Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) and other equity securities of the Company. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on the Company’s review of such forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that all filing requirements applicable to the Company’s executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except for the following: In fiscal 2002, Mr. Kaiser, upon becoming an executive

officer of the Company on December 12, 2001, did not timely file a Form 3; in fiscal 2001, Mr. Parker did not timely file a Form 4 or Form 5 reporting a change in beneficial ownership in connection with the acquisition of options to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to his employment agreement dated July 5, 2001; and for fiscal 2000, the Company is unable to locate evidence that Mr. Thompson timely filed a Form 4 reporting a change in beneficial ownership in connection with a purchase of shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Thompson therefore filed a Form 5 in December of 2002 reporting beneficial ownership of such shares.

Compensation of Directors

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002, each director of the Company who was not an officer or other employee of the Company (an “Independent Director”) received an annual retainer fee of $25,000, plus $1,500 for each meeting of the Board of Directors or committee of the Board of Directors that he attended and $750 for each telephonic Board of Directors or committee meeting that he attended. To the extent that any committee meeting is held on the same day as a full Board of Directors meeting or another committee meeting, only one $1,500 or $750 fee (as applicable) was paid. The Company also pays a per diem fee of $1,500 to each Independent Director for each day such director performs additional services for the Company at the request of the Chief Executive Officer. There were no per diem fees paid to any director for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002.

In July 2001, Mr. Johnson was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Johnson whereby he would receive annual compensation of $250,000 for serving as non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, in addition to whatever compensation and expense reimbursement he is entitled to as an Independent Director. Mr. Johnson received $250,000 for his services as Chairman during fiscal 2002, in addition to $55,000 in director and retainer fees as described above.

Pursuant to the Company’s 1994 Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”), each Independent Director automatically receives an option (the “Initial Option”) to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock upon becoming an Independent Director. In addition to the Initial Option, each Independent Director receives an annual grant pursuant to the 1993 Plan of an option (the “Annual Option”) to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock, which option will be automatically granted on the date of the first full Board of Directors meeting following the end of each fiscal year. The Annual Option will vest with respect to 25% of the shares covered thereby on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and will expire ten years following the date of grant. The exercise price of all options granted to Independent Directors must be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The Directors’ Plan expires on March 3, 2004.

Directors who are also employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for serving as directors. All directors of the Company are entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their travel to, and attendance at, meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements

The Company entered into employment agreements (collectively, the “Employment Agreements” or individually, an “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Parker, Mr. Horng, Mr. Kaiser, and Ms. Rodriguez (collectively, the “Executives” and individually, an “Executive”), effective July 5, 2001, July 5, 2002, December 12, 2001, and January 21, 2000, respectively. The Employment Agreements of Messrs. Parker, Horng, Kaiser and Ms. Rodriguez provide for annual base salaries of $850,000, $900,000, $450,000 and $250,000, respectively. Mr. Kaiser also received a signing bonus of $300,000. Mr. Horng received a signing bonus of $1.5 million, subject to repayment provisions if Mr. Horng terminates his Employment Agreement under certain conditions, and a success bonus of $1.5 million payable upon completion of the Company’s divestiture (the “Spinoff”) of up to 70% of its operations in the Peoples’ Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan (the “Greater China Operations”), consisting of substantially all of its Asian operations; provided, however, that in the event the market capitalization, at the time of the Spinoff, of the holding company formed to hold the Greater China Operations (“New CellStar Asia”) is $250.0 million or greater as determined by CellStar, New CellStar Asia and the underwriters pursuant to the terms of the Spinoff, the success bonus will be increased to $2.5 million. The Employment Agreement with Mr. Horng will terminate upon completion of the Spinoff without payment of compensation and will be replaced by a new employment agreement between New CellStar Asia and Mr. Horng. Each of the Employment Agreements also provides that the Executive is eligible to participate in an annual incentive plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors during the term of his or her Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to his original Employment Agreement, the Company acknowledged Mr. Kaiser’s desire to assume greater responsibility for business operations, particularly in the North American Region of the Company’s subsidiary, CellStar, Ltd. (“Employer”). Employer agreed to establish an escrow account in the amount of $700,000, which amount was to be paid to Mr. Kaiser in the event that he was not named as Senior Vice President of the Company and President of Employer’s North American Region on or before June 1, 2002. Mr. Kaiser, the Company and Employer executed a First Amendment to Employment Agreement, effective as of April 2, 2002, which removed the requirement for the escrow and extended the date for the Company and Employer to name Mr. Kaiser as Senior Vice President of the Company and President of Employer’s North American Region to on or before September 1, 2002. Mr. Kaiser, the Company and Employer executed a Second Amendment to Employment Agreement, effective as of September 10, 2002, which provided for the payment of

