AETHLON MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2026
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Aethlon Medical, Inc., or Aethlon, the Company, we or us, is a medical therapeutic company focused on developing the Hemopurifier® (HP), a clinical-stage investigational immunotherapeutic device designed to address unmet needs in oncology, life-threatening infectious diseases, organ transplantation and other disease states in which extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to disease progression. The Hemopurifier utilizes a proprietary lectin-based technology to bind and remove enveloped viruses and EVs from biological fluids. EVs have been associated with immune suppression, metastasis, and resistance to therapy in cancer, as well as progression of severe infectious diseases.
In pre-clinical studies, the Hemopurifier has also demonstrated the ability to bind disease-associated extracellular vesicles (“EVs”) and a panel of enveloped viruses. The Hemopurifier has been evaluated in human studies, involving 176 treatment sessions in 45 patients with either viral infections or cancer. The device has been well tolerated with an adverse event profile that is consistent with extracorporeal therapy. In certain human studies designed to evaluate viral clearance from biological fluids, findings demonstrated the removal of enveloped viruses. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has granted the Hemopurifier “Breakthrough Device” designation for two independent indications:
| · | the treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic cancer unresponsive to or intolerant of standard-of-care therapy; and | |
| · | the treatment of life-threatening viruses not addressed with approved therapies. |
Three clinical sites in Australia—Royal Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide, Pindara Private Hospital in the Gold Coast, and GenesisCare North Shore Hospital in Sydney—are currently enrolling patients in our safety, feasibility and dose-finding oncology trial in patients with solid tumors not responding to treatment, including either Keytruda® or Opdivo®. The trial is designed to enroll approximately 9 to 18 patients across three sequential dosing cohorts evaluating the safety and feasibility of the Hemopurifier. During the first fiscal quarter of 2027, we initiated Cohort 3 and treated the first participant in this cohort. Enrollment in the trial remains ongoing.
The Company previously pursued approval of a similar clinical trial in India. After reviewing extended timelines associated with site activation and trial execution, we decided to discontinue the India program to conserve resources and focus our efforts on the Australian oncology trial.
The Hemopurifier is designed to address life-threatening viral infections, particularly those involving highly glycosylated viruses for which there are no approved therapies. It has previously been used under FDA and international regulatory frameworks to treat individuals infected with HIV, hepatitis C, Ebola and SARS-CoV-2. While our COVID-19 clinical trials in the U.S. and India have been terminated due to low ICU enrollment, these programs provided real-world evidence of Hemopurifier use in critically ill patients. We maintain an open Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) for viral indications, preserving the ability to respond to future outbreaks or emerging pathogens.
In addition to our ongoing clinical development programs, we continue to explore potential new applications for the Hemopurifier through internal pre-clinical research and academic collaborations. During the first fiscal quarter of 2027, our manuscript entitled “Increased Mannosylation of Extracellular Vesicles in Long COVID Plasma Provides a Potential Therapeutic Target for Galanthus nivalis Agglutinin (GNA) Affinity Resin“ was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The manuscript describes exploratory ex vivo laboratory research conducted in collaboration with the University of California, San Francisco Long COVID Clinic examining extracellular vesicle characteristics in plasma samples from individuals with Long COVID. We also continue to investigate the Hemopurifier’s ability to remove disease-relevant extracellular vesicles through pre-clinical studies, including platelet-derived extracellular vesicles implicated in cancer, autoimmune disease and neurological disorders. These research activities are intended to inform potential future clinical indications and expand the potential utility of the Hemopurifier platform.
Successful outcomes of human trials will also be required by the regulatory agencies of certain foreign countries where we plan to market and sell the Hemopurifier. Some of our patents may expire before FDA approval or approval in a foreign country, if any, is obtained. However, we believe that certain patent applications and/or other patents issued to us more recently will help protect the proprietary nature of our Hemopurifier treatment technology.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 31, 2026, the Company effected a
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2026.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aethlon Medical, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aethlon Medical Australia Pty Ltd. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of and for the period ended June 30, 2026, its results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and its cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026, contained in the above referenced 10-K and has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split described above, including the related adjustments to Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, accrued clinical trial costs, research and development expenses, the useful lives of long-lived assets, and other accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, together with the proceeds received from its financing completed in July 2026, will be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Although we believe our current cash resources, together with proceeds received subsequent to June 30, 2026, are sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next twelve months, we will likely require additional capital in the future to continue advancing the clinical development of the Hemopurifier beyond that period. The timing and amount of future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of our clinical and preclinical development programs, regulatory activities, manufacturing requirements, and other operating expenditures.
| 9 |
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2026, we maintained a restricted
cash balance of $
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued, if such additional common shares were dilutive. Since we had net losses for all periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential common shares have been excluded, as their effect would be antidilutive.
As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, an aggregate of and potential common shares, respectively, consisting of shares underlying outstanding stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units were excluded, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
3. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of costs associated with clinical trials, preclinical research, personnel, including salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits, consulting and professional fees, and other expenditures incurred to support the development of the Hemopurifier. Research and development expenses are included in various operating expense line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Research and development expenses were as follows:
| Amounts presented are rounded to the nearest thousand | June 30, | June 30, | ||||||

