Here is what Cedar Creek Partners has to say about Concurrent Computer Corp in its Q4 2021 investor letter:

CCUR Holdings (CCUR) is another expert market stock. The company deregistered with the SEC in 2021 after doing a 1-for-3,000 reverse split, reducing the number of shares outstanding to just 2,909. Most recent trade was at $6,000 per share. The company sold its operating business and has cash, equities, and fixed maturity securities. Subsequent to going dark, a SPAC they had co-sponsored with MILFAM, the family office of the estate of Lloyd Miller III, overseen by Neil Subin, and B Riley Securities (RILY), called Spartacus, completed a deal with NextNav (NN), a next generation GPS services and solutions company. They are also involved with MILFAM on a second SPAC, Crixus BH3 Acquisition Company (BHAC). We would estimate current book value at around $20,000 per share, excluding the potential from the second SPAC, or any insurance or legal recovery related to the $13 million loss on an aircraft loan. The fund’s cost basis is above $6,000 per share. We recently purchased additional shares for nearly $7,000. CCUR doesn’t have to knock it out of the park for our investment to do well. If CCUR can earn 5% on its $20,000 per share book value, we would be “earning” $1,000 per share on the current $6,000 valuation, or 16.7%. A 10% return by CCUR would be “equal to” a 33% return for our position in CCUR. We are very comfortable at the current valuation for it to be a 3% position for the fund.”
