IDT Corporation Acquires Expercom Pre-Paid Card Business From Belgacom Acquisition Increases IDT’s Presence in Europe

Newark, N.J. and London UK, April 21, 2005 – IDT Europe announced today that it has acquired the Expercom pre-paid phone card business from Belgacom, Belgium’s leading telecommunications company. The deal strengthens IDT’s presence in Europe. IDT Europe is a division of IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C), an international telecom, technology and entertainment company.

Expercom markets calling cards throughout Belgium. The cards are available at post offices, railway stations, and retail location such as newspaper stands, neighborhood shops and supermarkets. Expercom’s cards provide low cost, high quality phone service within Belgium and to more than 200 countries worldwide. Calls may be placed from private, public or mobile phones. For the first part of 2004, Expercom calling card sales averaged more than 250,000 cards a month.

“This acquisition provides IDT with a solid platform for continued expansion across Europe, The Middle East and Africa,” said Jim Courter, IDT’s CEO. “IDT Europe’s plan is to expand organically and through strategic acquisitions. This is similar to how IDT built its calling card business in the U.S.”

IDT Europe presently markets more than 350 individual brands of calling cards in 17 European countries. The addition of Expercom’s calling card products gives IDT Europe a larger share of the market in Belgium and provides a platform for further expansion.

“The combination of IDT Europe and Expercom’s operations and plans for European expansion are an ideal fit, offering a tremendous opportunity of growth within the region,” said Marc Bodner, Managing Director of IDT Europe. “The quality of our products and commitment of our team have enabled us to grow considerably despite the competition in the calling card industry. IDT Europe has consolidated its position as the leading force in the European telephony industry and integrating the Expercom operations into IDT Europe will be a key focus for the next quarter.”

IDT Continues Climb Up the Fortune 1,000 List Company Moves From 746 to 705

Newark, N.J., April 18, 2005- IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C) is pleased to announce that the company has moved up from 746 to 705 on this year’s Fortune 1000 list. The new list is available on line and will be published in the April 18th issue of Fortune Magazine. IDT Corporation is an international telecom, entertainment and technology company.

“Fasten your seat belts, IDT’s driving in the passing lane,” said Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman. “Accelerating ahead on Fortune’s 1000 list is great, but IDT’s prospects for the future are even better. Telecom revenue continues to grow, we’re expanding our presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America and IDT Entertainment is emerging as an industry leader. Passengers are advised to hold on. The ride has just begun.”

The Fortune 1,000 ranks America’s largest corporation by annual revenues. According to Fortune Magazine, IDT’s 2004 revenue was more than $2.2 – billion, up 20.8% from the previous year.

“Look at the great companies of the Fortune 100, most of them have businesses in many industries. This diversification provides more sources of revenue and makes them less reliant on any one sector,” said Jim Courter, IDT’s CEO. “While IDT continues to have great success and expand its telecommunications business, we have long wanted to become more diversified. So, we’ve begun to make strategic and carefully planned moves into other industries, such as entertainment and spectrum leasing, to name a few. As these businesses grow and mature, we expect the additional streams of revenue to propel IDT into the ranks of the top Fortune companies.”

In 2004, IDT sold about 370-million calling cards through its network of more than 300,000 retail locations. In addition, IDT customers placed more than 2-billion calls to destinations in over 230 countries.

IDT Entertainment’s New Arc Entertainment and Industry Entertainment Team to Scare Up Masters of Horror

Anthology Film Series Unites The Biggest Directors In Horror For A Minimum Of 13 Original One Hour Films. John Carpenter, Don Coscarelli, Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Stuart Gordon, Tobe Hooper, John Landis And George Romero Among The Directors Set For Masters of Horror Film Anthology

Newark, NJ & Los Angeles, CA, November 3, 2004 – IDT Entertainment’s New Arc Entertainment has joined with Industry Entertainment and Nice Guy Productions to produce Masters of Horror, an anthology series that assembles such prominent genre directors as John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing), Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep), Joe Dante (The Howling, Gremlins), Mick Garris (Riding the Bullet, The Stand), Stuart Gordon (The Re-Animator), Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist), John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and George Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead), for a minimum of 13 one-hour films.

IDT Entertainment Sales will handle worldwide distribution of the Masters of Horror series and Anchor Bay Entertainment will handle all video releases. The series will make its debut at American Film Market (AFM) 2004 in Santa Monica, CA.

While some of the Masters will be directing from their own screenplays, an equally impressive roster of writers will be participating in the anthology, including Richard C. Matheson (What Dreams May Come, Somewhere in Time), celebrated horror comic book creator/writer Steve Niles (Hyde, 30 Days of Night), noted horror writer David Schow (A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Bullets of Rain) and Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (2 Fast 2 Furious, Catch That Kid). In addition, writer Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper will collaborate for the first time since “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

Masters of Horror grew out of an informal bi-monthly dinner attended by several of the horror genre’s most highly regarded directors. The filmmakers agreed that the short-form anthology approach would serve as an effective way to spin their dark tales they’ve always most wanted to tell.

“Ever since we first brought the project to their attention, IDT Entertainment’s New Arc Entertainment and IDT Entertainment Sales have been extremely supportive of Masters of Horror. As a result of IDT Entertainment’s enthusiastic support, creative input and distribution prowess, we can look forward to a successful launch of Masters of Horror in the U.S. and throughout the world,” said Andrew Deane, Partner, Industry Entertainment.

“For its high profile directors, writers and producers, Masters of Horror is a labor of love, which oftentimes results in productions that go on to become instant classics,” said John Hyde, COO of IDT Entertainment “We are proud to house Masters of Horror within our prolific IDT Entertainment companies. At the same time, we are delighted to work alongside Industry Entertainment and Nice Guy Productions as we enter the production phase of this exciting project.”

Serving as Executive Producers of Masters of Horror are Mick Garris, Andrew Deane and Keith Addis. Principal photography for the first film production is scheduled to begin in Vancouver on March 15, 2005.

New Arc Entertainment, IDT Entertainment Sales and Anchor Bay Entertainment are units of IDT Entertainment. A division of IDT Corporation, IDT Entertainment is a vertically integrated entertainment concern that develops, produces and distributes proprietary and licensed entertainment content, with a particular focus on high-quality animation.
