              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


       1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 and six month periods
       ended June 30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that
       may be expected for the full year. 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,
       1998.

       Reclassifications

          Certain prior period amounts have been  reclassified to conform to the
       current period presentation.

       "Kaire Assets") of Kaire International,  Inc. ("Kaire").  In exchange for
       the Kaire Assets, the Company issued (i) to Kaire,  $2,800,000  aggregate
       stated value of Series F Preferred Stock; (ii) to two creditors of Kaire,
       $350,000 aggregate stated value of Series G Preferred and (iii) to Kaire,
       five-year  warrants to purchase  200,000  shares of the Company's  common
       stock exercisable at $4.06 per share. In addition,  Kaire  Nutraceuticals
       has agreed to make  certain  payments  to Kaire each year for a period of
       five  years  (the  "Kaire  Payments")  commencing  with the  year  ending
       December 31, 1999, to be determined as follows:

                  (i)      25% of the net income of Kaire Nutraceuticals if the
                           net sales of Kaire Nutraceuticals in any such year
                           are between $1 and $10,000,000;

                  (ii)     33% of Kaire Nutraceuticals' net income if it's net
                           sales are between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000;

                  (iii)    40% of Kaire Nutraceuticals' net income if it's net
                           sales are between $15,000,000 and $40,000,000; and

                  (iv)     50% of Kaire Nutraceuticals' net income if it's net
                           sales are in excess of $40,000,000.

       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  most of the  year  ended  December  1997,  the
       Company's  ongoing lines of business  were not in  operation,  not having
       been acquired until July 1997 and February 1999, respectively.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared To The Six Months Ended June 30,
       1998

                Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were
       approximately  $7,625,000  as  compared  to net sales for the six  months
       ended  June  30,  1998  of   approximately   $833,000,   an  increase  of
       approximately  $6,792,000 or 915.4%.  Sales for the six months ended June
       30, 1998 were  primarily  from GHA.  The  increase in sales is  primarily
       attributable to KNI's sales of approximately $7,054,000,  which commenced
       operations on February 19, 1999.  GHA's  revenues  declined 31.4% during
       the six months ended June  30, 1999 as compared to the six months ended
       June 30, 1998 due to a change  in the  marketing  approach  used by the
       Company  to a less capital intensive method.

                Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the six months ended
       June 30, 1999 was approximately $1,537,000 or 20.2% of net sales. Cost of
       goods  sold for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998 was  approximately
       $223,000 or 26.8% of net sales. The total cost of goods sold increased by
       approximately  $1,314,000  or  589.2%.  The  Company  believes  that  the
       increase was primarily  attributable  to KNI and its related  operations.
       The  decrease in the cost of goods sold as a  percentage  of net sales is
       also  attributable  to the  effect of KNI's  sales  due to the  different
       pricing structure associated with KNI's sales distribution channel.


                Gross Profit. Gross profit increased from approximately $609,000
       in the six months ended June 30, 1998 to approximately  $6,089,000 in the
       six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was approximately $5,480,000
       or  1,000.0%. The increase was primarily attributable  to the increase in
       KNI's sales.

                                       6
<PAGE>



                Commissions.  Associate commissions were approximately
       $3,605,000 or 47.3% of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 1999
       attributable to KNI's marketing system.

                Selling, General and Administrative  Expenses.  Selling, general
       and  administrative  costs  increased  from  approximately  $1,697,000 or
       203.0% of sales in the six months  ended June 30,  1998 to  approximately
       $3,673,000  or 48.2% of sales in the six months ended June 30,  1999,  an
       increase of approximately  $1,957,000 or 214.0%. The increase in selling,
       general and administration expenses and the corresponding decrease  as  a
       percentage  of  sales  is  primarily attributable to KNI's operations.

