SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, risks and uncertainties. Generally, the words “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “believe” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The information included in this Form 10-K is as of the filing date with the Securities and Exchange 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.

Part I

ITEM 1. Business

General

    Integral Vision, Inc. (or the “Company”) develops, manufactures and markets microprocessor-based process monitoring and inspection systems for use in industrial manufacturing environments. The principle application for the Company’s products is optical display inspection (“machine vision products”). The Company’s products are generally sold as capital goods. Depending on the application, machine vision systems have an indefinite life. Machine vision applications are more likely to require replacement due to possible technological obsolescence than physical wear.

Overview

    Integral Vision is a supplier of machine vision systems used to ensure product quality during the manufacturing process.

    Machine vision has become a necessity for manufacturers who need to continually improve production efficiency to meet the increasing demand for high quality products. The Company’s vision systems automatically identify, gauge or inspect parts with speed and accuracy. Quantitative information about each part is evaluated for functional or cosmetic defects. Our systems can be configured to statistically monitor the production process and send data to other equipment in the manufacturing cell. Such data could be used, for example, by a diverter to send defective parts to a reject bin, or by process controllers to automatically adjust process variables.
 
    The Company markets its turnkey systems to the flat panel display industry. Applications development software, such as our Industrial Vision Controller (IVC) technology, can be applied to an extensive array of applications in industries that run the gamut from aerospace to medical to textiles.

Products

    Flat Panel Display Inspection
 
    Integral Vision has over nine years of experience in the display industry. Our initial product, LCI-Professional, is used for inspection of LCD Displays as components or final assemblies. Applications include cell phones, car radios, pagers, electronic organizers and hand-held video games. Integral Vision’s 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.
 
    Integral Vision’s SharpEye 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, Poly OLED, DMD, EL, HTPS, LTPS, 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.
 
    Integral Vision’s ChromaSee, introduced in 2003, provides luminance, color matching and defect inspections for FPD displays. Defect detection includes functional (e.g. failed pixels, icons) and cosmetic (e.g. scratches) defects. 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.

Production and Suppliers

    The Company’s 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, the Company generally contracts for outside vendors to build the boards based on internal company designs.

    The Company generally does not rely on a single source for parts and subassemblies, although certain components and subassemblies included in the Company’s products may only be obtained from a limited number of suppliers. Management believes alternative sources or designs could be developed for any of the components used in its products thereby mitigating any exposure to product interruption from shortages of parts or limited suppliers.

Intellectual Property

    Management believes that the technology incorporated in its products gives it advantages over its competitors and prospective competitors. Protection of technology is attempted through a combination of patents, applied for patents, confidentiality agreements and trade secrets. The Company presently has 14 patents. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the resources to defend its patents or that patents the Company holds will be considered valid if challenged. In addition, it is possible that some patents will be rendered worthless as the result of technological obsolescence.

Marketing

    The Company generally markets its vision products to end users, but the Company has had success integrating its products with OEM’s in certain circumstances. Although sales are made worldwide, the Company’s 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 is characterized by rapid and continuous technological development and product innovation. The Company believes that continued and timely development of new products and enhancements to existing products is necessary to maintain its competitive position. Accordingly, the Company devotes a significant portion of its personnel and financial resources to product development programs and seeks to maintain close relationships with customers to remain responsive to their needs. The Company’s net engineering and development costs amounted to $663,000, $852,000, and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The Company’s current product development efforts are primarily directed to Flat Panel Display Inspection products.

Environmental Factors

3


Table of Contents

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

Competition

    The Company experiences competition in all areas in which it operates. Competition for Flat Panel Display Inspection comes primarily from Westar Display Technologies, Inc. Cognex Corp. competes either directly or indirectly via systems integrators in certain general vision application work, as do numerous niche producers of machine vision solutions.

Export Sales

    Sales outside of the United States accounted for 13%, 54% and 46% of the Company’s net sales in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Management expects that such sales will continue to represent a significant percentage of its net sales. Most of the Company’s 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 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 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 the year ended December 31, 2003 sales to Intel Corporation, Owens Brockway and Toyo Corporation represented 63%, 14%, and 11% of consolidated sales, respectively. Amounts due from these customers represented 0% of the respective outstanding trade receivable balance at December 31, 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2002 sales to Ness Display Co., LTD and Uniax Corporation represented 13% and 14% of consolidated sales, respectively. Amounts due from these customers represented 3% of the respective outstanding trade receivable balance at December 31, 2002. In 2001 the Company did not have sales to any single customer that exceeded 10% of total consolidated sales.

Backlog

    As of December 31, 2003, the Company had an order backlog of approximately $1.6 million compared to $399,000 at December 31, 2002. Management expects that the Company will ship products representing this entire backlog in 2004.

Employees

    As of February 28, 2004, the Company had approximately 12 permanent employees, as compared to 13 at February 28, 2003 and 18 at February 28, 2002. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor union.

ITEM 2. Properties

    Manufacturing, engineering and administrative functions of Integral Vision are performed at an approximately 5,000 square foot facility leased by the Company in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

Part II

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

    The Company’s common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol INVI. As of March 15, 2004, there were approximately 3,000 stockholders of the Company including individual participants in security position listings.
 
    The Company’s common stock was moved to the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) effective with its delisting from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market with the open of business August 16, 2001. The Company was informed by Nasdaq that the delisting was decided by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications panel which approved the Nasdaq’s staff decision to delist the stock due to its failing to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days as required by Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) for continued listing.
 
    Information on the current quotes on the stock, which will continue to use the ticker symbol INVI, are available at the OTCBB’s website, www.otcbb.com and most financial information portals, such as that provided at http://finance.yahoo.com or http://quote.bloomberg.com. Integral Vision will continue to provide information through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as required for continued listing on the OTCBB. These filings can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
 
    The table below shows the high and low sales prices for the Company’s common stock for each quarter in the past two years. The closing sales price for the Company’s common stock on March 16, 2004 was $1.50 per share.

