January 31 - National Health Partners Announces Positive Cash Flows from Operations
Company's Focus on Affinity Groups is Generating Substantial Revenue at Significantly Lower Cost
National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB: NHPR), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced that it has begun generating positive cash flows from operations as a result of the success it is experiencing from sales of its CARExpress programs to affinity groups and its decision to terminate its relationship with Trident Marketing International.
The company has successfully transitioned its sales strategy from direct marketing companies like Trident to affinity groups such as associations, unions, chambers of commerce and related organizations, as well as insurance brokers and agents. The company has entered into numerous agreements with affinity groups and is experiencing a significant growth in sales to members of these groups. As a result of the success the company is experiencing with its affinity group partners and the company’s decision to terminate its relationship with Trident, the company is now generating positive cash flows from operations for the first time in its history. The company expects the second quarter of 2008 to be its first full fiscal quarter with positive cash flows from operations.
“We have been actively seeking opportunities to grow National Health Partners quickly while maximizing our cash flows,” stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners. “In the past, we used a variety of marketing companies to sell our CARExpress programs to consumers. These companies produced members with very low retention rates which proved to be costly financially. Through our direct sales force and our various marketing efforts, we have very quickly gained traction with a large number of affinity groups that are extremely excited about our CARExpress membership programs. These groups are producing a large number of members for us with high retention rates at a significantly lower cost.
“Our strategy of targeting affinity groups has been so successful for us, we determined that it would be best for us to terminate our relationship with Trident,” continued Mr. Daniels. “As a result of the increase in sales we are generating from our affinity group partners and the termination of our relationship with Trident, we are now generating positive cash flows from operations for the first time ever. We expect the second quarter of 2008 to be our first full fiscal quarter with positive cash flows from operations. We are very excited with how quickly we have been able to transform National Health Partners into the tremendous business we had always envisioned it would be.”
The company is currently in discussions with a number of business groups, associations, chambers of commerce and unions that will be making its membership programs available to thousands of uninsured and underinsured people. The company expects to make additional announcements regarding these new business affiliations in the very near future.
