The company attributes its sequential growth in quarterly revenue and gross profit, and its sequential decrease in net loss, to an increase in sales of its CARExpress health discount programs and CARExpress Plus membership programs.  In the past six months, the company has entered into agreements with several affinity groups, such as unions, associations, chambers of commerce, small business associations and other organizations that have a large number of members or employees, as well as insurance brokers and agents.  Many of these affinity groups are already producing revenue for the company and are expected to begin yielding a significant amount of revenue during the remainder of 2008.

The Company is currently in negotiations with several large affinity groups, some of which may purchase one or more of the company's CARExpress Plus programs for each of its respective members or employees.  Many of these affinity groups have the potential to increase the company's revenue by several multiples over a relatively short period of time.  In addition, the company is receiving tremendous interest from its business partners in its recently-announced CARExpress discount pharmacy program which is expected to be rolled out in the next 1-2 weeks and generate immediate sales for the company. 

 "We are very pleased with our financial results for Q1 2008," stated Alex Soufflas, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of National Health Partners.  "Our revenue increased 73% between Q4 2007 and Q1 2008 and our gross profit from operations increased from a loss for Q4 2007 to a profit in Q1 2008.  Equally important is that our bottom line improved substantially between Q4 2007 and Q1 2008 as our net loss per share deceased 50% from $(0.04) for Q4 2007 to $(0.02) for Q1 2008." 

 "I am equally pleased with our Q1 2008 financial results," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners.  "We are experiencing substantial growth in the number of affinity groups and other business partners through which we are selling both our CARExpress health discount programs and our CARExpress Plus membership programs.  We have all worked very hard at completing the planned transition of our primary source of sales from marketing companies to affinity groups and are now beginning to reap the rewards of our hard work.  It is very gratifying to know that so many large membership organizations located across the country are expressing such a tremendous interest in our programs.  We are very excited about what the remainder of 2008 has in store for National Health Partners."
