The Video Solutions Market
Today's consumers demand flexibility in their content viewing options, whether on a TV, computer, or other connected device. This trend has created a fundamental shift in video delivery and the supporting network architecture as service providers, both in coaxial cable and in IPTV markets, balance limited capital budgets with the wide variety of infrastructure investment options.
Service providers have seen video-on-demand ("VOD") use grow consistently and significantly as VOD has become a widely established and adopted service offering. According to Rentrak, 55 million U.S. homes have access to VOD. The average U.S. home spends eight hours per month viewing VOD content and VOD transactions increased 12.8% in 2011 to 8.8 billion (Rentrak, State of VOD: Trend Report 2011).

Customers
We derive revenue from a limited number of customers. Our products are typically manufactured and shipped in the same quarter the purchase order is received, and as a result we typically have minimal meaningful backlog. Our backlog for real-time systems and video solutions at June 30, 2012 totaled $10.9 million.
We have purchase agreements with many customers, but these agreements typically do not require minimum purchases of our products. As a result, sales to specific customers tend to, and are expected to continue to, vary from year-to-year, depending on such customers' budgets for capital expenditures and new product introductions.
A significant portion of our video revenue has come from, and is expected to continue to come from sales to service providers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, Jupiter Telecomunications accounted for 20% of total revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, Time Warner and Jupiter Telecommunications each accounted for 11% of total revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, Cox Communications, Inc. ("Cox") represented 20% of our total revenue. No other customer of our video solutions accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue during the last three fiscal years.
Although we sell our real-time products to large customers, our customer base is generally more diversified than our video solutions business. For the fiscal years 2012 and 2011, no real-time customers accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") accounted for 11% of our total revenue.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from the supply of products to U.S. government prime contractors and agencies of the U.S. government. The supplied systems include RedHawk, iHawk, ImaGen, PowerMAXION, and other configurations with certain systems incorporating custom enhancements requested by the customer. We sell these integrated computer systems to prime contractors, including Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and other Fortune 500 companies. We also supply spare parts, upgrades, and engineering consulting services and both hardware and software maintenance. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $8.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively, in revenues to U.S. government prime contractors and agencies of the U.S. government. These amounts represented 13% and 18% of total revenue in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Government business is subject to many risks, such as delays in funding, reduction or modification of contracts or subcontracts, failure to exercise options, changes in government policies and the imposition of budgetary constraints. A loss of government contract revenues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
New Product Development
We are committed to the development of new technology and rapid innovation in the evolving markets in which we compete. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and aggregated $13.2 million, $14.1 million, and $12.5 million in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. See Part II, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for explanations of changes in research and development expenses. The following development strategies are indicative of the general direction of product development activities. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with product development, we cannot guarantee the availability of future products and features.

In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with our current and potential customers and have extensive knowledge of our markets.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of contracts and copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. We distribute our products under software license agreements that grant customers perpetual or term licenses to our products, which contain various provisions protecting our ownership and confidentiality of the licensed technology. The source code of our products is protected as a trade secret and as an unpublished copyright work. However, some of our products utilize open source code that provides limited copyright protection. In addition, in certain instances, we license our products under licenses that give licensees limited access to the source code of certain of our products, particularly in connection with our strategic alliances.
Despite the precautions we have taken, there can be no assurance that our products or technology will not be copied or otherwise obtained and used without authorization. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries and with respect to open source code utilized in certain of our products. We believe that, due to the rapid pace of innovation within our industry, factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel are more important in establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position within the industry than are the various legal protections for our technology.

BBR co-owns the Subject Patents with Alcatel-Lucent. The Patent License provides a license to the Subject Patents that may be transferred to an acquirer of Concurrent or Concurrent's video streaming business, so long as the acquirer has not been formally identified as an actual or potential Alcatel-Lucent licensee.
We have entered into licensing agreements with several third-party software developers and suppliers. Generally, such agreements grant us non-exclusive, worldwide term licenses to distribute software as part of the systems we market.
Suppliers
We sometimes purchase product components from a single supplier in order to obtain the required technology and the most favorable price and delivery terms. These components include systems, system boards, memory, CPUs, mother boards, storage devices, software, and chassis. We purchase product components from the following single suppliers: Dell, Xyratex, Qlogic, Dot Hill, STEC, Curtis-Wright, Oracle, Kardios, KMA Systems, Supermicro, GE Fanuc, Data Device Corporation, Seagate, Western Digital, Myricom, and North Atlantic Industries . In most cases, comparable products are available from other sources, but would require significant reengineering to conform to our system specifications. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, Dot Hill Systems Corporation (28%) was the only single-source supplier accounting for 10% or more of these purchases. Single-source suppliers accounting for 10% or more of these purchases during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were Xyratex (21%) and Dell (20%). Single-source suppliers accounting for 10% or more of these purchases during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 were Xyratex (20%) and Dell (19%).

Seasonality
We have experienced variations in revenue, expenses and operating results from quarter to quarter, and it is probable that these variations will continue. We believe that fluctuations in the number of orders for our video solutions being placed from quarter to quarter are principally attributable to the buying patterns and budgeting cycles of our customers. We believe that orders for real-time products are dictated by buying cycles of the government and large government contractors. In addition, for both product lines, orders are often not finalized until the end of a quarter. However, we do not believe seasonality is a significant factor at this time.
Governmental Regulation
We are subject to various international, U.S. federal, state and local laws affecting our business. Any finding that we have been or are in noncompliance with such laws could result in, among other things, governmental penalties. Further, changes in existing laws or new laws may adversely affect our business.
In connection with orders from the U.S. federal government and government contractors, we are in some circumstances subject to the U.S. federal government procurement regulations that may provide the buyer with the right to audit and review our performance, as well as our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, our business is subject to government regulation based on the products we sell that may be subject to government requirements, such as obtaining an export license or an end-use certificate from the buyer, in certain circumstances. In the United States, these requirements include, among others, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the economic sanctions and embargo laws enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, or if we are alleged to have violated any laws or regulations governing the products we sell under our government contracts, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. federal government agencies.
Recently, several countries where our systems are shipped have adopted rules and regulations governing the labeling of computer hardware which apply to our products. Specifically, we must comply with the Waste of Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) enacted in the European Union and the Ministry of Information Order No. 39 in China.
The television industry is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and other countries. Our video solutions business is dependent upon the continued growth of the digital television industry in the United States and internationally. Broadband companies are subject to extensive government regulation by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and other federal and state regulatory agencies. The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), which amended the Communications Act of 1934, established policies in the areas of ownership, channel usage, franchise provisions and renewals, subscriber rates and privacy, obscenity and lockboxes, unauthorized reception of services, equal employment opportunity, and pole attachments. The 1984 Cable Act also defined jurisdictional boundaries among federal, state and local authorities for regulating cable television systems which, among other provisions, allow for expanded regulatory powers when domestic cable penetration exceeds a threshold of 70% of all U.S. households. Additional regulations could have the effect of limiting capital expenditures by our customers and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The enactment by federal, state or international governments of new laws or regulations could adversely affect our customers, and thereby materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental Matters
We purchase, use, and arrange for certified disposal of chemicals used in the manufacturing process at our Pompano Beach, Florida facility. As a result, we are subject to federal and state environmental protection and community right-to-know laws. Additionally, we export our products around the world where there are additional environmental regulations. These laws could have the effect of limiting our capital expenditures and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Violations of such laws can result in the imposition of substantial remediation costs and penalties. We believe we are in compliance with all material environmental laws and regulations.
Employees
As of June 30, 2012, we had 233 full-time employees and contractors worldwide. Of these employees and contractors, 181 were located in the United States and 52 were located internationally. Our employees are not unionized.
Financial Information About Foreign And Domestic Operations And Export Sales
A summary of net sales (consolidated net sales reflects sales to unaffiliated customers) attributable to our foreign and domestic operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011, and 2010 is presented in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included herein.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following are the material risk factors we face.
You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks are not the only ones we face. Our business operations could also be impaired by additional risks and uncertainties that, at present, are not known to us, or that, at present, are considered immaterial.
If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If that happens, the trading prices of our common stock and other securities we may issue in the future could decline significantly.
The risk factors below contain forward-looking statements regarding Concurrent. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page 35.
Risks Related to Our Business
A significant portion of our revenue has been, and is expected to continue to be, concentrated in a small number of customers. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining and expanding relationships with these customers or lose any of these customers, our business will be adversely affected.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, Jupiter Telecommunications accounted for approximately 20% of our total revenue and approximately 34% of our video solutions revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, Time Warner and Jupiter Telecommunications each accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenue and each accounted for approximately 20% of our video solutions revenue. We have experienced more than a 42% decrease in revenue from our two largest North American video customers during our fiscal year 2012 due to lower spending by these customers, compared to the same period in the prior year. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining and expanding key relationships with these and other existing customers or if these customers' purchasing levels are reduced, our business will be materially adversely affected. Further, if we are unsuccessful in establishing relationships with other large companies or experience problems in any of our systems, our ability to attract new customers and sell additional products to existing customers will be materially adversely affected.

Table of Contents
Due to our limited customer base and the relative size of each customer compared to Concurrent, our customers may make extensive demands upon our business. Such demands may include high levels of contractual service, product-improvement obligations and severe price pressure. In addition, our failure to adequately perform under these contracts could result in liquidated damages. The payment of any liquidated damages or failure to meet our customers' expectations could substantially harm our future business prospects.
We typically do not have written agreements that require customers to purchase fixed minimum quantities of our products. Our sales to specific customers tend to, and are expected to continue to, vary from year-to-year, depending on such customers' budgets for capital expenditures and new product introductions. Further, such expenditures may be reduced, delayed or cancelled as a result of the continuing global economic slowdown on each of these customers' businesses.
In North America, video service provider companies have widely adopted video solutions over the past decade. Many will be reluctant to change vendors as systems are upgraded, due to the integration into their network. As a result, future opportunities for new sales of video servers into these markets may be limited.
We depend on a small number of domestic cable multiple system operators (MSOs) for a substantial proportion of our domestic revenues. Any decrease or delay in capital spending for advanced technologies harms our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
The capital spending patterns of our existing and potential customers are dependent on a variety of factors, including:
| · | annual budget cycles; |
| · | technology adoption cycles and network architectures of service providers, and evolving industry standards that may impact them; |
| · | changes in general economic conditions; |
| · | changes in strategic focus; |
| · | competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; and |
| · | discretionary customer spending patterns. |
Since 2009, we have seen reduced capital spending by our domestic cable service provider customers for our video solutions products. We expect these sales to continue to constitute a significant majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Demand for our products will depend on the magnitude and timing of capital spending by service providers on advanced technologies for constructing and upgrading their network infrastructure. Continued slowdowns or delays in this spending would likely have a material adverse impact on our quarterly revenues and net losses.
If revenues forecasted for a particular period are not realized in such period due to the lengthy, complex and unpredictable sales cycles of our products, our operating results for that or subsequent periods will be harmed.
The sales cycles of our products are typically lengthy, complex and unpredictable and usually involve:
| · | a significant technical evaluation period; |
| · | a significant commitment of capital and other resources by service providers |
| · | substantial time required to engineer the deployment of our products; |
| · | substantial time and expense testing and qualifying new technologies; and |
| · | substantial time and expense deploying new technologies into their networks. |
For these and other reasons, our sales cycles are generally between six and eighteen months, but can last longer. If orders forecasted for a specific customer for a particular quarter do not occur in that quarter, our operating results for that quarter or subsequent quarters could be substantially lower than anticipated. Our quarterly and annual results may fluctuate significantly due to revenue recognition rules and the timing of the receipt of customer orders.
Additionally, service revenues such as installation services associated with product sales are impacted with such delays.

