PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

  (a)   The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
o (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
  (c)   The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As previously disclosed, Flowserve Corporation (the “Company”) is in the process of restating its financial statements for the years 2000 through 2003 and the first quarter of 2004. As a result of the restatement and the new obligations regarding internal controls attestation under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company was unable to timely file with the Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. In addition, the Company was unable to timely file with the Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 and will be unable to file such Quarterly Report within the five-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25(b). The Company expects to file its 2004 Annual Report with the Commission during the fourth quarter of 2005. Due to the length of time needed to complete its 2004 financial statements, the Company expects that it will be unable to timely file with the Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

         
Tara D. Mackey 972 443-6610
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

o   Yes þ   No

The Company has not yet filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004.

(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?

o   Yes o   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.

The Company previously reported that its bookings and backlog for the third quarter of 2005 increased compared to the third quarter of 2004, but that in the third quarter of 2005 it made a significant pension contribution and incurred significant fees and expenses relating to its new credit facility, including bond redemption call premiums, refinancing of its senior subordinated notes and ongoing restatement and compliance work. The Company, however, has not yet completed its pending restatement and has not finalized the quarterly financial statements for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to determine whether there will be a significant change in results of operations for the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004.
