PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

          The following summary highlights key information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information that may be important to you in deciding whether to purchase shares of our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the discussion of “Risk Factors” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. In this prospectus, “Integral Vision” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Integral Vision, Inc. and its subsidiary unless the context requires otherwise.

The Company

          Integral Vision, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. The Company primarily inspects microdisplays and small flat panel displays, though the technology used is scalable to allow inspection of full screen displays and components.

          We have over nine years of experience in the display industry. Our products have been used for inspections of liquid crystal displays (LCD) and flat panel displays like those used in cell phones, electronic organizers, hand-held video games, camcorders, rear projection computer monitors, digital still cameras, HDTV, projectors, video headsets and other products. Using various software tools, our display inspection systems detect cosmetic and functional defects and employ a special interface to provide the results, images and statistics to production personnel.

          Our production process consists principally of assembling standard electrical, electronic and optical components and hardware subassemblies purchased from suppliers into finished products. We do not rely on a single source for parts and subassemblies. This mitigates our exposure to product interruption due to shortages of parts or limited suppliers. In developing and designing our products we utilize our proprietary intellectual property, which we protect using mechanisms and methods available to us by law. We presently own 14 U.S. patents. However, there can be no assurance that our patents would be considered valid if challenged or would not become obsolete due to technological advancement.

          The market for machine vision products is characterized by rapid and continuous technological development and product innovation. In an effort to maintain our competitive advantage, we allocate a significant portion of our resources to enhancing existing products and advancing new product development programs. We also seek to maintain close relationships with customers to remain responsive to their needs. The nature of our product offerings may result in significant sales to one or a limited number of customers in any one year. It is possible that the specific customers reaching this threshold may change from year to year. Loss of any one of these customers could have a material impact on our results of operations. Although, we generally market our products to end users, we have had success integrating our products with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in certain circumstances.

          Our company faces significant risks. Because of our continuing losses and our need for an increased sales level to achieve profitability, our independent auditors included a “going concern” uncertainty in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The “going concern” uncertainty signifies that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue in business. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” for more information about the risks faced by us.

          Our principal executive office is located at 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan 48393, and our telephone number is (248) 668-9230.

RISK FACTORS

          An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. If any of the adverse events described in this “Risk Factors” section actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. This section includes or refers to forward-looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements discussed in “Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Information.”

          We have a history of operating losses. We may incur future losses. This condition has caused our independent auditors to express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

          We have experienced net operating losses and incurred negative cash flows from operations since 1997. As of December 31, 2005, we had stockholder equity of $2,384,000. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations of approximately $2.7 million, $2.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. This condition has caused our independent auditors to express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements. Currently, our continuance as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain and secure sufficient orders to achieve profitable operations. Although management believes that revenues from operations will be adequate to permit the Company to meet its obligations, there can be no assurance that such revenues will be accomplished or that we will be able to continue as a going concern in the normal course of business.

          Unless we are able to obtain orders and ship our products at the rate we presently anticipate, our revenues may not be sufficient to pay our debts when they become due.

          Our ability to generate profits will depend upon our future financial and operating performance, which in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. If our orders become less frequent or decrease in volume, our cash flow and capital resources may become insufficient to fund our operations until we begin to receive sufficient orders. We may be forced to delay planned expansion and diminish capital expenditures, sell assets or obtain additional financing through equity capital or debt. We cannot assure you that our operating results, cash flows and capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our obligations in the future.

          Unless we are able to generate greater revenues, we may not be able to maintain positive equity on our balance sheet. We may require additional financing, which may not be accessible on attractive terms or at all.

          For the last several years, we have financed our operations through the sale of our securities and by borrowing money. We need to generate revenues at a level higher than our current rate. Our present cash position and current sales level is expected to fund our existing operations through the first quarter of 2007. After such period we may require additional financing to continue operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate revenues, maintain positive stockholders’ equity or obtain additional financing sufficient to fund our capital needs.

5


          Sales of our machine vision products will grow when new technologies are adopted in mass production. Our sales should also grow when automated inspection of display products becomes more accepted.

          Our sales in the last few years have involved small quantities of inspection systems sold to several companies that are developing micro-display technologies. Our growth is dependent upon the rate of commercialization and mass production of the following micro-display technologies:

 

 

 

 

Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS);

 

 

 

 

Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS); and

 

 

 

 

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).

          However, adoption of new technologies may not occur in the near future.

          In addition, when automatic inspection of LCD displays becomes more widespread, we expect our products to become more attractive and the demand for our products to increase. Although it is presently anticipated that the rate of commercialization, mass production and automation of inspection is expected to grow in the next six months to a year, such growth could be delayed, as it has been in the past. The previous delays in the development of this industry were related to our potential customers solving a number of technical and production process problems. Any further delays in the full production of these micro-display technologies, or the abandonment of these technologies, would have significant negative consequences to our survival and future growth. If a viable market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may be unable to recover the losses we will have incurred to develop our products. We may also be unable to achieve profitability.

          Our potential customers may hesitate to place large orders with us because of our financial condition.

          Because of our financial position, certain customers and potential customers have expressed concerns regarding our stability and our resulting ability to fill any potential large orders. While the recent placement of convertible preferred shares and infusion of new capital may resolve some of these concerns, there is no assurance that potential customers will feel confident enough to place orders with us or that we will be able to fill any orders which are placed.

          Our future will depend on our ability to develop and successfully introduce new products and product enhancements.

          The markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological change. If we do not update and enhance our technologies, they will become obsolete. Our continued success will depend in large part upon our ability to develop and successfully introduce new products and product enhancements. We have devoted, and will continue to devote, substantial resources to product development. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully develop, introduce or market new products or enhancements. We are also not certain that our new products or enhancements will meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products or enhancements in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, the success of our business will be materially and adversely affected. In addition, technological developments have resulted and may continue to result in the obsolescence of components and subassemblies which we hold as inventory.

6


          We may experience difficulties with third parties who supply electrical, electronic and optical components and hardware subassemblies for the compilation of our products.

          We rely on third party vendors to supply key components and subassemblies for our products. If those suppliers fail to develop and supply these components in a timely manner or at all, or fail to develop or supply components that meet our quality, quantity or cost requirements, we may become unable to obtain the necessary parts and subassemblies. If such event occurs, and if we are unable to obtain substitute sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, we may not be able to assemble our products on schedule or at all. In addition, to the extent that our supply partners use technology or manufacturing processes that are proprietary, we may be unable to obtain comparable components from alternative sources. We may also need to scale back implementation of our business development plans in the absence of needed vendors, which would adversely affect our future prospects. While we have entered into relationships with suppliers of some key components for our products, we do not know when or whether we will secure supply relationships for all required components and subassemblies for our products, or whether such relationships will be on terms that will allow us to achieve our objectives. Our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed if we fail to secure relationships with entities which can supply the required components for our products or if such suppliers suffer shortages of parts.

          Failure of our products to pass testing could negatively impact demand for our products.

          We may encounter problems and delays during testing of our products for a number of reasons, including:

 

 

 

 

failure of our technology;

 

 

 

 

failure of technology of third parties; and

 

 

 

 

our failure to design, maintain and service our products properly.

          Many of these potential problems and delays are beyond our control. Any problem or perceived problem with our product tests could materially harm our reputation and impair market acceptance of, and demand for, our products.

          We face competition from other companies and may be unable to compete successfully.

          The markets in which we intend to compete are new and require technological advancement. However, we anticipate that the rate of mass production and automation of inspection of micro-display products will grow and the markets will attract more competition. For optical inspection, our primary competitor is Westar Display Technologies, Inc. We believe that the principal competitive factors for optical inspection are quality, price, cycle times, and features. While we believe we currently compete favorably with respect to the above factors, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to continue to do so or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. While we may face competition from additional sources in all aspects of our business, we believe that competition in the optical inspection of small flat panel displays, in particular, may intensify and that companies with substantially greater financial, technical, research and development, manufacturing and marketing resources than us may enter our markets.

          We sell a large percentage of our products outside of the United States. Changes in trade relations or local regulations may adversely affect our sales.

          Products sold for ultimate delivery to non-U.S. end-users accounted for 5%, 84% and 13% % of our net sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We expect that such sales will continue to represent a significant percentage of our net sales. Non-U.S. sales involve a number of risks, including the following:

7


 

 

 

 

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

 

 

 

changes in trade policies;

 

 

 

 

tariff regulations;

 

 

 

 

changes in governments;

 

 

 

 

differences in commercial and regulatory requirements;

 

 

 

 

potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; and

 

 

 

 

potential difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights.

