Wixom, MI (March 31, 2009) - Integral Vision, Inc. (OTC 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, 2008.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

"We enter 2009 with confidence and believe that this will be an excellent year for us," said Charles J. Drake, chairman and CEO of Integral Vision, Inc. "We are closing orders at a much higher rate than in prior years. This is the result of several long-term customers that are starting volume production of MEMS and e-paper displays. We expect orders to continue to ramp up as the year progresses. These emerging technologies are expected to grow because they are less expensive and more power efficient than conventional LCD displays. Yield management is an important component with new technologies, justifying thorough and accurate inspection."

FOURTH QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $536,000 compared to $590,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007, resulting in a loss for the quarter of $988,000 compared to $700,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007.

2008 YEAR-END FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenue for fiscal 2008 decreased to $1,027,000 from $1,151,000 for fiscal 2007. The company lost $10.73 million, or $0.36 per share, in 2008 compared with a loss of $3.04 million, or $0.10 per share, in 2007. The company's loss in 2008 consisted of an operating loss of $2,981,000 and a charge of $7,750,000. The $7,750,000 charge is primarily related to the issuance of warrants to investors.

2008 gross margin percentage of 42 percent increased from 22 percent of sales in 2007. "We are pleased with the improvement in gross margins in 2008, and expect further improvement in 2009," Drake said.

Commenting on the balance sheet, Drake noted, "While cash on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was $144,000, the Company has received an additional $989,733 in working capital year-to-date. With increased collections and accounts receivables, we expect our outside cash needs to decrease from this point forward."
