    This Amendment No. 5 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, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on April 9, 2008,
Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on September 9, 2008 and this Amendment No. 5, 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. 5 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 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 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"). The Shares represent 4.65% 
of the 37,636,554 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 28, 2008, as
reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended October 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 1,201,300 shares of Common Stock,      
representing 3.19% 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 1,750,000 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 1,201,300 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    
were effected in the NASDAQ Global Market. Except as set forth on Schedules A   
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.
