EON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
For the Six Months Ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
 
1.
Basis of Presentation
 
                The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by eOn Communications Corporation (“eOn” or the "Company").  It is management’s opinion that these statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of January 31, 2014, and for all periods presented.
 
Description of Business
 
eOn Communications Corporation and subsidiaries (“eOn” or the “Company”) is a provider of communications solutions. Backed with over 20 years of telecommunications expertise, the Company’s solutions enable customers to use its technologies in order to communicate more effectively. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cortelco Systems Holding Corp, (“Cortelco”), the Company provides commercial grade telephone products primarily for use in businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, telephone companies, and utilities. Cortelco sells primarily through large national distributors with whom it has long-term relationships. Through its majority-owned subsidiary, Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico (“CSPR”), the Company provides sales and service of integrated communications systems, data equipment, security products, and telephony billing services.
 
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include the accounts of eOn, Cortelco acquired on April 1, 2009 and CSPR, control of which was acquired on June 9, 2010.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto as of July 31, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2013, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Pending Transaction with Inventergy, Inc.
 
On December 17, 2013, eOn, Inventergy, Inc., an intellectual property investment and licensing company whose principal offices are located in Cupertino, California (“Inventergy”), and Inventergy Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed that Merger Sub will merge with and into Inventergy (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Inventergy will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn. Consummation of the Merger is subject to approval by the stockholders of eOn and certain other conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger is expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2014. Upon completing the Merger, eOn will be renamed Inventergy Global, Inc. and Inventergy stockholders in the aggregate will own approximately 93% of the fully diluted common stock of eOn. The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Inventergy will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently the transaction is treated as an acquisition of eOn.
 
In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, eOn, Cortelco, and eOn Communications Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn (“eOn Subsidiary”) entered into a transition agreement that provides for numerous transactions among eOn and its subsidiaries in connection with, and subject to the completion of, the Merger. Each of these transactions would take place at the time the Merger becomes effective, including but not limited to the following:
 
(1)
eOn and Cortelco will each transfer certain contracts and other assets to eOn Subsidiary, and eOn Subsidiary will assume the liabilities associated with such contracts.
 
(2)
eOn and Cortelco will redeem in full the contingent note to the former Cortelco shareholders in the maximum initial amount of $11,000,000 in consideration of paying the noteholders a combination of cash and transferring all of the outstanding shares of Cortelco owned by eOn to certain of the noteholders.
 
(3)
Cortelco will enter into a fulfillment services agreement with eOn Subsidiary providing certain services to be conducted on behalf of eOn Subsidiary after the Merger.
 
(4)
eOn will transfer to Cortelco all of its ownership in CSPR and Symbio Investment Corporation.
 
Upon completion of the Merger and the transition transactions, eOn will no longer own any interest in Cortelco, CSPR, or Symbio Investment Corporation.
 
Subject to the completion of and at the time of the Merger, additional transactions will take place, including but not limited to the following:
 
(1)
eOn will declare and pay to eOn shareholders of record as of a record date that is at least 10 days prior to the date of the eOn special stockholder meeting called to vote upon the Merger a dividend in the amount of $1,650,000.
 
(2)
eOn will file an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which amendments will include changing its name to Inventergy Global, Inc., effecting a reverse stock split at a ratio of between one-for-three and one-for-five shares of eOn common stock and designating the rights and preferences of eOn preferred stock.
 
(3)
eOn, eOn Subsidiary, and each other direct and indirect subsidiaty of eOn, will, after the Merger, guarantee and enter into a security agreement relating to certain senior secured notes due May 10, 2018, issued by Inventergy to certain investors in the initial principal amount of $5 million and assume certain obligations of Inventergy pursuant to an assumption agreement.
 
(4)
The officers and directors of eOn will resign and the directors elected by the eOn stockholders and officers appointed by such newly elected directors will serve in their stead.
 
For additional information regarding the Merger, see eOn’s registration statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 7, 2014.

Estimates
 
                The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
                Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non performance.
 
