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 reduced 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.

Losses on foreign currency transactions of $257,000, $348,000, and $116,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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.

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 and Equipment

Property 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 five 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 delivered or the services have been performed,

the fee is fixed or determinable, and

collectability of the fee is probable.

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 systems maintenance. Product revenue is generally recognized when the product is delivered. Professional services that are of a consultative nature may take place before, 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 services are performed. Initial maintenance begins after delivery of the system and typically is provided for one to three years after delivery. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Our product sales are predominantly system sales whereby software and hardware function together to deliver the essential functionality of the combined product. Upon our adoption of ASU 2009-14 on July 1, 2010, sales of these systems were determined to typically be outside of the scope of the software revenue guidance in Topic 985 (previously included in SOP 97-2) and are accounted for under ASU 2009-13.

Our sales model for media data intelligence (“MDI”) products includes the option for customers to purchase a perpetual license, a term license, or software as a service. Customers also have the option to purchase maintenance or managed services with their license. Revenue from these sales generally is recognized over the term of the various customer arrangements. Professional services attributable to implementation of our MDI 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 services 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 or perpetual license and maintenance or 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 service period, because we do not have vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for our term licenses, maintenance, or managed services for MDI solutions.

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, there are similar third party vendors that routinely provide similar professional services, and certain customers perform the installation themselves. Our maintenance has standalone value because we have routinely sold maintenance separately.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, we allocate revenue to each element in an arrangement based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its VSOE, if available, third party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“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 ESP 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 solutions products is 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 ESP. Our methodology for determining ESP requires judgment, and any changes to pricing practices, the costs incurred to integrate products, the nature of our relationships with our customers, and market trends could cause variability in our ESP or cause us to re-evaluate our methodology for determining ESP. We update our analysis of mode and median selling price at least annually, unless facts and circumstances indicate that more frequent analysis is required.

Occasionally, we sell software under multiple element arrangements that do not include hardware. Under these software arrangements, we allocate revenue to the various elements based on VSOE of fair value. Our VSOE of fair value is determined based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all elements in a multiple element arrangement, but does exist for undelivered elements, we recognize revenue using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement is recognized as revenue. Where fair value of undelivered elements has not been established, the total arrangement is recognized over the period during which the services are performed.

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 collectability 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 12 months is classified among long-term liabilities.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We maintain defined benefit pension plans (the “Pension Plan”) for a number of former employees (“participants”) of our German subsidiary. In 1998 the pension plan was closed to new employees and no existing employees are eligible to participate, as all eligible participants are no longer employed by Concurrent. The Pension Plan provides benefits to be paid to all participants 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 participants’ 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 software development costs capitalized at June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 111,000, 232,000, and 502,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculation as their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

	Year Ended June 30,

Diluted EPS	$	2.04	$	0.48	$	(0.34	)

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, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Fair Value Measurements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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

●	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.

Our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2014 Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Cash	$	18,037	$	18,037	$	-	$	-
Money market funds		10,037		10,037		-		-
Cash and cash equivalents	$	28,074	$	28,074	$	-	$	-

Our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2013 Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Cash	$	17,895	$	17,895	$	-	$	-
Money market funds		10,032		10,032		-		-
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,927	$	27,927	$	-	$	-

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 basis 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. Total compensation cost of restricted stock awards issued, but not yet vested as of June 30, 2014 is $668,762, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.5 years.

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 Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“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.
