At the close, Oculus Innovative ( OCLS) was up $0.02 (2.6%) to $0.79 on light volume. Throughout the day, 101,761 shares of Oculus Innovative exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 142,200 shares. The stock ranged in a price between $0.76-$0.82 after having opened the day at $0.77 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $0.77.
Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. Oculus Innovative has a market cap of $7.0 million and is part of the health care sector. Shares are down 46.1% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Thursday. Currently there is 1 analyst who rates Oculus Innovative a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and none rate it a hold.
TheStreet Ratings rates Oculus Innovative as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and weak operating cash flow.
The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Pharmaceuticals industry. The net income increased by 48.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$1.40 million to -$0.72 million.
OCLS's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.00 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.28, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
The gross profit margin for OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES is rather high; currently it is at 54.20%. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, OCLS's net profit margin of -21.99% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
OCLS's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 77.47%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
Net operating cash flow has decreased to -$1.66 million or 19.04% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite a decrease in cash flow OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES is still fairing well by exceeding its industry average cash flow growth rate of -40.76%.
Response Genetics ( RGDX) was another company that pushed the Health Services industry higher today. Response Genetics was up $0.01 (2.5%) to $0.43 on average volume. Throughout the day, 234,289 shares of Response Genetics exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 167,800 shares. The stock ranged in a price between $0.42-$0.48 after having opened the day at $0.44 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $0.42.
Response Genetics, Inc., a life science company, is engaged in the research, development, marketing, and sale of pharmacogenomic tests for use in the treatment of cancer primarily in the United States, Asia, and Europe. Response Genetics has a market cap of $17.4 million and is part of the health care sector. Shares are up 41.5% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Thursday. Currently there are no analysts who rate Response Genetics a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and none rate it a hold.
TheStreet Ratings rates Response Genetics as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow, generally high debt management risk and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself.
The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Life Sciences Tools & Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 34.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$2.72 million to -$3.64 million.
Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Life Sciences Tools & Services industry and the overall market, RESPONSE GENETICS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$4.30 million or 63.57% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 4.80 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Despite the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, the company has managed to keep a very strong quick ratio of 2.74, which shows the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
Looking at the price performance of RGDX's shares over the past 12 months, there is not much good news to report: the stock is down 74.53%, and it has underformed the S&P 500 Index. In addition, the company's earnings per share are lower today than the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
Jammu and Kashmir Police has detained several over-ground workers (OGWs) for interrogation in connection with the killing of an RSS leader and his PSO in Kishtwar district, a senior officer said Thursday.
Chanderkant Sharma (52), a senior RSS functionary and his security guard were killed on Tuesday when a militant opened fire at a health centre in Kishtwar town, prompting authorities to impose a curfew in the communally sensitive region.
"We have picked up some people, commonly known as over-ground workers. We suspect their involvement. They are being interrogated," Inspector General of Police (IGP), Jammu Zone, M K Sinha, told reporters here.
"An operation is on (to track down the terrorist involved in the attack). The person has not been identified so far. We are trying to identify him," he said.
Asked about the weapon used in the attack, the IGP said it appeared that it had been hidden inside Kishtwar only.
Sinha said security had been beefed up in Kishtwar and the curfew remained in force.

Kaukauna Ghosts wrestler Zach Lee wins title at 170 pounds at Cheesehead Invitational, while Kaukauna takes seventh place as a team.
KAUKAUNA – Zach Lee won an individual championship to lead the Kaukauna wrestling team to a seventh-place finish at the Cheesehead Invitational on Saturday.
Kaukauna placed seventh with 361 points in the 20th annual event. Montini Catholic (Ill.) finished first with 806 points, while Freedom placed 21st with 222 and Wrightstown placed 26th with 132.5 points.
“We’re kind of where we projected ourselves to be, somewhere in that top 10,” Kaukauna coach Jeff Matczak said. “We have to learn from it and move on, on the top end with three men in the finals.
While three Kaukauna wrestlers made it to the finals, Lee was the only one to win with an 8-2 victory over Tony Watts of Apple Valley (Minn) at 170 pounds.
In the 285-pound weight class, top-ranked Gable Steveson of Apple Valley won by an 18-6 major decision over Kaukauna’s Keaton Kluever in the title match.
“Being able to come this far and take second is a huge accomplishment for me,” Kluever said. “I’ve wrestled him before. His hands are just so heavy.
Kluever was on the mat wrestling against Steveson for over six minutes.
Kaukauna’s Bryson Alsteen made it to the championship match at 182 pounds before falling to Jared Krattiger of Waterford by technical fall (21-6).
Kaukauna will have several conference dual meets before the WIAA postseason begins, which allows for some growth yet.

Everyone's seen the top line for Microsoft's first quarter, and, coming as it did a day after the Windows 7 launch, Wall Street was impressed.
