NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Natural Health Trends Corp. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring accruals) of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $5,523,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $6,597,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, and they recorded net losses of approximately $4,000 and $575,000 respectively, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continued existence is dependent on its ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing and to generate profits from operations. 2. In March 2000, the Company sold 1,000 shares of Series J Preferred Stock, par value $1,000 per share. The preferred stock pays a dividend at the rate of 10% per annum. The preferred stock and the accrued dividends thereon are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of the closing bid price on the date of issuance or 70% of the average closing bid price of the common stock for the lowest three trading days during the twenty day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company received notice of conversion from a holder. In connection with the offering of the Series J Preferred Stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 141,907 shares of it's common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share. 3. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company received notice of conversion on 359 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. The Company issued 434,660 shares of common stock in settlement of the 359 shares of Series H Preferred Stock and the accrued dividends thereon. The following table sets forth the conversions and the stock price thereof as of the date of conversion. Conversion Date Series H Common stock Preferred Stock conversion price Face Value ------------------- -- ----------------- --- ----------------- 01/25/00 $34,000 $1.01 01/27/00 15,154 1.04 02/15/00 125,000 0.95 02/16/00 185,000 1.02 4 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Item 1 hereof. Forward Looking Statements When used in Form 10-QSB and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words "will likely result", "the Company expects", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimated", "projected", "outlook" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward- looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, each of which speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company has no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. Overview Prior to August 1997, the Company's operations consisted of the operations of Natural Health Care Centers, and vocational schools. Upon the acquisition of Global Health Alternatives, Inc. ("GHA") on July 23, 1997, the Company commenced marketing and distributing a line of natural, over-the-counter homeopathic pharmaceutical products. In February 1999, the Company formed a subsidiary, Kaire Nutraceuticals, Inc.("KNI"), and acquired the assets of Kaire International, Inc. and commenced marketing and distributing a line of natural, herbal based dietary supplements and personal care products through an established network marketing system. The Company discontinued the operations of the natural health care centers during the third quarter of 1997 and sold the vocational schools in August 1998. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company ceased GHA activity and in February 2000 granted certain licensing agreements to two parties to distribute the GHA products. Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared To The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Net Sales. Net sales for three months ended March 31, 2000 were approximately $3,186,000 as compared to net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 of approximately $2,805,000, an increase of approximately $381,000 or 13.6%. The increase in sales is primarily attributable to KNI's recognition of previously deferred sales of approximately $528,000. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately $682,000 or 21.4% of net sales. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was approximately $668,000 or 23.8% of net sales. The total cost of goods sold increased by approximately $14,000 or 2.1%. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased from approximately $2,137,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to approximately $2,504,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was approximately $367,000 or 17.2%. The increase was attributable to higher sales volume in 2000 and lower cost of goods sold. 5 Commissions. Associate commissions were approximately $1,296,000 or 40.7% of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to approximately $1,262,000 or 45.0% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999. This decrease is attributable to a new commission structure, that was started in December 1999, having full effect. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased from approximately $1,431,000 or 51.0% of sales in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to approximately $1,234,000 or 38.7% of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of approximately $197,000 or 13.8%. The decrease is due primarily to KNI's reduction of expenses. Loss from Operations. Operating losses decreased from approximately $556,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to approximately $26,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 representing a 95.3% decrease in the loss of approximately $530,000 between comparable periods. This decrease is due to a reduction of overhead at GHA and the closure of the New York corporate offices in December 1999. Minority Interest. The loss offset of approximately $25,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 for minority interest was a reflection of the decreased profitability of the Australia and New Zealand subsidiaries. KNI owns 51% of such subsidiaries. Gain (Loss) on Foreign Exchange. The Company operates KNI's subsidiaries in Australia, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the net gain on foreign exchange adjustments was approximately $3,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $9,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999. Other Expenses. Other expenses of approximately $10,000 or 0.4% of sales in the three months ended March 31, 1999 declined to approximately $8,000 or 0.2% of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2000, a change of approximately $2,000. This decrease is due primarily to overall reduction in interest bearing liabilities. Income Taxes. Income tax benefits were not reflected in either period. The anticipated benefits of utilizing net operating losses against future profits was not recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2000 or the three months ended March 31, 1999 under the provisions of Financial Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (Accounting for Income Taxes), utilizing its loss carryforwards as a component of income tax expense. A valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has not been recorded, as management of the Company has not been able to determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Net Loss. Net loss from continuing operations was approximately $4,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 or 0.1% of net sales as compared to approximately $575,000 or 20.5% of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 1999. Of the decrease in net loss from continuing operations, approximately $15,000 was attributable to GHA's operations and the remaining net income is primarily attributable to KNI's recognition of previously deferred sales of approximately $528,000. 