Audit Committee

During the first part of fiscal year 2006, the Company’s audit committee comprised three Directors: Terry E. Fields, Albert H. Cox, Jr. and David N. Jordan. In the second part of 2006, the Company’s audit committee comprised Michael C. James, Clarence A. Davis and Nina R. Mitchell. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors on December 17, 2003 and amended on April 8, 2004. The Board of Directors determined that each member of the Audit Committee qualified as independent director during fiscal year 2006, as required by the Audit Committee Charter. In making this determination, the Board of Directors applied the independence criteria of Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rules and the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee met seven times in 2006.

In February of 2007, Mr. Davis resigned his position as member and Chairman of the Audit Committee because he was engaged by the Board as a consultant to the Company. As a result of his compensation for these consulting services, Mr. Davis no longer satisfied the independence requirements for membership on the Audit Committee and was therefore disqualified from service on the Audit Committee. Thodore Petroulas was elected by the Board to replace Mr. Davis on the Audit Committee and Michael C. James was elected by the Board to serve as Chairman.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board of Directors determined that the former Chairmen of the Audit Committee, Terry E. Fields and Clarence A. Davis, qualified as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” and that Terry E. Fields and, prior to his engagement by the Board as a consutant, Clarence A. Davis were “independent” of Nestor’s management under Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (“SEC Rule 10A-3”). Because Mr. Davis resigned his position as Chairman and member of the Audit Committee in February 2007, the Board appointed Michael C. James to serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Board has determined that Mr. James is “independent” of Nestor’s management under Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and SEC Rule 10A-3. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. James qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as defined under SEC rules.
 
The Audit Committee is responsible, among other things, for assisting the Board with oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements, including the integrity of the financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independence and qualifications of the Company’s auditor firm. The Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, terms of engagement and oversight of the work of the audit firm. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website a www.Nestor.com under “Investor Information.”

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a written code of ethics that applies to all employees, including but not limited to, its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of Nestor’s code of ethics is available without charge by writing to Nestor, Inc. 42 Oriental Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02908, Attention: Nigel P. Hebborn and on the Company’s website on the “Investor Information” page. Our website address is http://www.nestor.com.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, officers and holders of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Common Stock and any other equity securities of the Company. Except for a Form 4 filed on December 10, 2006 reporting a transaction that occurred on December 1, 2006 by William B. Danzell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to the Company’s knowledge, based solely upon a review of the forms, reports, and certificates furnished to the Company by such persons with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, all such reports with respect to such fiscal year were filed on a timely basis.
 
Procedure for Nominating Directors

The Company has a nominating committee comprising Daryl Silzer, Clarence A. Davis and David N. Jordan. The Nominating Committee identifies, evaluates and nominates director candidates for election at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders or to fill vacancies on the board of directors. The process followed by the Nominating Committee in fulfilling those responsibilities includes recommendations by board members and requests recommendations from others, meeting to discuss and evaluate biographical information, experience and other background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates. The Nominating Committee met three times in 2006. All members of the Nominating Committee other than Clarence A. Davis, are “independent” of the Company’s management under Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and SEC Rule 10A-3

In considering candidates, the Nominating Committee assesses, in its judgment, the relevant qualities possessed by the candidate, which include integrity; business acumen, experience and judgment; knowledge of the Company’s business and industry; ability to understand the interests of various constituencies of the Company and to act in the interests of all shareholders; potential conflicts of interest; and contribution to diversity on the board of directors. The Nominating Committee believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the Company’s directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant breadth of experience, knowledge and abilities that assist the board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities.

-5-

The Nominating Committee will consider candidates recommended by individual shareholders, if their names and credentials are provided to the Nominating Committee on a timely basis for consideration prior to the annual meeting. Shareholders who wish to recommend an individual to the Nominating Committee for consideration as a potential candidate for director should submit the name, together with appropriate supporting documentation, to the Nominating Committee at the following address: Nominating Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Nestor, Inc, 42 Oriental Street; Providence, RI 02908. A submission will be considered timely if it is made during the timeframes disclosed in this proxy statement under “Shareholder Proposals.” The submission must be accompanied by a statement as to whether the shareholder or group of shareholders making the recommendation has owned more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock for at least a year prior to the date the recommendation is made. Submissions meeting these requirements will be considered by the Nominating Committee using the same process and applying substantially the same criteria as followed for candidates submitted by others. If the Nominating Committee determines to nominate and recommend for election a shareholder-recommended candidate, then the candidate’s name will be included in the Company’s proxy card for the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Item 11. Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Objectives of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program
 
The Company’s Compensation Committee’s (the “Committee”) philosophy provides that the Company’s executive compensation program be performance driven and market driven. Accordingly, the Company provides a meaningful portion of its executive compensation in the form of stock based awards. The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are aligned with the Committee’s philosophy and are as follows:
 
·  
To focus senior management on achieving financial and operating objectives that provide long-term shareholder value;
 
·  
To align the interests of senior management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders;
 
·  
To attract and retain senior executive talent.
 
 
What is the Company’s Executive Compensation Program designed to Reward?

