Note 3 - Acquisitions

         During the nine months ended April 30, 1997, the Company  purchased the
equipment and networks of two of its alliance  partners for  approximately  $4.4
million of which the Company issued two promissory notes totaling $1,440,000. In
addition, to pay a portion of the purchase price the Company borrowed $2,250,000
in a four year note with  interest only payments for the first six months at 11%
per annum and 42 equal  monthly  payments of  principal  and interest at 14% per
annum and convertible  into Common Stock at the lower of $14 or the market price
at the date of  conversion  per share at the  option of the  holder  after  nine
months of issuance.

         In August 1996, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding
stock of Yovelle Renaissance  Corporation,  which owns the GENIE online service,
for $200,000.  The purchase  price  included the assumption of a note payable of
$750,000  to GE  Information  Services,  due and paid by  December  15, 1996 and
resulted in the recording of Goodwill of  $1,372,289  which is included in other
assets.

Note 4 - Loans payable and capital lease obligations

         During the nine months  ended  April 30,  1997,  the  Company  borrowed
$8,190,000  consisting of five interest bearing notes  collateralized by certain
equipment owned by the Company and with terms ranging from twenty-four months to
forty-eight months. One note of $2,250,000 can be converted into Common Stock at
the option of the holder.

         The Company also entered into various capital lease arrangements during
the nine  months  ended April 30, 1997 to acquire  computer  and  communications
related equipment  totaling  approximately  $5.1 million with terms ranging from
twenty-four months to sixty months and collateralized by the equipment.

         The Company  received an advance from Howard Jonas, its Chairman of the
Board and Chief  Executive  Officer of  $1,000,000  in  January  1997 and repaid
$885,000 of the advance in March 1997.

Note 5 - Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

         The  Company  has  received  a  complaint  from five  former  employees
alleging  religious  discrimination  under Title 7 of the Civil  Rights Act. The
Company  and its counsel  believe  that these  allegations  are  unfounded,  and
intends to defend this matter vigorously.

         The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims which have
arisen  in the  ordinary  course  of its  business  and have  not  been  finally
adjudicated.  Although  there can be no assurance,  the opinion of management is
that  settlement of these actions,  when ultimately  concluded,  will not have a
material  adverse effect on results of  operations,  cash flows or the financial
condition of the Company.

ITEM 2.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  following  information  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  and the associated
notes thereto of this Quarterly Report, and the audited  consolidated  financial
statements  and the notes thereto and  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations of the Company  contained in the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1996, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

         IDT is an  international  telecommunications  company  offering a broad
range of  competitively  priced  long-distance  telephone,  and Internet  access
services in the U.S. and abroad and recently began offering  Internet  telephony
services.

         The Company entered the international  call  reorigination  business in
1990 to capitalize  on the  opportunity  created by the spread  between U.S. and
foreign-originated  international  long-distance  telephone rates. IDT leveraged
the  expertise   derived  from,  and  calling  volume  generated  by,  its  call
reorigination  business  to enter the  domestic  long-distance  business in late
1993, by reselling long-distance  telecommunications  services of other carriers
to  IDT's  domestic  customers.  As  a  value-added  service  for  its  domestic
long-distance  customers,  the Company began offering  Internet  access in early
1994,  eventually  offering dial-up and dedicated Internet access to individuals
and businesses as stand-alone  services.  In 1995, IDT began  reselling to other
long-distance  carriers  access to the  favorable  telephone  rates and  special
tariffs the Company receives because of the calling volume generated by its call
reorigination  customers.  In August 1996,  IDT entered the  Internet  telephony
market with its introduction of Net2Phone.

         Revenues from the Company's  telecommunications  operations are derived
primarily from the following  activities:  (i) international  long-distance call
reorigination   services;   (ii)  resale  of  long-distance   minutes  to  other
long-distance  carriers;  and (iii)  marketing to individuals  and businesses of
domestic  long-distance  services  provided  by  WorldCom.   Revenues  from  the
Company's  Internet  operations are primarily  derived from  providing  Internet
access services to individuals and businesses.

         The Company's  Internet access service revenues depend primarily on the
number of  subscribers  to the  Company's  services  and the  types of  accounts
subscribed  for. In February  1997, the Company  shifted its dial-up  division's
marketing  efforts from aggressive mass marketing to new reseller programs which
entailed  significantly  lower  selling  costs and resulted in a lower  customer
acquisition rate.  Whereas revenues from monthly  subscribers have substantially
increased  over the last year as a result  of the  significant  increase  in the
Company's  average monthly  subscriber base,  revenues from monthly  subscribers
have  recently  decreased  from the quarter ended April 30, 1997 compared to the
prior  quarter ended January 31, 1997 as a result of a decrease in the Company's
subscriber base.

