FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2006

(unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the management of Flow International Corporation (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items and accruals necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. These interim financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be read in conjunction with the April 30, 2005 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) on January 31, 2006. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Operating results for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 may not be indicative of future results.

2.	Restatement

As reported in the Company’s April 30, 2005 Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 and No. 2, the Company identified errors in the Consolidated Financial Statements related to the impairment of goodwill, the valuation of anti-dilution warrants, additional costs incurred on percentage-of-completion contracts and the presentation of percentage-of-completion related balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the computation of stock compensation expense, the allocation of the valuation allowance to deferred tax asset and liability balances, the recording of straight-line rent expense, the classification of technical service expenses, income tax provision and the recording of minority interest. The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended April 30, 2005 as described in the Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 and No. 2. These errors impacted the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2005, included in this Form 10-Q related to the Company’s balance sheet presentation of accounts receivable and cash receipts relating to contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recorded a reduction in receivables and customer deposits of $7.8 million. The effect of this error did not impact total cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s original Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2005, and as reported in the Company’s April 30, 2005 Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2, the Company identified errors in the Consolidated Financial Statements related to the income tax provision and the recording of minority interest. These misstatements occurred because the Company incorrectly calculated the consolidated tax provision by an amount equal to the separate tax provision of Flow Autoclave Systems, Inc. (“Flow Autoclave”). The Company also reviewed the accounting for minority interest in Flow Autoclave (included in Discontinued Operations) and determined that it had incorrectly recorded minority interest based on pre-tax income rather than on after-tax income. These errors impacted the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2005, included in this Form 10-Q. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended January 31, 2005 was not impacted.

In addition, the Company identified errors in the classification of expenses between Cost of Sales, Sales and Marketing Expenses, Research and Engineering Expenses and General and Administrative Expenses for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2005. These errors had no impact on Loss from Continuing

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2006

3.	Liquidity

On July 8, 2005, the Company executed a new $30 million, three year senior credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America N.A. and U.S. Bank N.A. This credit agreement expires July 8, 2008 and bears interest at the bank’s prime rate (7.5% at January 31, 2006) or is linked to LIBOR plus a percentage depending on the Company’s leverage ratios, at the Company’s option.

The Company’s Credit Agreement is its primary source of external funding. At January 31, 2006, the balance outstanding on the Credit Agreement was $9.5 million against a maximum available borrowing of $30 million. The available credit at January 31, 2006, net of $2.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, was $18.3 million.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash from operations, and credit facilities at January 31, 2006 are adequate to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

4.	Restructuring

In fiscal 2005, the Company completed the execution of a restructuring plan, begun in May 2003, intended to return the Company to profitability through reductions in headcount, consolidation of facilities and operations, and closure or divestiture of selected operations.

In June 2005, under a new initiative, the Company announced the closing and relocation of its Wixom, Michigan facility to its Burlington, Ontario facility. The Company terminated 25 employees and recorded associated severance benefits of $175,000 which were paid in the first six months of fiscal 2006. In October 2005, once the facility was vacated, the Company recorded restructuring charges related to lease termination costs of $278,000, net of expected sublease income, and wrote off leasehold improvements of $108,000 related to this leased space.

In January 2006, the Company reassessed its lease accrual as it has been unsuccessful in its efforts to sublease the vacated facility and increased the accrual by $76,000.

The remaining accrued facility exit costs for all segments of $594,000, which consist of long-term lease commitments, net of expected sublease income, will be paid primarily over the next two years.

5.	Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s plan to sell certain of its non-core businesses as a result of the strategy to divest itself of operations that are not part of its core ultra-high-pressure water pump business. On September 30, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to divest its General Press operations, which consist of the North America Press and the International Press segments, as well as the non-ultrahigh-pressure portion of the Food segment. The ultrahigh-pressure portion of the Food segment will be shown in North America Waterjet on a go-forward basis. The sale of the business, collectively hereafter referred to as the Avure Business, was consummated on October 31, 2005. The consideration included cash of $6 million, less a working capital adjustment of $951,000, which was received on November 1, 2005, and a promissory note of $8 million payable 90 days after closing at a simple interest rate of 10% per annum. These amounts are included in the Receivable from Purchaser of Avure Business on the January 31, 2006 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company received a promissory note of $2 million payable at 3 years after closing at a simple interest rate of 6% per annum. The $2 million promissory note was reduced by 50% of the pension balance of the International Press segment as of October 31, 2005 or $687,500 and is included in Other Assets on the January 31, 2006 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. On March 14, 2006, the Company received the payment of principal and interest on the $8 million promissory note which had been due 90 days after closing.

The purchaser of the Avure Business (“Purchaser”) subsequently claimed that it is entitled to a further working capital adjustment, which claim the Company has disputed, and the Company and the Purchaser have agreed to resolve this claim in accordance with the procedure agreed on at the time of sale. The Company and the Purchaser have also agreed that the Purchaser shall have a limited right to prepay, at a 12.5% discount, the balance of the promissory note due 3 years after closing. The Company and the Purchaser have further agreed to amend certain terms of the agreement providing for the supply by the Company to the Purchaser of pumps and spare parts.

The Company initially recorded a loss of $1,147,000, net of income taxes of $334,000, on the sale. For the three month period ended January 31, 2006, the Company has increased its Loss on Sale of Discontinued Operations by $300,000 as its best estimate of the amount to settle the working capital dispute, and by $107,000 as a discount on the 3 year note, for a total of $407,000.

The Company has classified the financial results of its Avure Business as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 30, 2005 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2005 do not reflect discontinued operations treatment for the Avure Business as the Company has elected not to reclassify its balance sheets or cash flows for this discontinued operation because the amounts were not material.

Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations is set forth below (dollars in thousands):

6.	Loss Per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

Basic net loss per share represents net loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share represents net loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding including the potentially dilutive impact of stock options and warrants, where appropriate. Potential common share equivalents of stock options and warrants are computed by the treasury stock method and are included in the denominator for computation of earnings per share if such equivalents are dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Dilutive potential common shares from warrants		—			—			—			—

Denominator for diluted loss from continuing operations per share—weighted average shares and assumed conversions		34,653			15,950			34,516			15,847

Basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per share	$	(0.06	)	$	(0.14	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.27	)

The effect of all stock options (a total of 1,483,678 and 2,121,480 at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) and warrants (a total of 2,269,465 shares and 1,167,891 shares at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) have been excluded from the diluted weighted average share denominator for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company engaged an independent third party in a Consulting Agreement effective March 1, 2003 to provide executive coaching and organizational services. In partial consideration for such services, the Company issued 25,303 unregistered shares of common stock, valued at $70,000 which was expensed during the nine months ended January 31, 2005.

On July 28, 2004, in connection with the execution of amendments to its senior credit and subordinated debt agreement, the Company issued to the senior lenders and the subordinated lender a total of 300,000 detachable warrants to purchase common stock at $.01 per share as a fee.

On March 21, 2005, the Company sold 17,473,116 equity units at 3.72 per unit in a Private Investment in Public Equity Transaction (“PIPE Transaction”). A unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant to buy 1/10th of a share of common stock. Total warrants issued amount to a share equivalent of 1,747,312 and entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $4.07.

Because the market price of the common stock issued in the PIPE exceeded $3.70, the Company issued approximately 304,000 anti-dilution warrants to the current warrant holders prior to the PIPE Transaction.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“FAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” to stock-based employee compensation. Because the Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets there are no tax effects related to the stock-based compensation items below.

Effective February 23, 2006, the Company amended the term of its key executive retention program agreements entered into with certain executives in July 2003, at the beginning of its turnaround. These agreements were intended to provide key executives with incentives to remain with the Company by providing periodic cash payments and a stock distribution in January 2007. As the Company’s financial condition has improved, thus reducing the risk that key executives will seek other employment, and the Company’s stock price has risen increasing the cost to the Company associated with the equity portion of the retention agreements, the Company has agreed to terminate these agreements and distribute remaining unpaid amounts. The Company accrued a total of $1.5 million during the three months ended January 31, 2006 which included $899,000 from the impact of the acceleration on awards of restricted stock units under these agreements and their termination.

7.	Segment Information

Commensurate with the disposition of the Avure Business in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company classified its Avure Business as a discontinued operation. The Avure Business was reported as three separate reportable segments, which were Food, North America Press and International Press. See Note 5 for additional information about the Company’s discontinued operations.

The Company retained four reportable segments after the sale of Avure Business. These segments, North America Waterjet, Asia Waterjet, Other International Waterjet and Other (together known as Waterjet), utilize the Company’s released pressure technology. The Waterjet operation includes cutting and cleaning operations, which are focused on providing total solutions for the aerospace, automotive, job shop, surface preparation and paper industries. Segment operating results are measured by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer based on operating income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s April 30, 2005 Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2.

A summary of operations by reportable segment is as follows:

During the three months ended January 31, 2006, the Company reviewed the estimated useful life and salvage value assumptions for its evaluation units which are included in finished goods inventory. The Company determined that these estimates should be changed and recorded a related charge of $220,000 related to the change in salvage value.

10.

Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, the tax provision consists of current expense related to operations in foreign jurisdictions which are profitable and without loss carryforwards. In addition, certain operations in jurisdictions (principally Germany and the US) reported net operating losses for which no benefit was recognized as it is more likely than not that such benefit will not be realized.

Due to a history of losses and uncertainty of future earnings, the Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets, arising in all tax jurisdictions because the realization of such assets is not more likely than not. The domestic net operating losses can be carried forward 20 years to offset domestic profits in future periods and expire from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2024 and other foreign net operating losses have no expiration dates.

In fiscal 2004, the Company has determined it is no longer able to permanently defer undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and has recorded a $1.7 million liability for withholding taxes payable on future repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company has continued to record liabilities for withholding taxes on earnings of these foreign operations. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, the Company repatriated $0 million and $1.4 million from certain foreign subsidiaries and plans to continue to repatriate additional earnings in the future.

	$	13,139		$	5,704

Notes Payable	$	2,311		$	3,531

On July 8, 2005, the Company signed the Credit Agreement. The Company expensed $489,000 of fees during the nine months ended January 31, 2006 related to the prior credit agreement all in the first fiscal quarter of 2006. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $30 million with a maturity date of July 8, 2008 and is collateralized by a general lien on all of the Company’s assets. Interest rates under the Agreement are at LIBOR plus a percentage depending on leverage ratios or at the Bank of America’s prime rate in effect from time to time, at the Company’s option. LIBOR and the prime rate at January 31, 2006 were 4.57% and 7.5%, respectively. The rate in effect on the balance outstanding at January 31, 2006 was 7.5%. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with funded debt, tangible net worth and liquidity ratios. The Company also pays an annual letter of credit fee equal to 2.5% of the amount drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The annual letter of credit fee is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Credit Agreement, similar to prior agreements, includes a subjective acceleration clause which permits the lenders to demand payment in the event of a material adverse change. The prior credit agreement, however, included a process whereby the Company’s current excess cash receipts directly reduced the outstanding senior credit facility balance. Therefore, at April 30, 2005, the balance outstanding was classified as a current liability. The Credit Agreement does not include this provision, therefore, the outstanding balance is classified in Long-Term Obligations.

