This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D filed on February 2, 2007 (as
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on April 4, 2007, Amendment No. 2
thereto filed on April 23, 2007, and this Amendment No. 3, the "Schedule 13D")
and is being filed on behalf of Third Point LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Management Company"), Daniel S. Loeb, an individual, and Third
Point Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands limited liability exempted company
(the "Offshore Fund", and together with Mr. Loeb and the Management Company, the
"Reporting Persons"). This Amendment No. 3 relates to the Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Flow International Corporation, a Washington
corporation (the "Company"). The Management Company is the investment manager or
adviser to a variety of funds and managed accounts (such funds and accounts,
including the Offshore Fund, the "Funds"). The Funds directly own the Common
Stock to which the Schedule 13D relates, and Mr. Loeb and the Management Company
may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over such Common Stock by virtue of
the authority granted to them by the Funds to vote and to dispose of the
securities held by the Funds, including the Common Stock.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The Funds have expended an aggregate of approximately $25,242,821 of their
own investment capital to acquire the 4,710,000 shares of Common Stock held by
them. The Offshore Fund has expended an aggregate of approximately $15,971,133
of its own investment capital to acquire its 3,047,200 shares of Common Stock.
The Funds effect purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts
maintained for them with Bear, Stearns Securities Corp., Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, which may extend margin
credit to the Funds as and when required to open or carry positions in the
margin accounts, subject to applicable Federal margin regulations, stock
exchange rules and the firms' credit policies. In such instances, the positions
held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment
of debit balances in the accounts.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) As of the date hereof, the Management Company and Mr. Loeb beneficially
own 4,710,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"). The Shares represent 12.5%
of the 37,586,911 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 29, 2008, as
reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended January 31, 2008. The percentages used herein and in the rest of this
statement are calculated based upon this number of outstanding shares. The
Offshore Fund directly beneficially owns 3,047,200 shares of Common Stock,
representing 8.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date
hereof.
(b) The Management Company and Mr. Loeb share voting and dispositive power
over the 4,710,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds. The
Management Company, Mr. Loeb and the Offshore Fund share voting power and
dispositive power over the 3,047,200 shares of Common Stock held by the Offshore
Fund.

(c) Schedule A hereto sets forth certain information with respect to
transactions by the Funds (at the direction of the Management Company and Mr.
Loeb) in Common Stock during the past 60 days. Schedule B hereto sets forth
certain information with respect to transactions during the past 60 days by the
Offshore Fund (at the direction of the Management Company and Mr. Loeb) in
Common Stock. All of the transactions set forth on Schedule A and Schedule B

and B, during the past 60 days there were no transactions in the Common Stock
effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of
their directors, executive officers, general partners or members.
(d) Other than the Funds which directly hold the Shares, and except as set
forth in this Item 5, no person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Shares.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