    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. Management believes 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 the Company’s common stock. General economic trends such as recessionary cycles and changing interest rates may also adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. No cash dividends on common stock have been paid during any period.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

    Integral Vision, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets microprocessor-based process monitoring and inspection products for use in industrial manufacturing environments. The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of flat panel display inspection equipment. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this document are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the impact of the level of the Company’s indebtedness; the Company’s ability to obtain the cash needed to allow it to continue as a going concern; general economic conditions and conditions in the specific industries in which the Company has significant customers; price fluctuations in the materials purchased by the Company for assembly into final products; competitive conditions in the Company’s markets and the effect of competitive products and pricing; and technological development by the Company, its customers and its competition. As a result, the Company’s results may fluctuate. Additional information concerning risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s best estimates as of the date of this document. The Company assumes no obligation to update such estimates except as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Year Ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002

    Net revenues decreased $938,000 (59%) to $641,000 in 2003 from $1.6 million in 2002. Net revenue is reported net of sales commission expense of approximately $11,000 in 2003 compared to $83,000 in 2002. The decrease in net revenue was partially attributable to the fact that the Company sold its disc identification/print inspection (CDiD/CDiP) product line in 2002 (see Note K to consolidated financial statements). Sales from the Company’s disc identification/print inspection (CDiD/CDiP) product line accounted for $743,000 of the net revenue in the 2002 period. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales of the Company’s flat panel display inspection product. Sales from the flat panel display inspection product line accounted for approximately $497,000 and $447,000 of the Company’s net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company’s revenue from other applications was approximately $85,000 and $139,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company’s revenue from software was approximately $43,000 and $62,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company’s revenue from service activities was approximately $18,000 and $398,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
 
    Direct costs of sales decreased $572,000 (49%) to $604,000 (approximately 94.2% of sales) in 2002 from $1.2 million (approximately 74.5% of sales) in 2002. This was primarily attributable to the lower sales volume and smaller structure required to support it as well as lower patent amortization expense in the 2003 period. Management periodically performs an analysis of the net realizable value of capitalized patent costs. In the 2002 period, Management determined that capitalized patent costs exceeded the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized and a write-down was necessary. In the year ended December 31, 2002, $74,000 of additional amortization was included in costs of sales as a result of this determination.
 
    Marketing costs decreased 60.0%, or $334,000, to $223,000 in 2003 compared to $557,000 in 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable to workforce reductions resulting from the implementation of a cost reduction plan by Management in late 2000 and throughout 2001. Employee related costs in the marketing division were $143,000 lower in 2003 compared to 2002 levels. The plan also called for workforce reductions in both the general and administrative department and the engineering department, as evidenced by the figures below. Advertising costs were $62,000 lower in 2003 compared to 2002 levels.
 
    General and administrative costs decreased 23.4%, or $252,000, to $802,000 in 2003 compared to $1.1 million in 2002. The costs for outside services were $107,000 lower in 2003 compared to 2002 levels. Legal expenses were $33,000 lower in 2003 compared to 2002. Additionally bad debts expense in the general and administrative division decreased 98.1% or $97,000 in 2003.
 
    Engineering and development expenditures decreased 22.1%, or $189,000, to $663,000 in 2003 compared to $852,000 in 2002. Facilities expenses were $123,000 lower in 2003 compared to 2002. The costs for outside services were $64,000 lower in 2003 compared to 2002 levels.
 
    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 the Company received for the technology consisted of a non-refundable $100,000 advanced minimum royalty payment in addition to future royalties. The Company received approxmiately $54,000 in royalties in 2003 and expects to receive additional royalties in excess of $60,000 a year for the next two years. Additionally, the Company received $25,000 from the sale of equipment to DaTARIUS. The Company 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) in 2003 includes approximately $54,000 of royalty income and $18,000 for engineering fees in connection with the DaTARIUS Technologies transaction.
 
    Interest income decreased to $320 in 2003 compared to $11,000 in 2002. The income in the 2002 period is primarily attributable to interest charged on the officers’ notes receivable. The decrease in interest income from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the of the officers’ notes receivable in 2003.
 
    Interest expense increased $119,000 to $370,000 in 2003 compared to $251,000 in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the interest on the debentures and Class 2 notes that were sold under the 2001 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (see Note C to consolidated financial statements) and the discount on the debentures amortized in 2003.
 
    In June 2002, Integral Vision, Inc. wrote-off an inter-company receivable due from Integral Vision Ltd., its subsidiary in the United Kingdom. As the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both entities, upon consolidation, the charge recorded by Integral Vision, Inc., approximately $3.1 million, was eliminated against the gain recorded by Integral Vision Ltd. However, previously unrecognized losses that resulted from foreign currency translation adjustments were recognized in the June 30, 2002 quarter and totaled approximately $208,000.

Year Ended December 31, 2002, compared to the year ended December 31, 2001

    Net revenues decreased $1.1 million (40.0%) to $1.6 million in 2002 from $2.6 million in 2001. Net revenue is reported net of sales commission expense of approximately $83,000 in 2002 compared to $84,000 in 2001. The decrease in net revenue was partially attributable to the fact that the Company sold its packaging product line in 2001 (see Note K to consolidated financial statements). Sales from the Company’s packaging product line accounted for $516,000 of the net revenue in the 2001 period. Additionally, sales of the Company’s disc identification/print inspection (CDiD/CDiP) products were lower in the 2002 period. The Company sold its disc identification/print inspection product line in early September 2002 (see Note K to consolidated financial statements). Sales from the disc inspection product line accounted for approximately $743,000 and $1.1 million of the Company’s net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company’s revenue from service activities was approximately $398,000 and $511,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales of the Company’s flat panel display inspection product. Sales from the flat panel display inspection product line accounted for approximately $447,000 and $413,000 of the Company’s net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
    Direct costs of sales decreased $4.2 million (78.2%) to $1.2 million (approximately 74.5% of sales) in 2002 from $5.4 million (approximately 205% of sales) in 2001. This was primarily attributable to the lower sales volume and lower depreciation and amortization expense in the 2002 period. Depreciation and amortization expense was lower in 2002 primarily due to the 2001 sale of the Company’s building (see Note J to consolidated financial statements) and the write-off of capitalized software costs in 2001. Management periodically performs an analysis of the net realizable value of capitalized software costs. In 2001, based on market conditions and the direction of the Company, Management determined that capitalized software development costs exceeded the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized and a write-down was necessary. For the year ended December 31, 2001, $1.3 million of additional amortization was included in costs of sales as a result of these analyses. Additionally, as a result of the analyses, direct costs of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes a $540,000 charge for the write-down of inventory. In the 2002 period, Management determined that capitalized patent costs exceeded the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized and a write-down was necessary. In the year ended December 31, 2002, $74,000 of additional amortization was included in costs of sales as a result of this determination. The gross margin in the 2001 period was negative due to the fact that the sales volume was not sufficient to cover the fixed charges, depreciation and amortization, included in direct cost of sales.

    Marketing costs decreased 62.4%, or $926,000, to $557,000 in 2002 compared to $1.5 million in 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to workforce reductions resulting from the implementation of a cost reduction plan by Management in late 2000 and throughout 2001. Employee related costs in the marketing division were $828,000 lower in 2002 compared to 2001 levels. The plan also called for workforce reductions in both the general and administrative department and the engineering department, as evidenced by the figures below. Advertising costs were $106,000 lower in 2002 compared to 2001 levels.
 
