Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), the undersigned hereby amend their Schedule 13D Statement dated February 14, 2007 (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common Stock (the "Stock") of Natural Health Trends Corp. (the "Issuer").  Unless otherwise indicated, all defined terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.          PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     Item 4 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

     The Reporting Persons no longer have trust or confidence in the Issuer's President, Chief Executive Officer and board member, Ms. Stephanie Hayano, and intend to work towards securing her dismissal or resignation from those positions at the earliest possible moment. The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer's current difficulties can be attributed, for the most part, to Ms. Hayano's lack of industry experience. The Reporting Persons are of the view that Ms. Hayano does not understand the Japanese and Mexican markets in which the Issuer does business and, therefore, is unable timely to resolve direct selling issues in those markets. These two factors, the Reporting Persons believe, have significantly contributed to the declining revenues in the Japanese and Mexican markets. The Reporting Persons are also of the opinion that Ms. Hayano's failure to provide adequate leadership and management during this critical juncture may lead to a substantial decrease in the number of the Issuer's active distributors. Finally, the Reporting Persons are concerned that Ms. Hayano intends to either pull money out of the Issuer's Chinese subsidiary, which may cause a deficiency in that entity's capitalization and ultimately force it to de-register in China, or sell the Issuer's Greater China business at a fraction of its value. Either move may, in the view of the Reporting Persons, destabilize the Issuer's entire global seamless network of independent distributors. The Reporting Persons fear that, because Ms. Hayano lacks industry experience, she does not understand the possible implications of either action.

     Depending on market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decisions, the Reporting Persons may purchase additional shares in the open market or in private transactions or may sell all or a portion of their shares publicly or privately.

     Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act.

Item 7 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Item 7.          MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
