                                  (Unaudited)


(1)  Basis of Presentation

     Although the interim consolidated financial statements of CellStar
     Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") are unaudited, Company
     management is of the opinion that all adjustments (consisting of only
     normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results
     have been reflected therein. Operating revenues and net income for any
     interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
     expected for the entire year.

     These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 for the year ended November 30, 2000.

     Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to
     conform to the current year presentation.

(2)  Net Income Per Share

     Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number
     of common shares outstanding for the relevant period. Diluted net income
     per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares

(3)     Segment and Related Information

        The Company operates predominately within one industry, wholesale and
        retail sales of wireless telecommunications products. The Company's
        management evaluates operations primarily on income before interest and
        income taxes in the following reportable geographical regions: Asia-
        Pacific, North America, Latin America, which includes Mexico and the
        Company's Miami, Florida operations ("Miami"), and Europe. Revenues and
        operating results of Miami are included in Latin America since Miami's
        activities are primarily for export customers. The Corporate segment
        includes headquarter operations, primarily general and administrative
        costs, and income and expenses not allocated to reportable segments.
        Corporate segment assets primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents and
        deferred income tax assets. Intersegment sales and transfers are not
        significant.

                                                                       $ 57,708        129,970
                                                                      ==========     ==========



       As of January 30, 2001, the Company had negotiated an amendment to its
       Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, (the"Facility") that reduced the
       amount of the Facility from $100.0 million to $86.4 million.

       On February 27, 2001, the Company and its banking syndicate negotiated
       and executed a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that further
       reduced the amount of the Facility to $85.0 million on February 27, 2001,
       $74.0 million on July 31, 2001, $65.0 million on September 30, 2001, and
       $50.0 million on December 15, 2001. Such Second Amended and Restated
       Credit Agreement further (i) increases the applicable interest rate
       margin by 25 basis points, (ii) shortens the term of the Facility from
       June 1, 2002 to March 1, 2002, (iii) provides additional collateral for
       such Facility in the form of additional stock pledges and mortgages on
       real property, (iv) provides for dominion of funds by the banks for the
       Company's U.S. operations, (v) limits the borrowing base, and (vi)
       tightens restrictions on the Company's ability to fund its operations,
       particularly its non-U.S. operations.

       As of July 3, 2001, the Company had negotiated an additional amendment to
       its Facility that reduced the borrowing capacity under the Facility from
       $85.0 million to $40.0 million and waived compliance with a covenant for
       the quarter ended May 31, 2001.

       At July 9, 2001 the Company had available $29.5 million of unused
       borrowing capacity under the Facility.

       At May 31, 2001, the Company's operations in the PRC had three lines of
       credit, one for USD $12.5 million, the second for RMB 215 million
       (approximately USD $26.0 million) and the third for RMB 50 million
       (approximately USD $6.0 million), bearing interest at 7.16%, 5.85% and
       2.34% respectively. The loans have maturity dates through August 2001.
       The first two lines of credit are fully collateralized by U.S. dollar
       cash deposits. The cash deposits were made via intercompany loans from
       the operating entity in Hong Kong as a mechanism to secure repatriation
       of these funds. The third line of credit is supported by a RMB 15.0
       million cash collateral deposit and a promissory note. At May 31, 2001,
       the U.S. dollar equivalent of $30.8 million had been borrowed against the
       lines of credit in the PRC. As a result of this method of funding
       operations in the PRC, the consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2001
       reflects USD $41.3 million in cash that is restricted as collateral on
       these advances and a corresponding USD $30.8 million in notes payable.

       Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, and aggressive
       efforts to reduce inventories and accounts receivable, the Company
       anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with amounts
       available under its Facility and existing unrestricted cash balances,
       will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements in the
       foreseeable future. In the event that existing unrestricted cash
       balances, cash flows and available borrowings under the Facility are not
       sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company may be required
       to reduce planned expenditures or seek additional financing. The Company
       can provide no assurances that reductions in planned expenditures would
       be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that additional
       financing would be available or, if available, offered on terms
       acceptable to the Company.

