  Item 5.  Other Events
  
           The Company has received a notice from the Nasdaq National Market that
  the Company's common stock has failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00
  per share over the last 30 consecutive trading days as required for continued
  listing. Nasdaq's correspondence also indicated that the Company will be
  provided 90 calendar days until November 14, 2001 to regain compliance.
  
           If at any time before November 14, 2001, the bid price of the Company's
  common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the
  Nasdaq staff will determine whether the Company is in compliance with the
  listing requirement relating to minimum bid price. However, if the Company is
  unable to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price on or before November
  14, 2001, Nasdaq has indicated that it will deliver written notification of its
  determination to delist the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq National
  Market.
  
           If the Company receives notice on or after November 14, 2001 that
  Nasdaq has determined to delist its common stock, the Company would have the
  right to appeal that determination. If delisted from the Nasdaq National Market,
  the stock may be eligible to trade on another marketplace, including the Nasdaq
  Bulletin Board. However, such alternatives are generally considered to be less
  efficient markets, and our stock price, as well as the liquidity of our common
  stock, may be adversely impacted as a result.
  
           The forward-looking statements contained in this 8-K involve risks and
  uncertainties, including technical and competitive factors, which could cause
  the Company's results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from
  those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such risks are detailed in
  eOn Communications Corporation's most recent Form 10-K filing with the
  Securities and Exchange Commission.
