NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by PerkinElmer, Inc. (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, filed on Form 10-K with the SEC (as supplemented by the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 3, 2001, the “2000 Form 10-K”). The balance sheet amounts at December 31, 2000 in this report were extracted from the Company’s audited 2000 financial statements included in the 2000 Form 10-K. Historical financial results have been restated to reflect the Company’s Fluid Sciences business unit and Security and Detection Systems business as discontinued operations (Note 7). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. The information set forth in these statements may be subject to normal year-end adjustments. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

      At the Company’s April 24, 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares was approved. At the April 24, 2001 Board of Directors’ meeting, a two-for-one stock split was approved and was effected on June 1, 2001 by means of a 100% stock dividend to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2001. All share and per share information presented has been restated to reflect the impact of this change.

(2)  Acquisitions

      On July 16, 2001, the Company announced its proposed acquisition of Packard BioScience Company (“Packard BioScience”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 13, 2001. In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to issue 0.311 shares of PerkinElmer common stock for each outstanding share of Packard BioScience common stock. The Company also agreed to assume all outstanding options to purchase Packard BioScience common stock, which will become exercisable for shares of PerkinElmer common stock following the merger after giving effect to the same exchange ratio as offered to the Packard BioScience common stockholders. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The transaction has been approved by the shareholders of Packard BioScience and PerkinElmer and is currently awaiting final regulatory approval. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2001.

      On July 31, 2000, 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 sciences industry. Details of the transaction and pro forma financial information were reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2000 and in the 2000 Form 10-K.

      Unaudited pro forma operating results for the Company for the nine months ended October 1, 2000, assuming the acquisition of NEN was completed as of January 3, 2000, would be as follows: sales of $1,302.7 million; net income of $60.3 million; basic and diluted earnings of $0.62 and $0.59 per share, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only. It is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated on the date for which the consummation of the acquisition is being given effect, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to acquisitions, other than NEN, does not adjust for businesses divested and does not adjust for foreign exchange. The pro forma amounts exclude acquisition related charges of $24.3 million for purchased in-process research and development related to NEN.

(3)  Restructuring Charges

      The Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $15.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2000 as a result of the continued transformation of the portfolio of businesses within the Life Sciences and Optoelectronics segments (the “2000 plan”). The principal actions in the restructuring plans included the closing or consolidation of a number of offices and facilities, transfer of assembly activities to lower cost geographic locations, disposal of underutilized assets and general cost reductions. Details of the 2000 plan are discussed more fully in the 2000 Form 10-K.

      The following table summarizes the restructuring activity related to the 2000 plan:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2001
	(In millions)
Accrued restructuring costs at beginning of period	$	15.1
Charges		(12.6	)
Accrued restructuring costs at end of period	$	2.5

      The Company finalized its restructuring plans related to its acquisition of the Analytical Instruments Division (AI) of PE Corp. (May 1999) during 2000. Additionally, the Company recorded approximately $4.0 million as accrued restructuring costs in connection with the NEN acquisition in August 2000. These plans primarily include actions to integrate the operations of the acquired businesses and improve their cost structures through consolidation or shutdown of certain facilities, workforce and overhead reductions and the termination of certain leases and other contractual obligations.

      The following table summarizes the restructuring activity related to the AI and NEN acquisitions:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2001
	(In millions)
Accrued restructuring costs at beginning of period	$	32.3
Charges		(10.8	)
Accrued restructuring costs at end of period	$	21.5

      Cash outlays during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $18.3 million for all of these plans. The majority of the actions remaining at September 30, 2001 are expected to occur in fiscal 2001 and early fiscal 2002.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the 2000 Form 10-K. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating profit. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. Unaudited sales and operating profit information by segment for the first nine months of 2001 and 2000 are discussed in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are considered an integral part of this note.

(7)  Discontinued Operations

      During October 2001, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Fluid Sciences business unit. As such, the Company has accounted for this business as a discontinued operation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations (“APB No. 30”) and, accordingly, the results of operations and related cash flows of the Fluid Sciences business unit have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as a separate line on the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements. The net assets of the Fluid Sciences business unit are reflected as Net Assets of Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

      In July 2001, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Security and Detection Systems business. The results of operations of the Security and Detection Systems business were previously reported as part of the Instruments segment. The Company has accounted for its Security and Detection Systems business as a discontinued operation in accordance with APB No. 30, and, accordingly, the results of operations of this business through the end of the second quarter of 2001 have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as a separate line on the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements. The results from operations for the third quarter of 2001 along with the net assets of the business are reflected as Net Assets of Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with APB No. 30.

