State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

On October 26, 2004, Flowserve Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing (i) certain SEC filing delays; (ii) anticipated amendment of previously announced second quarter 2004 financial results; (iii) the existence of certain material weaknesses in its internal controls and (iv) certain information about performing Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 work. The Company is working diligently to address and resolve these matters, as well as complete and file its amended second quarter report on Form 10-Q/A for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 (“2003 2Q Form 10-Q/A”); its second quarter report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 (“2004 2Q Form 10-Q”) and its third quarter report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 (“2004 3Q Form 10-Q”). Due to the Company’s efforts in resolving the aforementioned matters and the completion of the 2003 2Q Form 10-Q/A, 2004 2Q Form 10-Q, and the 2004 3Q Form 10-Q, the Company is not able to finalize the financial statements and related information for inclusion in its 2004 3Q Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the Company is unable to file its 2004 3Q Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period.