                                                                              11


(5)  Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
     133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
     ("Statement 133"), amended by Statement 138 issued in June 2000. Effective
     December 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement 133. Given the Company's
     current derivative activities, the adoption of Statement 133 did not have a
     material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and
     results of operations.

     The Company uses various derivative financial instruments as part of an
     overall strategy to manage the Company's exposure to market risk associated
     with interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The
     Company evaluates the use of interest rate swaps and cap agreements to
     manage its interest risk on debt instruments, including the reset of
     interest rates on variable rate debt.

     The Company  periodically uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce
     exposure to exchange rate risks primarily associated with transactions in
     the regular course of the Company's international operations. The Company
     consolidates the bulk of its foreign exchange exposure related to
     intercompany transactions in its international finance subsidiary. The
     forward contracts establish the exchange rates at which the Company
     purchases or sells the contracted amount of local currencies for specified
     foreign currencies at a future date. The Company uses forward contracts,
     which are short-term in nature (45 days to one year), and receives or pays
     the difference between the contracted forward rate and the exchange rate at
     the settlement date.

     At May 31, 2001, the Company had French franc forward contracts with a
     contractual amount of $5.6 million.  The carrying amount and fair value of
     these contracts are not significant.  These derivatives are not accounted
     for as hedges under Statement 133.

     The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
     trading purposes.

     Refer to Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings".

                                                                              12


     Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
     Results of Operations

     Overview

          The Company reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted
     share, for the second quarter of 2001, compared with a net loss of $42.4
     million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year.
     Revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2001, were $572.3 million, an
     increase of $10.9 million compared to $561.4 million in 2000. Gross profit
     increased from $3.1 million in 2000 to $34.7 million in 2001.  Selling,
     general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2001 were
     $23.2 million compared to $58.1 million in 2000. In the second quarter of
     2000, the Company decided to divest its majority interest in its Brazil
     joint venture, phase out a major portion of its North America and Miami
     redistributor business, and substantially reduce international trading
     operations conducted by its U.K. subsidiary due to third party theft and
     fraud losses. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded
     inventory obsolescence expense of $21.8 million, bad debt expense of $25.5
     million, and $3.2 million in theft and fraud losses related to the U.K.
     international trading operations.

          The Company announced on July 6, 2001, that Alan H. Goldfield retired
     effective immediately from the position of Chairman and CEO and that James
     L. "Rocky" Johnson, who has served on the Board of Directors since March
     1994 will become non-executive Chairman of the Board, and Terry S. Parker,
     a member of the Board of Directors and a former President and COO of
     CellStar, will be rejoining the Company as Chief Executive Officer.
     Pursuant to the terms of Alan H. Goldfield's separation agreement filed
     herewith, the Company expects to incur a charge in the range of $5.0
     million during the third quarter of 2001.

                                                                              13


Cautionary Statements

          The Company's success will depend upon, among other things, its
ability to maintain its operating margins, continue to secure an adequate supply
of competitive products on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms,
service its indebtedness and comply with covenants, secure adequate financial
resources, continually turn its inventories and accounts receivable,
successfully manage growth (including monitoring operations, controlling costs,
maintaining adequate information systems and effective inventory and credit
controls), manage operations that are geographically dispersed, achieve
significant penetration in existing and new geographic markets, and hire, train
and retain qualified employees who can effectively manage and operate its
business.

          The Company's foreign operations are subject to various political and
economic risks including, but not limited to, the following: political
instability; economic instability; currency controls; currency devaluations;
exchange rate fluctuations; potentially unstable channels of distribution;
increased credit risks; export control laws that might limit the markets the
Company can enter; inflation; changes in laws related to foreign ownership of
businesses abroad; foreign tax laws; changes in cost of and access to capital;
changes in import/export regulations, including enforcement policies; "gray
market" resales; and tariff and freight rates. Political and other factors
beyond the control of the Company, including trade disputes among nations or
internal political or economic instability in any nation where the Company
conducts business, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

          This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance and business
prospects. When used in the Quarterly Report, the words "estimates", "may",

     Three Months Ended May 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended May 31, 2000

            Revenues. The Company's revenues increased $10.9 million, or 2.0%,
     from $561.4 million to $572.3 million.

