PROXY STATEMENT

This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Integral Vision, Inc. (the Company) for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on April 18, 2007 at 4:00 p.m., or any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement is being mailed on or about March 16, 2007 to all holders of record of common stock of the Company as of the close of business on March 1, 2007.

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING

The purpose of this Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be to elect Directors, to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 41,000,000 to 50,000,000, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

VOTING

Common Stock with no par value and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are the only voting stocks of the Company. Only holders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2007 are entitled to vote. In the case of Common Stock, holders are entitled to one (1) vote for each share held. In the case of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, holders have the same voting rights as a holder of Common Stock having a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Preferred Stock in full as to such holder. As of March 1, 2007, the Company had 29,511,409 common shares outstanding and no preferred shares outstanding. Holders of stock entitled to vote at the meeting do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of Directors.

All shares represented by proxies shall be voted "FOR" each of the matters recommended by management unless the Shareholder, or his duly authorized representative, specifies otherwise or unless the proxy is revoked. Any Shareholder who executes the proxy referred to in this statement may revoke it before it is exercised, provided written notice of such revocation is received at the office of the Company in Wixom, Michigan at least twenty-four (24) hours before the commencement of the meeting, or provided the grantor of the proxy is present at the meeting and, having been recognized by the presiding officer, announces such revocation in open meeting. All Shareholders are encouraged to date and sign the enclosed proxy form, indicate your choice with respect to the matters to be voted upon and return it to the Company.

Directors are elected by plurality vote, meaning that the five persons receiving the most votes at the meeting, assuming a quorum is present, are elected as directors of the Company. Most corporate governance actions other than elections of directors are approved by a majority of the votes cast. Although state law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company are silent on the issue, it is the intent of the Company that proxies received which contain abstentions or broker non-votes as to any matter will be included in the calculations as to the presence of a quorum, but will not be counted as votes cast in such matter in the calculation as to the needed majority vote.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

It is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for election of the following nominees to the Board of Directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting or until their successors are elected. In the event any nominee should be unavailable, which is not anticipated, the shares may, in the discretion of the proxy holders, be voted for the election of such persons as the Board of Directors may submit. Directors are elected for a term of one (1) year and until their successors are elected and qualified. Although the Company’s Board of Directors is currently composed of five members, the bylaws of the Company allow for up to nine directors. In the event qualified individuals are identified after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, up to four additional directors could be appointed at such later date by the Board.

All of the foregoing Directors and nominees have been engaged in the principal occupation specified for the previous five years except Vincent Shunsky who was a Director, Treasurer and Vice President of Finance of Maxco until December 1, 2005.

Mr. Coon is also a Director of Maxco, Inc., the common stock of which is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
Mr. Mallory is also a Director of Maxco, Inc., the common stock of which is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, there were a total of four meetings of the Board of Directors. Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky were present at fewer than 75% of the meetings held during the period.
 
The board of directors has established a Compensation Committee whose members are Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing compensation for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, approving executive compensation levels of all other executives and authorizing the levels and timing of bonus payments. In addition, this committee is responsible for administering the Company's Stock Option Plans, including designating the recipients and terms of specific option grants. The Compensation Committee met twice during the year ended December 31, 2006 to establish compensation criteria and levels and to grant options.

Director Nominations

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee. Because of the small size of the Company and the technical nature of the industry in which the Company operates, the board believes it is appropriate for the duties of identifying nominees for election to the board of directors to be performed by the full board, whose members are identified above. No charter has been adopted for the nominating committee. Because the common stock of the Company is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of

4


any securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding the independence of the members of the board of directors performing duties regarding the nomination of director candidates. Nevertheless, Bill Wallace and Samuel Mallory are independent as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The board of directors will consider director nominees recommended by shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a person or persons for consideration as a nominee for election to the board of directors must send a written notice by mail, c/o Investor Relations, Integral Vision, Inc., 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan 48393, that sets forth: (1) the name, address (business and residence), date of birth and principal occupation or employment (present and for the past five years) of each person whom the shareholder proposes to be considered as a nominee; (2) the number of shares of the common stock of the Company beneficially owned (as defined by section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by each such proposed nominee; (3) any other information regarding such proposed nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a definitive proxy statement to shareholders pursuant to section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (4) the name and address (business and residence) of the shareholder making the recommendation and the number of shares of the common stock of the Company beneficially owned (as defined by section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by the shareholder making the recommendation. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish additional information as may be reasonably required to determine the qualifications of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company. Shareholder recommendations will be considered only if received no less than 120 days before the date of the proxy statement sent to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders.

