                                BRIGHTPOINT, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
   prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company,
   all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered
   necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial statements have been
   included.

   The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been derived from the
   audited financial statements at that date, restated for the merger with the
   Allied Companies discussed below, but does not include all of the information
   and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
   complete financial statements. The consolidated statements of income for the
   three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
   of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

   For further information reference is made to the unaudited pro forma
   condensed combined financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
   Company's proxy statement dated April 30, 1996 and the audited consolidated
   financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form
   10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

   On June 7, 1996, the Company completed a merger with Allied Communications,
   Inc., Allied Communications of Florida, Inc., Allied Communications of
   Georgia, Inc., Allied Communications of Illinois, Inc. and Allied
   Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc. ("the Allied Companies"), which are
   engaged in substantially the same business as the Company. The transaction
   was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method and accordingly, the
   Company's financial statements have been restated to reflect the consolidated
   balance sheets and consolidated results of operations of both companies as if
   the merger had been in effect for all periods presented. Further information
   pertaining to the merger is presented in Note 4 - Merger with the Allied
   Companies.

   On August 1, 1996, the Company completed the formation of a joint venture
   with Technology Resources International Ltd. (TRI). The newly-formed joint
   venture, Brightpoint International Ltd., is owned 50 percent by the Company
   and 50 percent by TRI. Because the Company has controlling voting power over
   the joint venture, the operations of Brightpoint International Ltd. are
   consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

2. Reclassifications
   -----------------

   Certain amounts in the 1995 consolidated financial statements have been
   reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

3. Pro Forma Financial Information
   -------------------------------

   Prior to the Company's merger with the Allied Companies, the Allied
   Companies' stockholders had elected under Subchapter S of the Internal
   Revenue Code to include the income of the Allied Companies in their own
   income for income tax purposes. Therefore the pro forma financial information
   is presented to include a provision for income taxes as if the Allied
   Companies had been subject to income taxes.

4. Merger with the Allied Companies
   --------------------------------

   On June 7, 1996, the Company completed a merger with the Allied Companies
   through the exchange of 2,025,000 shares of newly-issued Company common stock
   for all of the outstanding shares of the Allied Companies common stock. The
   merger was structured as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for
   using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Net sales and net income
   for the Company and the Allied Companies for the three months and the nine
   months ended September 30, 1995, prior to the combination, are as follows (in
   thousands):

                                       Three Months Ended    Nine Months Ended

         Allied Companies (pro forma)            194                 1,096

                                            ========              ========

   In connection with the merger, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of
   $2,750,000 ($2,061,000 net of tax) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 for
   transaction costs, including investment banking, legal, and accounting fees,
   and for other estimated costs associated with the merger ("Merger expenses").

5. Accounts Receivable, Related Parties
   ------------------------------------

   The Company had various trade accounts receivable due from affiliates of
   $2,135,000 and $904,000 at December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996,
   respectively. Sales to affiliates were made at prevailing market prices.
   In addition, the Company had a $1,106,000 receivable from the former
   shareholders of Technology Resources International Ltd. at September 30,
   1996.

6. Credit Arrangements
   -------------------

   At September 30, 1996, the Company had a $75,000,000 amended credit agreement
   (line of credit) with Bank One, Indianapolis, NA, as agent for a group of
   banks. Borrowings on the amended line of credit bear interest, payable
   monthly, at the bank's prime rate less up to 100 basis points or at LIBOR
   plus 75 to 175 basis points dependent upon the ratio of the Company's funded
   debt to capital. The line of credit, which expires on May 28, 1999 and does
   not include provisions for demand repayment, has been classified as
   long-term. Under the line of credit at September 30, 1996, there was $27.2
   million outstanding, $8.3 million in letters of credit and $39.5 million
   remaining available.

   Substantially all of the Company's assets, including its inventories and
   receivables, are pledged to the Bank as collateral. In addition to covenants
   requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the Company's
   agreement with the Bank limits or prohibits the Company, subject to certain
   exceptions, from among other things, incurring additional indebtedness,
   declaring or paying cash dividends, making capital distributions or other
   payments to stockholders, merging or consolidating with another corporation,
   forming subsidiaries, selling all or substantially all of its assets,
   creating liens or security interests on the Company's assets and entering
   into transactions with affiliates. The Company's inability to incur
   additional indebtedness could, under certain circumstances, limit the
   Company's ability to expand its operations.

7. Subsequent Events
   -----------------

   Effective October 11, 1996, the Company amended its credit agreement to
   restate various covenants, including a provision to allow the Company to
   guarantee bank debt of Brightpoint International Ltd. in an amount not to 
   exceed $25 million.

   On October 18, 1996, the Company's subsidiary, Brightpoint International
   Ltd., acquired the business and operations of Hatadicorp Pty Ltd. ("Hatadi")
   which is based in Sydney, Australia. The newly formed Brightpoint Australia
   Pty Ltd. is owned 80 percent by Brightpoint International Ltd. and 20 percent
   by the founder and former shareholders of Hatadi. The operations of
   Brightpoint Australia Pty Ltd. will be consolidated for financial reporting
   purposes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 to Three and Nine
Months Ended September 30, 1996

   On June 7, 1996, the Company completed a merger with Allied Communications,
   Inc., Allied Communications of Florida, Inc., Allied Communications of
   Georgia, Inc., Allied Communications of Illinois, Inc. and Allied
   Communications of Puerto Rico, Inc. ("the Allied Companies"), which are
   engaged in substantially the same business as the Company. The transaction
   was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method and accordingly, the
   Company's financial statements have been restated to reflect the consolidated
   balance sheets and consolidated results of operations of both companies as if
   the merger had been in effect for all periods presented. In connection with
   the merger, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $2,750,000
   ($2,061,000 net of tax) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 for transaction
   costs, including investment banking, legal, and accounting fees, and for
   estimated costs associated with the merger ("Merger expenses").

   On August 1, 1996, the Company completed the formation of a joint venture
   with Technology Resources International Ltd. (TRI). The newly formed
   Brightpoint International Ltd. is owned 50 percent by the Company and 50
   percent by TRI. The operations of Brightpoint International Ltd. are
   consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Consolidated sales increased $44.4 million, or 44.0%, over sales for the third
quarter of 1995 and $88.1 million, or 30.4%, over sales for the first nine
months of 1995 reflecting continued strong demand for wireless communication
equipment in the United States and overseas. The increase in net sales over the
first nine months of 1995 is primarily attributable to a 77.0% increase in unit
volume, offset by a 49.5% decrease in per unit prices. Net sales in
international markets grew 60.9% in the first three-quarters of 1996 to 41.1% of
the Company's total net sales compared to 33.3% of total net sales for the same
period of last year. The Company anticipates that sales of its products in
foreign markets will continue to account for a greater portion of net sales in
the future.

Gross profit improved $5.4 million, or 79.6% over the third quarter of 1995, and
$9.6 million or 50.4% over the first nine months of 1995. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased from 6.8% to 8.4% over the third quarter of
1995 and from 6.6% to 7.6% over the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
increase in absolute dollars is primarily attributable to the increased number
of units sold. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is due
to the Company's ability to maintain its per unit dollar profit as per unit
phone prices have declined. In addition, the Company has increased its sales in
foreign markets and has begun to provide value added services both of which have
higher profit margins during 1996. In future periods, gross profit may be
affected by product, freight and other costs, price competition and by changes
in the mix of products offered by the Company.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.4
million, or 37.5%, over the third quarter 1995 and $3.2 million, or 33.2%, over
the operating expenses for the first nine months of 1995. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 3.3% to 3.4%
from the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The increase is attributable to the Company's expanded level of
operations and reflects increases in

depreciation expense relating to investments in management information systems,
rent expense for expanded facilities, compensation expense and travel costs
associated with increased international sales and marketing efforts. In
addition, during the transition period leading up to the merger with the Allied
Companies, the Company and the Allied Companies incurred duplicate expenses
which have been and will continue to be eliminated in future periods as
represented by the decrease from the three months ended September 30, 1995 of
3.7% to the three months ended September 30, 1996 of 3.5%. The Company expects
that selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in
absolute dollars in connection with higher levels of sales but remain relatively
constant as a percentage of net sales.

