EON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

For the Three and Six Months Ended January 31, 2010 and 2009

 

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, 2010, and for all periods presented.

Description of Business

eOn is a global provider of innovative communications solutions. The Company’s solutions enable its customers to leverage advanced technologies in order to communicate more effectively. eOn’s offerings are built on reliable open architectures that enable easy adoption of emerging technologies, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and concepts such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The Company’s Cortelco product line provides customer premise equipment (CPE) commercial grade telephone products primarily for use in businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, telephone companies, and utilities.

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 Communications Corporation, eOn Communications (Beijing) Corporation Limited (“eOn China”), and Cortelco Systems Holding Corp. (“Cortelco”) acquired on April 1, 2009. 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, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2009, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.

 

•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).

Table of Contents

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.

The note payable to the former Cortelco shareholders (Note 6) is valued 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. The following represents transactions related to the note payable for the six months ended January 31, 2010 (in thousands):

 

Beginning fair value - July 31, 2009		$	4,910
Imputed interest			318
Change in estimates			32
Interest expense			350
Payments			(1,023	)
Ending fair value - January 31, 2010		$	4,237

Income Taxes

For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Company recorded a current income tax benefit of approximately $21,000, related to a federal income tax refund receivable.

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, 2010.

Software Development Costs

In accordance with accounting standards, the Company capitalizes costs in developing software products upon determination that technological feasibility has been established for the product, if that product is to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense. When the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers, capitalization is ceased, and previously capitalized costs are amortized based on current and anticipated future revenues for the product, but with an annual amortization amount at least equal to the straight-line amortization over an estimated economic life of five years. The Company’s unamortized software cost at January 31, 2010 was approximately $530,000 and is included in intangibles, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The software is under development and is expected to be available for general release to customers in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, at which time the Company will begin amortizing it.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative non-governmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), have been superseded by the Codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become nonauthoritative. The Codification did not change GAAP, but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacts the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the quarter ended October 31, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable.

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB related to the accounting for business combinations and related disclosures. This new guidance addresses the recognition and accounting for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in business combinations. The guidance also establishes expanded disclosure requirements for business combinations. The guidance was effective for the Company on July 1, 2009, and the Company will apply this new guidance prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to July 1, 2009.

Table of Contents

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB related to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the controlling company’s balance sheet. It also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to interim disclosures about the fair values of financial instruments. This guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments whenever a public company issues financial information for interim reporting periods. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance upon its issuance, and it had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that becomes effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor-specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU No. 2010-06”), which amends the existing fair value measurements and disclosures guidance currently included in Accounting Standards Codification No. 820 to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, ASU No. 2010-06 requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, the reasons for any transfer in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis. In addition, ASU No. 2010-06 also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for additional disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We do not expect ASU No. 2010-06 to have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations.

 

2.	Stock Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

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 100% of 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, 2010, there were no options to purchase shares of common 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, 2010, employees purchased 1,222 shares under the plan.

Determining Fair Value

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical daily closing prices adjusted for expected future volatility. The Company believes that implied volatility is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than historical volatility. The Company uses historical information to calculate the expected life of option grants. The Company

Table of Contents

believes that historical information is currently reflective of the economic life of outstanding option grants. The dividend yield is determined by dividing the expected per share dividend during the coming year by the average fair market value of the stock during the quarter. The Company has not historically declared any cash dividends on its common stock, and currently intends to retain any retained earnings to finance the operation and expansion of the business and therefore does not expect to pay cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The estimated fair value of the employee stock options are amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

No stock-based compensation was recognized for the six months ended January 31, 2010. As of January 31, 2010, the Company has total unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $1,000 related to unvested stock options under the Plans.

General Stock Option Information

Activity in the Company’s stock option plans since July 31, 2009 is as follows:

 

		Shares Available for Grant		Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price

The aggregate intrinsic value of both options outstanding and options exercisable as of January 31, 2010 was $13,000. The aggregate intrinsic value of the 815 options which vested during the six months ended January 31, 2010 was $3,000. During the six months ended January 31, 2010, no options to purchase common stock were exercised.