The board of directors will consider any nominee recommended by a shareholder in accordance with the preceding paragraph under the same criteria as any other potential nominee. The board of directors believes that a nominee recommended for a position on the Company’s board of directors must have an appropriate mix of director characteristics, experience, diverse perspectives and skills. For a new potential board member, the board of directors will in the first instance consider the independence of the potential member and the appropriate size of the board and then the qualifications of the proposed member. Qualifications of a prospective nominee that may be considered by the board of directors include:

 
·
Personal integrity and high ethical character;
 
·
Professional excellence;
 
·
Accountability and responsiveness;
 
·
Absence of conflicts of interest;
 
·
Fresh intellectual perspectives and ideas; and
 
·
Relevant expertise and experience and the ability to offer advice and guidance to management based on that expertise and experience.

The Company did not receive, by December 26, 2006, any recommended nominee from any shareholder.

Audit Committee and Committee Report.

The board of directors has adopted a Charter to govern the operations of its Audit Committee. A copy of this Charter was included as an exhibit to the Company's proxy statement for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Charter requires that the Audit Committee shall be comprised of at least two directors, each of whom is independent of management and the Company. As stated above, because the common stock of the Company is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding the independence of the members of the Audit Committee. However the Charter requires that each member of the Audit Committee be independent as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

For the year ended December 31, 2006 the board of directors appointed an Audit Committee whose members were William B. Wallace and Samuel O. Mallory. It is the opinion of the board of directors that the members of the Audit Committee are each independent under the above definition. In addition, the board of directors has determined that William B. Wallace meets the definition of a “financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of regulation S-K (17 CFR Section 299.401(h)). The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process

5


including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed the audited financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Company including the matters described in the written disclosures and letter required to be furnished by the independent auditors in accordance with the standards established by the Independence Standards Board.

The committee discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The committee meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of the examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The committee held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2006.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to the board of directors (and the board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Director Compensation

Mr. Wallace earns $200 per meeting and $800 per month for his responsibilities as the Audit Committee Chairperson. Vincent Shunsky earns $200 per meeting and $600 per month. None of our other directors receive any fees or other compensation for acting as directors.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors, including the independent directors, by sending written communication to the directors c/o the Chairman of the Board, 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan 48393. All such communications will be reviewed by the Chairman, or his designate, to determine which communications will be forwarded to the directors. All communications will be forwarded except those that are related to Company products and services, are solicitations, or otherwise relate to improper or irrelevant topics, as determined in the sole discretion of the Chairman, or his designate.

The Chairman shall maintain and provide copies of all such communications received and determined to be forwarded, to the Board of Directors in advance of each of its meetings. In addition, the Chairman will indicate to the board the general nature of communications that were not determined to be forwarded and such communications will be held until each board meeting to be reviewed by any interested director.

The Company has a policy and practice of requiring all directors standing for election at an annual meeting of Shareholders to attend such meeting.  All but one of the Company’s directors attended the Company’s annual meeting of its Shareholders held on May 31, 2006.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Committee Members

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") consists of Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky. Mr. Coon, although an officer of the Company, is also an officer and director of Maxco, Inc., is paid by Maxco, Inc. and receives no compensation from the Company. Mr. Shunsky earns $600 per month and $200 per meeting as a director.

Overview and Philosophy

The Committee is responsible for developing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the Company's executive compensation policies. In addition, the Compensation Committee, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, determines on an annual basis the compensation to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer and each of the other executive officers of the Company.

The objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to:

 
-
Support the achievement of desired Company performance.
 
-
Provide compensation that will attract and retain superior talent and reward performance.
 
-
Align the executive officers' interests with the success of the Company by placing a portion of pay at risk, with payout dependent upon corporate performance, and through the granting of stock options.

The executive compensation program provides an overall level of compensation opportunity that is competitive with companies of comparable size and complexity. The Compensation Committee will use its discretion to set executive compensation where, in its judgment, external, internal or an individual's circumstances warrant it.

Executive Officer Compensation Program

The Company's executive officer compensation program is composed of base salary, bonus, long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options, and various benefits, including medical and employee savings plans, generally available to employees of the Company.

Base Salary

Base salary levels for the Company's executive officers are competitively set relative to other comparable companies. In determining salaries the Committee also takes into account individual experience and performance. Due to the Company’s circumstances, base salary levels for certain of the Company's executive officers were unchanged from the prior year.

