American Scientific Releases 2009 Financial Results and Highlights of the Past Year

WESTON, Fla.,, April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Scientific Resources, Inc. (the "Company") (Pink Sheets: ASFX.PK) confirms today that the Company has released its audited financial statements for the period ending December 31st 2009, in accordance with US GAAP. The financial statements are posted at www.pinksheets.com, where the common stock is currently quoted. The Company anticipates taking additional steps to have its common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB").

With the expansion of the management team and the implementation of the Company's  restructuring and growth plan beginning in June 2009, substantial progress has been made; work which the Company is pleased is reflected in the significant increase in traded market value of the Company's stock over the past 9 months.

• Assets are up due to the purchase of the Disintegrator patent
• Current liabilities are down, including reductions of certain debt obligations
• Operating expenses reduced, gross profits steady and higher gross margins
• Value creation indicated by Shareholder's deficit reduction of $1.7 million

Additional achievements over the past year include:

• The settlement or dismissal of legal actions
• The removal of the Caveat Emptor designation by the Pink Sheets
• Shareholder base has been broadened considerably
• Fully current on all financial reporting
• OTCBB quotation application well underway
• Food and Drug Administration approval is being sought for new products
• The Disintegrator project benefited during the first quarter of 2010 from a follow on order received from Bayer with additional orders coming in. Production of units is well underway with delivery expected during the second quarter of 2010. The NGO model is in late stage development and contract negotiations have commenced with substantial global aid organizations.
• The Never Touch 5-in-1 Non Contact Thermometer is in production to be sold under the Kidz-Med brand and as a private label device.  The Never Touch will be available at large retailers in the United States later this year. The clinical model is also in development and will be available internationally by the end of 2010.
• New products coming to market including the Mebby product line with other new initiatives in the pipeline with our International sales team in place and operating

Dr. Christopher Tirotta, CEO of American Scientific, commented: "We have had substantial challenges and disappointments both financial and otherwise over the past years but we look forward to improved results coming from the development and marketing of new products. Our restructuring and growth plan has yielded considerable positive developments over the past 9 months reflected in a substantial multi fold increase in our share price. Our progress continues."

"The Disintegrator is an exciting addition to the product family at American Scientific both with the home use Disintegrator Plus and the new NGO version – both designed to solve a global health issue that threatens the lives of millions of people – patients, healthcare professionals, aid workers as well as the general public – every year."

"With our own truly Non Contact Thermometer we aim to finally change the way the world takes a temperature."

"Now with the proposed move to the Bulletin Board well underway, the Company looks forward to the remainder of 2010 and beyond with a view to delivering further value and returns."