$200,000 to Mr. Kaiser in consideration for Mr. Kaiser’s agreement to further extend the date by which he would be named as Senior Vice President of the Company and President of Employer’s North American Region to on or before March 1, 2003. The amendment further reduces the amount payable in the event Mr. Kaiser is not so named to $500,000. Such date may be extended an additional 90 days by mutual written agreement of the parties. Mr. Kaiser, the Company and Employer executed a Third Amendment to Employment Agreement as of February 28, 2003, extending the date by which he would be named as Senior Vice President of the Company and President of Employer’s North American Region to on or before May 1, 2003. No additional compensation was paid to Mr. Kaiser for such extension.

The Company is obligated, during the term of his Employment Agreement, to provide to Mr. Kaiser a life insurance policy with a face amount of $1,500,000 and a disability insurance policy with an annual disability benefit of $200,000 until attainment of age 65. The Company has in place insurance to cover a portion of such expenses. Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Horng are each eligible to participate in the life, health and disability insurance programs customarily made available to employees of the Company.

Each of the Employment Agreements has an initial term of four years, except that of Mr. Horng. Mr. Horng’s Employment Agreement expires on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Board of Directors of the Company notifies Mr. Horng that it has determined to discontinue the automatic daily extension of the Employment Agreement. Pursuant to his Employment Agreement, Mr. Horng is an employee of CellStar Asia, and any continuing obligations of the Company contained in his Employment Agreement will terminate upon the completion of the Spinoff. Upon such termination, Mr. Horng’s outstanding options to purchase Common Stock will expire 30 days after the termination date. All of the Employment Agreements are subject to earlier termination as follows: (i) by the Company (a) due to the disability of the Executive, (b) for “cause” or (c) “without cause”; or (ii) by the Executive (a) upon a material breach by the Company of the Employment Agreement (“Company Breach”), (b) within twelve months of a “change in control” or (c) without “good reason” (defined as termination for any reason other than Company Breach). If any Executive terminates his or her employment due to Company Breach or if any Executive is terminated by the Company “without cause,” he or she will be entitled to receive his or her accrued but unpaid base salary and annual incentive payments through the date of termination plus an amount equal to the product of (i)(a) his or her base salary plus (b) the amount of his or her annual incentive payments for the preceding year divided by 365 and (ii) multiplied by (a) with respect to the employees other than Mr. Horng, the lesser of (x) 720 or (y) the greater of the number of days remaining in the term of his or her employment or 365 or (b) with respect to Mr. Horng only, the number of days from the date the Board of Directors notifies Mr. Horng that it has determined to discontinue the automatic daily extension of his Employment Agreement to the end of the term, which period shall equal five years. In the event of termination of employment after a “change in control,” each of the Executives will be entitled to receive an amount equal to $100 less than three times his or her “annualized includable compensation for the base period” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) or such lesser amount that is the maximum payment permitted by the Code that does not constitute an “excess parachute payment.”