          Most of our international sales are made in U.S. dollars. For certain non-U.S. sales, we market and sell our products through independent sales representatives in Western Europe and Asia. The loss of a key foreign sales agent or OEM could have a material adverse effect on our non-U.S. sales and, accordingly, the success of our business.

          We may be unable to secure or enforce patent rights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property. As a result we could lose our competitive advantage.

          We believe that we currently have a competitive advantage based on the technological superiority of our products. We may not be successful in securing or maintaining proprietary patent protection for our products or technologies that we develop or license. In addition, our competitors may develop products similar to ours using methods and technologies that are beyond the scope of our intellectual property protection, which could reduce our anticipated sales. While some of our products have proprietary patent protection, a challenge to these patents may result in litigation. Prosecuting or defending patent infringement suits or otherwise protecting our intellectual property rights can be protracted, expensive and may distract management and other personnel from performing their duties for us. However, failure to do so may diminish our ability to compete effectively and may harm our operating results.

          In order to develop and protect our competitive position, we rely upon:

 

 

 

 

patents;

 

 

 

 

trade secrets;

 

 

 

 

procedures related to confidentiality;

 

 

 

 

contractual provisions;

 

 

 

 

unpatented proprietary know-how; and

 

 

 

 

continuing technological innovation.

          Confidentiality agreements to which we are party may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. We cannot assure you that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary technology and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and technology. Our inability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and processes could allow our competitors to limit or eliminate any competitive advantages we may have.

          If we are unable to secure or enforce patent rights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property, the success of our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, there is no guaranty that foreign intellectual property laws will protect our patents and other intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

8


          Third parties may also claim infringement by us with respect to past, current or future technologies. We expect that participants in our markets will be increasingly involved in infringement claims as litigation concerning patents, other forms of intellectual property and proprietary technology is becoming more widespread. Any claim, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming and result in costly litigation, operational delays and distraction of management. If we are found to have infringed on the intellectual property of others, our products could be removed from the market, or we could suffer a substantial delay in, or prevention of, the introduction of new products to the market. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.

          Our business depends on retaining and attracting highly capable management and operating personnel.

          Our continued success depends in large part on certain key management and technical personnel, the loss of one or more of whom could adversely affect our future. In particular, we rely upon the services and expertise of:

 

 

 

 

our CEO, Charles J. Drake;

 

 

 

 

our President, Mark R. Doede;

 

 

 

 

our Chief Technical Officer, Andrew Blowers; and

 

 

 

 

our product development and engineering staff.

          If any of them were to become unavailable to work for us, our financial condition, operating results and future prospects for success would be adversely affected.

          Our growth strategy will require the following:

 

 

 

 

expanded customer services and support;

 

 

 

 

increased personnel throughout the Company;

 

 

 

 

expanded operational and financial systems; and

 

 

 

 

implementation of additional control procedures.

          To retain and attract key personnel, we use various measures, including employment agreements, a stock incentive plan and incentive bonuses for key employees. We believe that our future success will depend significantly upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled technical, sales and management employees. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel.

          We may be unable to manage rapid growth effectively.

          We expect to expand our production capabilities, accelerate the marketing of our products and enter a period of rapid growth. This will place a significant strain on our senior management team and our financial and other resources. The proposed expansion will expose us to increased competition, greater overhead, marketing and support costs and other risks associated with the development and production of technologically advanced new products. Our ability to manage our rapid growth effectively will require us to do the following:

 

 

 

 

continue to improve our operations;

 

 

 

 

improve our financial and management information systems; and

 

 

 

 

train, motivate and manage our employees.

9


          Difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting and other process control issues presented by such a rapid expansion could harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

          All of our operations are consolidated in a single location and we are susceptible to business interruption in the event of damage to or disruptions in our facility.

          Our headquarters and all of our employees are located in the same building in Wixom, Michigan. We have no present plans to establish any offices in addition to our headquarters. Because our operations are consolidated in one location, we are more susceptible to power and equipment failures and business interruptions in the event of fires, floods and other natural disasters than if we had multiple office locations. We cannot assure you that we are adequately insured to cover the amount of any losses relating to any of these potential events, business interruptions resulting from damage to or destruction of our headquarters or other events affecting us that do not occur on our premises.

          Our principal shareholders have substantial control over our affairs.

          Our directors and executive officers, together with our other principal shareholders, own or control approximately 66% of our outstanding common stock as of the date of this prospectus. These shareholders are able to exert substantial influence over all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election and removal of directors, amendments to our articles of incorporation and by-laws, and the approval of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, this concentration of ownership could inhibit the management of our business and affairs and have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination which you, as a shareholder, may view favorably.

          Product liability or defects could negatively impact our operations and demand for our products.

          Any liability we incur for damages resulting from malfunctions or design defects of our products could be substantial and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, a publicized actual or perceived problem could adversely affect the market’s perception of our products resulting in a decline in demand for our products. Such an event could divert the attention of our management, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

          Our common stock price has been and could remain volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

          The market price of our common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility. During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, the sale price of our common stock fluctuated from $1.16 to $2.43 per share. We believe that our common stock is subject to wide price fluctuations because of several factors, including the following:

 

 

 

 

absence of meaningful earnings;

 

 

 

 

relatively thin trading market for our common stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price;

 

 

 

 

announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships;

 

 

 

 

general volatility in recent years of the stock markets, especially the markets for technology-related stocks; and

10


 

 

 

 

investor sentiment regarding equity markets generally, including public perception of corporate ethics and governance and the accuracy and transparency of financial reporting.

          This volatility has affected the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

          If our shareholders sell a large number of shares of common stock or if we issue a large number of shares in connection with future acquisitions or financings, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly. Further, the perception in the public market that our shareholders might sell a large number of shares of common stock could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. In addition, we may become subject to securities class action litigation as a result of volatility in the price of our common stock, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources and could harm our stock price, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

          The terms of our agreement related to recently issued common stock and warrants may restrict our operations and future financing arrangements.

          Our securities contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:

 

 

 

 

sell our common stock or common stock equivalents under certain circumstances;

 

 

 

 

engage in variable rate and “most favored nation” transactions;

 

 

 

 

repurchase our capital stock and debt securities, except for repurchases made from certain earnings, and except for payments or actions with respect to debt securities;

 

 

 

 

merge with or into another entity, except for certain mergers in which our company survives and is not in default, or mergers in which the surviving company assumes our obligations to the securities holders;

 

 

 

 

make certain investments, except for investments that are expressly permitted such as investments in certain US government securities, investments in the ordinary course of business and investments not exceeding $500,000 in the aggregate;

 

 

 

 

dispose of any assets in which security interests have been granted to securities holders, except for certain dispositions such as dispositions in the ordinary course of business, and dispositions providing for payment of 50% of the proceeds to those securities holders, or at the election of certain securities holders’, conversion of certain securities into our common stock;

 

 

 

 

create liens on our assets, except for certain permitted liens, which include, among other things, liens incurred in the ordinary course of business or certain liens not exceeding $500,000 in the aggregate; and

 

 

 

 

engage in transactions with our affiliates, except on terms which are no less favorable to us than could be obtained from persons who are not affiliates.

          These covenants may limit our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to secure additional financing. As a result, we may be hindered from engaging in transactions that might be considered important to our business strategy or otherwise beneficial to us.

11


          In the event that we obtain additional capital, existing shareholders may face dilution from our financing efforts.

          For the last several years, we have financed our operations through the sale of our securities and by borrowing money. These transactions have resulted in the dilution of ownership interests held by existing shareholders. Although we do not anticipate a need for additional financing for at least 12 months, we may choose to raise additional capital through public or private financing. We could issue debt securities, capital stock, or a combination of these securities. If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership percentage of our common stock will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our common stock. We may also have to issue securities that have rights, preferences and privileges superior to our common stock.

          We could be subject to legal action by the investors and by state and federal securities regulators if we have failed to comply with all applicable laws in connection with our private placement transactions.

