PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

2009 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 8, 2009

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Corporation for use at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 8, 2009 for the purposes set forth in the foregoing Notice. This statement and the form of proxy are being first sent to security holders on or about November 16, 2009.

The accompanying form of proxy has been prepared at the direction of the Board of Directors and is sent to you at its request. The proxies named therein have been designated by the Board of Directors.

Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time before they are voted by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or by notifying the Secretary of the Corporation at 185 Martinvale Lane, San Jose, CA 95119, in writing of such revocation prior to the Annual Meeting. A proxy, when properly executed, duly returned and not so revoked, will be voted and, if it contains any specification, will be voted in accordance therewith, provided the proxy is not mutilated or otherwise received in such form or at such time as to render it unvotable. If no choice is specified, the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors as stated on the proxy form and in this Proxy Statement.

The recommendations of the Board of Directors with respect to voting on each scheduled item of business at the Annual Meeting are set forth in this Proxy Statement. In summary, the Board recommends that stockholders vote:

• For the election of the two nominated Class I directors to serve on the Corporation’s Board of Directors for a term of three years or until his/her successor is elected and qualified;

• For the ratification of appointment of GHP Horwath, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm; and

• Any other item of business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote the shares of Common Stock represented by valid proxies as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, as they may determine in their own discretion.

The proxy solicitation will be conducted by mail, except that in a limited number of instances proxies may be solicited by officers, directors and regular employees of the Corporation personally, by telephone or by facsimile. The Corporation does not presently anticipate payment of any compensation or fees of any nature to anyone for the solicitation of these proxies, except that the Corporation may pay persons holding shares in their name, or of their nominees, for the expense of sending proxies and proxy material to principals. The entire cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

Only holders of the 2,735,634 outstanding shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the record date, November 6, 2009, are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote the shares of Common Stock that they held on that date at the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

The presence in person or representation by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum, thereby permitting the stockholders to conduct their business at the Annual Meeting.

The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum.

Each other item of business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting will be determined by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted on the matter. Under Delaware law, abstentions are counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum and, being shares entitled to vote, are counted in the determination of voting results.

In general, if a stockholder holds shares of Common Stock in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, and if the broker or other nominee is not instructed or otherwise empowered to vote the stockholder’s shares at a meeting with respect to a particular matter, then the stockholder’s shares will constitute “broker non-votes” as to such matter. Under Delaware law, broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum; however, because they reflect the withholding of voting power on a specified matter, they are not shares entitled to vote and thus are not counted in the determination of voting results. As a practical matter, there will be no “broker non-votes” at the Annual Meeting, because the nature of the matters to be acted upon by the Corporation’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting is such that the brokers or other nominees will have discretion to vote the stockholder’s shares even in the absence of express instructions from the stockholders.

At the Annual Meeting, votes will be counted by a representative of Broadview Investor Communication Solutions, the Corporation’s independent Inspector of Election. Such representative will process the votes cast by the stockholders, will make a report of inspection and count of the votes cast by the stockholders, and will certify as to the number of votes cast on each proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Corporation currently consists of five directors divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II, and Class III. A single class of directors is elected each year at the Annual Meeting. Subject to transition provisions, each class of directors serves until the third Annual Meeting of stockholders after his/her election or until a successor has been elected and duly qualified. Two Class I directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting.

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the shares represented by all valid proxies, which are received for the election of the nominees hereinafter named, unless the authority to do so is withheld on the proxy. The two nominees for the Class I directors are presently serving in such capacity.

Management has no reason to believe that the nominee will refuse to act or be unable to accept election; however, in such event and if any other unforeseen contingency should arise, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote for another nominee selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with their best judgment.

