TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION

Gerber Scientific, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 1997, Registration No. 333-42879 (the “Registration Statement”), in order to deregister certain of the 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) and interests under the Gerber Scientific, Inc. and Participating Subsidiaries 401(k) Maximum Advantage Program and Trust (the “Program”) that were originally registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

In June 2002, the Company terminated the feature of the Program that allowed participants to invest in a fund holding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, as of June 2002, no further investments could be made under the Program in Common Stock. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister all Program interests and any shares of Common Stock that have not been issued under the Program.
