Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CVG”, “Company” or “we”) design and manufacture seat systems, interior trim systems (including instrument and door panels, headliners, cabinetry, molded products and floor systems), cab structures and components, mirrors, wiper systems, electronic wiring harness assemblies and controls and switches for the global commercial vehicle market, including the heavy-duty truck market, the construction, military, bus, agriculture and specialty transportation markets. We have facilities located in the United States in Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington and outside of the United States in Australia, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Mexico, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and statements of financial position for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with our fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2011. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in thousands except per share amounts.

Revenues and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future operating quarters.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU clarifies the concepts related to highest and best use and valuation premise, blockage factors and other premiums and discounts, the fair value measurement of financial instruments held in a portfolio and of those instruments classified as a component of stockholders’ equity. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the use of nonfinancial assets, and the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early application is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU.

On January 28, 2011, we acquired all of the assets and certain liabilities related to Bostrom Seating, Inc. (“Bostrom”) for cash consideration of approximately $8.8 million (the “Bostrom acquisition”). Bostrom is a seat supplier to the North American heavy truck, aftermarket, bus and specialty vehicle markets. Bostrom has one owned manufacturing facility in Piedmont, Alabama. The acquisition of Bostrom further expands our North American presence in certain key end markets and enhances our overall aftermarket position. The operating results of Bostrom have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. From the date of acquisition through June 30, 2011, we recorded revenues of approximately $15.0 million and an operating loss of $0.1 million relating to Bostrom. Acquisition related expenses of approximately $0.4 million were incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and have been recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

The Bostrom acquisition was accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Bostrom based upon their respective fair values. The purchase price and costs associated with the Bostrom acquisition exceeded the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired by approximately $3.2 million. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, the purchase price was adjusted by approximately $0.1 million. In connection with the allocation of the purchase price, we recorded definite-lived intangible assets of approximately $3.1 million as shown in the following table (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2011 was as follows (in thousands):

The following pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 presents the result of operations as if the acquisition of Bostrom had taken place at the beginning of the periods. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or result of operations had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the periods. In addition, the pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the future financial or operating results (in thousands, except per share data):

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and revolving credit facility. The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value as a result of the short duration of such instruments or due to the variability of interest cost associated with such instruments.

The carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt obligations are as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of long-term debt obligations is based on quoted market prices or on rates available on debt with similar terms and maturities. Based on these inputs, our long-term debt is classified as Level 2.

Common Stock — Our authorized capital stock consists of 60,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, with 28,769,799 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011.

Preferred Stock — Our authorized capital stock consists of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, with no preferred shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011.

Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, and all other diluted per share amounts presented, is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period as determined by the Treasury Stock Method. Potential common shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes the effects of potential common shares consisting of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options when dilutive (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, diluted earnings per share did not include approximately 0.5 million of our non-vested restricted stock and 0.5 million outstanding stock options as the effect would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, diluted earnings per share did not include approximately 0.5 million outstanding stock options as the effect would have been antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, diluted earnings per share did not include approximately 0.5 million outstanding stock options, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive.

Dividends — We have not declared or paid any cash dividends in the past. The terms of our Loan and Security Agreement restrict the payment or distribution of our cash or other assets, including cash dividend payments.

Restricted Stock Awards — Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold, encumbered or disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment, prior to the end of a restricted period set by the compensation committee. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder, unless the compensation committee determines otherwise. The following table summarizes information about restricted stock grants as of June 30, 2011:

As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $5.8 million of unearned compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our equity incentive plans. This expense is subject to future adjustments for vesting and forfeitures and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of four months for the November 2008 awards, 16 months for the November 2009 awards and 28 months for the November 2010 awards, respectively.

The following table summarizes information about the non-vested restricted stock grants as of June 30, 2011:

As of June 30, 2011, 1,703,883 shares of the 4.6 million shares authorized for issuance were available for issuance under the Fourth Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, including cumulative forfeitures.

