NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Overview of Business and Basis of Presentation

We provide software, hardware and professional services for the video market and the high-performance, real-time market.  Our business is comprised of two 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.

Our real-time products consist of real-time Linux operating systems, 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

There have been no changes to our Significant Accounting Policies as disclosed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.  The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

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.

Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2014, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $94,323,000 for income tax purposes, of which none expire in fiscal year 2015, and the remainder expire at various dates through 2032.  We completed an evaluation of the potential effect of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “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, 2014.

Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent primarily on the generation of future taxable income. In considering the need for a valuation allowance we consider our historical and future projected operations along with other positive and negative evidence in assessing if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets.  The following summarizes our conclusions on the need for a valuation allowance in each jurisdiction as of September 30, 2014:

U.S.:  As of June 30, 2014, our three-year cumulative accounting profit in the U.S. adjusted for permanent differences and other non-recurring events, including the 2013 gain on the sale of certain patents, and adjusting for the loss of a long time customer. This three-year period is the standard period by which we initially assess each jurisdiction and is strong objective evidence, whether positive or negative, to be considered in the release or recording of any valuation allowance.  In determining whether or not to release valuation allowance for the U.S. jurisdiction we considered positive evidence including the three year cumulative accounting profit, current projections of future profitability, lack of any significant claims or loss contingencies, and positive cash from operations.  Negative evidence considered includes significant volatility in our operations, history of NOLs expiring unused, concentration of our customer base including the risk that global consolidation in the cable industry, and the loss of a long-time customer in the current year.  Based on our analysis of both positive and negative evidence, we concluded during fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2014 that it is now more likely than not that we will realize a portion of our U.S. deferred tax asset, as the positive objective evidence, including the three-year cumulative accounting gain, outweighed the negative subjective evidence of customer concentration and volatility in our business.  As of September 30, 2014, we have not experienced a material change in our business or significant event that would change the conclusion we reached as of June 30, 2014.  Results materially different from our current expectations on an ongoing basis, or significant events such as the acquisition or loss of a major customer, or the change in buying habits of our customers, could result in future additional change in the valuation allowance. We will continue to evaluate our assumptions each quarter regarding the need for a change in our valuation allowance and will make appropriate adjustments as necessary.
CONCURRENT COMPUTER CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

U.K. - During our fiscal year 2014, a change in U.K. tax law relative to treatment of research and development expenses allowed us to release $214,000 of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that we believe are now realizable as a result of the current period tax law change.  We believe that in light of this law change, we will now generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize our net deferred tax assets in the U.K.

Japan - Our subsidiary in Japan has a long history of profitable operations, and we continue to project profitability in Japan for the foreseeable future.  Therefore, we continue to believe that we will fully realize the net deferred tax assets in Japan, and no valuation allowance is needed.

Other Foreign Jurisdictions - We also evaluated the need for a continued full valuation allowance against our foreign deferred tax assets in other jurisdictions.  We concluded that a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets for other foreign jurisdictions was warranted due to, among other reasons, (i) the realized cumulative accounting losses, (ii) our long history of taxable losses and (iii) our uncertainty with respect to generating future taxable income in the near term given our recently completed projections and other inherent uncertainties in our business.

Each quarter, we assess the total weight of positive and negative evidence and evaluate whether release of all or any portion of the valuation allowance is appropriate. Should we come to the conclusion that a release of our valuation allowances is required, or that additional valuation allowance is required, there could be a significant increase or decrease in net income and earnings per share in the period of release, or the additional valuation allowance, due to the impact on the tax rate.

We recorded a $177,000 income tax provision during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Our taxable income is primarily due to taxable income earned by our U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries.  Our U.S. tax provision is comprised primarily of non-cash deferred income tax expense, as we will be able to utilize net operating losses to offset cash taxes.  We recorded $39,000 of income tax provision during the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to taxable income earned by our Japan subsidiary and an expected alternative minimum tax liability in the U.S., both of which were mostly offset by the aforementioned prior year period release of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) which provides guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance was effective for us beginning July 1, 2014 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This amendment requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, unless certain conditions exist. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods (and the interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The new guidance was effective for us beginning July 1, 2014 and did not have any impact on our financial statements, as there were no net operating loss carryforwards attributable to any of our uncertain tax positions.

