Note 4--Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

   In January 1997, six former employees alleging employment discrimination
commenced a suit in New Jersey Superior Court, Bergen County. Howard S. Jonas,
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has also been named as
a defendant in the action. The action claims that the Company has made hiring
and promotion decisions based upon the religious backgrounds of the relevant
individuals, in violation of federal and state law. The complaint seeks
compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount and also seeks
statutory multiples of damages. All of the claims arising under federal law
were dismissed by the Court in New Jersey Superior Court, Bergen County,
leaving the plaintiffs with only the remedies available under state law.
Further, the Court granted the Company permission to file counterclaims against
all plaintiffs for the alleged unlawful taking of business records. The Company
filed such counterclaims in October 1998. Discovery is continuing and a trial
date has been scheduled for March 7, 2000.

   In August 1998, a subsidiary of the Company, InterExchange, Inc. ("IX"),
filed a complaint in the New Jersey Superior Court, Middlesex County, against
PT-1 Communications, Inc. ("PT-1"). The action has been removed to the U.S.
District Court for the District of New Jersey. The action arises from a
contract in which IX and PT-1 agreed that PT-1 would route its traffic from
prepaid calling cards through IX's debit card platform. In the action, IX
claimed that PT-1 breached its contract with IX by failing to make required
payments under the contract, and claimed compensatory damages in the amount of
$8.5 million. In February 1999, PT-1 filed an answer and counterclaim and third
party complaint against IX, the Company, and certain of their officers,
including Howard S. Jonas. The parties have entered into a settlement
agreement.

   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 assurances in this regard, in the opinion
of the Company's management, such proceedings, as well as the aforementioned
actions, will not have a material adverse effect on results of operations 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, 1999, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

   The Company is a leading multinational carrier that provides its wholesale
and retail customers with integrated and competitively priced international and
domestic long distance telecommunications service, Internet access and, through
its Net2Phone products and services, Internet telephony services. The Company
delivers these services over a high-quality network consisting of 70 switches
in the U.S. and Europe and owned and leased capacity on 16 undersea fiber optic
cables. In addition, the Company obtains additional transmission capacity from
other carriers.

   The Company delivers its international traffic worldwide pursuant to its
agreements with U.S.-based carriers, foreign carriers, and 23 of the companies
that are primarily responsible for providing telecommunications services in
particular countries (many of which are commonly referred to as "PTTs"). In
addition, the Company maintains a high-speed network that carries Internet
traffic in order to support both its Internet access services and Net2Phone's
Internet telephony services.

 Three Months Ended October 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended October 31,
 1998

Results of Operations

   Revenues. Revenues increased 112.7%, from approximately $133.3 million for
the three months ended October 31, 1998 to approximately $283.4 million for the
three months ended October 31, 1999. Telecommunications revenues increased
117.0%, from approximately $123.7 million for the three months ended October
31, 1998 to approximately $268.5 million for the three months ended October 31,
1999. Internet access revenues decreased 16.9%, from approximately $4.3 million
for the three months ended October 31, 1998 to approximately $3.5 million for
the three months ended October 31, 1999. Internet telephony revenues increased
114.7%, from approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended October 31,
1998 to approximately $11.4 million for the three months ended October 31,
1999.

   Telecommunications revenues increased primarily as a result of a 119.6%
increase in minutes of use from approximately 468.9 million for the three
months ended October 31, 1998 to approximately 1.03 billion for the three
months ended October 31, 1999. The increase in minutes was primarily due to the
addition of wholesale carrier service clients, increased usage by existing
clients, and increased marketing of the Company's prepaid calling cards. The
addition of wholesale carrier services clients, increased use by existing
clients and the inclusion of $20 million in revenue related to a one-time
tariff opportunity resulted in an increase in wholesale telecommunications
revenues of 184.4%, from approximately $48.4 million for the three months ended
October 31, 1998 to approximately $137.8 million for the three months ended
October 31, 1999. As a percentage of telecommunications revenues, wholesale
telecommunications revenues increased from approximately 39.2% to 51.3%, as the
increase in wholesale revenues in dollar terms was greater than that of other
business lines. Revenues from retail telecommunications services increased
73.7%, from approximately $75.3 million for the three months ended October 31,
1998 to approximately $130.7 million for the three months ended October 31,
1999 as a result of increased marketing efforts for the Company's prepaid
calling cards. Prepaid calling card sales as a percentage of retail
telecommunication services revenues increased from

                                       8
<PAGE>

89.4% for the three months ended October 31, 1998 to 95.0% for the three months
ended October 31, 1999. As a percentage of overall telecommunications revenues,
retail telecommunications revenues decreased from approximately 60.8% in the
three months ended October 31, 1998 to approximately 48.7% for the three months
ended October 31, 1999.