Trade accounts receivable are stated at current value less an allowance for doubtful accounts, which approximates fair value. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of our customers and our historical experience of write-offs. If not reserved through specific identification procedures, our general policy for uncollectible accounts is to reserve at a certain percentage threshold, based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable and our historical experience with write-offs. Past due status is based upon the due date of the original amounts outstanding. When items are ultimately deemed uncollectible, they are charged off against the reserve previously established in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Cost includes applicable material, labor and overhead. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed and, where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on our estimated production requirements driven by expected market volumes. Excess and obsolete provisions may vary by product depending upon future potential use of the product.

We review definite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such assets, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write down the assets to fair value as estimated from expected future discounted cash flows. Estimating the fair value of these assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain.

Our intangible assets were comprised of the following (in thousands):

We recorded approximately $3.1 million in definite-lived intangible assets (tradenames) with a useful life of 30 years in connection with the Bostrom acquisition.

The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense was approximately $94 thousand and $60 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $190 thousand and $120 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, and for the five succeeding years is as follows (in thousands):

In 2009, we announced the following restructuring plans:

We estimate that we will record total cash expenditures for all of these restructurings of approximately $6.7 million, consisting of approximately $2.5 million of severance costs and $4.2 million of facility closure costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred charges of approximately $0.2 million in facility closure costs. We have incurred cumulative restructuring charges of $5.9 million consisting of approximately $2.5 million of severance costs and $3.4 million of facility closure costs as of June 30, 2011.

A summary of the restructuring liability for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, we reclassified our held-for-sale assets pertaining to our Norwalk, Ohio facility consisting of $1.4 million in land and buildings and approximately $0.7 million in machinery and equipment to property, plant and equipment within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. This reclassification resulted from management’s decision to no longer actively market the sale of the assets.

Warranty — We are subject to warranty claims for products that fail to perform as expected due to design or manufacturing deficiencies. Customers continue to require their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the cost of repair or replacement of such products. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to our customers, a customer may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products when the product supplied did not perform as represented. Our policy is to reserve for estimated future customer warranty costs based on historical trends and current economic factors. The following represents a summary of the warranty provision for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (in thousands):

Leases — We lease office and manufacturing space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that require us to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses in addition to annual rents. As of June 30, 2011, our equipment leases did not provide for any material guarantee of a specified portion of residual values.

Guarantees — We accrue for costs associated with guarantees when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts, and where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. In accordance with accounting guidance for guarantees issued after December 31, 2002, we record a liability for the fair value of such guarantees in the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2011, we had no such guarantees.

Litigation — We are subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, product warranties, employment-related matters and environmental matters. Management believes that we maintain adequate insurance to cover these claims. We have established reserves for issues that are probable and estimable in amounts management believes are adequate to cover reasonable adverse judgments not covered by insurance.

Based upon the information available to management and discussions with legal counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to our business will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes of individual matters are not predictable with assurance.

Debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility — On January 7, 2009, we and certain of our direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent and lender, which provided for a three-year asset-based revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”) with an aggregate principal amount of up to $37.5 million (after giving effect to a second amendment to our Loan and Security Agreement entered into on August 4, 2009), which was subject to an availability block. On April 26, 2011, we entered into an amendment and restatement to the loan and security agreement governing the revolving credit facility (as so amended and restated, the “Loan and Security Agreement”) which, among other things, extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility to April 26, 2014, increased the revolving commitment to $40.0 million and revised the availability block to equal the amount of debt Bank of America, N.A. or its affiliates makes available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Up to an aggregate of $10.0 million is available to the borrowers for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduces availability under the revolving credit facility.

As of June 30, 2011, we did not have borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $3.2 million and borrowing availability of $36.8 million under the Loan and Security Agreement.

Our Loan and Security Agreement contains financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, if we do not maintain certain availability requirements. Because we had borrowing availability in excess of $10.0 million from March 31, 2011 through June 30, 2011, we were not required to comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Under the revolving credit facility, borrowings bear interest at various rates plus a margin based on certain financial ratios. The borrowers’ obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by a first-priority lien (subject to certain permitted liens) on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers, as well as 100% of the capital stock of the direct domestic subsidiaries of each borrower and 65% of the capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by a borrower. Each of CVG and each other borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the revolving credit facility and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance thereof.

