NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of IDT Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “IDT”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2011. The balance sheet at July 31, 2010 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2011 refers to the fiscal year ending July 31, 2011).
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation:
 
  
In the condensed consolidated balance sheet, certificates of deposit of $0.3 million at July 31, 2010 previously included in “Investments-short-term” have been reclassified to “Certificates of deposit”;
  
In the condensed consolidated statement of operations, bad debt expense of $0.5 million and $0.9 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, respectively, previously stated separately has been included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”; and
  
In the condensed consolidated statement of operations, reversals of impairment charges of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, respectively, previously stated separately have been included in “Severance and other charges”.
 
The Company records Universal Service Fund (“USF”) charges that are billed to customers on a gross basis in its results of operations, and records other taxes and surcharges on a net basis. USF charges in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.2 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, respectively, were recorded on a gross basis and included in “Revenues” and “Direct cost of revenues” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Note 2—Discontinued Operations
 
CTM Media Holdings, Inc.
 
On September 14, 2009, the Company completed a pro rata distribution of the common stock of CTM Media Holdings, Inc. (“CTM Holdings”) to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2009 (the “CTM Spin-Off”). CTM Holdings’ businesses at the time of the CTM Spin-Off included CTM Media Group, IDW Publishing and WMET 1160AM. CTM Holdings and subsidiaries met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations and accordingly, their assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As of September 14, 2009, each of the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on the record date received: (i) one share of CTM Holdings Class A common stock for every three shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) one share of CTM Holdings Class B common stock for every three shares of the Company’s Class B common stock; (iii) one share of CTM Holdings Class C common stock for every three shares of the Company’s Class A common stock; and (iv) cash in lieu of a fractional share of all classes of CTM Holdings’ common stock.
 
In September 2009, prior to the CTM Spin-Off, the Company funded CTM Holdings with an additional $2.0 million in cash.
 
Prior to the CTM Spin-Off, the Company provided certain services to CTM Holdings’ subsidiaries. The Company and CTM Holdings entered into a Master Services Agreement, dated September 14, 2009, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company provides certain administrative and other services to CTM Holdings on an interim basis. Such services include assistance with periodic reports required to be filed with the SEC as well as maintaining minutes, books and records of meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees, and assistance with corporate governance. The Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Howard S. Jonas, is the controlling stockholder and Chairman of the Board of CTM Holdings. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2011, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.6 million in the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, respectively, for the amounts charged to CTM Holdings. At January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, other current assets included nil and less than $0.1 million, respectively, receivable from CTM Holdings.

The Company exited the debt collection business in April 2009.

In connection with CSC Holdings, LLC’s (“Cablevision”) acquisition of Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC (“BBH”), BBH exercised its option to terminate the services being provided by the Company to BBH under a Cable Telephony Agreement dated November 3, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, in December 2010, Cablevision paid $14.4 million to the Company to terminate the Agreement.
 
On February 15, 2011, a jury in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas awarded Alexsam, Inc. $9.1 million in damages in an action alleging infringement by the Company of two patents related to the activation of phone and gift cards (incorporating bank identification numbers approved by the American Banking Association for use in a banking network) over a point-of-sale terminal (see Note 12). The Company incurred legal fees of $0.7 million in connection with this matter. The Company does not expect that this decision will have a material impact on its future business operations.

As of January 31, 2011, the Company has received aggregate proceeds from insurance of $4.0 million in connection with water damage to portions of the Company’s building and improvements at 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. The damaged portion of the building and improvements had an estimated carrying value of $1.1 million. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2011, the Company recorded a gain of $0.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, from this insurance claim.
 
Note 4—Marketable Securities
 
As of July 31, 2010, the Company classified all of its marketable securities as “available-for-sale” securities. Marketable securities were stated at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses in such securities reflected, net of tax, in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company had no marketable securities at January 31, 2011.
 
The following is a summary of marketable securities at July 31, 2010:

The Company’s marketable securities at July 31, 2010 included auction rate securities with an original cost of $14.3 million and an estimated fair value of $0.2 million. In fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, the Company recorded an aggregate $13.9 million loss after determining that there were other than temporary declines in the value of these auction rate securities. In October 2010, the Company received cash of $7.7 million in exchange for these auction rate securities as a result of the settlement of the Company’s arbitration claim. The Company incurred legal fees and other costs of $2.0 million in connection with the arbitration and settlement. The Company recognized a gain of $5.4 million from the settlement of the arbitration claim, which is included in “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
Proceeds from available-for-sale securities and the gross realized gains that have been included in earnings in the six months ended January 31, 2011 were $5.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Proceeds from available-for-sale securities and the gross realized gains that have been included in earnings in the six months ended January 31, 2010 were $4.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company uses the specific identification method in computing the gross realized gains and gross realized losses on the sales of marketable securities.
 