As of January 31, 2006, the Company had $18.3 million of domestic unused line of credit, net of $2.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and $9.5 million in outstanding borrowings.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of January 31, 2006 and for the quarter then ended.

The Company has obtained a seven-year collateralized long-term loan, expiring in 2011, in the amount of 145 million New Taiwanese Dollars (US$4.5 million at January 31, 2006) bearing interest at an annual rate of 2.945%. The loan is collateralized by the Company’s recently completed manufacturing facility in Taiwan. In June 2004, the Company borrowed $4.1 million against this facility and repatriated $3.5 million to the U.S. to reduce amounts outstanding under the senior credit facility. The balance of $4.3 million at January 31, 2006 is included in Term Loans Payable.

The Company also has five unsecured credit facilities in Taiwan with a commitment totaling 228 million New Taiwanese Dollars (US$7.1 million at January 31, 2006), bearing interest at rates ranging from 1.9% to 2.945% per annum. The credit facilities generally have maturities of 12 months and can be extended for like periods, as needed, at the bank’s option. At January 31, 2006, the balance outstanding under these credit facilities amounts to US$2.3 million and is shown under Notes Payable.

12.

Warranty Obligations

The Company’s estimated obligations for warranty are accrued concurrently with the revenue recognized. The Company makes provisions for its warranty obligations based upon historical costs incurred for such obligations adjusted, as necessary, for current conditions and factors. Due to the significant uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating the Company’s warranty obligations, including changing product designs and specifications, the ultimate amount incurred for warranty costs could change in the near term from the current estimate.

The following table shows the fiscal 2006 year-to-date activity for the Company’s warranty obligations:

Fair Value Adjustment on Warrants Issued and Other Income (Expense), Net

On March 21, 2005, in a Private Investment in Public Equity Transaction (“PIPE Transaction”), the Company sold 17,473,116 equity units at $3.72 per unit for gross proceeds of $65 million, and net proceeds of more than $59 million. A unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant to buy 1/10^th of a share of common stock. Ten warrants give the holder the right to purchase one share of common stock for $4.07.

Under terms of the PIPE Transaction, the Company was subject to liquidated damages of $650,000 per month, if it failed to cause the S-1 to become effective before March 10, 2006.

Under EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), the fair value of the warrants issued under the PIPE Transaction have been reported initially as a liability due to the requirement to net-cash settle the transaction until the Company’s Form S-1 is declared effective. The reason for this treatment is that there are cash payment penalties of 1% of the gross proceeds per month ($650,000) had the Form S-1 not been declared effective prior to March 10, 2006. Upon effectiveness of the Form S-1, these amounts will be reclassified into Capital in Excess of Par in the Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The warrants are considered a derivative financial instrument and are being marked to fair value quarterly until the Form S-1 is declared effective. The changes in fair value of the warrants are recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as Other Income (Expense), net. The Company reported $2.1 million and $7.0 million of expense in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, respectively, associated with the change in the fair value of the warrants. There was no fair value adjustment in any other periods presented.

On February 22, 2006, the Company announced that its Form S-1 registration statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of 19,987,270 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants, had been declared effective. The registration statement covers the resale from time to time of shares issued to certain institutional investors under the terms of the PIPE Transaction that the Company completed on March 21, 2005, raising net proceeds of nearly $60 million. This includes 17,799,179 shares of common stock and 1,707,010 shares of stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in the PIPE transaction. The registration statement also covers the resale from time to time of 481,081 shares of stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to the Company’s lenders in connection with certain loan transactions.

The Company’s subsidiaries have adopted the local currency of the country in which they operate as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated at year-end rates. Income and expense accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. Assets and liabilities (including inter-company accounts that are transactional in nature) of the Company which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated based on current exchange rates and gains or losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

At any time, the Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings in addition to the Omax matter described below. As of January 31, 2006, the Company has accrued its estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. This estimate has been developed in consultation with legal counsel and is based upon an analysis of potential outcomes, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The Company does not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position. However, it is possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions, or the effectiveness of its strategies, related to these proceedings.

On November 18, 2004, Omax Corporation (“Omax”) filed suit against the Company alleging that the Company’s products infringe on Omax’s patents. The suit also seeks to have a specific patent held by the Company declared invalid. The Company asserts that it does not infringe Omax’s patents and Omax’s patents are invalid and unenforceable. In its counterclaim, the Company seeks damages from Omax for violation of antitrust laws and injunctive relief and damages for infringement of the Company’s patent. The trial date has been set for February 2007. Although the Omax suit seeks damages of over $100 million, the

Company believes Omax’s claims are without merit and intends not only to contest Omax’s allegations of infringement but also to vigorously pursue its claims with regard to its own patent. Accordingly, the Company has not provided any loss contingency accrual related to the Omax lawsuit as of January 31, 2006. The Company will incur legal expenses as part of this lawsuit and will expense them as incurred.

New Accounting Pronouncements

During October 2004, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF with respect to EITF Issue No. 04-10, Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds (EITF 04-10), which clarifies the guidance in paragraph 19 of FAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (FAS No. 131). According to EITF 04-10, operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated under paragraph 19 only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principle of FAS No. 131, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in items (a)-(e) in paragraph 17 of FAS No. 131. The FASB staff is currently working on a FASB Staff Position (FSP) to provide guidance in determining whether two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics. The effective date of EITF 04-10 has been delayed in order to coincide with the effective date of the anticipated FSP, with early application is permitted. The adoption of EITF 04-10 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Costs—an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage, requiring these items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and will become effective for the Company beginning in May 2006. The full impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004).” This statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for the company’s equity instruments or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity securities or may be settled by the issuance of these securities. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation using APB 25 and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value method. The provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued for the first interim period following the Company’s fiscal year that begins on or after June 15, 2005 and will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of the fiscal 2007 year. The Company has not yet determined which transition method it will use to adopt SFAS 123R. The full impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations will be determined by share-based payments granted in future periods.