         The Company's  ability to achieve revenue growth and  profitability  is
dependent  upon its  ability to  acquire  and retain  customers.  The  Company's
ability to improve  operating margins will also depend in part on its ability to
retain  its  customers  and  there  can  be no  assurances  that  the  Company's
investments in telecommunications infrastructure,  customer support capabilities
and software releases will improve customer retention.  The Company's strategies
and commitments have required substantial  up-front  expenditures for additional
personnel,  marketing,  facilities,   infrastructure,  product  development  and
capital  equipment  and have and may  continue to  adversely  affect  short-term
operating  results.  There can be no assurance that revenue growth will continue
or that the  Company  will in the future  achieve or  sustain  profitability  or
positive cash flow from operations on either a quarterly or annual basis.


Nine Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended April 30, 1996

Results of Operations

              Revenues, Revenues increased 173% from approximately $34.5 million
for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 to approximately  $94.2 million for the
nine months ended April 30, 1997. Revenues from the Company's telecommunications
operations  increased 200% from approximately  $22.0 million for the nine months
ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $66.1  million for the nine months ended
April 30, 1997. Revenues from the Company's Internet  operations  increased 113%
from  approximately  $12.5  million for the nine months  ended April 30, 1996 to
approximately  $26.8  million for the nine  months  ended  April 30,  1997.  The
increase in telecommunications  revenues was due primarily to a 331% increase in
rebilled  long-distance minutes from 33.5 million minutes to approximately 144.5
million minutes. The increase in rebilling  long-distance minutes was due to the
addition  of  wholesale   carrier   clients  and  a   substantial   increase  in
international  call  reorigination  customers.  The number of international call
reorigination customers increased from approximately 14,600 at April 30, 1996 to
45,200  customers at April 30, 1997. The addition of wholesale  carrier  clients
resulted  in an  increase  in  long-distance  arbitrage  revenues  of 255%  from
approximately  $11.2  million  for the  nine  months  ended  April  30,  1996 to
approximately  $39.7million  for the nine  months  ended  April 30,  1997.  As a
percentage of  telecommunications  revenues and overall revenues,  long-distance
arbitrage  revenues  increased  from  approximately  50.8% to 60.1% and 32.4% to
42.2%,  respectively.  As a  percentage  of total  revenues,  Internet  revenues
decreased as a percentage  of total  revenues from  approximately  36.3% for the
nine  months  ended April 30,  1996 to  approximately  28.4% for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997. The increase in Internet  revenues in dollar terms was due
primarily  to the  increase in the  dial-up  subscribers  base,  and to a lesser
degree increased revenues from on-line services and dedicated customers from the
nine months ended April 30, 1996 to the nine months  ended April 30,  1997.  The
decrease  in  Internet  revenues  as a  percentage  was due to the  increase  of
telecommunications  revenue as compared to Internet  revenue.  Internet revenues
also included  approximately $2.8 million of online service revenues million for
the nine months  ended April  30,1997 and $0 for the nine months ended April 30,
1996.  Net2Phone  revenues  for the  nine  months  ended  April  30,  1997  were
approximately  $1.3million,  compared to $0 for the nine months  ended April 30,
1996.

         Direct Cost of Revenues.  Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of
the costs paid to carriers  for the  transmission  and  termination  of switched
minutes through IDT's facilities,  and to a lesser extent, fees paid to alliance
partners,  leased  circuits  and network  costs,  local  access  costs,  network
connectivity  costs,  switch  maintenance  costs, and online network  processing
costs.   The  Company's   direct  cost  of  revenues   increased  by  179%  from
approximately  $22.4  million  in the  nine  months  ended  April  30,  1996  to
approximately  $62.6  million in the nine  months  ended  April 30,  1997.  As a
percentage  of  revenues,  these  costs  increased  from 64.8% to 66.4% and as a
percentage  of  revenues  in the nine  months  ended  April  30,  1996 and 1997,
respectively.  The increase in absolute dollars is primarily due to increases in
underlying carrier costs as the Company's  telecommunications minutes of use and
associated revenue grew  substantially.  To a lesser extent, the increase is due
to the increase in fees paid to alliance partners,  the costs of leased circuits
and networks and of access lines and network  connectivity to support subscriber
growth in both Internet  access and  international  call  reorigination  and the
online  network  processing  costs.  The  Company  expects  that  direct cost of
revenues  will  continue to increase  in  absolute  dollar  terms as the Company
expands its telecommunications base.

