IDT Corporation 2002 Annual Report IDT Corporation IDT Corporation 2002 ANNUAL REPORT IDT Corporation, through its subsidiary IDT Telecom, Inc., is one of the largest providers of telecommunications services in the U.S., utilizing its own backbone and fiber optic network to route calls both domestically and around the world. The Company is also a leader in the prepaid calling card industry, with calling card revenues of more than $1 billion. Our 192 brands sold 200 million cards worldwide last year. IDT’s corporate mission is to provide value for new and existing customers by creating and bringing to market a broad range of innovative and cost-effective communication services on a global basis. IDT principally operates through four distinct entities: IDT Corporation, IDT Telecom, Inc., Winstar Holdings, LLC and IDT Media, Inc. IDT Corporation has a long history of innovation, pioneering the international call-back industry and Internet telephony. IDT launched Net2Phone®, the leader in Internet telephony, sometimes referred to as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Today, IDT has approximately a 20% equity stake in Net2Phone ® and exercises voting control over the company. IDT Telecom, a 95%-owned subsidiary, operates a wholesale “carrier” business and a consumer long distance business, as well as a calling card business. While the majority of its revenues are U.S.-based, the Company’s IDT Europe division, established in 1998, has become the single largest provider of prepaid calling cards in the U.K. Winstar Holdings, LLC purchased the U.S. assets of Winstar Communications, Inc. out of bankruptcy in December 2001.

Speaking as the first employee of this Company, I understand that IDT’s success is due to the fact that my fellow employees are the best, most talented, most dedicated professionals not only in the telecommunications industry, but any industry. It is because of the quality of IDT’s employees that I am free of the horrible burden shouldered by many chairmen this year.