Accounting standards have established a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting standards have established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
·
 Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 
·
 Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
 
7

 
·
 Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
The Company’s cash equivalent instruments, primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury Securities, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.
 
As of January 31, 2014, the Company owns approximately four percent of Symbio Investment Corporation. Symbio Investment Corporation is a holding company whose primary asset is an approximate nineteen percent investment in Symbio S.A. Symbio S.A.’s principal business is to provide outsourced information technology and research and development services globally at sites located in the United States, Finland, Sweden, China and Taiwan. The Company believes, based on stock issuances by Symbio S.A. that the fair value of the Company’s investment in Symbio Investment Corporation is less than the Company’s cost of $990,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the investment in Symbio Investment Corporation based on the stock issuances noted above and the put option described in Note 4. The estimated fair value resulted in an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $394,000 recognized in the quarter ended October 31, 2013. This impairment resulted in a remaining book value of the investment in Symbio Investment Corporation, including the estimated value of the put option, totaling $596,000 as of January 31, 2014. No impairment charge was recognized for the quarter ended January 31, 2014 based on no indicators of other-than-temporary impairment identified at period end.
 
                The note payable to the former Cortelco shareholders (Note 6) is valued each period end using a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected future payments of Cortelco using a discount rate of 15.22%. The note is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  Projected future payments are evaluated at each reporting period and are significantly impacted by seasonal changes in inventory and vendor and customer payments.  The following represents transactions related to the note payable for the six months ended January 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Restricted Cash
 
The Company’s restricted cash is held in a bank as security for irrevocable letters of credit obtained from the bank as required by the securities purchase agreement under which the Company sold 2,750 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock (see Note 8). Restricted cash totaled $2,750,000 and zero as of January 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its net deferred tax assets in future returns, to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realized, the Company continues to record a valuation allowance against all of its deferred tax assets at January 31, 2014.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the January 31, 2014 condensed consolidated financial statement presentation.

The Company's Equity Incentive Plans, adopted in fiscal years 1997, 1999 and 2001, authorize the granting of incentive stock options, supplemental stock options, stock bonuses, and restricted stock purchase agreements to officers, directors, and employees of the Company and to non-employee consultants.  The board of directors has declared that no future grants will be made under the plan adopted in 1997.  Incentive stock options are granted only to employees and are issued at prices not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.  The options generally vest over a four-year period and the term of any option cannot be greater than ten years from the date of grant.  Restricted stock purchase agreements are issued at prices not less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.  During the six months ended January 31, 2014, there were no options to purchase shares of common stock and no restricted stock granted by the Company.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits employees to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The purchase price under this plan is 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of an offering period or on a purchase date, whichever is less.  Offering periods generally last one year with purchase dates six and twelve months from the beginning of an offering period.  During the six months ended January 31, 2014, there were 13,939 shares purchased by employees under the plan, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share.

At the time of the second investment in Symbio Investment Corporation, the Company received a put option from David Lee, Chairman of the Company, effective beginning January 1, 2008 and expiring on January 1, 2011. In December 2010, the expiration of the put option was extended until January 1, 2013. In December 2012, the expiration of the put option was extended until January 1, 2015. The put option allows the Company to sell to David Lee a maximum aggregate of 200,000 shares of its investment in Symbio Investment Corporation for a per share price of $2.00.
 
In consideration of the put option, in the event that the 200,000 shares are sold without exercise of the put option before January 1, 2015, the Company has agreed to pay David Lee 50% of the proceeds in excess of $1,000,000.
 
In conjunction with the purchase of these shares in 2007, David Lee was appointed to the board of directors of Symbio S.A. and has been elected Chairman.  The Company was granted a total of 45,000 shares of Symbio Investment Corporation stock as compensation for Mr. Lee's services.  These shares have been valued at $90,000, by the Company, and have been recorded as an increase in investments and a capital contribution by David Lee, in 2009.
 
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $394,000 against the Investment in Symbio Investment Corporation. This impairment resulted in a remaining book value of the investment in Symbio Investment Corporation, including the value of the put option, totaling $596,000 as of January 31, 2014.