To Be Adopted
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition. Under the new standard, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. We anticipate this standard may have a material impact, and we are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This update affects reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award stipulate that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period.  The new standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition.  The new standard will be effective for us for us beginning July 1, 2015, and early adoption is permitted.  We expect adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern; which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim period and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued.  An entity must provide certain disclosures if “conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.  We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

· 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.

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 and array of available configurations, 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.

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
 
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.
 
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.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net 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.  Diluted earnings per common share assumes exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive.  Common share equivalents of 103,000 and 121,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the calculation as their effect was antidilutive.

We maintain a U.S. employee retirement savings plan that qualifies as a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Code.  We match 50% of the first 5% of the employee’s annual salary invested by the employee in the 401(k) plan.  We contributed $137,000 and $98,000 in matching funds to the 401(k) plan during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We also maintain a defined contribution plan (the “Stakeholder Plan”) for our U.K. based employees.  For our U.K. based employees who contribute 4% or more of their salary to the Stakeholder Plan, we match 100% of employee contributions, up to 7% of their salary.  We contributed $13,000 and $17,000 to the Stakeholder Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

These holders of restricted common stock will receive the dividend payments as long as they remain eligible at the vesting date of the shares. Because the participants are not entitled to these dividends unless they complete the requisite performance criteria and service period for the shares to vest, they are not participating dividends as defined under ASC 260-10.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with our executive officers and certain other employees, employment may be terminated by either the respective executive officer or us at any time. In the event the employee 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 for a period from 6 to 12 months, depending on the officer, in an annualized amount equal to the respective employee's base salary then in effect. In the event our CEO resigns within three months of a change in control or the 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 CFO may be entitled to bonuses during the severance period. At September 30, 2014, the maximum contingent liability under these and other executives’ agreements is $3,020,000. Our employment agreements with certain of our employees contain certain offset provisions, as defined in their respective agreements.
 
 
Item 2.  
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 Condensed 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 2 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 in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” elsewhere herein and in other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.  References herein to “Concurrent”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Concurrent Computer Corporation and its subsidiaries.

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.

Product Revenue.  Total product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $12.5 million, an increase of approximately $1.1 million, or 9.0%, from $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in product revenue resulted from the $1.5 million, or 31.4%, increase in real-time product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year.  The period over period increase in real time product revenue resulted from a $1.7 million increase in domestic real-time product sales generated primarily from the one-time sale of a custom simulator system to one of our U.S. defense department affiliated customers during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Revenue from defense contractors and the government tend to vary by quarter and year, and are dependent upon government initiatives and funding availability.

Partially offsetting our increase in real-time product revenue, our video solution product revenue decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 7.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the timing of customer orders in our various geographic regions, as follows:
 
· North American video solution product revenue decreased $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a North American cable service provider purchasing a large volume of video solutions systems in the prior year period that accounted for the majority of our prior year video solutions product revenue.  Current year video system sales were more evenly spread among numerous customers; however, we experienced lower overall purchasing volume from our domestic video solutions customers in the current year.
· Asia-Pacific video solution product revenue decreased approximately $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a Japanese cable service provider that expanded its system and storage capacity in the prior year period, purchasing a lower volume of video solutions systems in the current year period.
· Partially offsetting the decreases in video solutions product revenue in the aforementioned geographic markets, our European video solutions product revenue increased by $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized revenue from delivery of our content delivery network solutions to an existing European customer and from delivery of our network DVR technology as part of another existing European customer’s expansion of its existing systems.

Fluctuation in video solutions product 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.  Our video solutions product revenue is also subject to customers’ capital spending cycles and may be impacted in the future by consolidation of the industry in which our customers operate.