The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based upon the fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recently ended fiscal quarter, as follows:

Until receipt by the agent of the financial statements and corresponding compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011, the applicable margin was set at Level II. Thereafter, the applicable margin shall be subject to increase or decrease following receipt by the agent of the financial statements and corresponding compliance certificate for each fiscal quarter. If the financial statements or corresponding compliance certificate are not timely delivered, then the highest rate shall be applicable until the first day of the calendar month following actual receipt.

We pay a commitment fee to the lenders, which is calculated at a rate per annum based on a percentage of the difference between committed amounts and amounts actually borrowed under the revolving credit facility multiplied by an applicable margin. The commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Currently, the unused commitment fees is (i) .500% per annum times the unused commitment during any fiscal quarter in which the aggregate average daily unused commitment is equal to or greater than 50% of the revolver commitments or (ii) .375% per annum times the unused commitment during any fiscal quarter in which the aggregate average daily unused commitment is less than 50% of the revolver commitments.

The revolving credit facility, as amended, contains customary restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur additional debt and guarantees; grant liens on assets; pay dividends or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; dispose of assets; make payments on certain indebtedness; merge, combine with any other person or liquidate; amend organizational documents; file consolidated tax returns with entities other than other borrowers or their subsidiaries; make material changes in accounting treatment or reporting practices; enter into restrictive agreements; enter into hedging agreements; engage in transactions with affiliates; enter into certain employee benefit plans; amend subordinated debt or the indenture governing the notes; and other matters customarily restricted in loan agreements. The revolving credit facility also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011.

The revolving credit facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, nonpayment of obligations under the revolving credit facility when due; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants in the revolving credit facility and certain other documents executed in connection therewith; breach or default of agreements related to debt in excess of $5.0 million that could result in acceleration of that debt; revocation or attempted revocation of guarantees; denial of the validity or enforceability of the loan documents or failure of the loan documents to be in full force and effect; certain judgments in excess of $2.0 million; the inability of an obligor to conduct any material part of its business due to governmental intervention, loss of any material license, permit, lease or agreement necessary to the business; cessation of an obligor’s business for a material period of time; impairment of collateral through condemnation proceedings; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; certain Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”) events; and a change in control of CVG. Certain of the defaults are subject to exceptions, materiality qualifiers, grace periods and baskets customary for credit facilities of this type.

Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are permitted at any time, without premium or penalty.

The revolving credit facility requires us to make mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions and upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds to the extent we do not use the proceeds for the purchase of assets useful in our business.

Refinancing Transactions — On April 26, 2011, we completed a private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “7.875% notes”). We used the net proceeds from the offering of the 7.875% notes (i) to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the second lien term loan, (ii) to fund the repurchase of approximately $94.0 million of the 8% senior notes due 2013 (the “8% senior notes”) (approximately 97.1% of the outstanding 8% senior notes) and approximately $48.0 million of the 11/13% third lien senior secured notes due 2013 (the “third lien notes”) (100% of the outstanding third lien notes) pursuant to tender offers and consent solicitations (the “Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations”) for the 8% senior notes and the third lien notes, and (iii) to pay related fees and expenses.

On April 26, 2011, in connection with the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations, we entered into amendments to the indentures governing the 8% senior notes and the third lien notes to, among other things, (i) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in the indentures, (ii) eliminate or modify certain events of default contained in the indentures, (iii) eliminate or modify related provisions contained in the indentures, and (iv) with respect to the third lien notes, eliminate certain conditions to covenant defeasance contained in the indenture governing such notes and release the liens in respect of such notes.

On June 1, 2011, we redeemed the remainder of the outstanding 8% senior notes at a price of 102% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to June 1, 2011 by issuing a Notice of Redemption to holders of the 8% senior notes on May 2, 2011.

7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 — The 7.875% notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 26, 2011 (the “7.875% Notes Indenture”), by and among CVG, certain of our subsidiaries party thereto, as guarantors (the “guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Interest is payable on the 7.875% notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year until their maturity date of April 15, 2019.