A loss of our government contracts and/or orders would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We derive a significant portion of our real-time revenues from the supply of systems under government contracts and/or orders. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $8.1 million in revenue to U.S. government prime contractors and agencies of the U.S. government, down $3.8 million, or 32% from the year ended June 30, 2011. These sales represent approximately 13% and 18% of our total sales in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Government business is subject to many risks, such as delays in funding, reduction or modification of contracts or subcontracts, changes in governmental policies or regulations which could significantly increase the cost of doing business with the government and the imposition of budgetary constraints. Many governments are struggling to balance their budgets which could further reduce funding for contracts. A loss of government contract revenues would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to develop and market new products and product enhancements in a timely manner, our business could be adversely affected.
Our future success is dependent on our development and marketing of additional products that achieve market acceptance and enhance our current products. In addition, services, products or technologies developed by others may render one or more of our products or technologies uncompetitive, unmarketable or obsolete. Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products, including development of new applications for our technology, and to develop and introduce new products to meet and adapt to changing customer requirements and emerging technologies. Our failure to respond to rapidly changing technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our efforts to trim expenses in research and development could have the unintended consequence of impacting our delivery of new products or enhancements to existing products. Our inability to develop, on a timely basis, new products or enhancements to existing products, or the failure of such new products or enhancements to achieve market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in pursuing any new products or enhancements to existing products.
We are adapting the video products to add features allowing deployments to cable, IPTV, and Internet CDN providers to enable multi-screen video delivery. The changes will require new knowledge sets, especially in research and development, and will require us to develop and sell new products to new customers. A failure to execute on this transition will adversely affect our business.
Our video expertise for the last ten years has been focused on the VOD market. Although we have been successful in VOD, we recognize it is a relatively small market and, as such, we plan to transition the business to serve video to all devices. In order to accomplish this transformation, we have rolled-out a new strategic plan and we have begun executing against that plan. We are currently investing in research and development resources to develop the products necessary to serve these new markets. We have also invested in new sales professionals to help us sell our existing and new products to a wide customer set. We believe that these steps are necessary, but they are expensive. We are making these investments in a challenging macro-economic environment and may be unable to develop or sell any new marketable products. In addition, we may face robust competition both from internally-developed solutions and from larger and better-positioned companies. If we are not successful in establishing new products and new customers, we will have expended considerable effort and capital to transition the business and will not have received any economic benefit.
Our media data solutions business has been challenged. We have struggled to achieve market traction and profitability.
We have substantially reduced personnel supporting this product line. Moving forward, we will focus on our core software to retain accounts and grow the business in a challenging macro-economic environment. If we are not successful, we will have expended considerable effort to transition the business and will not have received any economic benefit.

We cannot guarantee that our products and services will keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards, address the changing needs of our customers or achieve market acceptance, any of which could materially adversely affect our business.
The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and new product introductions and enhancements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in enhancing our current and planned video solutions and real-time products or developing, manufacturing and marketing new products that satisfy customer needs or achieve market acceptance. In addition, services, products or technologies developed by others may render one or more of our products or technologies uncompetitive, unmarketable or obsolete. Future technological advances may result in the availability of new products and services that could compete with our solutions or reduce the cost of existing products or services. Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products, including development of new applications for our technology, and to develop and introduce new products to meet and adapt to changing customer requirements and emerging technologies. Further, announcements of currently planned or other new product offerings by our competitors may cause customers to defer purchase decisions or to fail to purchase our existing solutions. Our failure to respond to rapidly changing technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The introduction of broadband Internet video services for televisions may gain traction, thus replacing current VOD services and causing a negative impact on Concurrent's VOD revenue.
We believe a number of well-funded companies such as Amazon, Apple, Hulu, Google, Netflix, and Yahoo are capable of delivering Internet video services for home television viewing. If these products are developed, successfully deployed and embraced by consumers, our customers may discontinue purchases of our video products.
We have experienced competitive pricing pressure for our products and services and expect to continue to experience this pressure. As this continues it may impact our revenue and call into question our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.
Our industry has historically experienced a decrease in average selling prices. We anticipate that the average selling prices of our products will continue to decrease in the future in response to competitive pricing pressures, increased sales discounts and new product introductions by our competitors. We may experience substantial decreases in future operating results due to a decrease of our average selling prices. We also anticipate that our gross margins will fluctuate from period to period as a result of the mix of products we sell in any given period. If our sales of lower margin products significantly expand in future quarterly periods, our overall gross margin levels and operating results would be adversely impacted.
We incurred net losses in the past and may incur further losses in the future.
We incurred net losses of $2.9, $3.3, $1.0, $14.5 and $12.2 million in fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2007, respectively. Our $14.5 million net loss in fiscal 2009 included a one-time $17.1 million non-cash impairment of intangibles. As of June 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $179.4 million. We may incur additional net losses in the future.
We have taken and continue to take measures to address the variability in the market for our products and services, which could have long-term negative effects on our business or impact our ability to adequately address an increase in customer demand.
We have taken and continue to take measures to address the variability in the market for our products and services, to increase average revenue per unit of our sales and to reduce our operating expenses, rationalize capital expenditure and minimize customer turnover. These measures included dramatic reductions to our workforce and implementing other cost reduction programs in fiscal year 2012. We cannot ensure that the measures we have taken will not impair our ability to effectively develop and market products and services, to remain competitive in the industries in which we compete, to operate effectively, to operate profitably during slowdowns or to effectively meet a rapid increase in customer demand. These measures may have long-term negative effects on our business by reducing our pool of technical and operational talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in our products and services, making it more difficult to hire and retain talented individuals and to quickly respond to customers or competitors in an upward cycle.

If we are unable to manage change in our operations effectively, our business may be harmed through a diminished ability to monitor and control effectively our operations, and a decrease in the quality of work and innovation of our employees.
Our ability to successfully offer new products and services and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management. In light of the growing complexities in managing our portfolio of products and services, our anticipated future operations may strain our technical, operational and administrative resources. A failure to manage changes in our volume of business may harm our business through a decreased ability to monitor and control effectively our operations, and a decrease in the quality of products and innovation of our employees upon which our business is dependent. If we fail to meet customers' supply expectations, our revenue would be adversely affected and we may lose business, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
Any weaknesses identified in our system of internal controls by us and our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have an adverse effect on our business .
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that companies evaluate and report on their systems of internal control over financial reporting. In future periods, we may identify deficiencies in our system of internal controls over financial reporting that may require remediation. There can be no assurances that any such future deficiencies identified may not be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that would be required to be reported in future periods.
We may face risks associated with the trend of increased shareholder activism .
Publicly traded companies have increasingly become subject to campaigns by investors seeking to increase short-term shareholder value by advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases or even sales of assets or the entire company. Given the Company's market capitalization and other factors, it is possible that shareholders may in the future attempt to effect such changes or acquire control over the Company. Responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist shareholders would be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
We utilize open source software, which could enable our competitors to gain access to our source code and distribute it without paying any license fee to us.
Key components of both our real-time and video solutions products utilize open source software on Linux platforms. Some open source software, especially that provided under the GNU Public License, is provided pursuant to licenses that limit the restrictions that may be placed on the distribution and copying of the provided code. Thus, it is possible that customers or competitors could copy portions of our software and freely distribute it. This could substantially impact our business and our ability to protect our products and future business.
We rely on a combination of contracts and copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed or we could be required to incur expenses to enforce our rights. Our business could also be adversely affected if we are found to be infringing on the intellectual property of others.
We typically enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants, customers and vendors, in an effort to control access to and distribution of our proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary technology without authorization. The steps we take may not prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property, and the agreements we enter into may not be enforceable. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries.
Other companies, such as Pragmatus VOD LLC, Olympic Developments AG, LLC, and our competitors, may currently own or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that might prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products. Further, we have indemnification obligations with numerous customers that could require us to become involved in intellectual property litigation. As a result, we may be found to be infringing on the intellectual property rights of others. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us or against a customer to which we have an indemnification obligation, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
14
Table of Contents
Any litigation or claims brought against us, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. Intellectual property litigation or claims brought against us could force us to do one or more of the following:
| · | cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; |
| · | obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; and |
| · | redesign products or services that incorporate the disputed technology. |
If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, we could face substantial costs and our business could be seriously harmed. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed.
In addition, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties in the future for infringement of our proprietary rights or to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of competitors. These claims could result in costly litigation and the diversion of our technical and management personnel and there can be no guarantee of success in any such action. As a result, our operating results could suffer and our financial condition could be harmed.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, which would adversely affect our business.
The markets for video solutions and real-time products are extremely competitive. Our competitors include divisions of larger public companies with an established presence in the industry. Further, as we expand our product offerings to additional delivery devices, we encounter a different set of competitors. This intense competition has negatively impacted our video solutions revenues and may severely impact our success and ability to earn additional revenue through expanding our video solutions offerings.
In addition to competing against large, established video delivery product providers, our media data intelligence products are seeing competition by internally-developed solutions.
The market for our real-time products is ever changing. We face a number of well-funded competitors who could displace us. As demand shifts, we may be unable to adequately respond to customer demands or technology changes. There may be new entrants into the real-time market with better, more appropriate products. We may also experience decreasing prices for our products and services due to competition, the purchasing leverage of our customers and other factors.
A list of the primary competitors we face in both of our markets and a categorization of our competitors is included under the Competition heading in the Business section in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Future issuances or repurchases of our equity, or transfers of our equity by third parties, may impair our future ability to use a substantial amount of our existing net operating loss carryforwards.
From time to time we complete an analysis of the ownership changes in our stock pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Service tax code. As of June 30, 2012 the ownership change was 38.0%, compared to 29.7% as of June 30, 2011. Future transactions and the timing of such transactions could cause an additional ownership change for Section 382 income tax purposes. Section 382 limits the ability of a company that undergoes an "ownership change," which is generally defined as any change in ownership of more than 50% of its common stock over a three-year period, to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and certain built-in losses or deductions, as of the ownership change date, that are recognized during the five-year period after the ownership change. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, additional repurchases or issuances of common stock, or acquisitions or sales of shares of Concurrent stock by certain holders of our shares, including persons who have held, currently hold or may accumulate in the future five percent or more of our outstanding common stock for their own account. Most of these transactions are beyond our control. If an additional ownership change were to occur for purposes of Section 382, we would be required to calculate a new annual restriction on the use of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income. We could lose all or a substantial part of the benefit of our accumulated net operating loss carryforwards.

