ITEM 3.01.		NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

  On November 19, 2008, we received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that we are not in compliance with their continued listing standards. This letter was sent because our stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2008 was less than the $10 million in stockholders’ equity required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3).  

The Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter affords us the opportunity to appeal the Staff’s decision by submitting a plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements before December 4, 2008. At this time, we intend to timely submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance.

Except for historical information herein, some matters set forth in this report are forward-looking within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about Oculus’ future expectations and its ability to meet the NASDAQ’s listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “provide,” “achieve,” “sustain,” “may,” and “intends,” among others. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We do not intend to update any of the forward- looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law. 

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