 

3.	Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues from its four product lines are the result of separate, individual deliverables:

 

		Type of Revenues Earned
Product Line		Equipment/Software		Professional Services		Maintenance Contracts
Millennium PBX System		Individual sale
eQueue Contact Center System		Individual sale		Individual sale		Individual sale
VOIP Telephones		Individual sale
Cortelco Products		Individual sale

---

Table of Contents

Some customers contract for professional services to tailor their system to specific requirements. Professional services are invoiced separately upon completion. eQueue customers can also elect to enter into maintenance contracts to receive software updates and free technical support. Revenue is recorded quarterly for each maintenance period as provided.

The VOIP telephones can be deployed with either the Millennium or eQueue systems to provide lower call costs as well as flexible telecom management across multiple locations. These phones may be sold with a new system, but are often sold subsequent to the system sale.

Cortelco sells corded and cordless analog and digital telephones capable of operating in the multiple PBX, Key System and Centrex environments primarily through stocking distributors.

The Company records shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue, and shipping and handling costs incurred with the delivery of products as cost of sales.

Revenues from our products are recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally, revenue is recognized (1) upon shipment for equipment and software, (2) as work is performed for professional services, and (3) in equal periodic amounts over the term of the contract for software and hardware maintenance.

 

4.	Related Parties

Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico

Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico (“CSPR”) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company until August 28, 2001, when it was spun off to the shareholders of eOn. David Lee, Chairman of eOn, is a significant shareholder of CSPR. Since the spin-off, the Company has not had significant transactions with CSPR. The following represents related party transactions for the six months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Table of Contents

The Company acquired 300,100 shares (or 18.89%) of CSPR stock as the result of the acquisition of Cortelco on April 1, 2009. These shares were valued at approximately $111,000 at April 1, 2009 based on the quoted market price of CSPR’s shares at that date. Because David Lee is a significant shareholder of CSPR, eOn is accounting for this investment using the equity method of accounting, and eOn’s proportionate share of CSPR’s earnings or losses, are included in income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s proportionate share of CSPR’s net income was approximately $49,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010. The carrying value of the CSPR stock was $189,000 as of January 31, 2010 and $140,000 as of July 31, 2009. Summarized financial information of CSPR as of January 31, 2010 and for the six months ended January 31, 2010, is as follows (unaudited, in thousands):

Symbio Group

On August 1, 2007 and August 27, 2007, the Company made strategic investments in Symbio Investment Corp. (“Symbio”) of $500,000 and $400,000 for 250,000 and 200,000 shares, respectively, or a total of approximately 3% of Symbio. Symbio is a China-based provider of software development, testing, and globalization outsourcing services to multinational companies. The investment is expected to establish eOn as a provider of telephony and contact center solutions for Symbio’s outsourcing engagements requiring customer interaction management. eOn also gains the ability to provide Symbio outsourcing services to its customer base. Symbio is a privately held entity and the Company accounts for its 3% investment by the cost method.

At the time of the second investment in Symbio, the Company received a put option from David Lee, effective beginning January 1, 2008 and expiring on January 1, 2011. The put option allows the Company to sell to David Lee a maximum aggregate of 200,000 shares of its investment in Symbio 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, 2011, 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, David Lee was appointed to the board of directors of Symbio and has been elected Chairman. eOn was granted a total of 45,000 shares of Symbio stock in April 2008 and April 2009 as compensation for Mr. Lee’s services.

6.	Notes Payable, Related Party

On June 20, 2008, eOn China issued a note to Hangzhou Nature Opto Company in exchange for RMB 945,000, or approximately $138,000. The note payable is non-interest bearing and was due on January 19, 2009. The Board of Directors has approved the sale of eOn’s interest in Symbio-ESPark Business Outsourcing Joint Venture to Symbio in return for Symbio’s assumption of the note payable to Hangzhou Nature Opto Company. (Note 4).

On April 1, 2009, the Company executed a note payable to Cortelco’s former shareholders for $10,500,000 (the “Cortelco Note”). 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 $4,237,000 at January 31, 2010 using a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected future payments and a discount rate of 15.22%. The Cortelco Note balance includes $297,000 and $350,000 of interest expense during the three and six months ended January 31, 2010 imputed at the 15.22% discount rate using the effective interest method.

Actual payments under the Cortelco Note, which are to be based on future earnings of Cortelco, may differ significantly from the projected payments estimated at the Cortelco Note’s inception. These differences may result in significant fluctuations in periodic interest expense in order to properly reflect interest expense over the actual life of the Cortelco Note.

