National Health Partners Successfully Launches New Marketing Initiative

HORSHAM, Pa., July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB: NHPR), a leading provider of discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it has successfully launched a new marketing initiative during the 2nd quarter. As a result of this new marketing approach the Company has seen strong monthly growth in both sales and cash flow. The Company also expects to continue adding more partners under this new program.

"The Company embarked on a bold new initiative at the beginning of the 2nd quarter and the results have been extremely positive," stated David M. Daniels, National Health Partners' President and CEO. "It's important to understand this new approach is a radical departure from how we previously compensated our partners. Historically we have paid residual commissions for the life of each membership; however, under the new program, the Company pays a one-time fee for each sale generated by a partner. The net effect is we own the memberships outright and therefore have no further obligations for the life of that member. As a result, the profit margin for retained memberships is almost triple what we would make under our previous residual payout structure."

Mr. Daniels further states, "This new program is having a profound impact on both revenues and cash flow. The Company expects to deliver positive cash flow from operations and we anticipate substantial gains in our overall cash flow for the remainder of the year. Another benefit from this payout program is the number of new partners who have signed up with us which will further drive sales going forward. As we continue to gain more traction under this new program we will be able to provide a more detailed forecast for both the 3rd quarter and 4th quarter. One thing is for certain, we are very excited about where we are now and where we expect to be by year-end."