         Selling,    General   and   Administrative.    Selling,   general   and
administrative  costs increased 46% from approximately $22.6 million in the nine
months ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $33.0  million in the nine months
ended April 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenues,  these costs  decreased  from
65.4% to 35.0% in the nine months  ended April 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively.
The increase in these costs in dollar terms was due primarily to the addition of
sales,  marketing and technical and customer support  personnel hired to support
the growth of the Company's Internet access business,  the increased advertising
to attract  Internet  dial-up  subscribers  and costs incurred in developing and
marketing Net2Phone.  The decrease in selling , general and administrative costs
as a  percentage  of  total  revenue  was  primarily  due  to  the  increase  of
telecommunications   revenue  as  compared  to  Internet  revenue.  The  Company
anticipates  selling,  general  and  administrative  costs in dollar  terms will
continue to increase as the Company  implements  its growth  strategy,  but will
decrease as a percentage of total  revenues as a result of the shift of focus to
the telecommunications division and away from dial-up Internet access.

         Depreciation and  Amortization.  Depreciation  and  amortization  costs
increased  489% from  approximately  $571,000 in the nine months ended April 30,
1996 to approximately $3.4 million in the nine months ended April 30, 1997. As a
percentage  of  revenues,  these costs  increased  from 1.7% to 3.6% in the nine
months  ended April 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively.  These costs  increased in
absolute  terms  primarily as a result of the Company's  higher fixed asset base
during the nine months  ended  April 30,  1997 as compared  with the nine months
ended  April   30,1996  due  to  the   Company's   installation   of  additional
Company-owned POPs,  enhancement its network infrastructure and expanding of its
facilities.  The Company  anticipates  depreciation and amortization  costs will
continue to increase as the Company continues to implement its growth strategy.

         Income  (loss)  from   Operations.   Income  from  operations  for  the
telecommunications  segment increased to approximately  $3.6 million in the nine
months ended April 30, 1997 from $2.2 million in the nine months ended April 30,
1996 and as a percentage of  telecommunication  revenues  decreased to 5.4% from
10.1%.  The increase in dollars  resulted  principally  from  increased  revenue
generated by the  expansion  of  operations.  The  decrease as a  percentage  of
telecommunication   revenues   resulted  from  increased   selling  general  and
administrative  expenses as well as the increased  percentage  of  long-distance
arbitrage revenues which typically carry lower margins. Loss from operations for
the Internet access segment decreased to approximately  $7.2 million in the nine
months ended April 30, 1997 from approximately  $13.0 million in the nine months
ended April 30, 1996. The loss from  operations from the Internet access segment
was  principally  due to the initial costs of acquiring  customers and increased
personnel and  facilities  costs to sustain  growth.  The decreased  loss of the
Internet  access  segment  is largely  due to the  refocusing  of its  marketing
efforts  from  aggressive  mass  marketing to new  reseller  programs.  The loss
generated from the development and marketing of Net2Phone was approximately $1.2
million and $0 for the nine months ended April 30, 1997and 1996 respectively.

         Income  Taxes.  The Company  records  income taxes in  accordance  with
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes"  ("SFAS  109").  The  Company did not record an income tax benefit in the
nine months ended April 30, 1996 or 1997,  as the  realization  of available tax
losses was not probable.

Three Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 1996

Results of Operations

         Revenues.  Revenues increased 89% from approximately  $18.2 million for
the three months  ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $34.5  million for the
three   months   ended   April   30,   1997.   Revenues   from   the   Company's
telecommunications  operations  increased 130% from approximately  $11.3 million
for the three months ended April 30, 1996 to approximately $26.1 million for the
three  months  ended  April  30,  1997.  Revenues  from the  Company's  Internet
operations  increased 10% from  approximately  $6.9 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $7.6  million for the three months ended
April 30, 1997. The increase in telecommunications revenues was due primarily to
a 318%  increase in  rebilled  long-distance  minutes  from  approximately  15.3
million minutes to approximately 64.0 million minutes. The increase in rebilling
long-distance minutes was due to the addition of wholesale carrier clients and a
substantial increase in international call reorigination  customers.  The number
of  international  call  reorigination  customers  increased from  approximately
14,600 at April 30, 1996 to  approximately  45,200  customers at April 30, 1997.
The  addition  of  wholesale   carrier  clients   resulted  in  an  increase  in
long-distance arbitrage revenues of 137% from approximately $7.2 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $17.1 million for the three
months ended April 30, 1997. As a percentage of telecommunications  revenues and
overall revenues,  long-distance arbitrage revenues increased from approximately
63.5% to 65.5%  and  39.4% to  49.5%,  respectively.  As a  percentage  of total
revenues,  Internet revenues  decreased from  approximately  37.8% for the three
months  ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  21.9% for the three months ended
April 30,  1997.  The  increase  in Internet  revenues  in dollar  terms was due
primarily to increased  revenues from on-line services and dedicated  customers.
The decrease in Internet  revenues as a percentage of total  revenues was due to
the  increase of  telecommunications  revenue as  compared to Internet  revenue.
Internet revenues included approximately $617,000 of online service revenues for
the three months ended April 30,1997 and $0 for the three months ended April 30,
1996.  Net2Phone  revenues  for the  three  months  ended  April  30,  1997 were
approximately  $836,000,  compared  to $0 for the three  months  ended April 30,
1996.