It's nice to see the stock rewarded, given how Microsoft for years delivered insane growth year after year and never got any kind of stock bounce. I used to somewhat buy the argument that Wall Street traders knew what they were doing when they valued Microsoft stock as flat despite constant revenue and profit growth. After the last year, though, I lost all confidence that the market ever had any idea what any company is really worth.
Of course, here at RCPU, we don't care so much what Wall Street thinks as for what's revealed for partners by the financial reports. With that in mind, we've done our usual close read of the Microsoft quarterly report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Microsoft Dynamics revenues declined 6 percent in the first quarter, compared to the year-ago period. This is especially interesting because it's the first time Microsoft has talked about Dynamics revenues. In the past, Microsoft used the vague phrasing "Dynamics customer billings," which we could never get anyone to define. Last year, such billings were up 10 percent in the July through September quarter, down 7 percent in the October through December quarter, down 8 percent for the January through March quarter, and off 7 percent for the full fiscal year that ended in July.
The upshot: It's still extremely tough out there on the Dynamics front. It's hard to say, given the change in reporting from billings to revenues, though, whether the 6 percent revenue drop points to a sequential improvement over whatever the fourth quarter drop in billings were, or not. In all, this is a positive reporting change toward a tangible figure. Next, maybe Microsoft could say what Dynamics revenues actually are in dollar terms?
The segment of the channel that's occasionally worried about competition from Microsoft Consulting Services may get some relief from this data point from the 10-Q: There was a "decline in demand for consulting services." The amount wasn't specified, but the decline was cited to explain a decrease in cost of revenue of $69 million in the Server and Tools business unit.
Microsoft estimates that worldwide PC shipments from all sources for the July 1 to Sept. 30 period were somewhere between flat and 2 percent growth. Hey, flat is the new up.
OEM revenues dropped $207 million, or 6 percent, and that's counting the otherwise deferred revenues associated with Windows 7. Part of the reason for the dip in OEM revenues (which account for about 80 percent of Windows Division revenue) is an 8 percentage point decline in the OEM premium mix to 63 percent. According to the report, that's "primarily driven by growth of licenses related to sales of netbook PCs, a decline in premium editions sold to business customers, and changes in geographic mix."
Server and tools revenue was impressively flat, with an improvement in operating income of a whopping 23 percent. Inside those numbers, Windows Server and developer tools revenues were declining, while Enterprise CAL Suites and System Center revenues went up.
The military has a language all its own. Here's just a sampling of the common abbreviations, acronyms and phrases you're likely to hear around Fort Bragg and Pope Field.
ACU: Army Combat Uniform. ACUs replaced the woodland green and desert tan battle dress uniforms known as BDUs. Currently featuring a digital print, ACUs are what you'll see most soldiers wearing most days on post.
ASU: Army Service Uniform. Blue with a white shirt. You'll see ASUs worn at formal functions, events where business attire would be appropriate and on days with payday activities. ASUs replace the green Class A uniforms that are being phased out before the end of 2014.
BAH: Basic Allowance for Housing. Money that servicemen receive to offset housing costs when living off an installation.
BCT: Brigade combat team. The Army's primary fighting force, usually 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers.
BRAC: The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure law that moved Forces Command and U.S. Army Reserve Command to Fort Bragg from Atlanta.
BUB and CUB: Battle update briefing (pronounced "bub") and commander update briefing (pronounced "cub").
C-130: The Air Force's primary short-haul cargo airplane.
C-17: The Air Force's primary long-haul airplane.
Class Six: This is the term for spots on post where you can buy liquor. They're called this because the Army divides supplies into classes. Ammunition, for example, is Class V. Liquor is one of the personal items covered by Class VI. For unrelated reasons, "six" also is often used to refer to the officer in charge of any given unit. And "watch your six" can mean "watch your back" as in your six o'clock position on the clock.
DFAC: Dining facility. Pronounced "D-Fac."
ETS: Expiration of term of service. This is when a person leaves the military.
FOB: Forward operating base. A small military location, sometimes with an airfield, away from the main base.
FRACU: Flame resistant army combat uniform, often pronounced "Frac-U." If soldiers are wearing FRACUs around post these days, it most likely means they've just returned from a deployment or are gearing up for one. FRACUs are made from a different fabric and have a different pattern than ACUs.
ISAF: NATO's International Security Assistance Force. Folks who deploy to Afghanistan work for this organization.
JOAX: Joint operational access exercise. Pronounced "Jo-Ax."
JSOC: Joint Special Operations Command. Pronounced "J-Soc." The Fort Bragg headquarters for the Defense Department's counter-terrorist forces.
LES: Leave and earnings statement. This is a monthly report of pay for military duty and vacation time.
MEB: When you pronounce it "M-E-B" you're probably talking about the Medical Evaluation Board, which determines whether soldiers' medical conditions will allow them to continue to serve. Pronounce it "meb" and you're probably talking about a maneuver enhancement brigade.
