                              CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

      Certain statements in this Form 10-K constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of Brightpoint, Inc. to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, without limitation,
uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments, including, without
limitation, (i) loss of significant customers or a reduction in prices we charge
these customers; (ii) possible adverse effect on demand for our products
resulting from consolidation of mobile operator customers; (iii) dependence upon
principal suppliers and availability and price of wireless products; (iv)
possible adverse effects of future medical claims regarding the use of wireless
handsets; (v) possible difficulties collecting our accounts receivable; (vi) our
ability to increase volumes and maintain our margins; (vii) our ability to
expand geographically on a satisfactory basis, through acquisition or otherwise;
(viii) uncertainty regarding future volatility in our Common Stock price; (ix)
uncertainty whether wireless equipment manufacturers and wireless network
operators will continue to outsource aspects of their business to us; (x) our
reliance upon third parties to manufacture products which we distribute and
reliance upon their quality control procedures; (xi) our operations may be
materially affected by fluctuations in regional demand and economic factors;
(xii) ability to respond to rapid technological changes in the wireless
communications and data industry; (xiii) access to or the cost of increasing
amounts of capital, trade credit or other financing; (xiv) risks of foreign
operations, including currency, trade restrictions and political risks in our
foreign markets; (xv) effect of hostilities or terrorist attacks on our
operations; (xvi) investment in sophisticated information systems technologies
and our reliance upon the proper functioning of such systems; (xvii) ability to
borrow additional funds; (xviii) our ability to meet intense industry
competition; (xix) ability to manage and sustain future growth at our historical
or industry rates; (xx) certain relationships and financings, which may provide
us with minimal returns or losses on our investments; (xxi) the impact that
seasonality may have on our business and results; (xxii) ability to attract and
retain qualified management and other personnel, cost of complying with labor
agreements and high rate of personnel turnover; (xxiii) ability to protect our
proprietary information; (xxiv) our significant payment obligations under
certain lease and other contractual arrangements; (xxv) ability to maintain
adequate insurance at a reasonable cost; (xxvi) the potential issuance of
additional equity, including our common shares, which could result in dilution
of existing shareholders and may have an adverse impact on the price of our
common shares; and (xxvii) existence of anti-takeover measures. Because of the
aforementioned uncertainties affecting our future operating results, past
performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future
performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future
results or trends. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