We have a significant base of deployed video solutions products that our customers, over time, may decide to replace for products from other companies.
A significant number of our on-demand products have been deployed for several years and may be replaced with newer products. When our customers evaluate replacing those older products, they may choose to try a different vendor. If that were to occur, we would lose future revenue opportunities from expansion as well as maintenance.
Continuing uncertainties in the domestic and global economies may reduce demand for our products and services.
The lack of meaningful recovery in the domestic and global economy may negatively affect our operating results. The uncertainty in economic conditions in many of our markets may impact demand for our products and render budgeting and forecasting difficult. The difficulty in forecasting demand increases the difficulty in anticipating our inventory requirements, which may cause us to over-produce finished goods, resulting in inventory write-offs, or under-produce finished goods, affecting our ability to meet customer requirements.
Our operating results may vary based on changes in our customers' capital expenditures caused by uncertain conditions in the domestic and global economy. We sell our solutions primarily to large organizations whose businesses fluctuate with general economic and business conditions. As a result, decreased demand for our solutions and services caused by a weakening global economy may cause a decline in our revenue. Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in corporate spending. In the future, potential customers may decide to reduce their budgets for capital expenditures by deferring or reconsidering product purchases, which would negatively impact our operating results.
In some cases, we rely on a limited number of suppliers, which entails several risks, including the possibility of defective parts, a shortage of components, an increase in component costs, and reduced control over delivery schedules.
We sometimes purchase product components from a single supplier in order to obtain the required technology and the most favorable price and delivery terms. These components include systems, system boards, memory, CPUs, mother boards, storage devices, software, and chassis. We purchase product components from the following suppliers: Dell, Xyratex, Qlogic, Dot Hill, STEC, Curtis-Wright, Oracle, Kardios, KMA Systems, Supermicro, GE Fanuc, Data Device Corporation, Seagate, Western Digital, Myricom, and North Atlantic Industries. In most cases, comparable products are available from other sources, but would require significant reengineering to conform to our system specifications. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, Dot Hill Systems Corporation was the only single-source supplier accounting for 10% or more of these purchases. Single-source suppliers accounting for 10% or more of these purchases during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were Xyratex and Dell.
Our reliance on single suppliers entails a number of risks, including the possibility of defective parts, a shortage of components, increase in components costs, and reduced control over delivery schedules. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We estimate that a lead-time of 16-24 weeks may be necessary to switch to an alternative supplier of certain custom application specific integrated circuit and printed circuit assemblies. A change in the supplier of these components, without the appropriate lead-time, could result in a material delay in shipments by us of certain products. Where alternative sources are available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies of components from such sources may also result in delays. Shipping delays may also result in a delay in revenue recognition, possibly outside the fiscal year period originally planned, and, as a result, may adversely affect our financial results for that particular period.

A large number of our maintenance contracts are for legacy systems that are aging and may be replaced.
A large percentage of the services we provide are to customers who run our legacy hardware and systems. Over time, these systems will be replaced and the customers may not choose to purchase replacement systems from us. In such a case, our service revenue will be materially negatively impacted.
Sales to international customers accounted for approximately 50%, 40% and 34% of our revenue in fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Accordingly, our business is susceptible to numerous risks associated with international operations.
We are subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that could increase our costs, lengthen our sales cycle and require significant management attention. These risks include:
| · | compliance with, and unexpected changes in, regulatory requirements resulting in unanticipated costs and delays; |
| · | difficulties in compliance with export and re-export regulations governing U.S. goods and goods from our international subsidiaries; |
| · | lack of availability of trained personnel in international locations; |
| · | challenges in dealing with international channel partners; |
| · | tariffs, export controls and other trade barriers; |
| · | longer accounts receivable payment cycles than in the United States; |
| · | potential difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables in some foreign legal systems; |
| · | potential difficulty in enforcing intellectual property rights in certain foreign countries; |
| · | potentially adverse tax consequences, including restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; |
| · | the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; |
| · | general economic and political conditions in international markets; and |
| · | currency exchange rate fluctuations. |
Our efforts to maintain channels to market and sell our products internationally may not be successful.
Our international sales are supported by a combination of direct sales in certain international locations and indirect channel sales through distributor and reseller arrangements with third parties in others. We may not be able to maintain productive reseller and/or distribution agreements and/or may not be able to successfully manage these sales channels. In addition, many of our resellers also sell products from other vendors that compete with our products and may choose to focus on products of those vendors. Additionally, our ability to utilize an indirect sales model in these international markets will depend on our ability to qualify and train those resellers to perform product installations and to provide customer support. If we fail to develop and cultivate relationships with significant resellers, or if these resellers do not succeed in their sales efforts (whether because they are unable to provide support or otherwise), we may be unable to grow or sustain our revenue in international markets.

We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could negatively impact our financial results and cash flows.
To date, most of our revenues have been denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our international expenses are incurred in the local currencies of countries in which we operate. Because a portion of our business is conducted outside the United States, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve, and they could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows. An increase in the value of the dollar could increase the real cost to our customers of our products in those markets outside the United States where we often sell in dollars, and a weakened dollar could increase local currency operating costs. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, certain financial information is required to be translated from foreign currencies to the United States dollar using either the spot rate or the weighted-average exchange rate. If the United States dollar changes relative to applicable local currencies, there is a risk our reported sales, operating expenses, and net income could significantly fluctuate. We are not able to predict the degree of exchange rate fluctuations, nor can we estimate the effect any future fluctuations may have upon our future operations.
Our ability to enforce our rights to our intellectual property in certain countries is uncertain and may impact our ability to make sales.
We protect our intellectual property through confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with employees, partners and customers, as well as availing ourselves of the protections under intellectual property laws. In certain countries, our ability to assert our interests in our intellectual property is not certain. Our revenues may be impacted if our intellectual property is copied or otherwise misappropriated and we are not able to successfully assert our rights over our intellectual property. We may be unable to make sales if our intellectual property is copied; we may face increased competition if our trade secrets are disclosed; our reputation may be negatively impacted if our company or product names are misused.
Product failures or interruptions could cause delays in shipments, require design modifications or field replacement, which may have a negative impact on our business and damage our reputation and customer relationships.
Product failures may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Despite our own testing and testing by current and potential customers, all errors or failures may not be found in our products prior to being deployed or, if discovered, successfully corrected in a timely manner. These errors or failures could cause delays in product introductions and shipments or require design modifications that could adversely affect our competitive position. Further, some errors may not be detected until the systems are deployed. In such a case, we may have to undertake substantial field replacement programs to correct the problem. Our reputation may also suffer if our customers view our products as unreliable, whether based on actual or perceived errors or failures in our products.
In addition, a defect, error or performance problem with our video products could cause our customers' offerings to fail for a period of time or be degraded. Any such failure would cause customer service and public relations problems for our customers. As a result, we could experience delayed or lost revenue due to adverse customer reaction, negative publicity regarding us and our products and services and claims for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for such failure. Any claim could be expensive and require us to spend a significant amount of resources. In circumstances where third party technology incorporated with or in our systems includes a defect, error or performance problem or fails for any reason, we may have to replace such third party technology at our expense and be responsible to our customers for their corresponding claims. Such tasks could be expensive and could require us to spend a significant amount of resources.
Trends in our business may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate; therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful.
We have experienced significant variations in the revenue, expenses and operating results from quarter to quarter in our business, and it is likely that these variations will continue. We believe that fluctuations in the number of orders for our products being placed from quarter to quarter are principally attributable to the buying patterns and budgeting cycles of our customers. In addition, sales cycles associated with the purchase of many of our products are typically lengthy and orders are often not finalized until the end of a quarter. As a result, our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and will likely continue to fluctuate in accordance with this purchasing activity. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful. In addition, because these factors are difficult for us to forecast, our business, financial condition and results of operations for one quarter or a series of quarters may be adversely affected and below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could result in material declines of our stock price.

Our business may be adversely affected if we fail to retain our current key personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace, or fail to attract additional qualified personnel.
Our future performance depends on the continued service of our senior management and our engineering, sales and marketing and manufacturing personnel. In the last eighteen months, we have experienced turnover in our research and development organization at a higher rate than we have in prior periods. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we may fail to retain our key employees or to attract or retain other highly qualified personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of our personnel could seriously impact our business, especially the loss of highly specialized technical personnel. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, hire, train and retain highly skilled managerial, technical, sales, marketing and customer support personnel. In addition, new employees frequently require extensive training before they achieve desired levels of productivity. We do not carry key person life insurance on any of our employees.
As our products age, we may not be able to purchase necessary parts to support legacy systems currently deployed or to be deployed.
With the passage of time, suppliers of essential parts may stop producing these parts. In such cases, we may be required to redesign our products to accommodate the obsolescence. If that occurs, we will have to spend considerable effort in the redesign and, in some cases, may be forced to have the redesigned products requalified. Requalification may take several months, thereby delaying expected revenue.
We could be exposed to legal liability if our products were used to violate copyright laws.
Our products enable recording, storing, and delivering video over commercial broadband networks. Thus, our customers could use our products without first obtaining permission from content owners to record and deliver copyrighted video. In such a situation, we could face liability in that our products enabled or assisted in breaching copyright laws.
If content providers, such as movie studios, limit the scope of content licensed for use in the digital video market, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected because the potential market for our products would be more limited than we currently believe.
The success of the video market is contingent on content providers, such as movie studios, continuing to permit their content to be licensed for distribution in this market. Content providers may, due to concerns regarding marketing or illegal duplication of the content, limit the extent to which they provide content to the markets served by our customers and potential customers. A limitation of available content would indirectly limit the demand for our video systems.
Our facilities, especially our Pompano Beach, Florida facility, could be subject to severe weather that could shut down those facilities and halt production.
All of our facilities are, from time to time, subject to severe weather that could result in a temporary shut-down of the impacted facility. However, our Pompano Beach, Florida facility is located in south Florida where there is a high risk of hurricanes. A hurricane could shut-down the Pompano Beach facility for extended periods thereby making it impossible for us to manufacture and ship real-time products. Further, an extended shut-down could slow the release of software products for our real-time business since almost all the developers for those products are located at that facility.