            Revenues in the Asia-Pacific Region increased $77.6 million, or
     33.5%, from $231.4 million to $309.0 million. The Company's operations in
     the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong ("PRC"), provided
     $271.7 million in revenues, an increase of $118.5 million, or 77.3%, from
     $153.2 million. Growth in the PRC, where market penetration of handsets is
     very low, is being driven by the rapid addition of new wireless
     subscribers. Revenues from the Company's operations in Singapore increased
     $11.0 million to $21.5 million, or 105.5%, due to new products, including
     two products for which the Company has exclusive rights. Revenues from
     Taiwan and The Philippines operations decreased $43.2 million, or 88.5%,
     and $8.8 million, or 46.2%, respectively, to $5.6 million and $10.2
     million, respectively. The Company's operations in Taiwan and The
     Philippines continue to be affected by economic and political turmoil in
     the respective countries.

            North American Region revenues were $105.0 million, an increase of
     $2.0 million compared to $103.0 million in 2000. Early in the first quarter
     of 2001, the Company converted a major U.S. account to a consignment basis
     with fulfillment fees, which will reduce revenue potential for the 2001
     fiscal year by approximately $100 million. Revenues for the second quarter
     of 2000 on a comparable basis were $89.5 million. The conversion to
     consignment is expected to have minimal impact on net income, but will
     reduce inventory risk and the need for working capital.

            The Company's operations in the Latin America Region provided $98.6
     million of revenues, compared to $160.5 million in 2000, a 38.6% decrease.
     Revenues in Mexico, the region's largest revenue contributor, were $66.4
     million compared to $100.0 million in 2000, which benefited from strong
     carrier promotions.  The decrease was also due to a delay in 2001 in new-
     subscriber and promotional activities by a large carrier customer.  The
     Company sold its 51% interest in its Brazil joint venture in August 2000.
     Revenues for Brazil were $12.5 million in last year's second quarter.
     Revenues from the Venezuela operations were $8.9 million in 2000. The
     Company sold its Venezuela operations in December 2000.  Revenues from the
     Company's Miami export operations were $13.5 million compared to $20.5
     million in the second quarter a year ago, reflecting the Company's decision
     last year to phase out a major portion of its redistributor channel and the
     increased availability of in-country manufactured products in South
     America, which has reduced sales to exporters by Miami.  As a result, the
     Company restructured its Miami operation to reduce the size and cost of
     these operations, resulting in a charge of $0.8 million in the second
     quarter of 2001.  Combined revenues from CellStar's Argentina, Chile,
     Colombia and Peru operations were $18.7 million in 2001 and $18.8 million
     in 2000.

            The Company's European Region operations recorded revenues of $59.8
     million, a decrease of $6.7 million from $66.5 million in 2000.  The
     handset market in Europe is highly penetrated and is increasingly driven by
     replacement sales, which  are depressed due to delays in the rollout of new
     handset technologies and services.

            Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $31.6 million from $3.1 million
     to $34.7 million. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company incurred $21.8
     million in inventory obsolescence, primarily as a result of price declines.
     Also during the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded $3.2 million
     in third party theft and fraud losses related to the U.K. international
     trading operations. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased due
     to better inventory management and product mix.

            Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
     administrative expenses decreased $34.8 million from $58.1 million to $23.2
     million. This decrease was principally due to a reduction in bad debt
     expense of $27.3 million. Bad debt expense in 2000 was $25.5 million and
     was primarily from certain U.S.-based accounts receivable, the
     collectibility of which had deteriorated significantly in the second
     quarter of 2000 and which were further affected by the Company's decision
     to sell its majority interest in its joint venture in Brazil and the phase
     out of a major portion of the redistributor business in its Miami and North
     America operations. Bad debt expense in 2001, includes a recovery of $3.9
     million related to a receivable from a satellite handset customer, which
     was reserved in

                                                                              15


     the fourth quarter of 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses
     related to the Brazil and Venezuela operations, which were sold in August
     2000 and December 2000, respectively, were $6.3 million in 2000.