          We have offered and sold securities in private placements in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Commission and state agencies. These exemptions are highly technical in nature and if we inadvertently failed to comply with the requirements of any of the exemptive provisions, investors might have the right to rescind their purchase of our securities or sue for damages. If one or more investors were to successfully seek rescission or prevail in any suit, we could face severe financial demands that could materially and adversely affect our financial position. Further, the Commission and state agencies could take action against us that could, among other things, divert management’s attention from the operation of our business, cause us to pay fines and penalties and cause us to have to repay investors their original investment.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

          Some of the information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus may contain “forward-looking statements”, as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to events or transactions that have not yet occurred, our expectations or estimates for our future operations, objectives, growth strategies, business plans or other facts that have not yet occurred. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “might,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “likely,” “believe,” or “continue” or the negative of those words, or other variations or comparable terminology. You should understand that these forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting our judgment, not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

          The following important factors, in addition to those discussed in “Risk Factors” and other unforeseen events or circumstances, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:

 

 

 

 

our ability to develop commercially viable products;

 

 

 

 

our ability to control costs;

 

 

 

 

the development of viable markets for our products;

 

 

 

 

development of our sales force;

 

 

 

 

successful adoption of our products and services;

 

 

 

 

managerial execution;

12


 

 

 

 

employee retention;

 

 

 

 

our ability to protect our intellectual property;

 

 

 

 

competition;

 

 

 

 

release of new and upgraded products and services by us or our competitors;

 

 

 

 

changes within our industries;

 

 

 

 

our possible future need for additional capital;

 

 

 

 

changes in accounting policies or practices;

 

 

 

 

legal and regulatory issues; and

 

 

 

 

general economic conditions.

          Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

          We will not receive any proceeds from the disposition of up to 22,495,071 shares of common stock or interests therein by the selling shareholders. However, if any of the warrants to purchase common stock being registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part are exercised for cash, we will receive the exercise price for these transactions. There can be no assurance that any of these warrants will be exercised. However, if all of these outstanding warrants are exercised prior to their respective expiration dates, we will receive proceeds of approximately $5,921,040. Any proceeds we receive will be used for working capital purposes and reduction of our outstanding debt. We have agreed to pay the expenses in connection with the registration of these shares, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the selling shareholders will be borne by the selling shareholders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

          Over a period from March 29, 2001 through March 31, 2005, we sold our Class 1 Notes, Class 2 Notes and Class 3 Convertible Notes to a limited number of investors in private transactions. The Class 1 and Class 2 Note purchasers also obtained warrants to purchase our common stock at prices that were based on the market price of our common stock at the time the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes were purchased. The Class 3 Convertible Notes are convertible into our common stock at a price based on the market price of our common stock at the time the Class 3 Notes were purchased. As of the date of this prospectus, all of the Class 1 Note warrants and most of the Class 2 Note warrants have been exercised and most of the Class 3 Notes have been converted into common stock. We agreed to register, if the shareholders so request, up to 100% of the common stock issued upon the exercise of the Class 1 and 2 Note warrants and conversion of convertible notes for resale by selling shareholders. As of the date of this prospectus, 10,902,231 of the original 11,425,508 shares of common stock issued against these securities remain eligible for registration. In addition, we agreed to register up to 100% of the common stock issuable upon the exercise of remaining outstanding Class 2 Note warrants and conversion of outstanding Class 3 Convertible Notes, if the holders of securities request to be included in the registration. As of the date of this prospectus, the outstanding Class 2 Note warrants are exercisable into 321,040 shares at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share, and outstanding Class 3 convertible notes are convertible into 378,000 shares at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share.

13


          In June 2004, we sold $1,504,260 in aggregate principal amount of our common shares to a limited number of investors in private transactions. At the request of the shareholders, we agreed to register up to 100% of the June 2004 shares for resale by the selling shareholders. As of the date of this prospectus, there remain 1,143,800 of the original 1,223,000 common shares representing all of the shares issued in June 2004.

          On April 12, 2005, we sold $7,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our convertible preferred stock with stated value of $1,000 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement. Each warrant is exercisable at an exercise price equal to $1.60 per share and expires on April 12, 2010. On May 27, 2005, the preferred shares automatically converted into 7,000,000 shares of common stock upon shareholder approval to increase our authorized common stock and upon filing of the Certificate of Amendment of our Articles of Incorporation relating to same. We agreed to register an aggregate 10,500,000 shares of our common stock underlying the converted preferred stock and related warrants, for resale by the selling shareholders. As of the date of this prospectus there remain 9,750,000 of the original 10,500,000 shares.

          We issued 42,000 shares of our unregistered common stock to Maxco, Inc. in consideration for consulting services provided to us by Maxco for six months ended March 31, 2005. Maxco’s services included assistance with financial statement preparation, compliance with governmental filing requirements, and assistance with certain financing arrangements. The amount charged to operations for this compensation amounted to $70,000 which is based on the average closing price of our common stock over that period. We agreed to register 100% of such common stock.

          The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2006, by each of the selling shareholders. This information includes the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus, the number of shares each selling shareholder may dispose of pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares which each would own beneficially if all the shares covered hereby are sold. The number of shares in the column labeled “Shares Being Offered” represents all of the shares that each selling shareholder may dispose of pursuant to this prospectus. The table assumes that the selling shareholders will dispose of all of the shares covered hereby, although registration of the shares of common stock in this prospectus on their behalf does not obligate any of them to offer or sell such shares. We are unable to determine the exact number of shares that actually will be disposed of. We do not know how long the selling shareholders will hold the shares before disposing of them and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any of the selling shareholders regarding the sale of any of the shares other than our agreement with the holders of common stock resulting from conversion of Series A convertible preferred shares. We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until either the date when their shares may be resold without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or all of their shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, whichever is earlier. No offer or sale of common stock under this prospectus may be made by such selling shareholders unless that selling shareholder has notified us, provided all required information to us and any necessary supplement to this prospectus has been filed or an amendment to the registration statement has become effective.

          The information in the following table reflects the most recent information furnished to us by each of the identified selling shareholders. The numbers contained in the table may change because of stock splits, stock dividends or similar events involving our common stock; as a result of anti-dilution provisions contained in the convertible notes, common shares resulting from conversion of preferred shares and warrants; or due to sales of shares of our common stock.

          Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table, none of the following has held any position, office or other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the past three years.

Represents the number of outstanding shares of common stock held by such selling shareholder and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and the conversion of notes held by such selling shareholder. For purposes of the foregoing table, we determined beneficial ownership in accordance with rules promulgated by the Commission and, therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In determining beneficial ownership, we disregarded contractual limitations on a selling shareholder’s right to convert or exercise convertible notes and warrants that limit the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such selling shareholder to 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          Any or all of our shareholders, including those who sell their shares after converting their notes and exercising their warrants, and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at prices prevailing in such market or as may be negotiated at the time of the sale. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

 

broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

17


 

 

a combination of any such methods of sale;

 

 

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

 

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

          The selling shareholders, and those who sell their stock after converting their notes and warrants into shares, will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus.

          Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders in negotiated amounts. If any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, they may receive fees from the purchaser. In the case of an agency transaction, a customary brokerage commission must be in compliance with National Association of Securities Dealers Rules (NASDR) Rule 2440. In the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown must be in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

          In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option, derivative securities or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus. Such broker-dealer or other financial institution may subsequently resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction. Any supplement and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the Commission to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of securities.

          The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Some selling shareholders assumed an obligation that in no event a broker-dealer can receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

          To our knowledge, there are currently no written or oral agreements, plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling shareholders, or those who sell their stock after converting their notes and warrants into shares, and any broker, dealer, agent or underwriter regarding the sale of the common stock by the selling shareholders, other than our agreement with the holders of common stock resulting from conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares. We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until either the date when their shares may be resold without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or all of their shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, whichever is earlier.

          In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, sales of shares offered hereby to the public in such states may be made only through broker-dealers who are registered or licensed in such states. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

          Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.

18


          We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders, and those who sell their stock after converting their notes and warrants into shares, against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will pay substantially all of the expenses incidental to the registration, offering and sale of the common stock to the public other than commissions, brokerage fees and stock transfer taxes applicable to the common stock sold by the selling shareholders, and those who sell their stock after converting their notes and warrants into shares.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

          Integral Vision’s authorized capital stock consists of 41,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, stated value $0.20 per share, and 400,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value.

Common Stock

          As of March 31, 2006, 29,491,409 shares of our common stock were outstanding and held by approximately 347 shareholders of record. There are approximately 76 securities dealers included in the number of record holders, who represent an unknown number of beneficial ownership positions. A significant portion of our common stock, approximately 25-35%, is held in either nominee name or street name brokerage accounts. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

          Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights in elections of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock will have the right to elect all of our directors and otherwise control the affairs of Integral Vision.

          Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends on a pro rata basis upon declaration of dividends by the Board of Directors, provided that required dividends, if any, on the preferred stock have been provided for or paid. Dividends are payable only out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Integral Vision, holders of our common stock will be entitled to a pro rata distribution of the assets of the Company, after payment of all amounts owed to our creditors, and subject to any preferential amount payable to holders of preferred stock, if any.

23


          Our Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, do not grant preemptive rights. The common stock may not be redeemed except upon our consent and the consent of the shareholders and the common stock is not subject to liability for further calls or to assessments by Integral Vision. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Securities Act and to Michigan law.

