Note C - Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Incomplete
Contracts
Revenues on long-term contracts are recognized using the percentage of
completion method.  The effects of changes to estimated total contract costs
are recognized in the period determined and losses, if any, are recognized
fully when identified.  Costs incurred and earnings recognized in excess of
amounts billed are classified under current assets as costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on incomplete contracts.  Long-term contracts
include a relatively high percentage of engineering costs and are generally
less than one year in duration.

The revolving notes payable to bank has a maximum balance of $16,000,000
($727,000 available at September 30, 1996) based on eligible accounts
receivable and inventory as defined.  This note expires August 31, 1998 and has
advances which bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at September 30,
1996 and 8.5% at December 31, 1995).  In connection with this note, as amended,
the Company has agreed, among other covenants, to maintain net worth and debt
to equity, as defined, at specified levels.

The Company has two term notes payable to bank.  One is payable in quarterly
installments of $62,500 plus interest at the bank's prime rate, with the
balance becoming due June 29, 1998.  The second note is payable in monthly
installments of $14,111 plus interest at the bank's prime rate or other rates
made available under the terms of the agreement, with the balance becoming due
September 30, 2000.  The notes are collateralized by the Medar office and
production facilities in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and machinery and
equipment, inventory and accounts receivable at all North American locations.

The patent license payable relates to future payments to be made to Square D
Company related to the settlement of patent litigation.  The payments are due
in ten equal installments and have been discounted at 8%.

The fair values of these financial instruments approximates their carrying
amounts at September 30, 1996.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of  Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to September 30, 1995.

Net sales increased to $13.7 million from $9.8 million (40%).  The increase was
the result of a 57% increase in  revenues from welding control products and a
7% increase in revenues from vision systems.  The increase in welding control
revenues was related to the fulfillment of a large order received from one of
the Company's major customers combined with strong demand in general for the
Company's welding control products.  Although vision systems revenues increased
modestly, the market for the Company's products is believed to have been
negatively effected by the delay in the introduction of DVD technology and by a
flatening of the upward sales growth curve of audio discs.

Cost of sales increased to $9.9 million from $7.7 million; however, as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 72.0% from 78%.  The decrease in costs of
sales as a percentage of sales principally resulted from higher overhead
absorption related to greater production activity during the quarter.

Sales backlog for the Company at September 30, 1996 was $7.2 million, compared
to $13.7 million at September 30, 1995.  The level of backlog has decreased
during 1996 as revenues were recognized on the fulfillment of the large welding
control order discussed in the first paragraph.

Marketing expenses decreased to $1.1 million from $1.2 million and as a
percentage of sales decreased to 8.2% from 12.1%. The dollar decrease reflects
a combination of a decrease in marketing expenses for existing products offset
by increases in expenditures related to the introduction of VisionBlox.  The
percentage decrease reflects the high level of revenue recognized during the
period.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $0.9 million from $1.0 million
and as a percentage of sales to 6.3% from 9.9%.  The dollar decrease reflects
better control of these expenditures.  The percentage decrease reflects the
relatively fixed nature of these expenses.

Research and development expenses increased to $0.8 million from $0.5 million
and as a percentage of sales increased to 6% from 5.1%.  Expenditures in 1996
are primarily related to development of new disc inspection systems (including
DVD and recordable) and a new midfrequency welding control.

Net interest expense increased to $0.4 million from $0.1 million and as a
percentage of net sales to 2.9% from 1.2%.  The increase was the result of
increased debt in 1996.  There was more activity on the revolving note with the
bank, and one of the term notes and patent license payable were not added until
the fourth quarter of 1995.

The tax credit in 1995 is related to the operating loss reported in that
period.  The tax expense in 1996 is alternative minimum tax.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to September  30, 1995.

Net sales increased to $36.2 million from $32.3 million (12%).  The increase
was the result of a 25% increase in revenues from welding control products and
a 6% decrease in revenues from vision systems.  The increase in welding control
revenues was related to the fulfillment of a large order from one of the
Company's major customers combined with strong demand in general for the
Company's welding control products. The decrease in revenues from vision
systems is believed to related to the delay of introduction of DVD technology
and by the flatening of the upward sales growth curve of audio discs.

Cost of sales increased to $24.9 million from $22.6 million; however, as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 69% from 70%.  The decrease in costs of
sales as a percentage of sales principally resulted from higher overhead
absorption related to greater production activity.

Marketing expenses decreased to $3.3 million from $3.4 million and as a
percentage of sales to 9% from 10.5%.  The increase reflects a combination of a
decrease in marketing expenses for existing products offset by increases in
expenditures related to the introduction of VisionBlox.  The percentage
decrease reflects the high level of revenue recognized during the period.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $2.4 million from $2.5 million
and as a percentage of sales to 6.6% from 7.9%. The dollar decrease reflects
little change in expenditures.  The percentage decrease reflects the relatively
fixed nature of these expenses.

Research and development expenditures increased to $2.7 million from $1.2
million and as a percentage of net sales to 7.6% from 3.6%.  Expenditures in
1996 are primarily related to development of new disc inspection systems and a
new midfrequency welding control.

Net interest expense increased to $1.0 million from $0.2 million and as a
percentage of net sales to 2.7% from 0.7%.  The increase was the result of
increased debt in 1996.  There was more activity on the revolving note with the
bank, and one of the term notes and patent license payable were not added until
the fourth quarter of 1995.