   As a percentage of total revenues, Internet access revenues decreased from
approximately 3.2% for the three months ended October 31, 1998 to approximately
1.3% for the three months ended October 31, 1999. This decrease was due to a
dollar decrease in Internet access revenues due to a decrease in total dial-up
subscribers as well as the substantial increase in telecommunications revenues
during the same period.

   Internet telephony revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 4.0% for
the three months ended October 31, 1999, unchanged from the three months ended
October 31, 1998. The increase in Internet telephony revenues, in dollar terms,
was primarily due to an increase in billed-minute usage resulting from
increased marketing of the Company's Internet telephony products and services.

   Direct Cost of Revenues. The Company's direct cost of revenues increased by
127.8%, from approximately $101.0 million in the three months ended October 31,
1998 to approximately $230.2 million in the three months ended October 31,
1999. As a percentage of total revenues, these costs increased from 75.8% for
the three months ended October 31, 1998 to 81.2% for the three months ended
October 31, 1999. The dollar increase is due primarily to increases in
underlying carrier and connectivity costs, as the Company's telecommunications
minutes of use, and associated revenues, grew substantially. As a percentage of
total revenues, the increase in direct costs reflects lower gross margins
associated with wholesale telecommunications services as compared to retail
telecommunications services as well as the lower gross margins related to
telecommunications revenues as compared with Internet access services. Gross
margins were also adversely affected by delayed network deployment.

   Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
costs increased 185.1%, from approximately $17.1 million in the three months
ended October 31, 1998 to approximately $48.6 million in the three months ended
October 31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, these costs increased from
12.8% for the three months ended October 31, 1998 to 17.2% for the three months
ended October 31, 1999. The increase in these costs is due primarily to
increased sales and marketing efforts for retail services, including prepaid
calling cards, domestic and international long distance; and for Net2Phone, as
well as increased salaries, facilities costs and professional fees related to
the expansion of the Company's infrastructure to facilitate its rapid sales
growth. Included in salaries is $2.9 million of non-cash compensation as a
result of option grants made by our Net2Phone subsidiary during the three
months ended October 31, 1999.

   Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
36.0%, from approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended October 31,
1998 to approximately $7.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 1999.
As a percentage of revenues, these costs decreased from 4.1% for the three
months ended October 31, 1998 to 2.6% for the three months ended October 31,
1999. These costs increased, in dollar terms, primarily as a result of the
Company's higher fixed asset base during the three months ended October 31,
1999 as compared with the three months ended October 31, 1998, reflecting the
Company's efforts to expand its telecommunications network infrastructure and
other facilities. The Company anticipates that depreciation and amortization
costs will continue to increase as the Company continues to add to its asset
base, allowing it to implement its growth strategy.

   Income from Operations. The Company recorded a loss from operations of
approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 1999,
contrasting with income from operations of approximately $9.7 million for the
three months ended October 31, 1998. Income from operations for the Company's
telecommunications business (after the effect of minority interests) decreased
from approximately $11.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 1998 to
approximately $9.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 1999. As a
percentage of telecommunication revenues, income from operations for the
telecommunications business decreased to 3.4% for the three months ended
October 31, 1999 from 9.5% for the three months ended October 31, 1998, due to
decreased margins in the carrier wholesale and retail telecommunications
businesses, and an increase in sales and marketing costs for retail
telecommunications services.

                                       9
<PAGE>

   Loss from operations for the Company's Internet access business increased to
approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 1999 from
approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 1998. The
increased loss is primarily due to the decrease in Internet access revenues
resulting from a decrease in total dial-up subscribers, as well as an increase
in marketing expenses.

   Loss from operations of the Net2Phone subsidiary increased to approximately
$9.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 1999, compared to a loss of
approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 1998. This
increase is due primarily to the non-cash compensation charge of $2.9 million
described above, coupled with a substantial increase in both sales and
marketing expenses as well as general and administrative expenses incurred as
Net2Phone expanded distribution relationships, corporate infrastructure and
human resources.

   Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $18.9
million for the three months ended October 31, 1999, compared to approximately
$3.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 1998. Income tax benefit of
approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 1999, and
approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 1998 related
to the tax deduction upon the exercise of stock options was recorded directly
into additional paid-in capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 General

   Historically, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements through a
combination of cash flow from operating activities, sales of equity and debt
securities and borrowings from third parties. The Company received
approximately $1.2 million upon the exercise of stock options and warrants in
the three months ended October 31, 1999.

   In May 1999, The Company entered into a credit agreement with Lehman
Commercial Paper Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., Bankers Trust Company and a
Syndicate of lenders. These institutions have committed to provide us with a
$160 million credit facility that includes term loans in an aggregate amount of
up to $135 million and revolving loans in an amount of up to $25 million and an
additional uncommitted amount of up to $100 million. Bankers Trust Company
serves as administrative agent for the facility. The Company used the proceeds
from the initial borrowings under the credit facility of $108.1 million from
the initial borrowings under the credit facility to purchase more than 99% of
its outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes due 2006, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, that the Company purchased in connection with its tender offer for
these securities. The amount of $75.0 million of the initial borrowings
currently bears interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum and the remaining $33.1
million of the initial borrowings currently bears interest at a rate of 8.25%
per annum.

   As of October 31, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $204.8 million and working capital of approximately
$262.1 million. The Company generated negative cash flow from operating
activities of approximately $17.3 million during the three months ended October
31, 1999, compared with negative cash flow from operating activities of
approximately $3.9 million during the three months ended October 31, 1998. The
Company's cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to
quarter, depending upon the timing of operating cash receipts and payments,
especially accounts receivable and accounts payable. Accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses have increased from period to period as
the Company's businesses have grown.

   The Company's capital expenditures were approximately $11.2 million in the
three months ended October 31, 1999, compared to approximately $12.7 million in
the three months ended October 31, 1998, as the Company expanded its
international and domestic telecommunications network infrastructure. The
Company financed a portion of its capital expenditures through capital leases
and notes payable.

   The Company experiences intense competition in its telecommunications
business. The long distance telecommunications industry has been characterized
by declines in both per-minute revenues and per-minute

                                       10
<PAGE>

costs. In the past, these factors have tended to generally offset each other.
However, as per-minute pricing continues to erode, gross margins could come
under increasing pressure. The Company's long term strategy involves
terminating a larger proportion of minutes on the Company's own network,
thereby lowering costs and preserving margins even in a weaker price
environment. However, in the short term, the demand for usage might outpace the
rate of deployment of additional network capacity. As such, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its gross margins at the
current level, in the face of lower per-minute revenues.

   In addition, the Company will need to make significant capital expenditures
in order to expand its network capacity. If the Company is unable to raise
sufficient capital to meet its spending requirements, the Company's network
expansion, and the associated margin improvement, would be delayed.

 Net2Phone Financings

   In May 1999, a group of strategic investors purchased from Net2Phone, in the
aggregate, 3,140,000 shares of Net2Phone Series A Preferred Stock convertible
into 9,420,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 180,000
shares of Net2Phone common stock, for a net aggregate purchase price of
$29.9 million. Additionally, Net2Phone issued a warrant to purchase 92,400
shares of its common stock to Hambrecht & Quist as part of its fee as placement
agent with respect to this transaction.

   In August 1999, Net2Phone completed its Initial Public Offering of 6.2
million shares, receiving approximately $85.3 million in net proceeds. At that
time, the Series A Preferred Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock. The
Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $44.0 million as a result of
this transaction.

   In December 1999, Net2Phone completed a Secondary Offering of 6.3 million
shares. As part of the Offering, the Company sold 2.2 million Net2Phone shares,
yielding approximately $114.4 million in net proceeds. Subsequent to the sale
of these shares, the Company used approximately $35.0 million of the proceeds
to reduce the outstanding balance of its bank credit facility.

 Other Sources and Uses of Resources

   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 telephony business. From time to
time, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of companies, technologies,
products and customer accounts that complement its businesses.

