                           NATURAL HEALTH TRENDS CORP.

                   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.

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
<PAGE>

         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.

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.

     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.