            Restructuring Charge (Credit). In connection with its previously
     announced intent, the Company restructured its Miami facilities in the
     second quarter of 2001 to reduce the size and cost of those operations,
     resulting in a charge of $0.8 million, primarily related to the impairment
     of leasehold improvements.

            Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies. Equity in loss of affiliated
     companies was $0.5 million in 2000 due to losses from the Company's 49%
     minority interest in CellStar Amtel. As a result of the continuing
     deterioration in the Malaysia market, the Company intends to divest its
     ownership in CellStar Amtel to limit further exposure. The Company will be
     required to recognize future losses, if any, of CellStar Amtel up to the
     amount of debt and payables of CellStar Amtel guaranteed by the Company.
     The Company currently estimates the remaining exposure to be up to $1.0
     million.

            Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $3.9 million from
     $4.7 million. This decrease was primarily related to the elimination of
     debt of the Brazil operation, which was sold in August 2000. The decrease
     was also a result of lower borrowing levels on the Company's Multicurrency
     Revolving Credit Facility.

            Other, Net.  Other, net increased $0.6 million, from income of $0.2
     million to income of $0.8 million, primarily due to losses in the second
     quarter of 2000 on foreign currencies related to European operations.

            Income Taxes.  Income tax expense increased from a benefit of $17.5
     million to an expense of $2.3 million. The Company's annual effective tax
     rate decreased to 29.0% from 30.5% The lower effective tax rate was
     attributable to changes in the expected geographical mix of income (loss)
     before income taxes.


                                                                              16


     Six Months Ended May 31, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended May 31, 2000

            Revenues.  The Company's revenues increased $66.3 million, or 5.8%,
      from $1,151.2 million to $1,217.5 million.

            Revenues in the Asia-Pacific Region increased $134.2 million, or
      28.4%, from $473.3 million to $607.5 million.  The Company's operations in
      the PRC provided $526.0 million in revenue, an increase of $204.8 million,
      or 63.8%, from $321.2 million. This increase was due to continued strong
      demand in the PRC and the build-up of extensive sales channels. Growth in
      the PRC, where market penetration of handsets is very low, is being driven
      by the rapid addition of new wireless subscribers. Revenues from the
      Company's operations in Singapore increased $19.8 million, or 105.8%, to
      $38.5 million due to  third party subsidies and new products, including
      two products for which the Company has exclusive rights.  Revenues from
      Taiwan and The Philippines operations decreased $82.4 million, or 80.5%,
      and $8.0 million, or 25.7%, respectively to $19.9 million and $23.1
      million, respectively. The Company's operations in Taiwan and The
      Philippines continue to be affected by economic and political turmoil in
      the respective countries.

            North American Region revenues were $251.5 million, an increase of
     $71.1 million, or 39.4% when compared to $180.4 million. U.S. revenues
     continued to benefit from strong promotional activity by several customers,
     as well as from the addition of new customers and expanded markets.  Early
     in the first quarter of 2001, the Company converted a major U.S. account to
     a consignment basis with fulfillment fees, which will reduce revenue
     potential for the 2001 fiscal year by approximately $100 million. Revenues
     for the six months ended May 31, 2001 and May 31, 2000, on a comparable
     basis were $233.2 million and $161.6 million, respectively.  The conversion
     to consignment is expected to have minimal impact on net income, but will
     reduce inventory risk and the need for working capital.

            The Latin American Region provided $237.6 million of revenues,
     compared to $315.7 million, or a 24.7% decrease.  Revenues in Mexico
     decreased $40.4 from $182.8 million in 2000, which benefited from strong
     carrier promotions, to $142.4 million in 2001. The decrease was also due to
     a delay in 2001 in new-subscriber and promotional activities by a large
     carrier customer.  Revenues for Brazil were $25.7 million in 2000. The
     Company's sold its Brazil operations in August 2000.  Revenues from the
     Venezuela operations were $26.4 million in 2000.  The Company sold its
     Venezuela operations in December 2000.  Revenues from the Company's
     operations in Miami decreased $17.9 million from 2000 as increased product
     availability from in-country manufacturers in Latin America continued to
     reduce export sales from Miami.  The Company phased out a major portion of
     its redistributor business in its Miami and North American operations due
     to the volatility of the redistributor business, the relatively lower
     margins, and higher credit risks. Combined revenues from the operations in
     Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru increased $31.0 million to $69.8
     million primarily due to significant promotional activity by a major
     carrier in Colombia during the first quarter of 2001.

