Subsequent Events [Abstract]
14. Subsequent Events	Management has evaluated events subsequent to September 30, 2015 through the date that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements. Government Contracts Subsequent to September 30, 2015, we billed $2,401 and we collected $644 under our Battelle subcontract and we collected $186,164 under our DARPA contract. Principal Investigator Change in U.S, Clinical Trial On October 23, 2015, we entered into a clinical trial agreement in connection with our FDA-approved feasibility study of Hemopurifier® therapy pursuant to which Dr. Ronald Ralph will act as our new principal investigator for the study. In addition, on October 26, 2015, we terminated the agreement pursuant to which Dr. Stephen Fadem had been acting as our principal investigator for the study. We subsequently have entered into a medical advisory consulting agreement with Dr. Fadem, pursuant to which Dr. Fadem will provide consulting services at our request regarding clinical affairs and device development. No other aspects of the study will be modified in any significant respect as a result of this transition. Retention Agreements On October 16, 2015, following a recommendation of our Compensation Committee, we approved retention bonus grants to three of our executive officers under a newly established Aethlon Senior Management Retention Program to maintain management stability going forward. The Board approved a $100,000 retention bonus for Mr. James A. Joyce, our Chief Executive Officer, a $50,000 retention bonus for Mr. Rodney S. Kenley, our President, and a $50,000 retention bonus for Mr. James B. Frakes, our Chief Financial Officer. In connection with the bonus granted to Mr. Joyce, we entered into an amendment of Mr. Joyce’s Employment Agreement dated April 1, 1999. Pursuant to the amendment, if within two years of the effective date of the amendment, we terminate Mr. Joyce’s employment with us for “Cause” (as defined in his employment agreement) or Mr. Joyce terminates his employment with us other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Joyce must repay in full the amount of the bonus received from us. In the event of his death or disability or termination by us other than for “Cause” or termination by Mr. Joyce for “Good Reason,” Mr. Joyce will not be required to repay any portion of the bonus received by him. In connection with the bonus granted to Mr. Kenley, we entered into an amendment of Mr. Kenley’s Offer Letter dated October 27, 2010. Pursuant to the amendment, if within two years of the effective date of the amendment, we terminate Mr. Kenley’s employment with us for “Cause” (as defined in the amendment) or Mr. Kenley terminates his employment with us other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the amendment), Mr. Kenley must repay in full the amount of the bonus received from us. In the event of his death or disability or termination by us other than for “Cause” or termination by Mr. Kenley for “Good Reason,” Mr. Kenley will not be required to repay any portion of the bonus received by him. In connection with the bonus granted to Mr. Frakes, we entered into a Retention Bonus Agreement with Mr. Frakes. Pursuant to the agreement, if within two years of the effective date of the agreement, we terminate Mr. Frakes’ employment with us for “Cause” (as defined in the agreement) or Mr. Frakes terminates his employment with us other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Frakes must repay in full the amount of the bonus received from us. In the event of his death or disability or termination by us other than for “Cause” or termination by Mr. Frakes for “Good Reason,” Mr. Frakes will not be required to repay any portion of the bonus received by him. Amendment of Convertible Promissory Note Terms On November 12, 2015, we entered into an Amendment of Terms with two investors. Previously, we and the investors had entered into a subscription agreement dated November 6, 2014, pursuant to which we issued to the investors convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $527,780 and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 47,125 shares of our common stock (see Note 5). The Amendment of Terms modifies the terms of the subscription agreement, notes and warrants to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the notes from April 1, 2016 to June 1, 2016, temporarily reduce the number of shares that we must reserve with respect to conversion of the notes, and temporarily suspend the time period during which one of the investors may exercise its warrants in order to provide us with additional authorized shares to issue as part of our ordinary business operations. In exchange for the investors’ agreements in the Amendment of Terms, we paid one of the investors a cash fee of $90,000.