The 7.875% notes are senior secured obligations of CVG. Our obligations under the 7.875% notes are guaranteed by the guarantors. The obligations of CVG and the guarantors under the 7.875% notes are secured by a second-priority lien (subject to certain permitted liens) on substantially all of the property and assets of CVG and the guarantors, and a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of CVG’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting capital stock of each foreign subsidiary directly owned by CVG and the guarantors. The liens, the security interests and all of the obligations of CVG and the guarantors and all provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to an intercreditor agreement between the agent for the revolving credit facility and the collateral agent for the 7.875% notes.

The 7.875% Notes Indenture contains restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase capital stock; restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important qualifications set forth in the 7.875% Notes Indenture. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011.

The 7.875% Notes Indenture provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the indenture governing the 7.875% notes, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and certain defaults with respect to the security interests. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 7.875% notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the 7.875% notes to be due and payable immediately. All provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

We may redeem the 7.875% notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to April 15, 2014 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the “make-whole” premium set forth in the 7.875% Notes Indenture. We may redeem the 7.875% notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2014 at the redemption prices set forth in the 7.875% Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Not more than once during each twelve-month period ending on April 15, 2012, April 15, 2013 and April 15, 2014, we may redeem up to $25.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, at any time on or prior to April 15, 2014, on one or more occasions, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, as described in the 7.875% Notes Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. If we experience certain change of control events, holders of the 7.875% notes may require us to repurchase all or part of their notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

We, or one of our subsidiaries, file federal income tax returns in the United States and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by any of the taxing authorities for years before 2006. There is currently one income tax examination in process.

As of June 30, 2011, we have provided a liability of approximately $0.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax positions, which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

We accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. We had approximately $0.4 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2011, of which $0.2 million was accrued during the current year. Accrued interest and penalties are included in the $0.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits.

During the current quarter, we did not release any tax reserves associated with items falling outside the statute of limitations and the closure of certain tax years for examination purposes. Events could occur within the next 12 months that would have an impact on the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would be required. Approximately $2 thousand of unrecognized tax benefits relate to items that are affected by expiring statutes of limitation within the next 12 months.

We use forward exchange contracts to hedge certain of the foreign currency transaction exposures primarily related to our United Kingdom operations. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies or locations and will hedge a portion or all of the anticipated long or short positions. As of June 30, 2011, we did not have any derivatives designated as hedging instruments. As of June 30, 2010, our forward foreign exchange contracts have been marked-to-market and the fair value of contracts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting non-cash gain or loss recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue foreign exchange options or forward contracts for trading purposes.

The following table summarizes the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of operations for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (in thousands):

We sponsor pension and other post-retirement benefit plans that cover certain hourly and salaried employees in the United States and United Kingdom. Our policy is to make annual contributions to the plans to fund the normal cost as required by local regulations. In addition, we have a post-retirement benefit plan for certain U.S. operations, retirees and their dependents.

The components of net periodic benefit cost related to the pension and other post-retirement benefit plans was as follows (in thousands):

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, that we expect to contribute approximately $2.8 million to our pension plans and $0.3 million to our other post-retirement benefit plans in 2011. As of June 30, 2011, approximately $1.4 million of contributions have been made to our pension plans. We anticipate contributing an additional $1.4 million to our pension plans in 2011 for total estimated contributions during 2011 of $2.8 million.

We follow the comprehensive income accounting guidance, which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components. Comprehensive loss reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. Comprehensive loss represents net income adjusted for foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability. In accordance with the accounting guidance, we have elected to disclose comprehensive loss in stockholders’ investment. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of the following as of June 30, 2011 (in thousands):

Comprehensive income (loss) was as follows (in thousands):

In May 2008, we entered into a freight services arrangement with Group Transportation Services Holdings, Inc. (“GTS”), a third party logistics and freight management company. Under this arrangement, which was approved by our Audit Committee on April 29, 2008, GTS manages a portion of our freight and logistics program as well as administers its payments to additional third party freight service providers. In May 2010, GTS merged with Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (“RRTS”) in connection with the initial public offering of RRTS. Chad M. Utrup, our Chief Financial Officer, was elected to the Board of Directors of RRTS in May 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we made payments (net of pass through payments to other third party freight service providers) to GTS/RRTS of approximately $0.2 million for these services.
