percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Officers,
directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To
our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended

shortly after the discovery of the inadvertent failure to have optionally reported the grant on an earlier Form 4.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In 2000 non-employee directors received a $25,000 annual retainer as compensation for their services as members of the Board. In addition, such
directors were reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with the performance of services as directors. Our non-employee directors also received $2,000 per day for each day of
consulting services rendered to us not in connection with their services as directors and grants of options to purchase common stock under our 1991 Equity Incentive Plan based on the amount of
consulting work performed for us during the year.

Aggregate
consulting fees earned by our non-employee directors were $188,000 in 2000. Ambassador Busby (who earned $120,000) was the only individual director who earned
consulting fees in excess of $60,000 in 2000. Ambassador Busby is a controlling shareholder of BGI which provided consulting services to us in 2000 in excess of $60,000. See "Certain Transactions." In

STOCK OPTION GRANTS AND EXERCISES

We grant options to our executive officers under our 1991 Equity Incentive Plan and 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2000, options to
purchase a total of 2,110,866 shares were outstanding under the 1991 Equity Incentive Plan and options to purchase a total of 58,500 shares were outstanding under our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. In
connection with the adoption of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, the Board determined not to grant any further options under the 1991 Equity Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2000, 1,067,537
shares remained available for grant under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan.

The
following table shows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, certain information regarding options granted to, and held at year end by, the Named Executive Officers.

The
exercise price of each option was equal to the fair market value of our common stock as valued by the Board of Directors on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in
cash, promissory notes, in shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the exercise date or through a cashless exercise procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchased
shares. The options granted vest as to 25% of the shares one year from the date of grant and 1/16th of the shares each quarter thereafter. Each of the options has a ten-year
term, subject to earlier termination if the optionee's service with us ceases.

The
potential realizable value is calculated based on the ten-year term of the option at the time of grant. Stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% is assumed pursuant to
rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not represent our prediction of our stock price performance. The potential realizable values at 5% and 10% appreciation are
calculated by assuming that the stock price on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated annual rate, compounded annually for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised and
sold on the last day of its term for the appreciated stock price.

Percentages
shown under "Percentage of Total Options Granted to Employees in 2000" are based on an aggregate of 1,328,631 options granted to employees, consultants and directors of
InVision under our stock option plans during 2000.

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR, AND FISCAL YEAR END OPTION VALUES

The following table sets forth information with respect to options exercised by the Names Executive Officers during 2000, the number of securities underlying
unexercised options held by the Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2000 and the value of unexercised in-the-money options as of December 31, 2000.

($1.4375) on December 29, 2000 as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market, less the exercise price, without taking into account any taxes that may be payable in connection with the transaction,
multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option, less the exercise price of the shares underlying the option.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

We have entered into employment agreements with Dr. Magistri and Messrs. Mattson, Mulholland and Pillor which provide for salaries and other
employment terms. These agreements each provide that if we terminate the employee's employment without cause, the employee is entitled to a severance payment equal to his annual base salary for six
months. All of the employment agreements are
terminable at the will of either the employee or us, with or without cause. In each case, termination by the employee requires sixty days notice to us.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During fiscal year 2000, Drs. Boyd and Lanzara and Ambassador Busby served as members of the compensation committee of our board of directors. The Compensation
Committee did not meet during 2000, and all compensation matters were handled by the Board. No member of the Board or compensation committee serves as a member of the board of directors or
compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

In August of 1996, we entered into a consulting agreement with BGI, Inc. ("BGI"), a Virginia-based international consulting firm engaged to assist us
with enhancing our methods, strategies and contacts, to support the marketing of the CTX Series explosive detection systems to the U.S. Government. In March 1998, Ambassador Busby, a
controlling shareholder of BGI, was elected to our Board of Directors. In 1999, we paid BGI $120,000 in consulting fees. In 2000, we paid BGI $120,000 in consulting fees, plus we recorded an expense
of $108,000 through the issuance of 20,468 shares of our Common Stock, including the cancellation of 6,586 previously granted options. We believe that the foregoing transaction was in its best
interest and was on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

We
have entered into indemnity agreements with certain of our officers and directors which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify such officer or director, under the
