Item 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
             On January 14, 2009, Nephros, Inc. announced that on January 8, 2009 we received a letter from NYSE Alternext US LLC (formerly, the American Stock Exchange or “AMEX”) regarding AMEX’s intention to delist our common stock due to noncompliance with the following listing standards contained in the AMEX Company Guide:
 
·  
Section 1003(a)(iii), which states AMEX will normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, securities of an issuer which has stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 if such issuer has sustained net losses in its five most recent fiscal years;
·  
Section 1003(a)(ii), which states AMEX will normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, securities of an issuer which has stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 if such issuer has sustained net losses in its three of its four most recent fiscal years; and
·  
Section 1003(f)(v), which states AMEX will normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, common stock that sells for a substantial period of time at a low price per share.
 
Given the turmoil in the capital markets, we have decided to not seek an appeal of AMEX’s intention to delist our common stock.  We have identified a market maker who has agreed to apply for the registration and quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, which we would expect to be effective immediately after the delisting from AMEX.
 
            We expect that the delisting of our common stock would be effective in the first half of February 2009.
 
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
