Item 1.03.

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On February 27, 2012, an involuntary Petition under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was filed against the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. No order for relief has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court nor has a trustee in bankruptcy been appointed by the U.S. Trustee. The Company does not intend to seek dismissal of this Petition.

As a result of this Chapter 7 proceeding, the Company will no longer file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and thus (i) its Common Stock will no longer be traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, and (ii) its shares will no longer be eligible for legend removal under Rule 144 for failure to continue to meet the current reporting requirement under Rule 144.

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Thomas W. Materna resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of American Scientific Resources, Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) on February 29, 2012. Robert T. Faber and Jason Roth resigned from the Board and as officers of the Company on March 15, 2012. Paul Cohen and Austin Kasinetz resigned from the Board on March 15, 2012. Howard Taylor remains as the sole director of the Company and shall function as its officer, by default, as all officers have resigned.

On March 2, 2012, the Board received a letter from Christopher Tirotta, dated March 2, 2012, in which Dr. Tirotta informed the Board that he was tendering his resignation as a member of the Board effective February 27, 2012. Dr. Tirotta’s letter states that his decision to resign was due to his disagreement with the Company’s entry into an asset purchase agreement with American Scientific Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on February 23, 2012. A copy of Dr. Tirotta’s letter is attached as Exhibit 17.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In accordance with the requirements of Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, the Company has provided Dr. Tirotta a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Item 5.02 report no later than the day of filing this Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has provided Dr. Tirotta with the opportunity to furnish it as promptly as possible with a letter addressed to the Company stating whether he agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this Item 5.02 and, if not, stating the respects in which he does not agree; and the Company shall file any letter received by it from the director with the Commission as an exhibit by an amendment to this Form 8-K within two business days after receipt by the Company.