                Loss  from   Operations.   Operating   losses   increased   from
       approximately  $1,088,000  in the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998 to
       approximately   $1,190,000   in  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1999
       representing a 9.4% increase in the loss or approximately $102,000
       between comparable periods.  This increase is due to larger losses being
       incurred by GHA due to  reduced  revenues  without a  corresponding
       reduction in operating expenses and increased expenses in corporate
       overhead.

                Minority Interest. The income offset of approximately $11,000 in
       the six months ended June 30, 1999 for minority  interest is a reflection
       of the profitability of the Australia and New Zealand subsidiaries.
       KNI owns 51% of such subsidiaries.

                Gain on Foreign  Exchange.  As a part of the acquisition of KNI,
       the Company acquired  interests in KNI's  subsidiaries in Australia,  New
       Zealand,  Trinidad  and  Tobago and the  United  Kingdom.  During the six
       months ended June 30,  1999,  the net gain  realized on foreign  exchange
       adjustments was approximately $2,600.

                Interest (Net). Interest expenses of  approximately  $269,000 or
       32.2%  of  sales in the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  declined  to
       approximately  $38,000 or 0.5% of sales in the six months  ended June 30,
       1999, a change of approximately  $86,000.  This decrease is due primarily
       to a workout of various debts and payables of GHA resulting in an 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 six months ended June
       30, 1999 or the six months  ended June 30, 1998 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 from  Continuing  Operations.  Net loss from continuing
       operations was approximately  $1,215,000 in the six months ended June 30,
       1999 or 15.9% of net sales as compared  to  approximately  $1,357,000  or
       163 % of net sales in the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  Of the net
       loss from continuing operations,  approximately $121,000 was attributable
       to KNI's operations.

                Discontinued  Operations.  In February  1998, the Company closed
       the natural health care center in Pompano Beach, Florida. The anticipated
       loss on this discontinued operation was reflected in the six months ended
       June 30, 1998.

                Gain on  Forgiveness  of Debt.  During the six months ended June
       30, 1999 and the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  the Company  realized
       approximately a $1,000 gain and a $1,508,000 gain,  respectively,  on the
       workout of various debt and payables of GHA.

                                       7

<PAGE>
                Net Income (Loss). Net loss was approximately  $1,213,000 in the
       six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 or 15.9% of net sales as  compared  to
       approximately  $87,000  net gain or 10.4% of net sales in the six months
       ended June 30, 1998. The difference is primarily related to GHA's gain on
       forgiveness of debt in the approximate amount of $1,508,000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

         The  Company has funded its  working  capital  and capital  expenditure
requirements  primarily from cash provided through  borrowings from institutions
and individuals,  and from the sale of its securities in private placements. The
Company's  other ongoing source of cash receipts has been from the sale of GHA's
and KNI's products.

         In February 1998,  the Company 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,  the Company issued  $4,000,000  face amount of Series C
Preferred  Stock,  net of expenses of $493,000.  From the proceeds  raised,  the
Company 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,  the  Company  issued  $75,000  face  amount of Series D
Preferred Stock, which was redeemed in August 1998 for $91,291.

         In August 1998, the Company issued  $1,650,000  face amount of Series E
Preferred Stock, net of expenses of $211,000.  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 75% of the market  value of
the common stock.

         In August  1998,  the  Company  sold its three  vocational  schools and
certain  related  businesses for $1,778,333  and other  consideration.  From the
proceeds from the sale of the schools, the Company paid $1,030,309 to retire the
remaining  $631,593  face value of Series A  Preferred  Stock  outstanding,  and
$91,291 to redeem all of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding. The remaining
proceeds were used to pay down notes payable.

         In March and April 1999,  the  Company  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 June 1999 the Company borrowed $50,000 from H. Newcomb Eldredge and
in July 1999,  $50,000 from  Capital  Development  S.A.  and  issued  nine month
secured promissory notes, secured by a credit card reserve account.

         In June 1999 the Company borrowed $100,000 from BLH, Inc., debt service
terms are currently being negotiated.

