SEC 1344 (04-09)	Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Natural Health Trends Corp. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 by the due date of March 16, 2018, as management has not yet completed its assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017; accordingly, the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, who is auditing the Company for the first time, has not yet completed its integrated audit. The Company anticipates that its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 will be filed prior to the extension date of April 2, 2018. The Company currently does not expect to report any changes to its financial results from those previously included in its earnings release issued on February 14, 2018 announcing the Company’s results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.