    General and administrative costs decreased 38.1%, or $649,000, to $1.1 million in 2002 compared to $1.7 million in 2001. Messrs. Charles Drake and Mark Doede each had loans from the Company. In August 2001, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to forgive $100,000 of the outstanding balance on each of their loans from the Company, which resulted in a $200,000 charge to compensation expense. Additionally, Mr. Charles Drake was provided with 400,000 shares of unregistered stock of the Company, subject to certain sale restrictions. An additional $56,000 of compensation expense was charged to general and administrative expense in 2001 as a result of the issuance of these shares. Exclusive of these infrequent charges, general and administrative costs decreased 27.2% or $393,000 in 2002. Employee related costs in the general and administrative division were $398,000 lower in 2002 compared to 2001 levels. Additionally, general and administrative costs included charges for bad debts of approximately $99,000 in 2002 and $109,000 in 2001.
 
    Engineering and development expenditures decreased 56.2%, or $1.1 million, to $852,000 in 2002 compared to $1.9 million in 2001. Employee related costs in the engineering and development division were $947,000 lower in 2002 compared to 2001 levels.
 
    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 the Company received for the technology consisted of a non-refundable $100,000 advanced minimum royalty payment in addition to future royalties. The Company received approxmiately $54,000 in royalties in 2003 and expects to receive additional royalties in excess of $60,000 a year in 2004 and 2005. Additionally, the Company received $25,000 from the sale of equipment to DaTARIUS. The Company 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.
 
    Included with the transaction was a Transition Services Agreement whereby Integral Vision provides assembly and agreed upon technical support services for the product line for up to twelve months after the closing date at an agreed upon rate. Revenue generated under this agreement was $24,000 in 2002 and is not expected to be significant in the future.
 
    On August 24, 2001, the Company completed the sale of certain of its packaging applications software and most of the fixed assets of its subsidiary, Integral Vision Ltd., to n.v. DIMACO, s.a. for $500,000 in cash and future royalties (see Note K to consolidated financial statements). Included in the transaction was the sale of the worldwide exclusive rights to Integral Vision’s “Full Bottle Inspection System” (FBIS), a product that performs certain inspections on bottles at the end of a filling line. Integral Vision will receive a royalty on each FBIS sold for the three years following the sale. The proceeds from the transaction were used primarily to fund current operations and to pay down existing trade payables.
 
    Also included with the transaction was a manufacturing agreement whereby DIMACO will manufacture products for Integral Vision’s Optical Disc and Display Inspection customers in Europe.

Table of Contents

    Under the terms of the sale, most of Integral Vision Ltd.’s personnel and costs transferred to DIMACO. However, Integral Vision Ltd. maintained sales and service staff to support its Optical Disc and Display Inspection customers in Europe.
 
    In 2001, the Company recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $114,000, which is included in gain(loss) on sales of assets, primarily attributable to the software included in the sale.
 
    This gain was offset by a $22,000 loss on the sale of the Company’s building in Farmington Hills, MI in July 2001 and a $210,000 charge to write-down the carrying value of the Company’s fixed assets in 2001. On July 27, 2001, the Company completed a transaction to sell the 50,000 square foot building it occupied in Farmington Hills, MI for $2.45 million, at which time the existing mortgages were retired. The Company continued to occupy a portion of the building under a five-year lease agreement with the new owner. Effective April1, 2002, the Company entered into a new lease agreement whereby it moved into a smaller space, 5,000 square feet, in exchange for a reduced lease rate. Given the reduction in square footage, the Company disposed of a significant portion of its equipment in 2002, which was written-down to its estimated net realizable value in 2001. Net proceeds from the sale was approximately $200,000 of which $186,000 was used to prepay nine months of rent, a requirement of the lease agreement.
 
    On June 30, 1999, the Company completed an agreement to sell substantially all the assets of its Welding Controls division for $25.7 million, net of costs of the sale, for cash, the assumption of certain liabilities, and a subordinated note (WTC note). The interest bearing portion of the note, approximately $1.9 million, carried an interest rate approximating prime plus 1% and required quarterly payments beginning on February 15, 2000, with a February 15, 2001 maturity date. The non-interest bearing portion of the note, $1.5 million, was discounted using an imputed interest rate of 9% and matured on February 15, 2001.
 
    In January 2001, the Company sold 19.9% of the $1.7 million then outstanding under the note agreement to third party investors in exchange for consideration of $300,000. In May 2001, the Company completed a transaction whereby it repurchased the portion of the note previously sold to the investors and then sold the entire note receivable, which had an outstanding balance of $1.1 million at April 30, 2001, to a third party for $750,000. The Company recognized a loss on sale of the note receivable of $441,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, which is included in other income(expense) in 2001.
 
    Other income(expense) in 2002 includes $18,000 of royalty income from the Company’s VisionBlox software. Additionally, the Company received $24,000 for engineering fees and $19,000 for royalties in connection with the DaTARIUS Technologies transaction.
 
    Interest income decreased $85,000 to $11,000 in 2002 compared to $96,000 in 2001. The income in the 2002 period is primarily attributable to interest charged on the officers’ notes receivable. The income in the 2001 period is primarily attributable to $62,000 of interest charged on the officers’ notes receivable and $34,000 of interest charged on the note receivable that resulted from the sale of the Company’s Welding Controls division (see Note B to consolidated financial statements). The decrease in interest income from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company’s note receivable in May 2001 and the receipt of principal payments on the outstanding balance of the note throughout the year. Reductions to the officers’ notes receivable throughout 2001 also contributed to the decrease in interest income in the 2002 period (see Note M to consolidated financial statements).
 
    Interest expense increased $79,000 to $251,000 in 2002 compared to $172,000 in 2001. The increase is primarily attributable to the debentures and Class 2 notes that were sold under the 2001 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (see Note C to consolidated financial statements). The increase was partially offset by a reduction in mortgage interest as the Company’s mortgages were paid in full when the sale of its building closed on July 27, 2001 (see Note J to consolidated financial statements). Additionally, the Company used proceeds from the sale of its note receivable in May 2001 (see Note B to consolidated financial statements) to pay in full its revolving line of credit at which time that agreement was terminated.

    In June 2002, Integral Vision, Inc. wrote-off an inter-company receivable due from Integral Vision Ltd., its subsidiary in the United Kingdom. As the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both entities, upon consolidation, the charge recorded by Integral Vision, Inc., approximately $3.1 million, was eliminated against the gain recorded by Integral Vision Ltd. However, previously unrecognized losses that resulted from foreign currency translation adjustments were recognized in the June 30, 2002 quarter and totaled approximately $208,000.

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. The Company’s reliance on large orders has contributed to the variability of the Company’s operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Operating activities for 2003 used cash of approximately $1.5 million primarily due to the Company’s loss from operations. Net loss, after non-cash adjustments of $372,000, was $1.6 million. The cash used in operating activities was partially offset by a net decrease of $40,000 in certain working capital items. Decreases in accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses and other current assets were partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and other current liabilities.

