NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

1.    Overview

Description of business

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., is a leading global manufacturer of body sealing, fluid handling, and noise, vibration, and harshness control (‘‘NVH’’) components, systems, subsystems, and modules, primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks for global original equipment manufacturers (‘‘OEMs’’) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2004 Acquisition

The Company acquired the Automotive segment of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (‘‘Cooper Tire’’) on December 23, 2004 for a cash purchase price of $1,165,000, subject to adjustment based on the amount of cash and cash equivalents less debt obligations and the difference between targeted working capital and working capital at the closing date (hereafter, the ‘‘2004 Acquisition’’). Final settlement of the working capital adjustment resulted in a payment of $54,000 in April 2005. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $24,000 of direct acquisition costs. The acquisition was funded through $318,000 of equity contributions, $200,000 of senior notes (the ‘‘Senior Notes’’), $350,000 of senior subordinated notes (the ‘‘Senior Subordinated Notes’’), and $350,000 of term loan facilities and a $125,000 of revolving credit facility (the ‘‘Senior Credit Facilities’’).

Acquisition of FHS

On February 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of the automotive fluid handling systems business of ITT Industries, Inc. (‘‘FHS’’). FHS, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, was a leading manufacturer of steel and plastic tubing for fuel and brake lines and quick-connects, and operated 15 facilities in seven countries. FHS was acquired for $205,000, subject to an adjustment based on the difference between targeted working capital and working capital at the closing date. Such adjustment is under review by the respective parties and is expected to be settled in the third quarter of 2006. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $5,060 of direct acquisition costs, principally for investment banking, legal, and other professional services, for a total acquisition value under purchase accounting of $210,060.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, ‘‘Business Combinations’’ (‘‘SFAS 141’’).

The acquisition of FHS was funded pursuant to an amendment to the Company's Senior Credit Facilities which established a Term Loan D facility, with a notional amount of $215,000. The Term

4




Loan D facility was structured in two tranches, with $190,000 borrowed in US dollars and €20,725 borrowed in Euros, to take into consideration the value of the European assets acquired in the transaction. The Company incurred approximately $4,800 of issuance costs associated with these borrowings, primarily for loan arrangement and syndication services, which are included in Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities provides for interest on Term Loan D borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a base rate established by reference to various market-based rates and amends the interest rate margins previously applicable to Term Loan B and Term Loan C borrowings to mirror those applicable to Term Loan D borrowings, which were market levels at the time the facility closed. The amendment also includes modifications to certain covenants under the Senior Credit Facilities, although the covenant threshold levels remain unchanged.

The acquisition of FHS was accounted for as a purchase business combination and accordingly, the assets purchased and liabilities assumed were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006. The operating results of FHS were included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. This allocation may change materially in the future as additional information becomes available, such as settlement of the working capital adjustment and final third party valuations of certain assets and liabilities.


Cash and cash equivalents $ 17
Accounts receivable, net 59,383
Inventories, net 25,694
Prepaid expenses 309
Property, plant, and equipment, net 101,409
Goodwill 46,733
Intangibles, net 26,600
Other assets 16,683
Total assets acquired 276,828
Accounts payable 26,053
Payroll liabilities 9,840
Accrued liabilities 8,773
Deferred income taxes 8,136
Other long-term liabilities 13,966
Total liabilities assumed 66,768
Net assets acquired $ 210,060

Petty cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities were stated at historical carrying values given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventories were recorded at fair value. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories were valued based on expected selling price less costs to complete, selling and disposal costs, and a normal profit. Raw material inventory was recorded at carrying value as such value approximates the replacement cost. Pension obligations have been recorded in the allocation of purchase price at the projected benefit obligation less plan assets at fair market value, based on computations made by independent actuaries. Deferred income taxes have been provided in the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the Company's estimates of the tax versus book basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, adjusted to estimated fair values. Property, plant, and equipment and identifiable intangible assets have been recorded at estimated fair value based on valuations prepared by independent appraisers. Restructuring reserves have been recorded based on estimated severance and other exit costs related to terminated FHS employees. As described in Note 3, management continues to review and finalize additional restructuring activities related to the acquisition of FHS. Additional reserves or costs related to these activities are anticipated as these plans are finalized.

5




Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology and customer contracts and relationships. Developed technology was valued based on the royalty savings method which allocates value based on what the Company would be willing to pay as a royalty to a third-party owner of the technology or trademark in order to exploit the economic benefits. The technology that has been valued under this approach are innovative and technological advancements within our businesses. A total value of $8,600 has been allocated to developed technology and trademarks and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over six to 12 years.

Customer contracts and relationships were valued using the income approach after considering a fair return on fixed assets, working capital, technology, and assembled workforce. A preliminary value of $9,000 has been assigned to customer contracts and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related contracts, estimated to average approximately nine years. A preliminary value of $9,000 has been assigned to customer relationships and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 20 years.

Management believes that the carrying values of all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximate their fair values.

The resulting goodwill after all identifiable intangible assets have been valued was $46,733, some of which is tax deductible. Factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in recognition of goodwill included FHS's leading market positions, comprehensive product lines, and geographically diverse global manufacturing and sales bases.

The following unaudited pro forma financial data summarizes the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, as if the acquisition of FHS had occurred as of January 1, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Pro forma adjustments include the removal of the results of operations of certain facilities retained by ITT Industries, Inc., liquidation of inventory fair value write-up as it had occurred during the reporting periods, depreciation and amortization to reflect the fair value of property, plant, and equipment and identified finite-lived intangible assets, the elimination of the amortization of unrecognized pension benefit losses, interest expense to reflect the Company's new capital structure, and certain corresponding adjustments to income tax expense. These unaudited pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been attained if the acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2005 or 2006 or that may be attained in the future and do not include other effects of the acquisition of FHS.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the prospective method. The prospective method requires compensation cost to be recognized beginning on the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date. The Company has not granted such share-based payments during the six months ended June 30, 2006. All awards granted prior to the effective date will be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (‘‘APB’’) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

Reclassifications

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

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (‘‘FIN’’) 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.’’    This interpretation clarifies the

6




accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes.’’ It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will be required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 05-5, ‘‘Accounting for Early Retirement or Post-employment Programs with Specific Features (Such As Terms Specified in Altersteilzeit Early Retirement Arrangements)’’ (‘‘EITF 05-5’’). EITF 05-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2005. The Company has various programs that fall under the Altersteilzeit (‘‘ATZ’’) program and the implementation of this EITF did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

2.    Goodwill and Intangibles

In connection with the acquisition of FHS, the Company recorded goodwill totaling $46,733 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Other changes to goodwill primarily consisted of tax related purchase accounting adjustments in connection with the 2004 Acquisition. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are summarized as follows:

The closures will be completed in 2006 and 2007 at an estimated total cost of $11,700, excluding costs recorded through purchase accounting. The Company had an accrual of $8,460 at January 1, 2006 for employee severance costs and other exit costs related to these closures. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded severance, asset impairment, and other exit costs of $403, $10, and $1,627, respectively, related to these previously announced actions.

7.    Income Taxes

Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, the Company is required to compute its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were 13% and 12%, respectively, as compared to 9% and 14%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 varied from the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower income tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions, and the benefit of tax credits offset by the effect of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which valuation allowances are recorded.
