The following table illustrates the changes in our warranty liability for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:
The accompanying 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 financial statements, we incurred losses in the first quarters of 2008 and 2007 or $846,000 and $747,000 respectively. Additionally, we incurred losses from operations in the years of 2007 and 2006 of $3.0 million each year. The continuing losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue operating as a going concern.
We are currently working with a number of large customers who are using our technologies to evaluate their microdisplay production or are evaluating our technology for the inspection of LCD displays and components. We expect that additional sales orders will be placed by these customers throughout 2008 and into 2009 provided that markets for these products continue to grow and the customers continue to have interest in our technology-assisted inspection systems. Ultimately, our 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 us for inspection products to support that production. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing sales orders sufficient to continue operating as a going concern.
From November 2006 through May 14, 2008, we have used $3,664,000 of Class 2 Notes to fund operations. All of these Notes mature May 31, 2008. We need to raise additional funds in the second quarter of 2008 in order to sustain operations beyond that time frame. We expect that we will need to raise a minimum of $1.6 million to fund operations through the second quarter of 2009. We are in ongoing discussions with the existing Class 2 Note holders and expect the debt will be restructured and the maturity date will be extended as part of our plan to raise additional capital in the second quarter of 2008 to fund operations through at least the second quarter of 2009 and provide working capital for anticipated orders, however there can be no assurance that will happen. Additionally, terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement provide antidilution protection for the 3,500,000 warrants outstanding and grant a right to holders of the 6,200,000 outstanding shares of stock purchased at $1.00 per share under the agreement to swap the stock they purchased for new securities being offered in the future by the Company if the terms of the new securities are more favorable to the holders than the terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement. The antidilution protection on the warrants sets the conversion price of the warrant at the price of the new securities being issued and increases the total number of shares available under the warrant such that the total value of the warrant is kept constant. These terms would result in significant dilution if securities were sold at current market prices. Though there can be no assurance they will be successful, management expects to negotiate these terms as part of its plan to raise additional capital in the second and third quarters of 2008.
For further information regarding our obligations, see Note C – Long Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements and Note I – Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note I – Subsequent Events
On April 3, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a plan to offer key employees the opportunity to surrender 128,000 options in exchange for replacement options effective April 3, 2008. The replacement options “cliff vest” 50% after 1 year and the balance after 2 years. The program received 100% participation. The exchange resulted in an expense of $13,193 which will be recognized ratably as compensation expense over the vesting period from April 3, 2008 to April 3, 2010.
In April, we sold an additional $200,000 of Class 2 Notes, bringing the aggregate amount of outstanding Class 2 and Class 3 Notes to $4,042,000.
The maturity dates of the outstanding Class 2 Notes were extended on various dates so that all are presently due on May 31, 2008. $5,000 of the $378,000 of Class 3 Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2008 was not extended and was paid on its maturity date of April 30, 2008. The maturity dates of the remaining $373,000 of outstanding Class 3 Notes were extended on various dates such that all are presently due May 31, 2008.
On May 1, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted options on 97,000 shares to certain key employees. The options vest in 1 year and resulted in an expense of $15,037 which will be recognized ratably as compensation expense over the vesting period from May 1, 2008 to May 1, 2009.
On May 14, 2008, the shareholders increased the authorized outstanding shares from 50,000,000 to 70,000,000.
On May 14, 2008 the shareholders approved the 2008 Integral Vision, Inc. Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing a means by which the Company can grant equity-based incentives to eligible employees of the Company or any Subsidiary as well as non-employee directors, consultants, or advisors who are in a position to contribute materially to the Company’s success (“Participants”). 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. The maximum number of shares cumulatively available is 4,828,000 plus (i) any shares that are forfeited or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the awards from the Plan or options from the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan and (ii) any shares exchanged as full or partial payment for the exercise price of any award under the plan.

Commission and future events or circumstances could differ significantly from the forward-looking statements included herein. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Overview
Integral Vision, Inc., a Michigan corporation (or 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.
Products
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 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.
LumenEye –Our LumenEye product provides an “out of the box” solution designed for a low skill level user to setup and acquire images from an FPD panel. It is targeted at manufacturers of FPD products who need to inspect for inherent Image Retention (Image Sticking) defects in their displays prior to shipment. The software provided with LumenEye will perform an evaluation of the panel based on the acquired images to VESA 305-2 specification. Integral Vision can also provide the customer unique Image Retention analysis as part of its software offering. Custom panel evaluation software is also available to meet the FPD manufacturer customer test pattern requirements.
IVSee – Our IVSee 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.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Net revenues decreased $307,000 (97.2%) to $9,000 in the first quarter of 2008 from $316,000 in the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in net revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease of $306,000 in revenue from sales of our flat panel display inspection products in the first quarter of 2008.