    The Company’s financing activities included the receipt of $901,000 from the sale of the Company’s senior debentures and the receipt of $920,000 from the sale of the Company’s Class 2 Notes. The Company made principal payments of approximately $254,000 on its Class 2 Notes in the period. The Company also repaid a $70,000 short term advance from Max A. Coon, an officer of the Company.

    The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company’s anticipated cash provided by operating activities will not be sufficient to support the Company’s cash flow needs over the next twelve months. Additionally, at December 31, 2003, substantially all

    of the Company’s $412,000 in trade accounts payable was overdue, of which $62,000 was paid subsequent to December 31, 2003. The Company also has an estimated $386,000 in amounts owed to certain regulatory agencies. The Company is making monthly payments of approximately $6,300 to one of the regulatory agencies. At December 31, 2003, under the terms of the Company’s Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company could issue up to $4.0 million of senior debentures, which consists of Class 1 and Class 2 Notes. Class 2 Notes are working capital notes, are secured by accounts receivable of the Company, and are subordinated to the Class 1 Notes issued prior to April 16, 2002. In September 2003, the holders of all of the then outstanding Class 2 Notes agreed to modify the maturity dates of those Notes to April 30, 2004. In December 2003, certain of the Class 2 Notes were amended to have maturity dates of May 31, 2004. The purchasers of the Class 2 Notes receive warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock when the Note is repaid. 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 specified price which shall be approximately 150% of the recent fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of the issuance of the Class 2 Note. Based on their respective maturity dates, the number of common shares that could be purchased with Class 2 warrants is estimated to be 486,000. There was approximately $2.8 million in principal and interest due to the Class 1 Note holders at December 31, 2003. In August 2003, the holders of those Notes agreed to a modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement that increased the maximum amount of the Notes outstanding to $4.0 million and created a new Class 3 Note which is convertible into Integral Vision, Inc. common stock at a conversion rate set by the Company’s board of directors at the date of issuance. No Class 3 Notes were issued, however. Class 1 Notes issued have maturities of up to four years, an interest rate of 10%, and the purchasers of the Notes receive warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock (see Note A to consolidated financial statements). The value assigned to warrants is included in additional paid-in capital and the discount is amortized over the life of the note. Additionally, the directors will determine the conversion rate at the date of issuance, subject to change in the event additional shares are issued in the future. In March 2004, the holders of the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes agreed to an additional modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The maturity date on substantially all of the outstanding Class 2 Notes was extended to December 31, 2005. Principal and interest due on the Class 2 notes on December 31, 2005 is projected to be approximately $1.2 million. The terms of the Class 1 Notes were changed such that all accrued interest (projected to be approximately $425,000) would be due on June 30, 2004. Additionally, the first principal payments (projected to be approximately $176,000) on the Class 1 Notes would be due on June 30, 2004. However, the amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement provides that, if the Company’s shareholders approve management’s proposal to increase the Company’s authorized stock to 31,000,000 at the Company’s annual meeting of its shareholders to be held on May 6, 2004, the following will occur:

    The accrued interest on outstanding Class 1 Notes as of December 31, 2003 in the amount of approximately $313,418 will be exchanged for new Class 3 Notes due July 3, 2006 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.

    The initial interest payment due on Class 1 Notes for interest accruing after December 31, 2003 will be due April 1, 2005.

    Quarterly principal payments on Class 1 Notes would be eliminated, with all principal due at maturity.

    $330,000 of principal on Class 1 Notes issued prior to April 16, 2002 will be exchanged for Class 3 Notes due February 27, 2007 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.

    Class 2 Notes outstanding at February 29, 2004, plus interest then accrued, may be exchanged for Class 3 Notes due December 31, 2005 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.

    Management is projecting a cash shortfall over the next twelve months of approximately $70,000. Management plans to seek additional investors of its debentures to cover the anticipated shortfall, which would bring the amount of debentures outstanding to $1.7 million. Additionally, if necessary, Management would attempt to obtain any additional cash needed to enable the Company to continue as a going concern through possible joint ventures and other strategic alliances. Additional financing may or may not be available through banks. There can be no assurance that Management will be able to successfully execute these plans before the Company has exhausted all of its resources. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Impact of Inflation

    The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on the Company’s 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. The Company’s 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 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company has elected to adopt only the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148.

    In April 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative discussed in paragraph 6(b) of SFAS No. 133, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying to conform to language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The provisions of Statement No. 149 did not have an impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

    In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of Statement No. 150 did not have an impact on the financial position of the Company.

Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

    The Company’s consolidated 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

Table of Contents

    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 December 31, 2003, future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. These policies are also discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report.

    Revenue Recognition

    The Company recognizes 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.

    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.

    Inventories

    Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Cost is computed using currently adjusted standards which approximates actual costs on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company assesses the recoverability of all inventory to determine whether adjustments for impairment are required.

    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.

    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, 2003.

ITEM 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

    The Company is 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 the Company’s long-term debt whenever possible. The Company does 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.

    Foreign Exchange Rates – The Company’s location outside the US is in the United Kingdom. This is a sales office with net non-current assets that are not significant. This office was closed at December 31, 2002 due to the sales of the Company’s packaging and disc inspection product lines. On a consolidated basis the Company denominates sales in the following currencies:

    US Dollars
 
    Pound Sterling
 
    Euros
 
    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, 2003, the Company had no open positions.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

    Financial statements and quarterly results of operations are submitted in separate sections of this report.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants and Financial Disclosure

    Moore Stephens Doeren Mayhew, the Company’s independent auditors, (“Doeren”) resigned following completion of its audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. Doeren’s resignation was based on its decision to terminate its engagements with any publicly owned companies.

    Doeren’s report on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two previous years was qualified as to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The reports did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to any other uncertainty or as to audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, there were no disagreements between the Company and Doeren on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Doeren, would have caused Doeren to make reference to the matter in its report.

    Consistent with Section 10A(i)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as added by Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company is responsible for listing the non-audit services approved by the Company’s Audit Committee to be performed by Rehmann Robson, the Company’s external auditor. Non-audit services are defined as services other than those provided in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Company. In the period covered by this filing, the Audit Committee

Independent Auditors’ Report

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integral Vision, Inc.
Farmington Hills, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Integral Vision, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule for 2003 as listed in the accompanying index at Item 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit provides 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, 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for 2003, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note O to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is sustaining recurring losses from operations and is having difficulties generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations. 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 O. The consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integral Vision, Inc.
Farmington Hills, MI

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Integral Vision, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2002. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule for 2002 and 2001 as listed in the accompanying index at ITEM 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

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, 2002 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for 2002 and 2001, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note O to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is suffering recurring losses from operations and its difficulties in generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note O. 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 microprocessor-based process monitoring and control systems for use in industrial manufacturing environments. The principle application for the Company’s products is optical display inspection (“machine vision products”). The Company’s product offerings include LCI-Professional, SharpEye and ChromaSee. The Company’s products are generally sold as capital goods. Depending on the application, machine vision systems have an indefinite life. Machine vision applications are more likely to require replacement due to possible technological obsolescence rather than 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. 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 period. 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 net earnings.

