“We are very excited about how quickly our revenue is growing,” stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners.  “Our revenue increased over 270% to $1,179,197 for the second quarter of 2007 from $317,024 for the second quarter of 2006, and our revenue for the first half of 2007 is already much higher than our revenue for the entire 2006 year.  Equally impressive is that our revenue growth of 270% between the second quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2007 is much higher than the growth of 220% that we achieved between the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, which shows that our revenue growth is accelerating quickly.”

“In addition, our fundamentals continue to improve,” added Alex Soufflas, the company’s Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President.  “Our net loss per share fell for the second consecutive quarter to only $(0.01) from $(0.02) for the first quarter, and our aggregate net loss per share of $(0.03) for the first six months of 2007 represents a decrease of 75% from the net loss per share of $(0.12) that we incurred during the first six months of 2006.   Also encouraging is the substantial improvement that we have experienced in our gross profit and overall financial condition.  Our gross profit increased over 700% between the second quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2007, and our current ratio increased to 10.9.  The current ratio is important because it shows the ability of a company to meet its short-term financial obligations.  A current ratio of around 2 is normally considered to be healthy.”

“To put our 2007 performance in perspective, we achieved revenue of $2,223,705 for the first six months of 2007 and a net loss per share of only $(0.03),” explained Mr. Daniels.  “In contrast, we achieved revenue of only $1,870,612 for the entire 2006 year and incurred a net loss per share of $(0.39) during 2006.  We are moving quickly towards profitability and anticipate achieving profitability in the second half of 2007.”

“Our performance this past quarter is the result of the substantial increase in revenue we are experiencing as well as the cost cutting measures that we implemented during the past 12 months,” continued Mr. Daniels.  “While we are excited to see that our strategy is beginning to payoff as we move towards profitability, we feel that there is a lot more that we can do to enhance our overall growth and financial performance.  We are implementing several marketing and advertising campaigns for our CARExpress Plus programs and intend to continue rolling out new and exciting campaigns throughout the rest of the year.  We are also negotiating several agreements with business partners for the marketing and sale of our traditional CARExpress health discount programs and our CARExpress Plus programs.  The remainder of 2007 should be an extremely exciting time for the company and we are all looking forward to turning National Health Partners into a true powerhouse in the discount healthcare industry.”
