AUSTIN, Texas, April 04, 2018 -- FalconStor Software, Inc. (OTCQB:FALC), a market leader in storage software, announced that as part of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed on April 2, 2018, the audited financial statements were approved without the need for a going concern qualification paragraph by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