At July 31, 2010, the following available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position for which other-than-temporary impairments had not been recognized:

The Company’s investments in hedge funds, which are included in “Investments—short-term” and “Investments—long-term” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, are accounted for using the equity method unless the Company’s interest is so minor that it has virtually no influence over operating and financial policies pursuant to the accounting standards relating to investments in limited partnerships and in limited liability companies. The Company’s investments in hedge funds are therefore excluded from the fair value measurements table above.
 
The Company’s marketable securities at July 31, 2010 included auction rate securities for which the underlying asset was preferred stock of the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The fair values of the auction rate securities, which could not be corroborated by the market, were estimated based on the value of the underlying assets and the Company’s assumptions, and were therefore classified as Level 3.
 
The Company’s derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices or significant unobservable inputs. These contracts consist of (1) natural gas and electricity forward contracts to fix the price that IDT Energy will pay for specified amounts of natural gas and electricity on specified dates, which are classified as Level 1, (2) an option to purchase shares of a subsidiary, which is classified as Level 3 and (3) warrants to purchase shares of a subsidiary, which is classified as Level 3. The stock option was issued in April 2010 by the Company’s subsidiary, Genie Energy International Corporation (formerly Genie Energy Corporation) (“GEIC”). The GEIC stock option is exercisable until April 9, 2015 at an exercise price of $5.0 million. The fair value of the GEIC stock option was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model and the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 32% based on historical volatility of comparable companies and other factors, (2) a discount rate of 1.93% and (3) expected term of 4.2 years. The warrants were issued in November 2010 by the Company’s subsidiary, Genie Oil and Gas, Inc. (“GOGI”). The GOGI warrants are exercisable until November 12, 2011 at an exercise price of up to $2 million. The fair value of the GOGI warrants were estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model and the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 104% based on historical volatility of comparable companies and other factors, (2) a discount rate of 0.3% and (3) expected term of 0.8 years.
 
In the three and six months ended January 31, 2010, the Company’s debt securities and derivative contracts that were classified as Level 3 included a structured note with an embedded derivative that was bifurcated. The fair values of the structured note and the embedded derivative were estimated primarily based on pricing information from the counterparty. The structured note matured in November 2009.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments has been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting this data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. At January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments included in certificates of deposit, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments-short-term, other current assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, income taxes payable, capital lease obligations and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. At January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Company’s notes payable and other non-current liabilities approximate fair value as their contractual interest rates approximate market yields for similar debt instruments.
 
The Company’s investments-long-term at January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010 included investments in the equity of certain privately held entities that are accounted for at cost. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these investments because of the lack of a quoted market price for the shares of these entities, and the inability to estimate their fair value without incurring excessive cost. The carrying value of these investments was $1.1 million and $1.0 million at January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, respectively, which the Company believes was not impaired.
 
Note 6—Derivative Instruments
 
The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative instruments is commodity price risk. Natural gas and electricity forward contracts are entered into to fix the price that IDT Energy will pay for specified amounts of natural gas and electricity on specified dates. Also, one of the Company’s marketable securities was a structured note that contained an embedded derivative feature. The structured note had a par value of $5.0 million and matured in November 2009.

IDT Energy has entered into forward contracts as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in natural gas and electricity prices. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and therefore, the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. As of January 31, 2011, IDT Energy had the following contracts outstanding:

Commodity
 
Settlement Date
 
Volume
Electricity
 
February 2011
 
16,800 MWh
Natural gas
 
March 2011
 
77,500 mmbtu

The Company’s subsidiaries, GEIC and GOGI, issued an option and warrants, respectively that are subject to derivative accounting. The GEIC stock option was issued in April 2010 and is exercisable until April 9, 2015 at an exercise price of $5.0 million. The GOGI warrants were issued in November 2010 and are exercisable until November 12, 2011 at an exercise price of up to $2 million.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on certain of the above derivative instruments. Although nonperformance is possible, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these parties primarily because the contracts are with counterparties that the Company considers creditworthy.
 
