Natural Health Trends Corp.
2050 Diplomat Drive
Dallas, Texas
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 that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto and such documents,
corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes
of this opinion, including, without limitation, (a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company, (b) the Bylaws of the Company and (c) certain resolutions adopted by the board of
directors of the Company. We have relied, with respect to certain factual matters, on the
representations of officers of the Company and documents furnished to us by the Company without
independent verification of their accuracy. We have also assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.
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.
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