In March 2005, the FASB also issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 47 to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have incurred losses in recent years and we may be unable to achieve profitability.

Our losses from continuing operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2006, and each of the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $0.7 million, $12.2 million, $10.7 million and $44.0 million, respectively. We believe our recently completed restructuring and related cost-cutting initiatives will reduce overall spending. However, if we are unable to contain expenses or if our restructuring efforts fail to adequately reduce costs, or if our sales are less than we project, we may incur losses in future periods. Economic weakness in our served markets may adversely affect our ability to meet our sales projections.

Economic weakness in our served markets may adversely affect our financial results.

The products we sell are capital goods with individual system prices ranging from $150,000 to several million dollars. Many of our customers depend on long term financing from a financial institution to purchase our equipment. Economic weakness in the capital goods market and or a credit tightening by the banking industry would reduce our sales and accordingly affect our financial results.

Our inability to protect our intellectual property rights, or our possible infringement on the proprietary rights of others, and related litigation could be time consuming and costly.

We defend our intellectual property rights because unauthorized copying and sale of our proprietary equipment and consumables represents a loss of revenue to us. From time to time we also receive notices from others claiming we infringe their intellectual property rights. The number of these claims may grow in the future, and responding to these claims may require us to stop selling or to redesign affected products, or to pay damages. On November 18, 2004, Omax Corporation (“Omax”) filed suit against us alleging that our products infringe on Omax’s patents. The suit also seeks to have a specific patent we hold declared invalid. Although the suit seeks damages of over $100 million, we believe Omax’s claims are without merit and we intend not only to contest Omax’s allegations of infringement but also to vigorously pursue our claims against Omax with regard to our own patent. See Note 14 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of contingencies.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline and limit our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in the public market.

In the past, our operating results have fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter and we expect them to continue to do so in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our operating results may in some future quarter fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. In addition to the risks disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, factors outside of our control that have caused our quarterly operating results to fluctuate in the past and that may affect us in the future include:

•

fluctuations in general economic conditions;

•

demand for UHP pumps and UHP water management systems generally;

•

fluctuations in the capital budgets of customers; and

•

development of superior products and services by our competitors.

In addition, factors within our control, such as our ability to deliver equipment in a timely fashion, have caused our operating results to fluctuate in the past and may affect us similarly in the future.

- 22 -

FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The factors listed above may affect both our quarter-to-quarter operating results as well as our long-term success. Given the fluctuations in our operating results, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance or to determine any trend in our performance. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could cause the market price of and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit your ability to sell our common stock on the public market.

We do business in industries that are cyclical, which may result in weakness in demand for our products.

Our products are sold in many industries, including machine tool, automotive and aerospace, that are highly cyclical. The machine tool industry, in particular from 1998 through 2003, experienced a significant decline in global demand. Cyclical weaknesses in the industries that we serve could lead to a reduced demand for our products.

We may be affected by rising costs or lack of availability of materials, which could negatively impact our operations.

We have experienced and may continue to experience significant increases in the costs of materials we use in the manufacture of our products, such as steel, and we may not be able to either achieve corresponding increases in the prices of our products or reduce manufacturing costs to offset these increases, or if we do increase prices, we may experience lower sales. We have experienced and may continue to experience longer lead times for certain materials we use in the manufacture of our product, such as steel, and we may not be able to deliver our products in a timely fashion which could lower our sales. Any of the foregoing may adversely affect our financial results.

If we cannot develop technological improvements to our products through continued research and engineering, our financial results may be adversely affected.

In order to maintain our position in the market, we need to continue to invest in research and engineering to improve our products and technologies and introduce new products and technologies. If we are unable to make such investment, if our research and development does not lead to new and/or improved products or technologies, or if we experience delays in the development or acceptance of new and/or improved products, our financial results will be adversely affected.

We have determined that we had material weaknesses in internal controls. Consequently, there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected in the current or any future period. Additionally we may conclude that our system of internal controls under Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley is not effective.

In December 2004, in connection with the restatement of our fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 financial statements, and in November 2005 and January 2006, in connection with the restatement of our fiscal 2005, and 2004 and 2003 financial statements, our former independent registered public accounting firm reported to management and to the Audit Committee material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management agrees with and has responded to the Audit Committee with our plans to remediate the material weaknesses communicated by our former independent registered public accounting firm. Remediation of these material weaknesses is ongoing.

- 23 -

FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are as follows:

•

The Company did not maintain effective controls over the financial reporting process due to an insufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with its financial reporting requirements and the complexity of the Company’s operations and transactions. Specifically, the Company incorrectly applied generally accepted accounting principles for (i) the impairment of goodwill, (ii) the classification of deferred tax balances, (iii) the valuation of anti-dilution warrants, (iv) the accrual of costs on contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, (v) leases with rent escalation clauses, (vi) the recording of minority interest, and (viii) the computation of the provision for income taxes, affecting receivables, deferred income taxes, prepaid expenses, goodwill, other accrued liabilities, other long-term liabilities and taxes payable, customer deposits, minority interest, capital in excess of par, accumulated deficit, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, impairment charge, interest expense and other income, net and the provision for income taxes. This material weakness contributed to the material weakness discussed below.

