Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Natural Health Trends Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration
Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of
3,818,614 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Shares”), 1,759,307 of which are
issuable upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, and 2,059,307
of which are issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants (collectively, the “Underlying Common
Stock”).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar with originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records,
certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable in
connection with this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed (without any independent
investigation) the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of originals of
such copies and the authenticity of telegraphic or telephonic confirmations of public officials and
others. As to facts material to our opinion, we have relied upon (without any independent
investigation) certificates or telegraphic or telephonic confirmations of public officials and
certificates, documents, statements and other information of the Company or its representatives or
officers.
In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed
that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other,
to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by
all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such
documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. Based upon the foregoing,
we are of the opinion that the Underlying Common Stock has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and such Underlying Common Stock, when issued and delivered upon conversion in
accordance with the terms of the Series A preferred stock or the exercise of the warrants, as the
case may be, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the
United States of America, each as presently in effect, and is based upon our review of such laws
and the reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws. We do not express any opinion as to
the laws of any other jurisdiction and we express no opinion as to the effect of any other laws on
the opinions stated herein.
The opinions expressed are based on the assumptions set forth herein and the laws and
regulations currently in effect, and we do not undertake and hereby disclaim any obligation to
advise you of any change with respect to any matter set forth herein.
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
