Common Stock is not
subject to any underwriting agreement. Any or all of the shares
of Common Stock offered hereby may be offered and sold to
purchasers directly by or on behalf of Concurrent from time to
time in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated
transactions, or otherwise at prices prevailing in such market or
as may be negotiated at the time of the sale. With respect to
365,546 of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby, Concurrent
has, at the direction of Berenson Minella, designated Bear,
Stearns & Co., Inc. ("Bear Stearns") as the selling agent. An
account has been established at Bear Stearns for the benefit of
Berenson Minella. Concurrent, upon notification by Berenson
Minella, will direct the sale of the 365,546 shares by Bear
Stearns. To the extent that the aggregate net proceeds generated
from the sale of the shares of Common Stock exceed the Remainder
Amount, Berenson Minella will retain such excess proceeds in
accordance with the terms of its fee arrangement with Concurrent.
Bear Stearns will earn an agency fee of $.06 per share of Common
Stock sold. Alternatively, Bear Stearns, which is a market-maker
in the Common Stock, may act as principal in the purchase of such
shares.
Concurrent expects to sell the remaining shares of Common
Stock from time to time through selling agents or brokers to be
designated from time to time.
To the extent that the aggregate net proceeds from the sale
of shares of Common Stock are insufficient to fund the obliga-
tions to Mr. Stihl or the executive officers, Concurrent may use
cash or register additional shares of Common Stock for sale
pursuant to a new registration statement.
Agents that participate in the distribution of shares of the
Common Stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on
the sale of the shares of the Common Stock by them and any
commissions received by them may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The agents
may also engage in other transactions with, and perform services
for, Concurrent. At the time a particular offer of the shares of
Common Stock is made, to the extent required, a supplement to
this Prospectus will be distributed which will set forth the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock being offered, and the
terms of the offering, the name or names of any agents, any
underwriting discounts or commissions and other items constitut-
ing compensation from, and the resulting net proceeds to, Concur-
rent, any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or
reallowed or paid to dealers and, if applicable, the purchase
price to be paid by any underwriter for shares of Common Stock
purchased from Concurrent.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain
states, sales of shares of the Common Stock to the public in such
states may be made only through broker-dealers who are registered
or licensed in such states. Sales of shares of the Common Stock
must also be made by the Concurrent in compliance with other
applicable state securities laws and regulations.
In connection with Berenson Minella's engagement as finan-
cial advisor to Concurrent, Concurrent has agreed to indemnify
Berenson Minella and each other person, if any, who controls
Berenson Minella within the meaning of the Securities Act, and
its respective directors, officers, partners, agents and affili-
ates, against certain liabilities which may be incurred in
connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock under this
Prospectus. The terms of the indemnification agreement also
provide for rights of contribution if such indemnification is not
available.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be
passed on for Concurrent by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides
that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well
as other employees and individuals against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation - a "deriva-
tive action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of
derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute re-
quires court approval before there can be any indemnification
where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to
the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive
of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's
charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote,
agreement or otherwise. Article 23 of the Registrant's By-laws
provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees
and agents of the Registrant for expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments or fines of any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding.
Article 11 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that directors shall not be liable for monetary damages
resulting from a breach of their fiduciary duties, except for
liability for any of the following: (i) any breach of the duty
of loyalty to the Registrant and its stockholders, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional miscon-
duct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) as provided under
Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (which provides that directors are personally liable for
unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchase or redemptions),
or (iv) any transaction from which a director personally derived
any improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corpora-
tion Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of Article
11 to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of Concurrent shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
as so amended from time to time. Any repeal or modification of
Article 11 shall not increase the personal liability of any
director of Concurrent for any act or occurrence taking place
prior to such repeal or modification, or otherwise adversely
affect any right or protection of a director of Concurrent
existing hereunder prior to the time of such repeal or modifica-
tion.
The Registrant maintains director and officer liability
insurance policies providing for the insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant and
subsidiary companies against any liability incurred by him in any
such capacity or arising out of his status as such. The
insurers' limit of liability under the policies is $10,000,000 in
the aggregate for all insured losses per year. The policies
contain various reporting requirements and exclusions.
Effective January 31, 1996 Concurrent entered into indemnity
agreements with its directors and executive officers (each, an
"Indemnitee" and collectively, the "Indemnitees"). The indemnity
agreements provide a contractual right to indemnification to the
Indemnitees for certain expenses incurred due to actions, suits
or other proceedings brought against them in their capacity as
directors, officers, employees or agents of Concurrent or any of
its subsidiaries.

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 amend-
ment 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-effec-
tive amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the infor-
mation 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 state-
ment.
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 with
or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursu-
ant 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.
(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 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration state-
ment 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the regis-
trant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has ben advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, there-
fore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemni-
fication 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 regis-
trant 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 indem-
nification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
