                 NOTICE REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
provides that if any part of a registration statement at the time such part
becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to
such registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such
acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may sue, among others,
every accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or certified
any part of the registration statement, or as having prepared or certified any
report or valuation which is used in connection with the registration statement,
with respect to the statement in such registration statement, report or
valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified by the accountant.

This Form 10-K is incorporated by reference into Concord Communications, Inc.'s
filings on Form S-8 Nos. (File nos. 333-87516, 333-82252, 333-72518, 333-57672,
333-40456, 333-31484, 333-78087, 333-51945, 333-40645 and 333-38363)
(collectively, the "Registration Statements") and, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, is deemed to be a new registration
statement for each Registration Statement into which it is incorporated by
reference.

On June 10, 2002, we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditor
and engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors. Our
understanding is that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has
taken the position that it will not accept consents from Arthur Andersen, which
ceased operations in 2002, if the engagement partner and the manager for our
audit are no longer with Arthur Andersen. Both the engagement partner and the
manager for our audit are no longer with Arthur Andersen. As a result we have
been unable to obtain Arthur Andersen's written consent to the incorporation by
reference into the Registration Statements of its audit report with respect to
our financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the years then
ended. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act permits us
to file this Form 10-K without a written consent from Arthur Andersen. As a
result, however, Arthur Andersen will not have any liability under Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in
the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen or any omissions of a
material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you would be unable to
assert a claim against Arthur Andersen under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
for any purchases of securities under the Registration Statements made on or
after the date of this Form 10-K. To the extent provided in Section 11(b)(3)(C)
of the Securities Act, however, other persons who are liable under Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act, including our officers and directors, may still rely on
Arthur Andersen's original audit reports as being made by an expert for purposes
of establishing a due diligence defense under Section 11(b) of the Securities
Act.