The following descriptions set forth certain information, as of October 26, 2009, about each director, including each person’s business experience for the past five years. There is no family relationship between any of the directors or executive officers of the Corporation.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

During fiscal year 2009, five meetings of the Board of Directors were held. Each of the directors during the term of their tenure attended or participated in at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served during the year. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the members of which are appointed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors established an independent Committee of the Board of Directors, which met two times during fiscal year 2009, for the purpose of negotiating the potential acquisition of Cortelco. The Board of Directors has determined that directors Dilworth, King and Gibbs are “independent directors” as defined in Rule 4200 of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. Independent directors are free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, may interfere with such member’s individual exercise of independent judgment in evaluating transactions contemplated by the Company. These three directors are the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, as discussed below.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Robert P. Dilworth, W. Frank King, and Frederick W. Gibbs. The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the selection of independent auditors, reviews the scope and results of the audit engagement, approves the fees for the auditors, reviews and evaluates eOn’s internal control functions, and reviews all potential conflict of interest situations. See “Certain Transactions.” The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter in accordance with Section 3(a) (58) (A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is attached as Appendix A. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Dilworth is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee met four times during fiscal year 2009.

5

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Robert P. Dilworth, W. Frank King, and Frederick W. Gibbs. The Compensation Committee reviews, determines, and establishes the salaries, bonuses and other compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers and administers the Corporation’s Equity Incentive Plans in which executive officers and other key employees participate. The Compensation Committee did not meet during fiscal year 2009. The Compensation Committee does not have a charter.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “CGN Committee”) consists of Robert P. Dilworth, W. Frank King, and Frederick W. Gibbs. The CGN Committee has the responsibility for matters relating to the organization and membership of the Board of Directors and for issues relating to the Company’s corporate governance. The CGN Committee did not meet during fiscal year 2009.

The CGN Committee does not have a separate charter. The Board of Directors will consider all potential candidates for nomination by the Board of Directors for election as directors who are recommended by the Company’s stockholders, directors, officers and employees. All director recommendations must be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) of our bylaws. All director recommendations should be sent to the CGN Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary. The CGN Committee will screen all potential director candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. The CGN Committee’s review typically will be based on the written materials provided with respect to a potential director candidate. The CGN Committee will evaluate and determine whether a potential candidate meets our minimum qualifications and specific qualities and skills for directors and whether requesting additional information or an interview is appropriate.

The Board of Directors has adopted the following series of minimum qualifications and specific qualities and skills for our directors, which will serve as the basis upon which potential director candidates are evaluated by the CGN Committee:

• Directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values.

• Directors should have expertise and experience at policy-making levels in areas that are relevant to our business.

• Directors should have, or demonstrate an ability and willingness to acquire in short order, a clear understanding of the fundamental aspects of our business.

• Directors should be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders.

• Directors should be willing to devote sufficient time to carry out their duties and responsibilities effectively and should be committed to serving on the Board of Directors for an extended period of time.

• Directors should offer their resignation in the event of any significant change in their personal circumstances, including a change in their principal job responsibilities.

Compensation of Directors

Salaried officers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for serving as members of the Board of Directors. No additional compensation is paid if a full-time officer serves on any committee of the Board of Directors.

Annual cash payments of $15,000 are paid to each non-employee serving as a member of the Board of Directors. Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings. Non-employees serving as members of the Board of Directors are eligible to receive stock option grants under eOn’s 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by a majority of

6

stockholders in April 1999. As of October 30, 2009, there were three non-employee directors eligible to participate in the 1999 Plan: Robert P. Dilworth, W. Frank King, and Frederick W. Gibbs. During fiscal year 2009 there were no options to purchase common stock issued to non-employee directors.

In order to recruit and retain qualified directors, the Board’s intent is to make annual grants of stock options to each director. Exercise prices will be equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Each stock option will become exercisable one year following the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the 1999 Plan to directors may be exercised only if the holder has been in continuous service on the Board of Directors at all times since the date of the grant of the option.

