eOn Communications Reports Profitable First Quarter Fiscal 2006 Results

ATLANTA (December 13, 2005) – eOn Communications Corporation^™ (NASDAQ: EONC), a leading provider of telecommunications solutions, today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2005.

Excluding Cortelco Shanghai, revenues for the quarter were $3,172,000, a decrease of 30.6% compared with $4,571,000 for the same period last year. Excluding Cortelco Shanghai, income from continuing operations was $181,000, or $0.01 per common share, an increase of 120.7% compared to income from continuing operations of $82,000 or $0.01 per share in the quarter ended October 31, 2004.

On October 26, 2005, the Company announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding to sell its 54% interest in Cortelco Shanghai Telecom Equipment Company to the 46% minority holder, Shanghai Fortune Telecommunication Technology Development Co. Ltd. and members of management of Cortelco Shanghai. Accordingly, the results of operations of Cortelco Shanghai for all periods presented are reported as discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations was $107,000, or $.01 per common share compared to income from discontinued operations of $16,000 or $0.00 per common share in the quarter ended October 31, 2004.

Net income for the quarter was $505,000, or $0.04 per common share, an increase of 415.3% compared to net income of $98,000, or $0.01 per common share in the quarter ended October 31, 2004. The net income of $505,000 consisted of three components: $181,000 from continuing operations, $107,000 from discontinued operations and an extraordinary gain of $217,000.

The Company issued the final amount of common stock required to be made pursuant to the original Cortelco Shanghai purchase agreement in the quarter ended October 31, 2005. Because the value of the assets acquired exceeded the value of the stock issued, the Company realized an extraordinary gain on the purchase. The extraordinary gain was $217,000, or $0.02 per common share.

“I am pleased to report that our ongoing efforts to better align our expenses and revenues have yielded profitable results for the quarter.” stated David Lee, eOn’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We expect these actions, combined with our sales initiatives here and in China, will also generate profitable results in our second quarter.”