Preferred Stock

          We are authorized to issue 400,000 shares of preferred stock, of which there are no shares issued and outstanding. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, in any manner permitted by law, as determined from time to time by our board of directors, and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such shares adopted by our board of directors pursuant to authority vested in it. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shares in such series shall have voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and shall have such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, permitted by law, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such shares adopted by our board of directors. The number of shares of any such series so set forth in the resolution or resolutions may be increased (but not above the total number of authorized shares of preferred stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by further resolution or resolutions adopted by the board of directors. Any preferred stock so issued could dilute the voting power and equity of the holders of the common stock by, for example, reducing the amount of funds otherwise available for payment to holders of the common stock, either upon liquidation of our company or as dividends, restricting the payment of dividends to holders of common stock, and diluting the voting power of the holders of the common stock.

          One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved shares of capital stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the Company’s management. If, for example, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the Company’s best interest, such shares could be issued by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent Board of Directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

          On April 12, 2005, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold 7,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 3,500,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement to accredited investors. The aggregate purchase price for this transaction was $7,000,000. Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued is convertible into 1,000 shares of unregistered common stock. The warrants for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock are exercisable at $1.60 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

          The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D and under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a sale not involving a public offering. Upon obtaining shareholder approval at our annual meeting of shareholders on May 26, 2005 to, among other things, increase our company’s authorized common stock, the preferred shares automatically converted into 7,000,000 shares of our common stock on May 27, 2005.

          Until each holder owns less than 20% of the conversion shares, we must obtain the consent of holders of majority interests in the conversion shares before taking various actions, including reverse or forward stock splits and reclassification of our common stock. So long as any purchaser of preferred shares owns any of our securities, the Company may not engage in any financing involving a variable rate or “most favored nation” transactions. During the period of twelve months after the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective, the holders of conversion shares are entitled to an anti-dilution protection that reduces the conversion price to the lowest price at which such securities are sold to another purchaser during that period. In the event of a sale of our common stock or common stock

24


equivalents during such period at a price lower than the conversion price at which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically converted, the holders of conversion shares will be entitled to receive additional common stock as though such conversion price had been, at the time of the automatic conversion, equal to such lower price.

          We agreed to file with the Commission a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the conversion shares and shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part was filed in order to fulfill such agreement. We are required to make certain payments to the holders of the conversion shares and the warrants if the registration statement is unavailable for the resale of the securities.

          We used the net proceeds of the sale of preferred shares to reduce certain long term debt, repay principal and interest of outstanding notes and for financing working capital. The Company expects to use a portion of the proceeds to fund its growth plan and to better secure and deliver large orders, as well as offer units for demonstration and marketing purposes with larger Microdisplay and LCD OEMs which will increase expenditures beyond current levels. For more details on the use of the proceeds from the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, see Note C to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Warrants

          In connection with our issuance of notes during the period from March 29, 2001 through March 31, 2005, and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we have issued warrants exercisable in full or in part into our common stock at varying exercise prices. The warrants will expire at different dates based on the date of issuance, but not later than April 12, 2010. Holders of our warrants shall be deemed to have exercised all of their warrants into our common stock, for the purpose of including the resulting common stock on the registration statement which this prospectus is a part, and for sale in the offering.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

          The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock is Registrar and Transfer Company, Cranford, NJ.

Governing Law and Organizational Documents

          Shareholders’ rights and related matters are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and our Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and our Bylaws. Our Restated Articles of Incorporation may not be amended without the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting as a single voting group. Our Bylaws may be amended by either the affirmative vote of a majority of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, or by an affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then holding office.

          Chapter 7A of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) provides that business combinations between a Michigan corporation and a beneficial owner of 10% of more of the voting power of such corporation generally require the approval of 90% of the votes of each class of stock entitled to be cast, and not less than 2/3 of the votes of each class of stock entitled to be cast other than voting shares owned by such an affiliate or 10% owner. Such requirements will not apply if (i) the corporation’s board of directors approves the transaction prior to the time the 10% owner becomes such or (ii) the transaction satisfies certain fairness standards, certain other conditions are met and the 10% owner has been such for at least five years. Currently, we are not subject to Chapter 7A pursuant to a provision exempting a corporation which had a 10% beneficial owner on the effective date of the Act. Our Board may, by resolution and without a shareholder vote, cause us to become subject to Chapter 7A. However, we have no present intention to elect to become subject to Chapter 7A.

          Chapter 7B of the MBCA provides that “control shares” of a corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except as granted by the shareholders of the corporation. “Control shares” are shares which, when added to shares previously owned by a shareholder, increase such

25


shareholder’s ownership of voting stock to more than 20% but less than 33 1/3%, more than 33 1/3% but less than a majority, or more than a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation. A control share acquisition must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares entitled to vote excluding shares owned by the acquirer and certain officers and directors. However, no such approval is required for gifts or other transactions not involving consideration, or a merger to which the corporation is a party, or certain other transactions described in Chapter 7B.

          If a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws so provide before a control share acquisition has occurred, control shares acquired in a control share acquisition with respect to which no acquiring person statement has been filed may be redeemed at “fair value” by the corporation at any time during the period ending 60 days after the last control share acquisition. In addition, if, prior to a control share acquisition, a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws so provide, control shares may be redeemed at “fair value” after an acquiring person statement has been filed and after the meeting at which the voting rights of the control shares are submitted to shareholders if the control shares are not accorded full voting rights. Unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, in the event that control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority of all voting power of the corporation, the shareholders of the corporation, other than the acquiring person, have dissenters’ rights. “Fair value” means a value not less than the highest price paid per share by the acquiring person in the control share acquisition. Currently, we are not subject to Chapter 7B since our Bylaws contain a provision expressly with respect to control shares. Our Board may, by resolution and without a shareholder vote, cause us to amend our Bylaws and become subject to Chapter 7B. However, we have no present intention to elect to become subject to Chapter 7B.

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

          Warren, Cameron, Asciutto, & Blackmer, P.C. serve as our corporate counsel and J. Michael Warren is the president of the law firm. Around February 2004, when we were unable to pay their legal fees as they became due, and in order to obtain additional financing, we asked Warren Cameron to accept our Class 3 convertible notes in partial satisfaction of our debt. Warren Cameron received our convertible notes in the amount of $250,000 with the conversion price equal to $0.75 per share. The conversion price was set at a discount to the market at the date of issuance. In April 2005, in order to enable us to obtain additional financing, the notes were converted into our common stock pursuant to the terms of and at the same conversion price as all other Class 3 convertible notes. For more details, see the footnotes to the “Selling Shareholders” table, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
VIOLATIONS

          Our Bylaws provide that we may indemnify any of our directors and officers, former directors and officers, and the current and former directors or officers of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in which they are or were serving at our request, to the full extent of Michigan law, including against any and all expenses, including legal fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such directors or officers or former officers or directors in connection with such action, in which they, or any of them, are made parties or a party, by reason of being or having been directors or officers of us, or of such entity, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in our best interest, and had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful.

          With respect to actions or suits by us or in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been found to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of its duty to us unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the finding of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense as such court shall deem proper.

          Our Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that to the full extent allowed by Michigan law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for a breach of any duty owed to us or our shareholders. This provision does not limit or eliminate the liability of a

26


director, and we shall not indemnify such director, if the director is adjudged to have acted with gross negligence, engaged in willful misconduct, acted in bad faith, knowingly violated the law, breached the director’s duty of loyalty or received improper personal benefit.

          We have purchased insurance with respect to, among other things, the liabilities that may arise under the circumstances referred to above. Our directors and officers are also insured against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they are not indemnified by Integral Vision.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

          Integral Vision, Inc. is a Michigan corporation formed in 1978 (a predecessor company was incorporated in 1969). Our offices are located at 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan 48393 and our telephone number is 248-668-9230. We develop, manufacture and market flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. Our systems are used to inspect primarily microdisplays and small flat panel displays, though the technology is scalable to allow inspection of full screen displays and components. Our customers and potential customers are principally large companies with significant investment in the manufacture of displays. Nearly all of our sales originate in the United States, Asia, or Europe. Our products are generally sold as capital goods. Depending on the application, display inspection systems have an indefinite life and are more likely to require replacement due to possible technological obsolescence than from physical wear.

Overview

          We are a supplier of flat panel inspection systems used to ensure product quality during the manufacturing process. Our products primarily use machine vision to evaluate functional displays for cosmetic and functional defects, but can also provide electrical testing if required for a given application. Machine vision has become a necessity for manufacturers who need to continually improve production efficiency to meet the increasing demand for high quality products. Our inspection systems automatically inspect parts at a lower cycle time and with greater repeatability than is possible with human inspectors.