Notes Payable, Related Party
 
On April 1, 2009, the Company executed a note payable to Cortelco’s former shareholders for $11,000,000 (the “Cortelco Note”) in connection with the acquisition of Cortelco.  The Cortelco Note is non-interest bearing and is to be repaid based primarily upon the level of Cortelco earnings after closing and all Cortelco shareholders are eligible to receive quarterly payments thereunder in cash until the full consideration has been paid.
 
The fair value of the Cortelco Note payable obligation was approximately $3,245,000 at January 31, 2014 using a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected future payments and a discount rate of 15.22%. The Cortelco Note balance includes $272,000 and $344,000 of imputed interest expense during the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 imputed at the 15.22% discount rate using the effective interest method.
   
The amount of actual quarterly payments under the Cortelco Note, which are based on Cortelco’s quarterly cash flows, as defined, may differ significantly from the projected payments estimated at the Cortelco Note’s inception. Payments on the Cortelco Note based upon Cortelco’s quarterly cash flows have totaled approximately $2,731,000 since the April 1, 2009 inception of the Cortelco Note through January 31, 2014. The Company expects to pay approximately $400,000 on the Cortelco Note in March 2014 based upon the cash flows of Cortelco for the quarter ended January 31, 2014.
 
On June 9, 2010, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company recorded a non-interest bearing note payable to David S. Lee, eOn’s Chairman, due in three annual installments beginning June 9, 2011. Mr. Lee requested deferral of the payment due on June 9, 2011, 2012 and 2013; therefore, the total obligation of approximately $186,000 is included in current maturities of notes payable-related parties.

7.
Product Warranties
 
Warranties for the Cortelco and CSPR product lines range from one to five years based upon the product purchased. The Company estimates the costs of satisfying warranty claims based on analysis of past claims experience and provides for these future claims in the period that revenue is recognized. The cost of satisfying warranty claims, which approximates 0.5% - 1.0% of product revenues, has historically been comprised of materials and direct labor costs.  The Company performs quarterly evaluations of these estimates, and any changes in estimates which could potentially be significant, are included in earnings in the period in which the evaluations are completed.  The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability during the six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On December 17, 2013, in contemplation of the Merger, the Company issued 2,750 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock (the “redeemable convertible preferred stock”) at a price of $1,000 per share, subject to the terms of its Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,401,870 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “warrants”) to certain accredited investors in a private offering transaction for proceeds of $2,750,000. The Certificate of Designations sets forth the terms, rights, provisions for conversion to common stock, obligations and preferences of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and provides that holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis with the common stock. However, the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock will not participate in the $1,650,000 dividend to be paid upon completion of the Merger (see Note 1). Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of certain conversion events, into common stock, at a conversion rate of $1.07 per common share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events). Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock has a vote equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the redeemable convertible preferred stock would be convertible, using a conversion price of $1.24 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events) in lieu of the stated conversion price. Upon certain triggering events, such as the Merger not being completed by June 17, 2014, the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock can require the Company to redeem its redeemable convertible preferred stock in cash at a price as specified in the Certificate of Designations. In the event the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock do not exercise their redemption options within thirty days of a triggering event, the Company has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock in cash at a price as specified in the Certificate of Designations. As of January 31, 2014, the Company recorded $2,750,000 related to the redeemable convertible preferred stock, which represents its redemption value.
 
The warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the redeemable convertible preferred stock are exercisable the business day following the completion of the Merger and expire two years from the initial exercise date. If the Merger is not completed, the warrants will be cancelled. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.33 per common share (subject to adjustments for stock splits and similar events). As of January 31, 2014, no amounts have been recognized for the warrants as they do not convey to the holders the unconditional ability to acquire the Company’s common stock. Once the warrants become exercisable following the completion of the Merger, the value of the warrants will be recorded.

