Microcyn-Gel: This product expands upon the Microcyn liquid market, addressing the large topical ointment Analyst
and gel market. In addition to delivering an antimicrobial to inhibit pathogen growth, it maintains a moist (781) 749-0044
wound environment conducive to healing. Microcyn Gel is expected to be available for international channels in
late 2009.

Microcyn Delivery Device: This breakthrough technology is capable of monitoring a wound environment
and delivering Microcyn as needed; it also incorporates a vacuum process that transports away organic load,
lessening the need to clean and debride the wound. Oculus filed a patent for this product in June 2008, and
expects to achieve commercialization in early 2010.

Microcyn Technology also has the potential to address opportunities in the respiratory, podiatry, eye care,
dermatology and dental markets. Oculus is seeking and evaluating potential new partnerships in these areas.

The mechanism of action of oxychlorine compounds against single-cell organisms, due to their reactivity with
