ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

      1. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

            On March 4, 2002, we closed the initial public offering of 8,050,000
shares of our common stock at a price of $22.00 per share. We sold 6,000,000 of
the shares and raised net proceeds of approximately $121.3 million, which net
proceeds, together with the net proceeds of our new senior secured credit
facility, have been used to pay off the then existing senior secured credit
facility and senior subordinated notes. The remaining proceeds will be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. In
addition, the selling shareholders sold a total of 2,050,000 shares, including
1,050,000 shares to cover over-allotments exercised by the underwriters. Our
shares are traded on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "IDE." We
announced the pricing of our initial public offering in a press release, dated
February 26, 2002, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

      2. NEW SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY

            Concurrently with the closing of our initial public offering, we
replaced our then existing senior secured credit facility with a new senior
secured credit facility provided by a syndicate of financial institutions led by
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as administrative agent for the lenders,
General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-syndication agent, Credit Lyonnais
New York Branch, as co-syndication agent and co-lead arranger, and CIBC World
Markets Corp. as lead arranger and bookrunner, and the other financial
institutions from time to time parties thereto. The new senior secured credit
facility consists of a $40 million five-year tranche A term loan facility, a $45
million six-year tranche B term loan facility, and a $40 million five-year
revolving credit facility, including a sub-facility for letters of credit.

            The Credit Agreement for the new senior secured credit facility and
related documents are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.7.

      3. AMENDMENT NO. 7 TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
         OPERATING AGREEMENT OF IDT HOLDING, L.L.C.

            On February 26, 2002, the Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Operating Agreement of IDT Holding, L.L.C. was further amended by
Amendment No. 7 thereto. Amendment No. 7 reflects the admission of BNY Capital
Partners, L.P. as a Class A Member. Amendment No. 7 is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.8.

            The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by
reference to our press release, the Credit Agreement for the new senior secured
credit facility and Amendment No. 7 to the Amended and Restated Limited
Liability Company Operating Agreement of IDT Holding, L.L.C., copies of which
