Natural Health Trends Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter 2007 Results

DALLAS, TX -- 03/31/2008 -- Natural Health Trends Corp. (NASDAQ: BHIP) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

Sales in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $13.0 million, and net loss was $15.3 million, including $12.4 million of goodwill impairment and $0.6 million of severance costs.

Chris Sharng, the Company's President, said, "Last year, our revenues decreased faster than we could cut costs. But, on a monthly basis, our sales appear to have stabilized, particularly in our biggest market of Hong Kong. Revenues were roughly $4 million a month from October through March, with the exception of an expected dip over the Chinese New Year in early February. We believe that we have regained revenue momentum through certain personnel changes, compensation plan changes and dynamic training sessions to which our members seem to be enthusiastically responding. In fact, our estimate is that March was our best month in terms of revenue since October."

Mr. Sharng continued, "With the cost cutting program that we began late last year having been almost fully realized, we are comfortable at this point with our levels of both cash and cash flow. We believe that the stabilized top line and a much lower cost structure will further positively impact our cash flow."