Annual Meeting Attendance

The Company does not have a policy requiring Board members to attend annual meetings. One of the Company’s directors attended the prior year’s annual meeting. All five of the Company’s directors are expected to attend the 2009 annual meeting.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors or any individual director regarding any matter relating to the Corporation that is within the responsibilities of the Board of Directors. Stockholders, when acting solely in such capacity, should send their communications to the Board of Directors or an individual director c/o Corporate Secretary, 185 Martinvale Lane, San Jose, CA 95119. The Corporate Secretary will discuss with the Chairman of the Board or the individual director whether the subject matter of a stockholder communication is within the responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Corporate Secretary will forward a stockholder communication to the Chairman of the Board or individual director if such person determines that the communication meets this standard.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the Corporation’s directors and executive officers and the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock (the “Reporting Persons”) file initial reports of, and subsequent reports of changes in, beneficial ownership of the common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Reporting Persons are required to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section 16(a) reports filed with the SEC. Based solely on the Corporation’s review of the copies of such reports and written representations from certain Reporting Persons furnished to the Corporation, the Corporation believes that the Reporting Persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during fiscal year 2009.

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all employees. A copy of this Code of Ethics is posted on our investor relations website—www.eoncc.com/investor_relations.htm.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES FOR CLASS I DIRECTOR LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors has appointed GHP Horwath, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2010. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent auditing firm at any time during the year if the Board of Directors believes such a change would be in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.

FEES PAID TO THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Fees

Audit Fees represent aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and for reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/10-QSB. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit and review of the Company’s annual financial statements for each of the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, were approximately $184,000 and $138,000, respectively.

Audit Related Fees

Audit Related Fees represent aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements that are not included under the caption “Audit Fees” above. There were no audit related fees billed by GHP Horwath, P.C. for fiscal years ended 2009 or 2008.

Tax Fees

Tax Fees represent aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. There were no tax fees billed by GHP Horwath, P.C. for fiscal years ended 2009 or 2008.

All Other Fees

All Other Fees represent aggregate fees billed for all other products and services provided by the principal accountant not otherwise disclosed above. There were no fees from GHP Horwath, P.C. for services rendered to the Company, other than for services described above, for the years ended July 31, 2009 or 2008.

The audit committee has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Under this policy, any audit or non-audit service performed by the independent auditor must receive either specific or general pre-approval by the audit committee. Specific pre-approval is the action whereby the audit committee explicitly pre-approves the engagement of the independent auditor to perform specific audit or non-audit services. General pre-approval entails the pre-approval of the engagement of the independent auditor to perform services pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee that are detailed as to the specific types of services so pre-approved. Any service performed by the independent auditor that exceeds its pre-approved fee level must receive specific pre-approval by the audit committee. All of the services provided by GHP Horwath P.C. during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 were approved by the audit committee pursuant to this policy.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF GHP HORWATH, P.C. AS THE CORPORATION’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JULY 31, 2010.

However, representatives will be available via conference call, and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

General Philosophy. We compensate our executives through a mix of base salary, performance incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentives, and employee benefits and perks designed to:

• Attract and retain high caliber executives and motivate them to achieve superior performance for the benefit of our stockholders;

• Motivate our executives to achieve our key strategic and financial performance measures; and

• Enhance the incentives for executives to increase our stock price and maximize stockholder value.

A portion of executive officers’ compensation potential on an annual basis is at risk based on our performance. If our performance does not meet the criteria established by the Compensation Committee, incentive compensation will be adjusted accordingly. The Compensation Committee of The Board of Directors oversees our general programs of compensation and benefits for all employees and determines the compensation of our executive officers and directors. Our compensation setting process consists of establishing a base salary, a targeted, performance incentive bonus, and long-term equity compensation for each executive. We design the performance incentive bonus compensation to reward executives as a group linking this compensation to revenue and earnings growth targets as well as certain other corporate objectives. Other employees are rewarded with performance incentive bonus compensation for achieving specific operational goals within areas under their control, although company-wide performance is also a factor.

The total cash compensation (i.e., base salary plus performance incentive bonus) paid to our executive officers is intended to be competitive with the total cash compensation paid to executive officers in similar positions at companies engaged primarily in the communications industry with revenues similar to ours, as well as comparable to other companies with performance similar to ours. The Compensation Committee reviews the targeted total compensation (i.e., the aggregate level of compensation that we will pay if performance goals are fully met) to ensure the total compensation is aligned with our goals of comparability and incentivizing performance. We also provide our executives with a variety of other benefits that we make available generally to all salaried employees.

The Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the primary authority to determine our compensation philosophy and to establish compensation for our executive officers. In determining the appropriate level of compensation and the total compensation package, the Compensation Committee reviews a variety of sources to determine and set compensation.

The Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation for our executives. Our CEO assists the Compensation Committee by providing recommendations regarding the compensation of all other executives. Each named executive officer and other senior executive management team members, in turn, participates in performance reviews with the CEO to provide input about their contributions to our success for the period being assessed. The performance of our CEO and executive management team as a group is reviewed by the Compensation Committee.

Total Compensation. The total compensation package offered to each executive officer is comprised of four elements which are described in more detail below:

Element	Objective
Base salary	Attract and retain, reward individual performance
Performance incentive bonus	Achievement of financial objectives
Long-term equity incentive awards	Align long-term compensation with stockholder results
Employee benefits and perks	Provide competitive benefits

Typically, the Compensation Committee engages in peer compensation of our executives and similar companies, taking into consideration the company’s size, industry, and geographic locality, as well as the comparable executive’s level of responsibility, and years of experience. Due to restructuring and changes to the Company’s executive officers, the Committee did not conduct a peer comparison in fiscal year 2009. The Compensation Committee is responsible for balancing the financial requirements of the Company with the need to attract and retain key executives.

The overall result of this review provides a base point for the analysis of the Compensation Committee. We look at a number of other factors, including the total compensation, the median, mean, minimum, and maximum for each executive officer position. We strongly believe in retaining the best talent among our executive management team. Goals of the compensation program are to align compensation with business performance and the interest of stockholders, and enable the Company to attract, motivate, and retain management that can contribute to the Company’s long-term success. In the case of our CEO, we also considered our performance since he was employed, and the anticipated level of difficulty of replacing him with someone of comparable experience and skill.

Base Salaries. We want to provide our executives with a level of assured cash compensation in the form of base salary to compensate them for the services they provide and their level of professional experience and knowledge. The Compensation Committee considers the input of the CEO with respect to the base salaries of our other executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews senior management compensation. In establishing base salaries, we seek relevant compensation information including (1) the scope of the position; (2) the responsibilities; (3) the experience and length of service with our Company, the industry, and the community; (4) efforts and performance; (5) team building skills; (6) the observance of our ethics and compliance programs; (7) the salaries paid by competitive companies to officers in similar positions; and (8) the base salaries paid to our other executive officers. Increases in base salary from year to year are based upon the performance of the executive officers as well as market positioning considerations, as assessed by the CEO and reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assesses these factors with respect to the CEO. The Compensation Committee recommends the compensation of the CEO for approval by the independent directors of the Board of Directors. The base salaries of our named executive officers are set forth below.

Name	Annual Base Salary Paid as of July 31, 2009		Annual in Lien of Salary for Services as CEO
James W. Hopper	$	177,091	$	52,885
Lee M. Bowling		97,614		—

These salaries reflect levels that the Compensation Committee concluded were appropriate based upon its general experience and review of comparables.

Performance Incentive Bonus. We implemented an Executive Incentive Plan (the Bonus Plan) for all of our officers, including executive officers, in 2006. The Bonus Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee, provides that each year the Compensation Committee will establish a method for determining the total amount of performance incentive bonuses available to be paid to all officers under the Bonus Plan (bonus

12

pool). The bonus pool is established based upon specific measures of our financial performance, which may include sales, operating income, pre-tax income, net income, and earnings per share. The Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine the amount of each officer’s actual performance incentive bonus portion of bonus pool earned under the Bonus Plan. For fiscal years 2008 and 2009, no bonus was earned due to the financial performance of the Company.

Equity Compensation. We may grant long-term, equity-based incentive awards to our executive officers under our 1999 and 2001 Equity Incentive Plans, as amended and restated (the Equity Incentive Plans). Under the Equity Incentive Plans, which are administered by the Compensation Committee, we may grant awards in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock units, performance share units, and stock bonuses. Based on an assessment of competitive factors, we determine an award that is suitable for providing an adequate incentive for the performance and retention of each executive officer

Our prevailing practice has been to award stock options in order to closely align the interests of the executive officers with those of our stockholders. To encourage retention, the stock options may be granted with a vesting period of one or more years. We have taken the position that stock options should be granted with an exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, which is calculated as the average of the highest and lowest reported sale prices on the trading day immediately prior to the grant date. The actual value of stock option compensation, therefore, depends on the market value of the common stock increasing after the grant date. In fiscal year 2009, 2,500 stock options were awarded to a non-executive employee.

