1. Overview Basis of presentation Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company," "Cooper-Standard," "we" or "us") is a leading manufacturer of fluid handling, body sealing, and Anti-Vibration Systems ("AVS") components, systems, subsystems, and modules. The Company's products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through their subsidiaries. On May 27, 2010 (the "Effective Date"), the Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 ("Chapter 11") of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 852, " Reorganizations ," the Company adopted fresh-start accounting upon its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes as of June 1, 2010. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the reporting entity subsequent to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (the "Successor") are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements for the reporting entity prior to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (the "Predecessor"). The "Company," when used in reference to the period subsequent to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, refers to the Successor, and when used in reference to periods prior to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, refers to the Predecessor. For further information, see Note 3, "Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code," and Note 4, "Fresh-Start Accounting," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