Concentrations, Commitments and Contingencies
 
(a)
Customer Concentrations
 
At January 31, 2014, five customers accounted for approximately 26% of total accounts receivable and individually 7%, 6%, 6%, 4% and 3% of the total accounts receivable.  At January 31, 2013, four customers accounted for approximately 38% of total accounts receivable and individually 18%, 7%, 7% and 6% of the total accounts receivable.  For the six months ended January 31, 2014, four customers accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue and individually 10%, 10%, 8% and 7% of total revenue.  For the six months ended January 31, 2013, four customers accounted for approximately 42% of total revenue and individually 18%, 13%, 7% and 4% of total revenue.
 
(b)
Commitments
 
At January 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding commitments for inventory purchases under open purchase orders of approximately $1,383,000.
 
Cortelco has a line of credit with available borrowings based on an asset formula involving accounts receivable and inventories up to a maximum of $1,000,000, none of which was drawn on in the current or prior fiscal year. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of Cortelco’s assets and expires December 15, 2014. The loan’s interest rate, with a floor of 4%, is floating based on LIBOR. 
 
CSPR has a $800,000 revolving line of credit, $250,000 and none of which was drawn on as of January 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively, secured by trade accounts receivable and bears interest at 2% over Citibank’s base rate. The agreement has certain covenant requirements and expires November 30, 2014.

Litigation and Claims
                 
The Municipal Revenue Collection Center of Puerto Rico (“CRIM") conducted a personal property tax audit of CSPR for the years 1999 and 2000 which resulted in assessments of approximately $320,000 (approximately $559,807 as of February 14, 2014, including interest and penalties). The assessments arose from CRIM’s disallowances of certain credits for overpayments from 1999 and 2000, claimed in the 2001 through 2003 personal property tax returns. During the audit process, CRIM alleged that some components of the inventory reported as exempt should be taxable. The parties met several times and an informal administrative hearing was held on September 27, 2006. CSPR submitted its position in writing within the time period provided by CRIM. CSPR believed it had strong arguments to support its position that the components of inventory qualify as raw material and that a settlement could be reached for an amount less than the assessment. Accordingly, the Company had previously recorded a liability, which had a balance of $96,000 as of July 31, 2013. On February 12, 2014 CSPR received a payment demand notice from the CRIM in the amount of $559,807, but provided that if CSPR entered into a settlement agreement on or prior to March 27, 2014, CSPR could settle the outstanding amount for $320,000 and take advantage of an amnesty provision which would eliminate accumulated interest and penalties. Management is working with CRIM on the settlement proposal to settle this claim for the initial assessment of approximately $320,000 and has recorded an additional liability of $224,000 as of January 31, 2014 in anticipation of this settlement. 
 
The Company is involved in various other matters of litigation, claims, and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the eventual disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

Discontinued Operations
 
On July 31, 2013, the Company sold the rights for the purchase, sale and licensing of its Millennium, eQueue and eConn product lines and related inventories to PiOn, Incorporated (“PiOn”) located in Manchester, New Hampshire. The divestiture is consistent with the Company’s plan to discontinue marketing efforts in the PBX and call center telecommunications systems segment and focus on IP voice and security endpoints within its Cortelco business segment. Under terms of the sale, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $48,000, assigned approximately $52,000 in deferred revenue liabilities to the buyer and will receive up to three years of royalty payments based on future sales of products included in the Millennium, eQueue, and eConn product lines. Royalty payments over the contractual period are to be received 30 days after each calendar quarter with royalty revenue recognized when earned.
 
The Company will continue to fulfill product orders and provide repair and refurbishment services for PiOn as part of an orderly transition from the Company’s Corinth, Mississippi warehouse to PiOn’s warehouse in Manchester, New Hampshire. The transition period will be no less than six months and can be extended indefinitely. The net cash flows expected to be received and paid by the Company related to the fulfillment, repair and refurbishment services during the transition period are not expected to be significant.
 
In accordance with the Company’s decision to exit the communications systems and services business segment, the results of operations from these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

11.          Income Taxes
 
The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) of ($14,000) and $7,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, consisted of estimated current state income taxes of Cortelco. No deferred taxes are provided in the accompanying financial statements due to the valuation allowance established.
 
