ASFX Corporate Update, December 2010

The past year has proven to be an exciting time for American Scientific Resources, Inc.
(“the Company”, “ASR” or “ASFX”) (OTC: ASFX.PK). The Company has become a manufacturer and the owner of the intellectual property for two proprietary products, and their new state-of-the-art thermometer line has seen tremendous success within 2 months of launching. The Company’s mid-year 2010 update explained achievements and challenges, and at this time, ASFX would like to update its shareholders on the progress that has been made since then.

Top Milestones Include:
June – current
* Becoming a globally approved manufacturer of medical devices
* Creating new distribution channels worldwide
* Selling out of 10,000 thermometers within 2 months
* Selling 5.09 thermometers per month per point of distribution
* Increasing worldwide distribution channels
* Staff increase to respond to market demand

ASFX’s 2010 financial statements are available online at www.otcmarkets.com. Since there have been a multitude of questions surrounding the status of the Company’s S-1 filing, the Company is directing those with questions to view the most up to date information on http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001114605&owner=exclude&count=40. ASFX will not comment any further on the subject.

Thermometer Demand

The new Kidz-Med® Non-Contact and VeraTemp+™ Professional models commenced shipping to various retailers and distributors in early September.

The thermometer that the Company formerly distributed used to sell 0.15 pieces per store per month per point of distribution. The Kidz-Med Non-Contact shattered that record by selling 5.09 pieces per store per month per point of distribution. According to the latest industry research, current category leaders are selling approximately 1 to 2 pieces per store per month. Therefore, to sell 5.09 pieces per store per month upon launching is quite an accomplishment.

As a result of market demands, the Company is just completing another production run of 10,000 thermometers, soon to be shipped to the US. Shipments to retail and wholesale partners have become a daily routine.

Sell out’s occurred quickly after initial shipments were made, exceeding Company, retailer and distributor expectations. Each order placed by Amazon had been selling out in 2 days over a 2-month span. CVS.com sold out of product in a very short time frame. The companies have been re-ordering in larger quantities to try to keep up with the demand. School Health, the Company’s exclusive VeraTemp+ distributor for the school market segment, sold out of their initial order before receiving their first shipment and were recently replenished with inventory. Emergency Medical Products also placed an order for the VeraTemp+ Professional Non-Contact thermometer to target emergency medical services and institutional requirements.

Private label deals are being negotiated for a variety of customers domestically and internationally, and are expected to be fulfilled for the 2011 cough/cold season.

Furthermore, the Kidz-Med website has been re-designed in order to direct the consumer base to retail.
