<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; background-color: white">On May 21, 2012, Oculus Innovative Sciences,
Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (&ldquo;NASDAQ&rdquo;),
notifying the Company that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, it has failed to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2),
which requires the Company to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of $35 million for continued listing on the
NASDAQ Capital Market. The letter also noted that the Company did not meet the alternative requirements under Listing Rules 5550(b)(1)
or 5550(b)(3).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; background-color: white">In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C),
NASDAQ has granted the Company a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 19, 2012, to regain compliance with the Rule.
The Company may regain compliance with the Listing Rule at any time during this compliance period if its Market Value of Listed
Securities closes at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; background-color: white">The letter has no effect on the listing
or trading of the Company&rsquo;s common stock at this time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) or the other compliance alternatives under Listing Rule 5550(b). In the event the
Company does not regain compliance with the Listing Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written
notification that its securities are subject to delisting, at which time the Company may appeal the delisting determination to
a Hearings Panel.</P>