•

The Company did not maintain effective controls to ensure there is adequate (i) analysis, documentation, reconciliation and review of accounting records, and supporting data, and (ii) monitoring and oversight of the work performed by accounting and financial reporting personnel to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, the Company did not have effective controls designed and in place over the consolidation of the financial statements of subsidiaries and the computation of minority interest, the reconciliation of inter-company accounts, the valuation of anti-dilution warrants, the accrual of costs on contracts and balance sheet presentation of accounts receivable and cash receipts relating to contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, the classification of technical service expenses, the accounting for performance based equity awards and the computation of income tax provisions, affecting receivables, prepaid expenses, other accrued liabilities, taxes payable, customer deposits, capital in excess of par, minority interest, accumulated deficit, cost of sales, marketing expense, research and engineering, general and administrative expense, interest expense, other income, net, and the provision for income taxes.

An in-depth review of the remediation process to date, as well as the steps remaining, can be found in Item 4 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to assess the design and effectiveness of our internal control systems effective April 30, 2006. Our independent registered public accounting firm is required to render an attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting. We must complete the documentation, evaluation and remediation of our systems of internal control. The costs associated with such compliance are likely to be substantial and will negatively impact our financial results. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to conclude that our systems are appropriately designed or effective, which could result in a material misstatement going undetected in the financial statements and which may in turn lead to a decline in the stock price.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Market risk exists in our operations from potential adverse changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar in our foreign operations.

A significant portion of our sales take place outside of the United States, and we transact business in various foreign currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen, and the New Taiwan dollar. In addition, our foreign divisions may have customer receivables and vendor obligations in currencies other than their local currency which exposes us to near-term and longer term currency fluctuation risks. The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Based on our results for the quarter ended January 31, 2006 for our foreign subsidiaries, and based on the net position of foreign assets less liabilities, a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar in all currencies we operate could impact operating income on an annualized basis by $1.3 million and other income (expense) by $1.6 million. Our financial position and cash flows could be similarly impacted.

Current year foreign sales have benefited from a weak U.S. dollar. If the dollar were to strengthen against certain foreign currencies, such as the euro and yen, our margins may be negatively affected.

A significant portion of our products sold outside the United States are manufactured domestically. The weaker U.S. dollar, relative to the local currency of many of the countries we sell into, has made our products less expensive, on a relative basis, when compared to locally manufactured products and products manufactured in certain other countries. As the U.S. dollar gains in value relative to these foreign currencies, our products would increase in cost to the customer relative to locally produced product and products manufactured in certain other countries, which could negatively impact sales.

Sales of newly registered stock could exert downward pressure on the market price of our stock

To the extent that shareholders who acquired shares of our common stock (either directly or through the exercise of warrants, which are exercisable at $0.01 per share) in the PIPE Transaction or in connection with certain loans acquired their shares at prices less than the then current trading price of our common stock, they may have an incentive to resell material amounts of such shares in the market which may, in turn, cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Changes in Financial Condition

We generated $15.8 million of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2006 compared to $18.0 million of cash generated for the nine months ended January 31, 2005. Customer deposits increased $6.2 million further contributing to the cash flow from operations. These deposits provide the funding for the manufacturing of our systems and primarily relate to large aerospace contracts that we have been awarded. The revenue associated with these deposits is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The current period’s operating cash flow also includes $2.5 million of cash received from the transaction with Barton referred to in the financial statements. Offsetting these inflows are increases in inventory of $5.5 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2006 which were the result of additional inventory purchases in our core business to meet the demand in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net receivables are comprised of trade accounts and unbilled revenues. At January 31, 2006, the net receivables balance decreased $14.2 million or 37% from April 30, 2005. The decrease in net receivables stemmed from the reduction in trade receivables of $11.6 million or 31% from $37.2 million at April 30, 2005 to $25.6 million at

January 31, 2006 on sale of the Avure Business which reduced trade receivables by $7.5 million and on collection of standard waterjet system sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2006. Receivables days sales outstanding (including unbilled revenues and excluding the Avure business for the comparative periods) at January 31, 2006 remained flat at 49 consistent with April 30, 2005. This decrease in trade receivables was compounded by a reduction in unbilled revenues from $5.0 million at April 30, 2005 to $2.0 million at January 31, 2006, a $3.0 million or 61% decrease. The Avure Business accounted for $4.6 million of the decrease and was offset by an increase in the percentage complete on our aerospace contracts as well as a higher number of automation contracts being worked on. Our unbilled receivables relate to equipment and systems sales accounted for on a percentage of completion basis. Unbilled revenues fluctuate due to the scheduling of production and achievement of certain billing milestones. In general, receivables can be negatively affected by the traditionally longer payment cycle outside the United States and the timing of billings and payments on large special system orders. We do not believe these timing issues will present a material adverse impact on our short-term liquidity requirements. Because of the lead-time to build and deliver such equipment, ultimate collection of such accounts can be subject to changing customer business and economic conditions.

Inventories, net at January 31, 2006 decreased $4.0 million or 17% from April 30, 2005 driven by the sale of the Avure Business which accounted for $6.2 million. This was offset by an increase in Waterjet inventory of $2.1 million primarily related to some equipment for our aerospace contracts which we anticipate shipping in our fourth fiscal quarter of 2006.

Customer deposits were $9.1 million at January 31, 2006, versus the $10.6 million balance at April 30, 2005. The disposition of the Avure Business accounted for a decrease of $3.1 million which was offset by the receipt of milestone advances due under the significant aerospace contracts which we were awarded in fiscal 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Approximately $23.9 million of our cash is held by divisions outside the United States. The repatriation of offshore cash balances from certain divisions will trigger additional tax liabilities. In fiscal 2005, we repatriated $4.8 million from certain foreign subsidiaries. During the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we repatriated $1.4 million from a foreign subsidiary and we plan to continue repatriating additional funds in the future.

