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.

ITEM 3.01 Notification of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard

On February 1, 2017, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that it has not met the minimum of $35,000,000 in Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the last 30 consecutive business days (from December 15, 2016-January 31, 2017) as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(2).

The notification does not result in the delisting of the Company's common stock at this time, and its common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company has been provided with a 180 calendar day period (by July 31, 2017) in which to gain compliance by closing with an MVLS of at least $35,000,000 for any 10 consecutive business days during that period, and this matter would then be automatically closed.