We may engage in future acquisitions that dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities or present other challenges, such as integration issues, for our business, which if not successfully resolved would adversely affect our business.
As part of our business strategy, we review acquisition prospects that would complement our current product offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. We periodically review investments in new businesses, and we may acquire businesses, products or technologies in the future. In the event of any future acquisitions, we could issue equity securities that would dilute current stockholders' percentage ownership, incur substantial debt, or assume contingent liabilities. These actions could materially adversely affect our operating results. Acquisitions also entail numerous risks, including:
| · | difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations, technologies or services; |
| · | unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition; |
| · | diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; |
| · | adverse effects on existing business relationships; |
| · | risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and |
| · | potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. |
We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully integrate any business, products, technologies or personnel that we might acquire in the future. Our failure to do so could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Floods in Thailand during October 2011 could affect our supply chain, revenues and gross profit margins.
The October 2011 floods in Thailand have impaired the supply chain from component suppliers to PC and server makers. This created a shortage of hardware components and increased prices for available hardware throughout fiscal year 2012. In addition, possible additional price increases may be passed on to us. Our ability to produce and deliver products to our customers, as well as our revenues and profitability, could be materially adversely affected.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by the current sovereign debt crisis in Europe and elsewhere and by related global economic conditions.
The current European debt crisis and related European financial restructuring efforts may cause the value of the European currencies, including the euro, to further deteriorate, thus reducing the purchasing power of our European customers. One potential outcome of the European financial situation is the re-introduction of individual currencies in one or more Eurozone countries or the dissolution of the euro entirely. Should the euro dissolve entirely, the legal and contractual consequences for holders of euro-denominated obligations would be determined by laws in effect at such time. The potential dissolution of the euro, or market perceptions concerning this and related issues, could adversely affect the value of our euro-denominated assets and obligations. In addition, the European crisis is contributing to instability in global credit markets. The world has recently experienced a global macroeconomic downturn, and if global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in Europe, the United States or other key markets, remain uncertain, persist, or deteriorate further, consumer purchasing power and demand our products could decline, and we may experience material adverse impacts on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights.
Protecting our global intellectual property rights and combating unlicensed copying and use of software and other intellectual property is difficult. While piracy may adversely affect U.S. revenue, the impact on revenue from outside the U.S. is likely to be more significant, particularly in countries where laws are less protective of intellectual property rights. Similarly, the absence of harmonized patent laws makes it more difficult to ensure consistent respect for patent rights, making enforcement more difficult. Reductions in the legal protection for software intellectual property rights could adversely affect revenue.

Risks Related to Our Industries
The success of our business is dependent upon the success of our multi-screen strategy and the growth in the video delivery market, which may not grow as we expect. Any failure by the market to accept and adopt video delivery in a way that aligns with our stated strategy will have a material adverse effect on our business.
We believe that the business model that will support widespread multi-screen adoption of video delivery is still evolving. The potential size of the market and timing of market development is uncertain. We believe our success in these new markets will also depend on the adoption of an advertising based business model by key industry participants and our ability to offer the mix of products that allow these participants to introduce offerings which will support that model.
Our business is subject to governmental regulation. Any finding that we have been or are currently in noncompliance with such laws could result in, among other things, governmental penalties or class action lawsuits. Further, changes in existing laws or new laws may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to various international, U.S. federal, state and local laws affecting our video solutions and real-time product lines. The television industry is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and other countries. Our video solutions revenue is dependent upon the continued growth of the digital television industry in the United States and internationally. Broadband companies are subject to extensive government regulation by the FCC and other federal and state regulatory agencies. The 1984 Cable Act, which amended the Communications Act of 1934, established policies in the areas of ownership, channel usage, franchise provisions and renewals, subscriber rates and privacy, obscenity and lockboxes, unauthorized reception of services, equal employment opportunity, and pole attachments. The 1984 Cable Act also defined jurisdictional boundaries among federal, state and local authorities for regulating cable television systems which, among other provisions, allow for expanded regulatory powers when domestic cable penetration exceeds a threshold of 70% of U.S. households. Additional regulations could have the effect of limiting capital expenditures by our customers and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we were found to be, or believed to be non-compliant with privacy laws, we could face substantial exposure to government fines or privacy litigation. This risk is especially important for our Media Data Intelligence solutions since these products monitor set-top-box functions that could be impacted by privacy law protections. Additionally, regulations could have the effect of limiting capital expenditures by broadband companies and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The enactment by federal, state or international governments of new laws or regulations could adversely affect our customers, and thereby materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our real-time revenue is also subject to strict government regulation as the result of the government work we do. The regulations deal with security clearances, privacy, employment practices, pricing, purchasing, intellectual property and integrity. If we were ever found in violation or if out of tolerance, our production and resultant revenues could be halted or significantly delayed.
We may be subject to liability if private information supplied to our customers is misused.
Our video solutions allow companies to collect and store data that many viewers may consider confidential. Unauthorized access or use of this information could result in liability to our customers, and potentially us, and might deter potential on-demand viewers. We have no control over the policy of our customers with respect to the access to this data and the release of this data to third parties.
Other Risks
Fluctuations in our future effective tax rates could affect our future operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
We are required to periodically review our deferred tax assets and determine whether, based on available evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. Accordingly, we have performed such evaluation, from time to time, based on historical evidence, trends in profitability, expectations of future taxable income and implemented tax planning strategies. Further, although we benefit from net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S., we do not have such net operating losses outside the U.S., exposing us to tax liabilities in various countries.
21
Table of Contents
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. In the event we determine that it is appropriate to create a reserve or increase an existing reserve for any such potential liabilities, the amount of the additional reserve is charged as an expense in the period in which it is determined. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate tax assessment for the applicable period, a further charge to expense in the period such short fall is determined would result. Either such charge to expense could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations for the applicable period.
We have implemented certain anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.
Provisions of Delaware law and our restated certificate of incorporation, and amended and restated bylaws, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.
We are subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover laws regulating corporate takeovers. These anti-takeover laws prevent a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination involving a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets with any stockholder, including affiliates and associates of the stockholder, who owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock, for three years following the date that the stockholder acquired 15% or more of the corporation's stock except under limited circumstances.
There are provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws that also may delay, deter or impede hostile takeovers or changes of control.
Our stock price has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future.
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, the high and low prices reported on the NASDAQ Global Market were $6.51 and $3.21, respectively. Further, as of August 22, 2012, the closing price as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market was $4.45. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in the future in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, among others:
| · | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| · | changes in securities analysts' estimates of our financial performance; |
| · | the development of the multi-screen video market in general; |
| · | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| · | announcement by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| · | loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions; |
| · | suspension, reduction or cancellation of the quarterly dividend; and |
| · | additions or departures of key personnel. |
In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Global Market and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies' common stock. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation is often expensive and diverts management's attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A sustained period of low stock price brings with it a risk that our stock will not comply with the minimum trading-price rules of the NASDAQ Global Market, and may be subject to delisting, thus significantly impacting the liquidity of our stock and our access to public capital.

Item 7. Management 's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto, which appear elsewhere herein. Except for the historical financial information, many of the matters discussed in this Item 7 may be considered "forward-looking" statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below, elsewhere herein, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors, and in other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We provide software, hardware and professional services for the video market and the high-performance, real-time market. Our business is comprised of two operating segments for financial reporting purposes, products and services, which we provide for each of these markets.
Our video solutions consist of software, hardware, and services for intelligently streaming video and collecting and analyzing media data. Our video solutions and services are deployed by video service providers for distribution of video to consumers and collection of media data intelligence to manage their video business and operations.
25
Table of Contents
Our real-time products consist of real-time Linux operating system versions, development tools and other system software combined, in most cases, with computer platforms and services. These products are sold to a wide variety of companies seeking high-performance, real-time computer solutions in the military, aerospace, financial and automotive markets around the world.
Our sales model for MDI products includes the option for customers to purchase: (1) a perpetual license with maintenance; (2) a term license with maintenance and managed services; or (3) software as a service. We expect that revenue from these sales generally will be recognized over the term of the various customer contracts. See our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in footnote 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We have been reviewing all areas of our operations so that we may improve performance, efficiency and profitability. During our fiscal 2012 we reduced our sales, research and development, and services operations, and as a result, eliminated approximately 50 positions. We implemented most of these changes during the second half of our fiscal 2012. Actions included reductions in our support, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative staff, including certain management positions.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with no need for management's judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting an available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
We have identified the following as accounting policies critical to us:
Revenue Recognition and Related Matters
As described in footnotes 2 and 3 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, in September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("ASU 2009-13"). This guidance pertains to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, and accounting guidance on all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality. We adopted these new accounting standards on July 1, 2010, and we elected to apply the guidance on a prospective basis.
We generate revenue from the sale of products and services. We commence revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:
| 1) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
| 2) | the system has been shipped or the services have been performed, |
| 3) | the fee is fixed or determinable, and |
| 4) | collection of the fee is probable. |
Determination of criteria 3 and 4 above are based on our judgments regarding the fixed nature of the fee charged for products and services delivered and the collectibility of those fees.
26
Table of Contents
Our standard multiple-element contractual arrangements with our customers generally include the delivery of systems with multiple components of hardware and software, certain professional services that typically involve installation and consulting, and ongoing software and hardware maintenance. Product revenue is generally recognized when the product is delivered. Professional services that are of a consultative nature may take place prior to, or after, delivery of the system, and installation services typically occur within 90 days after delivery of the system. Professional services revenue is typically recognized as the service is performed. Initial warranty begins after delivery of the system and typically is provided for 90 days to two years after delivery. Maintenance revenue, where applicable, will be recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Our product sales are predominantly system sales whereby software and equipment function together to deliver the essential functionality of the combined product. Upon our adoption of ASU 2009-14 on July 1, 2010, we determined sales of these systems were typically outside of the scope of the software revenue guidance in Topic 985 (previously included in SOP 97-2) and be accounted for under ASU 2009-13.
Our sales model for MDI products includes the option for customers to purchase: (1) a perpetual license with maintenance; (2) a term license with maintenance and managed services; or (3) software as a service. Professional services attributable to implementation of our products or managed services are essential to the customers' use of these products and services. We defer commencement of revenue recognition for the entire arrangement until we have delivered the essential professional services or have made a determination that the remaining professional services are no longer essential to the customer. We recognize revenue for managed service arrangements and software-as-a-service arrangements once we commence providing the managed or software services and recognize the service revenue ratably over the term of the various customer contracts. In circumstances whereby we sell a term license and managed services, we commence revenue recognition after both the software and service are made available to the customer and recognize the revenue from the entire arrangement ratably over the longer of the term license or managed service period.
We evaluate each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. An element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when the delivered item has standalone value and delivery of the undelivered element is probable and within our control. Our various systems have standalone value because we have either routinely sold them on a standalone basis or we believe that our customers could resell the delivered system on a standalone basis. Professional services have standalone value because we have routinely sold them on a standalone basis and there are similar third-party vendors that routinely provide similar professional services. Our maintenance has standalone value because we have routinely sold maintenance separately.
In October 2009, the FASB amended the accounting standards for multiple-element revenue arrangements under ASU 2009-13 to:
| · | provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the elements in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; |
| · | require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling price ("ESP") of each element if a vendor does not have vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") or third party evidence ("TPE"); and |
| · | eliminate the use of the residual method and require a vendor to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. |
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, we allocate revenue to each element in an arrangement based on the following selling price hierarchy: the selling price for a deliverable is based on its VSOE, if available, TPE, if VSOE is not available, or ESP, if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. We have typically been able to establish VSOE of fair value for our maintenance and services. We determine VSOE of fair value for professional services and maintenance by examining the population of selling price for the same or similar services when sold separately and on a standalone basis, and determining that the pricing population for each VSOE classification is within a very narrow range of the median selling price. For each element, we evaluate at least annually whether or not we have maintained VSOE of fair value based on our review of the actual selling price of each element over the previous 12 month period.

