ITEM 3.01  NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On October 16, 2006, Nestor, Inc. (the “Company”) the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter indicating that the market value of the Company’s common stock had fallen below $50 million, the minimum level required for the continued listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market based on Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A). Additionally, the Company does not comply with the alternative Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(B) which requires total assets and total revenue of $50 million each for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
 
In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(4), the Company has been provided with 30 calendar days, or until November 15, 2006, to regain compliance. If at anytime before November 15, 2006, the market value of the Company’s common stock is $50 million or more for at least ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq’s staff will determine if the Company complies with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing standards. The Company currently has 20,386,816 shares of common stock outstanding, In order to comply with the $50 million market value criteria, the Company's closing bid price must be $2.46 or greater. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by November 15, 2006, Nasdaq’s staff will provide the Company with written notification that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market. In that event, the Company may appeal the staff’s determination to a Listing Qualification Panel.
 
The Company believes that it currently satisfies the financial and other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market and, if it is unable to regain compliance with the continued listing standards for the Nasdaq Global Market, including any appeal, if made, intends to apply to transfer its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Any decision whether to approve the transfer of the Company’s listing of its common stock will be based on the Nasdaq staff’s review of the Company’s application. Listing on either Market will comply with the covenants on the Company’s outstanding convertible debt securities.
 
The Company issued a press release on October 17, 2006 describing the above events, a copy of which is included with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
