Full title of the plan and the address of the plan, if different from that of the issuer named below: PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings Plan B. Name of issuer of the securities held pursuant to the plan and the address of its principal executive office: PerkinElmer Stock Fund 45 William Street Wellesley, MA 02481 PERKINELMER, INC. SAVINGS PLAN 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.

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 Fidelity Contrafund $ 19,757,255 $ 24,956,946 Fidelity Growth Company Fund 54,438,099 78,120,718 Fidelity Balanced Fund 18,376,754 18,234,883 Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Commingled Pool 34,851,184 44,381,799 PerkinElmer Stock Fund 13,774,242 18,153,556 Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II 57,084,541 33,671,986 During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the depreciation in Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) are as follows: 2001 2000 Mutual funds $(33,562,011) $(29,706,445) Company stock (6,089,141) 7,608,684 ------------ ------------ $(39,651,152) $(22,097,761) ============ ============ 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 employee, not to exceed 5 percent of the employee's compensation. An additional amendment, effective February 1, 2001 extended the same employer contribution provisions provided to the NEN employees to the remainder of the employees in the Life Sciences Division. Furthermore, non NEN employees, now vest in the employer contributions over three years. ****** 6 PERKINELMER, INC.