Note 7—Investment in American Shale Oil, LLC
 
In April 2008, American Shale Oil Corporation (“AMSO”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GOGI, acquired a 75% equity interest in American Shale Oil, L.L.C. (“AMSO, LLC”), in exchange for cash of $2.5 million and certain commitments for future funding of AMSO, LLC’s operations. In a separate transaction in April 2008, IDT Corporation acquired an additional 14.9% equity interest in AMSO, LLC in exchange for cash of $3.0 million. Following this transaction, IDT Corporation owned 89.9% of the equity interests in AMSO, LLC, 75% through AMSO and 14.9% directly.
 
AMSO, LLC is one of three holders of leases granted by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) to research, develop and demonstrate in-situ technologies for potential commercial shale oil production (“RD&D Lease”) in western Colorado. The RD&D Lease awarded to AMSO, LLC by the BLM covers an area of 160 acres. The lease runs for a ten year period beginning on January 1, 2007, and is subject to an extension of up to five years if AMSO, LLC can demonstrate that a process leading to the production of commercial quantities of shale oil is diligently being pursued. If AMSO, LLC can demonstrate the economic and environmental viability of its technology, it will have the opportunity to submit a one time payment pursuant to the Oil Shale Management Regulations and convert its RD&D Lease to a commercial lease on 5,120 acres which overlap and are contiguous with the 160 acres in its RD&D Lease.
 
In March 2009, a subsidiary of TOTAL S.A., the world’s fifth largest integrated oil and gas company, acquired a 50% interest in AMSO, LLC in exchange for cash paid to the Company of $3.2 million and Total’s commitment to fund the majority of AMSO, LLC’s research, development and demonstration expenditures as well as certain other funding commitments. Immediately prior to this transaction, all owners (including IDT Corporation’s 14.9% direct equity interest) other than AMSO exchanged their ownership interest for a proportionate share of a 1% override on AMSO, LLC’s future revenue. IDT Corporation assigned the cash proceeds of its override interest to the IDT U.S. Oil Shale Charitable Distribution Trust, subject to certain remainder interests retained by IDT Corporation. Following the transaction with Total, AMSO and Total each owned a 50% interest in AMSO, LLC. While AMSO is the operator of the project during the RD&D phase, Total will provide a majority of the funding during the RD&D phase, and technical and financial assistance throughout the RD&D and commercial stages. Total will lead the planning of the commercial development and will assume management responsibilities during the subsequent commercial phase.
 
The Company consolidated AMSO, LLC prior to the closing of the transaction with Total. Beginning with the closing, the Company accounts for its 50% ownership interest in AMSO, LLC using the equity method since the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and financial matters, although it no longer controls AMSO, LLC. AMSO, LLC is a variable interest entity, however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary because it will not absorb a majority of the expected losses or receive a majority of the expected residual returns.
 
The following table summarizes the change in the balance of the Company’s Investment in AMSO, LLC:
 
      Six Months Ended January 31,  
      2011       2010  
      (in thousands)

  $ 1,431     $ 310  

The investment in AMSO, LLC is included in “Investments-long-term” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and equity in net loss of AMSO, LLC is included in “Other (expense) income, net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
In accordance with the agreement between the parties, AMSO has committed to a total investment of $10.0 million in AMSO, LLC, subject to certain exceptions described below where the amount could be greater or lesser.
 
Total may terminate its obligations to make capital contributions and withdraw as a member of AMSO, LLC. If Total withdraws as a member of AMSO, LLC, AMSO may also terminate its obligations to make capital contributions and withdraw as a member of AMSO, LLC.

Although, subject to certain exceptions, AMSO and Total are not obligated to make additional contributions beyond their respective shares (which for AMSO is $10.0 million), they could dilute or forfeit their ownership interests in AMSO, LLC if they fail to contribute their respective shares for additional funding.
 
Total can increase AMSO’s initial required funding commitment of $10.0 million up to an additional $8.75 million if Total wishes to continue to fund the pilot test up to an agreed upon commitment level.
 
