joint venture subsidiary, Dr. Alan Burnham, will ring the opening bell
at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Monday, June 28, 2010 at 9:30

‘After executing a successful turn-around, IDT has regained compliance
with the New York Stock Exchange’s continued listing requirements and
achieved bottom line profitability,’ said Howard Jonas. ‘Looking ahead,
I am very optimistic about growth opportunities in our core telecom and
energy businesses, including our alternative energy ventures.’
IDT, which posted a net loss of $155.4 million in fiscal 2009, has
generated $12.8 million in net income through the first nine months of
its 2010 fiscal year while generating $47.5 million in net cash from

For the ringing of the opening bell, Mr. Jonas and Dr. Burnham will be
joined by several other noted scientists and executives involved in the
Company’s oil shale initiative in Colorado.

S.A., and is one of three companies holding leases granted by the
federal Bureau of Land Management to research, develop and
demonstrate in-situ shale oil extraction processes on federal lands in
Western Colorado.
Legendary Wall Street investor Michael Steinhardt, who recently invested

resources – including oil shale – will become an increasingly important
source of global energy supply, and will create enormous opportunities
within the global energy market.’