Guidelines for the number of equity incentive awards granted to each executive officer are determined using a procedure approved by the Compensation Committee based upon several factors, including the executive officer’s level of responsibility, salary, performance, and the value of the stock at the time of grant. We determine the fair market value based upon the ending price of the stock on the day prior to the grant date. With the exception of promotions and new hires, we generally make these awards at the first meeting of the Compensation Committee each year following the availability of the financial results for the prior year. This timing was selected because it enabled us to consider our prior year performance and the potential recipients and our expectations for the current year. The awards also are made as early as practicable in the year in order to optimize the time-period for the incentives associated with the awards. The Compensation Committee’s schedule is determined several months in advance, and the proximity of any awards to earnings announcements or other market events is coincidental. No awards were granted in fiscal year 2009 or 2008 to the Company’s executive officers or directors.

Each grant allows the officer to acquire shares of common stock at the market price on the grant date over a specified period of time, up to 10 years. Option awards will provide a return to the executive officer only if the market price of the shares appreciates over the term of the award.

Other Elements of Compensation and Perks. In order to attract and retain employees while paying market levels of compensation, we provide our executives and other employees the following benefits and perks.

Medical Insurance. We provide to each executive officer and the executive officer’s spouse and children such health, dental and vision insurance coverage as we may from time to time make available to our other employees. We pay a portion of the premiums for this insurance for all employees.

Life and Disability Insurance. We provide to each executive officer such disability and/or life insurance as we, in our sole discretion, may from time to time make available to our other executive employees of the same level of employment.

Defined Contribution Plan. We offer the Section 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the 401(k) Plan), a tax-qualified retirement plan, to our eligible employees. Under the provisions of the plan, all participants may contribute up to 60% of their compensation, subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service.

13

We may contribute a matching contribution of not less that 50% of the employee contributions up to 6% of the employees compensation. We may also provide special discretionary contributions equal to a percentage of an employee’s annual compensation and/or an amount determined by management.

Stock Purchase Plan. Our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which qualifies under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, permits participants to purchase our common stock on favorable terms. ESPP participants are granted a purchase right to acquire shares of common stock at a price that is 85% of the stock price on either the first day of the plan period or the stock price on the last day of the plan period, whichever is lower. The purchase dates occur on the last business day of August and February of each year. To pay for the shares, each participant may authorize periodic payroll deductions from their cash compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. All payroll deductions collected from the participant in a period are automatically applied to the purchase of common stock on that period’s purchase date provided the participant remains an eligible employee and has not withdrawn from the ESPP prior to that date.

Other. We make available certain other perks or fringe benefits to executive officers and other employees, such as tuition reimbursement, travel insurance, professional society dues and food and recreational fees incidental to official company functions, including board meetings.

Severance Benefits. We believe that companies should provide reasonable severance benefits to employees. With respect to named executive officers, these severance benefits should reflect the fact that it may be difficult for them to find comparable employment within a short period of time. In the event of the termination of our named executive officers’ employment, the post-employment pay and benefits, if any, to be received by the executive officer will vary according to the basis for their termination.

Compensation of Executive Officers. On June 16, 2008, the base salary of the former CEO was reduced $165,000 to $100,000 in conjunction with a Company restructure and reduction in personnel. Effective June 15, 2009, the Board of Directors appointed the former CEO of Cortelco, a company acquired by eOn on April 1, 2009, as CEO of eOn. The current CEO has an employment contract with Cortelco and receives an annual supplement of approximately $53,000 for his services as Chief Executive Officer of eOn.

