Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] | 8. STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS Restricted Stock At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on April 7, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the Natural Health Trends Corp. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) to replace its 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2016 Plan allows for the grant of various equity awards including incentive stock options, non-statutory options, stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights and other similar equity-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, non-employee directors, contractors, consultants and advisors of the Company. Up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) may be issued pursuant to awards granted. At September 30, 2022, 1,219,583 shares remained available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock activity under the 2016 Plan:
|  | Shares |  |  | Wtd. Avg. Price at Date of Issuance |

Phantom Equity On March 15, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted a Phantom Equity Plan (the “Phantom Plan”). Under the terms of the Phantom Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, or advisors awards of phantom shares entitling grantees the right to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon the close of a vesting period, subject to any maximum payment value that the Compensation Committee may set. The vesting of phantom shares is subject to such vesting conditions as the Compensation Committee may specify in a grantee’s award agreement. Grantees of phantom shares shall not by virtue of their receipt of phantom shares have any ownership rights in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Phantom Plan shall continue for a period of ten years, after which no further phantom shares may be awarded (although any phantom shares awarded prior to the expiration of such 10-year period shall be unaffected by the termination of the Phantom Plan). Also on March 15, 2021, awards for 223,307 phantom shares were granted to the Company’s employees and its non-employee directors. The phantom shares vest in eight equal three-month vesting increments, subject to the satisfaction of both a time-based vesting condition and a performance vesting condition. These vesting conditions were deemed satisfied on the grant date for the initial vesting increment. In order for the time-based vesting condition to be satisfied for each vesting period, the grantee must remain continuously employed by, or be otherwise continuously providing services to, the Company through the end of the vesting period, and in order for the performance vesting condition to be satisfied for each vesting period, the performance criteria designated by the Compensation Committee must be satisfied. The initial performance vesting condition to be applied to measure performance for the period between March 15, 2021 and June 15, 2021 was designated by the Compensation Committee on or before April 14, 2021, and will apply to all future performance periods unless the Compensation Committee elects to change the performance vesting condition on a prospective basis. Future changes to the performance vesting condition shall be made on or before the fifteenth day of any future performance period. If either vesting condition is not satisfied for a vesting date, then the phantom shares scheduled to vest on such date will be forfeited. These phantom shares are subject to a maximum payment value of $12.00 per phantom share. An additional award with similar vesting conditions for 9,074 phantom shares was granted on May 14, 2021 to the Company's new non-employee director, while unvested 9,074 phantom shares granted to the Company's departing non-employee director were forfeited on or about the same date. On May 23, 2022 and again on August 31, 2022, the Compensation Committee determined to amend the outstanding awards to provide that the performance criteria shall be deemed satisfied for the three-month performance periods relating to the June 15, 2022 and September 15, 2022 vesting dates, respectively. In making its determination, the Compensation Committee noted that the fact that the performance criteria were not achieved for the relevant performance periods was due to extraordinary business circumstances in China that were clearly beyond the Company’s control. The phantom share awards are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation since they require cash settlement. The grant date of each vesting increment will be established when the Company and the grantees reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of an award, which is the date upon which each performance vesting condition is communicated to the grantees. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance vesting condition will be achieved. The fair value of the liability incurred is remeasured at the end of each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. Awards totaling 27,913 phantom shares vested during each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, resulting in compensation expense of $126,000 and $195,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to their cash settlement. Awards totaling 83,739 phantom shares vested during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, resulting in compensation expense of $475,000 and $588,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to their cash settlement.
