<b>Natural Health Trends Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter and Twelve Months 2006 Results</b>
<p>DALLAS, TX -- 03/27/2007 --  Natural Health Trends Corp. (NASDAQ: BHIP), an
international direct-selling company, today announced its financial results
for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006.
</p>
<p>
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $27.7 million, compared to $43.7
million and $29.9 million for the fourth quarter a year ago and the third
quarter of 2006, respectively.  Part of this decrease of $16.0 million from
the prior year was due to sale of the Company's 51% equity interest in KGC
Networks ("KGC"), effective December 31, 2005.  In the fourth quarter of
2006, the Company recognized $1.7 million of Gourmet Coffee Caf&#233;&#8482;
revenue from product that was substantially shipped during 2005 but not
recognized at that time due to insufficient return and warranty experience.
Excluding KGC and the Gourmet Coffee Caf&#233;&#8482; revenue, the Company's sales
decreased $9.9 million, or 28%, over the comparable period in the prior
year.  The decline in revenue was primarily due to continued distractions
and disruptions caused by the management changes of the last fifteen months
as well as the members' reaction to the uncertain regulatory environment in
China that is presently impacting the Hong Kong-based business.  Hong Kong
sales decreased $9.6 million, or 37%, over the comparable period a year
ago.
</p>
<p>
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 96,000 active distributors,
compared to 103,000 and 119,000 active independent distributors at the end
of the third quarter of 2006 and at the end of 2005, respectively,
excluding KGC and the Kaire subsidiaries, which were sold effective July 1,
2006. The Company considers a distributor "active" if they have placed at
least one product order during the preceding year.
</p>
<p>
For the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company incurred a net loss of $5.0
million, or $0.61 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.6
million, or $0.79 per fully diluted share, a year ago in the comparable
quarter, and a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted share,
in the prior quarter.  For the twelve months of 2006, the Company incurred
a net loss of $11.5 million, or $1.42 per fully diluted share, compared to
a net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.70 per fully diluted share, a year ago.
</p>
<p>
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company recognized the following
non-recurring items which negatively impacted earnings (in millions):
<pre>
Gourmet Coffee Caf&#233;(TM) revenue                 $  1.7
Gourmet Coffee Caf&#233;(TM) costs                     (1.3)
Provision for inventory losses                    (2.4)
Charge to vacate the Japan distributor gallery
 (included in SG&amp;A)                               (0.9)
Intangible impairment (included in SG&amp;A)          (0.2)
                                                ------
Pre-tax loss impact                             $ (3.1)
                                                ======
</pre>
As of December 31, 2006, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled
$11.9 million, including $4.1 million in China that may not be freely
transferable to other countries because the Company's Chinese subsidiary is
subject to a business license capitalization requirement.  The $11.9
million represented a decrease of $0.2 million from the balance as of
September 30, 2006.
</p>
<p>
Mr. Chris T. Sharng, the Company's President, said, "The sales environment,
especially for our Hong Kong-based business, continues to be challenging.
We expect the first quarter sales to be around $20.0 million.  Our top
priority is to bring costs, both SG&amp;A and commissions, in line with
revenue.  We are working to reduce operating costs particularly in Japan,
Mexico and North America.  We also plan to phase in a commission
enhancement program starting from the mid-second quarter so that the payout
can be more comparable to industry standards.  On the revenue side, we are
focusing our resources on Greater China, Korea and Europe.  Finally, we
target to launch a China retail portal with the objective to begin taking
revenue in China by the end of the second quarter."
</p>
<p>
The Company will host a conference call at 11:30 a.m. EDT, March 28, 2007.
