The Company has filed this amendment to its 10-K, filed on March 29, 2000, to include an audit opinion issued by its former auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, covering the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. In addition, due to the inclusion of the second audit opinion, our current auditors reissued their opinion letter, which is also included in this amendment. The list of financial statements, Item 14(a)(1), was adjusted to reflect the inclusion of the additional opinion. Because there were no changes to any of the exhibits, the exhibits were not included with this filing. Due to the fact that they are included in the listing of exhibits, Item 14(a)(3), there was an annotation added to note that these exhibits were included in our originally filed 10-K. Other than the previously discussed changes, there were no other changes to the original filing.

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, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity 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 1999 as listed in the accompanying index at ITEM 14(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 financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 1999 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, 1999 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for 1999, 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.

Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integral Vision, Inc. (Formerly Medar, Inc.)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Integral Vision, Inc. (formerly Medar, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998. Our audits included the amounts in the financial statement schedule listed in the index at ITEM 14(a) for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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. (formerly Medar, Inc.) and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the amounts in the related financial statement schedule for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information contained therein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note D to the 1998 financial statements, as a result of recurring operating losses the Company has violated the provisions of certain of its loan agreements with regard to levels of tangible net worth. Consequently the revolver and term notes with the Bank, all mature in June 1999. The Company is currently exploring alternatives for financing its operations should the Bank elect not to extend the agreement. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are more fully described in Note D. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Integral Vision, Inc. and Subsidiary

Note A — Significant Accounting Policies

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 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 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 financial statements of Integral Vision LTD are 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 and are not significant.

Accounts Receivable

 
Trade accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from equipment manufacturers and end-users in North America, Asia and Europe.

Inventories

 
Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market, and at December 31 consisted of the following (net of obsolescence reserve of $2,100,000 in 1999 and $300,000 in 1998):
                         
1999 1998


(in thousands)
Raw materials $ 1,502 $ 3,587
Work in process 218 260
Finished goods 275 329


$ 1,995 $ 4,176


13


 
In 1999, $1.5 million was charged to direct costs of sales to set up an additional obsolescence reserve as a result of the review of the marketability of remaining inventory related to a previously discontinued product line. In 1998, management decided to no longer sell inspection systems for the audio CD market, as a result $1.4 million was charged to direct costs of sales to write-off the inventory related to the discontinued product line. A reconciliation of gross margin as reported to gross margin from operations is presented in the table below.
                         
1999 1998 1997



(in thousands)
Net revenues $ 10,734 $ 9,434 $ 15,955
Gross margin as reported (105 ) 1,265 4,313
Adjustments to reconcile gross margin from operations:
Specific inventory adjustments 1,525 1,402



Gross margin from operations $ 1,420 $ 2,667 $ 4,313



Property and Equipment

 
Property and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Equipment capitalized under lease agreements and the related accumulated amortization is included in property and equipment. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Depreciation, including amortization of assets recorded under capital lease obligations, 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).

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 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. (See Note B.)
 
Amortization of the capitalized costs amounted to $1,182,000, $1,420,000, and $2,678,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Total accumulated amortization at December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $3,886,000 and $2,704,000, respectively.

Patents

 
Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization of $515,000 and $369,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Amortization of the patents amounted to $146,000, $120,000 and $100,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

14


Revenue Recognition

 
Revenues are recorded at the time services are performed or when products are shipped, except for long-term 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 year determined and losses, if any, are fully recognized when identified. Costs and estimated 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.

Income Taxes

 
Deferred income taxes are provided when necessary to recognize the effect of temporary differences between financial and income tax accounting related principally to contract revenues, depreciation and capitalized computer software development costs.

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.

Reclassifications

 
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior periods’ presentations to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Note B — Restructuring of Operations

 
Early in the second quarter of 1998, Management completed an evaluation of competitive conditions and product offerings in vision. A charge of $5,633,000 was recorded as of March 31, 1998 to give effect to the impairment of assets identified in this review. The charge consisted of $4,231,000 related to capitalized software development costs and $1,402,000 related to inventory (included in direct costs of sales).

Note C — Discontinued Operations

 
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. The interest bearing portion of the note, approximately $1.9 million, carries an interest rate approximating prime plus 1% and requires 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 matures on February 15, 2001. Additionally, in connection with the sale, Integral Vision entered into an agreement to provide certain services to the purchaser for a fee totaling $1.5 million, all of which was paid in cash. These services included use of the Company’s personnel, facilities and software.
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company resolved certain post closing adjustments with the purchaser of the former Welding Controls division which produced the additional gain of $2.1 million recognized in the quarter. Part of the resolution with the purchaser included an agreement to pay amounts that previously had been contingent on shipments to a certain customer. This accounted for approximately $1.5 million of this additional gain recorded.

Interest paid approximates interest expensed for the years presented.

Note F — 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.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards approximating $23,100,000 (expiring: $7,457,000 in 2010, $3,889,000 in 2011, $6,404,000 in 2012, and $5,350,000 in 2018) for tax purposes available to reduce taxable income of future periods and unused investment, alternative minimum tax, and research and development tax credits approximating $1,197,000 which expire through 2013. 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 decreased $1,143,000 in 1999 and increased $3,883,000 in 1998 and decreased $55,000 in 1997.

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 $30,000, $30,000, and $37,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

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 because, in management’s opinion, the models required to be used by FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” were not developed for use in valuing 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.
For purposes of proforma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. After adjusting for the proforma effect of stock compensation, the net income in 1999 is estimated to be $2,998,000 ($.33 per share), and the net loss in 1998 and 1997 was estimated to be $11,532,000 ($1.28 per share), and $470,000 ($.05 per share), respectively. In 1999 the assumptions used in determining the proforma disclosure was a risk free interest rate of 6.00%, no dividend yields, .85 market price volatility, and 7.8-year weighted average life of options. These proforma results reflect only stock options granted in 1995 through 1999 (no options were issued during 1998) 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.
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 all of which were outstanding at December 31, 1999.

Note J — Lease Commitments and Contingencies

 
The Company and its subsidiary use equipment and office space under long-term operating lease agreements requiring rental payments approximating $78,000 in 2000, $83,000 in 2001 and $80,000 in 2002 and $74,000 in 2003. Rent expense charged to operations approximated $65,000, $60,000, and $57,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Note K — Operations by Geographic Area

 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SAFS”) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, for the year ended December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131 established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate
