Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Nephros, Inc. on October 3, 2007, covering events occurring on September 27, 2007. The filing addresses a regulatory compliance issue regarding the company's listing status on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).
Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On September 27, 2007, Nephros received a warning letter from the AMEX stating non-compliance with Section 121B(2)(c) of the Company Guide. This rule requires at least 50% of the Board of Directors to be independent. The non-compliance resulted from the resignation of four directors (William J. Fox, Judy Slotkin, W. Townsend Ziebold, and Howard Davis) on September 19, 2007, and the appointment of two new directors (Paul Mieyal and Arthur Amron). Consequently, the Board consists of five directors, only two of whom are independent.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Compliance Deadline: The AMEX has granted Nephros until December 26, 2007, to regain compliance with the independence requirements.
- Trading Symbol: Until compliance is officially confirmed, the company's common stock will trade under the symbol "NEP.BC".
- Management Plan: Nephros intends to fill the Board vacancy with a qualified independent director as soon as reasonably possible.
- Regulatory Status: The AMEX has determined not to apply continued listing evaluation and follow-up procedures at this time.