            The Company's Europe Region recorded revenues of $120.8 million, a
     decrease of $61.0 million, or 33.5%, from $181.8 million, primarily due to
     the Company's decision to curtail its U.K. international trading operations
     in April 2000 (see "International Operations"). The handset market in
     Europe is highly penetrated and is increasingly driven by replacement
     sales, which  are depressed due to delays in the rollout of new handset
     technologies and services.

            Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $20.0 million from $51.4
     million to $71.4 million. During 2000, the Company incurred $23.5 million
     in inventory obsolescence primarily as a result of price declines during
     the second quarter and $3.2 million in third party theft and fraud losses
     related to the U.K. international trading operations. Excluding the above
     items in 2000, the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was
     primarily due to competitive market conditions, particularly in the Asia-
     Pacific Region.

            Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
     administrative expenses decreased $38.1 million from $90.3 million to $52.2
     million.  This decrease was principally due to a reduction in bad debt
     expense of $28.0 million from $29.9 million to $1.9 million in 2001.  The
     bad debt expense in 2000 was primarily from certain U.S.-based accounts
     receivable, the collectibility of which had deteriorated significantly in
     the second quarter of 2000 and which were further affected by the Company's
     decision to sell its majority interest in its joint venture in Brazil and
     the phase out of a major portion of the

                                                                              17


     redistributor business in its Miami and North America operations. Bad debt
     expense in 2001, includes a recovery of $3.9 million related to a
     receivable from a satellite handset customer which was reserved in the
     fourth quarter of 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses
     related to the Brazil and Venezuela operations, which were sold in August
     2000 and December 2000, respectively, were $0.2 million in 2001 and $10.0
     million in 2000.

            Restructuring Charge (Credit). In connection with its previously
     announced intent, the Company restructured its Miami facilities in the
     second quarter of 2001 to reduce the size and cost of those operations,
     resulting in a charge of $0.8 million, primarily related to the impairment
     of leasehold improvements.

            Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies. Equity in loss of affiliated
     companies increased from $0.4 million to $0.7 million in 2001 due to losses
     from the Company's 49% minority interest in CellStar Amtel.  As a result of
     the continuing deterioration in the Malaysia market, the Company intends to
     divest its ownership in CellStar Amtel to limit further exposure.  The
     Company will be required to recognize future losses, if any, of  CellStar
     Amtel up to the amount of debt and payables of CellStar Amtel guaranteed by
     the Company.  The Company currently estimates the remaining exposure to be
     up to $1.0 million.

            Gain on Sale of Assets.  The Company recorded a gain on sale of
     assets of $0.9 million in 2001 primarily associated with the sale of its
     Venezuela operations in December 2000.

            Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased to $9.0 million from
     $8.8 million.

            Other, Net.  Other, net increased $3.2 million, from income of $0.4
     million to income of $3.6 million, primarily due to gains on foreign
     currencies related to European operations in 2001 compared with losses in
     2000 and increased interest income.

            Income Taxes.  Income tax expense increased from a benefit of $14.5
     million in 2000 to expense of $3.9 million in 2001.  The Company's annual
     effective tax rate decreased to 29.0% from 30.5%.  The lower effective tax
     rate was attributable to changes in the expected geographical mix of income
     (loss) before income taxes.

     International Operations

            The Company's foreign operations are subject to various political
     and economic risks including, but not limited to, the following: political
     instability; economic instability; currency controls; currency
     devaluations; exchange rate fluctuations; potentially unstable channels of
     distribution; increased credit risks; export control laws that might limit
     the markets the Company can enter; inflation; changes in laws related to
     foreign ownership of businesses abroad; foreign tax laws; trade disputes
     among nations; changes in cost of capital; changes in import/export
     regulations, including enforcement policies, "gray market" resales, tariff
     and freight rates. Such risks and other factors beyond the control of the
     Company in any nation where the Company conducts business could have a
     material adverse effect on the Company.

