IDT Corp Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
IDT Corporation (Delaware) filed this Current Report on September 27, 2005. The filing addresses financial results for the fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, and announces a restatement of financial statements for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2004.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures for the current period. The primary financial disclosure relates to a correction of an accounting error:
- Deferred Tax Liability: Decreased by $36.8 million.
- Benefit from Income Taxes: Increased by a corresponding amount for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
Material Changes
Management, in consultation with independent auditors Ernst & Young LLP, determined that the accrual for income taxes related to the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was overstated. This error necessitates a restatement of the first quarter and full fiscal year 2004 financial statements.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Non-Reliance Warning: Investors are cautioned not to rely on historical financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, year-to-date information for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004, or the full fiscal year 2004 until the restated Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed.

Forward-Looking Statements: The filing and attached press release contain forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties.
