Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On August 17, 2009, Natural Health Trends Corp. (the "Company") received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market providing notification that the Company is not in compliance with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). As of June 30, 2009, the date of the Company's most recently filed financial statements, the Company's total stockholders' equity was $2.0 million.

As a result of the Company's failure to meet the requirements of Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company has until September 1, 2009 to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit its plan to achieve and sustain compliance to Nasdaq before this deadline. If the Company's plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension until November 30, 2009 for the Company to evidence compliance with Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement and remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

A copy of a related press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Natural Health Trends Corp. Notified of Non-Compliance With Minimum Shareholder Equity Requirement for Continued Listing on Nasdaq Capital Market

DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwire - August 21, 2009) - Natural Health Trends Corp. (NASDAQ: BHIP) announced that on August 17, 2009, it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the year ended June 30, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2009, reported that the Company's shareholders' equity on June 30, 2009, was $2.0 million.

As a result, the Staff of the The Nasdaq Stock Market is reviewing the Company's eligibility for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has been asked to facilitate that review no later than September 1, 2009, by submitting a specific plan to achieve compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement. If the Company submits a plan that is accepted, it can be given until November 30, 2009, to regain compliance with this rule.

The Company expects to timely submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement. If the Company does not timely submit a plan, or if its plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, the Company's shares of common stock may be subject to delisting by The Nasdaq Capital Market. In that event, the Company would have the right to appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its common stock to a listing qualifications panel, which would stay the effect of the delisting pending a hearing on the matter before the panel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement.
