eOn Communications Reports Second Quarter and Year-To-Date Revenue Increases

CORINTH, MS (March 17, 2011) – eOn Communications Corporation™ (NASDAQ: EONC) (the “Company”), a leading provider of telecommunications solutions, today reported second fiscal quarter and year-to-date results for the period ended January 31, 2011.

Second quarter revenue increased 66% to $5,721,000 from $3,448,000 in the second quarter of last year, primarily due to the inclusion of Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico revenue in which majority ownership was acquired on June 9, 2010. Net loss for the quarter was $205,000 or $0.07 per common share compared to net loss of $248,000 or $0.09 per common share in the quarter ended January 31, 2010. The net loss for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 included a loss from discontinued operations of $51,000 or $0.02 per common share related to the Company’s China operations. Operating results were negatively impacted by $132,000 of imputed interest expense due to the amortization of the difference between the face value of the contingent obligation to the former Cortelco shareholders and the discounted present value of the note payable recorded on the balance sheet. Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter excluding the impact of the imputed interest expense was $22,000 or $0.01 per common share.

Revenue for the six months was $11,550,000, an increase of 46% compared to $7,920,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010. Net loss for the six months was $452,000 or $0.16 per common share, compared to a net income of $131,000 or $0.05 per common share for the six months ended January 31, 2010. The net loss for the six months ended January 31, 2011 included a loss from discontinued operations of $232,000 or $0.08 per common share. For the six months ended January 31, 2011 excluding the impact of $288,000 in imputed interest expense, net income from continuing operations was $68,000 or $0.02 per common share.

Results for the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Cortelco Systems Holding Company, remained strong compared to prior periods and forecasts despite economic pressures.

Mr. David Lee, chairman of eOn’s Board of Directors noted, “We continue to focus on the needs of our customers while aligning expenses with revenues. Sluggish revenue and a net loss in our communications systems and services segment were partially offset by positive results in the telephony and Puerto Rico segments. We are evaluating opportunities available to us related to our new IP-PBX in an effort to increase shareholder value.”