         Direct Cost of Revenues.  Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of
the costs paid to carriers  for the  transmission  and  termination  of switched
minutes through IDT's facilities,  and to a lesser extent, fees paid to alliance
partners,  leased  circuits  and network  costs,  local  access  costs,  network
connectivity  costs,  switch  maintenance  costs, and online network  processing
costs. The Company's direct cost of revenues increased by 93% from approximately
$12.3  million in the three months ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $23.7
million in the three months ended April 30, 1997.  As a percentage  of revenues,
these costs  increased  from 67.4% to 68.7% in the three  months ended April 30,
1996 and 1997,  respectively.  The increase in absolute dollars is primarily due
to increases in underlying  carrier  costs as the  Company's  telecommunications
minutes of use, and associated revenue, grew substantially.  To a lesser extent,
the increase is due to the increase in the costs of leased circuits and networks
of access lines and network connectivity to maintain the subscriber base in both
Internet  access  and growth in the  international  call  reorigination  and the
online  network  processing  costs.  The  Company  expects  that  direct cost of
revenues  will  continue to increase  in  absolute  dollar  terms as the Company
expands its telecommunications base.

         Selling,    General   and   Administrative.    Selling,   general   and
administrative costs decreased 10% from approximately $10.1 million in the three
months  ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $9.2 million in the three months
ended April 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenues,  these costs  decreased  from
55.6% to 26.6% in the three months ended April 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs in dollar terms and as
a percentage  of total  revenues was  primarily due to the shift of focus of the
Internet  division's  marketing  efforts from  aggressive  mass marketing to new
reseller  programs which entail  significantly  lower selling costs. The Company
anticipates  selling,  general  and  administrative  costs in dollar  terms will
increase as the Company  implements its growth strategy,  but will decrease as a
percentage of total revenues.

         Depreciation and  Amortization.  Depreciation  and  amortization  costs
increased 398% from  approximately  $265,000 in the three months ended April 30,
1996 to approximately  $1.3 million in the three months ended April 30, 1997. As
a percentage of revenues,  these costs  increased from 1.5% to 3.8% in the three
months  ended April 30, 1996 and 1997,  respectively.  These costs  increased in
absolute  terms  primarily as a result of the Company's  higher fixed asset base
during the three months  ended April 30, 1997 as compared  with the three months
ended  April  30,1996  due  to  the  Company's  efforts  to  install  additional
Company-owned   POPs,   enhance  its  network   infrastructure  and  expand  its
facilities.  The Company  anticipates  depreciation and amortization  costs will
continue to increase as the Company continues to implement its growth strategy.