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 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 2003, sales to three certain customers represented 63%, 14%, and 11% of consolidated sales, respectively. Amounts due from these customers represented 0% of the respective outstanding trade receivable balance at December 31, 2003. For 2002, sales to two certain customers represented 13.2%, and 13.7% of consolidated sales, respectively. Amounts due from these customers represented 2.6% of the respective outstanding trade receivable balance at December 31, 2002. In 2001 the Company did not have sales to any single customer that exceeded 10% of total sales.

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 (net of obsolescence reserves of $671,000 in 2003 and $561,000 in 2002):

Finished goods

  $ 168     $ 328  
 
   
 
     
 
 

    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. Due to disappointing results of the inventory liquidation effort, management decided that a change in estimate was necessary. A charge to direct costs of sales to write the inventory down to estimated net realizable value was $540,000 in 2001. Also included in direct costs of sales were non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization and net realizable value write downs related to capitalized software totalling $2.9 million in 2001. A reconciliation of gross margin as reported to gross margin from operations is presented in the table below.

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

31


Table of Contents

    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.
 
    Total software development costs incurred internally by the Company were $663,000, $852,000, and $1,946,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively, of which $384,000 was capitalized in 2001. Amortization of the capitalized costs amounted to $193,000, $194,000, and $2,639,000 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Total accumulated amortization at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $7,495,000 and $7,301,000, respectively.

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).

Patents

    Total patent costs incurred and capitalized by the Company were $2,000, $7,000, and $50,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization of $428,000 and $382,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Amortization of the patents amounted to $46,000, $178,000, and $112,000 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, 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 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.
 
    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 which 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. The Company believes its credit evaluation and monitoring mitigates its credit risk.

Advertising

    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $13,000, $75,000, and $181,000 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, 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.

Fair Value Disclosure

    The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, notes 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.

Comprehensive Income

    The Company displays comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit. At December 31, 2001, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of unrealized loss resulting from foreign currency translation adjustments. The accumulated unrealized losses from foreign currency translation adjustments were recognized in 2002.

Stock Options

    The Company has elected 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 FAS 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 FAS 123 (see Note H).

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, 2003.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company has elected to adopt only the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148.

    In April 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative discussed in paragraph 6(b) of SFAS No. 133, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying to conform to language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The provisions of Statement No. 149 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

    In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The provisions of Statement No. 150 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

Note B – Sale of Welding Controls Division

    On June 30, 1999, the Company completed an agreement to sell substantially all the assets of its Welding Controls division for $25.7 million, net of costs of the sale, for cash, the assumption of certain liabilities, and a subordinated note (WTC note). The interest bearing portion of the note, approximately $1.9 million, carried an interest rate approximating prime plus 1% and required quarterly payments beginning on February 15, 2000, with a February 15, 2001 maturity date. The non-interest bearing portion of the note, $1.5 million, was discounted using an imputed interest rate of 9% and matured on February 15, 2001.
 
    In January 2001, the Company sold 19.9% of the $1.7 million then outstanding under the note agreement to third party investors in exchange for consideration of $300,000. In May 2001, the Company completed a transaction whereby it repurchased the portion of the note previously sold to the investors and then sold the entire note receivable, which had an outstanding balance of $1.1 million at April 30, 2001, to a third party for $750,000. The Company recognized a loss on sale of the note receivable of $441,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, which is included in other income(expense) in 2001.

    The Company incurred both Federal and State income tax liabilities as a result of the sale of the assets of it Welding Controls division. The Company paid approximately $90,000 for its 1999 alternative minimum tax liability, which resulted primarily from the gain on the sale of the Welding Controls Division. This amount was refunded to the Company in 2002 (see Note D to consolidated financial statements). Additionally, the Company incurred a Michigan Single Business Tax (SBT) liability of approximately $120,000 for the 1999 tax year as a result of the transaction. At December 31, 2003, this liability was not yet paid in

    full and was included in accrued state income taxes in the consolidated balance sheet. Including interest and penalties, approximately $166,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2003 for this obligation, which is included in accrued state income taxes in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is making monthly payments of approximately $6,300 to the taxing authority.

    The acquiring company also 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 acquiring company fails to make the required payments, Integral Vision may be obligated for those amounts due. As of December 31, 2003, no notifications have been made that the Company is obligated for any payments not made and the arrangement expires in 2004.

Note C - Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

    At December 31, 2003, under the terms of the Company’s Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company could issue up to $4.0 million of senior debentures, which consists of Class 1 and Class 2 Notes. Class 2 Notes are working capital notes, are secured by accounts receivable of the Company, and are subordinated to the Class 1 Notes issued prior to April 16, 2002. In September 2003, the holders of all of the then outstanding Class 2 Notes agreed to modify the maturity dates of those Notes to April 30, 2004. In December 2003, certain of the Class 2 Notes were amended to have maturity dates of May 31, 2004. The purchasers of the Class 2 Notes receive warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock when the Note is repaid. 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 specified price which shall be approximately 150% of the recent fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of the issuance of the Class 2 Note. Based on their respective maturity dates, the number of common shares that could be purchased with Class 2 warrants is estimated to be 486,000. There was approximately $2.8 million in principal and interest due to the Class 1 Note holders at December 31, 2003. In August 2003, the holders of those Notes agreed to a modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement that increased the maximum amount of the Notes outstanding to $4.0 million and created a new Class 3 Note which is convertible into Integral Vision, Inc. common stock at a conversion rate set by the Company’s board of directors at the date of issuance. No Class 3 Notes were issued, however. Class 1 Notes issued have maturities of up to four years, an interest rate of 10%, and the purchasers of the Notes receive warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock. The value assigned to warrants is included in additional paid-in capital and the discount is amortized over the life of the note. Additionally, the directors will determine the conversion rate at the date of issuance, subject to change in the event additional shares are issued in the future. In March 2004, the holders of the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes agreed to an additional modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The maturity date on substantially all of the outstanding Class 2 Notes was extended to December 31, 2005. Principal and interest due on the Class 2 notes on December 31, 2005 is projected to be approximately $1.2 million. The terms of the Class 1 Notes were changed such that all accrued interest (projected to be approximately $425,000) would be due on June 30, 2004. Additionally, the first principal payments (projected to be approximately $176,000) on the Class 1 Notes would be due on June 30, 2004. However, the amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement provides that, if the Company’s shareholders approve management’s proposal to increase the Company’s authorized stock to 31,000,000 at the Company’s annual meeting of its shareholders to be held on May 6, 2004, the following will occur:

    The accrued interest on outstanding Class 1 Notes as of December 31, 2003 in the amount of approximately $313,418 will be exchanged for new Class 3 Notes due July 3, 2006 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.

