Flow International Corporation (the “Company” or “Flow”) announced in September 2006 that it would be delaying filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 pending the completion of an investigation of allegations that revenue at its Flow Asia subsidiary had been recorded in the incorrect accounting period. While the Company has made good progress, the investigation is not yet completed, and the Form 10-Q for the July, 2006 quarter has not been filed. The Company will not be able to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2006 until the investigation has been completed and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 is filed. All required documents are expected to be filed with the SEC by January 31, 2007 when the Company expects to return to a current filer status.