Table of Contents
Our product deliverables are typically comprised of complete systems with numerous hardware and software components that operate together to provide essential functionality, and we are typically unable to establish VSOE or TPE of fair value for our products. Due to the custom nature of our products, we must determine ESP at the individual component level whereby our estimated selling price for the total system is determined based on the sum of the individual components. ESP for components of our real-time products is typically based upon list price, which is representative of our actual selling price. ESP for components of our video products are based upon our most frequent selling price ("mode") of standalone and bundled sales, based upon a 12 month historical analysis. If a mode selling price is not available, then ESP will be the median selling price of all such component sales based upon a 12 month historical analysis, unless facts and circumstances indicate that another selling price, other than the mode or median selling price, is more representative of our estimated selling price. Our methodology for determining estimated selling price requires judgment, and any changes to pricing practices, the costs incurred to manufacture products, the nature of our relationships with our customers, and market trends could cause variability in our estimated selling prices or cause us to re-evaluate our methodology for determining estimated selling price. We will update our analysis of mode and median selling price at least annually, unless facts and circumstances indicate that more frequent analysis is required.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is based on an analysis of our historical charge-off ratio, our aging of accounts receivable and our assessment of the collectibility of our receivables. If there is a deterioration of one of our major customer's credit worthiness or actual account defaults are higher than our historical trends, our reserve estimates could be adversely impacted.
Inventory Valuation
We provide for inventory obsolescence based upon assumptions about future demand, market conditions and anticipated timing of the release of next generation products. If actual market conditions or future demand are less favorable than those projected, or if next generation products are released earlier than anticipated, additional inventory write-downs may be required. We also review, on a quarterly basis, the value of inventory on hand for which a newer and more advanced technology or product is currently, or will soon be, available. When we believe that we will not be able to sell the products in inventory at or above cost, we mark the inventory down to market value.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. A current liability is recognized for the estimated taxes payable for the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the timing differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates or tax laws are recognized in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more-likely-than-not to be realized. To the extent we establish or change the valuation allowance in a period, the tax effect will generally flow through the statement of operations. In the case of an acquired or merged entity, we will record any valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset established through purchase accounting procedures as an adjustment to goodwill at the acquisition date. Any subsequent change to a valuation allowance established during purchase accounting that occurs within the measurement period of the acquisition (a period not to exceed twelve months) will also be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill, provided that such a change relates to new information about the facts and circumstances that existed on the acquisition date. All other changes to a valuation allowance established during purchase accounting will flow through the statement of operations.
The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related tax assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In spite of our belief that we have appropriate support for all the positions taken on our tax returns, we acknowledge that certain positions may be successfully challenged by the taxing authorities. Therefore, an accrual for uncertain tax positions is provided for, when necessary. In the event that we have accruals for uncertain tax positions, these accruals are reviewed quarterly and reversed upon being sustained under audit, the expiration of the statute of limitations, new information, or other determination by the taxing authorities. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions. Although we believe our recorded tax assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and inherent uncertainty; therefore our assessments can involve both a series of complex judgments about future events and rely on estimates and assumptions. Although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the final determination could be materially different than that which is reflected in our provision for income taxes and recorded tax assets and liabilities.
28
Table of Contents
In the calculation of our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an annual effective rate based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates. The tax (or benefit) applicable to significant unused or infrequently occurring items, discontinued operations or extraordinary items are separately recognized in the income tax provision in the quarter in which they occur.
Guarantees
We recognize the fair value of guarantee and indemnification arrangements issued or modified by us, if these arrangements are within the scope of the interpretation. In addition, we must continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to the guarantees and indemnifications, as required under previously existing GAAP, in order to identify if a loss has occurred. If we determine that it is probable that a loss has occurred, then any such estimable loss would be recognized under those guarantees and indemnifications. Under our standard software license, services and maintenance agreement, we often agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our licensees from and against certain losses, damages and costs arising from claims alleging the licensees' use of our software infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Historically, we have not been required to pay material amounts in connection with claims asserted under these provisions and, accordingly, we have not recorded a liability relating to such provisions.
Under our software license, services and maintenance agreement, we also represent and warrant to licensees that our software products will operate substantially in accordance with our published specifications regarding the product, and that the services we perform will be undertaken by qualified personnel in a professional manner conforming to generally accepted industry standards and practices. Historically, only minimal costs have been incurred relating to the satisfaction of product warranty claims.
Other guarantees include promises to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of our executive officers, non-employee directors and certain key employees from and against losses, damages and costs incurred by each such individual in administrative, legal or investigative proceedings arising from alleged wrongdoing by the individual while acting in good faith within the scope of his or her job duties on our behalf. Historically, minimal costs have been incurred relating to such indemnifications and, as such, no amount has been accrued for these guarantees.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and requires application of a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. Assumptions used to estimate compensation expense from issuance of share-based compensation are based, to some extent, on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent we issue additional share-based compensation, or assumptions regarding previously issued share-based compensation change, our future share-based compensation expense may be positively or negatively impacted.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
We maintain a defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") for certain current and a number of former employees of our German subsidiary. The Pension Plan provides benefits to be paid to all eligible employees at retirement based primarily on years of service with the Company and compensation rates in effect near retirement. Our German defined benefit plans have beenclosed to new employees since 1998 and no employees have been added to the plan since this time. Our policy is to fund benefits attributed to employees' services to date as well as service expected to be earned in the future. The determination of our Pension Plan benefit obligation and expense is dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the weighted average discount rate, the weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets and the weighted average rate of compensation increase. To the extent that these assumptions change, our future benefit obligation and net periodic pension expense may be positively or negatively impacted.

Results of Operations
We recognize revenue for product sales in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance as described in our critical accounting policies. We recognize revenue from customer service plans ratably over the term of each plan, which are typically between one and three years.
Custom engineering services are often completed within 90 days from receipt of an order. Revenues from these services are recognized upon completion and delivery of the product to the customer. In certain instances, our customers require significant customization of both the software and hardware products. In these situations, the services are considered essential to the functionality of the software and, therefore, the revenue from the arrangement, with the exception of maintenance, is recognized in conformity with accounting standards governing long term construction type contracts and performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts. If we are able to determine reasonable estimates of the cost of the arrangement, we record the value of the entire arrangement (excluding maintenance) as the project progresses based on actual costs incurred compared to the total costs expected to be incurred through completion. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the costs to complete the arrangement, all revenue is deferred until the contract is completed.
Cost of sales consists of the cost of the computer systems sold, including amortization of software development costs, labor, material, overhead and third party product costs. Cost of sales also includes the salaries, benefits and other costs of the maintenance, service and help desk personnel associated with product installation and support activities.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of the salaries, benefits, overhead, and travel expenses of employees responsible for acquiring new business and maintaining existing customer relationships, as well as marketing expenses related to trade publications, advertisements, trade shows and depreciation costs of demo equipment.
Research and development expenses are comprised of salaries, benefits, overhead, and travel expenses of employees involved in hardware and software product enhancement and development, cost of outside contractors engaged to perform quality assurance, hardware and software product enhancement and development. Development costs are expensed as incurred.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, overhead, and travel expenses of management and administrative personnel, human resources, information systems, insurance, investor relations, accounting and fees for legal, board of director expenses, and other professional services.

Product Revenue . Total product revenue for fiscal year 2012 was approximately $35.0 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 15.3%, from approximately $41.3 million in fiscal year 2011. The decrease in product revenue resulted in part, from the $4.3 million, or 22.4%, decrease in real-time product revenue in fiscal year 2012, compared to the prior year. This decrease in real-time product revenue was primarily due to a decrease in volume of iHawk and RedHawk Linux product sales to the military and other government programs in North America during fiscal year 2012, compared to the prior year.
In addition, video product revenue decreased by $2.0 million, or 9.0% during fiscal year 2012, compared to the prior fiscal year. We experienced a $4.3 million decrease in video product sales in North America due to lower video system and storage sales volume during the fiscal year 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. We have experienced more than a 42% decrease in revenue from our two largest North American video customers during our fiscal year 2012 due to lower spending by these customers, compared to the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting the decrease in domestic video product sales, we experienced a $2.5 million increase in video product sales in our Asia/Pacific market during fiscal year 2012 resulting from delivery of expansion video systems and storage to our largest Japanese cable customer during fiscal year 2012. This Japanese video customer represented 49% of total video product revenue during fiscal year 2012. Fluctuation in video revenue is often due to the fact that we have a small number of customers making periodic large purchases that account for a significant percentage of revenue.

