ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 31, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), PerkinElmer, Inc. (the "Company")
completed its acquisition of NEN Life Sciences, Inc. ("NEN"), a provider of
state-of-the-art drug discovery products, services, reagents and technologies to
the life science industry. The Company purchased NEN, a Delaware corporation,
from an investor group led by Genstar Capital LLC for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $400 million, including the assumption of approximately
$50 million of indebtedness, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
June 12, 2000, as amended (as so amended, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among
the Company, Nancy Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company ("Sub"), and NEN.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sub merged with and into NEN on the Effective
Date, whereupon NEN became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
"Merger"). In connection with the Merger, the Company paid approximately $350
million in cash and issued warrants to purchase approximately 300,000 shares of
the Company's common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of NEN
capital stock and all outstanding options and warrants to purchase NEN capital
stock. In addition, the Company repaid approximately $50 million of outstanding
indebtedness of NEN at the Effective Date. The Company financed the acquisition
and repayment of the outstanding indebtedness with $400 million of commercial
paper borrowings with a weighted-average interest rate of 7.1%. The Company
intends to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis in the near future.

A total of $22.5 million of the cash consideration has been placed in escrow in
accordance with the terms of two escrow agreements for the purpose of satisfying
certain indemnification obligations of the NEN stockholders, option holders and
warrant holders.

The purchase price was based upon the Company's determination of the fair value
of NEN, and the Company intends to treat the Merger as a purchase for accounting
purposes. The terms of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, including the
acquisition consideration, were determined on the basis of arm's-length
negotiations between the Company and NEN. The board of directors of the Company
and the board of directors and the stockholders of NEN approved the Merger
Agreement and the Merger. Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, none
of the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors or any associate of any
such officer or director, had any material relationship with NEN or any of the
stockholders of NEN.

The Company currently intends to continue NEN's business substantially in the
manner conducted by NEN immediately prior to the Merger. However, the Company
will review NEN's assets, corporate structure, capitalization, operations,
properties, policies, management and personnel. After completion of this review,
the Company may develop alternative plans or proposals, including mergers,
transfers of a material amount of assets or other transactions or changes
relating to NEN.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement,
which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference, and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement,
which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

On July 20, 2000, the Company issued a press release reporting on its financial
results for the second quarter of 2000. The Company's press release dated July
20, 2000, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is
also incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

(a)  Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired

     The financial statements required to be filed for NEN Life Sciences, Inc.
     are filed as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b)  Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

     On July 31, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of NEN, a provider
     of state-of-the-art drug discovery products, services, reagents and
     technologies to the life science industry.

     On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired the Analytical Instruments Division
     ("AI") of PE Corp., a leading producer of high quality analytical testing
     instruments.

     The Company accounted for the AI acquisition as a purchase. The unaudited
     pro forma consolidated financial information gives effect to the
     acquisition of NEN as a purchase.

     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements give
     effect to the acquisitions of NEN and AI and should be read in conjunction
     with the historical financial statements and related notes thereto for the
     Company, NEN and AI. The financial statements required to be filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission for the AI acquisition were included as
     exhibits in a separate Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed by the Company
     on August 11, 1999. The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements
     for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 and the three-month period ended
     April 2, 2000 give effect to the acquisitions as if they were completed as
     of January 4, 1999, and combine the Company, NEN and AI's historical income
     statements for each respective period as necessary. The unaudited pro forma
     consolidated results for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 and the
     three-month period ended April 2, 2000 exclude acquisition-related charges
     of $19 million and $23 million for purchased in-process research and
     development related to NEN and AI, respectively.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement for the fiscal year
     ended January 2, 2000 includes columns representing the Company's
     historical results for the fiscal twelve months then ended, NEN's
     historical results for the fiscal twelve months ended December 31, 1999 and
     AI's historical results for the five-month period ended May 28, 1999 (the
     date of acquisition). The Company's historical financial statements include
     the results of AI subsequent to May 28, 1999.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement for the three months
     ended April 2, 2000 includes columns representing the Company's historical
     results for the three months then ended and NEN's historical results for
     the period from January 1, 2000 through March 31, 2000.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of April 2, 2000
     includes the historical balance sheet of the Company as of April 2, 2000
     and NEN as of March 31, 2000 and gives effect to the acquisition of NEN as
     if it occurred on April 2, 2000.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for
     informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
     Company's operating results that would have occurred had the acquisitions
     been consummated on the dates, or at the beginning of the periods, for
     which the consummation of the acquisitions is being given effect, nor is it
     necessarily indicative of the Company's future operating results. The
     unaudited pro forma adjustments do not


<PAGE>   4

     reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that the Company
     believes are achievable.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been
     prepared using the purchase method of accounting, whereby the total cost of
     the acquisitions has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets
     acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at
     the effective dates of the acquisitions. For the NEN acquisition, such
     allocations will be based on studies and independent valuations, which are
     currently being conducted. Accordingly, the allocations reflected in the
     unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information are preliminary and
     subject to revision.