          The Company has several large companies as customers. These companies are working with new microdisplay technologies. Our success will be substantially dependent on whether these companies are able to begin high volume production of their emerging display technologies.

Products

          LCI Professional – Our LCI-Professional product is used for inspection of liquid crystal displays (LCD) as components or final assemblies. Applications include cell phones, car radios, pagers, electronic organizers and hand-held video games. Our display inspection systems are designed to detect two classes of defects: cosmetic and functional. Cosmetic defects do not affect the functionality of the display, but they cause user annoyance and reduce product value. Functional defects are flaws that cause the device to be inoperable or have a significant effect on functionality.

          SharpEye – Our SharpEye product provides flat panel display (FPD) inspection for reflective, emissive and transmissive display technologies. SharpEye is designed for the detection of functional and cosmetic defects in LCOS, OLED, MEMS, 3LCD/HTPS, LCD and other emerging display technologies. These technologies are applied to consumer products such as camcorders, rear projection computer monitors, digital still cameras, HDTV, projectors, video headsets and video telephones. The core

27


technology of SharpEye inspection algorithms is the ability to quantize data to the level of a single display pixel. SharpEye can be configured for production inspection or for display evaluation in a laboratory based on the equipment configuration selected.

          ChromaSee – Our ChromaSee product, which was introduced in 2003, provides luminance, color matching and defect inspections for FPD displays. Defect detection includes functional defects, such as failed pixels and icons, and cosmetic defects, such as scratches. ChromaSee integrates with production equipment to allow inline or offline testing. A configuration interface (Task Sequencer) uses a familiar “Tree View” representation of the inspection sequence flow. For deployment into production, the operator’s interface provides essential views of results, images and statistics for production floor personnel.

          Lifetime Tester – Our Lifetime Tester product, which was introduced in 2003, evaluates changes in display luminance, color and other performance characteristics over time. The Lifetime Tester facilitates the process of comparing different display manufacturing processes and formulas by evaluating large numbers of samples side by side to determine their life characteristics. This allows design and process engineers to efficiently evaluate the effectiveness of proposed design and process changes off line prior to implementation.

          IVSee – Our IVSee, introduced in 2005, provides FPD inspection for applications which still require manual handling. IVSee is designed for the detection of functional and cosmetic defects in LCOS, OLED, MEMS, 3LCD/HTPS, LCD and other emerging display technologies. IVSee is configured to be integrated into existing manual inspection stations allowing them to receive the benefits of computer aided optical inspection without the need to modify the manufacturing process to automate handling of the display. The operator’s interface provides essential views of results, images and statistics for production floor personnel.

Production and Suppliers

          Our production process consists principally of assembling standard electrical, electronic and optical components and hardware subassemblies purchased from suppliers into finished products. When proprietary circuit boards are needed, we generally contract for outside vendors to build the boards based on internal company designs.

We generally do not rely on a single source for parts and subassemblies, although certain components and subassemblies included in our products may be obtained only from a limited number of suppliers. We believe alternative sources or designs could be developed for any of the components used in our products, thereby mitigating any exposure to product interruption from shortages of parts or limited suppliers.

Intellectual Property

          We believe that the technology incorporated in our products gives us advantages over our competitors and prospective competitors. We attempt to protect our technology through a combination of patents, applied for patents, confidentiality agreements and trade secrets. We presently have 14 U.S. patents. There can be no assurance that we will have the resources to defend our patents or that patents we hold will be considered valid if challenged. In addition, it is possible that some patents will be rendered worthless as the result of technological obsolescence. For further information, see “Risk Factors”.

Marketing

          We generally market our vision products to end users, but we have had success integrating our products with OEMs in certain circumstances. Although sales are made worldwide, our strongest presence is maintained in the US, through company employees, and in Europe and Asia, through sales representatives.

Product Development

          The market for machine vision products is characterized by rapid and continuous technological development and product innovation. We believe that continued and timely development of

28


new products and enhancements to existing products is necessary to maintain our competitive position. Accordingly, we devote a significant portion of our personnel and financial resources to product development programs and seek to maintain close relationships with customers to remain responsive to their needs. Our net engineering and development costs amounted to $960,000, $909,000 and $663,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our current product development efforts are primarily directed to Flat Panel Display Inspection products.

Environmental Factors

          Our costs of complying with federal, state and local provisions regulating protection of the environment are not material.

Competition

          Competition for machine vision based microdisplay and small flat panel display inspection comes primarily from Westar Display Technologies, Inc.

Export Sales

          Sales outside of the United States accounted for 5%, 84% and 13% of our net sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We expect that such sales will continue to represent a significant percentage of our net sales. Most of our export billings are denominated in US dollars. On occasion other export billings are denominated in the currency of the customer’s country. See Note I to Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Part II – ITEM 8 for details of geographic area information.

Major Customers

          The nature of the Company’s product offerings may produce sales to one or a limited number of customers in excess of 10% of total consolidated net sales in any one year. It is possible that the specific customers reaching this threshold may change from year to year. Loss of any one of these customers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. For 2005, sales to Hewlett Packard and Texas Instruments represented 71% and 21% of consolidated net sales, respectively. Approximately $75,000 was due from one of these customers at December 31, 2005. For 2004, sales to Philips represented 80% of consolidated net sales. There were no amounts due from this customer at December 31, 2004. For 2003, sales to Intel Corporation, Owens Brockway and Toyo Corporation represented 63%, 14%, and 11% of consolidated net sales, respectively. There were no amounts due from these customers at December 31, 2003.

Backlog

As of December 31, 2005, we had an order backlog of approximately $367,000 compared to $518,000 at December 31, 2004. We expect to ship products representing this entire backlog in 2006.

Employees

          As of February 28, 2006, we had 21 permanent employees, compared to 16 at February 28, 2005 and 12 at February 28, 2004. None of our employees are represented by a labor union.

Properties

          On October 19, 2005, we entered into a lease agreement to lease a light industrial building containing approximately 14,000 square feet at 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan. The five year lease commenced on January 1, 2006. Our manufacturing, engineering and administrative functions are performed at this location.

29


Legal Proceedings

          We are not a party to any material legal proceeding, nor to the knowledge of management, are any legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business.

Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004

          Net revenues decreased $856,000 (55.5%) to $686,000 in 2005 from $1.5 million in 2004. Net revenue is reported net of sales commission expense of approximately $10,000 in 2005 compared to $19,000 in 2004. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of our flat panel display inspection product. Sales from our flat panel display inspection product line accounted for approximately $666,000 and $1.4 million of our net revenue in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our revenue from other applications was approximately $152,000 in 2004. There was no such revenue in 2005. Our revenue from software was approximately $16,000 and $33,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our revenue from service activities was approximately $4,000 in 2005. There was no such revenue in 2004.

          Direct costs of sales decreased $497,000 (44.6%) to $618,000 (approximately 90.1% of sales) in 2005 from $1.3 million (approximately 86.3% of sales) in 2004. This was primarily attributable to the lower sales volume.

          Marketing costs increased 102.7%, or $268,000, to $529,000 in 2005 compared to $261,000 in 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to additional staffing due to an anticipated increase in sales activity. Employee related costs in the marketing division were $203,000 higher in 2005 compared to 2004 levels. Advertising costs were $59,000 higher in 2005 compared to 2004 levels.

          General and administrative costs increased 4.7%, or $56,000, to $1.3 million in 2005 compared to $1.2 million in 2004. Legal fees in the general and administrative division were $95,000 lower in 2005 compared to 2004 levels. Consulting fees increased $73,000 primarily as a result of payments made to Maxco, Inc. for providing consulting services to us. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2004, Maxco did not charge for the providing of these services. Employee related costs in the general and administrative division were $57,000 higher in 2005 compared to 2004 levels. Equipment costs were $20,000 higher in 2005 compared to 2004.

          Engineering and development expenditures increased 5.6%, or $51,000, to $960,000 in 2005 compared to $909,000 in 2004. Employee related costs in the engineering and development division were $160,000 higher in 2005 compared to 2004 levels. This increase is primarily attributable to additional staffing due to an anticipated increase in sales activity. Other expenses were down $78,000. Outside services were $25,000 lower in 2005 compared to 2004 levels.

          Other income was $59,000 and $129,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. We received approximately $17,000 in royalties in 2005 compared to $61,000 in 2004.