Under the Employment Agreements, a termination will be deemed to be “without cause” if it is for any reason other than due to the disability of the Executive or for “cause.” Under the Employment Agreements, a termination will generally be considered to be for “cause” if it is due to the Executive’s (i) continued unsatisfactory job performance after written warning or, in the cases of Messrs. Horng and Kaiser, gross incompetence or, in the case of Mr. Parker, willful failure to perform his duties, (ii) misconduct or, in the cases of Messrs. Horng and Kaiser, willful misconduct, that causes or is likely to cause material economic harm to, or discredit to the reputation of, the Company or its affiliated entities, (iii) failure to follow the directions of senior management or the Boards of Directors of the Company or the Executive’s employer, (iv) conviction of or a plea of nolo contendre to a felony involving moral turpitude or the entry of an order by any federal or state regulatory agency prohibiting the Executive from participating in the affairs of the Company, or (v) any other material breach of his Employment Agreement that is not cured within thirty days after receipt of written notice from the Company specifying the breach.

For purposes of the Employment Agreements a “change in control” will be deemed to occur upon the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger; (2) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (3) any approval by the stockholders of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (4) the cessation of control (by virtue of their not constituting a majority of directors) of the Board of Directors by the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Employment Agreements); or (5) subject to applicable law, in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding, the appointment of a trustee or the conversion of a case involving the Company to a case under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Ms. Rodriguez’s Employment Agreement was amended effective as of September 10, 2002 so that neither (i) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 15% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities by any person or group who beneficially owned less than 10% of such voting power on the date of the Employment Agreement, or the acquisition of beneficial ownership of an additional 5% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities by any person or group who beneficially owned at least 10% of such voting power on the date of the Employment Agreement nor (ii) the execution by the Company and a stockholder of a contract that by its terms grants such stockholder or such stockholder’s affiliate the right to veto or block decisions or actions of the Board of Directors, would constitute a change in control for purposes of the Employment Agreement. This amendment is consistent with the terms of the existing Employment Agreements of Mr. Parker and Mr. Kaiser, and with the recent Employment Agreement of Mr. Horng.

The Employment Agreements also provide that the Executives will be indemnified by the Company to the extent provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws as of the date of the Employment Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by changes to Delaware law. The Employment Agreements of all Executives include non-competition and confidentiality provisions.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

For fiscal 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consisted of J.L. Jackson (Chairman), James L. Johnson, and Jere W. Thompson. No member of the Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Mr. Johnson, who also serves as the Company’s non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, received a total of $305,000 in compensation for holding such position in fiscal year 2002. See “Executive Compensation—Compensation of Directors.” Mr. Johnson was the only member of the Compensation Committee that had any relationship requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. No executive officer of the Company served on the compensation committee, or as a director, of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Company’s Compensation Committee or on its Board of Directors in fiscal 2002.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on Executive Compensation

General. Subject to existing contractual obligations, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is primarily responsible for evaluating and recommending the Company’s executive compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee also has the power to administer the 1993 Plan, the Incentive Plan and the Directors’ Plan. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Messrs. J.L. Jackson (Chairman), James L. Johnson and Jere W. Thompson.

Compensation Philosophy. The Company’s philosophy of rewarding stockholders through executive compensation reflects its belief that the compensation of executives (i) should be linked to achievement of the Company’s business and strategic goals; (ii) should be aligned with the interests of stockholders through awards of stock options and other stock-based compensation; (iii) should recognize individual contributions, as well as

overall business results; and (iv) should have the ultimate result of attracting, motivating and retaining highly-talented executives for the Company. To achieve these objectives, the Company’s current compensation program consists of the following elements:

•

Base salary

•

Annual incentive compensation, the receipt of which is based on (i) the financial performance of the Company and its divisions from year to year and/or (ii) significant individual contributions

•

Long-term incentive compensation, primarily in the form of stock options

Chief Executive Officer’s Fiscal 2002 Compensation. Mr. Parker was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company in July 2001. Pursuant to Mr. Parker’s Employment Agreement, the Company pays an annual base salary of $850,000, which was based on competitive and comparable compensation for the position of responsibility as reviewed and recommended by an outside consulting firm hired by the Company. For fiscal 2002, Mr. Parker’s base salary was increased to $950,000. The increase in Mr. Parker’s base salary was attributable to the recognition of the Company’s performance in light of significant challenges with which it was faced in fiscal 2002, including the successful completion of the exchange offer for the Notes and the Reverse Split. In addition, Mr. Parker is eligible for an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of his annual base salary, as approved by the Board, based on the attainment of certain goals related to the creation, conservation and effective use of cash by the Company, an increase in the Company’s stock price, and other factors. Mr. Parker did not receive any option grants in fiscal 2002.

