Reiterates $6 Million 2018 Revenue Target

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ, October 1, 2018 – Nephros, Inc. (OTCQB: NEPH), a commercial stage medical device company that develops and sells high performance liquid purification ultrafilters, today announced preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2018.

Nephros expects product revenue for the quarter to be approximately $1.7 million, which represents a 102% increase over the same period in 2017.

“There has been a dramatic increase in the awareness of water safety over the last few years,” said Daron Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our focus on consultation and rapid responsiveness enables our customers to achieve measurable performance improvement from our products.

Nephros ended the quarter with approximately $5.2 million in cash on a consolidated basis.