Service Revenue. Total service revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $25.3 million, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 0.8%, from $25.5 million in fiscal year 2011. The decrease in service revenue was due to a $0.4 million, or 2.6%, decrease in service revenue related to our video solutions product line, primarily due to the termination of a maintenance contract for our MDI products.
Product Gross Margin. Product gross margin was $21.3 million in fiscal year 2012, a decrease of approximately $2.6 million, or 10.8%, from $23.9 million in fiscal year 2011. Product gross margin as a percentage of product revenue increased to 60.8% in fiscal year 2012 from 57.8% in fiscal year 2011. Product margins decreased in terms of dollars due to lower product revenue during the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the prior year. Product gross margin, as a percentage of product revenue, increased primarily due to: (1) higher margin video solution software comprised a larger percentage of our fiscal 2012 product revenue, (2) the mix of video products sold to overseas customers during the current period yielded higher margins than the prior year, and (3) in the prior year period, we recognized revenue on a non-recurring, large custom video product deliverable that we completed for one of our largest North American video customers that generated product margins lower than we have recently earned from our sale of video products.
Service Gross Margin . Gross margin on service revenue increased to 53.2% of fiscal year 2012 service revenue for from 53.1% of service fiscal year 2011 service revenue. The increase in service margin as a percentage of service revenue was primarily due to a $0.1 million, or 0.9% decrease in fiscal year 2012 service cost of sales, relative to fiscal year 2011. Decreasing service costs resulted from decreasing support staff costs, as we have focused on managing costs of the infrastructure that is necessary to fulfill service and support for some of our real-time legacy products as well as our MDI products.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 6.3% to $16.3 million in fiscal year 2012 from approximately $17.3 million in fiscal year 2011. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.6 million due to the impact of lower current year revenue on commission, bonus and performance-based restricted stock compensation arrangements. Additionally, reductions in force and other changes in our sales and marketing workforce during our fiscal year 2012 resulted in a $0.5 million reduction in sales and marketing personnel costs, relative to the prior fiscal year.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 6.9%, to approximately $13.2 million in fiscal year 2012 from $14.1 million in fiscal year 2011. Research and development expenses decreased by $1.9 million resulting from reduction in development staff, mandatory vacations during the holidays, lower incentive compensation expense due to lower revenue in the current year, and the non-recurrence of a purchase of developed technology in the prior year that had not reached technological feasibility and, at the time of purchase, was recorded to prior year research and development expenses. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in costs recorded to development expense due to lower current year capitalization of certain costs for customized products. For certain orders that require customization, development staff may be used to work directly on these orders and their related costs are capitalized. This difference in expense classification resulted from the aforementioned product revenue from the prior year completion of a custom product delivered to one of our traditionally largest domestic customers that did not recur in the current year period. Furthermore, our reductions in workforce resulted in an additional $0.1 million in research and development severance charges in fiscal year 2012, as compared to fiscal year 2011.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.3 million, or 14.7%, to approximately $7.4 million in fiscal year 2012 from $8.6 million in fiscal year 2011. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million due to the impact of lower current year revenue on bonus and performance-based restricted stock compensation arrangements. Furthermore, a reduction in our workforce and mandatory vacations during the holidays in fiscal year 2012 resulted in an additional $0.5 million reduction of general administrative expenses, compared to fiscal year 2011.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense for our domestic and foreign subsidiaries of $0.7 million in fiscal year 2012, compared to income tax expense of $0.5 million in fiscal year 2011. Our tax provision in fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was primarily attributable to income earned in Japan that cannot be offset by U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and that is subject to an approximately 56% effective tax rate in fiscal 2012 and to an approximately 49% effective tax rate in fiscal 2011. We have net operating loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income in the United States and in many of the foreign locations in which we operate, but we do not have net operating loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income in Japan. We have established a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our net operating loss carryforwards, as we have determined that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Net Loss. Net loss for fiscal year 2012 was ($2.9) million or ($0.34) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss for fiscal year 2011 of ($3.3) million, or ($0.39) per basic and diluted share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is dependent upon many factors, including sales volume, product and service costs, operating results and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. Our future liquidity will be affected by, among other things:
| · | the rate of growth or decline or change in market, if any, of video solutions market expansions and the pace that video service companies implement, upgrade or replace video solutions technology; |
| · | the impact of the global economic conditions on our business and our customers; |
| · | the impact of the Thailand floods on our supplies, cost of hardware components, and our ability to produce and deliver products to our customers; |
| · | the rate of growth or decline, if any, of deployment of our real-time operating systems and tools; |
| · | the actual versus anticipated decline in revenue from maintenance and product sales of real-time proprietary systems; |
| · | our ability to manage expenses consistent with the rate of growth or decline in our markets; |
| · | ongoing cost control actions and expenses, including capital expenditures; |
| · | the margins on our product and service sales; |
| · | timing of product shipments, which typically occur during the last month of the quarter; |
| · | our reliance on a small customer base (three customers accounted for 37% of our revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, of which one was a Japanese customer that accounted for 20%, and three customers accounted for 32% of our revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011); |
| · | the percentage of sales derived from outside the United States where there are generally longer accounts receivable collection cycles; |
| · | the number of countries in which we operate, which may require maintenance of minimum cash levels in each country and, in certain cases, may restrict the repatriation of cash, by requiring us to maintain levels of capital; and |
| · | the rate of growth or decline, if any, of sales to the government and government related entities |
Uses and Sources of Cash
34
Table of Contents
We invested $2.2 million in short-term investments in fiscal year 2012, compared to a net investment of $5.5 million in fiscal year 2011. During fiscal year 2012, we liquidated the $7.6 million balance of short-term investments and returned the proceeds to cash, as the yield on these investments in the current market did not justify the costs of maintaining the investment accounts and the costs of fair value audit and disclosure required for these investments. Prior to liquidation, our short-term investments during both fiscal years consisted of highly liquid commercial paper, agency bonds, and corporate bonds. Additionally, our short-term investments in both fiscal years had original maturities of more than three months, but no more than twelve months.
We invested $2.0 million in property, plant and equipment during both fiscal years 2012 and 2011. Capital additions during each year were primarily related to development and test equipment for our development group and demonstration systems used by our sales and marketing group.
We have a $10.0 million credit line (the "Revolver") with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank") that matures on December 31, 2013. Advances against the Revolver bear interest on the outstanding principal at a rate per annum equal to the greater of 4.0% or either: (1) the prime rate, or (2) the LIBOR rate plus a LIBOR rate margin of 2.75%. We have borrowing availability of up to $10.0 million under this Revolver as long as we maintain cash at or through the Bank of $15.0 million or more. At all times that we maintain cash at or through the Bank of less than $15.0 million, the amount available for advance under the Revolver is calculated from a formula that is primarily based upon a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, which may result in less than, but no more than $10.0 million of availability.
The interest rate on the Revolver was 4.0% as of June 30, 2012. The outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest is payable in full at the expiration of the credit facility on December 31, 2013. Based on our cash balance at the Bank as of June 30, 2012, $10.0 million was available to us under the Revolver. As of both June 30, 2012 and 2011, $0 was drawn under the Revolver, and we did not draw against the Revolver during fiscal year 2012 or 2011.
Under the Revolver, we are obligated to maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $12.5 million as of the last day of each quarter, increasing by 100% of quarterly net income and 100% of issuances of equity, net of issuance costs, and a consolidated quick ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants as our adjusted quick ratio (cash, short-term investments and accounts receivable divided by current liabilities minus deferred revenue) was 6.47 to 1.00 and our tangible net worth (total assets minus total liabilities and intangible assets) was $27.4 million. The Revolver is secured by substantially all of the assets of Concurrent.
On July 30, 2012, we entered into a Waiver and Second Modification (the "Modification") to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The Modification permits us to make payments of quarterly cash dividends. We may pay quarterly cash dividends, as approved by our board of directors from time to time, so long as an Event of Default does not exist at the time of declaration or payment of any such cash dividend and would not exist after giving effect to such cash dividend, provided such cash dividends do not exceed an aggregate of $3.0 million per fiscal year.
On July 2, 2012 our board of directors approved a $0.06 dividend per share of common stock, excluding treasury and restricted stock. On July 31, 2012 we paid this dividend which amounted to $520,000 in total dividend payments. We intend to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common shares subject to, among other things, our results of operations, cash balances, future cash requirements, financial condition, statutory requirements of Delaware law, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators and suppliers that often require us to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to our products. We evaluate estimated losses for such indemnifications under ASC 460-20 and ASC 460-10-25. We consider factors such as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, we have not encountered material costs as a result of such obligations and have not accrued any material liabilities related to such indemnifications in our financial statements. See footnote 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the additional disclosures regarding indemnification.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IFRS Board (the "Boards") on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term "fair value." The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (our third fiscal 2012 quarter ended March 31, 2012). These amendments did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 , which defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. The effective dates of ASU 2011-12 are consistent with the effective dates of ASU 2011-05, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011(our first fiscal 2013 quarter ended September 30, 2012), with early adoption permitted. We have evaluated the impact of ASU No. 2011-12 and expect it will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations, other than presentation of comprehensive income.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Concurrent Computer Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Concurrent Computer Corporation
and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Concurrent Computer Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Concurrent and all wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Smaller Reporting Company
We meet the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") definition of a "Smaller Reporting Company", and therefore qualify for the SEC's scaled disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of all of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average rates of exchange prevailing during the fiscal year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, except for those relating to intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, which are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions of $(116,000), $129,000, and $(185,000) for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are included in "Other expense, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash balances and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value, and represent cash and cash invested in money market funds, commercial paper and corporate bonds.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments in commercial paper and corporate bonds with original maturities of between 90 days and 1 year. Our short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We reduce the recorded value of excess and obsolete inventory to its market value based upon historical and anticipated usage.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquired cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of assets ranging from one to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related lease. Gains and losses resulting from the disposition of property, plant and equipment are included in operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred and expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Revenue Recognition Policy
We generate revenue from the sale of products and services. We commence revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:
| · | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
| · | the system has been shipped or the services have been performed, |
| · | the fee is fixed or determinable, and |
| · | collection of the fee is reasonably assured. |
Our standard multiple-element contractual arrangements with our customers generally include the delivery of systems with multiple components of hardware and software, certain professional services that involve installation and consulting, and ongoing software and hardware maintenance. Product revenue is recognized when the product is delivered. Professional services that are of a consultative nature may take place prior to, or after, delivery of the system, and installation services typically occur within 90 days after delivery of the system. Professional services revenue is typically recognized as the service is performed. Initial warranty begins after delivery of the system and typically is provided for one to two years after delivery. Maintenance revenue, when applicable, will be recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Our product sales are predominantly system sales whereby software and equipment function together to deliver the essential functionality of the combined product. Upon our adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-14 on July 1, 2010, we determined sales of these systems were typically outside of the scope of the software revenue guidance in Topic 985 (previously included in Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2) and should be accounted for under ASU 2009-13.
Our sales model for MDI products includes the option for customers to purchase: (1) a perpetual license with maintenance; (2) a term license with maintenance and managed services; or (3) software as a service. Professional services attributable to implementation of our media data intelligence products or managed services are essential to the customers' use of these products and services. We defer commencement of revenue recognition for the entire arrangement until we have delivered the essential professional services or have made a determination that the remaining professional services are no longer essential to the customer. We recognize revenue for managed service arrangements and software-as-a-service arrangements once we commence providing the managed or software services and recognize the service revenue ratably over the term of the various customer contracts. In circumstances whereby we sell a term license and managed services, we commence revenue recognition after both the software and service are made available to the customer and recognize the revenue from the entire arrangement ratably over the longer of the term license or managed service period.
We evaluate each element in a multiple-element arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. An element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when the delivered item has standalone value and delivery of the undelivered element is probable and within our control. Our various systems have standalone value because we have either routinely sold them on a standalone basis or we believe that our customers could resell the delivered system on a standalone basis. Professional services have standalone value because we have routinely sold them on a standalone basis and there are similar third party vendors that routinely provide similar professional services. Our maintenance has standalone value because we have routinely sold maintenance separately.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended the accounting standards for multiple-element revenue arrangements under ASU 2009-13 to:
| · | provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the elements in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; |
| · | require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices ("ESP") of each element if a vendor does not have Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence ("VSOE") or Third-Party Evidence ("TPE"); and |
| · | eliminate the use of the residual method and require a vendor to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. |
We adopted this accounting guidance on July 1, 2010, and we elected to apply the guidance on a prospective basis for applicable arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after July 1, 2010.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, we were not able to establish VSOE or TPE for all of the elements of a revenue arrangement. As a result, prior to adoption of ASU 2009-13, revenue from multiple-element arrangements was allocated to each of the multiple elements and recognized as follows:
| · | For our typical multiple-element revenue arrangements, we had established VSOE or TPE for undelivered elements such as maintenance and services, but not for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement. For these arrangements, we recognized revenue using the residual method. Under the residual method, all revenue was deferred until all elements for which no VSOE or TPE was available, were delivered. Any discount was applied entirely to the value of the delivered element(s) and the total fair value of the undelivered element(s) was deferred, based upon VSOE or TPE. |
| · | Infrequently, we entered into multiple-element revenue arrangements whereby we had not established VSOE or TPE for undelivered elements. For these arrangements, we deferred all revenue until the service was completed, or if the only remaining deliverable for which we did not have VSOE or TPE was maintenance, we recognized the entire value of the arrangement ratably over the maintenance period. |
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, we allocate revenue to each element in an arrangement based on the following selling price hierarchy: the selling price for a deliverable is based on its VSOE, if available, TPE, if VSOE is not available, or ESP, if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. We have typically been able to establish VSOE of fair value for our maintenance and services. We determine VSOE of fair value for professional services and maintenance by examining the population of selling prices for the same or similar services when sold separately, and determining that the pricing population for each VSOE classification is within a very narrow range of the median selling price. For each element, we evaluate at least annually whether or not we have maintained VSOE of fair value based on our review of the actual selling price of each element over the previous 12 month period.
Our product deliverables are typically complete systems comprised of numerous hardware and software components that operate together to provide essential functionality, and we are typically unable to establish VSOE or TPE of fair value for our products. Due to the custom nature of our products, we must determine ESP at the individual component level whereby our estimated selling price for the total system is determined based on the sum of the individual components. ESP for components of our real-time products is typically based upon list price, which is representative of our actual selling price. ESP for components of our video products are based upon our most frequent selling price ("mode") of standalone and bundled sales, based upon a 12 month historical analysis. If a mode selling price is not available, then ESP will be the median selling price of all such component sales based upon a twelve month historical analysis, unless facts and circumstances indicate that another selling price, other than the mode or median selling price, is more representative of our estimated selling price. Our methodology for determining estimated selling price requires judgment, and any changes to pricing practices, the costs incurred to manufacture products, the nature of our relationships with our customers, and market trends could cause variability in our estimated selling prices or cause us to re-evaluate our methodology for determining estimated selling price. We will update our analysis of mode and median selling price at least annually, unless facts and circumstances indicate that more frequent analysis is required.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is based on an analysis of our historical charge-off ratio, our aging of accounts receivable and our assessment of the collectibility of our receivables. If there is a deterioration of one of our major customer's credit worthiness or actual account defaults are higher than our historical trends, our reserve estimates could be adversely impacted.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings for maintenance contracts and for products that are pending completion of the revenue recognition process. Maintenance revenue, whether bundled with the product or priced separately, is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. For contracts extending beyond one year, deferred revenue related to the contract period extending beyond twelve months is classified among long-term liabilities.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
We maintain a defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") for certain current and a number of former employees of our German subsidiary. The Pension Plan provides benefits to be paid to all eligible employees at retirement based primarily on years of service with Concurrent and compensation rates in effect near retirement. Our policy is to fund benefits attributed to employees' services to date as well as service expected to be earned in the future. The determination of our Pension Plan benefit obligation and expense is dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the weighted average discount rate, the weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets and the weighted average rate of compensation increase. To the extent that these assumptions change, our future benefit obligation and net periodic pension expense may be positively or negatively impacted.
Capitalized Software
We account for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20. Under ASC 985-20, the costs associated with software development are required to be capitalized after technological feasibility has been established. We cease capitalization upon the achievement of customer availability. Costs incurred by us between technological feasibility and the point at which the products are ready for market are generally insignificant and as a result we had minimal internal software development costs capitalized at June 30, 2012 and 2011. We have not incurred costs related to the development of internal use software.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares including dilutive common share equivalents. Under the treasury stock method, incremental shares representing the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued are included in the computation. Common share equivalents of 502,000, 901,000, and 904,000 for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were excluded from the calculation as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, other than indefinite lived intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we recognize an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value based on discounted cash flows. As a result of these evaluations, we have not recorded any impairment losses related to long-lived assets, for any of the years ending June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Fair Value Measurements
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") requires certain disclosures around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
● | Level 1 | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
● | Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
54

