is stronger than ever, and - coupled with our recent expense reductions - has kept us at cash flow positive status for another
quarter. Additionally, gross margins continued to improve in Q2, increasing from 57% in the first quarter to 59% in the second quarter;
and Active Customer Sites (ACS) increased to 1,427, a 6% year-over-year increase. We expect that net cash flow will remain strong, although
it may fluctuate somewhat, due to working capital usage associated with high revenue growth. Overall, we are confident that the fundamentals
of our business continue to improve, and that our increasing cash balances will be sufficient to fund the company for the foreseeable

EBITDA Definition and Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA from continuing operations is calculated by taking net loss from continuing operations calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and excluding all interest-related expenses and income, tax-related expenses and
income, non-recurring expenses and income, and non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, and non-cash compensation. The following
table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net loss from continuing operations, the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, for the second quarter of the 2023 and 2022 fiscal years:

believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial
and business trends relating to Nephros' financial condition and results of operations. Management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA
from continuing operations in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal
limitation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP
to be recognized in Nephros' financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is subject to inherent
limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. To compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA from continuing
operations in connection with net income loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Nephros
urges investors to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income loss from continuing operations
and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
