National Health Partners Announces Its Intentions To Move Forward With Signing The Offer For A Strategic Alliance

HORSHAM, Pa., March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB: NHPRD - News), a leading provider of discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it intends to move forward with the recently announced licensing agreement for CARExpress. Both parties have agreed to begin working on a final contract with the expectations of finalizing the agreement within approximately 45 days. Under the terms of this alliance, the Company will realize profitability immediately as a result of guaranteed minimum overrides in addition to the one-time upfront licensing fee. In addition, the Company sees strong growth with profitability in subsequent years due to the annual payout escalators over the next 5 years. The Company will not be responsible for any operating expenses related to CARExpress during the life of the agreement as the new partner assumes all operating expenses. In addition, the licensing partner will commit substantial capital for marketing CARExpress into new businesses the Company has yet to enter.

David M. Daniels, National Health Partners' President and CEO, states "After careful review of all the terms, it is clear to me the Company is in the best position it could possibly be because we will participate in the growth of the CARExpress business over the next 5 years with the guarantee we will receive minimum payouts during the life of the agreement. The total value of this contract has the potential to deliver as much as $1 a share in total earnings over the life of the agreement. It is fairly obvious we would be hard pressed to reject such a lucrative opportunity. We will realize strong earnings during the next 5 years that will allow us tremendous flexibility for expanding into other promising healthcare-related businesses. We've been in talks with some very attractive opportunities but we have not been in a position to take advantage of them; however, with our highly visible earnings we can provide potential acquisitions with strong cash flow right out of the gate. This is the most exciting time in our history and I look forward to providing more information as we work to close this agreement and announce additional high-growth opportunities. We have a lot of upside from here and I am extremely excited with these new developments."
