SEC rules require us to present our audited financial statements in various SEC
filings, along with the consent of our auditors to our inclusion of their audit
report in those filings. Until recently, our auditors were Arthur Andersen LLP.
The SEC recently provided regulatory relief that allows companies that file
reports with the SEC to dispense with the requirement to file audited financial
statements and/or a consent of Arthur Andersen LLP in certain circumstances.

We have not been able to obtain, after reasonable efforts, (1) audited
financial statements for the PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings Plan for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001, or (2) the written consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to
our inclusion in this Annual Report on Form 11-K of its report certifying our
financial statements for the Plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.
As a result, Arthur Andersen LLP may not have any liability under Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of material fact contained in
the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP or any omissions of a
material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, participants in the
Plan may be unable to assert a claim against Arthur Andersen LLP under
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

We are filing with this Form 11-K unaudited financial statements for the Plan
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. No auditor has opined that these
unaudited financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits, for each of the periods reported, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We intend to provide audited financial statements for the Plan for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001 by filing an Amendment to this Annual Report on
Form 11-K, which will include such audited financial statements and the report
of Deloitte & Touche LLP thereon, as soon as practicable and not later than
August 28, 2002.

PERKINELMER, INC. SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following description of the PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings Plan (the
     "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
     should refer to the Plan Document for more complete information.

     GENERAL--The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
     employees of PerkinElmer, Inc. (the "Company") who are not members of a
     collective bargaining unit or who are members of a unit that specifically
     provides for participation in the Plan. The Plan also covers employees of
     each wholly owned domestic subsidiary that has entered into an agreement to
     adopt the Plan. The Plan is administered by an Administrative Committee
     appointed by the Company (the Plan administrator), which has overall
     responsibility for interpreting the provisions of the Plan and providing
     the trustee with any information required in the discharge of its duties.
     Fidelity serves as the trustee of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA").

     CONTRIBUTIONS--Participation in the Plan is voluntary. As defined in the
     Plan, participants can elect to make voluntary contributions of up to 16%
     of their eligible compensation. In order to maintain the Plan's status as
     nondiscriminatory, the contribution amounts for highly compensated
     employees may be limited. Company matching contributions are made on an
     annual basis. Matching contributions are made for all active participants
     as of December 31 and for participants who have terminated during the year
     due to death, permanent disability or retirement. The Company's matching
     contribution for each participant is equal to the lesser of 55% of the
     participant's contribution or 3.3% of the employee's annual compensation.
     Company matching contributions totaled $4,875,897 and $5,793,757 for the
     years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     In addition, certain eligible participants received supplemental
     contributions in 2000 to compensate for the loss of additional pension
     benefits under a separate retirement plan. These supplemental contributions
     totaled $3,126 for the year ended December 31, 2000. There were no
     contributions required for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS--Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan
     participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
     contribution, the Company's matching contribution, and supplemental
     contribution and allocations of Plan earnings, and charged with an
     allocation of Plan losses and administrative expenses. Allocations are
     based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit
     to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from
     the participant's vested account.

     VESTING AND FORFEITURES--Participants are vested immediately in their
     voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the
     Company's contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of
     continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after six years of
     credited service. In addition, if a participant terminates employment due
     to death, disability or retirement (as defined), his or her account balance
     becomes 100 percent vested. Forfeited balances of terminated participants
     are used to reduce future Company contributions. The Company's contribution
     was reduced by forfeitures of $126,569 and $154,641 for the years ended
     December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

                                       3


1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     INVESTMENTS--Participants direct the investment of their contributions and
     Company contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.
     The Plan currently offers several mutual funds and Company stock as
     investment options for participants.

     PARTICIPANT LOANS--Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
     minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested
     account balance, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in
     the participant's account and bear interest at rates fixed for the term of
     the loan by the administrative committee based on interest rates currently
     being charged by commercial lending institutions. The period of repayment
     for any loan is determined by the administrative committee and the
     participant, but in no event shall that period exceed 60 months.

     PAYMENT OF BENEFITS--On termination of service due to death, disability, or
     retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount
     equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her
     account, or annual installments over a ten-year period. For termination of
     service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the
     vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. Benefit
     payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING--The accompanying financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
     United States of America.

     USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
     the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes
     therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan
     utilizes various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general,
     are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall
     market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
     investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values
     of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes
     could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

     INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION--The Plan's investments are
     stated at fair value except for its benefit-responsive investment
     contracts, which are valued at contract value. Quoted market prices are
     used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net
     asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans are
     stated at cost, which approximates fair value.


                                       4


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     As of December 31, 2001, the fair value of the benefit-responsive
     investment contracts equaled $71,846,630, which was $202,042 higher than
     the contract value. In addition, the average yield and crediting interest
     rate for the same period was 5.74% and 5.46%, respectively. There was no
     valuation reserves assigned to these investment contracts at December 31,
     2001.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
     the ex-dividend date.

     PAYMENT OF BENEFITS -- Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon
     distribution.

     EXPENSES--Administrative expenses of the Plan, are paid by either the Plan
     or the Plan's Sponsor, as provided in the Plan Document.

3.   INVESTMENTS

     The Plan's investments that represented five percent or more of the Plan's
     net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as
     follows:
                                                       2001           2000

4.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity
     Investments ("Fidelity"). Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan.
     In addition, investments include shares of Company common stock. These
     transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the
     Plan for the investment management services were $39,858 and $32,002 for
     the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.


                                       5


5.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
     letter dated February 15, 1996, that the Plan and related trust were
     designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Internal
     Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
     letter; however, the Company and the plan administrator believe that the
     Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the Plan and related trust
     continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has
     been included in the Plan's financial statements.

6.   PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the
     event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100 percent
     vested in their account.

7.   PLAN AMENDMENTS

     Effective January 1, 2000, the profit sharing and 401(k) plans acquired in
     connection with the acquisition of Lumen Technologies, Inc. ("Lumen") were
     merged into the Plan and are included in the rollover contributions on the
     statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
     ended December 31, 2000. All Lumen employees became eligible to participate
     in the Plan and have been credited for past service with Lumen.

     In August 2000, the Company acquired NEN Life Sciences ("NEN"). An
     amendment to the Plan provided that employer contributions made to the Plan
     on accounts of NEN employees for period beginning on or after the closing
     date of the acquisition should be 100 percent vested at all times. In
     addition, the employer contributions for the NEN employees should equal 100
     percent of the total before-tax and after-tax contributions made by the