Stock Option Program

The stock option program is the Company's long-term incentive plan for executive officers and key employees. The objectives of the program are to align executive and shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between executive pay and shareholder return, and to enable executives to develop and maintain a significant, long-term stock ownership position in the Company's common stock.

In May 2004 a stock option plan allowing the issuance of options on up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock was approved by the Shareholders. This stock option plan provides for the grant of both options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and nonstatutory stock options which do not qualify for such treatment.

The stock option plan authorizes a committee of directors to award executive and key employee stock options, as well as options to directors and nonemployees who are in a position to materially benefit the Company. Stock options are granted at an option price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, have ten-year terms and can have exercise restrictions established by the committee, provided that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is authorized to approve modifications to the option price and other terms of stock options at or subsequent to their issuance.

8


Stock option plans, each authorizing options on 500,000 shares of our common stock on substantially the same terms, were approved by our shareholders in 1999 and 1995.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors modified the terms of the Company’s May 16, 2006 option award program. The modification which is effective October 24, 2006 changed the exercise/strike price from $1.50 to $.60 per share and changed the vesting period from one year to two years.

The financial statement impact of the modifications, which was determined in accordance with SFAS 123R increased the award program cost by $18,792. This amount, when added to the unrecognized cost of $144,910 for the original option award program, is $163,702 and will be recognized ratably as compensation cost over the vesting period remaining at the modification date plus one year.

Management believes that the option award program modifications were necessary to provide the Company with an effective means of retaining and motivating officers and key employees and to provide them with incentives to enhance the growth and profitability of the Company.
 
Employee Savings Plan

Effective July 1, 1986, the Company adopted a 401(k) Employee Savings Plan. The 401(k) is a "cash or deferred" plan under which employees may elect to contribute a certain portion of their compensation which they would otherwise be eligible to receive in cash. The Company has agreed to make a matching contribution of 20% of the employees' contributions of up to 6% of their compensation. In addition, the Company may make a profit sharing contribution at the discretion of the Board. All full time employees of the Company who have completed six months of service are eligible to participate in the plan. Participants are immediately 100% vested in all contributions. The plan does not contain an established termination date and it is not anticipated that it will be terminated at any time in the foreseeable future.

Benefits

The Company provides medical benefits to the executive officers that are generally available to Company employees. Additionally, executive officers may be provided with other benefits, such as life insurance and an automobile allowance. See the Summary Compensation Table below for further detail.

Chief Executive Officer

Charles J. Drake has served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer since 1978. His base salary for the 2006 year was $160,000. No bonus was paid to Mr. Drake for 2006. Due to the Company’s circumstances, Mr. Drake’s salary was unchanged from the prior year.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Maxco, Inc. owns approximately 8% of the outstanding Integral Vision stock. Max Coon, President and Chairman of Maxco, is Secretary and Vice Chairman of the Board of Integral Vision. Until the start of the third quarter of 2006, Maxco, Inc. provided consulting services to the Company. These services include assistance with financial statement preparation, compliance with governmental filing requirements, and assistance with certain financing arrangements. The Company and Maxco have agreed on terms for payment to Maxco for these services. Prior to October 1, 2004, no charges were made by Maxco for the services to Integral Vision. The services for the six months ended March 31, 2005 were satisfied by the issuance of 42,000 shares of unregistered common stock in the Company. The amount charged to operations in the first quarter of 2005 for these services amounted to $37,000, which is based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over that period. Effective April 1, 2005 and through November 30, 2005, the Company began paying Maxco $8,750 per month for each month such services were rendered. The amount charged to operations in 2005 for such administrative services amounted to $70,000. The dependence on Maxco’s services has decreased and therefore beginning December 1, 2005, the Company began compensating Maxco on an hourly basis. The amount charged to operations in 2006 for these services was $6,960. Maxco’s services have not been required since the second quarter of 2006.
 
Compliance with Reporting Requirements

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's Directors and Executive Officers or beneficial owners of over 10% of any class of the Company's equity securities to file certain reports regarding their ownership of the Company's securities or any changes in such ownership. All reports were filed on time during the year ended December 31, 2006.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Company proposes to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of its no par value, non-cumulative, common stock from 41,000,000 to 50,000,000. There are no preemptive rights to the Company’s common stock. As of March 1, 2007, the Company had 29,511,409 common shares outstanding.

A primary reason for the proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock is to allow the company to raise additional equity funding for continuing operations and anticipated growth. If the Company does so, existing security holders will own a smaller percentage of the Company.