CONCURRENT COMPUTER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
● | Level 3 | Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates. |
During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, we liquidated our $7.6 million balance of short-term investments and returned the proceeds to cash, as the yield on these investments in the current market did not justify the costs of maintaining the investment accounts and the costs of fair value audit and disclosure required for these investments. We have money market funds that are highly liquid and have a maturity of three months or less, and as such are considered cash equivalents.
As of June 30, 2011 and during part of the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, our investment portfolio consisted of money market funds, commercial paper, agency bonds, and corporate bonds. Our investment portfolio had an average maturity of three months or less and no investments within the portfolio had an original maturity of one year or more. All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased were considered to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. All investments with original maturities of more than three months were classified as short-term investments. Our marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, were reported in stockholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Interest on securities was recorded in interest income. Any realized gains or losses have been shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in other income or expense. We provide fair value measurement disclosures of our available-for-sale securities in accordance with one of three levels of fair value measurement. Our Level 1 securities are measured using direct quotes from active markets. Level 2 securities are valued by a third party pricing provider that develops the valuation based on either quoted prices in inactive markets or utilizes quoted prices for similar debt in active markets. Management has obtained an understanding of the valuation methodology, inputs, and reviews valuations provided by third parties for reasonableness.
As of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, we did not have an outstanding balance on our bank line of credit. The average outstanding balance on our bank line of credit for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 was zero.

Income Taxes
Concurrent and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. All foreign subsidiaries file individual or consolidated tax returns pursuant to local tax laws. We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, tax credit carryforwards and operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in the Statement of Operations. We recognize stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of our stock compensation is accounted for as equity instruments.
Refer to Note 11 for assumptions used in calculation of fair value. As of June 30, 2012, total compensation costs related to unvested options and restricted stock not yet expensed was approximately $1,010,000.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as a change in equity during the financial reporting period of a business enterprise resulting from non-owner sources. Components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
Adopted
The FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the "Boards") on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term "fair value." The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (our third fiscal 2012 quarter ended March 31, 2012). These amendments did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Not yet adopted
The FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. In addition, ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 also requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statement reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively and is effective for public entities as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011 (our first fiscal 2013 quarter ended September 30, 2012). We have evaluated the impact of ASU 2011-05 and expect it will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 , which defers the requirement in ASU 2011-05 that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. The effective dates of ASU 2011-12 are consistent with the effective dates of ASU 2011-05, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (our first fiscal 2013 quarter ended September 30, 2012), with early adoption permitted. We have evaluated the impact of ASU No. 2011-12 and expect it will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations, other than presentation of comprehensive income.

The net deferred income tax asset of $933,000 is comprised of $765,000 of current deferred tax assets, net, and $168,000 of non-current deferred tax assets, net. As of June 30, 2012, we have U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $116,808,000 for income tax purposes, of which $18,623,000 expire in fiscal year 2013, and the remainder expires at various dates through 2032. We completed an evaluation of the potential effect of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code on our ability to utilize these net operating losses. The study concluded that we have not had an ownership change for the period from July 22, 1993 to June 30, 2012. Therefore, the U.S. Federal net operating losses will not be subject to limitation under Section 382.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
As of June 30, 2012, we have state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $64,125,000 and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $30,964,000. The state net operating losses expire between fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2032. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards expire according to the rules of each country, and with the exception of Spain, all have an indefinite carryforward period. Spanish net operating loss carryforwards will expire between fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2030. We have fully offset deferred tax assets related to both state and foreign net operating losses with a valuation allowance. We also have an alternative minimum tax credit for federal purposes of $207,000, which has an indefinite life, and a research and development credit carryforward for federal purposes of $140,000, which has a carryforward period of 20 years and will expire in fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
Of the $116,808,000 of aforementioned U.S. Federal Tax net operating loss carryforwards, $11,000,000 represents acquired net operating losses from the Everstream acquisition. We also acquired $254,000 in research and development credits in this transaction. The benefits associated with these Everstream losses and tax credits will likely be limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date of acquisition. We have fully offset the deferred tax assets related to these losses and credits with a valuation allowance.
Deferred income taxes have not been provided for undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because of our intent to reinvest them indefinitely in active foreign operations. Because of the availability of significant U.S. net operating losses, it is not practicable to determine the U.S. income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were repatriated. Deferred taxes are provided for the earnings of foreign subsidiaries when it becomes evident that we do not plan to permanently reinvest the earnings into active foreign operations. As of June 30, 2012, $2,148,000 of the $29,613,000 (on the consolidated balance sheet) of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2012, we have both the intent and the ability to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries
The valuation allowances for deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $54,340,000 and $54,792,000, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended June 30, 2012 was a decrease of approximately $452,000. This change consisted of a $1,118,000 increase due to the creation of deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2012, a $696,000 decrease due to expiration and true-ups of domestic net operating loss carryforwards, and an $18,000 increase due to miscellaneous true-ups of prior year deferred tax amounts. Additionally, there was an $892,000 decrease due to exchange rate changes and the effect of unrealized gains/losses, the effect of which was a component of equity.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed, we evaluate all available evidence, both positive and negative, including: trends in operating income or losses; currently available information about future years; future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; taxable income in prior carryback years if carryback is permitted under the tax law; and tax planning strategies that would accelerate taxable amounts in order to utilize expiring carryforwards, change the character of taxable and deductible amounts from ordinary income or loss to capital gain or loss, or switch from tax-exempt to taxable investments. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. With the exception of our deferred tax assets in Japan, we maintain valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions, since we consider it more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The amount of gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $154,000 of which all, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, we recognized approximately $15,000 of interest and less than $1,000 of penalties. We had approximately $199,000 and $184,000 of accrued interest at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had approximately $88,000 of accrued penalties as of both June 30, 2012 and 2011. We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. We believe that the amount of uncertain tax positions will not change by a significant amount within the next twelve months.
9. | Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits |
We maintain a retirement savings plan (the "Plan"), available to U.S. employees, that qualifies as a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company suspended employer matching as of August 18, 2009. We made discretionary matching contributions up to 50% of the first 5% of eligible employees' contributions for the first two months of fiscal year 2010 that totaled $68,000. Additionally, the Board of Directors approved a one-time profit sharing contribution of $245,000 to be distributed pro-rata based on salary to plan participants in fiscal year 2010. The one-time contribution was part of our second half bonus pool for fiscal year 2010.
We also maintain a defined contribution plan (the "Stakeholder Plan") for our UK based employees. The Stakeholder Plan provides for discretionary matching contributions of between 4% and 7% of the employee's salary. For fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, we made total contributions to the Stakeholder Plan of $63,000, $70,000 and $73,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2012, we maintained defined benefit pension plans covering certain current and former employees in Germany. The measurement date used to determine fiscal 2012 and 2011 benefit information for the plans was June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our German defined benefit plans have been closed to new employees since 1998 and no employees have been added to the plan since this time.

Pension assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include fair values of equity investments, debt securities and related dividends that were determined by closing prices for those securities traded on national stock exchanges. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Level 2 assets include cash surrender life insurance contracts that are valued based on contractually stated settlement value. In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider past performance and future expectations for the fund. Plan assets are heavily weighted toward equity investments that yield consistent, dependable dividends.
Our investment strategy with respect to pension assets is to invest the assets in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The long-term primary objectives for our pension assets are to: (1) provide for a reasonable amount of long-term growth of capital, with prudent exposure to risk and protect the assets from erosion of purchasing power; (2) provide investment results that meet or exceed the plans' actuarially assumed long-term rate of return; and (3) match the duration of the liabilities and assets of the plans to reduce the potential risk of large employer contributions being necessary in the future.
Contributions
We expect to contribute $30,000 to our defined benefit pension plans in fiscal year 2013.