The compensation program is designed to motivate and reward executives for sustained high levels of achievement of the Company’s financial and operating objectives. It is the Company’s general intent to provide base salaries that are less than the market median for similarly situated executives in comparable firms, and to provide incentive opportunities that are in line with or in excess of the market median. In aggregate, these two components, less than median base salaries and greater than median incentives, provide a total target cash compensation opportunity that approximates the median of the market. Actual base salaries may vary from this generally targeted position based on the performance, tenure, experience and contributions of the individual. Actual incentives will vary with the performance of the Company. Actual total cash can be less than or greater than the median of the market, based on these factors. The Company believes that the structure of its total cash compensation effectively aligns executives with shareholders by placing emphasis on the achievement of positive Modified EBITDA and earnings per share growth objectives.

 
Positive Modified EBITDA and sustained high levels of annual achievement of earnings per share growth goals drives long-term shareholder value and the Company’s compensation program is designed to reward the creation of shareholder value through the use of stock options. Stock options align executive compensation with shareholder interests because options only have value to the executive if the stock price increases over time. The value of the Company’s stock option grants enhances the competitive position of the executive’s total direct compensation (base salary, annual bonus, if any, and stock options) and further increases the orientation of total compensation toward performance-based instruments.

What are the elements of executive compensation?

There are three key elements of executive compensation: base salary, discretionary senior management incentive bonus (“annual incentive”), and long-term performance-based awards.

-6-

Base Salary
 
The base salaries for senior executives are reviewed annually by the Committee. Individual salaries are based upon a combination of factors including past individual performance and experience, Company performance, scope of responsibility, competitive salary levels and an individual’s potential for making contributions to future Company performance. The Committee considers all these factors in determining base salary increases and does not assign a specific weighting to any individual factor.
 
Base salary for senior executives for fiscal year 2006 was decreased by 10.0% as part of a Company wide cost reduction program. This reduction was approved by the Committee on March 6, 2006. This decrease was determined by the Committee based on the Company’s failure to achieve its stated objectives.
 
At the end of fiscal 2006, the Committee considered the factors listed above in determining the 2007 salary levels for executive officers, including the Company’s below target Modified EBITDA performance and lower than expected earnings per share performance for fiscal 2006. For 2007, the Committee recommended base salaries for executive officers remain unchanged. The 2007 base salaries for all executive officers remain below the market median for their respective positions which is consistent with the Company’s philosophy to emphasize performance-based pay.
 
Annual Incentive 
 
Each member of senior management may be considered for an annual bonus. These bonuses may be awarded or withheld in the sole discretion of the Committee. The Company has not established specific performance criteria for consideration of executive bonuses, but rather makes bonus determinations based on the Company’s overall performance and achievement of its stated objectives.
 
As a result of continuing losses, and failure of the Company to achieve positive Modified EBITDA in 2006, the Committee elected not to award bonuses to senior executives of the Company except for a bonus to Todd Eikinas, who received a $10,000.00 bonus as a reward for extraordinary efforts related to the development and deployment of of the Company’s speed and red light enforcement technologies. The Committee will consider senior executive bonuses at the end of the 2007 fiscal year, but currently, no bonuses are anticipated.
 
Long-Term Performance-Based Awards 
 
Stock options are granted to executive officers and other members of senior management to align the interests of executives with those of the Company’s shareholders. The Company believes that stock options provide strong alignment between shareholders and executives because the value of a stock option to an executive is directly related to the stock price appreciation delivered to shareholders over time. Conversely, poor stock price performance provides no stock option value to the executive.
 
At this time, the Committee has not reviewed or evaluated in detail various long-term incentive instruments with a compensation consultant.
 
The Committee will continue to consider future stock option grants. It is the intention of the Committee to consider the grant of stock options to senior management annually at the Committee’s December meeting. Grant prices are established based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

  
Other Compensation
 
The Company does not offer any perquisites for the exclusive benefit of executive officers. Senior executives are eligible to participate in other compensation and benefit plans that are generally offered to other employees, such as the Company’s regular 401(k) plan, health and insurance plans.
 
-7-

Why does the Company choose to pay each element?

Each element of compensation addresses specific objectives of the program and together they meet the overall objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program. The mix of short-term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives focuses executives on achievement of annual financial and operating objectives that drive long-term shareholder value. The Company does not target a specific mix of compensation between short-term and long-term vehicles. The Company does consider multiple factors, including the competitive market and Company and individual performance.
 
Base salaries are important in attracting and retaining senior executives. It is the Company’s general intent to set base salaries slightly below market median levels relative to the market for comparable positions and to consider the base salary amount in conjunction with the annual target incentive bonus amount. Based on the Company’s recent performance, the Committee has reduced executive compensation and has declined to award any incentive bonuses.
 
Long-term equity based compensation awards are designed to motivate senior executives and other key employees to contribute to the Company’s long-term growth of Modified EBITDA and shareholder value and to align executives’ compensation with the growth in the Company’s stock price.
 