Income from operations increased by approximately $4.0 million, or 129.9%, over
the third quarter of 1995 and $6.4 million, or 68.1%, over the first nine months
of 1995. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased from 3.1%
to 4.9% from third quarter of 1995 to the third quarter of 1996 and from 3.3% to
4.2% from the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. These increases are primarily attributable to the increase
in gross profit.

Pro forma net income, including the effect of the one-time merger expenses,
increased $1.6 million, or 102.7%, over the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and
$1.1 million, or 22.2%, over the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Excluding
the merger expenses incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, pro forma net
income would have increased by $3.2 million, or 63.9%, over the first nine
months of fiscal 1995. The increase in pro forma net income is a result of an
increase in income from operations as discussed above. Interest expense and
income taxes have remained relatively consistent as a percent of sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's primary cash requirements have been to fund increased levels of
accounts receivable and inventories. The Company has historically satisfied its
working capital requirements principally through cash flow from operations, bank
borrowings and the issuance of equity securities.

Total debt was reduced $10.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1996
through the application of cash provided by operations. Working capital was
$91.4 million at September 30, 1996 compared to $62.2 million at December 31,
1995. Cash used by operations in the nine months ended September 30, 1996
totaled $9.5 million, compared to $14.5 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The decrease in cash used by operating activities was
primarily attributable to inventories remaining at approximately $56 million at
September 30, 1996. Additionally, an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses was offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable
increased by $22.9 million because of substantially higher sales volume in the
first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995. Accounts
payable and accrued expenses increased by $2.5 million primarily because of the
higher sales volume in the third quarter of 1996 versus the fourth quarter of
1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------------------


Cash used by investing activities totaled $10.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $2.1 million in the nine months ended September
30, 1995. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily
attributable to capital expenditures relating to the purchases of information
systems equipment and software, furniture and fixtures and leasehold
improvements, and capitalization of expenditures related to the formation of
Brightpoint International Ltd. Information systems equipment and software
investments were made to accommodate the Company's growth, integrate the
operations of the Allied Companies and to develop a fulfillment system which
enables the Company to offer additional valued added services in the cellular
and personal communication services (PCS) markets.

Cash provided by financing activities was $24.0 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $30.7 million in the six months ended June 30,
1996, and $20.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
increase in net cash provided by financing activities over the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was primarily attributable to advances under the Company's
line of credit. The decrease in the cash provided by financing activities for
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was achieved through the application of $9.5
million provided from operations and $4.8 million received from the proceeds
from the exercise of stock options and warrants. At September 30, 1996, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million.

In June, 1996, the Company amended it credit agreement (line of credit) with
Bank One, Indianapolis, NA, as agent for a group of banks (the "Bank"), to
increase available borrowings on the line of credit to $75,000,000. The
amendment also eliminated all borrowing base limitations previously included in
the agreement. Borrowings on the amended line of credit bear interest, payable
monthly, at the bank's prime rate less up to 100 basis points or at LIBOR plus
75 to 175 basis points dependent upon the ratio of the Company's funded debt to
capital. Effective October 11, 1996, the Company further amended its credit
agreement to restate various covenants, including a provision to allow the
Company to guarantee bank debt of Brightpoint International Ltd. in an amount
not to exceed $25 million. Under the line of credit at September 30, 1996, there
was $27.2 million outstanding, $8.3 million in letters of credit and $39.5
million remaining available. The line of credit expires on May 28, 1999.

Substantially all of the Company's assets, including its inventories and
receivables, are pledged to the Bank as collateral. In addition to covenants
requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the Company's agreement
with the Bank limits or prohibits the Company, subject to certain exceptions,
from among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, declaring or paying
cash dividends, making capital distributions or other payments to stockholders,
merging or consolidating with another corporation, forming subsidiaries, selling
all or substantially all of its assets, creating liens or security interests on
the Company's assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. The
Company's inability to incur additional indebtedness could, under certain
circumstances, limit the Company's ability to expand its operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------------------

The Company believes that projected cash flow from operations together with
existing capital resources, including cash and borrowings available under its
line of credit, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's current working
capital requirements. In July 1996, the Company committed to expand its
distribution facility in Indianapolis by adding 77,000 square feet to the
existing warehouse. The commitment will result in an annual increase in
operating lease payments of approximately $350,000 and an investment in
leasehold improvements not to exceed $500,000. The Company has no other material
commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 1996.