            During the third quarter ended August 31, 2000, the Company decided,
      based on the current and future economic and political outlook in
      Venezuela, to divest its operations in Venezuela. For the quarter ended
      August 31, 2000, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.9 million
      to reduce the carrying value of certain Venezuela assets, primarily
      goodwill, to their estimated fair value.  In December 2000, the Company
      completed the sale of its Venezuela operations and recorded a gain of $1.1
      million.

            The Company's sales from its Miami operations to customers exporting
     into South American countries continue to decline as a result of increased
     in-country manufactured product availability in South America, primarily
     Brazil. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company phased out a major
     portion of its redistributor business in Miami. In connection with its
     previously announced intent, the Company restructured its Miami facilities
     in the second quarter of 2001 to reduce the size and cost of those
     operations, resulting in a charge of $0.8 million, primarily related to the
     impairment of leasehold improvements.

                                                                              18


            As a result of the continuing deterioration in the Malaysia market,
     the Company intends to limit further exposure by divesting its 49%
     ownership in CellStar Amtel. The carrying value of the investment at May
     31, 2001 was $35,000. During the quarter ended February 28, 2001, the
     Company incurred a $0.7 million loss related to the operations of CellStar
     Amtel. No additional losses were incurred in the quarter ended May 31,
     2001. The Company will be required to recognize future losses, if any, of
     CellStar Amtel up to the amount of debt and payables of CellStar Amtel
     guaranteed by the Company. The Company currently estimates the remaining
     exposure to be up to $1.0 million.

            In April 2000, the Company curtailed a significant portion of its
     U.K. international trading operations following third party theft and fraud
     losses. The trading business involves the purchase of products from
     suppliers other than manufacturers and the sale of those products to
     customers other than network operators or their dealers and other
     representatives.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

            During the six months ended May 31, 2001, the Company relied
      primarily on cash available at November 30, 2000,  funds generated from
      operations and borrowings under its Multicurrency Revolving Credit
      Facility (the "Facility") to fund working capital, capital expenditures
      and expansions.  At May 31, 2001, the Company had borrowed $16.1 million
      under the Facility.

            As of January 30, 2001, the Company had negotiated an amendment to
      its Facility that reduced the amount of the Facility from $100.0 million
      to $86.4 million.

            On February 27, 2001, the Company and its banking syndicate
      negotiated and executed a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
      that further reduced the amount of the Facility to $85.0 million on
      February 27, 2001, $74.0 million on July 31, 2001, $65.0 million on
      September 30, 2001, and $50.0 million on December 15, 2001. Such Second
      Amended and Restated Credit Agreement further (i) increases the applicable
      interest rate margin by 25 basis points, (ii) shortens the term of the
      Facility from June 1, 2002 to March 1, 2002, (iii) provides additional
      collateral for such Facility in the form of additional stock pledges and
      mortgages on real property, (iv) provides for dominion of funds by the
      banks for the Company's U.S. operations, (v) limits the borrowing base,
      and (vi) tightens restrictions on the Company's ability to fund its
      operations, particularly its non-U.S. operations.

            As of July 3, 2001, the Company had negotiated an additional
      amendment to the Facility that reduced the borrowing capacity under the
      Facility from $85.0 million to $40.0 million and waived compliance with a
      covenant for the quarter ended May 31, 2001.

            At July 9, 2001 the Company had available $29.5 million of unused
     borrowing capacity under the Facility.

            At May 31, 2001, the Company's operations in the PRC had three lines
      of credit, one for USD $12.5 million, the second for RMB 215 million
      (approximately USD $26.0 million) and the third for RMB 50 million
      (approximately USD $6.0 million), bearing interest at 7.16%, 5.85% and
      2.34% respectively. The loans have maturity dates through August 2001. The
      first two lines of credit are fully collateralized by U.S. dollar cash
      deposits. The cash deposit was made via an intercompany loan from the
      operating entity in Hong Kong as a mechanism to secure repatriation of
      these funds. The third line of credit is supported by a RMB 15.0 million
      cash collateral deposit and a promissory note. At May 31, 2001, the U.S.
      dollar equivalent of $30.8 million had been borrowed against the lines of
      credit in the PRC. As a result of this method of funding operations in the
      PRC, the consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2001 reflects USD $41.3
      million in cash that is restricted as collateral on these advances and a
      corresponding USD $30.8 million in notes payable. The Company anticipates
      renewing these loans in the normal course of business.