Note 1  Purchase Price Allocation -- The purchase price allocation related to
the AI acquisition is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended January 2, 2000 and its separate report filed on Form 8-K/A,
filed August 11, 1999, related to the AI acquisition. The purchase price for NEN
has been allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on the
Company's current estimates of respective fair values. Some allocations will be
based on studies and independent valuations that are currently being conducted.
Accordingly, the allocations reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial information are preliminary and subject to revision. The components of
the purchase price and preliminary allocation are as follows:

Cash paid to NEN                                  $349,059

Current liabilities include approximately $10,000 of accrued restructuring
charges related to NEN expected to be incurred in connection with the
acquisition. The restructuring plans include initiatives to integrate the
operations of the Company and NEN, and reduce overhead. The primary components
of these plans relate to employment costs, consolidation of certain facilities,
and the termination of certain leases and other contractual obligations.
Management is in the process of developing its restructuring plans related to
NEN, and accordingly, the amounts recorded are based on management's current
estimate of those costs. The Company will finalize these plans during 2000, and
the majority of the restructuring actions are expected to occur by mid-2001.

Approximately $19,000 was allocated to in-process research and development
for projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the
acquisition date and for which no alternative use existed. The estimated fair
value will be based on a risk-adjusted cash flow and determined by an
independent third party appraiser. The in-process research and development has
not been included in the pro forma combined income statements due to its
nonrecurring nature.

(A) Adjustment includes the amortization of the write-up to fair value of NEN's
work-in-process and finished goods inventory as of its acquisition date. This
amount will be charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is sold.
Approximately $2,500 related to NEN has been included in cost of sales in the
pro forma consolidated income statement for the fiscal year ended January 2,
2000. The Company's historical consolidated income statement for the fiscal year
ended January 2, 2000 includes $9,897 of inventory write-up amortization related
to AI.

(B)  Includes additional amortization related to goodwill and acquired
intangible assets amortization as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of net
assets acquired and totaled approximately $348,000 and $205,000 for NEN and AI,
respectively. The NEN and AI goodwill amounts are being amortized over 15 years
and 40 years, respectively. The $342,884 pro forma adjustment reflects the
incremental goodwill and acquired intangibles from the NEN acquisition over the
historical amounts included in NEN's balance sheet at March 31, 2000.

Acquired intangibles include the fair value assigned or to be assigned to
trademarks, trade names, patents and developed technology by an independent
third party appraiser. These intangible assets are being amortized over periods
of 10-40 years.

(C) Includes the write-up to fair value of NEN and AI's property, plant &
equipment as of the acquisition dates and the resulting additional depreciation
expense. The pro forma consolidated income statements include additional
depreciation expense related to these write-ups of $473 and $59 for cost of
sales and $203 and $25 for selling, general and administrative expenses for the
fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 and three months ended April 2, 2000,
respectively.

(D) Reflects incremental interest expense related to financing the acquisitions.
The Company financed the NEN acquisition and repayment of the outstanding
indebtedness with $400,000 of commercial paper borrowings with a weighted-
average interest rate of 7.1%. The Company intends to refinance these
borrowings on a long-term basis in the near future.

The AI acquisition was financed through a combination of $75,000 of available
cash, $100,000 of commercial paper borrowings with a weighted-average interest
rate of 5.2%, $100,000 of money market loans with a weighted-average interest of
5.2% and one-year secured promissory notes of $150,000 issued by the Company to
PE Corp (the seller) that bear interest at 5.0%.

A 1/8 of one percent change in the base rate would change incremental annual
interest expense by approximately $750.

(E) Reflects adjustments to eliminate an unrealized gain (loss) related to a
warrant of $10,079 and ($9,762) from NEN's historical statements of operations
for fiscal 1999 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, respectively.
The unrealized gain/loss is a result of NEN's early adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company has not yet adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 133 and therefore, these amounts have been eliminated
through pro forma adjustments. The Company has not yet determined the effect
that adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have but believes that it will not have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial position due to its
relatively limited use of derivatives.

(F) Reflects adjustments to eliminate the historical equity accounts of NEN and
record as additional paid-in capital the fair value of the warrants issued in
connection with the acquisition. Additionally, the in-process research and
development charge of $19,000 is reflected as a reduction of retained earnings.

(G) Reflects adjustments to eliminate in-process research and development
charges related to the Company's acquisition of AI ($23,000) and NEN's
acquisition of Receptor Biology ($1,000) from the historical financial
statements of the Company and NEN.

(H) Includes adjustments to accrue transaction costs and restructuring charges
and to record deferred taxes resulting from purchase accounting.

(I) Income tax adjustments have been calculated using estimated statutory income
tax rates for the jurisdictions in which the Companies operate. The primary
difference between the provision calculated at statutory rates and the amount
reflected in the pro forma adjustments column for the periods presented is
attributable to nondeductible goodwill resulting from the NEN acquisition. The
pro forma consolidated provision for income taxes may not represent amounts that
would have resulted had the Company, NEN and AI filed consolidated income tax
returns during the periods presented.
