National Health Partners first-quarter revenues increase 29%

National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB: NHPR - News), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that revenue for its first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased 29% over revenue from the prior year's first quarter. The company attributes the growth in revenue from new strategic partnerships that began during the 1^st quarter. Additionally the company has undertaken a cost-cutting initiative that will reduce current and future operating expenses by over $100,000 per quarter.

“I am pleased to announce that we have finally reached a point where we will be generating accelerating revenues and strong growth in positive cash flow going forward”

The company is also pleased to announce that it sees strong sales continuing from both CARExpress sales as well as CARExpress Plus sales. As a result, the company sees revenue growth accelerating sharply beginning in June, the final month of the current quarter and carrying forward to the 3^rd quarter. As a result of the strong growth in revenues along with the cost reductions that management has subsequently taken the company expects to begin generating positive cash flow going forward for the remainder of the year.

"I am pleased to announce that we have finally reached a point where we will be generating accelerating revenues and strong growth in positive cash flow going forward," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners. "The fact that our revenue for the quarter was up 29% and operating expenses down by over 15% is a testament to the hard work and sacrifices by our management team and employees. We've had to make difficult decisions but the net result is we are a much leaner company operationally. The benefits from these cost-cutting moves will be even more evident going forward as many of the cuts were recently initiated and that will be reflective in our operating performance. With our lower cost structure and the expected acceleration of revenues, we expect to begin generating positive cash flow in June, the final month of the current quarter. Furthermore we see our cash flow growing sharply on a monthly basis going forward. This truly is a landmark period for our company."

Mr. Daniels further states, "While we have seen a continuous increase in our CARExpress sales, we are now seeing substantially more business opportunities with our CARExpress Plus programs. The company's CARExpress Plus program combines both our CARExpress discount health program with a limited benefit medical insured product. With the expected growth in CARExpress Plus sales, our revenues will be much stronger than any previous periods. It is important to recognize that these programs have a much greater impact on revenues due to higher prices and much higher retention rates over just CARExpress sales. I look forward to updating everyone in the coming weeks on the success of these new opportunities and to provide further guidance."