MOS: Military occupational specialty. If you've got a job in the Army there's a combination of letters and numbers to describe it. An animal care specialist, for example, is a "68T," a combat engineer is a "21B" and an infantryman is an "11B."
OER: Officer Evaluation reports. They're report cards of sorts. But instead of an "A" an officer might be hoping to receive a "top block." A noncommissioned officer gets an NCOER.
PCS: Permanent change of station is when a military person moves to the next duty assignment. Instead of saying, "I'm moving," they say, "I'm PCSing."
PX: Post Exchange, where consumer goods and services can be found on an installation.
SCP: The civilian world might call something a system update. On Fort Bragg they'll call it a SCP, pronounced "skip," for software change package.
SWCS: John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School on Fort Bragg.
T-11: The military's new square personnel parachute.
TDY: Temporary duty. A soldier taking a short-term trip for military business. For example, "He's gone TDY."
TMP: This actually stands for troop motor pool. But if you hear soldiers using it in conversation, they may be referring to a particular van from the motor pool.
USARC: U.S. Army Reserve Command.
USASOC: U.S. Army Special Operations Command. The Fort Bragg headquarters for Special Forces, Rangers, civil affairs, psychological operations and special operations aviation units around the U.S.
"V" device: An attachment to an award indicating valor.
WAMC: Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg.
WTB: The Warrior Transition Battalion. Provides command and care for soldiers who have suffered injury or illness.
Joe Clark's assignment: Write a foreign policy review paper. The paper was promised soon after the Conservatives took office last September. That's when Clark started working on it. And working on it. And working on it. Weeks turned into months as the paper went through several drafts and an unknown amount of editing. At long last: The "green paper" will be submitted to the Commons today. The document will cover issues from foreign trade and peacekeeping troops to Canada's international role. Note: A green paper is meant to spur discussion and does not set policy.
The Winchester Star reports that Ryan Sutter is spending this weekend acting as marshal of the 76th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival’s Firefighters’ Parade in Winchester, Virginia. Trista, on the other hand, is in New York City taping an episode of Oprah.
If we DO see any reports of a joint appearance in the near future, we'll pass them along. If we con't ... you all can figure out what that means.
Casting information: 'The Bachelor 4' focuses on ... water polo players?
Former East Carolina standout running back Chris Johnson waves to the crowd at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium during halftime against Houston. Oct. 13, 2018.
It was easy to think back to East Carolina football’s successful run in Conference USA during Saturday night’s game against Houston at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
The first reminder was Houston being the visiting team. The Cougars occupied the same visiting sideline Dec. 5, 2009, for a historical moment at Dowdy-Ficklen when the Pirates hosted the C-USA championship game and beat UH, 38-32, for their second straight conference title.
Another reminder came when former Pirate star running back Chris Johnson was honored for being inducted into the ECU Hall of Fame.
Johnson played from 2004-07 and was a key player in the Pirates shedding the woeful John Thompson era (3-20 record in 2003-04) for a resurgence under coach Skip Holtz, who went to a bowl game in four out of five seasons from 2005-09 and won two Conference USA titles.
ECU is no longer a winner in its league. Furthermore, former C-USA teams have passed by the Pirates and moved to the forefront in the American Athletic Conference.
In 2009, East Carolina beat Memphis, UCF and Houston in the same season en route to winning C-USA. Those three teams are enjoying a combined 15-4 record this year, while the Pirates are seemingly stuck in their own way at the halfway point of the season at 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the AAC.
Houston’s 42-20 win on Saturday gave ECU an 11-24 all-time record in American games. It joined the league prior to the 2014 season.
Coach Scottie Montgomery is in his third season leading the Pirates and he is facing heat again after consecutive sluggish weeks in league play. He has a 3-16 career American record.
The Pirates’ previous coach, Ruffin McNeill, was 8-8.
Montgomery’s 3-16 mark is simply unacceptable for a proud ECU program, and it is getting noticed. The Pirates will likely not be favored in a game again until they host Connecticut, the team they are tied with for last place in the AAC East division, on Nov. 17.
ECU fans made a statement Saturday night with the announced attendance of 29,851 serving as the first Pirate home game since the finale of the 2005 season with a crowd of less than 30,000.
Attendance dropping as East Carolina is dropping AAC games is unfortunately a theme.
With Houston as the visitors and Johnson roaming the sideline, fans in the stands Saturday at least got to think back to ECU’s winning ways.
Johnson was a freshman in 2004 — Thompson’s final season — when the Pirates finished with a 2-9 record. As a senior, the speedy Johnson helped ECU finish the 2007 season with a thrilling Hawaii Bowl win over Boise State and an 8-5 record.
East Carolina then won consecutive C-USA crowns. Holtz and the Pirates were the kings of that league for a few years.
Now they are nowhere close to contending for a conference championship.
