              For the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 1995
              (All tabular dollar amounts in thousands; unaudited)


1.   In the opinion of the management of Flow International Corporation (the 
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial 
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, statements of 
operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  These interim 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the April 30, 1994 
consolidated financial statements.

2.   On December 15, 1994, the Company purchased certain net assets of 
Dynovation Machine Systems, Inc. ("Dynovation"), and on January 3, 1995, the 
Company purchased certain net assets of ASI Robotic Systems ("ASI"). The 
Company paid total cash of $11.5 million and issued 445,000 shares of its 
common stock to acquire the assets of Dynovation and ASI. Dynovation and ASI's 
operating results have been included from the date of acquisition based upon 
the purchase method of accounting.

     On November 4, 1994, Spider Staging Corporation, a wholly owned 
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a licensing agreement with Ark 
Systems, Inc. ("Ark") at a cost of $400,000, for the exclusive worldwide 
marketing and manufacturing rights for the Ark product line.

     The Company funded these transactions through a short-term bridge loan 
facility from the Company's principal bank.


3.   The Company filed a Form 8-K on December 23, 1994 in respect of the 
purchase of the Dynovation net assets. If that transaction had occurred at the 
beginning of each of the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 1995 
and 1994, the results of operations of Flow would be adjusted as follows on a 
pro forma basis:

a) for the three months ended January 31, 1995, total revenues would have been 
$28,131,000, and net income would have been $1,325,000, or 9 cents per share. 
The adjustments to net income include additional interest expense of $71,000, 
and additional goodwill amortization of $81,000. For the comparative period in 
1994, total revenues would have been $22,338,000, and the net loss would have 
been $2,032,000, or 15 cents per share. The 1994 adjustments include 
additional interest expense of $120,000, and additional goodwill amortization 
of $121,000.

b) for the nine months ended January 31, 1995, total revenues would have been 
$85,634,000, and net income would have been $4,877,000, or 34 cents per share. 
The adjustments to net income include additional interest expense of $369,000, 
and additional goodwill amortization of $317,000. For the comparative period 
in 1994, total revenues would have been $69,635,000, and net income would have 
been $788,000, or 6 cents per share. The 1994 adjustments include additional 
interest expense of $359,000, and additional goodwill amortization of 
$362,000.

     The pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for 
information purposes only, does not take into account savings which would have 
been realized from the combination of the Company and Dynovation, and is not 
indicative of the actual consolidated financial position or results of 
operations in the future. 

4.   Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income 
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding 
shares plus the equivalent shares attributable to dilutive stock options 
during each period.

     The weighted average number of outstanding shares for the three months 
ended January 31, 1995 and 1994 were 14,474,000 and 13,661,000, and for the 
nine months ended January 31, 1995 and 1994 were 14,327,000 and 14,100,000, 
respectively.  Fully diluted earnings per share do not differ materially from 
primary earnings per share.  Common share equivalents are not included in 
total shares outstanding for loss per share calculations, as they are 
antidilutive.

5.   Inventories consist of the following:

                         FLOW INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 1995 and 
1994

   During the quarter ended January 31, 1995, the Company purchased certain 
net assets of two robotics systems manufacturers, Dynovation Machine Systems, 
Inc. ("Dynovation") and ASI Robotics, Inc. ("ASI"). These acquisitions are 
part of the Company's long-term strategic plan. Both companies are, and had 
previously been, integrators of the Company's products.  Consolidation of the 
sales and marketing force began during the quarter, and integration of other 
functions will continue into fiscal 1996.  During the quarter the Company also 
entered into a licensing agreement with Ark Systems, Inc. ("Ark"), for the 
exclusive worldwide marketing and manufacturing rights for the Ark product 
line.  Ark produces access system equipment used in the cleaning and 
maintenance of the under structure of bridges.  The Company's consolidated 
statements of operations include the results of Dynovation, ASI and Ark from 
the dates of acquisition.  The Company paid total cash of $11.5 million and 
issued 445,000 shares of common stock to acquire the assets of Dynovation and 
ASI, and paid $400,000 for the licensing agreement from Ark.  The Company 
funded these transactions through a short-term bridge loan facility from the 
Company's principal bank.