As of January 31, 2014, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $28,000,000 which expire at various dates through 2034. The Internal Revenue Code provides limitations on utilization of existing net operating losses against future taxable income based upon changes in share ownership. If these changes occur, the ultimate realization of the net operating loss carryforwards could be limited which would result in some portion of the carryforwards becoming permanently impaired.

12.
Segments
 
The Company’s reportable segments are Telephony Products and Puerto Rico, each of which offers different products and services or services in different geographic areas. The Telephony Products segment provides telephone products, service and support to businesses and organizations.  The Puerto Rico segment provides the sales and service of integrated communications systems, data equipment, security products and telephony billing services to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.  Performance of each segment is assessed independently. During fiscal 2013, the Company disposed of its Communications Systems and Services segment and has reclassified its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 to reflect operations of this segment as discontinued. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended January 31, 2013 totaled $127,000, which excludes approximately $431,000 of ongoing operating costs and expenses, which were allocated to the Communications Systems and Services six months ended January 31, 2013 segment information disclosed below. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, such ongoing operating costs and expenses are included in the Telephony Products operating segment.

Item 2. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are those that express management’s views of future events, developments, and trends. In some cases, these statements may be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of such terms and other comparable expressions. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our anticipated or projected operating performance, financial results, liquidity and capital resources. These statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, which in turn are based on the information currently available to management. Information contained in these forward-looking statements is inherently uncertain, and our actual operating performance, financial results, liquidity, and capital resources may differ materially due to a number of factors, most of which are beyond our ability to predict or control. Factors that may cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, eOn’s ability to compete successfully in its industry and to continue to develop products for new and rapidly changing markets. We also direct your attention to the risk factors affecting our business that are discussed in the Company’s most recently filed 10-K. eOn disclaims any obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect any future events or developments. The following discussions should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and the notes included thereto.
 
Overview
 
eOn Communications Corporation  (“eOn” or the “Company”) is a provider of communications solutions.  Backed with over 20 years of telecommunications engineering expertise, the Company’s solutions enable its customers to use technologies to communicate more effectively.  
 
On April 1, 2009, the Company acquired Cortelco Systems Holding Corp. (“Cortelco”). David Lee, Chairman of eOn, was the Chairman and controlling shareholder of Cortelco. Cortelco, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cortelco.

On June 9, 2010, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase 501,832 shares of common stock of Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico, Inc. (“CSPR”) from David Lee, eOn’s Chairman. The purchase, combined with shares already owned by the Company, establishes eOn as the majority shareholder of CSPR.  
 
On July 31, 2013, the Company sold the rights for the purchase, sale and licensing of its Millennium, eQueue and eConn product lines and related inventories to PiOn, Incorporated (“PiOn”) located in Manchester, New Hampshire. PiOn is a subsidiary of Professional Inbound, Inc., d/b/a Professional Teledata, Inc. The divestiture is consistent with the Company’s plan to discontinue marketing efforts in the PBX and call center telecommunications systems segment and focus on IP voice and security endpoints within its Cortelco business segment. In accordance with the sale, all revenues and expenses of this operating segment are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
 
On December 17, 2013, eOn, Inventergy, Inc., an intellectual property investment and licensing company whose principal offices are located in Cupertino, California (“Inventergy”), and Inventergy Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed that Merger Sub will merge with and into Inventergy (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Inventergy will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn. Consummation of the Merger is subject to approval by the stockholders of eOn and certain other conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger is expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2014. Upon completing the Merger, eOn will be renamed Inventergy Global, Inc. and Inventergy stockholders in the aggregate will own approximately 93% of the fully diluted common stock of eOn. The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Inventergy will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently the transaction is treated as an acquisition of eOn.
 
In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, eOn, Cortelco, and eOn Communications Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of eOn (“eOn Subsidiary”) entered into a transition agreement that provides for numerous transactions among eOn and its subsidiaries in connection with, and subject to the completion of, the Merger. Each of these transactions would take place at the time the Merger becomes effective, including but not limited to the following:
 
(1)
eOn and Cortelco will each transfer certain contracts and other assets to eOn Subsidiary, and eOn Subsidiary will assume the liabilities associated with such contracts.
 