Service Revenue.  Total service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $5.1 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 12.0%, from $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This decrease was due to the $0.7 million, or 20.3%, decrease in video solutions service revenue.  Approximately $0.3 million of the decrease in video solutions service revenue resulted from the completion of a MDI managed service contract that we completed during our fiscal year 2014 and that was not renewed.  The remaining decrease in our video solutions service revenue was attributable to a decrease in our video solutions maintenance revenue.  In the prior fiscal year, a customer that accounted for approximately 7.9% of our total service revenue during the first quarter of our prior fiscal year indicated that it was winding down its purchase of maintenance services from us.  Our loss of maintenance revenue from this customer accounted for a $0.4 million decrease in maintenance service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year.  In the event that we are not able to replace this revenue with new customer revenue and other service revenues going forward, our service revenue will be impacted in the future.

Product Gross Margin.  Product gross margin was $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of approximately $0.4 million, or 7.4%, from $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.    Product gross margin as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 55.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 56.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.   Product margins increased in terms of dollars due to the period over period increase in revenue.  Product margins decreased as a percentage of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the mix of our product sales during each of the periods.

Service Gross Margin.  Service gross margin was $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 9.2%, from $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Gross margin on service revenue increased to 54.5% of service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 52.9% of service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in service margin as a percentage of service revenue was primarily due to the $0.4 million, or 15.1%, decrease in service cost of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in service cost of sales resulted from a $0.2 million decrease in amortization of purchased technology related to our MDI solutions and a $0.2 million decrease in costs to support MDI managed services contracts that have ended.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $0.5 million, or 13.9%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This period over period increase resulted from a $0.2 million increase in personnel costs during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period of the prior year, as we have increased our sales and sales support presence in both Europe and the United States to pursue new business and support existing customers.  We also incurred an additional $0.2 million in commission expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year due to our increase in revenue and increase in personnel eligible for commission.
Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased approximately $0.1 million, or 3.0%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This increase was due to a $0.2 million increase in personnel costs and recruiting fees during the three months ended September 30, 2014 resulting from an increase in development personnel to support product and strategic growth initiatives.  Partially offsetting the increase in new personnel costs, bonus incentive compensation decreased by $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to our expectations regarding our ability to meet the current year bonus performance criteria.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 4.5%, to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This decrease was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in share-based compensation expense and $0.1 million decrease in bonus incentive compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year.  Bonus incentive compensation decreased due to our expectations regarding our ability to meet the current year bonus performance criteria. Share-based compensation expense decreased due to the lower volume of restricted stock grants in recent years and the decrease in expense from performance-based restricted stock for which vesting is dependent upon achievement of current year bonus criteria.  Partially offsetting these decreasing expenses, we incurred an additional $0.2 million of consulting fees during the current period.

Gain on sale of IPv4 addresses, net.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we a block of IPv4 addresses to a single buyer.  This block of non-strategic IPv4 addresses, which was recorded at $0 book value, has not been a material part of our ongoing operations. Our $339,000 gain on the sale of these addresses is net of broker fees incurred to consummate the transaction.

Other expense, net.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred approximately $0.3 million of realized currency translation losses.  These losses resulted from the impact of the current period decrease in value of both the euro and Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar, on foreign currency transactions related to short-term intercompany accounts which are settled in the normal course of business by our European and Japanese subsidiaries for which the euro and yen are the respective functional currencies.

Provision for Income Taxes.  We recorded a $177 thousand income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and a $39 thousand income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Our tax provision recorded during the current period was primarily attributable to taxable income earned in the United States.  Our U.S. tax provision is comprised primarily of non-cash deferred income tax expense, as we will be able to utilize net operating losses to offset nearly all cash taxes.  Our tax provision recorded in the prior year period was primarily attributable to the income tax provision recorded by our subsidiary in Japan as a result of its pretax income earned in the period. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, most of the $0.2 income tax provision recorded in Japan was offset on a consolidated basis by the release of all valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets in the U.K.  This release was caused by a change in U.K. tax law relative to treatment of research and development tax credits.  The law change allowed us to release valuation allowances against approximately $0.2 million of deferred tax assets that we believe are now realizable as a result of the tax law change.

