After deal closing, it's a shell company. With it's biggest asset of NOL's. A Canadian company bought the products and would have no use for the NOL's.
9.32 shares outstanding
$67m cash (after deal closes, from press release)
from the 10K (in thousands)
As of June 30, 2017, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $71,953 for income tax purposes, of which none expire in fiscal year 2017, and the remainder expire at various dates through fiscal year 2036. We recently completed an evaluation of the potential effect of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) 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, 2017. If we experience an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the IRC, our ability to use these NOLs will be substantially limited, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset. See section below entitled “Tax Asset Preservation Plan” for details regarding steps we have taken to protect the value of our NOLs.
As of June 30, 2017, we had state NOLs of $37,394 and foreign NOLs of $28,335. The state NOLs expire according to the rules of each state and expiration will occur between fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2036. The foreign NOLs expire according to the rules of each country. Currently, none of the jurisdictions in which we have foreign NOLs are subject to expiration due to indefinite carryforward periods.

Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a global leader in storage, protection, transformation and delivery of visual media assets, and Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), a global leader in computing, storage and networking technologies, today announced the Aquari™ SN4410, a deep capacity storage node that enhances Concurrent’s Aquari Storage capabilities and leverages Supermicro’s best-of-breed optimized storage server to expand Concurrent’s market opportunity in the massive growth of storage for visual asset libraries.
As video moves through today’s file-based media workflow it is typically stored in multiple storage islands which creates unnecessary work and complexity. Today’s 4K video content and increasing OTT distribution options are causing media libraries to grow exponentially, resulting in inefficient capacity scaling and infrastructure management. The SN4410 storage node expands Aquari’s ability to consolidate storage by providing a cost-effective option to bring tape-based archives online, reducing the cost and complexity of managing tape storage and enabling new monetization opportunities by bringing more content online.
Sharing storage capacity between applications removes the need for storage silos, significantly minimizing cost, training, and support. It also enables faster migration of content, accelerating processing through the media workflow. Deploying 60 off-the-shelf hard drives, the SN4400 supports up to 480TB in a single 4U chassis. This high-capacity storage node allows easy scalability from terabytes to exabytes and integrates seamlessly with Aquari’s other high-performance and capacity optimized storage nodes and simple management UI and set of REST APIs.
“The rapid growth of visual media presents new and unique challenges in manageability, performance, increasing complexity and maintenance costs,” said Scott Ryan, senior vice president, products at Concurrent. “The Aquari SN4410 storage node was engineered to accommodate larger storage requirements of the $4.7 billion information archive market while still offering simple, cost-effective, adaptable, storage that streamlines administration and slashes OPEX overhead.”
Aquari is a modern, multi-workload storage system that supports applications using S3, Swift, RADOS, RBD, NFS, and SMB. It provides flexible configurations to integrate easily with core media applications and supports multiple application types simultaneously. Rather than creating storage silos tailored to each application, customers can now use a single Aquari cluster to easily configure and manage mixed workloads for enhanced operational efficiency and reduced capital spending.
“For customers who need a combination of strong performance and high capacity, as well as an architecture that is easy to manage and scale, this joint solution based on the Supermicro 4U 60-bay top-loading storage server should be strongly considered,” said Michael McNerney, Vice President Software Solutions and Infrastructure at Supermicro. “Aquari enables flexible cluster configurations to support multiple workload types, and the SN4410 extends the capacity capabilities to exabyte-scale environments.”

Concurrent Signs OEM Agreement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to Deliver High-Performance Visual Media Storage
GlobeNewswire•June 13, 2017
ATLANTA, June 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concurrent (CCUR), a global leader in storage, protection, transformation and delivery of visual assets, today announced that Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Concurrent have signed an OEM agreement to provide customers with a combined storage solution.
The new solution combines Concurrent Aquari™ Storage software with the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen 9 Server and HPE Apollo 4500 Systems to deliver the flexibility, performance, and exabyte-scale required by demanding video applications and other growing visual media workloads. Leveraging the performance and density of these HPE systems, Aquari Storage provides a massively scalable and easy-to-manage storage solution to support unpredictable data growth.
Building on its rich heritage in the video content delivery market, Concurrent continues to provide value to content creators, broadcasters, cable operators and post-production houses with Aquari Storage. By consolidating storage for all media workflows on a massively scalable storage system, visual media innovators can reduce total cost of ownership for storage, increase flexibility and scalability for growing media libraries, overcome the limitations of tape-based archives and improve operational efficiency using modern data protection methods.
“With 23.6% market share, HPE continues to be the leader in the worldwide server market according to IDC. Broadcasters and content providers select HPE density-optimized server hardware as a solid foundation for software-defined storage infrastructures that are cost effective and resilient enough for large data loads,” said Scott Ryan, Senior Vice President, Products at Concurrent. “This OEM partnership increases the serviceable market for Aquari storage as well as gives our customers who prefer HPE servers a stress-tested option developed for the unique demands of digital media.”