Compensation of Other Executive Officers. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002, the compensation package received by the other executives of the Company consisted of base salary, stock options and bonus awards. Each element is consistent with the compensation philosophy set forth above, and the determinations regarding the appropriate form and level of executive compensation were based in part on the recommendations of management. Such recommendations reflected each individual’s level of responsibility and experience and the assessment of the individual’s contribution to the success of the Company’s business. In December of 2001, the Company appointed Robert Kaiser as its new Chief Financial Officer. The Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Kaiser effective December 12, 2001 providing for an annual base salary of $450,000 and a potential annual incentive bonus as approved by the Board. Mr. Kaiser also received a signing bonus of $300,000. In addition, Mr. Kaiser was granted options to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock at the time of his appointment, or 80,000 shares of Common Stock taking into account the subsequent Reverse Split, of which the exercise price was fixed at the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. The options vest at the rate of 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, unless Mr. Kaiser is terminated without cause, in which case the options will immediately vest. Mr. Kaiser’s Employment Agreement and the subsequent amendments thereto are discussed in more detail under the heading “Executive Compensation—Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Agreements.” Mr. Kaiser did not receive any additional option grants in fiscal 2002. The Compensation Committee based Mr. Kaiser’s compensation on his considerable past work experience and the significant challenges facing the Company, among other factors.

In July of 2002, the Company entered into a new Employment Agreement with A.S. Horng, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of CellStar Asia, providing for an annual base salary of $900,000 and a potential annual incentive bonus as approved by the Board. Pursuant to the new Employment Agreement, Mr. Horng was granted options to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock the exercise price of which was fixed at the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. The options vest at the rate of 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Mr. Horng’s Employment Agreement is discussed in more detail under the heading “Executive Compensation—Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements.” The Compensation Committee based Mr. Horng’s compensation on the importance of Mr. Horng to the continued success of the Greater China Operations and to the successful completion of the Spinoff, among other factors. The Company continues to place its emphasis on

compensation that would more closely align the executives’ interests with the stockholders’ interests. Therefore, as with the Chief Executive Officer, a significant percentage of each executive’s total compensation opportunity was tied to performance of the Company and individual achievement. Awards are made in the form of cash bonus and stock option grants.

Subject to achievement by the Company of specific performance targets, certain of the Company’s executives are eligible to receive incentive bonuses under the Incentive Plan ranging from 33% to 100% of their base salaries. The percentage of the bonus amount awarded is based on the extent to which the Company is successful in creating, conserving, and effectively using cash, in addition to individual or operating unit performance factors.

In considering stock option grants to the Company’s executives, the Compensation Committee reviewed recommendations of executive management, considering each executive’s current and future ability to impact achievement of strategic goals and objectives. Emphasis on equity compensation through stock option grants is believed to be effective because it more closely aligns the interests of the executives and the Company’s stockholders for both near and long-term. All options granted during fiscal 2002 to the Company’s executives were granted at the fair market value on the date of grant. All of such options vest at a rate of 25% per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. See “Executive Compensation—Option Grants During 2002 Fiscal Year.” An executive will receive full benefits from the option grant only if the Company’s stock price appreciates and only if the executive remains with the Company for the full term of vesting.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) provides for an annual $1,000,000 limitation (the “Deduction Limitation”) on the deduction that an employer may claim for compensation of certain executives but also provides an exception to the Deduction Limitation for certain performance-based compensation. It is the intent of the Compensation Committee to ensure that executive compensation is deductible through such an exception or otherwise, provided that qualification is in the best interests of the Company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