In jurisdictions other than the U.S., U.K. and Japan, we either generate net operating losses or occasionally utilize some of the net operating loss carryforward amounts.  However, because of the cumulative accounting losses in those jurisdictions, we maintain a full valuation allowance on those losses.  This results in no net income tax provision impact in those jurisdictions, as of September 30, 2014.

Net Income.  Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.4 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $0.7 million, or $0.08 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:

· our reliance on a small customer base, typically represented by a small number of large, concentrated orders (three customers accounted for 35% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and three customers accounted for 46% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013);
 
· our video solutions product revenue is subject to customers’ capital spending cycles and may be impacted in the future by consolidation of the industry in which our customers operate;
 
· 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, including European Union austerity measures;
 
· our ability to renew maintenance and support service agreements with customers and retain existing customers;
 
· the impact of U.S. government sequestration on our business and our customers;
 
· the rate of growth or decline, if any, of deployment of our real-time products;
 
· the actual versus anticipated decline in revenue from maintenance and product sales of real-time proprietary systems;
 
· our future access to capital;
 
· 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;
 
· the impact of delays of product acceptance from our customers;
 
· the percentage of sales derived from outside the U.S. 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;
 
· the rate of growth or decline, if any, of sales to the government and government related entities; and
 
· the use of cash to pay quarterly and special dividends.

Uses and Sources of Cash

We used $0.5 million and $0.6 million of cash from operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.  Operating cash outflows during the three months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily attributable to the timing of accounts receivable collection during the period, as our most recent quarter’s sales were heavily weighted toward delivery that occurred during the last few weeks of the quarter.  Operating cash outflows during the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily resulted from payment of prior period accruals and payables.

We invested $0.4 million and $0.5 million in property, plant and equipment during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Capital additions during each of these periods were primarily related to development and test equipment for our development group, and demonstration systems used by our sales and marketing group.  We expect capital additions to increase during the remainder of our fiscal year.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we sold a block of IPv4 addresses to a single buyer for $339,000, net of broker fees, for which we received $301,000 of proceeds during the period. We expect to receive the remaining $38,000 during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2015.  This block of IPv4 addresses, which we have recorded at $0 book value, has not been a material part of our ongoing operations. Our $339,000 gain on the sale of these addresses is net of broker fees incurred to consummate the transaction.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $0.12 per common share dividend.  The dividend was paid on September 29, 2014 to all stockholders of record as of September 15, 2014, aggregating $1.1 million.  We also paid an additional $0.1 million of dividends that had been held as dividends payable from previous declarations to restricted stockholders for whom restrictions lapsed during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  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.

We paid $0.1 million for the repurchase and retirement of shares to settle minimum tax withholdings for employees whose restricted stock awards released during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This tax settlement method was limited to a short period of time within our fiscal year 2013 and we do not anticipate any additional repurchases of stock for this purpose.

At September 30, 2014, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $29.4 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $26.2 million, and had no material commitments for capital expenditures.  At June 30, 2014, we had working capital of $29.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $28.1 million.  Based upon our existing cash balances, historical cash usage, and anticipated operating cash flow in the near term, we believe that existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital, capital expenditure requirements and any dividend payments for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We provide indemnifications of varying scope and size to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our products and certain other matters. In evaluating estimated losses on these indemnifications, we consider factors such as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and our ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. These obligations did not have a material impact on our financial statements during the periods presented.  See footnote 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the additional disclosures regarding indemnification.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on our short-term cash investments.  We conduct business in the United States and around the world.  Our most significant foreign currency transaction exposure relates to the United Kingdom, certain European countries that use the euro as a common currency, and Japan.  We do not hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
