Interesting!!!
This has to be one of the quietest publically quoted profit earning high-tech companies in existence. Why?
That's 4% off the stock. Maybe filling that sell has been holding this down.
I cannot fully understand why it is that this business is so overlooked by the market. Could it perhaps be the case be that their products are so specialised that very few people understand what it is that they do - or what? Certainly their website provides little clue in layman's terms as to what it really is Most unusual.

2 December 2011 Concurrent Technologies Plc Product Launch Widened Applications in the Defence and Security Sectors Concurrent Technologies Plc (the "Company"), a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, is pleased to announce support of Green Hills' Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), INTEGRITY(R) on its high performance OpenVPX(TM) Single Board Computer, the TR 80x/39x, launched earlier in 2011, and which features the 2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processor. Although the Company has historically provided support for many of today's leading operating systems on its single board computers, it believes that supporting Green Hills INTEGRITY(R) on the TR 80x/39x increases its competitiveness within the defence sector. Green Hills' INTEGRITY(R) is a feature rich, high reliability RTOS. It is particularly suited for applications within the embedded military and security market sectors where system malfunction could lead to a catastrophic failure. Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, Concurrent Technologies Plc commented: "Continual product development is essential in providing the Company with the competitive edge it has enjoyed over many years. The decision to support INTEGRITY(R) on the TR 80x/39x was in response to customer demand and market requirements as system security and safety becomes increasingly important within the defence market sector." "Support for INTEGRITY(R) further increases the wide range of operating systems we now support and we expect to include support for INTEGRITY(R) on many of our new boards being released in 2012." Enquiries:

I was thinking of making a small buy on this stock, but upon checking their website, noticed that they haven't announced any new products since February 2011. Is this a matter for concern, or are they just a bit slack at updating? And if so, is that slackness a matter for concern. Appreciate any input.