 

7.	Product Warranties

The Company generally provides customers a one year product warranty from the date of purchase for the Millennium and eQueue product lines. Warranty for the Cortelco product line ranges 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 0.6%-2.3% 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, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

 

		2010				2009

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There were no material changes during the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the critical accounting policies reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended January 31, 2010 compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2009

Net Revenue

Net revenue was up by approximately 169% to $3,516,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to $1,307,000 for the same period of the previous year. The increase was attributable to the inclusion of Cortelco net revenue of $2,795,000 in the current quarter partially offset by declines in eQueue, Millennium and international product revenue and maintenance revenue.

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 systems. Gross profit increased approximately 109% to $1,264,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 from $604,000 for the same period of the previous year, reflecting Cortelco gross profit of $845,000 partially offset by declines in eQueue and Millennium gross profit. Maintenance contract revenues declined compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross margin % decreased to approximately 36% for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared with gross margin of approximately 46% for the same period of the previous year, primarily the result of product mix. The margin percentage on Cortelco revenue is significantly less than the historical margins for both the Millennium and eQueue products.

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 65% to $1,133,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010, from $688,000 for the same period of the previous year. The increase primarily reflects Cortelco expenses of approximately $655,000, partially offset by lower compensation related expenses of approximately $151,000, and lower professional expenses of approximately $64,000. Expenses in both the current and prior periods include approximately $21,000 in amortization related to technology that the Company plans to amortize through 2011. The Company expects to continue to sell products utilizing this technology through 2011 and beyond.

Research and Development

Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel and related facility costs for our engineering staff. Research and development expenses decreased approximately 58% to $117,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 from $277,000 for the same period of the previous year. The decrease reflects a decrease of approximately $18,000 in rent, depreciation and facility costs. In addition, in the three months ended January 31, 2010, the Company capitalized approximately $141,000 of software development, most of which was internal labor related to a new IP PBX. Amortization of the capitalized costs is projected to begin in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 when the product is available for general release to customers.

Other Expense

Other expense is primarily comprised of bank service charges, franchise taxes, currency differences, and gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets. Other expenses were $13,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to $17,000 for the same period of the previous year. The decrease in other expense is primarily attributable to lower bank service charges in the current period compared to the previous year.

Interest Income (Expense), net

Interest expense was $297,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to interest income of $2,000 for the same period of the previous year. Interest expense in the current period includes $297,000 of imputed interest on the Cortelco Note, of which approximately $147,000 in interest expense is a result of changes in the estimated timing of future principal payments.

Other expenses were $32,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to $61,000 for the same period of the previous year.

Our investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $298,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to a net cash outflow of $149,000 for the same period of the previous year. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2010 was a result of net cash used for capitalized software costs of approximately $288,000 and purchases of property and equipment.

Our financing activities resulted in a cash outflow of $1,020,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to a cash inflow of $1,000 for the same period of the previous year. Cash used in financing activities in the current period reflects payments on the Cortelco Note partially offset by purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and exercise of a stock warrant. Cash provided by financial activities in the prior period were due to purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

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 through July 31, 2009; resulting in an accumulated deficit of $48,856,000 at that date. During the six months ended January 31, 2010 cash and cash equivalents decreased to $2,871,000 from $3,010,000, primarily as a result of payments made against the Cortelco Note.

The Company had income from operations of $411,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 versus a loss from operations of $523,000 for the same period in the prior year. As of January 31, 2010, the Company had $2,871,000 in cash and cash equivalents available to fund operations, of which $130,000 was held in international bank accounts.

The Company is largely dependent on available cash, short-term marketable securities and operating cash flow to finance operations and meet its other capital needs. Cortelco has a line of credit based on an asset formula involving accounts receivable and inventories up to a maximum of $2,500,000, none of which was drawn on as of January 31, 2010. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of Cortelco’s assets. The loan’s interest rate is floating based on LIBOR and expires June 29, 2010. If such sources are not sufficient, alternative funding sources may not be available. The Company believes that cash on hand, short-term marketable securities, and the Cortelco line of credit 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, cash equivalents, and Cortelco’s line of credit 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 income was $131,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $510,000 for same period in the previous year due to the acquisition of Cortelco and reduction in expenses explained above.

Reported net income has been materially impacted by the 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. The table below presents a non-GAAP financial disclosure to provide a quantitative analysis of the impact of the imputed interest expense on reported net loss and loss per share. Management does not include this expense in its analysis of financial results or how resources are allocated. Because of this, we deemed it meaningful to provide this non-GAAP disclosure of the impact of this significant item on our financial results.
