PART III NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.) On June 18, 2002, the PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings Plan (the "Registrant") dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as its independent public accountants. On June 20, 2002, the Registrant engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective as of June 20, 2002, to serve as its independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. In prior years, representatives of Andersen have assisted the Registrant in preparing and reviewing the financial statements required to be filed with the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 11-K. Due to the change in independent public accountants, the process of preparing and reviewing the necessary financial statements has been delayed. Due to the reasons described above, the Registrant could not have timely filed its Annual Report on Form 11-K without unreasonable effort or expense. PART IV OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification: Terrance L. Carlson, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Clerk of PerkinElmer, Inc., (781) 237-5100.

If the answer is no, identify report(s). [X] Yes [ ] No (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [ ] Yes [ ] No If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. Not applicable, because Form 11-K does not require the inclusion of results of operations or earnings statements. PerkinElmer, Inc.