Competitive Market Assessment 
 
Competitive market data is an important component in determining the amount of compensation for each element and each executive. Although the Committee has not utilized an outside external compensation consultant to provide advice on the structure of executive compensation, the Committee is generally aware of competitive data on base salary, total cash compensation, and long-term incentives. In addition, the Committee reviews the total compensation package for an executive from the perspective of total direct compensation which includes base, actual bonus, if any, and the value of the long-term incentive grant.
 
Management’s Role in Executive Compensation 
 
The Committee approves all compensation decisions for the executive officers. In discharging its responsibility with regard to the compensation of the Company’s CEO and other senior executives, the Committee seeks the CEO’s assessment of the performance of the Company and other executive officers, and his recommendations for the compensation of other executive officers. The Committee makes all decisions with respect to the compensation of the CEO and executive officers. No executive officer makes any decision on any element of his/her own compensation.
 
Tax and Accounting Implications 
 
The Committee considers all the tax and accounting aspects of the compensation instruments utilized by it in determining the most efficient method to use in delivering executive compensation.
 
How does each element and the Company’s decision regarding that element fit into the Company’s overall compensation objectives and affect decisions regarding other elements?

The Committee considers the effectiveness of each element of compensation in meeting the Company’s overall objectives for executive compensation as well as the competitive marketplace for each element of compensation. In addition, the Committee reviews the combined total of all compensation elements, or total direct compensation, in order to appropriately position total direct compensation relative to both the marketplace and the Company’s objectives. The Committee also believes that it is important to provide meaningful reward and recognition opportunities to executive officers irrespective of the potential gains the executive may realize from prior awards.

Pursuant to the Mr. Danzell’s employment agreement, on October 13, 2004, Nestor granted, under the terms of its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, two options to purchase 330,000 and 300,000, respectively, shares of Nestor common stock, $.01 par value per share, to Mr. Danzell at an option exercise price of $4.95 per share. The first option becomes exercisable for 100,000 of the shares subject to the option on December 31, 2004, for 200,000 such shares on December 31, 2005 and for 30,000 such shares on December 31, 2006 and expires on October 13, 2012. The second option becomes exercisable on the earlier of (a) October 13, 2012 or (b) with respect to 100,000 shares, the first date on which Share Price (as defined in the agreement) equals or exceeds 117.5% of Share Price on October 13, 2004 ($5.81625), and with respect to 200,000 shares, the first date on which Share Price equals or exceeds 138.0625% of Share Price on October 13, 2004 ($6.83409), and expires on October 12, 2014. Both of these Share Price targets have been achieved and, accordingly, this second option is fully vested. The Company is further obligated under Mr. Danzell’s employment agreement to grant him an option to purchase 170,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.95 per share vesting on December 31, 2006 and expiring on October 13, 2012 and an option to purchase 200,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.95 per share becoming exercisable on the earlier of (a) October 13, 2012 or (b) the first date on which Share Price equals or exceeds 162.2234375% of Share Price on October 13, 2004 ($8.03) and expiring on October 12, 2014. The options are incentive stock option to the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with any amount in excess of permitted levels under the Code to be treated as a non-statutory stock option to the extent of such excess. Vesting of all of Mr. Danzell’s options accelerate if, following a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement), Nestor terminates Mr. Danzell’s employment without Cause or Mr. Danzell resigns for Good Reason.

Pursuant to Mr. Hebborn’s employment agreement, on October 13, 2004, Nestor granted, under the terms of its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, two options to purchase 300,000 shares of Nestor common stock, $.01 par value per share, to Mr. Hebborn at an option exercise price of $4.95 per share. The first option become exercisable for 60,000 of the shares subject to the option on December 31, 2004, for 120,000 such shares on December 31, 2005 and for 120,000 such shares on December 31, 2006 and expires on October 13, 2012. The second option becomes exercisable on the earlier of (a) October 13, 2012 or (b) with respect to 60,000 shares, the first date on which Share Price (as defined in the agreement) equals or exceeds 117.5% of Share Price on October 13, 2004 ($5.81625), with respect to 120,000 shares, the first date on which Share Price equals or exceeds 138.0625% of Share Price on October 13, 2004 ($6.83409) and with respect to 120,000 shares, the first date on which Share Price equals or exceeds 162.2234375% of Share Price on October 13, 2004 ($8.03) and expires on October 12, 2014. The first two Share Price targets have been achieved and, accordingly the second option has vested with respect to 180,000 shares. The options are incentive stock options to the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with any amount in excess of permitted levels under the Code to be treated as a non-statutory stock option to the extent of such excess. Vesting of all of Mr. Hebborn’s options accelerate if, following a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement), Nestor terminates Mr. Hebborn’s employment without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Eikinas was granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of Nestor’s Common Stock at $5.95 per share, of which 10,000 vested upon grant, 10,000 vested on March 29, 2006 and 10,000 vested on March 29, 2007. Mr. Eikinas will receive an immediately exercisable option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the then current fair market value if, on or before October 31, 2005, the Company satisfactorily delivers, as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, a “speed on green” product other than to defined test markets. In addition, he receive an immediately exercisable option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the then current fair market value because, before October 31, 2005, the Company satisfactorily delivered, as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, a mobile speed product other than to defined test markets.