      Summary operating results of the Fluid Sciences business unit and the Security and Detection Systems business reported as a separate line on the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes	$	9,608		$	12,355		$	29,531		$	19,669

(8)  New Accounting Pronouncements

      In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under these new Standards the FASB eliminated accounting for any mergers and acquisitions as poolings of interests, eliminated amortization of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, and established new impairment measurement procedures for goodwill. For calendar-year reporting companies, the standards become effective for all acquisitions completed on or after June 30, 2001. Changes in financial statement treatment for goodwill and intangible assets arising from mergers and acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2001 become effective January 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing these standards.

      In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs

are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

      In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing this statement to determine its effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2.      Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

Acquisitions and Divestitures

      On July 31, 2000, 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 sciences industry. Details of the transaction and pro forma financial information were reported on a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2000 and in the 2000 Form 10-K.

      In July 2001 and October 2001, respectively, the Board of Directors approved separate plans to sell the Security and Detection Systems business and Fluid Sciences business unit. Both businesses have appropriately been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Discussion Of Consolidated Results Of Continuing Operations

     Revenues

      Revenues for the third quarter of 2001 were $302.1 million, down 11% from $340.1 million for the third quarter last year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, revenues increased to $968.8 million, up 1% from $961.1 million for the same period last year. Both 2001 periods were positively affected by the acquisition of the NEN business, which occurred in the second half of 2000. On an organic revenue basis, adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, revenues declined by 7% in the third quarter from the comparable period in prior year. Organic growth in the third quarter was driven by 12% growth in Life Sciences, especially drug discovery tools and genetic screening, offset by a 16% decline in Optoelectronics, reflecting deterioration in the semiconductor and photography markets and an 8% decline in Instruments.

     Gross Margin

      Gross margins as a percentage of sales improved to 46% for both the third quarter and the nine-month period of 2001 from 44% and 43% for the respective periods of 2000. These improvements reflect the Company’s improving portfolio of businesses and product mix, strong focus on operations and aggressive approach to cost controls, including low cost sourcing.

     Research and Development

      Research and development expenses approximated 6% of sales for both the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, up from approximately 5% of sales for the third quarter of 2000 and consistent with the rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2000. The rate of research and development expenditures as a percentage of sales is reflective of the Company’s continued commitment to new product development.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

      Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 30% for both the third quarter and the nine-month period of 2001 from 29% and 28% for the respective periods of 2000. The increases were primarily related to incremental goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisition of NEN which occurred on July 31, 2000, as well as certain costs related to moving production facilities to lower cost locations.

     Gains on Dispositions and Restructuring Credits

      During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recognized previously deferred pre-tax gains relating to certain businesses previously divested of $2.0 million as a Gain on Disposition.

      During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recognized $1.8 million in previously deferred pre-tax gains on relating to businesses previously divested.

      During the first two quarters of 2000, the Company sold its micromachined sensors and specialty semiconductor businesses, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $6.7 million and recognized $1.6 million of pre-tax

10

gains from previously deferred sales proceeds, both of which were recognized as Gains on Dispositions. The financial results of the divested businesses for all periods were not material to the consolidated results of the Company.

     Other Expense, Net

      Other expense was $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2001, versus $11.6 million for the same period of 2000. Other expense decreased to $23.5 million for the first nine months of 2001, versus $24.0 million for the same period of 2000. The decrease in the third quarter expense from that of the same period for 2000 is reflective of the $3.4 million gain recognized on the sale of the Company’s interest in an equity investment, the average cost of debt being reduced period over period and the absence of foreign exchange losses which were incurred during the third quarter of 2000.

     Income Tax Expense

      Reported income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income was 30% and 44% for the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The period over period change in effective tax rates was the result of in-process research and development expenses written-off during the nine months ended October 1, 2000 that were not allowed for tax purposes, as well as the inclusion of a favorable IRS settlement during the third quarter of 2001.

     Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations

      Nonrecurring items during the third quarter of 2001 included a $3.4 million gain from the sale of an investment and a $2.0 million previously deferred gain offset by similar amounts of nonrecurring restructuring related charges, yielding a net adjustment of $0.1 million.

      The table below presents earnings per share from continuing operations before nonrecurring items and the amortization of goodwill and intangibles, discussed below under the caption “Segment Results of Continuing Operations”:

Segment Results Of Continuing Operations

     Life Sciences

      Revenues for the third quarter were $74.8 million versus $60.4 million for the prior period, increasing 24%, and revenues for the first nine months were $221.6 million versus $142.0 million for the prior period, increasing 56%. On an organic basis adjusted for the impact of the NEN acquisition, revenues for the third quarter increased 12% over that of the comparable period in prior year. This increase is the result of increased sales in the Company’s drug discovery tools and genetic screening businesses.

      Operating profit for the third quarter was $9.1 million compared to a loss of $17.1 million for the prior period, and for the first nine months was $22.1 million versus a loss of $6.7 million for the prior period. The increases for both the quarter and the nine-month periods over those of the prior year reflect a one-time write-off of in-process research and development associated with the acquisition of NEN during the third quarter of 2000 and year-over-year earnings related to organic revenue expansion.

      Operating profit before net nonrecurring items and goodwill and intangibles amortization for the third quarter was $14.9 million versus $12.0 million for the prior period, increasing 24%, and was $40.7 million for the first nine months versus $23.1 million for the prior period, increasing 76%. The increases for both the quarter and the nine-month periods over those of prior year reflect higher overall sales volume and increased profitability in the drug discovery tools and genetic screening businesses. For both 2001 periods presented, the principal element of the nonrecurring and amortization charges was the amortization of goodwill from the acquisition of NEN. For both 2000 periods, the principal difference was purchase accounting charges associated with in-process research and development and inventory revaluations stemming from the NEN acquisition.

      Optoelectronics

      Revenues for the third quarter were $97.2 million versus $126.3 million for the prior period, resulting in a decrease of 23%. For the first nine months, revenues were $326.1 million versus $361.7 million for the prior

12

period, resulting in a decrease of 10%. On an organic basis, revenues for the third quarter decreased 16% versus that of the comparable period in prior year. The decrease reflects industry-wide declines in the telecom, semiconductor and photography markets.

      Operating profit for the third quarter was $14.2 million compared to $21.3 million for the prior period, decreasing 33%, and for the first nine months was $48.9 million compared to $64.0 million for the prior period, decreasing 24%. The decline in operating profit for both periods is due to lower revenues, the cost of moving production facilities to lower cost locations and costs associated with streamlining operations.

      Operating profit before net nonrecurring items and goodwill and intangibles amortization for the third quarter was $18.2 million versus $23.3 million for the prior period, decreasing 22%, and for the first nine months was $59.1 million versus $58.3 million for the prior period, increasing 1%. Operating profit before nonrecurring items and goodwill and intangible amortization increased as a percentage of sales to 19% for the quarter and 18% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 versus 18% and 16% for the respective periods in 2000. For both 2001 periods, non-recurring and amortization charges were primarily comprised of goodwill amortization and non-recurring charges associated with the move to lower cost facilities and streamlining operations. During the 2000 periods, non-recurring and amortization charges were principally impacted by certain restructuring credits and non-recurring pretax gains.

     Instruments

      Revenues for the third quarter were $130.2 million versus $153.4 million for the prior period, resulting in a decrease of 15%. For the first nine months, revenues were $421.1 million versus $457.3 million for the prior period, decreasing 8%. On an organic basis, revenues for the third quarter decreased 8% over that of the comparable period in prior year. The third quarter decrease reflected the impact of logistics issues stemming from recent world events and the current economic environment.

      Operating profit for the third quarter was $13.6 million compared to $9.4 million for the prior period, increasing 45%, and for the first nine months was $42.9 million versus $30.4 million for the prior period, increasing 41%. The increase for both periods of 2001 is attributable to improvements in product mix and continued focus on cost control measures.

