Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 25, 2005, Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and conducted a conference call to discuss such financial results. The Company is currently reviewing selected financial information with respect to certain of its foreign operations and, therefore, the Company’s auditors have not completed their review of the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005. In light of the foregoing, the Company will not be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 in the extended time period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company believes that the financial information reported on with respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 is accurate and will file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter as soon as it has concluded the reviews of selected financial information with respect to certain of its foreign operations and the auditors have completed their review of the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.