6 Liquidity and Capital Resources: We have funded our working capital and capital expenditure requirements primarily from cash provided through borrowings from institutions and individuals, and from the sale of our securities in private placements. Our other ongoing source of cash receipts has been from the sale of Global Health's and Kaire Nutraceuticals' products. In February 1998, we issued $300,000 face amount of Series B Preferred Stock, net of expenses of $38,500. The Series B Preferred Stock has been converted into 541,330 shares of common stock. In April 1998, we issued $4,000,000 face amount of Series C Preferred Stock, net of expenses of $492,500 from the proceeds raised, we paid $2,500,000 to retire $1,568,407 face value of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series C Preferred Stock has been converted into 3,608,296 shares of common stock. In July 1998, we issued $75,000 face amount of Series D Preferred Stock, which was redeemed in August 1998 for $91,291. In August 1998, we issued $1,650,000 face amount of Series E Preferred Stock, net of expenses of $210,500. The Series E Preferred Stock pays dividends of 10% per annum and is convertible into shares of common stock at the lower of the closing bid price on the date of issue or 75% of the market value of the common stock. In September 1999, $610,000 of face amount of Series E Preferred Stock was converted into 603,130 shares of common stock. In August 1998, we sold our three vocational schools and certain related businesses for $1,778,333 and other consideration. From the proceeds from the sale of the schools, we paid $1,030,309 to retire the remaining $631,593 face value of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, and $91,291 to redeem all of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down payables. In March and April 1999, we issued $1,400,000 of Series H Preferred Stock. The Series H Preferred Stock pays dividends of 10% per annum and is convertible into shares of common stock at the lower of the closing bid price on the date of issue or 75% of the market value of the common stock. In the first quarter of 2000, 359.154 shares of Series H Preferred Stock were converted into 434,660 shares of the Company's common stock. In June 1999, we borrowed $100,000 from Domain Investments, Inc. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and is payable on demand. The note is convertible into shares of common stock at a discount equal to 60% of the average closing bid price of the common stock on the three days preceding notice of conversion. 7 In July and August 1999 we borrowed $150,000 from Filin Corporation, and issued a secured promissory note due on the earlier of 60 days from the date of issuance or upon the sale of its securities resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 and bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum, but in no event less than $12,000. In October 1999 we amended the promissory note to provide that the note is payable upon demand and is convertible into shares of common stock at a discount equal to 60% of the average closing bid price of the common stock on the three days preceding notice of conversion. In October 1999, we borrowed $100,000 from Domain Investments, Inc. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and is payable on demand. The note is convertible into shares of common stock at a discount equal to 60% of the average closing bid price of the common stock on the three days preceding notice of conversion. In November 1999, we borrowed $70,000 from Domain Investments, Inc. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and is payable on demand. The note is convertible into shares of common stock at a discount equal to 60% of the average closing bid price of the common stock on the three days preceding notice of conversion. This note was repaid with interest in March 2000. During 1999, the Company has not made its payroll tax deposits with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the various state taxing authorities on a timely basis. The Company has filed all required payroll tax returns and is currently negotiating a payment plan with the IRS. As of March 31, 2000, the Company owes approximately $730,000 of delinquent payroll tax liabilities including interest and penalties. The Company's failure to pay its delinquent payroll tax liabilities could result in tax liens being filed by various taxing authorities. During 1999, the Company did not make its sales tax deposits with the various sales tax authorities on a timely basis. The Company has filed all required sales tax returns. As of March 31, 2000, the Company owed approximately $289,000 in current and delinquent sales taxes which is included in other current liabilities. The Company's failure to pay its delinquent sales taxes could result in tax liens being filed by various taxing authorities. In March 2000, we sold 1,000 shares of Series J Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share realizing net proceeds of $1,000,000. The preferred stock pays a dividend at the rate of 10% per annum. The preferred stock and the accrued dividends thereon are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of the closing bid price on the date of issuance or 70% of the average closing bid price of the common stock for the lowest three trading days during the twenty day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company receives notice of conversion from a holder. In connection with the offering of the Series J Preferred Stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 141,907 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share. At March 31, 2000, our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .30 to 1.0 and we had a working capital deficit of approximately $5,523,000. Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately $529,000. Cash provided by investing activities during the period was approximately $33,000, which primarily relates to the return of restricted cash in connection with credit card agreements at Kaire. Cash provided by financing activities during the period was approximately $338,000, primarily from the issuance of preferred stock of approximately $1,000,000 and partially offset by the repayment of certain notes payable of approximately $340,000. Total cash decreased by approximately $159,000 during the period. 8 Our independent auditors' report on our consolidated financial statements stated as of December 31, 1999 due to net losses and a working capital deficit, there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company requires additional financing to continue operations of which there can be no assurance. Management has revised its business plan of marketing development and support for Global Health's products, licensing rights to sell its products. We believe that the Company will require approximately $1,500,000, primarily to finance operations for the next 12 months assuming that we do not have to satisfy certain existing obligations. The Company intends to raise such additional financing through additional debt and equity financings, of which there can be no assurance and for which there are no commitments or definitive agreements. We have not reached satisfactory settlements with Global Health's creditors and we have ceased the operations of Global Health and may file for protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve satisfactory settlements with our creditors or secure such additional financing. The failure of Natural Health Trends to achieve satisfactory settlements with our creditors and secure additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial conditions and results of operations and we may have to curtail or cease operations.

The Company received four notices of conversion on its Series H Preferred Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and redeemed $359.154, face value in exchange for 434,600 shares of the Company's common stock.