         Income  (loss)  from   Operations.   Income  from  operations  for  the
telecommunications  segment increased to approximately $1.5 million in the three
months  ended April 30, 1997 from  $787,000 in the three  months ended April 30,
1996 and as a percentage of  telecommunication  revenues  decreased to 5.8% from
6.9%.  The  increase in dollars  resulted  principally  from  increased  revenue
generated by the  expansion  of  operations.  The  decrease as a  percentage  of
telecommunication   revenues   resulted   from  the   increased   percentage  of
long-distance  arbitrage revenues which typically carry lower margins. Loss from
operations  for the Internet  access  segment  decreased to  approximately  $1.1
million in the three months ended April 30, 1997 from approximately $5.3 million
in the three  months  ended April 30, 1996.  The loss from  operations  from the
Internet  access segment was  principally  due to the initial costs of acquiring
customers,  increased  personnel  and  facilities  costs to  sustain  growth and
substantial marketing expenses to create customer awareness.  The decreased loss
of the  Internet  access  segment is largely due to a reduction  of the selling,
general and administrative  costs as the company refocused its marketing efforts
from aggressive mass marketing to new reseller programs. The loss generated from
the development and marketing of Net2Phone was approximately $129,000 and $0 for
the three months ended April 30, 1997, and April 30, 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Historically,   the  Company  has  satisfied   its  cash   requirements
principally through a combination of cash flow from operations,  sales of equity
securities and borrowings from third parties  (including its  stockholders).  In
Fiscal 1996, the Company raised  $3,477,000  through the issuance of notes.  The
proceeds  from  the  issuance  of the  notes  were  used for  general  corporate
purposes,  including  working capital.  In March 1996, the Company  completed an
initial public  offering of 4,600,000  shares of Common Stock for $10 per share.
The Company realized  approximately $41.5 million from this offering.  A portion
of the  proceeds  were  used  to  repay  $3,477,000,  the  principal  amount  of
short-term  notes  previously  issued during Fiscal 1996. In connection with the
repayment of such notes,  the Company incurred  prepayment  penalty of $233,500.
Such prepayment  penalty was classified as an  extraordinary  loss for the early
retirement of debt in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended July 31, 1996.  The Company used the  remaining net proceeds from the
offering  for  general  corporate  purposes,  capital  expenditures  and working
capital,  including  to (i) expand and improve the  Company's  Internet  network
infrastructure,  (ii) increase the Company's sales and marketing efforts,  (iii)
expand and improve the Company's customer support and fulfillment  capabilities,
(iv) intensify the Company's  research and development  activities,  (v) develop
new  Internet   applications   and  content,   and  (vi)  expand  the  Company's
telecommunications  operations.  As of April 30, 1997, the Company had cash, and
cash  equivalents  of $6.6  million and working  capital of  approximately  $5.8
million.

         The Company generated  negative cash flow from operating  activities of
approximately  $10.6  million  during  the nine  months  ended  April 30,  1997,
compared to a negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $4.6
million  during the nine months ended April 30,  1996.  The changes in operating
cash flows from the nine months  ended  April 30, 1996 to the nine months  ended
April 30,  1997 were  primarily  due to  increases  in accounts  receivable  and
prepaid  and other  assets in relation  to  accounts  payable and other  current
liabilities.  Cash flow from  operations  varied  significantly  from quarter to
quarter,  depending  upon the timing of operating  cash  receipts and  payments,
especially accounts receivable and accounts payable. Accounts receivable (net of
allowances) were  approximately $6.7 million and $13.5 million at April 30, 1996
and 1997,  respectively.  Accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable  and  accrued
expenses have increased period to period as the Company's businesses have grown.

         Payments on purchases of fixed assets increased from approximately $6.4
million in nine months  ended April 30, 1996 to  approximately  $7.4  million in
nine  months  ended  April  30,  1997,  primarily  as a result of  purchases  of
equipment to support  expansion of the  Company's  network  infrastructure,  and
expansion of the  Company's  facilities.  The Company is upgrading and expanding
its  existing  network  infrastructure  by  building  a  new,  higher  capacity,
frame-relay based network backbone and through international network expansion.

         The   Company    experiences    intense   competition   in   both   its
telecommunications  and Internet access  businesses.  If additional  competition
were to lead to significant price reductions cash flows from operations would be
materially adversely affected.

         The Company intends to, where appropriate,  make strategic acquisitions
to increase  its  telecommunications  customer  base.  The Company may also make
strategic acquisitions related to its Internet business.  From time to time, the
Company evaluates potential  acquisitions of companies,  technologies,  products
and customer  accounts that  complement  the Company's  businesses.  In the nine
months ended April 30, 1997, the Company purchased the equipment and networks of
two of its alliance partners for approximately $4.4 million.  The purchase price
includes cash of $2,250,000,  which was financed by a four year note, assumption
of trade liabilities of approximately  $280,000,  excluding  $429,000 due to the
Company) and the issuance of promissory notes totaling approximately  $1,440,000
of which $690,000 is a two year note at 8.25%  interest per annum,  and $750,000
is a four year note at 10% per annum. No additional  acquisitions  are currently
contemplated.

         The Company  believes that,  based upon its present  business plan, its
existing cash  resources and expected cash flow from  operating  activities  and
equipment financing will be sufficient to meet its currently anticipated working
capital  and  capital  expenditure  requirements  for at least  the next  twelve
months.  If the Company's  growth exceeds  current  expectations  or the Company
expedites or expands its network  expansion or if the Company cannot finance its
new equipment or if the Company's cash flow from  operations is  insufficient to
meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements,  the Company will
need to raise  additional  capital from equity or debt sources.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise such capital on favorable terms
or at all.  If the  Company is unable to obtain  such  additional  capital,  the
Company  may be  required  to  reduce  the  scope of its  presently  anticipated
expansion,  which could adversely  affect the Company's  business and results of
operations and its ability to compete.