On March 21, 2005, in a Private Investment in Public Equity Transaction (“PIPE Transaction”), we sold 17,473,116 equity units at $3.72 per unit for gross proceeds of $65 million, and net proceeds of more than $59 million. A unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant to buy 1/10^th of a share of our common stock. Ten warrants give the holder the right to purchase one share of common stock for $4.07. If all the warrant holders opted to exercise their warrants, we would receive $7.1 million in cash proceeds.

Because the market price of the common stock was greater than $3.70, we issued approximately 304,000 anti-dilution warrants to current warrant holders prior to the PIPE Transaction which have a Black-Scholes value of approximately $1.7 million. Approximately $1.5 million of this amount relates to warrants issued under subordinated debt agreements and $0.2 million relates to warrants issued under senior debt agreements. Proceeds of the PIPE were used to pay down existing debt, including all of the subordinated debt.

Under terms of the PIPE Transaction, we were required to cause the Form S-1 to become effective on or before March 10, 2006. The Form S-1 was declared effective on February 22, 2006.

Our domestic senior credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) is our primary source of external funding. Effective July 8, 2005, we executed a new $30 million, three year senior credit agreement with Bank of America N.A. and

- 26 -

FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

U.S. Bank N.A. This credit agreement expires July 8, 2008 and bears interest at the bank’s prime rate (7.5% at January 31, 2006) or is linked to LIBOR plus a percentage depending on our leverage ratios, at our option. The agreement sets forth specific financial covenants to be attained on a quarterly basis, which we believe, based on our financial forecasts, are achievable. At January 31, 2006, the balance outstanding on the Credit Agreement was $18.3 million against a maximum borrowing of $30 million. Our available credit at January 31, 2006, net of $2.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, was $18.3 million.

We believe that our existing cash, cash from operations, and credit facilities at January 31, 2006 are adequate to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

On August 26, 2005, we received $2.5 million for selling Barton Mines Company the Company’s customer list. Under a Purchase Agreement, we also give them the right to sell abrasive to our customers for future annual payments of up to $250,000 for the next three years based on achievement of system sales targets and royalty payments for systems sold over the next 10 years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

During the quarter ended January 31, 2006, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations and minimum commercial commitments as reported in Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments and New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no material changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2005. New accounting pronouncements are disclosed in Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

and cleaning systems throughout the world, as well as sales of our custom designed systems into the aerospace industry. The ‘Other’ segment represents sales of our automation and robotic waterjet cutting cells which are sold primarily into the North American automotive industry.

For the three months ended January 31, 2006, total Waterjet sales of $47.5 million increased $5.8 million or 14% as compared to the prior year same period. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, total Waterjet sales of $140.2 million increased $16.1 million or 13% as compared to the prior year same period of which $18.9 million was recognized in our North America Waterjet segment. We continue to increase the market awareness of waterjet technology through investments in marketing and tradeshow activity. We also continue to invest in direct sales and technical services staff adding new personnel to service potential and existing customers. The growth in revenue in North America is a result of an increase in unit sales stemming from our increased sales and marketing activity as well as increased revenue recognition on large percentage-of-completion aerospace contracts. There were no significant price increases year over year, other than a price increase of 4% on selected systems which was instituted on February 1, 2005. Aerospace sales, which are also included in the North America segment, were $4.9 million and $14.6 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, respectively, up $3.8 million and $12.1 million from the prior year same respective periods from work completed on aerospace contracts awarded in fiscal 2005.

For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, Asia Waterjet segment revenue increased $1.3 million and $1.7 million, or 22% and 9%, over the prior year same respective periods. This increase was fueled by expansion of waterjet systems into the electronics industry in Taiwan. Growth in the Other International Waterjet segment represents primarily sales into Europe and South America. Revenues from our European operations have increased $1.4 million to $8.6 million during the three months ended January 31, 2006 on improved system deliveries while improving by $2.2 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2006 to $23.6 million. Sales into South America of $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 improved $249,000 and $1.2 million over the respective prior year same periods on higher standard shapecutting system sales as we focused our efforts in this area. We typically sell our products at higher prices outside the U.S. due to the costs of servicing these markets.

The growth in our North America, Asia Waterjet, and Other International Waterjet segments was offset by declines in the ‘Other’ segments. The ‘Other’ segment recorded a $1.1 million and a $7.9 million decline for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 to $5.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively, from the prior year same periods due to a softness in the domestic automotive industry as well as from the closing and relocation of our Wixom, Michigan facility to our Burlington, Ontario facility. This shutdown was completed to combine like businesses and reduce operating costs. In addition, we recently established more selective bidding rules which have reduced our revenue.

We also analyze our Waterjet revenues by looking at system sales and consumable sales. Systems sales were $34.8 million, up $5.5 million or 19%, for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and up $14.0 million or 16%, for the nine months ended January 31, 2006 due to strong domestic shapecutting sales as well as increased aerospace revenue. Consumables revenues recorded an increase of $300,000 or 2% to $12.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and $2.1 million or 6% to $39.7 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2006, respectively. North America, South America, Asia and Europe all reported increase in spares sales for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 due to the increasing number of systems in service, our proprietary productivity enhancing kits and improved parts availability as well as the use of Flowparts.com, and our easy-to-use internet order entry system. We believe that spare parts sales should continue to increase as more systems are put into service as customers make greater use of their systems.