We evaluate segment results using revenues and gross margin as the performance measures. Such information is shown on the face of the accompanying statements of operations. We do not identify assets on a segment basis. Effective as of our interim period ended March 31, 2012 we attribute revenues to individual countries and geographic areas based upon location of our customers. Previously, we attributed revenues to individual countries based upon the location of our selling subsidiary.

11. | Share-Based Compensation |
We have Stock Incentive Plans providing for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and non-qualified stock options to employees and directors. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee") administers the Stock Option Plans. Under the plans, the Compensation Committee may award stock options and shares of Common Stock on a restricted basis. The plans also specifically provide for stock appreciation rights and authorize the Compensation Committee to provide, either at the time of the grant of an option or otherwise, that the option may be cashed out upon terms and conditions to be determined by the Committee or the Board.
Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of our stock at the date of grant. We recognize stock compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718-10 over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of our stock compensation is accounted for as equity instruments.
Our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan became effective November 1, 2011 and replaced the 2001 Stock Option Plan that expired on October 31, 2011. As of November 1, 2011 there were no shares of Common Stock available for future grant under the 2001 Stock Option Plan. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan terminates on October 31, 2021. Stockholders have authorized the issuance of up to 500,000 shares under this plan, and at June 30, 2012, there were 445,000 shares available for future grants.
We recorded share-based compensation related to issuance of stock options and restricted stock to employees, board members, and non-employees, as follows (amounts in thousands of dollars):

Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes | $ | 716 | $ | 1,226 | $ | 670 |
We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of each option award on: 1) the date of grant for grants to employees, and 2) each reporting period-end date for grants to non-employees, until the non- employee shares have vested, at which point the vest date becomes the final measurement date for non-employee grants. We did not grant any stock options in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, and there were no unvested options granted to non-employees as of June 30, 2012.

Based on historical experience of restricted stock and option pre-vesting cancellations, we estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 9.00% for unvested restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2012. We estimated a 5.75% forfeiture rate for restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2011. We update our expectation of forfeiture rates quarterly and under the true-up provisions of ASC 718-10, we will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.

Total compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested as of June 30, 2012 is $2,000, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of one month. We generally issue new shares to satisfy option exercises.

We have not received any cash from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
During fiscal year 2012, we issued 94,000 shares of restricted stock to employees and board members that vest over either a three or four year service period. Vesting is based solely on a service condition, and restrictions generally release ratably over the service period. A summary of the activity of our service condition restricted shares during our fiscal year 2012 is presented below:
Weighted- | ||||||||
Average | ||||||||

Forfeited | (60,449 | ) | 5.37 | |||||
Non-vested at June 30, 2012 | 246,066 | $ | 4.94 |
During fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011, we issued performance-based restricted shares to senior and executive management and board members that will be released only if either company performance criteria or market condition criteria are achieved over a three year performance period. The performance criteria are determined each year and require us to achieve certain annual revenue and operating income goals. To the extent that these annual goals are met, a portion of the shares will vest and be released. The market condition requires our stock to reach a certain closing share price at the end of three years. Provided that the market condition is met, any remaining shares that did not vest based on the performance condition will become fully vested at the end of the three years. During fiscal year 2012 we released restrictions on 101,017 performance-based restricted shares, respectively, for certain shares granted to executive management and the board of directors that were eligible for release due to our achievement of performance criteria related to our fiscal 2011 financial results. We cancelled 132,184 performance-based restricted shares during fiscal year 2012 for restricted shares granted to executive management and board members that were either forfeited or expired during the period primarily because neither the performance criteria for our fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011 financial results, nor the market condition (achievement of certain share price) were met. The weighted average grant-date fair-value for our performance shares was based upon a Geometric Brownian Motion model and Monte Carlo simulation. A summary of the activity of our performance based restricted shares during fiscal year 2012, is presented below:

12. | Warrants |
In May 2007, we issued 1,120,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants in a private placement of public equity. The warrants were exercisable into 280,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $16.20 per share, which were exercisable as of the date of issuance and expired five years after the date of issuance, in May 2012. There are no remaining warrants available for exercise for our Common Stock as of June 30, 2012.
13. | Revolving Credit Facility |
We have a $10,000,000 credit line (the "Revolver") with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank") that matures on December 31, 2013. Advances against the Revolver bear interest on the outstanding principal at a rate per annum equal to the greater of 4.0% or either: (1) the prime rate, or (2) the LIBOR rate plus a LIBOR rate margin of 2.75%. We have borrowing availability of up to $10,000,000 under this Revolver as long as we maintain cash at or through the Bank of $15,000,000 or more. At all times that we maintain cash at or through the Bank of less than $15,000,000, the amount available for advance under the Revolver is calculated from a formula that is primarily based upon a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, which may result in less than, but no more than, $10,000,000 of availability.
The interest rate on the Revolver was 4% as of June 30, 2012. The outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest is payable in full at the expiration of the credit facility on December 31, 2013. Based on our cash balance at the Bank as of June 30, 2012, $10,000,000 was available to us under the Revolver. As of June 30, 2012, $0 was drawn under the Revolver, and we did not draw against the Revolver during fiscal year 2012.
Under the Revolver, we are obligated to maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $12,530,000 as of the last day of each quarter, increasing by 100% of quarterly net income and 100% of issuances of equity, net of issuance costs, and a consolidated quick ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants as our adjusted quick ratio was 6.47 to 1.00 and our tangible net worth was $27,368,000. The Revolver is secured by substantially all of the assets of the company.
On July 30, 2012, we entered into a Waiver and Second Modification (the "Modification") to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The Modification permits us to make payments of quarterly cash dividends. We may pay quarterly cash dividends, as approved by our board of directors from time to time, so long as an Event of Default does not exist at the time of declaration or payment of any such cash dividend and would not exist after giving effect to such cash dividend, provided such cash dividends do not exceed an aggregate of $3,000,000 per fiscal year.
14. | Rights Plan, Repurchase Agreement and Reduction of Authorized Shares |
On July 31, 1992, the Board of Directors of Concurrent declared a dividend distribution of one Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Right for each share of our Common Stock. The dividend was made to stockholders of record on August 14, 1992. On August 7, 2002, the Rights Agreement creating these Rights was extended for another 10 years to August 14, 2012 and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company was appointed as the successor rights agent pursuant to an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"). Under the Rights Agreement, each right becomes exercisable when any person or group acquires 15% of our common stock. Such an event triggers the Rights Agreement and entitles each right holder to purchase from Concurrent one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock at a cash price of $30 per right.
Under certain circumstances, each holder of a Right upon exercise of such right will receive, in lieu of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, common stock of Concurrent or its equivalent, or common stock of the acquiring entity, in each case having a value of two times the exercise price of the right. The rights will expire on August 14, 2012 unless earlier exercised or redeemed, or earlier termination of the Rights Agreement.

On June 23, 2008, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of our common stock, through a stock repurchase program that expired June 30, 2009. Under the share repurchase program, we were able to repurchase shares from time to time at the discretion of a stock repurchase committee in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We did not repurchase any shares from our management, directors or other insiders. During the authorization, we repurchased 36,924 shares for $252,000 under this repurchase program, all during fiscal 2009.
On June 29, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter Amendment") with the Delaware Secretary of State to reduce the number of authorized shares from 125,020,000 to 15,270,000 shares. The Charter Amendment was approved by shareholders and reduced the number of authorized shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 14,000,000 shares, reduced the number authorized shares of $0.01 par value Series Preferred stock from 25,000,000 shares to 1,250,000 shares, and maintained 20,000 authorized shares of $0.01 par value Class A Preferred Stock.
15. | Concentration of Risk |
Intercompany transfers between geographic areas are accounted for at prices similar to those available to comparable unaffiliated customers. Sales to unaffiliated customers outside the United States were $30,093,000, $26,806,000 and $20,773,000 for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which amounts represented 50%, 40% and 34% of total sales for the respective fiscal years.
Sales to the U.S. government, prime contractors and agencies of the U.S. government amounted to approximately $8,060,000, $11,878,000 and $13,639,000 for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which amounts represented 13%, 18% and 23%, respectively, of total sales for each of the fiscal years.

17. | Commitments and Contingencies |
We lease certain office space, warehousing, and equipment under various operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2016 and generally provide for the payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Additionally, certain leases contain escalation clauses that provide for increased rents resulting from the pass through of increases in operating costs, property taxes and consumer price indexes.
At June 30, 2012, future minimum lease payments for the years ending June 30 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
2013 | $ | 2,214 | ||
2014 | 2,022 | |||
2015 | 1,076 | |||
2016 | 449 | |||
2017 | - | |||
2018 and thereafter | - | |||
$ | 5,761 |
Rent expense under all operating leases amounted to $2,852,000, $2,841,000 and $2,746,000 for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that there is a remote possibility that any losses from such pending litigation will have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers that often require us to defend and/or indemnify the customer against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to our products. For example, we were notified that certain of our customers have been sued by the following companies, in the noted jurisdictions, regarding the listed patents:
Asserting Party | Jurisdiction | Patents at Issue | ||
Pragmatus VOD LLC | U.S. District Court of | U.S. Patents Nos. 5,581,479 and | ||
Delaware | 5,636,139 | |||
Olympic Developments AG, LLC | U.S. District Court Central | U.S. Patents Nos. 5,475,585 and | ||
District of California | 6,246,400 |
We continue to review our potential obligations under our indemnification agreements with these customers and the indemnity obligations to these customers from other vendors that also provided systems and services to these customers. From time to time, we also indemnify customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, and environmental claims relating to the use of our products and services or resulting from our acts or omissions, our employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. To date, we have not encountered material costs as a result of such obligations and have not accrued any material liabilities related to such indemnifications in our financial statements under ASC 460-10-25. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make is unlimited, and we are unable to estimate any possible loss or range of possible loss as we are not currently aware of any material obligations.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with the executive officers of Concurrent, employment may be terminated by either Concurrent or the respective executive officer at any time. In the event the executive officer voluntarily resigns (except as described below) or is terminated for cause, compensation under the employment agreement will end. In the event an agreement is terminated by us without cause or in certain circumstances constructively by us, the terminated employee will receive severance compensation equivalent to 6 to 12 months, depending on the officer, of annualized base salary then in effect. In the event our chief executive officer's ("CEO's") agreement is terminated by us within one year of a change of control other than for due cause, disability or non-renewal by our CEO, our CEO will be entitled to severance compensation multiplied by two. Additionally, if terminated, our CEO and chief financial officer may be entitled to bonuses during the severance period. At June 30, 2012, the maximum contingent liability under these agreements is $2,102,000. Our employment agreements with certain of our officers contain certain offset provisions, as defined in their respective agreements.
18. | Subsequent Event |
On July 2, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, the first of which is to be paid on July 31, 2012 to all stockholders of record as of July 17, 2012. On July 31, 2012 we paid $520,000 in total dividend payments. We intend to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common shares subject to, among other things, our results of operations, cash balances, future cash requirements, financial condition, statutory requirements of Delaware law, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