            In addition, the Company has notes payable in Taiwan and Peru
      totaling $10.9 million.

            Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of May 31, 2001 were
      $85.5 million, compared to $119.6  million at November 30 2000, primarily
      reflecting the use of the cash to reduce the Facility.

            Compared to November 30, 2000, accounts receivable decreased from
     $346.0 million to $218.8 million at May 31, 2001. Inventories declined to
     $165.9 million at May 31, 2001, from $265.6 million at November 30, 2000.
     Management has worked aggressively to reduce accounts receivable and
     inventory levels through tightening of credit policies, aggressive
     collection efforts, and better purchasing and inventory management.
     Accounts payable declined to $161.0 million at May 31, 2001, compared to
     $361.0 million at November 30, 2000.

                                                                              19


            Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, and
      aggressive efforts to reduce inventories and accounts receivable, the
      Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with
      amounts available under its Facility and existing unrestricted cash
      balances, will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements in
      the foreseeable future. In the event that existing unrestricted cash
      balances, cash flows and available borrowings under the Facility are not
      sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company may be required
      to reduce planned expenditures or seek additional financing. The Company
      is evaluating alternatives with respect to the maturity of its Facility in
      March 2002 and its $150.0 million in long-term debt that matures in
      October 2002. The Company can provide no assurances that reductions in
      planned expenditures would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available
      cash or that additional or alternative financing would be available or, if
      available, offered on terms acceptable to the Company.

     Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

            In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
     101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101
     summarizes certain of the staff's views in applying generally accepted
     accounting principles to revenue recognition and accounting for deferred
     costs in the financial statements and is effective no later than the fourth
     quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. Based on the
     Company's current revenue recognition policies, SAB 101 is not expected to
     materially impact the Company's financial position and consolidated results
     of operations.

     Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Foreign Exchange Risk

            For the quarters ended May 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded
     in other income (expense), net foreign currency gains and (losses) of
     $20,000 and ($1.2) million, respectively. The losses in 2000 were primarily
     due to the revaluations of foreign currency related to the Company's
     European operations.

            Regarding the intercompany advances from the Hong Kong entity to the
     PRC entity, the Company has foreign exchange exposure on the funds as they
     have been effectively converted into RMB.

            The Company manages foreign currency risk by attempting to increase
     prices of products sold at or above the anticipated exchange rate of the
     local currency relative to the U.S. dollar, by indexing certain of its
     accounts receivable to exchange rates in effect at the time of their
     payment and by entering into foreign currency hedging instruments in
     certain instances. The Company consolidates the bulk of its foreign
     exchange exposure related to intercompany transactions in its international
     finance subsidiary. These transactional exposures are managed using various
     derivative alternatives depending on the length and size of the exposure.
     The Company continues to evaluate foreign currency exposures and related
     protection measures.

     Derivative Financial Instruments

            The Company uses various derivative financial instruments as part of
     an overall strategy to manage the Company's exposure to market risk
     associated with interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate
     fluctuations. The Company periodically uses foreign currency forward
     contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated
     with international operations. The Company evaluates the use of interest
     rate swaps and cap agreements to manage its interest risk on debt
     instruments, including the reset of interest rates on variable rate debt.
     The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
     trading purposes.

                                                                              20


            The risk of loss to the Company in the event of non-performance by
     any counterparty under derivative financial instrument agreements is not
     significant.  Although the derivative financial instruments expose the
     Company to market risk, fluctuations in the value of the derivatives are
     mitigated by expected offsetting fluctuations in the matched instruments.

