The Board of Directors has approved a $1.60 strike price for the warrants. The Notes will expire July 31, 2007. For further information on Class 2 Notes see Note-C to the financial statements.
Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in 1978. We develop, manufacture and market flat panel display inspection systems to ensure product quality in the display manufacturing process. We primarily inspect microdisplays and small flat panel displays, though the technology used is scalable to allow inspection of full screen displays and components. Our products primarily use machine vision to evaluate operating displays for cosmetic and functional defects, but can also provide electrical testing if required for a given application. Our customers and potential customers are primarily 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.
Automated inspection has become a necessity for manufacturers who need to continually improve production efficiency to meet the increasing demand for high quality products. Our automatic inspection systems can inspect parts at a lower cycle time and with greater repeatability than is possible with human inspectors. While we have several large companies as customers, these customers are working with new microdisplay technologies. Our success will be substantially dependant on these customers getting their emerging display technologies into high volume production.
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 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.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Net revenues increased $247,000 (357.9%) to $316,000 in the first quarter of 2007 from $69,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase of $301,000 in revenue from sales of our flat panel display inspection products in the first quarter of 2007 compared to sales from that product line in the comparable 2006 period. Conversely, the first quarter of 2006 included $54,000 of revenue from product development agreements; there were no such revenues in 2007.
Costs of sales increased $140,000 (115.7%) to $261,000 (82.6% of sales) in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $121,000 (175% of sales) in the first quarter of 2006. This was primarily due to an increase of $202,000 in costs as a result of the higher sales of flat panel display inspection products in the 2007 period. Conversely, the first quarter of 2006 included $53,000 in costs related to product development agreements while there were no such costs in 2007.
Marketing costs increased $24,000 (19.2%) to $149,000 in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $125,000 in the first quarter of 2006. This was attributable to increased staffing and related costs.
General and administrative costs decreased $31,000 (8.9%) to $318,000 in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $349,000 in the first quarter of 2006. General and administrative costs of $8,000 were allocated to inventory for product development agreements in 2007 while costs of $9,000 were allocated to cost of sales product development agreements for 2006. (For more information on the allocation of certain general and administrative costs to inventory and cost of goods sold see Note B to the financial statements.) Without this allocation, general and administrative costs would have decreased $32,000. Expense allocated to G&A for amortization of share based compensation as required by SFAS 123R for 2007 was approximately $6,000 and for 2006 was approximately $14,000.
Engineering and development expenditures increased $18,000 (6.0%) to $316,000 in 2007 compared to $298,000 in 2006.Engineering costs of $20,000 were allocated to inventory for product development agreements in 2007 while costs of $39,000 were allocated to costs of sales product development agreements for 2006. (For more information on the allocation of certain engineering cost to inventory and cost of goods sold see Note B to the financial statements.) Without this allocation, engineering costs would have been consistent at $336,000 for 2007 and $337,000 for 2006. Expense allocated to engineering and development for amortization of share based compensation as required by SFAS 123R for 2007 was approximately $13,000 and for 2006 was approximately $29,000.
Other income was comparable to the prior year three month period.
17
Interest expense increased $17,000 to $24,000 in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $7,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to the issuance of additional Class 2 Notes in the fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007. For more information on these Notes refer to Note C of the financial statement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities for the first quarter of 2007 used cash of approximately $762,000 primarily due to our loss from operations of $747,000.
Our investing activities included the purchase of approximately $32,000 of equipment and $1,000 for patents in the first quarter of 2007.
Our financing activities included proceeds of $835,000 from the issuance of Class 2 Notes. We paid $61,000 of principal on Class 2 Notes this quarter. We paid $15,000 of interest on Class 3 Notes.
Long-term debt remaining at March 31, 2007 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 Board of Directors at its February 28, 2007 meeting, authorized the issuance of up to $2,000,000 of Class 2 Notes. Management has made arrangements to issue up to $1,500,000 of Class 2 Notes under the terms of the our existing Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended. The Class 2 Notes are working capital notes and are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and intellectual property. The purchasers of Class 2 Notes receive 10% interest and the option to receive either warrants for the purchase of our common stock when the Note is repaid or an additional 2% interest. Class 2 Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock for each $1 in value of the Class 2 Note multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Class 2 Note is outstanding and the denominator of which is 365, at a specific price which shall be approximately 150% of the recent fair value of our common stock as agreed by the parties as of the date of issuance of the corresponding Class 2 Note or such other price as the Board of Directors shall determine is appropriate based on the circumstances at the time. The Board of Directors has approved a $1.60 strike price for the warrants. The Notes will mature July 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2007 we have issued $1,185,000 of the $1,500,000 of Class 2 Notes, primarily to related parties, and $1,124,000 remains outstanding. Management anticipates issuing the balance of these Notes during the second quarter of 2007. As of March 31, 2007, the noteholders have earned 186,745 warrants, none of which are issued. Our present cash position requires us to secure additional funding for the immediate future as well as funding to provide working capital for anticipated orders. Management expects to refinance these Notes as part of its plan to raise additional capital in the second or third quarter of 2007 to fund operations through at least the second quarter of 2008 and provide working capital for anticipated orders.
We also had an estimated $220,000 owed to a certain regulatory agency as of March 31, 2007.
Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management 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 period. The accounting policies discussed below are considered by management 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 were based on the facts and circumstances known at March 31, 2007, future events rarely develop exactly as forecast,
18
and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. These policies are also described in Note B of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Form 10-QSB.
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 its 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 the remainder recognized when it becomes due (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. Revenue from service contracts is recognized over the life of the contract. Revenue is reported net of sales commissions.
Revenue is also derived through business agreements for product development. We conduct specified product development projects related to one of its principal technology specializations for an agreed-upon fee. Typically the agreements require “best efforts” with no specified performance criteria. Revenue from product development agreements, where there are no specific performance terms, are recognized in amounts equal to the amounts expended on the programs. Generally, the agreed-upon fees for product development agreements contemplate reimbursing us, after the agreed-upon cost share, if any, for costs considered associated with project activities including expenses for direct product development and research, operating, general and administrative expenses and depreciation. Accordingly, expenses related to product development agreements are recorded as cost of revenues from product development agreements.
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 the inventory is sold. This estimate is based on several factors, including the condition and salability of the 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 carrying amount of the asset.
Share Based Compensation
19
We account for our stock based compensation plans according to the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight line basis over the requisite service periods. The expected life of all awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined using historical and other information available at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock, and other factors. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures.
Contingencies and Litigation
We make an assessment of 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 March 31, 2007.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
| a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures - Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our 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 SEC’s rules and regulations. |
| | |
| b) | Changes in internal controls - There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weakness, and therefore no corrective actions were taken. |