   Total revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1995 were 
$27,187,000 and $78,454,000, respectively, representing increases of 
$6,632,000 (32%) and $13,953,000 (22%) over the corresponding prior year 
periods.  The increase in sales revenues of $6,316,000 (40%) for the three 
months ended January 31, 1995 compared to the corresponding period in 1994, 
came primarily from improved ultra high-pressure ("UHP") cutting and cleaning 
product sales, and the effect of the third quarter acquisitions. The  
$13,606,000 (30%) increase in sales revenues for the nine months ended January 
31, 1995 compared to the corresponding period in 1994, arose for the same 
reasons as for the three month period, and also from improved access system 
sales. The Company's European operations contributed to these overall revenue 
increases with gains of 63% and 53% for the three and nine month periods ended 
January 31, 1995 over the prior year, respectively. This reflects a continued 
improvement in that region's economy.  Domestic revenues increased by 26% and 
17% for the same periods, respectively.  Rental revenues increased by $240,000 
(12%) and $1,102,000 (16%) for the three and nine month periods ended January 
31, 1995 over the prior year, respectively, as a result of expanding the 
available rental fleet.  Service revenues were flat for the three month period 
ended January 31, 1995 compared to the prior year, and down slightly for the 
nine month comparison. 

   As a percent of revenue, gross profit for the three and nine months ended 
January 31, 1995 was 40% and 42%, respectively.  This compares to 29% and 39% 
for the same periods in 1994. Due to the historical impact of the winter 
weather on construction services, along with a higher percentage of turnkey 
systems business sold during the third quarter, the gross profit percentage 
decreased to 40% from 43% for the first two quarters of fiscal 1995.  
Comparison of gross profit margins between periods is dependent on the 
differing sales mixes. Sales of UHP material separation spare parts and 
services typically carry higher margins than UHP systems sales.  The prior 
year third quarter results include a charge of $2,300,000 related to a

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (Continued)

have been 40% and 42% for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 
1994, respectively. 

Operating results also improved due to a reduction in operating expenses to 
31% of revenues for both the three and nine months ended January 31, 1995, 
compared to 38% and 36% for the corresponding prior year periods. As a 
percentage of revenues, improvements were achieved in marketing and general 
and administrative expense over the prior year quarter. These improvements 
were primarily a result of ongoing cost containment programs and from 
integrating certain functions since fiscal 1994.  Research and engineering 
expense as a percent of revenues rose to 7% from 6% in the prior year quarter 
primarily as a result of the acquisitions which require a high investment in 
ongoing engineering applications.

Interest and other expense, net, of $860,000 and $1,756,000 for the three and 
nine months ended January 31, 1995, respectively, represent an increase of 
$375,000 and $1,064,000, respectively, from the corresponding prior year 
periods.  The increase in net interest expense includes approximately $120,000 
related to increased borrowings to finance the acquisitions.  The prior year 
also includes interest income on certain notes receivable which were settled 
in the second half of fiscal 1994.  The nine months ended January 31, 1994, 
also includes recognized income of $445,000 related to the sale of a building 
previously used by a subsidiary company.

Income tax expense was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to lower 
foreign tax rates, benefits from the foreign sales corporation, and a 
reassessment of the Company's FAS 109 valuation allowance in light of the 
recent acquisitions.

As a result of the above, the Company recorded net income of $1,616,000, or 11 
cents per share, and $5,427,000, or 38 cents per share, for the three and nine 
months ended January 31, 1995, respectively, compared to a loss of $1,794,000, 
or 13 cents per share, and net income of $1,518,000, or 10 cents per share, 
for the same periods in 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 1995, the Company had cash of $627,000 and available credit 
facilities of approximately $15,400,000 (exclusive of the bridge facility), of 
which $9,700,000 was available to use domestically.

The Company's Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement requires the Company to 
comply with certain financial covenants.  As of January 31, 1995, the Company 
was in compliance with all such covenants.  During the quarter, the Company 
obtained a short-term bridge loan facility of $14,000,000 from its principal 
bank, specifically for acquisition purposes, including those of Dynovation, 
ASI and the Ark licensing agreement.  The Company is in the process of 
evaluating various options to replace the bridge loan facility with permanent 
or long-term financing.  The Company believes its available credit facilities 
and working capital generated by operations are sufficient to meet operating 
and capital requirements.