          Interest expense decreased $293,000 to $143,000 in 2005 compared to $436,000 in 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to the repayment of or settlement by conversion into common stock, of Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Notes that occurred in the second quarter of 2005. For details, see Note C to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003

          Net revenues increased $901,000, or 141%, to $1.5 million in 2004 from $641,000 in 2003. Net revenue is reported net of sales commission expense of approximately $19,000 in 2004 compared to $11,000 in 2003. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of our flat panel display inspection

31


product. Sales from the flat panel display inspection product line accounted for approximately $1.4 million and $497,000 of our net revenue in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our revenue from other applications was approximately $152,000 and $85,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our revenue from software was approximately $33,000 and $43,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our revenue from service activities was approximately $18,000 in 2003. There was no such revenue in 2004.

          Direct costs of sales increased $726,000, or 120%, from $604,000, which was approximately 94.2% of sales, in 2003 to $1.3 million in 2004, which constitute approximately 86.3% of sales. This was primarily attributable to the higher sales volume. Management periodically performs an analysis of the net realizable value of capitalized patent costs.

          Marketing costs increased 17.0%, or $38,000, to $261,000 in 2004 compared to $223,000 in 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to additional staffing due to increased sales activity. Employee related costs in our marketing division were $54,000 higher in 2004 compared to 2003 levels. Advertising costs were $15,000 lower in 2004 compared to 2003 levels.

          General and administrative costs increased 49.0%, or $393,000, to $1.2 million in 2004 compared to $802,000 in 2003. This was primarily due to an increase in legal, shareholder relations, and professional fees totaling $183,000 in 2004. Employee related costs in the general and administrative division were $124,000 higher in 2004 compared to 2003 levels.

          Engineering and development expenditures increased 37.1%, or $246,000, to $909,000 in 2003 compared to $663,000 in 2003. Employee related costs in the engineering and development division were $130,000 higher in 2004 compared to 2003 levels. Approximately $109,000 of this variance was attributable to engineering work done due to increased sales in the third quarter.

          On September 9, 2002, DaTARIUS Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of global test equipment manufacturer DaTARIUS Technologies GmbH, purchased Integral Vision’s assets related to inspection systems for the optical disc industry, including the names “Automatic Inspection Systems” and “AID.” The sale included Integral Vision’s optical disc scanner products as well as its range of print and identification code products used to inspect the printing stage of disc manufacture. The consideration that we received for the technology consisted of a non-refundable $100,000 advanced minimum royalty payment in addition to future royalties. We received approximately $61,000 in royalties in 2004 and expects to receive additional royalties of approximately $30,000 in 2005. Additionally, we received $25,000 from the sale of equipment to DaTARIUS. We recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $112,000, which is included in gain on sale of assets in 2002, primarily attributable to the advanced minimum royalty payment received. The proceeds from the transaction were used primarily to fund current operations.

          Other income (expense) was $129,000 in 2004 of which approximately $61,000 was royalty income.

          Interest expense increased $66,000 to $436,000 in 2004 compared to $370,000 in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to the interest on Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Notes that were placed subsequent to September 30, 2003. For details, see Note C to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Operating activities for 2005 used cash of approximately $2.8 million primarily due to our loss from operations. Changes in working capital used cash of $245,000, which was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of $193,000.

          Our investing activities included primarily the purchase of approximately $104,000 of equipment in 2005 and $31,000 for legal and patent office fees for new patent applications.

          Our financing activities included net proceeds of $6.2 million from the issuance of Series A convertible preferred stock. Additionally, we received $1.9 million as a result of the exercise of Class 1

32


and Class 2 warrants. We also received $435,000 from the issuance of Class 2 Notes. We made payments of approximately $1.3 million and $1.8 million on our Class 1 and Class 2 Notes, respectively, and paid $106,000 of interest on our Class 3 Notes. We made payments of approximately $111,000 on other long term notes. We also received $5,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.

          On April 12, 2005, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold 7,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share, and as additional consideration under the Securities Purchase Agreement, issued common stock warrants for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock. Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into 1,000 shares of unregistered common stock upon the approval of an increase in our authorized shares of common stock at a meeting of the stockholders on May 26, 2005. The common stock warrants for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock are exercisable at $1.60 per share for a period of five years. The Company used the net proceeds of the Securities Purchase Agreement to reduce certain Company debt, and for working capital. The Company has repaid all of the outstanding principal and interest on the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes. The note holders then exercised their warrants attached to the notes for which the exercise price of the warrant was $1.00 or less. This resulted in the issuance of 6,195,014 shares of restricted common stock. The Class 3 note holders converted their notes for which the conversion price was $1.00 or less, resulting in the issuance of 1,269,757 shares of restricted common stock. The outstanding interest on the Class 3 notes was paid. Additionally, the Company has repaid other obligations totaling approximately $190,000.

          The Company expects to use a portion of the proceeds to fund its growth plan and to better secure and deliver large orders, as well as offer units for demonstration and marketing purposes with larger Microdisplay and LCD OEMs which will increase expenditures beyond current levels.

          The Company has sufficient remaining cash along with present sales levels to fund current operations through the first quarter of 2007. However, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving the necessary sales to attain profitability. The Company has several large companies as customers. These companies are working with new microdisplay technologies. Integral Vision’s success will be partly dependant on these large companies getting their emerging display technologies into high volume production and placing sales orders with the Company for inspection products to support that production.

          For further discussion regarding the Company’s obligations, see Note C – Long Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements.

33


Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

          The Company’s revenues and operating results have varied substantially from quarter to quarter and management believes these fluctuations may continue. Our reliance on large orders has contributed to the variability of the Company’s operating results. None of these variations are seasonal.

Impact of Inflation

          The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or its financial position. Amounts shown for property, plant and equipment and for costs and expenses reflect historical cost and do not necessarily represent replacement cost or charges to operations based on replacement cost. Our operations together with other sources are intended to provide funds to replace property, plant and equipment as necessary. Net income would be lower than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

          In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) will require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) offers alternative methods for determining the fair value. In April 2005, the Commission issued a new rule that allows companies to implement Statement No. 123(R) at the beginning of the next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. As a result, we will implement SFAS 123(R) in the reporting period starting January 1, 2006. While we expect that SFAS 123(R) will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, we have not completed our evaluation.

Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

          Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be the most important to an understanding of our financial statements, because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our assumptions and estimates are based on the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2005. Future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. These policies are also discussed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Prospectus.

          Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

          We account for certain product sales of our flat panel display inspection systems as multiple-element arrangements. If specific customer acceptance requirements are met, we recognize revenue for a portion of the total contract price due and billable upon shipment, with recognize the remainder when it becomes due, which is generally upon acceptance. We recognize all other product sales with customer acceptance provisions upon final customer acceptance. We recognize revenue from the sale of spare parts upon shipment. We recognize revenue from service contracts over the life of the contract. Revenue is reported net of sales commissions.

34


          Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventories are recorded net of allowances for unsalable or obsolete raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. We evaluate on a quarterly basis the status of our inventory to ensure the amount recorded in our financial statements reflects the lower of our cost or the value we expect to receive when we sell the inventory. This estimate is based on several factors, including the condition and salability of our inventory and the forecasted demand for the particular products incorporating these components. Based on current backlog and expected orders, we forecast the upcoming usage of current stock. We record reserves for obsolete and slow-moving parts ranging from 0% for active parts with sufficient forecasted demand up to 100% for excess parts with insufficient demand or obsolete parts. Amounts in work-in-process and finished goods inventory typically relate to firm orders and, therefore, are not subject to obsolescence risk.

          Impairment of Long-lived Assets. We review our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the cost of carrying the asset.

          Contingencies and Litigation. We periodically assess the probability of an adverse judgment resulting from current and threatened litigation. We accrue the cost of an adverse judgment if, in management’s estimation, an adverse settlement is probable and management can reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of such litigation. We have made no such accruals at December 31, 2005.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

          We are exposed to market risk stemming from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and prices of inventory purchased for assembly into finished products. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows. In the normal course of business, exposure to interest rates is managed by fixing the interest rates on our long-term debt whenever possible. We do not generally enter into long-term purchase contracts but instead purchases inventory to fill specific sales contracts thereby minimizing risks with respect to inventory price fluctuations.

          While our sales are generally denominated in US dollars, from time to time we may denominate sales in the following additional currencies:

 

 

v

Pound Sterling

v

Euros

v

Yen

          In management’s opinion, as the currencies of Western Europe and the UK are generally stable, there is no significant exposure to losses due to currency fluctuations. However, because the Yen has not been stable over the past several years, the Company does enter into forward sales contracts equal to the future amount of Yen to be received at the time the order is accepted. These hedging transactions are on an order by order basis and at no time are they speculative in nature. At December 31, 2005, we had no open positions and had no sales denominated in a foreign currency.