The employment agreement with Mr. James W. Hopper provides that Cortelco will employ him for a period of three years commencing on April 1, 2009 with a base salary of $177,000 subject to annual review. Upon death or disability, Mr. Hopper or his heirs will receive compensation for a period of six months. The agreement may be terminated with or without cause prior to its expiration. If such termination by the Company does not constitute a termination with cause, or if such termination by Mr. Hopper is with cause, Mr. Hopper is entitled to the greater of his base salary and benefits until the expiration of the term of the employment agreement, or one year.

Board Process. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approves all compensation and awards to executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of the CEO. For the remaining executive officers, the CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee that are subject to their review and approval. With respect to equity compensation awarded to others, the Compensation Committee grants restricted stock, generally based upon the recommendation of the CEO, and has delegated option and restricted stock granting authority to the CEO for employees who are not officers.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices of the Corporation. During fiscal year 2009, the Audit Committee met four times.

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Corporation that might bear on the auditors’ independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and discussed with the auditors their independence from the Corporation and its management.

The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees” and, with and without management present, discussed and reviewed the results of the independent auditors’ examination of the financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements of the Corporation for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, with management and the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Corporation’s financial statements, and the independent auditors have the responsibility for the examination of those statements.

In connection with the standards for independence of the Corporation’s independent accountants promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, during the Corporation’s 2009 fiscal year, the Audit Committee considered in advance of the provision of any non-audit services by the Corporation’s independent accountants whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Corporation’s independent accountants.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence.

Based upon the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Corporation’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also recommended the appointment, subject to stockholder approval, of GHP Horwath, P.C. as the Corporation’s independent auditors and the Board concurred in such recommendation.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Approval by the Company’s Board of Directors is required for any new related party transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management is responsible for identifying transactions that would be related party transactions requiring review by the Board of Directors.

Cortelco, Inc. and Cortelco Systems Holding Corp.

Cortelco, Inc. is a subsidiary of Cortelco and a supplier of Millennium and eQueue peripheral hardware. On March 8, 2008, the Company and Cortelco entered into an outsourcing agreement whereby Cortelco provided management for all of eOn’s U.S. operations. Included in the management services were sales, marketing, product management, engineering, technical support, quality assurance, accounting, and information technology. Charges incurred for products and services in fiscal year 2009 prior to the Company’s acquisition of Cortelco on April 1, 2009 were approximately $535,000 and approximately $113,000 was included in the accounts payable balance at April 1, 2009. David Lee, the Company’s Chairman, was the Chairman and a controlling shareholder of Cortelco.

Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico

Cortelco Systems Puerto Rico (“CSPR”) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company until July 31, 2002, when it was spun off to the shareholders of eOn. David Lee is a significant shareholder of CSPR. Since the spin-off, the Company has not had significant transactions with CSPR. The following represent related party transactions for each of the fiscal years ended July 31 (in thousands):

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, Chairman of eOn, 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 in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s proportionate share of CSPR’s net income was approximately $29,000 for the period from April 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009. Summarized financial information of CSPR as of July 31, 2009 and for the period from April 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009, is as follows (in thousands):

Spark Technologies, Inc.

Aelix and eOn China performed engineering development projects for Spark Technologies, Inc (“Spark”), a California company that is majority owned by David Lee, the Chairman and major shareholder of eOn. On November 1, 2006, the Company entered into a professional services agreement with Spark. Under the terms of the agreement, Spark was charged based upon actual personnel, actual operating costs and allocated general overhead based upon pro rata head count, plus a margin of 10% for these services. On April 1, 2008, an outsourcing services transfer agreement was entered into and eOn transferred all of its rights and obligations under the professional services agreement with Spark to Symbio Investment Corporation (“Symbio”). eOn holds an equity interest in Symbio.

Symbio

On August 1, 2007 and August 27, 2007, the Company made strategic investments in Symbio of $500,000 and $400,000 for 250,000 and 200,000 shares, respectively, or 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 preferred 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 for $400,000, the Company received a put option from David Lee, effective beginning January 1, 2008 and expiring 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 has been granted 45,000 shares of Symbio as compensation for Mr. Lee’s services. These shares have been valued at $90,000, and have been recorded as an increase in investments and a capital contribution by David Lee.

