FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the "Filings") contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant's management. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan" or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Registrant or Registrant's management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant's industry, Registrant's operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

On September 29, 2014, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the "Company") received the award document from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) memorializing that DARPA had exercised its option for year four of a five-year $5.9 million contract that was awarded to the Company on September 30, 2011 under DARPA’s Dialysis-Like Therapeutics (DLT) program.

The fourth year of the Company’s DLT contract contains three milestones representing a potential of $669,292 in revenue opportunity.

The goal of the Dialysis-Like Therapeutics (DLT) program is to develop a portable device that removes "dirty" blood from the body, separates harmful agents, and returns "clean" blood to the body in a manner similar to dialysis treatment of kidney failure.

In addition to treating sepsis, if developed as contemplated, the DLT device represents a flexible platform that may be configured to combat engineered and evolving pathogens.