            The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce
     exposure to exchange rate risks primarily associated with transactions in
     the regular course of the Company's international operations. The forward
     contracts establish the exchange rates at which the Company purchases or
     sells the contracted amount of local currencies for specified foreign
     currencies at a future date. The Company uses forward contracts, which are
     short-term in nature (45 days to one year), and receives or pays the
     difference between the contracted forward rate and the exchange rate at the
     settlement date.

            At May 31, 2001, the Company had French franc forward contracts with
     a contractual amount of $5.6 million. The carrying amount and fair value of
     theses contracts are not significant. These derivatives are not accounted
     for as hedges under Statement 133.

     Interest Rate Risk

            The interest rate of the Company's Facility is an index rate at the
      time of borrowing plus an applicable margin on certain borrowings. The
      interest rate is based on either the agent bank's prime lending rate or
      the London Interbank Offered Rate. Additionally, the applicable margin is
      subject to increases as the Company's ratio of consolidated funded debt to
      consolidated cash flow increases. During the quarter ended May 31, 2001,
      the interest rates of borrowings under the Facility ranged from 7.3% to
      10.0%. A one percent change in variable interest rates will not have a
      material impact on the Company. The Company manages its borrowings under
      the Facility each business day to minimize interest expenses.

            The Company has short-terms borrowings in the PRC as discussed in
      Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The note payable in Taiwan bears
      interest at 5.85% and the note payable in Peru does not bear interest.

            The Company's $150.0 million in long-term debt has a fixed coupon
      interest rate of 5.0% and is due in October 2002.

     Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

     Item 1. Legal Proceedings

            During the period from May 1999 through July 1999, seven purported
     class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for
     the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, styled as follows: (1)
     Elfie Echavarri v. CellStar Corporation, Alan H. Goldfield, Richard M.
     Gozia and Mark Q. Huggins; (2) Mark Krug v. CellStar Corporation, , Alan H.
     Goldfield, Richard M. Gozia and Mark Q. Huggins; (3) Jewell Wright v.
     CellStar Corporation, , Alan H. Goldfield, Richard M. Gozia and Mark Q.
     Huggins; (4) Theodore Weiss v. CellStar Corporation, , Alan H. Goldfield,
     Richard M. Gozia and Mark Q. Huggins; (5) Tony LaBella v. CellStar
     Corporation, , Alan H. Goldfield, Richard M. Gozia and Mark Q. Huggins; (6)
     Thomas F. Petrone v. CellStar Corporation, , Alan H. Goldfield, Richard M.
     Gozia and Mark Q. Huggins; and (7) Adele Brody v. CellStar Corporation, ,
     Alan H. Goldfield, Richard M. Gozia and Mark Q. Huggins. Each of the above
     lawsuits sought certification as a class action to represent those persons
     who purchased the publicly traded securities of the Company during the
     period from March 19, 1998, to September 21, 1998. Each of these lawsuits
     alleges that the Company issued a series of materially false and misleading
     statements concerning the Company's results of operations and investment in
     Topp Telecom, Inc. ("Topp"), resulting in violations of Section 10(b) and
     20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
     Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

            The Court entered an order on September 26, 1999 consolidating the
     above lawsuits and appointing lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs' counsel.
     On November 8, 1999, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint.
     The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated complaint and the
     Court granted that motion on August 3, 2000. The plaintiffs filed a Second
     Amended and Consolidated Complaint on September 1, 2000, essentially re-
     alleging the violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the

                                                                              21


     Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company filed a
     Motion to Dismiss plaintiffs' Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint on
     November 2, 2000, but the Court has not yet rendered a decision. The
     Company believes that is has fully complied with all applicable securities
     laws and regulations and that it has meritorious defenses to the
     allegations made in the Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint. The
     Company intends to vigorously defend the consolidated action if its Motion
     to Dismiss is denied.

            On August 3, 1998, the Company announced that the Securities and
     Exchange Commission (SEC) was conducting an investigation of the Company
     relating to its compliance with federal securities laws. On June 28, 2001,
     the Company announced that the SEC has terminated the investigation with no
     enforcement action recommended.

            The Company is a party to various other claims, legal actions and
     complaints arising in the ordinary course of business.

            Management believes that the disposition of these matters will not
     have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or
     results of operations of the Company.