35


Table of Contents

    The initial interest payment due on Class 1 Notes for interest accruing after December 31, 2003 will be due April 1, 2005.
 
    Quarterly principal payments on Class 1 Notes would be eliminated, with all principal due at maturity.
 
    $330,000 of principal on Class 1 Notes issued prior to April 16, 2002 will be exchanged for Class 3 Notes due February 27, 2007 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.
 
    Class 2 Notes outstanding at February 29, 2004, plus interest then accrued, may be exchanged for Class 3 Notes due December 31, 2005 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.

    During 2003, $1,355,000 of the Class 1 Notes were placed, $210,000 of which were purchased by the Company’s chairman, Charles J. Drake. At December 31, 2003, a total of $2,455,000 of the Class 1 Notes had been placed. Mr. Drake has purchased a total of $560,000 of the Company’s Class 1 Notes and Max A. Coon (a director of the Company) has purchased a total of $90,000 of the Company’s Class 1 Notes.
 
    During 2003, $920,000 of the Class 2 Notes were placed. The Company made principal payments of $254,000 to Class 2 Note holders and an additional $455,000 of Class 2 Notes were converted to Class 1 Notes by the Note holders in the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. The outstanding principal balance on the Class 2 Notes was $722,000 at December 31, 2003.
 
    Subsequent to December 31, 2003, $250,000 of Class 2 Notes were placed. The holders of these Notes will receive warrants when their notes are paid off, the amount of which will be determined at the pay off date (See discussion above). Also subsequent to December 31, 2003, $193,000 of Class 3 Notes were placed. These Notes are due April 1, 2008 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share for $100,000 of the Class 3 Notes and $1.25 for $93,000 of the Class 3 Notes. Finally, subsequent to December 31, 2003, Class 1 Notes totaling $827,500 were canceled as payment for the exercise of warrants to purchase 3,310,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Included in these amounts were $472,500 of Class 1 Notes canceled as payment for the exercise of warrants to purchase 1,890,000 shares of common stock by Mr. Drake.
 
    At December 31, 2003, the Company had short-term notes payable to related parties of approximately $449,000. The Company’s notes to related parties included the following: a $139,000 obligation to Maxco, Inc. (an 18% owner of the Company); a $232,000 obligation to Warren, Cameron, Asciutto, and Blackmer, P.C. (the Company’s corporate counsel); and a $79,000 obligation to 2161 Limited Partnership (a partnership in which J. Michael Warren of Warren, Cameron, Asciutto, and Blackmer, P.C. is a partner). These notes have interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 6.75% and, at December 31, 2003, were due on demand. Interest expense related to the Maxco note was approximately $7,000 in 2003. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the due date on the obligation to Maxco was extended to July 1, 2005 and $250,000 of the obligations (including accrued interest) to Warren, Cameron, Asciutto, and Blackmer, P.C. were exchanged for Class 3 Notes due December 31, 2005, with the remaining portion of the obligation, approximately $104,000, due July 1, 2005.
 
    Additionally, Maxco 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 has not recorded any charge for these services to date. For future services the Company may record charges, if and when, Management, Maxco, and the Independent Directors determine the value of such services on an ongoing basis.

    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 debentures and the amount of discount on the debentures amortized in 2003. Interest paid in 2002 was approximately $39,000 compared to interest expensed of $251,000. The $212,000 difference primarily represents amounts accrued for interest on the debentures and the amount of discount on the debentures amortized in 2002. Interest paid in 2001 was approximately $125,000 compared to interest expensed of $172,000. The $47,000 difference primarily represents amounts accrued for interest on the debentures and the amount of discount on the debentures amortized in 2001.

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.
 
    In March 2002, Congress enacted what is known as the “Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002” to provide tax incentives for economic recovery. One of the provisions of the Act was to extend the carryback period for net operating losses incurred in tax years ending in 2001 or 2002 to five years versus the three years previously allowed. Additionally, any net operating losses as computed for alternative minimum tax purposes for tax years ending in 2001 or 2002 can also be carried back five years and can be used to offset up to 100% of alternative minimum taxable income. Previously, alternative minimum tax net operating losses could only be used to offset up to 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. As a result of this Act, the Company was able to carryback its 2001 net operating loss as computed for alternative minimum tax purposes to 1999, which reduced its tax liability in that year to zero. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company received a refund of taxes previously paid of approximately $90,000.
 
    As of December 31, 2003, the Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards approximating $36.7 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, and $5.5 million in 2023) for 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 $2.0 million in 2003, $1.6 million in 2002, and $2.2 million in 2001.

    Warrants and options outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of these options would have an antidilutive effect. For additional disclosures regarding stock options and warrants see Note H.

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 $6,000, $7,000, and $15,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Note G - Lease Commitments and Contingencies

    The Company uses equipment and office space under operating lease agreements requiring rental payments approximating $92,000 in 2004 and $2,000 in 2005. Rent expense charged to operations approximated $70,000, $128,000, and $154,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. On July 27, 2001, the Company completed a transaction to sell the building it currently occupies in Farmington Hills, MI for $2.45 million. The Company continues to occupy a portion of the building under a five-year lease agreement with the new owner. In 2002, the Company entered into a new lease agreement whereby it occupies less square footage in exchange for a reduced lease rate. This agreement was effective April 1, 2002 and is reflected in the future lease payments previously discussed.

Note H - Stock Options and Warrants

    The Company has elected 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 FAS 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 FAS 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:

                         
    2003
  2002
  2001
Expected stock price volatility
    1.172       0.833       0.768  
Risk free interest rate
    2.0 %     3.0 %     5.5 %
Expected life of options in years
    7.0       7.4       7.7  

    For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is as follows:

                         
    Year ended December 31,

    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 only stock options granted in 1995 through 2003 and may not be comparable with the results of applying the fair market value methodology to all stock options granted prior to the initial adoption of this statement.
 
    On August 1, 2001, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to grant qualified stock options for the purchase of 335,000 shares with an exercise price equal to the market price at the close of trading on the grant date, $.14 per share. In order to facilitate this grant, Mr. Charles Drake, the Company’s Chairman, agreed to forfeit options on 150,000 shares so that they could be distributed to other key people. Additionally, Mr. Drake was provided with 400,000 shares of unregistered stock of the Company, subject to certain sale restrictions. An additional $56,000 of compensation expense was charged to general and administrative expense in 2001 as a result of the issuance of these shares. At December 31, 2003, there were options outstanding to purchase 1,005,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.10 to $9.25 per share.
 
    In January 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to grant 225,000 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, $.10 per share. In order to facilitate this grant, Mr. Charles Drake, the Company’s Chairman, agreed to forfeit options on 144,000 shares so that they could be distributed to other key people. Additionally, in March 2002, the Compensation Committee resolved to grant 55,000 qualified and 20,000 non-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, $.24 per share.
 
