The following directors were re-elected to for a one-year term:

--Sir Brian Wolfson, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and a director of Kepner-Tregoe, Inc. and Scientific Games Corporation;

--Mark D. Woodburn, President of the Company and a director since August 2000;

Shareholders also ratified the Audit Committee's appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. BDO Seidman, LLP also served as the Company's independent auditors for the previous fiscal year.

In addition, shareholders approved amendments to the Company's 2002 Stock Option Plan to require that all non-statutory stock options be granted at an exercise price that equals or exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant, to exclude the 2002 Stock Option Plan from classification as an ERISA plan, and to eliminate the ability of an option participant to pay the exercise price with the delivery of a promissory note or with the proceeds of a Company loan. The shareholders also approved changes that reduced the number of stock options exercisable upon a change in control of the Company, and increased the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance under the 2002 Stock Plan from 1,225,000 shares to 1,550,000 shares.

The proposal to reincorporate the Company in the State of Delaware from the State of Florida was not considered at the annual meeting. Although slightly less than 90% of votes cast with respect to this proposal voted in favor of it, approval of the reincorporation of the Company in Delaware requires that a majority of the shares outstanding vote in favor of this proposal. Accordingly, as announced at the annual meeting of shareholders, the meeting was adjourned with respect to this proposal to Friday, June 10, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. at 12901 Hutton Drive, Dallas (Farmers Branch), Texas to permit all shareholders of the Company adequate time to consider and vote upon the reincorporation proposal.

Mark Woodburn, President of Natural Health Trends, said, "We appreciate our shareholders' continued support. We are pleased to see that our shareholders strongly support the election of our Board of Directors, the appointment of our independent auditors and the amendments to our stock option plan. We urge those shareholders that have not voted or given instructions to their brokers to vote on the proposal to reincorporate the Company in Delaware to do so as soon as possible. We would like to increase stockholder participation on this important proposal so that we can act on the will of a majority of the Company's stockholders."

It is not necessary for stockholders who have already voted by proxy with respect to the reincorporation proposal to take any further action if they do not wish to change their votes. All stockholders as of the original record date of April 13, 2005 will be entitled to vote by proxy or in person at the reconvened meeting.