   The Company believes that, based upon its present business plan, the
Company's existing cash resources, expected cash flow from operating activities
and borrowings under its credit facility 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 if the Company acquires the business or assets of another
company, or if the Company's cash flow from operations after the end of such
period 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
anticipated expansion, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Year 2000

   The Year 2000 issue affects Company's installed computer systems, network
systems and software applications due to the fact that many computers and
applications define dates by the last two digits of the year

                                       11
<PAGE>

and "00" may not be properly recognized by such programs as the year 2000. The
Company has dedicated the time and resources it deems appropriate to address
and correct potential Year 2000 problems.

   The Company has established a Year 2000 compliance committee (the
"Committee"). The Committee's objectives are to eliminate any possible
disruptions in services and operations that may result from the date change in
the Year 2000. The Committee has developed a plan to identify and repair any
systems that may be affected by the Year 2000. The plan consists of (1)
identifying and inventorying all systems; (2) assessing and testing the systems
for Year 2000 compliance; (3) modifying, upgrading or replacing any non-
compliant systems; and (4) testing the corrected systems to ensure compliance.

   The Committee has implemented this plan throughout the company and, in
addition to reviewing its own systems, the Company has initiated inquiries and
submitted requests to its third-party vendors and service providers to obtain
information regarding their compliance with the Year 2000.

   Inventory, assessment, remediation and testing of software applications and
hardware systems, including network systems, is substantially complete. The
Company completed the modification, updating or replacement of any systems that
to its knowledge are not Year 2000 compliant in November 1999. Testing of the
corrected systems has been implemented and will continue on an ongoing basis
through October 2000 due to the date October 10, 2000, being the first
occurrence of a date requiring the use of eight digits to define the date.

   In particular, the Company has focused on the testing and remediation of its
switching facilities to ensure that its network operations through which it
provides communications services to its customers are not disrupted by the Year
2000. The Company is confident that its own network systems are Year 2000
compliant due to the nature and extent of the testing the Company has conducted
and continues to implement on such systems.

   The greatest risk to the Company's ability to provide communications
services is the failure of third party service providers to be Year 2000
compliant. While many other carriers and Internet providers have plans to
independently become Year 2000 compliant, there is the risk that some
(particularly smaller carriers and providers) will not address or properly
resolve Year 2000 issues. If this were to occur, the Company would be affected
only to the same degree as other carriers and Internet providers in the
communications industry.

   In providing telecommunications services, the Company connects directly and
indirectly with thousands of other carriers through switches of the Company and
other carriers. The Company has obtained written assurances and information
from its primary vendors and providers regarding their Year 2000 compliance
and, to the best of the Company's knowledge based on such assurances and
information, the Company believes there is not a significant risk that the
Company's provision of telecommunication services will be materially impacted.
In addition, it is unlikely that a network failure of a smaller carrier would
have a significant impact on the Company's ability to provide
telecommunications services, however, fully addressing any of these risks is
beyond the Company's control. In addition, the Company is unable to fully
assess the degree to which the manufacturers of switches and similar equipment
have assessed and remediated their equipment and software since most are
manufactured and maintained by independent third parties. However, most
switches are manufactured by manufacturers with a wide range of customers,
therefore, such manufacturers would have a vested interest in ensuring Year
2000 compliance and prompt remediation of any Year 2000 issues.

   To date, the Company has incurred expenses of less than $1.0 million in
connection with its remediation of Year 2000 related issues. The Company
constantly monitors its progress of the Year 2000 plan and anticipates that it
will resolve any outstanding internal issues before the end of 1999.
Contingency plans will be developed and implemented before the end of 1999 for
critical systems on an as-needed basis should the Company identify any areas
for which such plans are appropriate.

European Currency Conversion

   In January 1999, a new currency called the "euro" was introduced in certain
Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU") countries. The EMU countries adopted the
euro as their common legal currency, and through January 1, 2002, both the
existing national currency of the respective EMU country and the euro will be
accepted as legal currency. Beginning in 2002, all EMU countries are expected
to operate with the euro as their single currency. Uncertainty exists as to the
effect the euro currency will have on the market for international
telecommunications services. Additionally, all of the final rules and
regulations have not yet been defined and finalized by the European Commission
with regard to the euro currency. IDT's management is still evaluating the
effect that the introduction of the euro will have on its business, but it does
not anticipate, based on information currently available, that the euro will
have a material adverse impact the Company's operations and sales.
