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  3.02        Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

         On May 11, 2005, the Company agreed to issue 836,730 shares of
restricted common stock and a three-year, non-cashless warrant to purchase
418,365 shares of the Company's restricted common stock at an exercise price of
$0.25 to legal counsel for payment of legal services in the amount of $167,346.
The Company and legal counsel agreed that the issuance of the restricted shares
and the warrant will be delayed until the Company receives shareholder approval
to increase the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock to
50,000,000.

         On May 16, 2005 (the "Closing Date"), Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the
"Company") and Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, a Chicago-based institutional
investor ("Fusion"), entered into a $30,000 Note Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement").

         Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Fusion Capital a
$30,000 Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") with an interest rate of
fifteen percent (15%) per annum that matures on August 15, 2005 (the "Maturity
Date"). The Note is convertible into shares of restricted common stock at any
time at the election of Fusion at a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share
for any conversion occurring on or prior to the Maturity Date, or at a price
equal to the lesser of (i) 75% of the average of the three (3) lowest closing
sale prices of the common shares during the twelve (12) trading days prior to
the submission of a conversion notice or (ii) $0.20 per share, for any
conversion occurring after the Maturity Date. Additionally, the Company issued
Fusion a five-year cashless warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the "Warrant"). The Note
and the Warrant have piggyback registration rights. The Copies of the Agreement,
the Note and Warrant are filed as exhibits to this current report on Form 8-K.



         This announcement is not an offer to sell securities of Aethlon
Medical, Inc. and any opportunity to participate in the private placement was
available to a very limited group of accredited investors.
