Drone Stocks Opportunity; Market for commercial/civilian drones to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2015 and 2020



Drone Stocks Opportunity; Market for commercial/civilian drones to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2015 and 2020

Point Roberts WA, NEW YORK, NY – April 21, 2015 - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including tech stocks updates its directory of drone stocks for investors as research shows the opportunity and market is growing rapidly.

In a recent report from BI Intelligence, reviewing the levels of the growing global industry for commercial drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), they noted the following:

“The global commercial drone market will take shape around applications in a handful of industries: agriculture, energy, utilities, mining, construction, real estate, news media, and film production.

Most growth in the drone industry is on the commercial/civilian side, as the shift away from the military market gains momentum. The market for commercial/civilian drones will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2015 and 2020, compared with 5% growth on the military side.

E-commerce and package delivery will not be an early focus of the drone industry.

Legacy drone manufacturers focused mostly on military clients do not have a natural advantage in the fast-evolving civilian drone market.

Proposed US regulation would effectively end the ban on commercial drone flights and would allow low-altitude flights of small drones within view of a ground-based pilot.

The rules are unlikely to be finalized before early 2017. Some believe it will happen earlier. But we believe it most likely that widespread but heavily restricted commercial UAV flights will become routine sometime that year.

Technology barriers are at once a roadblock and a huge business opportunity.

Many of the notable early commercial UAV manufacturers are emerging outside of the US market: These include Switzerland-based senseFly (owned by France-based Parrot), Canadian firm Aeryon, publicly traded Swedish firm CybAero, Shenzhen, China-based DJI, and Korea-based Gryphon.

The commercial-drone industry is still young but has begun to see some consolidation and major investments from large industrial conglomerates, chip companies, and defense contractors.”

Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Reverse Stock Split and Nasdaq Listing Submission

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Reverse Stock Split and Nasdaq Listing Submission

SAN DIEGO - April 8, 2015 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), a pioneer in developing targeted therapeutic devices to address infectious diseases and cancer, announced today that it will implement a 1-for-50 reverse split of its common stock. The implementation of the reverse stock split is subject to approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Upon approval by FINRA, the Company's common stock will trade on a split-adjusted basis under the temporary symbol "AEMDD," with the "D" appended to signify that the reverse stock split has occurred. The trading symbol will revert to "AEMD" after approximately 20 trading days. We currently anticipate that FINRA will approve the reverse stock split on April 10, 2015, however there can be no assurance that the effectiveness of the reverse stock split will occur on that date.


The Company also announced that it has submitted an initial listing application with the Nasdaq Stock Market to have its common stock approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's Board of Directors approved the stock split in part to support the Nasdaq Capital Market listing application. At present, the Company does not meet all of the initial listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market and therefore the Company cannot assure that the listing will be approved.

The reverse split will reduce the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding from approximately 323 million to approximately 6.7 million. Proportional adjustments will be made to the Company's authorized shares, and to the terms and exercise price of outstanding options and warrants, as well as the conversion terms of the Company's outstanding convertible notes. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next whole share.

INFORMATION FOR STOCKHOLDERS
Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, each fifty shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be converted into one share of the Company's common stock. Stockholders who have existing stock certificates will receive written instructions by mail from the Company's transfer agent, Computershare. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares. Such stockholders will be contacted by their brokers with instructions.