Our gross margin as a percent of sales by segment for the periods noted below is summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended January 31,				Nine Months Ended January 31,
	2006		2005		2006		2005
Gross Margin Percentage

Other	17	%	17	%	21	%	9	%
Waterjet Total	42	%	38	%	43	%	37	%

Gross margin for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 amounted to $20.2 million or 42% of sales and $60.5 million or 43%, respectively, as compared to gross margin of $15.9 million or 38% of sales and $45.4 million or 37% in the prior year same periods. Domestically, the gross margin improvements are attributable to cost reductions from our global supply chain initiatives as well as improved cost absorption from higher sales volumes in standard shapecutting as well as aerospace system sales. Asia Waterjet margins rose for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 on strong product pricing and improved product mix. The Other International segment and Other segment margins remained flat for the three months ended January 31, 2006 as compared to the January 31, 2005 period while improving significantly over the prior nine month results due to better cost control and lower risk projects at our Other segment, which included significant costs accrued on loss contracts in the prior year period, and from strong product pricing for our Other International segment. Generally, comparison of gross margin rates will vary period over period depending on the mix of sales, which includes special system, standard system and consumables sales. Gross margin rates on our systems sales are typically less than 45% as compared to consumables sales which are generally in excess of 50%. In addition, gross margin as a percent of sales will vary amongst segments due to inter-company sales and the related inter-company transfer pricing.

Waterjet Total	8,359	7,372	987		13	%	23,808	20,664	3,144		15	%

Sales and marketing expenses increased $987,000 or 13% and $3.1 million or 15% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, respectively, as compared to the prior year same periods. Most of the segments experienced increases due to higher expense levels on items such as commissions driven by increased sales, additional headcount, as well as increased marketing and advertising costs directed at building waterjet technology awareness. The Other segment decreased its expenses as the Wixom division was closed in Q2 and all marketing activity was handled through our Burlington facility. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, consolidated sales and marketing expenses were 18% and 17% for the three and nine months period for both fiscal years.

Research and Engineering Expenses. Our research and engineering expenses by segment for the periods noted below are summarized as follows:

Research and engineering expenses increased $674,000 or 48% and $1.4 million or 32% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior year same periods. Increases of $643,000 and $1.4 million were recorded in the North America Waterjet segment for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006. This is attributable to the addition of key engineering personnel related to our core UHP technology as well as additional engineering resources to support new core product development, such as Stonecrafter, the 87,000 psi pump and the 55,000 psi Husky as well as continued core product enhancements such as FlowMaster. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, research and engineering expenses were 4% and 3% for the three and nine months period for both fiscal years.

Waterjet Total	8,306	5,377	2,929		54	%	21,656	14,873	6,783		46	%

General and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million or 54% and $6.8 million or 46% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, as compared to the prior year same periods. The increase was experienced primarily in the North America Waterjet segment which includes all of our corporate overhead costs. These costs were driven higher by incremental legal costs of $559,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 and incremental public company-related costs including Sarbanes-Oxley consulting fees of $885,000 and $2.3 million for the same respective periods. In addition, we accrued a total of $1.5 million during the three months ended January 31, 2006 related to key executive retention programs. This included $899,000 from the acceleration of awards under these plans and their termination. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, consolidated general and administrative expenses were 17% and 13% for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006, as compared to 15% and 12% for the prior year same periods.

Restructuring Expenses. We incurred $76,000 and $661,000 of severance benefits and lease restructuring costs in the Other segment related to the closing and relocation of our Wixom, Michigan facility during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006.

Financial Consulting Expenses. No financial consulting costs were incurred in the nine months ended January 31, 2006 compared with $623,000 in the prior year period associated with our efforts to refinance our subordinated debt. Because no new financing was obtained, these costs were charged to expense.

Gain on Barton Sale. We entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Barton Mines Company (“Barton”) on August 26, 2005 to sell Barton the Company’s customer list for $2.5 million which was recorded in Operating Expenses in the nine months ended January 31, 2006.

Our operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2006 was $1.4 million versus a $1.7 million in the prior year period. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, the operating income was $11.2 million versus $5.0 million in the prior year period. The reasons for the changes in operating income or loss by segment have been described in the paragraphs above addressing changes in sales, gross margin and operating expenses.

Fair Value Adjustment on Warrants Issued. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, the Company incurred $2.1 million and $7.0 million expense associated with the warrants issued in our PIPE transaction, described in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The terms of these warrants require them to be marked-to-market at each reporting period with corresponding gains and losses reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There was no such expense during the same periods in the prior fiscal year as the warrants had not yet been issued.

Interest and Other (Expense) Income, net. Interest Income (Expense), net amounted to $22,000 and $(1.3) million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 compared to $(3.7) million and $(10.4) million for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This net amount includes $303,000 and $358,000 of interest income for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006. This change from expense to income results from lower interest rates charged coupled with lower average debt on our balance owing with the paydown of the subordinated debt in April 2005 as well as lower amortization of debt issue costs. The Company also recorded $202,000 interest income related to the $8 million promissory note received by the Company for the sale of the discontinued operations, as disclosed in footnote 5. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006, we recorded Other (Expense) Income, net of $(789,000) and $(1.4) million compared to Other Income, net of $129,000 and $2.7 million in the respective prior year three and nine month periods. These changes are the result of realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses detailed in the table below.