(2)
eOn and Cortelco will redeem in full the contingent note to the former Cortelco shareholders in the maximum initial amount of $11,000,000 in consideration of paying the noteholders a combination of cash and transferring all of the outstanding shares of Cortelco owned by eOn to certain of the noteholders.
 
(3)
Cortelco will enter into a fulfillment services agreement with eOn Subsidiary providing certain services to be conducted on behalf of eOn Subsidiary after the Merger.
 
(4)
eOn will transfer to Cortelco all of its ownership in CSPR and Symbio Investment Corporation.
 
Upon completion of the Merger and the transition transactions, eOn will no longer own any interest in Cortelco, CSPR, or Symbio Investment Corporation.
 
Subject to the completion of and at the time of the Merger, additional transactions will take place, including but not limited to the following:
 
(1)
eOn will declare and pay to eOn shareholders of record as of a record date that is at least 10 days prior to the date of the eOn special stockholder meeting called to vote upon the Merger a dividend in the amount of $1,650,000.
 
(2)
eOn will file an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which amendments will include changing its name to Inventergy Global, Inc., effecting a reverse stock split at a ratio of between one-for-three and one-for-five shares of eOn common stock and designating the rights and preferences of eOn preferred stock.
 
(3)
eOn, eOn Subsidiary, and each other direct and indirect subsidiaty of eOn, will, after the Merger, guarantee and enter into a security agreement relating to certain senior secured notes due May 10, 2018, issued by Inventergy to certain investors in the initial principal amount of $5 million and assume certain obligations of Inventergy pursuant to an assumption agreement.
 
(4)
The officers and directors of eOn will resign and the directors elected by the eOn stockholders and officers appointed by such newly elected directors will serve in their stead.
 
For additional information regarding the Merger, see eOn’s registration statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 7, 2014.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
                There were no material changes during the six months ended January 31, 2014 to the critical accounting policies reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013.
 
Results of Operations
 
For the Three Months Ended January 31, 2014 compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2013
 
Net Revenue
 
Net revenue decreased by approximately 6% to $4,633,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to $4,929,000 for the same period of the previous year.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased revenues of approximately $381,000 in the Company’s telephony product line. The decrease is partially offset by revenue increases of approximately $85,000 in the Company’s Puerto Rico product lines.
 
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
 
Cost of revenue is primarily comprised of purchases from our contract manufacturers and other suppliers and costs incurred for final assembly of products.  Gross profit decreased approximately 13% to $953,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 from $1,094,000 for the same period of the previous year.  The decrease was primarily attributable to declines in CSPR gross profit when compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross profit percent decreased to approximately 21% for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared with gross profit percent of approximately 22% for the same period of the previous year, primarily the result of product mix. 
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and benefit costs, marketing costs, and facilities and other overhead expenses incurred to support our business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 20% to $1,539,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, from $1,282,000 for the same period of the previous year.  The increase is primarily due to recording additional property tax liability of $224,000 by CSPR.   
 
 Other Operating Expense (Income), net
 
Other operating expense is primarily comprised of bank service charges, stock compensation expense, franchise taxes, currency differences, proceeds from scrap sales, and gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets.  Other income was $9,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to other expense of $2,000 for the same period of the previous year.  
 
Interest Income (Expense), net
 
Interest expense was $272,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to interest income of $239,000 for the same period of the previous year.  Interest expense in the current period includes $272,000 of imputed interest  on the Cortelco Note, of which approximately $157,000 in interest expense is a result of changes in the estimated timing of future principal payments. Interest income in the prior period includes $240,000 of imputed interest benefit on the Cortelco Note, of which approximately $366,000 of interest benefit is a result of changes in the estimated timing of future principal payments.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
 
Income tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $21,000 and $0, respectively.  Income tax benefit consists of amounts recoverable after the filing of our fiscal 2013 tax return. Income tax expense consists of current state income tax expense in states in which net operating loss carry forwards were not available to offset taxable income. Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its net favorable tax attributes in future returns, to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realized, the Company continues to record a valuation allowance against substantially all of its deferred tax assets at January 31, 2014.
 