In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we shipped approximately $89,000 of flat panel display inspection products which was not recognized in the period’s revenue because final acceptance had not been received from the customer.
Costs of sales decreased $214,000 (82%) to $47,000 (522% of sales) in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $261,000 (82.6% of sales) in the first quarter of 2007. This was primarily due to a decrease in material costs of $194,000 as a result of the lower sales of flat panel display inspection products in the 2008 period.
Marketing costs remained essentially constant at $148,000 in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $149,000 in the first quarter of 2007.
General and administrative costs increased $14,000 (4.4%) to $332,000 in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $318,000 in the first quarter of 2007. We were not required to allocate any general and administrative costs to inventory or cost of goods sold for product development agreements in the first quarter of 2008. We did allocate $8,000 of general and administrative costs to inventory for product development agreements for the first quarter of 2007. (For more information on the allocation of certain general and administrative costs to cost of goods sold, see Note B to the condensed financial statements.) Without this allocation, general and administrative costs would have been $326,000 for 2007. Expense allocated to G&A for amortization of share based compensation as required for SFAS 123R for 2008 was approximately $10,000 for the first quarter of 2008 and $6,000 for the first quarter of 2007.
Engineering and development expenditures decreased $84,000 (26.6%) to $232,000 in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $316,000 in the first quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2007, $20,000 of engineering cost was allocated to inventory for product development agreements. We were not required to allocate any engineering and development costs for the first quarter of 2008. (For more information on the allocation of certain engineering costs to cost of goods sold, see Note B to the financial statements.) Without this allocation, gross engineering costs would have decreased by $104,000 (32.9%) over the first quarter of 2007. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in staffing and related costs and outside services.
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased by $7,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily as result of changes in the gains and loss on currency conversions.
Interest expense increased $70,000 to $94,000 in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $24,000 in the first quarter of 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to the issuance of Class 2 Notes through the first quarter of 2008.
19
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities for the first quarter of 2008 used cash of approximately $252,000 primarily due to our loss from operations of $846,000 and increase in inventory of 178,000 which was offset by an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $654,000 and an increase in deferred revenue of $89,000. Our investing activities included $2,000 for legal and patent office fees.
Our financing activities included net proceeds of $500,000 from the issuance of Class 2 Notesand accrual of $26,000 for legal fees associated with our debt.
We paid $15,000 of interest in the first quarter of 2008 on Class 3 Notes.
Management has made arrangements to issue up to $5,622,000 of Class 2 Notes under the terms of the Company’s 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 the Company’s stock 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. The Board of Directors has approved a $1.60 strike price for the warrants. The Notes will mature May 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had issued $3,64,000 of Class 2 Notes, primarily purchased by related parties. Management anticipates issuing the balance of these notes during the first quarter of 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the note holders have earned 2,513,681 warrants, 904,530 of which are issued. The Company’s present cash position requires us to secure additional funding for the immediate future as well as funding to provide working capital for anticipated orders. See Note I – Subsequent Events for recent activity associated with Class 2 Notes. Management expects to refinance these notes as part of our plan to raise additional capital in the second or third quarter of 2008 to fund operations through at least the second quarter of 2009 and provide working capital for anticipated orders.
Terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement provide antidilution protection for the 3,500,000 warrants outstanding and grant a right to holders of the 6,200,0000 outstanding shares of stock purchased at $1.00 per share under the agreement to swap the stock they purchased for new securities being offered in the future by the Company if the terms of the new securities are more favorable to the holders than the terms of the 2005 Securities Purchase Agreement. The antidilution protection on the warrants sets the conversion price of the warrant at the price of the new securities being issued and increases the total number of shares available under the warrant such that the total value of the warrant is kept constant. These terms would result in significant dilution if securities were sold at current market prices. Though there can be no assurance they will be successful, management expects to negotiate these terms as part of our plan to raise additional capital in the second quarter of 2008. Further, the terms of the 5th Amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement provides for the conversion price on outstanding warrants to be reduced to the price of new securities offered, but not lower than $0.25, resulting in a significant reduction of the amount of funds that will be realized by the Company in the event of an exercise of the warrants at current market prices. See Note I – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding potential dilution.
For further discussion regarding our obligations, see Note C – Long Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements and Note I – Subsequent Events.
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
20
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, 2008; future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. These policies are also described in Note B of the Condensed Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
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 collectability 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 a “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 its 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 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
21
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
We account for our share based compensation plans according to the provisions of SFAS 123-R. 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 as of March 31, 2008.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
This Item 3 is not applicable to the Company as Item 305 of Regulation S-K was not applicable to the Company for the Company’s prior fiscal year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s 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 Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange 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 Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s first quarter of the fiscal year that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