    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 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 people.

    In March 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to $1.5 million (increased to $2.5 million in March 2003 and further increased to $4.0 million in August 2003) of senior subordinated debentures. At December 31, 2003, in connection with placements of debt under this plan, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 7,878,150 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $.25 per share, 584,100 shares at a conversion price of $.35 per share and 109,041 shares at a conversion price of $.80 per share. The Company’s chairman, Charles J. Drake, has invested a total of $560,000 in the Company’s debentures and in connection with these committments received warrants for the purchase of 1,890,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

    In connection with the private placement of $7.0 million of debentures in 1997, which were retired in 1999, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 1,400,000 Integral Vision common shares at $6.86 per share through June 30, 2005, all of which were outstanding at December 31, 2003. Pursuant to the 1997 Note and Warrant Purchase agreement, these warrants have been re-priced based on subsequent warrant issues. At December 31, 2003, the holders of these warrants had the right to purchase up to 2,582,264 shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.72 per share.

Note J – Sale of Building

    On July 27, 2001, the Company completed a transaction to sell the 50,000 square foot building it occupied in Farmington Hills, MI for $2.45 million, at which time the existing mortgages were retired. The Company continued to occupy a portion of the building under a five-year lease agreement with the new owner. Effective April 1, 2002, the Company entered into a new lease agreement whereby it moved into a smaller space, 5,000 square feet, in exchange for a reduced lease rate. Given the reduction in square footage, the Company disposed of a significant portion of its equipment in 2002, which was written-down to its estimated net realizable value in 2001. Net proceeds from the sale were approximately $200,000 of which $186,000 was used to prepay nine months of rent, a requirement of the lease agreement. The Company recognized a loss on the sale of the building of approximately $22,000 in addition to a $210,000 charge to write-down the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment in 2001, both of which are included in gain(loss) on sales of assets.

Note K – Sale of Technology

    Packaging Inspection Technology
 
    On August 24, 2001, the Company completed the sale of certain of its packaging applications software and most of the property and equipment of its subsidiary, Integral Vision Ltd., to n.v. DIMACO, s.a. for $500,000 in cash and future royalties. Included in the transaction was the sale of the worldwide exclusive rights to Integral Vision’s “Full Bottle Inspection System” (FBIS), a product that performs certain inspections on bottles at the end of a filling line. Integral Vision will receive a royalty on each FBIS sold for the next three years. The proceeds from the transaction were used primarily to fund current operations and to pay down existing trade payables.
 
    Also included with the transaction was a manufacturing agreement whereby DIMACO will manufacture products for Integral Vision’s Optical Disc and Display Inspection customers in Europe.
 
    Under the terms of the sale, most of Integral Vision Ltd.’s personnel and costs have transferred to DIMACO. However, Integral Vision Ltd. maintains sales and service staff to support its Optical Disc and Display Inspection customers in Europe.
 
    The approximate net book values of the assets sold were $13,000 for inventory, $97,000 for property and equipment, and $276,000 for capitalized software development costs. The Company recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $114,000, which is included in gain(loss) on sales of assets in 2001, primarily attributable to the software included in the sale.
 
    The packaging applications included in the sale accounted for approximately $516,000 of the Company’s net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
    Optical Disc Inspection Technology
 
    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 Visions 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 the Company received for the technology consisted of a non-refundable $100,000 advanced minimum royalty payment in addition to future royalties. The Company received approxmiately $54,000 in royalties in 2003 and expects to receive additional royalties in excess of $60,000 a year for the next two years. Additionally, the Company received $25,000 from the sale of equipment to DaTARIUS. The Company recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $112,000, which is included in gain(loss) on sales 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.
 
    The optical disc inspection technology included in the sale accounted for approximately $743,000, and $1.1 million of the Company’s net revenue for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Note L – Change in Estimate

    Management has focused its development, sales and marketing efforts on the Company’s inspection systems for the flat panel display (SFPD) 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 SFPD industry including liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), organic light emitting diodes (OLED), liquid crystal display (LCD), and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

    Management periodically performs an analysis of the net realizable value of capitalized software costs. Based on current market conditions and the direction of the Company, Management determined that capitalized software development costs exceeded the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized and a write-down was necessary. During 2001, $1.3 million of additional amortization is included in costs of sales as a result of these analyses. Additionally, as a result of the analyses, direct costs of revenues in 2001 includes a $540,000 charge for the write-down of inventory.

    In 2002, Management determined that capitalized patent costs exceeded the estimated net realizable value of amounts capitalized and a write-down was necessary. In 2002, $74,000 of additional amortization was included in costs of sales as a result of this determination.

Note M – Officers’ Notes Receivable

    In 2001, Messrs. Charles Drake and Mark Doede each had loans from the Company, the outstanding balances of which were included in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. In August 2001, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to forgive $100,000 of the outstanding balance on each of their loans from the Company. The $200,000 charge for the write-down of the notes was included as compensation in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations in 2001. Mr. Drake also made approximately $250,000 in principal payments on his note in 2001. Mr. Drake paid off the remaining $63,000 principal balance of this note in 2002.
 
    At June 30, 2002, Mr. Drake had received other short-term advances from the Company of approximately $83,000. This debt was incurred by Mr. Drake in order to satisfy certain personal obligations and was evidenced by a note bearing interest at 5.5% per annum with a December 31, 2002 maturity date. At December 31, 2002, approximately $30,000 was still outstanding on the note. In March 2003, this debt obligation, including accrued interest, was paid in full. Mr. Drake received no new advances from the Company subsequent to June 30, 2002.
 
    In 2002, Mr. Doede paid off the remaining principal balance of his note, approximately $188,000. This debt was incurred by Mr. Doede in order to satisfy certain personal obligations and was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 9%. Mr. Doede received no new advances from the Company subsequent to June 30, 2002. Mr. Doede has also voluntarily deferred approximately $14,000 of his wages. This amount is included in accrued compensation and related costs in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
    Max A. Coon, Secretary and Vice Chairman of the Board of Integral Vision, advanced the Company $70,000 to address short term capital needs. The advance from Mr. Coon was repaid in 2003.

Note N – Market for the Company’s Common Stock

    The Company’s common stock was moved to the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) effective with its delisting from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market with the open of business August 16, 2001. The Company was informed by Nasdaq that the delisting was decided by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications panel which approved the Nasdaq’s staff decision to delist the stock due to its failing to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days as required by Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) for continued listing.
 
