FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management. When used in such filings, the words "anticipate,” "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan" or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations and any businesses that we may acquire. 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 we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 12, 2015, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (“we”) entered into a modification of our contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, part of the Department of Defense. We entered into the initial contract on September 30, 2011. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency entered into the contract modification in an effort to accelerate our production of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® by modifying specific milestones we must achieve under the contract as follows:

Milestone M6 under year 3 of the contract:

Modified milestone: Define Aethlon’s GMP manufacturing process [for the Aethlon Hemopurifier®] and revise and upgrade Aethlon’s quality procedures and policies to the current state of the art.

Previous milestone: Demonstrate the safety of at least one prototype device within an optimized fluidic circuit architecture preventing clotting in a 24-hour experiment in vivo at a blood flow rate of 200 ml/min using either pigs or dogs.

Milestone 2.5.1.1 under year 4 of the contract:

Modified milestone: Complete Aethlon’s GMP procedure [for the Aethlon Hemopurifier®] and establish and maintain all GMP documentation for the company.

Previous milestone: Develop additional optimized configuration(s) of hemopurification device(s) that contain(s) a combination of hemofilters, plasma filters, and affinity columns.

Milestone M11 under year 4 of the contract:

Modified milestone: Develop a strategic plan for developing an alternate method of producing GNA [Galanthus nivalis agglutinin, the affinity lectin immobilized within the Aethlon Hemopurifier®] by cloning the gene into an alternate vector and identify potential partners for such production.

Previous milestone: Demonstrate the safety of an additional prototype device within an optimized fluidic circuit architecture preventing clotting in a 24-hour experiment in vivo at a blood flow rate of 200 ml/min using either pigs or dogs.

The contract is priced on a fixed-price basis. The contract modification did not change the fixed payments due to us upon our achievement of the milestones.

ITEM 3.02