Income Taxes. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, the tax provision consists of current expense related to operations in foreign jurisdictions which are profitable primarily in Taiwan and Japan. In addition, operations in certain jurisdictions (principally Germany and US) reported net operating losses for which no tax benefit was recognized as it is more likely than not that such benefit will not be realized. In fiscal 2004, the Company has determined it is no longer able to permanently defer undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and has recorded a $1.7 million liability for withholding taxes payable on future repatriation of foreign earnings. We also recorded a U.S. tax liability of $6.7 million on foreign earnings which we have decided to no longer permanently defer. The total $6.7 million tax liability was offset by a reduction of the valuation allowance. In addition, we continue to assess our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets. Recognizing the cumulative losses generated during the quarter ended January 31, 2006 and in prior periods, we have determined it appropriate to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on our domestic net operating losses, certain foreign net operating losses and certain other deferred tax assets based on the expected reversal of both deferred tax assets and liabilities. The domestic net operating losses can be carried forward 20 years to offset domestic profits in future periods and expire from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2024 if not used. Our foreign net operating losses currently do not have an expiration date. We provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets associated with the losses recorded during the quarter ended January 31, 2006.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. In October 2005, we sold our Avure Business and have recast our financial statements to reflect the Avure Business as discontinued operations for all historical periods presented. There was no income from operations of discontinued operations for the current quarter, versus a loss of $$1,293,000 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, income from operations of discontinued operations was $966,000 compared to a loss of $1,966,000 in the same period in the prior year primarily due to a higher foreign exchange gain in its first quarter and a lower foreign exchange loss in its second quarter. The Company initially recorded a loss of $1.1 million, net of income tax of $334,000, on the sale which was consummated on October 31, 2005. As discussed in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for the three month period ended January 31, 2006, we have increased our Loss on Sale of Discontinued Operations, by $300,000 based on our best estimate of the amount to settle the working capital dispute raised by the purchaser of the Avure Business, and by $107,000 which is the discount we have offered to the purchaser on the 3 year note, for a total of $407,000.

Net Loss. Our consolidated net loss in the three months ended January 31, 2006 amounted to $2.3 million, or $0.07 basic and diluted income per share as compared to a net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.22 basic and diluted loss per share in the prior year same periods. For the year-to-date period, our consolidated net loss was $1.3 million or $0.04 basic and diluted per share as compared to $6.2 million, or $0.39 basic and diluted loss per share in the prior year same period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the nine months ended January 31, 2006. For additional information, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as presented in the Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2005, as filed with the SEC.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referenced herein as the Exchange Act. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures performed pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 31, 2006, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses discussed below. As the result of the material weaknesses described below we performed additional analysis, reviews and other post closing procedures, therefore, notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described below, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In December 2004, in connection with the restatement of our fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 financial statements, and in November 2005 and January 2006, in connection with our restatement of our fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 financial statements, our former independent registered public accounting firm reported to management and to the Audit Committee material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management agrees with and has responded to the Audit Committee with our plans to remediate the material weaknesses communicated by our former independent registered public accounting firm. Remediation of these material weaknesses is ongoing.

The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are as follows:

•

- 35 -

FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

with rent escalation clauses, (vi) the recording of minority interest, and (viii) the computation of the provision for income taxes, affecting receivables, deferred income taxes, prepaid expenses, goodwill, other accrued liabilities, other long-term liabilities and taxes payable, customer deposits, minority interest, capital in excess of par, accumulated deficit, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, impairment charge, interest expense and other income, net and the provision for income taxes. This material weakness contributed to the material weakness discussed below.

•

These control deficiencies resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 as well as certain quarters in those years and in the restatement of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006. Additionally, each of these control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that each of the above control deficiencies represents a material weakness.

Remediation of Material Weakness

Our management and Audit Committee have dedicated significant resources to assessing the underlying internal control deficiencies giving rise to the restatements and to ensure that proper steps have been and are being taken to improve our internal control over financial reporting. We have assigned the highest priority to the correction of these deficiencies and have taken and will continue to take action to fully correct them. Management is committed to instilling strong control policies and procedures and ensuring that the ‘tone at the top’ is committed to accuracy and completeness in all financial reporting. The remedial measures include the following:

•

Insufficient compliment of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles.

We have identified several key positions in our corporate accounting and finance department which are critical to the remediation of this weakness. These positions range from accountants and financial analysts to accounting managers. We are presently engaged in filling these positions, and have already retained one accountant, two financial analysts, a technical accounting manager and an accounting manager. We have retained search firms to expedite the hiring process for the remaining open positions and expect to complete our recruiting in the next 120 days. In the interim, we are utilizing contractor employees to assist us in overseeing critical areas.

•

Lack of effective controls to ensure adequate analysis, documentation, reconciliation and review of accounting records. Lack of effective controls to ensure adequate monitoring and oversight of work performed by accounting and financial reporting personnel.

We have instituted standardized reconciliation processes across our divisions monitored by checklists and sign-offs, to ensure completeness and correctness of results. We have begun improving the documentation and standardization of our accounting policies and procedures to ensure that all transactions are recoded consistently and with the appropriate level of documentation. We have implemented new controls around our consolidation, intercompany and foreign currency translation processes to ensure accuracy. As is described in the above paragraph, we are hiring additional experienced staff to provide appropriate levels of review, analysis and documentation of accounting transactions and of the consolidated financial statements.

The implementation of the initiatives described above, are among our highest priorities. Our Audit Committee will continually assess the progress and sufficiency of these initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary. As of the date of this report, management believes that the plan outlined above, when completed, will eliminate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described above.

Subsequent to the quarter ended January 31, 2006, we determined that the gain on sale of a customer list to Barton Mines Company (“Barton”) was incorrectly recorded in Other (Expense) Income, net for the quarter ended October 31, 2005 and was recorded within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine month period ended January 31, 2006. We will properly classify the gain in future quarterly filings as follows (in thousands):

We also determined that pro forma net income (loss) related to stock compensation determined under the fair value based method of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“FAS 123”) was calculated incorrectly for the three month period ended July 31, 2005 and the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2005. We will correct the pro forma FAS 123 disclosure in future quarterly filings as follows:
