Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. Announces the Filing of a Class Action Suit Against Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc.

PHILADELPHIA -- The law firm of Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. announces that a securities class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. ("NSPI") (Pink Sheets:NATR) between May 13, 2002 through March 24, 2006, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The Complaint alleges that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements contained in press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the Class Period. Specifically, it is alleged that: (a) the Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded material adverse information about the Company's financial results and then existing business condition; and (b) the Company's financial statements were materially misstated due to the fact that NSPI failed to properly account for foreign transactions. As a result of defendants' false statements, NSPI stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $23.34 per share on September 30, 2005.

On March 20, 2006, the Company announced that its publicly filed financial statements for each quarter from 2002 through 2005 should not be relied upon due to a Preliminary Report issued by its Audit Committee and an independent consultant, which revealed certain "internal control weaknesses" and "potential violations of law." As a result of this disclosure, NSPI's stock dropped to $14.33 per share. On March 24, 2006, following the Company announcement that it had received a noncompliance notice from the NASDAQ due to its failure to file its Form 10-K in a timely manner, the price of its stock fell to $11.68 per share. Five days later, on March 29, 2003, the Company's President and CEO resigned and on April 5, 2006, NSPI announced that it had been delisted from NASDAQ. On April 26, 2006, the Company's stock closed at $10.95 per share.

If you purchased NSPI securities during the Class Period, you may, no later than June 2, 2006, move to be appointed as a Lead Plaintiff in this class action. A Lead Plaintiff is a representative, chosen by the Court, that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 directs Courts to assume that the class member(s) with the "largest financial interest" in the outcome of the case will best serve the class in this capacity. Courts have discretion in determining which class member(s) have the "largest financial interest," and have appointed Lead Plaintiffs with substantial losses in both absolute terms and as a percentage of their net worth.

If you have sustained substantial losses in NSPI securities during the Class Period, please contact Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, P.C. at [e-mail] for a more thorough explanation of the Lead Plaintiff selection process. If you have relatively small losses, your ability to participate in any recovery will be protected by the Lead Plaintiff(s), and you need take no affirmative steps at this time.
