PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Company proposes to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of its no par value, non-cumulative, common stock from 50,000,000 to 70,000,000. There are no preemptive rights to the Company’s common stock. As of March 24, 2008, the Company had 29,511,409 common shares outstanding.
A primary reason for the proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock is to allow the company to raise additional equity funding for continuing operations and anticipated growth. If the Company does so, existing security holders will own a smaller percentage of the Company.
PROPOSED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Integral Vision Inc. (Company) has established the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (Plan). A copy of the Plan is included herein by reference to the Company’s Form 10KSB exhibit 14.1 filed March 31, 2008.
The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the Integral Vision, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and is requesting that the shareholders of the Company ratify the Board of Directors approval of the Plan.

The Plan permits the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors to grant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Shares.
Summary of the Plan
General - The purpose of the Plan is to further the growth, development, and financial success of the Company by providing for stock-based incentives to Participants that align their interests more closely with those of the Company's shareholders. The Company also believes that the Plan will assist it in its efforts to attract and retain quality employees, directors, consultants, and advisors.
Administration - The compensation committee of the Board will administer the Plan. The committee will consist of two or more non-employee directors (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3) who are “outside directors” for the purposes of Code Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended and the regulations there under.
Eligibility -The Committee shall, from time to time, designate those persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan from among Employees, Directors, and Advisors. The Committee may grant more than one Award to any Participant.
Shares Subject to Awards -The only shares subject to Awards shall be the Company's authorized, but un-issued, or reacquired Shares.

| (a) | 4,828,000 shares, plus |
|
| (b) | Any Shares covered by an Award under the Plan or option under the Prior Plan that are forfeited or remain un-purchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the Award or option under the Prior Plan, plus |
