Flow International Announces Final Fiscal 2006 First Quarter Results

    KENT, Wash., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Flow International
Corporation (Nasdaq: FLOWE), the world's leading supplier of
ultrahigh-pressure waterjet products,  yesterday reported results and filed
the Form 10-Q for its fiscal 2006 first quarter ended July 31, 2005.
    FLOW had previously announced preliminary first quarter financial results
on September 15, 2005.  Compared to the previously announced results, the
Company has made adjustments to cost of sales, operating expenses and to items
below the operating income line.  The effect of these adjustments, compared to
the previously announced preliminary results, is shown below. The adjustments
did not impact previously announced sales or cash flows for the quarter.

    -- Operating income decreased by $508,000 to $1.9 million.

    Net income decreased by  $686,000 to $22,000 and earnings per basic and
diluted earnings per share decreased from $0.02 to $0.00.  This decrease was
primarily the result of the recording of additional costs related to the
disposition of Avure, contracts in progress, and compensation expense
    Final results for the fiscal 2006 first quarter ended July 31, 2005 are
reported in the financial tables that follow.
    With the filing of its Form 10-Q, the Company will again be in compliance
with NASDAQ listing requirements.