The Company frequently transacts business in currencies other than its
functional currency and therefore experiences some risk to exchange rate
fluctuations. The Company has not experienced significant exchange rate gains or
losses historically, however, increasing trade activity in foreign markets or
large fluctuations in exchange rates could generate more significant gains or
losses from these arrangements.

                       FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT


         BRIGHTPOINT, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the banks
listed on the signature pages hereof (each individually a "Bank" and
collectively the "Banks") and BANK ONE, INDIANAPOLIS, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a
national banking association with its principal office in Indianapolis, Indiana,
as agent for the Banks (in such capacity the "Agent" and in its individual
capacity "Bank One") agree as follows:

1. CONTEXT. This Fifth Amendment is made in the context of the following agreed
statement of facts:

         a. The Company, the Banks and the Agent are parties to a Credit
         Agreement dated June 13, 1995, as amended by a First Amendment to
         Credit Agreement dated as of September 15, 1995, a Second Amendment to
         Credit Agreement dated as of January 19, 1996, a Third Amendment to
         Credit Agreement dated as of June 7, 1996, and a Fourth Amendment to
         Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 1996 (collectively, the
         "Agreement").

         b. The Company has requested that the Banks (i) modify certain
         affirmative and negative covenants to permit the Company to guarantee
         certain indebtedness and to permit the Company's Subsidiary,
         International, to enter into certain indebtedness, and (ii) to waive
         the Company's noncompliance with its Fixed Charge Coverage Covenant,
         and other covenants, as of September 30, 1996.

         c. The Banks have agreed to such requests, subject to certain terms and
         conditions, and the parties have executed this document (this "Fifth
         Amendment") to give effect to their agreement.

2. DEFINITIONS. Terms used in this Fifth Amendment with their initial letters
capitalized are used as defined in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined
herein.

         a. Amended Definition. The definition of "Funded Debt" in Section 1 of
         the Agreement is hereby amended to restate clauses (d) and (e) of such
         definition as follows:

                  "(d) to the extent not already included in clause (a) above,
                  all guaranties and other obligations (contingent or otherwise)
                  of the Company and its Subsidiaries, calculated on a
                  consolidated basis, to assure a creditor against loss
                  (including, without limitation, letters of responsibility or
                  comfort letters, arrangements to purchase or repurchase
                  property or obligations, to pay for property, goods or
                  services whether or not delivered or rendered, to maintain
                  working capital, equity capital or other financial statement
                  condition of, or to lend or contribute to or invest in a third
                  party) in respect of obligations of such third party, provided
                  however, that the guaranty by the Company of the line of
                  credit obligations of International shall be included in the
                  calculation of Funded Debt at the principal amount of the debt
                  outstanding on the date of calculation and not at the face

                  amount of the guaranty; (e) to the extent not already included
                  in clauses (a) or (d) above, all consolidated obligations of
                  the Company and its Subsidiaries for extensions of credit
                  including the face amount of letters of credit issued for the
                  account of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not
                  representing obligations for borrowed money (for purposes of
                  this clause (e), Subsidiary shall include subsidiaries of
                  International),"

         b. New Definition. A new definition is added to Section 1 of the
         Agreement to read as follows:

                  o Fifth Amendment. "Fifth Amendment" means the written
                    amendment to this Agreement entitled "Fifth Amendment to
                    Credit Agreement" and dated effective as of October 11,
                    1996.

