I, Charles M. Brown, certify that:



1. I have reviewed this Amendment No. 1 of the annual
report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 of Flow International Corporation;



2. Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact

4. The registrants other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining

a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this annual report is being prepared;



b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;



c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this annual report our
conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report based on such evaluation; and

over financial reporting; and



5. The
registrants other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrants auditors and the audit committee of registrants board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent function):

report financial information; and



b) any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrants internal control over financial reporting.