The tax credit in 1995 is related to the operating loss reporting in that
period.  The tax expense in 1996 is alternative minimum tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a revolving note payable to its bank with a maximum balance of
$16,000,000 ($727,000 available at September 30, 1996) based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory, as defined.  This note expires August 31,
1998 and has advances which bear interest at the bank's prime rate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company utilized cash
generated from operations, the increase in accounts payable and the revolving
note payable to bank, and cash on hand at December 31, 1995 to fund increases
in accounts receivable, inventories, and costs and estimated earnings in excess
of billings on incomplete contracts, the purchase of property and equipment,
and investments in capitalized software.

The Company believes that current financial resources (working capital and its
ability to obtain additional financing, if needed),  together with cash
generated from operations, will be adequate to meet known cash requirements.

No significant commitments for capital expenditures existed as of  September
30, 1996.  The company expects to capitalize approximately $3,600,000 of
software development costs in 1996 and has no other plans for any significant
capital expenditures.

                              FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
                      REVOLVING CREDIT AND LOAN AGREEMENT

     This FOURTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AND LOAN AGREEMENT ("Fourth
Amendment") is dated as of August 11, 1996, and is among MEDAR, INC., a
Michigan corporation (the "Company"), INTEGRAL VISION-AID, INC., a Michigan

corporation, formerly known as Automatic Inspection Devices, Inc.), and
INTEGRAL VISION LTD., a corporation established under the laws of the United
Kingdom ("Integral"), as Borrowers, and NBD BANK, a Michigan banking
corporation ("NBD").  This Fourth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit and
Loan Agreement dated as of August 10, 1995 (as amended, the "Loan Agreement"),
as amended by the First Amendment to Revolving Credit and Loan Agreement dated
October 12, 1995 (the "First Amendment"), the Second Amendment to Revolving
Credit and Loan Agreement dated October 31, 1995 (the "Second Amendment"), and
the Third Amendment to Revolving Credit and Loan Agreement dated as of March
29, 1996 ("Third Amendment"), among the Company, AID, Integral and NBD.  The
Company, AID and Integral are collectively referred to as the "Borrowers" and
individually as a "Borrower".  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
Fourth Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that NBD advance sums in excess of
the current Borrowing Base in order to build inventory for new orders and that
the authorization for equipment loans be increased, and NBD has agreed that it
will make such changes pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Fourth
Amendment.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
      adequacy of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Revised Definition.

        The following definition contained in Section 1.1 of the Loan 
Agreement, as amended, is hereby amended effective August 11, 1996 to read as
follows:

      "Borrowing Base" means the sum of the following:


           (a) 80% of the book value of Eligible Accounts Receivables of the
      Borrowers and Guarantor; plus

           (b) 40% of the lower of costs or market value of Eligible Inventory
      of the Borrowers and Guarantor for calculations on or prior to December
      30, 1996 and decreasing to 25% of the lower of costs or market value of
      Eligible Inventory of the Borrowers and Guarantor for calculations on and
      after December 31, 1996.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will
      the amount advanced against Eligible Inventory exceed $7,000,000 for
      calculations on or prior to December 30, 1996 and $5,000,000 for
      calculations on or after December 31, 1996, plus




                                      17
<PAGE>   2


           (c) $3,000,000 for calculations on or after August 11, 1996, but
      prior to January 31, 1997, $2,000,000 for calculations on or after
      January 31, 1997, but prior to July 31, 1997, and $0 for calculations on
      and after July 31, 1997.

      2.     Equipment Loans.  Section 2.4(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby
amended effective August 11, 1996, to read in its entirety as follows:

      (a) Request for Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement and at the sole discretion of NBD before July 31, 1997, NBD may
      extend term loans to, or enter into leases or conditional sales contracts
      with, either the Company or AID in a total amount not to exceed $750,000
      to be used for the acquisition of equipment.  All requests under this
      Section 2.4 must be submitted in writing to NBD, together with all
      information reasonably requested by NBD with respect to the equipment to
      be acquired.

      3. Conditions.  Notwithstanding any other term of this Fourth Amendment or
the Loan Agreement, NBD will not be required to give effect to this Fourth
Amendment unless the following conditions have been met:

         (a) NBD shall have received an amendment fee of $60,000 from the 
Borrowers prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Fourth Amendment.  The amendment fee is in addition to all interest and
fees otherwise payable to NBD and will be deemed to be fully earned upon
execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment.

         (b) NBD shall have received a fully executed copy of this Fourth
Amendment.

         (c) All of the terms and conditions in Section 3.7 of the Loan 
Agreement continue to be met.

      4. Reaffirmation of Loan Agreement; Conflicts.  The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the terms and provisions of this Fourth Amendment,
amend, add to and constitute a part of the Loan Agreement.  Except as expressly
modified and amended by the terms of this Fourth Amendment, all of the other
terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and all of the documents executed in
connection therewith or referred to or incorporated therein, remain in full
force and effect and are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.  AID
specifically acknowledges and agrees that as successor by merger to Integral
Vision-AID, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Ohio AID"), it has assumed all the
liabilities and obligations of Ohio AID to NBD, and that it is a party to, and
is liable and obligated under, the Loan Agreement and all of the documents and
instruments executed by Ohio AID in favor of NBD to the same extent as Ohio
AID.  If there is an express conflict between the terms of this Fourth
Amendment and the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any of the other agreements
or documents executed in connection therewith or referred to or incorporated
therein, the terms of this Fourth Amendment shall govern and control.  Any
reference in any other document or agreement to the Loan Agreement shall
hereafter refer to the Loan Agreement as amended by this Fourth Amendment.

     5. Representations True.  The representations and warranties of the 
Borrowers contained in the Loan Agreement are true on the date hereof and
there does not exist any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

     6. Expenses.  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Borrowers will pay
all attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket costs of NBD in connection with or with
respect to this Fourth Amendment and the conditions set forth herein.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers and NBD have executed the foregoing
document by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first written
above.