A.S. Horng, the Chairman, CEO and General Manager of CellStar Asia, and an executive officer of the Company, will own 85% of a newly-formed company (“ManCo”) that will own 20% of the outstanding shares in New CellStar Asia. The remaining 15% of ManCo will be owned by Lawrence King, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Asia-Pacific Region, Conor Yang, Chief Financial Officer of the Asia-Pacific Region, and Peng-Hong See, Vice President of CellStar Asia, who will each own 5% of ManCo. Neither Mr. Yang nor Mr. See is considered by the Company to be an executive officer. Assuming the market value of New CellStar Asia at the time of the Spinoff is $250.0 million, Mr. Horng’s ownership interest in ManCo would be worth approximately $42.5 million, and Mr. King’s ownership interest in ManCo would be worth approximately $2.5 million. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Horng will receive a cash bonus of $1.5 million upon the successful completion of the Spinoff. In the event the market capitalization of New CellStar Asia at the time of the Spinoff, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Spinoff, is greater than or equal to $250.0 million, such cash bonus will be increased to $2.5 million. Mr. Horng and Mr. King are the only directors or executive officers of the Company who have a direct financial interest in the Spinoff.

In recognition of the key roles the Company’s directors, certain executive officers and certain key employees have played in the Spinoff, such individuals were granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Spinoff Options”) containing certain incentives for the completion of the Spinoff. The Spinoff Options were granted on January 22, 2003 at an exercise price of $5.45 per share, which was the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the grant date, and will become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares covered by the Spinoff Options on each anniversary of the grant date; provided, however, that 100% of the shares shall become exercisable immediately upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Spinoff, if the Spinoff yields to the Company proceeds of US$50 million or more in cash or cash equivalents, (ii) if the grantee is a non-employee director, such person is not nominated and re-elected to the Board of Directors, or (iii) if the grantee is an employee, such person’s employment is terminated without cause. The Spinoff Options will terminate if not exercised within 10 years from the grant date. The grants of the Spinoff Options were as follows:

Name and Principal Position	Number of Spinoff Options Granted
Terry S. Parker	50,000

In July, 2001, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Alan H. Goldfield, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, under which the Company engaged Mr. Goldfield to perform such services for the Company as are mutually agreeable to Mr. Goldfield and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Under the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Goldfield has the honorary title of “Chairman Emeritus” of the Company but is not a director, officer or employee of the Company and has no authority to act on behalf of the Company. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Goldfield 5% of net earnings from specified new lines of business conducted by the Company in PRC, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines (the “Earnout”) through November 30, 2006 if not earlier terminated, but not to exceed $15,000,000. New business lines covered by the Earnout include the sale of prepaid calling cards, the sale of specified paging and long distance services, the sale of “Tai Chi box” services and products and the sale of personal digital assistants and digital cameras. For fiscal year 2002, the Company paid Mr. Goldfield $241,077 in connection with services provided pursuant to his Separation Agreement and Release effective July 5, 2001. No payments have been made pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. The Consulting Agreement terminates on the earlier of November 30, 2006, a termination of Mr. Goldfield for cause by the Company, the death of Mr. Goldfield, written notice of termination by either party as a result of the disability of Mr. Goldfield or voluntary termination by Mr. Goldfield upon not less than 30 days prior written notice. Under the Consulting Agreement, a termination will generally be considered for “cause” if it is due to Mr. Goldfield’s (i) willful gross misconduct, (ii) conviction of a felony, (iii) breach of his covenants of confidentiality and non-competition set forth in the Consulting Agreement or (iv) violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. In the event of termination due to the death or disability of Mr. Goldfield, the Company must still pay the Earnout through November 30, 2006.

The Consulting Agreement also includes non-competition and confidentiality provisions. The non-competition provision is effective until the later of July 5, 2003 or the date the Consulting Agreement is terminated.