At January 31, 2011, the Company’s estimated maximum exposure to additional loss as a result of its required investment in AMSO, LLC was $3.6 million. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure to additional loss will increase as AMSO’s commitment to fund AMSO, LLC increases. The estimated maximum exposure at January 31, 2011 was determined as follows:
 
   
(in thousands)
 
AMSO’s total committed investment in AMSO, LLC
  $ 10,000  
Less: cumulative capital contributions to AMSO, LLC
    (6,387 )
         
    Estimated maximum exposure to additional loss
  $ 3,613  
         
 
AMSO’s total committed investment in AMSO, LLC and its estimated maximum exposure to additional loss is subject to certain exceptions where the amounts could be greater. One exception is the additional funding that may be necessary to fund the pilot test as described above. The other significant exception is additional capital contributions that may be required to fund unexpected liabilities, in the event they occur, outside the purview of the traditional research, development and demonstration operations incorporated in AMSO, LLC’s budgeting and planning. However, any additional capital contributions for such liabilities would have to be authorized by both AMSO and Total.

On December 28, 2010, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.22 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2010 of the Company’s common stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The aggregate dividend paid was $10.0 million.
 
Sales of Stock of Subsidiary
 
In November 2010, Lord (Jacob) Rothschild and Rupert Murdoch separately purchased equity interests in GOGI equal to a cumulative 5.5% interest for an aggregate of $11.0 million, of which $10.0 million was paid in cash and a promissory note was issued for the remaining $1.0 million. The note is secured by a pledge of the shares issued in exchange for the note. The note accrues interest at 1.58%, and the principal and accrued interest is due and payable on November 15, 2015.

The restricted shares vest in different installments throughout the term of Mr. Jonas’ employment as delineated in the agreement, and all of the restricted shares paid to Mr. Jonas under the agreement automatically vest in the event of (i) a change in control of the Company; (ii) Mr. Jonas’ death; or (iii) if Mr. Jonas is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason as defined in the agreement. A pro rata portion of the restricted shares will vest in the event of termination for cause. Total unrecognized compensation cost on the grant date was $5.5 million.

Stock Repurchase Program
 
The Company has a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of 8.3 million shares of the Company’s Class B common stock and common stock, without regard to class. There were no repurchases in the six months ended January 31, 2011. In the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 0.2 million shares of Class B common stock and 0.5 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 million. As of January 31, 2011, 5.4 million shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.
 
Exchange Offer and Conversion of the Company’s Common Stock
 
On January 24, 2011, in connection with the Company’s previously announced offer to exchange one share of its Class B common stock (NYSE: IDT) for each share of common stock (NYSE: IDT.C) outstanding, the Company exchanged 1.9 million shares of its Class B common stock for 1.9 million shares of its common stock.
 
 The Company’s Board of Directors has scheduled a Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 4, 2011 in order to amend and restate the Company’s certificate of incorporation to (1) effect a conversion and reclassification of each outstanding share of common stock into one share of Class B common stock, (2) eliminate the common stock and provisions relating thereto, (3) provide for the conversion of Class A common stock into Class B common stock instead of common stock, and (4) revise the provision relating to dividends and distributions. If the proposed amendments become effective, the Company will no longer have any shares of common stock authorized or outstanding and will only have two classes of common stock remaining – Class A common stock, which is not publicly traded, and Class B common stock. Howard Jonas, who controls the right to exercise approximately 76% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, has indicated that he intends to vote all shares of the Company’s stock over which he exercises voting control in favor of the amendments to the certificate of incorporation.
 
Mr. Jonas has agreed to ensure that his voting power will not increase due to the exchange offer and the conversion. Promptly following the conversion, if it is approved and effected, Mr. Jonas will exchange 1.7 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (which is entitled to three votes per share) for shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (which is entitled to one-tenth of a vote per share) so that the voting power of shares of the Company’s capital stock over which Mr. Jonas exercises voting control will remain the same as it was immediately prior to the commencement of the exchange offer.
 
In addition, at the appropriate time, the Company intends to seek to delist its common stock from the New York Stock Exchange and apply to terminate the registration of that class of stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Note 9—Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture (non-vested) and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.
 
The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following:

   
Three Months Ended
January 31,
   
Six Months Ended
January 31,
 
   
2011

The following securities have been excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
 
   
January 31,

2010
 
   
(in thousands)
 
Stock options
    531       883

Non-vested restricted Class B common stock
           
                 
Total
    531       883  

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, outstanding stock options for which the exercise price of the stock option was greater than the average market price of the Company’s stock during the period were not included in the diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