3. AMENDMENT TO FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Section 5.g(iii) of the Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         (iii) Fixed Charge Coverage. At the end of each fiscal quarter, for the
         four consecutive fiscal quarters ending as of such fiscal quarter end,
         from the date of the Fifth Amendment and until December 30, 1996, the
         Company shall maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than
         1.25 to 1.0. At December 31, 1996, and at each fiscal quarter
         thereafter until December 30, 1997, the Company shall maintain a fixed
         charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.35 to 1.0. At December 31,
         1997, and at each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Company shall maintain
         a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.0. For
         purposes of this covenant, the phrase "fixed charge coverage ratio"
         means, for any relevant period, the ratio of the sum of net income plus
         depreciation, amortization and interest expense plus cash taxes paid
         over the sum of payments made on term debt during the period for which
         the ratio is being calculated, including current capital lease payments
         but excluding any payments made on account of the Loan, plus interest
         expense, plus expenditures for fixed assets not funded with borrowed
         funds, plus dividends paid, plus cash taxes paid; provided that for
         purposes of this covenant, net income shall not be reduced by the
         expenses incurred by the Company related to the Allied transaction in a
         maximum sum of $2,500,000.00.

4. AMENDMENTS TO NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Section 6 of the Agreement is amended as
follows:

         a.  Section 6.c. of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
         its entirety as follows:

                  c. Guaranties. The Company shall not be, and shall not permit
                  any Subsidiary to be, a guarantor or surety of, or otherwise
                  be responsible in any manner with respect to any undertaking
                  of any other person or entity, whether by guaranty agreement
                  or by agreement to purchase any obligations, stock, assets,


                                       17

                  goods or services, or to supply or advance any funds, assets,
                  goods or services or otherwise except for:

                  (i)      guaranties in favor of the Banks or the Agent on
                           behalf of the Banks;

                  (ii)     the guaranty by the Company of certain debt of
                           International or a subsidiary of International, in an
                           aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000 plus
                           interest and costs of collection;

                  (iii)    guaranties by endorsement of instruments for deposit
                           made in the ordinary course of business;

noncompliance at such date and waive their right to exercise remedies available
under the Agreement as the result of the Company's failure to maintain its Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio at required levels. Such waiver shall not constitute any
agreement or waiver on the part of the Banks to any further or other default or
noncompliance on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary.

6. WAIVER OF CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ACQUISITION. The Company has
informed the Banks that the assets and liabilities of Acquisition have been or
will be transferred to the books and records of the Company and that, as of
September 30, 1996, there will be no separate books and records of Acquisition.
The Banks waive the remedies available under the Agreement for the failure of
the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 5.b(ii) with respect to
furnishing the consolidating financial statements of Acquisition for the months
ending September 30, 1996, October 31, 1996 and November 30, 1996; provided that
the Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect the merger of
Acquisition into the Company on or before December 31, 1996, and provided
further that the Company will provide (A) a written certification to the Banks
that Acquisition has no assets or business operations which are not reflected in
the financial statements of the Company, which certification will accompany each
of the financial statements furnished to the Banks pursuant to the Agreement
prior to the merger of Acquisition into the Company, and (B) written notice to
the Banks when the merger has been completed accompanied by copies of the
Articles of Merger, or comparable appropriate documents, certified by the
Secretary of State of Delaware. The Company acknowledges that if the merger of
Acquisition into the Company is not completed by December 31, 1996, the Company
shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.b(ii) which provisions require the
consolidating financial statements of Acquisition.

7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this
Fifth Amendment, the Agent shall have received, each duly executed and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Banks, the following:

         a. This Fifth Amendment, and

         b. Such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent or
            the Banks.

8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce the Banks and the Agent to enter
into this Fifth Amendment, the Company represents and warrants, as of the date
of this Fifth Amendment, and except as otherwise provided in this Fifth
Amendment, that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred
or is continuing and that the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3 of the Agreement are true and correct, except that the representations
contained in Section 3.d. refer to the latest financial statements furnished to
the Banks by the Company pursuant to the requirements of the Agreement.

9. REAFFIRMATION OF THE AGREEMENT. Except as amended by this Fifth Amendment,
all terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full
force and effect and the Obligations of the Company shall continue to be secured
and guaranteed as therein provided until payment and performance in full of all
Obligations.

10. COUNTERPARTS. This Fifth Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
