HORSHAM, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
National Health Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: NHPR), a leading provider of unique
discount healthcare membership programs, announced its financial results for its
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009. The company generated gross profit of
$285,899 for Q1 2009 as its gross profit percentage rose to 68% for Q1 2009 from
63% for Q4 2008 and 43% for Q1 2008. Direct costs (sales commissions and network
provider costs) decreased $335,931 to $131,944 for Q1 2009 from $467,875 for Q1
2008, representing a decrease of 72%, as net cash used by operating activities
decreased 51% to $(179,822) for Q1 2009 from $(365,780) for Q1 2008. After
excluding non-cash equity-based compensation expense, the company`s net loss per
share decreased 50% to $(0.01) for Q1 2009 compared to $(0.02) for Q1 2008.

The company believes that revenue received from sales of CARExpress membership
programs by members generated through affinity groups, employers and insurance
brokers located throughout the country, combined with lower costs realized
through the company`s recent cost-cutting actions, will be the primary driver
for revenue, positive cash flow and profitability in 2009. The company expects
to generate more than $8 million of revenue during 2009 and positive cash flows
from operating activities of more than $1 million during the remainder of 2009.

"I am very excited about what we are currently accomplishing," stated David M.
Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners. "We
previously announced that we believed that Q2 2009 would be our breakout
quarter. I am pleased to say that we are currently generating a substantial
number of members at an accelerating rate just as we predicted. We have already
generated 200% to 300% more new members during just the first six weeks of Q2
2009 then we generated during Q1 2009 or any of our fiscal quarters in 2008. I
am also pleased with how well we have gotten our costs under control and
improved our financial metrics. We generated a record gross profit percentage of
68% during Q1 2009 while reducing our direct costs and cash used by operating
activities to the lowest levels in years. The combination of our quickly growing
revenue with our low cash out-flows will provide us with stellar financial
results during the remainder of 2009."

"Our business is kicking on all cylinders right now, and we only expect it to
get better," continued Mr. Daniels. "We have several major opportunities that
are all in various stages of starting up, and they are coming from a variety of
different sources, like affinity groups, insurance brokerages, healthcare
companies, employee leasing companies and small businesses. We expect to
announce agreements with two of these organizations this week, each of which has
the potential to increase our sales dramatically. 2009 is shaping up to be an
incredible year for National Health Partners. I am very excited about what the
future holds for us."