Symbio currently shares office space and personnel with eOn in China and is billed for expenses attributable to Symbio’s business. Symbio has contracted to assist eOn in the United States with software development. The following represent related party transactions for each of the fiscal years ended July 31 (in thousands):

Appendix A

eOn Communications Corporation

Audit Committee Charter

This Audit Committee Charter (Charter) has been adopted by the Board of Directors (the Board) of eOn Communications Corporation (the Corporation). The Audit Committee of the Board (the Committee) shall review and reassess this charter annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

Role and Independence: Organization

The Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices of the Corporation. It may also have such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to it by the Board. The membership of the Committee shall consist of at least three directors, who are each free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, may interfere with such member’s individual exercise of independent judgment. Each Committee member shall also meet the independence and financial literacy requirements for serving on audit committees, and at least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, all as set forth in the applicable rules of the NASDAQ. The Committee shall maintain free and open communication with the independent auditors and Corporation management. In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any matter relating to the Corporation’s accounting, auditing, internal control or financial reporting practices brought to its attention, with full access to all Corporation books, records, facilities and personnel. The Committee may retain outside counsel, auditors or other advisors.

One member of the Committee shall be appointed as chair. The chair shall be responsible for leadership of the Committee, including scheduling and presiding over meetings, preparing agendas, and making regular reports to the Board. The chair will also maintain regular liaison with the CEO, CFO, and the lead audit partner.

The Committee shall meet at least four times a year, or more frequently as the Committee considers necessary. At least once each year, the Committee shall have separate private meetings with the independent auditors and management.

Responsibilities

Although the Committee may wish to consider other duties from time to time, the general recurring activities of the Committee in carrying out its oversight role are described below. The Committee shall be responsible for:

• Recommending to the Board the independent auditors to be retained (or nominated for shareholder approval) to audit the financial statements of the Corporation. Such auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee, as representatives of the shareholders.

• Evaluating, together with the Board and management, the performance of the independent auditors and, where appropriate, replacing such auditors.

• Obtaining annually from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Corporation, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard Number 1. The Committee shall actively engage in a dialogue with the independent auditors with respect to any relationships that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditors and shall take, or recommend that the Board take, appropriate actions to oversee and satisfy itself as to the auditors’ independence.

• Reviewing the audited financial statements and discussing them with management and the independent auditors. These discussions shall include the matters required to be discussed under Statement of

A-1

Auditing Standards No. 61 and consideration of the quality of the Corporation’s accounting principles as applied in Financial Reporting, including a review of particularly sensitive accounting estimates, reserves and accruals, judgmental areas, audit adjustments (whether or not recorded), and other such inquiries as the Committee or the independent auditors shall deem appropriate. Based on such review, the Committee shall make its recommendation to the Board as to the inclusion of the Corporation’s audited financial statements in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

• Issuing annually a report to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

• Overseeing the relationship with the independent auditors, including discussing with the auditors the nature and rigor of the audit process, receiving and reviewing audit reports, and providing the auditors full access to the Committee (and the Board) to report on any and all appropriate matters.

• Discussing with a representative of management and the independent auditors:

(1) The interim financial information contained in the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB prior to its filing,

(2) The earnings announcement prior to its release (if practicable), and

(3) The results of the review of such information by the independent auditors.

• Discussing with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of and compliance with the Corporation’s internal controls.

• Discussing with management and/or the Corporation’s general counsel any legal matters (including the status of pending litigation) that may have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements, and any material reports or inquiries from regulatory or governmental agencies.

• Reviewing the annual management letter with the independent auditors and discuss with the independent auditors their evaluation of the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer and financial staff.

• Reviewing and approving fees for all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent audit firm.

The Committee’s job is one of oversight. Management is responsible for the preparation of the Corporation’s financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Committee and the Board recognize that management and the independent auditors have more resources and time, and more detailed knowledge and information regarding the Corporation’s accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices than the Committee does; accordingly the Committee’s oversight role does not provide any expert or special assurance as to the financial statements and other financial information provided by the Corporation to its shareholders and others.