    Information on the current quotes on the stock, which will continue to use the ticker symbol INVI, are available at the OTCBB’s website, www.otcbb.com and most financial information portals, such as that provided at http://finance.yahoo.com or http://quote.bloomberg.com. Integral Vision expects to continue to provide information through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as required for continued listing on the OTCBB. These filings can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Note O – Going Concern Matters

    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 consolidated financial statements, during 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company incurred losses from operations of $1.9 million, $2.2 million, and $8.1 million, respectively. The continuing losses, in addition to working capital deficiencies, recurring reductions in product sales, and cash flow deficiencies, among other factors, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
    The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company’s anticipated cash provided by operating activities will not be sufficient to support the Company’s cash flow needs over the next twelve months. Additionally, at December 31, 2003, substantially all of the Company’s $412,000 in trade accounts payable was overdue, of which $62,000 was paid subsequent to December 31, 2003. The Company also has an estimated $386,000 in amounts owed to certain regulatory agencies. The Company is making monthly payments of approximately $6,300 to one of the regulatory agencies. At December 31, 2003, under the terms of the Company’s Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company could issue up to $4.0 million of senior debentures, which consists of Class 1 and Class 2 Notes. Class 2 Notes are working capital notes, are secured by accounts receivable of the Company, and are subordinated to the Class 1 Notes issued prior to April 16, 2002. In September 2003, the holders of all of the then outstanding Class 2 Notes agreed to modify the maturity dates of those Notes to April 30, 2004. In December 2003, certain of the Class 2 Notes were amended to have maturity dates of May 31, 2004. The purchasers of the Class 2 Notes receive warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock when the Note is repaid. 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 specified price which shall be approximately 150% of the recent fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of the issuance of the Class 2 Note. Based on their respective maturity dates, the number of common shares that could be purchased with Class 2 warrants is estimated to be 486,000. There was approximately $2.8 million in principal and interest due to the Class 1 Note holders at December 31, 2003. In August 2003, the holders of those Notes agreed to a modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement that increased the maximum amount of the Notes outstanding to $4.0 million and created a new Class 3 Note which is convertible into Integral Vision, Inc. common stock at a conversion rate set by the Company’s board of directors at the date of issuance. No Class 3 Notes were issued, however. Class 1 Notes issued have maturities of up to four years, an interest rate of 10%, and the purchasers of the Notes receive warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock (see Note A to consolidated financial statements). The value assigned to warrants is included in additional paid-in capital and the discount is amortized over the life of the note. Additionally, the directors will determine the conversion rate at the date of issuance, subject to change in the event additional shares are issued in the future. In March 2004, the holders of the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes agreed to an additional modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The maturity date on substantially all of the outstanding Class 2 Notes was extended to December 31, 2005. Principal and interest due on the Class 2 notes on December 31, 2005 is projected to be approximately $1.2 million. The terms of the Class 1 Notes were changed such that all accrued interest (projected to be approximately $425,000) would be due on June 30, 2004. Additionally, the first principal payments (projected to be approximately $176,000) on the Class 1 Notes would be due on June 30, 2004. However, the amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement provides that, if the Company’s shareholders approve management’s proposal to increase the Company’s authorized stock to 31,000,000 at the Company’s annual meeting of its shareholders to be held on May 6, 2004, the following will occur:

46


Table of Contents

    The accrued interest on outstanding Class 1 Notes as of December 31, 2003 in the amount of approximately $313,418 will be exchanged for new Class 3 Notes due July 3, 2006 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.
 
    The initial interest payment due on Class 1 Notes for interest accruing after December 31, 2003 will be due April 1, 2005.
 
    Quarterly principal payments on Class 1 Notes would be eliminated, with all principal due at maturity.
 
    $330,000 of principal on Class 1 Notes issued prior to April 16, 2002 will be exchanged for Class 3 Notes due February 27, 2007 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.
 
    Class 2 Notes outstanding at February 29, 2004, plus interest then accrued, may be exchanged for Class 3 Notes due December 31, 2005 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.

    Management is projecting a cash shortfall over the next twelve months of approximately $70,000. Management plans to seek additional investors of its debentures to cover the anticipated shortfall, which would bring the amount of debentures outstanding to $1.7 million. Additionally, if necessary, Management would attempt to obtain any additional cash needed to enable the Company to continue as a going concern through possible joint ventures and other strategic alliances. Additional financing may or may not be available through banks. There can be no assurance that Management will be able to successfully execute these plans before the Company has exhausted all of its resources. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments. If any, that may ultimately be needed if the Company is unable to continue operating as a going concern, have been made in these consolidated financial statements.

Note P – Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

    In June 2002, Integral Vision, Inc. wrote-off as uncollectible an inter-company receivable due from Integral Vision Ltd., its subsidiary in the United Kingdom. As the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of both entities, upon consolidation, the charge recorded by Integral Vision, Inc., approximately $3.1 million, was eliminated against the gain recorded by Integral Vision Ltd. However, previously unrecognized losses that resulted from foreign currency translation adjustments were recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and totaled approximately $208,000.

Note Q – Off Balance Sheet Risk

    A claim has been made against the Company citing unpaid royalties totaling $107,000. Management is still researching the claim but does not believe that the Company will ultimately be found to be liable to the claimant.

Note R – Subsequent Events

    Subsequent to December 31, 2003, $250,000 of Class 2 Notes were placed. The holders of these Notes will receive warrants when their notes are paid off, the amount of which will be determined at the pay off date (See discussion in Note C). Also subsequent to December 31, 2003, $193,000 of Class 3 Notes were placed. These Notes are due April 1, 2008 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share for $100,000 of the Class 3 Notes and $1.25 for $93,000 of the Class 3 Notes. Finally, subsequent to December 31, 2003, Class 1 Notes totaling $827,500 were canceled as payment for the exercise of warrants to purchase 3,310,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

    In March 2004, the holders of the Class 1 and Class 2 Notes agreed to an additional modification to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The maturity date on substantially all of the outstanding Class 2 Notes was extended to December 31, 2005.

    Principal and interest due on the Class 2 notes on December 31, 2005 is projected to be approximately $1.2 million. The terms of the Class 1 Notes were changed such that all accrued interest (projected to be approximately $425,000) would be due on June 30, 2004. Additionally, the first principal payments (projected to be approximately $176,000) on the Class 1 Notes would be due on June 30, 2004.

    The accrued interest on outstanding Class 1 Notes as of December 31, 2003 in the amount of approximately $313,418 will be exchanged for new Class 3 Notes due July 3, 2006 with interest at 8% payable semi-annually beginning April 1, 2005 and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share.
 
    The initial interest payment due on Class 1 Notes for interest accruing after December 31, 2003 will be due April 1, 2005.
 
    Quarterly principal payments on Class 1 Notes would be eliminated, with all principal due at maturity.

    The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the additional modification to the Amended Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, including the conversion price of $0.75 per share for Class 3 Notes to be issued as described above. On the modification date, the market price of the Company’s common stock was approximately $1.50 per share. The Board felt the $0.75 conversion price was justified given the concessions received in connection with the debt, the fact that the shares are restricted, and other factors.
