WIXOM, Mich., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integral Vision,
Inc. (OTC:INVI) (BULLETIN BOARD: INVI) , a leading global supplier
of automated display inspection technology, today announced
financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007. Business Highlights -- Integral Vision is seeing
strong adoption of its automated inspection systems with a
significant customer base, which includes Samsung, Liquavista B.V.,
Plastic Logic, and a major MEMS display manufacturer. In addition,
a leading computer manufacturer recently specified the Company's
SharpEye(TM) system to be used by all of its suppliers of Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) displays. -- Integral Vision is gaining
considerable traction in Emerging Technologies: (i) MEMS
Technologies (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems), (ii) e-paper,
(iii) Roll-to-Roll production, (iv) LED Backlight for LCDs and, (v)
Organic Light Emitting Diodes or OLED. -- In 2007, the Company
announced the inauguration of the LumenEye(TM) photometric light
measurement system. LumenEye represents the first of a series of
products designed for Flat Panel Display (FPD) manufacturers to
inspect their FPD products for inherent Image Retention (Image
Sticking) defects. -- The Company's SharpEye inspection system
continued to gain traction in 2007 with strong customer adoption.
The SharpEye product provides analysis of functional and cosmetic
defects in the display to assure quality in the manufacturing
process. Integral Vision received orders for its SharpEye product
to be used for the production inspection of MEMS displays. --
Integral Vision announced the acceptance of a SharpEye system in
2007 from a multi-national technology company for engineering an
inspection system to be used on Roll-to-Roll equipment. This
equipment can be used for inspection of a variety of display
materials produced on a web. "We believe that 2008 will be a
breakout year for us," said Charles J. Drake, chairman and CEO of
Integral Vision, Inc. "We are seeing strong customer adoption of
our technology; and are currently working with a number of large
customers who are using our technologies to evaluate their
microdisplay production or are evaluating our technology for the
inspection of LCD displays and components. Specifically, -- Three
of our customers have made commitments to use significant
quantities of our inspection equipment. -- Two of these customers
are involved in new display technologies and are committed to major
production. -- And one of these customers is a leading computer
manufacturer that has recently specified our SharpEye system to be
used by virtually all of its suppliers of LCD displays, which
clearly translates into a substantial opportunity for Integral
Vision." Drake continued, "With the bookings already received in
the first quarter of 2008, we are assured of a revenue and gross
margin improvement over that of last year. This year alone we have
two different emerging display technologies that are in the
consumer market and gaining substantial traction, along with what
we see as significant sales for the mainstream LCD market."
"Automated inspection has become a necessity for manufacturers who
need to continually improve production efficiency to meet the
increasing demand for high quality products," concluded Drake. "Our
automatic inspection systems can inspect parts at a lower cycle
time and with greater repeatability than is possible with human
inspectors. Our vision and strategy is beginning to pay off, and we
believe that we are optimally positioned to capitalize on the
evolving quality requirements that are being established by global
display manufacturers." Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter was $590,000 compared to $75,000 in
the fourth quarter of 2006 resulting in a loss for the quarter of
$700,000 compared to $754,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006. 2007
Year-End Financial Results Total revenue for the year increased to
$1,151,000 from $835,000 for fiscal 2006. The company lost $3.04
million, or $0.10 per share, in 2007 compared with a loss of $2.97
million, or $0.10 per share, in 2006. 2007 gross margin percentage
of 22 percent increased from 11 percent of sales in 2006. "We
expect substantial improvement in gross margins in 2008," Drake
said. "With gains in manufacturing efficiencies and capacity
utilization, we anticipate that we would exit 2008 with gross
margins in the range of 45 - 50 percent." Commenting on the balance
sheet, Drake noted, "While cash on the balance sheet as of December
31, 2007 was $11,000, the Company has received an additional
$500,000 in working capital year-to-date, and we anticipate
receiving more working capital from certain of our investors going
forward." Drake concluded, "The value proposition of our automated
inspection systems is becoming increasingly evident, as top-tier
manufacturers adopt our technology. Our vision has always been
clear -- and remains so -- and we are gratified to see our
technology meeting the precise and technical demands of the display
market." "Three significant opportunities exist in 2008. -- A MEMS
customer whose planned expansion has the potential alone to make
the Company profitable for the next several years. This company
will spend significantly on equipment for this expansion. -- A
major computer-manufacturing customer that is making the use of our
system mandatory for all of their suppliers. -- The emergence of
e-paper and our ability to test these products much faster and more
accurately than manual inspection." "In addition, we also expect
contribution from inspection of OLED and web material in 2008. Our
confidence remains strong, and we anticipate a much improved year
in 2008." TO ACCESS THE LIVE CONFERENCE CALL Integral Vision will