For the Six Months Ended January 31, 2014 compared to the Six Months Ended January 31, 2013
 
Net Revenue
 
Net revenue decreased by approximately 4% to $9,914,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to $10,315,000 for the same period of the previous year.  The decrease was attributable to decreased revenues of approximately $388,000 in the Company’ telephony product lines compared to the same period of the previous year. 
 
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
 
Cost of revenue is primarily comprised of purchases from our contract manufacturers and other suppliers and costs incurred for final assembly of our products.  Gross profit decreased approximately 8% to $2,198,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 from $2,399,000 for the same period of the previous year.  Decrease in CSPR gross profit was partially offset by an increase in Cortelco gross profit for the six months ended January 31, 2014 when compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross profit percent decreased to approximately 22% for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared with gross profit percent of approximately 23% for the same period of the previous year, primarily the result of product mix. 
 
Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and benefit costs, marketing costs, and facilities and other overhead expenses incurred to support our business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 8% to $2,766,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014, from $2,555,000 for the same period of the previous year. The increase is primarily due to recording the additional property tax liability of $224,000 by CSPR.
 
Other Operating Expense (Income), net
 
Other operating expense (income) is primarily comprised of bank service charges, stock compensation expense, franchise taxes, currency differences, proceeds from scrap sales, and gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets.  Other income was $6,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to other expense of $16,000 for the same period of the previous year.  
 
Interest Income (Expense), net
 
Interest expense was $344,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to interest income of $281,000 for the same period of the previous year.  Interest expense in the current period includes $344,000 of imputed interest expense on the Cortelco Note, of which approximately $114,000 in interest expense is a result of changes in the estimated timing of future principal payments. Interest income in the prior priod includes $283,000 of imputed interest benefit on the Cortelco Note, of which approximately $537,000 in interest benefit is a result of changes  in the estimated timing of future principal payments.
 
Impairment of Investment
 
Impairment of investment is comprised of an other-than-temporary impairment charge against the Company’s investment in Symbio Investment Corporation. Impairment of investment was $394,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 based on a fair value determination performed in the period. No impairment charge was recognized for the six months ended January 31, 2013 based on no indicators of other-than-temporary impairment indentified at period end.
 
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
 
Income tax benefit for the six months ended January 31, 2014 was $14,000 compared to income tax expense of  $7,000 for the same period of the previous year. Income tax benefit consists of amounts recoverable after the filing of our fiscal 2013 tax return. Income tax expense consists of current state income tax expense in states in which net operating loss carry forwards were not available to offset taxable income. Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its net favorable tax attributes in future returns, to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realized, the Company continues to record a valuation allowance against substantially all of its deferred tax assets at January 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of January 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,874,000 and working capital of $9,574,000. 
 
Our operating activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $28,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to a net cash outflow of $244,000 for the same period of the previous year.  The net operating cash inflow for the current period primarily reflects lower inventories partially offset by higher trade accounts receivable, lower trade accounts payable, and net loss (adjusted for non-cash items). The net operating cash outflow for the prior year period primarily reflects higher inventories and lower accrued expenses partially offset by lower trade accounts receivable and higher trade accounts payable.   
 
Our investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $73,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to a net cash outflow of $160,000 for the same period of the previous year.  Cash used in investing activities for the current and prior year periods was a result of net cash used for purchases of property and equipment.      
 
Our financing activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $141,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to a net cash outflow of $191,000 for the same period of the previous year.  Cash provided by financing activities in the current period reflects borrowings on lines of credit and purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan partially offset by payments on notes payable. Cash used in  financing activities for the prior year period reflects payments on notes payable.
 
Liquidity
 
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through debt financing and proceeds generated from public offerings of its common stock.  The proceeds from these transactions have been used primarily to fund research and development costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses. 
 