      Operating profit before net nonrecurring items and goodwill and intangibles amortization for the third quarter was $16.7 million versus $13.3 million for the prior period, increasing 26%, and for the first nine months was $50.9 million versus $43.2 million, increasing 18%. The primary component of nonrecurring and amortization charges during both the 2001 and 2000 periods was the amortization of goodwill.

Financial Condition

      Short-term debt at September 30, 2001 was $223.6 million and was comprised primarily of commercial paper borrowings of $220.0 million. The Company also has a $300 million revolving credit facility which expires in March 2002 and a $100 million revolving credit facility expiring in March 2006. There were no outstanding balances on either facility at September 30, 2001 or December 31, 2000. Long-term debt at September 30, 2001 was $593.9 million, consisting of $115.0 million of unsecured notes which mature in 2005 and $478.9 million of convertible debentures which mature in 2020. The debentures are currently convertible into 10.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock at approximately $44.00 per share.

      Cash and cash equivalents totaled $128.4 million at September 30, 2001 and $125.6 million at December 31, 2000. Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the first nine months of 2001 was $28.0 million and was comprised of net income from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $119.0 million and a $91.0 million net change in certain assets and liabilities. The net change in assets and liabilities was comprised primarily of a $44.1 million increase in inventory, a $23.4 million decrease in accrued restructuring costs and a $18.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2001 were $70.8 million.

Forward-Looking Information and Factors Affecting Future Performance

      This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Quarterly Report that relate to prospective events or developments are deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if the Company’s estimates change, and readers should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report. A number of important factors and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements, including without limitation the risk factors set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4, filed on August 3, 2001 with the SEC, under the caption, “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to PerkinElmer’s Business,” which risk factors are attached to this Quarterly Report as Exhibit 99.1 and are expressly incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      Market Risk: The Company is exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, the Company enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to the Company’s policies to hedge against known or forecasted market exposures.

      Foreign Exchange Risk Management: As a multinational corporation, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. As the Company’s international sales grow, exposure to volatility in exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company’s risk from exchange rate changes is primarily related to non-dollar denominated sales in Europe and Asia. The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The Company uses these derivative instruments to reduce its foreign exchange risk by essentially creating offsetting market exposures. The instruments held by the Company are not leveraged and are not held for trading purposes. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its net asset (balance sheet) position. The success of the hedging program depends on forecasts of transaction activity in the various currencies. To the extent that these forecasts are overstated or understated during periods of currency volatility, the Company could experience unanticipated currency gains or losses. The principal currencies hedged are the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and Singapore Dollar. In those currencies where there is a liquid, cost-effective forward market, the Company maintains hedge coverage between minimum and maximum percentages of its anticipated transaction exposure for periods not to exceed one year. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the value of the related exposure.

      Interest Rate Risk: The Company maintains an investment portfolio consisting of securities of various issuers, types and maturities. The investments are classified as available for sale. These securities are recorded on the balance sheet at market value, with any unrealized gain or loss recorded in comprehensive income. These instruments are not leveraged, and are not held for trading purposes.

      Value-At-Risk: The Company utilizes a Value-at-Risk (“VAR”) model to determine the maximum potential loss in the fair value of its interest rate and foreign exchange sensitive derivative financial instruments within a 95% confidence interval. The Company’s computation was based on the interrelationships between movements in interest rates and foreign currencies. These interrelationships were determined by observing historical interest rate and foreign currency market changes over corresponding periods. The assets and liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions, which are hedged by derivative financial instruments, were excluded from the model. The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. There are various modeling techniques that can be used in the VAR computation. The Company’s computations are based on the Monte Carlo simulation. The VAR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual gains or losses in fair value that will be incurred by

14

the Company. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to the VAR model’s estimated maximum loss in market value as discussed in the 2000 Form 10-K.

      Management periodically reviews its interest rate and foreign currency exposures and evaluates strategies to manage such exposures in the near future. The Company implements changes, when deemed necessary, in the management of hedging instruments which mitigate its exposure.

      Since the Company utilizes interest rate and foreign currency sensitive derivative instruments for hedging, a loss in fair value for those instruments is generally offset by increases in the value of the underlying transaction.

      It is the Company’s policy to enter into foreign currency and interest rate transactions only to the extent considered necessary to meet its objectives as stated above. The Company does not enter into foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