Controls and Procedures

          Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, in each case, within the time period specified by the Commission’s rules and regulations. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures

35


designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

          Changes in internal controls. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth quarter of the fiscal year that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Description of Property

          On October 19, 2005, we entered into a lease agreement to lease a light industrial building containing approximately 14,000 square feet at 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan. The five year lease commenced on January 1, 2006. Our manufacturing, engineering and administrative functions are performed at this location.

Investment Policies

          We do not have specific limitations on the percentage of our assets that may be invested in any one investment. There is no specific shareholder vote requirement regarding changes in this policy. Generally, we acquire assets primarily for operating purposes and not for capital gains or income per se.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

          Maxco, Inc., an 8% owner of the Company, provides 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.

          Certain of our officers, directors and shareholders holding 5% or greater interest in the Company were participants in the Company’s Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended. These parties have loaned money to the Company in return for promissory notes and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The exercise prices for the warrants were set by the Board of Directors based on the market price for the Company’s stock at the date of issuance. Certain Class 1 notes holders agreed to exchange their notes for Class 3 convertible notes, which had an extended maturity date and are convertible into the Company’s common stock. The conversion prices were set at a discount to the market at the date of issuance. Pursuant to the provisions of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement as amended, the exercise price of the warrants and the conversion price of the notes have been adjusted to $1.00 due to the recent sale of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The terms of the above-referenced transactions with our officers, directors and principal shareholders are the same as the other participants in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, and the Company believes that they are as favorable as could be obtained from outside sources.

          As of the date of this prospectus, except for J. N. Hunter and John R. Kiely, III, all of our officers, directors and principal shareholders holding notes and warrants pursuant to the Note and Warrant

36


Purchase Agreement have converted and exercised their securities into our common stock. Further information about these shareholders can be found in the “Selling Shareholders” section of this prospectus.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

          Our common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol INVI. As of March 31, 2006, there were approximately 2,100 stockholders of the Company including individual participants in security position listings. There are approximately 76 securities dealers included in the number of record holders, who represent an unknown number of beneficial ownership positions.

          Information on the current quotes on our common stock are available at the OTCBB’s website, www.otcbb.com and most financial information portals, including such as that provided at http://finance.yahoo.com or http://quote.bloomberg.com. We will continue to provide information through filings with the Commission as required for continued listing on the OTCBB. These filings can be found at the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

          The market for securities of small market-capitalization companies has been highly volatile in recent years, often for reasons unrelated to a company’s results of operations. We believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in financial results, failure of new products to develop as expected, sales of common stock by existing shareholders, and substantial product orders may contribute to the volatility of the price of our common stock. General economic trends such as recessionary cycles and changing interest rates may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

          We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock during any period. We expect to retain earnings, if any, to finance the expansion and development of business.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

          Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky. Messrs. Coon and Shunsky are officers of Integral Vision. Mr. Coon is also an officer and director of Maxco, Inc., is paid by Maxco, Inc. and receive no compensation from us.

          Overview and Philosophy. The committee is responsible for developing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to our 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 our other executive officers.

          The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

37


 

 

 

 

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 making payout dependent upon corporate performance and offering incentives in the form 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. Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of base salary, long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options, and various benefits, including medical and deferred compensation plans, generally available to our employees.

          Base Salary. Base salary levels for our 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 our circumstances, base salary levels for certain of our executive officers were unchanged from the prior year.

          Stock Option Program. The stock option program is our 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 our common stock.

          In May 2004 a stock option plan allowing the issuance of options on up to 1,000,000 shares of Integral Vision common stock was approved by our 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 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. Generally, stock options are granted at an option price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, vest over one year, have ten-year terms and can have other exercise restrictions established by the committee.

          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.

          Deferred Compensation. Effective July 1, 1986, we 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. We have agreed to make a matching contribution of 20% of the employees’ contributions of up to 6% of their compensation. In addition, we may make a profit sharing contribution at the discretion of the Board. All of our full time employees 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. We provide medical benefits to the executive officers that are generally available to our other employees. In addition, executive officers may be provided with other benefits, such as life insurance and automobiles. The amount of perquisites, as determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission relating to executive compensation, did not exceed 10% of salary for any executive officer for fiscal 2004.

          Summary Compensation Table. The following table sets forth the cash and non-cash compensation for each of the last three fiscal years awarded to or earned by our Chief Executive Officer and our four other most highly compensated executive officers.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Integral Vision, Inc.
Wixom, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Integral Vision, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also include the financial statement schedule for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, as listed in the accompanying index at item 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Integral Vision, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the schedule have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note M to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is sustaining recurring losses from operations and is having difficulties in achieving the necessary sales to attain profitability. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note M. The consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Integral Vision, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

 

Note A - Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

 

Integral Vision, Inc. (or the “Company”) develops, manufactures, and markets flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. The Company primarily inspects Microdisplays and small flat panel displays, though the technology used is scalable to allow inspection of full screen displays and components. Integral Vision’s customers and potential customers are primarily large companies with significant investment in the manufacture of displays. Nearly all of the Company’s sales originate in the United States, Asia, or Europe. The Company’s products are generally sold as capital goods. Depending on the application, display inspection systems have an indefinite life and are more likely to require replacement due to possible technological obsolescence than from physical wear.

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary: Integral Vision LTD, United Kingdom (dissolved as of February 1, 2005). Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Translation of Foreign Currencies

 

 

The consolidated financial statements of Integral Vision LTD were translated into United States dollar equivalents at exchange rates as follows: balance sheet accounts at year-end rates; income statement accounts at average exchange rates for the year. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in operating results and are not significant.

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

 

Trade accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from equipment manufacturers and end-users in North America, Asia and Europe. The Company maintains an allowance for the inability of our customers to make required payments. These estimates are based on historical data, the length of time the receivables are past due and other known factors.

 

 

Major Customers

 

 

The nature of the Company’s product offerings may produce sales to one or a small number of customers in excess of 10% of total net sales in any one year. It is possible that the specific customers reaching this threshold may change from year to year. Loss of any one of these customers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. For 2005, sales to two customers represented 21% and 71% of consolidated net sales, respectively. Approximately $75,000 was due from one of these customers at December 31, 2005. For 2004, sales to one customer represented 80% of consolidated net sales. There were no amounts due from this customer at December 31, 2004. For 2003, sales to three certain customers represented 63%, 14%, and 11% of consolidated net sales, respectively.

F-6


 

 

Inventories

 

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Cost is computed using currently adjusted standards which approximates actual costs on a FIFO basis. The Company assesses the recoverability of all inventory to determine whether adjustments for impairment are required. At December 31, inventories consisted of the following amounts (net of obsolescence reserves of $97,000 in 2005 and $354,000 in 2004):

Management periodically performs an analysis of the Company’s inventory to determine if its cost exceeds estimated net realizable value. Over the last several years, given the market conditions and the direction of the Company, management discontinued certain product lines and attempted to liquidate the remaining inventory related to those product lines.

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

 

Property and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

 

 

 

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings-40 years, other property and equipment-3 to 10 years).

 

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

 

 

Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs

 

 

Computer software development costs are capitalized after the establishment of technological feasibility of the related technology. These costs are amortized following general release of products based on current and estimated future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product (not to exceed 5 years). Management continually reviews the net realizable value of capitalized software costs. At the time that a determination is made that capitalized software amounts exceed the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized, any amounts in excess of the estimated realizable amounts are written off.

 

 

 

No software development costs have been capitalized in the periods presented. Amortization of the costs capitalized prior to 2003 amounted to $113,000, $172,000, and $193,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. These costs were primarily made up of payroll, fringe benefits, and other direct expenses such as facilities allocation. The software amortized over the period is the Company’s microdisplay inspection software toolbox including vision processing algorithms and the Company’s patented sequence development and execution software. These software components are used in the products sold by the Company. Fully amortized software development costs of $6.9 million were written off in 2005.

F-7


 

 

Patents

 

 

Total patent costs incurred and capitalized by the Company were $30,000, $4,000, and $2,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of the patents amounted to $18,000, $30,000, and $46,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (not to exceed 5 years).

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”) Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

The Company accounts for certain product sales of its flat panel display inspection systems as multiple-element arrangements. If specific customer acceptance requirements are met, the Company recognizes revenue for a portion of the total contract price due and billable upon shipment, with the remainder recognized when it becomes due (generally upon acceptance). The Company recognizes all other product sales with customer acceptance provisions upon final customer acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of spare parts upon shipment. Revenue from service contracts is recognized over the life of the contract. Revenue is reported net of sales commissions.