The Company has incurred substantial net operating losses since inception and has had negative cash flows from operating activities resulting in an accumulated deficit of $50,366,000.  As of January 31, 2014 the Company had $1,874,000 in cash and cash equivalents to fund operations.
 
The Company is largely dependent on available cash, cash equivalents, and operating cash flow to finance operations and meet its other capital needs. Cortelco has a line of credit with available borrowings based on an asset formula involving accounts receivable and inventories up to a maximum of $1,000,000, none of which was drawn on in the current or prior fiscal year. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of Cortelco’s assets and expires December 15, 2014.  The loan’s interest rate, with a floor of 4%, is floating based on LIBOR.  CSPR has a $800,000 revolving line of credit, $250,000 and none of which was drawn on as of January 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively, secured by trade accounts receivable and bears interest at 2% over Citibank’s base rate.  The agreement has certain covenant requirements and expires November 30, 2014. If such sources are not sufficient, alternative funding sources may not be available.  The Company believes that cash on hand plus the additional liquidity that it expects to generate from operations will be sufficient to cover its working capital and fund expected capital expenditures over at least the next twelve months. 
 
Capital Resources
 
We believe that cash and cash equivalents plus the additional liquidity that we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of the business including capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.  Should actual results differ significantly from our current assumptions, our liquidity position could be adversely affected and we could be in a position that would require us to raise additional capital, which may not be available to us or may not be available on acceptable terms. 
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
Net loss was $714,000 and $1,129,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to net income of $83,000 and $171,000 for the three and six month periods in the previous year due to fluctuations in gross margins and expenses explained above.   
 
Concentrations, Commitments and Contingencies 
(a) Customer Concentrations
 
At January 31, 2014, five customers accounted for approximately 26% of total accounts receivable and individually 7%, 6%, 6%, 4% and 3% of the total accounts receivable.  At January 31, 2013, four customers accounted for approximately 38% of total accounts receivable and individually 18%, 7%, 7% and 6% of the total accounts receivable.  For the six months ended January 31, 2014, four customers accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue and individually 10%, 10%, 8% and 7% of total revenue.  For the six months ended January 31, 2013, four customers accounted for approximately 42% of total revenue and individually 18%, 13%, 7% and 4% of total revenue.

(b) Commitments
 
At January 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding commitments for inventory purchases under open purchase orders of approximately $1,383,000.
 
(c) Litigation and Claims
 
The Municipal Revenue Collection Center of Puerto Rico (“CRIM”) conducted a personal property tax audit of CSPR for the years 1999 and 2000 which resulted in assessments of approximately $320,000 (approximately $559,807 as of February 14, 2014, including interest and penalties). The assessments arose from CRIM’s disallowances of certain credits for overpayments from 1999 and 2000, claimed in the 2001 through 2003 personal property tax returns. During the audit process, CRIM alleged that some components of the inventory reported as exempt should be taxable. The parties met several times and an informal administrative hearing was held on September 27, 2006. CSPR submitted its position in writing within the time period provided by CRIM. CSPR believed it had strong arguments to support its position that the components of inventory qualify as raw material and that a settlement could be reached for an amount less than the assessment. Accordingly, the Company had previously recorded a liability, which had a balance of $96,000 as of July 31, 2013. On February 12, 2014 CSPR received a payment demand notice from the CRIM in the amount of $559,807, but provided that if CSPR entered into a settlement agreement on or prior to March 27, 2014, CSPR could settle the outstanding amount for $320,000 and take advantage of an amnesty provision which would eliminate accumulated interest and penalties. Management is working with CRIM on the settlement proposal to settle this claim for the initial assessment of approximately $320,000 and has recorded an additional liability of $224,000 as of January 31, 2014 in anticipation of this settlement.
 
The Company is involved in various other matters of litigation, claims, and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the eventual disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

Item 3. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
The Company is subject to market rate risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on its financing, investing and cash management activities, but the Company does not believe such exposure is material.
 
Item 4. – Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Based on our management's evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act")) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
