Item 5. Other Events


         The Registrant,  its Acting President and Chairman of the Board, two of
its  subsidiaries and the Chief Operating  Officer of one such  subsidiary,  are
among  the  parties  named  in a civil  complaint  (the  "Complaint")  filed  by
Inter/Media  Time Buying Corp.  ("Claimant") in the United States District Court
for the Central  District of California,  Docket No. 98-9672 AAN. The Complaint,
captioned INTER/MEDIA TIME BUYING CORP. VS. GLOBAL HEALTH ALTERNATIVES,  NATURAL
HEALTH LABORATORIES,  INC., NATURAL HEALTH TRENDS CORP., TROY LABORATORIES,  SIR
BRIAN WOLFSON, JOE GRACE AND JOHN ELDRIDGE,  alleges, among other things, claims
for breach of contract, misrepresentation and fraud with regards to an agreement
for the Claimant's  purported provision of advertising  services.  The Complaint
seeks  compensatory  damages of  approximately  $145,000 as well as  unspecified
general,  special and punitive  damages,  costs and interest,  and a preliminary
injunction  enjoining the defendants  named in the Complaint,  and others,  from
disposing of their assets  other than in the  ordinary and  necessary  course of
business, and also from using any other advertising agency other than Claimant.

         The Registrant  believes all of the  allegations  are without merit and
intends to vigorously defend itself against this Complaint. No assurances can be
given  as to the  ultimate  disposition  of the  matter  or  its  effect  on the
Registrant.