 

 

Concentrations of Credit and Other Risk

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s customers are located in Asia, primarily Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, and in Europe. Therefore, the Company’s sales to these countries may be adversely affected by the overall health of these economies, including the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations and political risks. The Company generally does not require collateral for most of its trade accounts receivable. For sales to some of its customers in certain geographic regions, the Company requires letters of credit. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is invoiced in U.S. dollars. For 2005, sales to two of the Company’s customers represented 92% of the Company’s total net revenue. The Company believes its credit evaluation and monitoring mitigates its credit risk.

 

 

Advertising

 

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $56,000, $0, and $13,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FAS 109”), which requires the use of the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for net deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or future deductibility is uncertain. All deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance.

F-8


 

 

Fair Value Disclosure

 

 

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The fair value of the long-term financial instruments is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis and the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of arrangements.

 

 

Common Stock Options

 

 

The Company continues to follow APB No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company has elected to adopt only the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to September 30, 1995 under the fair value method of SFAS 123 (see Note H below).

 

 

Reclassifications

 

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior periods’ presentations to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

 

Contingencies and Litigation

 

 

The Company makes an assessment of the probability of an adverse judgment resulting from current and threatened litigation. The Company accrues the cost of an adverse judgment if, in management’s estimation, an adverse settlement is probable and management can reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of such litigation. The Company has made no such accruals at December 31, 2005.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) will require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) offers alternative methods for determining the fair value. In April 2005, the SEC issued a new rule that allows companies to implement Statement No. 123(R) at the beginning of the next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Company will implement SFAS 123(R) in the reporting period starting January 1, 2006. While management expects that SFAS 123(R) will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, management has not completed its evaluation.

 

 

Note B – Sale of Welding Controls Division

 

 

The Company sold the assets of its Welding Controls division in 1999. The buyer assumed a liability to Square D in the amount of $1.8 million in accordance with the purchase agreement. This liability resulted from the settlement of patent litigation in 1994. The settlement required payments of $300,000 per year for ten years. In the event the buyer fails to make the required payments, Integral Vision may be obligated for those amounts due. As of December 31, 2005, no notifications have been made that the Company is obligated for any payments not made and management believes this obligation has been satisfied.

 

 

Note C - Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

F-9


 

 

 

On April 12, 2005, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 7,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share, and as additional consideration under the Securities Purchase Agreement, issued Common Stock Warrants for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock. Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into 1,000 shares of unregistered common stock upon the approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of common stock at a meeting of the stockholders on May 26, 2005. The Common Stock Warrants for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock are exercisable at $1.60 per share for a period of five years. The Company used the net proceeds of the Securities Purchase Agreement to reduce certain Company debt, and for working capital. The Company has repaid all of the outstanding principal and interest on the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes. The note holders then exercised their warrants attached to the notes for which the exercise price of the warrant was $1.00 or less. This resulted in the issuance of 6,195,014 shares of restricted common stock. The Class 3 note holders converted their notes for which the conversion price was $1.00 or less, resulting in the issuance of 1,269,757 shares of restricted common stock. The outstanding interest on the Class 3 notes was paid. Additionally, the Company has repaid other obligations totaling approximately $190,000.

 

 

 

Long term debt remaining at December 31, 2005 consists of $378,000 of convertible Class 3 Notes at a conversion price of $1.00. Interest on these Notes is paid semi-annually at a stated rate of 8.0%. The Class 3 Notes mature in April 2008.

The Company expects to use a portion of the proceeds to fund its growth plan and to better secure and deliver large orders, as well as offer units for demonstration and marketing purposes with larger Microdisplay and LCD OEMs which will increase expenditures beyond current levels.

 

 

 

Maxco, Inc. provides 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.

Interest paid in 2005 was approximately $473,000 compared to interest expensed of $143,000. The $330,000 difference primarily represents amounts paid for interest on the Notes that was accrued as of December 31, 2004. Interest paid in 2004 was approximately $162,000 compared to interest expensed of $436,000. The $274,000 difference primarily represents amounts accrued for interest on the Notes and the amount of discount on the debentures amortized in 2004. Interest paid in 2003 was approximately $16,000 compared to interest expensed of $370,000. The $354,000 difference primarily represents amounts accrued for interest on the Notes and the amount of discount on the debentures amortized in 2003.

 

 

Note D - Income Taxes

 

 

 

The Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company continually reviews realizability of deferred tax assets and recognizes these benefits only as reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards approximating $42.0 million (expiring: $6.9 million in 2010, $3.9 million in 2011, $3.8 million in 2012, $2.3 million in 2018, $6.6 million in 2020, $1.9 million in 2021, $5.7 million in 2022, $5.5 million in 2023, $2.7 million in 2024, and $2.7 million in 2025) for federal income tax purposes available to reduce taxable income of future periods and unused investment, alternative minimum tax, and research and development tax credits approximating $331,000. Additionally, the Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards approximating $3.8 million that do not expire. For financial reporting purposes, the net operating losses and credits have been offset against net deferred tax liabilities based upon their expected amortization during the loss carryforward period. The remaining valuation allowance is necessary due to the uncertainty of future income estimates. The valuation allowance increased $915,000 in 2005, $815,000 in 2004, and $2.0 million in 2003.

 

 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31 are as follows:

Note F - Employee Savings Plan

 

 

 

The Company has an Employee Savings Plan covering substantially all United States’ employees. The Company contributes $.20 to the Plan for every dollar contributed by the employees up to 6% of their compensation. The Plan also provides for discretionary contributions by the Company as determined annually by the Board of Directors. Company contributions charged to operations under the Plan were $10,000, $8,000, and $6,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

 

Note G – Lease Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

 

The Company uses equipment and office space under operating lease agreements requiring rental payments approximating $103,000 in 2006, $104,000 in 2007, $104,000 in 2008, $102,000 in 2009, and $103,000 in 2010. Included in the above numbers is the rent to be paid as a result of the lease agreement entered into on October 19, 2005 in connection with the Company’s relocation to its new Wixom facilities. Rent expense charged to operations approximated $85,000, $78,000, and $70,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

 

Note H - Stock Options, Warrants, and Preferred Stock

 

 

 

The Company continues to follow APB No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company has elected to adopt only the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.”

 

 

 

Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share is required by SFAS 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to September 30, 1995 under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock option plan has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such Company options. These proforma results reflect stock options granted only in 1995 through 2005 and may

F-13



 

 

 

not be comparable with the results of applying the fair market value methodology to all stock options granted prior to the initial adoption of SFAS 123.

 

 

 

The estimated fair value per share of the options granted in 2005 was $1.27. The estimated fair value per share of the options granted in May 2004 and August 2004 was $1.58 and $0.95, respectively. The estimated fair value per share of the options granted in 2003 was $0.13.

 

 

 

In May 2003, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to grant 140,000 qualified stock options for the purchase of common shares with an exercise price equal to the market price at the close of trading on the grant date, $.15 per share. An additional 40,000 options were granted in May 2003 with an exercise price equal to the market price at the close of trading on the grant date, $.16 per share. In order to facilitate this grant, Mr. Charles Drake, the Company’s Chairman, agreed to forfeit options on 156,000 shares so that they could be distributed to other key personnel.

 

 

 

In May 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to grant 124,000 qualified stock options for the purchase of common shares with an exercise price equal to the market price at the close of trading on the grant date, $1.71 per share. In August 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to grant 100,000 qualified stock options for the purchase of common shares with an exercise price equal to the market price at the close of trading on the grant date, $1.03 per share.

 

 

 

In June 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to grant 160,000 qualified stock options for the purchase of common shares with an exercise price of $1.40 per share, which was the market price at the close of trading on the grant date.

 

 

 

At December 31, 2005, there were options outstanding to purchase 1.1 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $.10 to $6.25 per share.

Management has focused its development, sales and marketing efforts on the Company’s inspection systems for the flat panel display (FPD) industry. Industry sources indicate that this market will be substantial once fully developed. The Company has developed inspection solutions for the leading technologies used in the FPD industry including liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), organic light emitting diodes (OLED and PolyOLED), electroluminescent (EL), high temperature polysilicon (HTPS), low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), liquid crystal display (LCD), and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

 

 

 

Management periodically performs an analysis of the net realizable value of capitalized software costs.

Note M – Going Concern Matters

 

 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations in 2005, 2004, and 2003 of $2.7 million, $2.4 million, and $1.9 million,

respectively. The continuing losses raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

The Company is currently working with a number of large customers who are evaluating the Company’s products for use in their manufacture of products using new microdisplay technologies. The Company expects that additional sales orders will be placed by these customers in the second half of 2006 provided that markets for these products continue to grow and the customers continue to have interest in the Company’s technology-assisted inspection systems. Ultimately, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on these large companies getting their emerging display technology products into high volume production and placing sales orders with the Company for inspection products to support that production.

 

 

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