         In August  1999 the  Company  borrowed  $150,000  from  Filin
Corporation, Inc. and issued a secured promissory note, which is due upon the
earlier of the closing of a public offering or September 28, 1999.

         At June 30,  1999,  the  Company's  ratio of current  assets to current
liabilities  was .35 to 1.0 and the  Company  had a working  capital  deficit of
approximately $4,838,000.

         Cash  used in  operations  for the  period  ended  June  30,  1999  was
approximately  $872,000 attributable  primarily to the net loss of approximately
$1,213,000 and decreases in accounts payable of approximately  $1,632,000 offset
by  increases  in accrued  expenses of  approximately  $1,458,000.  Cash used by
investing  activities  during  the  period was  approximately  $440,000, which
primarily relates to the  KNI  acquisition  and  computer  upgrades at KNI. Cash
provided by financing activities during the period was approximately $1,581,000,
primarily from the issuance of preferred  stock of  approximately $1,201,000 and
an increase in the revolving credit line of approximately  $315,000.  Total cash
increased by  approximately $269,000 during the period.

                                        8
<PAGE>
         The Company  anticipates  that  further  additional  financing of
$ 1,500,000 will be required to finance its  continuing  operations  during the
next twelve  months, principally to fund KNI's operations.  The Company has
revised its business plan of marketing development and support for GHA's
products, decreasing its emphasis on mass-market advertising.  Instead, the
Company plans to use its resources for the  development  of other less  capital-
intensive  distribution  channels.  The Company believes that KNI will require
approximately  $1,000,000,  over the next twelve months and that GHA will not
require any  additional  financing  provided that GHA is successful in reaching
satisfactory


settlements  with its  creditors.  As of June 30, 1999,  GHA owed  approximately
$2,129,000 to creditors and had a working capital deficit of $1,818,000.  In the
event  that  the  Company  cannot  reach  satisfactory  settlements  with  GHA's
creditors,  the Company may  discontinue  the operations of GHA. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to achieve satisfactory settlements with
its creditors or secure such  additional  financing.  The  Company's  failure to
achieve  satisfactory  settlements  with  its  creditors  or  secure  additional
financing  would  have a material  adverse  effect on its  business,  prospects,
financial conditions and results of operations.

        The Company has filed a registration statement for a public offering of
approximately $ 5,000,000 of it's securities, however, there can be no assurance
that such public offering will be consummated.


Year 2000 Issue:

        The  Company is  currently  addressing  a universal  situation  commonly
referred  to as the "Year  2000  Problem."  Many  currently  installed  computer
operating systems and software products, as well as, embedded chips are coded to
accept only two-digit  entries to represent  years in the date code field.  This
failure to properly recognize and process date-sensitive information relative to
the  Year  2000 and  beyond  could  cause  business  disruptions  or  result  in
unreliable  data.   Computer  systems  and  products  that  do  not  accommodate
four-digit  year  entries  will need to be  upgraded  or replaced to accept four
digit year entries to  distinguish  years  beginning with 2000 from prior years.
The  Company  is in the  process  of  becoming  compliant  with  the  Year  2000
requirements  and  believes that  its  management  information  systems  will be
compliant on a timely  basis at an  approximate  cost of  $50,000.  The Company
currently does not anticipate that it will experience any material disruption to
its operations as a result of the failure of its management  information systems
to be Year 2000  compliant.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that computer
systems operated by third parties,  including  customers,  vendors,  credit card
transaction processors,  and financial  institutions,  with which its management
information system interface will continue to properly interface with its system
and will  otherwise be compliant on a timely basis with Year 2000  requirements.
The Company  currently is developing a plan to evaluate the Year 2000 compliance
status of third  parties  with which its system  interfaces.  Any failure of the
Company's  management  information  system or the  systems  of third  parties to
timely achieve Year 2000 compliance  could have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition, and operating results.