| Three months ended | $ | $ | ||||||
4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public business entities to provide enhanced annual and interim disclosures that disaggregate specified income statement expense categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832), which establishes guidance related to the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section above entitled “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”
Overview
Aethlon Medical, Inc. is a clinical-stage medical therapeutic company focused on developing the Hemopurifier®, an investigational immunotherapeutic device for the treatment of oncology, life-threatening viral infections and other disease states where extracellular vesicles are believed to contribute to disease progression.
Our primary focus remains advancing the Phase 1 oncology clinical trial in Australia. Following the completion of the first two treatment cohorts, preliminary observations demonstrated generally consistent directional changes across multiple biomarkers associated with tumor-derived extracellular vesicles, immune function and response to immunotherapy. While these findings remain preliminary and await formal statistical analysis following completion of the study, they support the continued evaluation of the Hemopurifier in the ongoing trial.
We also treated the first participant in Cohort 3, and enrollment in the study continues across our three clinical sites in Australia. In addition, our manuscript describing extracellular vesicle characteristics in patients with Long COVID was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. To support our ongoing clinical development activities, we continued to access capital through our At-the-MarketATM offering program.

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $1,579,202 compared to $1,792,390 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease of $213,189, or 11.9%, primarily reflected lower professional fees and general and administrative expenses.
Professional fees decreased by $142,463 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower investor relations expenses resulting from costs incurred in the prior-year period in connection with a special meeting of stockholders that did not recur in the current-year period, together with lower accounting fees due to fewer filings requiring audit consent procedures by our predecessor and current independent registered public accounting firms during the current-year period.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $72,907 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease primarily reflected lower clinical trial expenses resulting from the timing of trial participant treatment activities between the current-year and prior-year periods, as well as lower costs associated with our preclinical research activities. These decreases were partially offset by normal fluctuations in other general and administrative expenses.
Other Income, Net
We recorded other income of $31,290 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to other income of $30,532 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Other income in both periods was primarily interest income.
| 14 |
Net Loss
As a result of the factors noted above, our net loss decreased to $1,547,912 in the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $1,761,858 in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Basic and diluted loss attributable to common stockholders was ($4.05) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to ($4.24) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2026, we had a cash balance of $4,933,579 and working capital of $4,574,872. This compares to a cash balance of $5,026,458 and working capital of $4,122,702 at March 31, 2026.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, together with the proceeds received from sales of our common stock under our S-1 registration statement ATM program subsequent to June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Although we believe our current cash resources, together with proceeds received subsequent to June 30, 2026, are sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next twelve months, we will likely require additional capital in the future to continue advancing the clinical development of the Hemopurifier beyond that period. The timing and amount of future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of our clinical and preclinical development programs, regulatory activities, manufacturing requirements, and other operating expenditures.
Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized as follows:

NET CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $1.7 million for the same period in 2025. The greater use of cash in operating activities was primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in working capital, principally a larger reduction in accounts payable and other current liabilities than in the prior-year period. This increase in cash used was partially offset by a lower net loss, lower cash used for prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the absence of payments to related parties made during the prior-year period.
| 15 |
NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Capital expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of the purchase and installation of an HVAC system for our laboratory facility at a cost of approximately $9,000.
NET CASH PROVIDED BY (USED IN) FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $5,000 for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to net proceeds from sales of common stock under our ATM offering program, partially offset by offering costs associated with those sales, including deferred offering costs incurred in connection with future equity issuances. Financing activities during the current-year period also included tax withholding payments related to the net share settlement of restricted stock units.
Material Cash Requirements
We expect to continue to incur expenditures related to our ongoing Phase 1 oncology clinical trial in Australia, including costs associated with clinical trial activities, manufacturing of Hemopurifier devices and related research and development activities.
In addition, we maintain leases for our headquarters, laboratory and manufacturing facilities, all of which expire in March 2027. We are evaluating our future facility requirements, including whether to renew or modify certain lease arrangements as we continue to assess our operational needs.
Our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress and results of our clinical development programs, the costs of manufacturing Hemopurifier devices, regulatory activities, the protection of our intellectual property, and our ability to establish strategic collaborations or obtain additional financing.
Although we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, together with the proceeds received from sales of common stock subsequent to quarter end, will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we expect to require additional capital to continue advancing the clinical development of the Hemopurifier beyond that period. Additional financing may be sought through equity offerings, debt financings, strategic collaborations or other financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. There have been no material changes to those critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not currently a party to any material pending legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, such matters may result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods. We are not presently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report and the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The risks described in our Annual Report, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price of shares of our common stock. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings, or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
There have been no material updates or changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report; provided, however, additional risks not currently known or currently material to us may also harm our business.
