Nachdem diese Aktie aufgrund des Newsflow einige Achterbahnfahrt hinter sich hat, kommen nun die gewohnt guten News. Diese Direct Selling Gesellschaft ist neben Usana Health Sciences ein echter Burner was das Gewinn- und Umsatzwachstum angeht - und diese Aktie ist schreiend niedrig bewertet!!!

Unter: www.naturalhealthtrendscorp.com kann sich jeder selbst ein Bild machen (Kürzel: nhlc.ob).

Spätestens mit den nächsten Zahlen sollte die Aktie wieder mehr in den Vordergrund rücken.

Ich kann nur raten: mit ein wenig Zeit zugreifen!

Natural Health Trends Corp. Launches Two New Products at Las Vegas Convention
180 Degree Life System Carb-Blocker Diet Supplement Blocks Starches, Noni Juice Promotes Good Health

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 08, 2003 08:31 AM

DALLAS, Texas, Oct 8, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Natural Health Trends Corp. (OTC BB: NHLC), an international direct-selling company, announced on September 26 the launch of a new carbohydrate blocker for the $40 billion weight loss market as well as a Noni-juice beverage for the health food market at its Lexxus Division distributor convention in Las Vegas, NV.

180 Degree Life System Carb-Blocker is a carbohydrate blocker developed by Natural Health Trends Corp. with Dr. Steven Rosenblatt, author of the best selling book "The Starch Blocker Diet" (Harper Collins). Over 20 years of research stand behind this revolutionary, all-natural, non-stimulant weight loss product synthesized from white kidney beans. By blocking up to 1/3 of the calories a dieter eats, this ephedra-free and ma huang-free, proprietary formula helps burn fat by preventing the starch in foods, such as pizza, pasta, bread, rice and potatoes from turning into sugar, forcing the body to use stored fat for energy.

Mark Woodburn, president of Natural Health Trends Corp., said, "We are very excited about this product because it approaches dieting sensibly and scientifically. The research behind the low-carbohydrate diets has shown that starches contribute greatly to the overweight epidemic. 180 Degree Life System Carb-Blocker takes that knowledge one step further by letting you eat some starches and preventing your body from absorbing all the calories in them."

Dr. Steven Rosenblatt said, "Excess weight is more serious than not looking good in a swimming suit, it is a potential threat to your health and even your life. Studies have shown that overweight women have a 62% higher death rate than women who are not, and for men, it`s 52% higher. Diabetes, cancer and arthritis are just some of the problems that being too heavy can cause. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say 65% of U.S. adults are overweight."

In addition to the 180 Degree Life System Carb-Blocker, Natural Health Trends Corp. introduced its first Noni-fruit juice drink, called "Premium Noni Juice". Also known as Indian Mulberry and Morinda Citrifolia, Noni-fruit comes from the South Pacific, where the local people have used it for thousands of years because it is rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients and bioflavonoids. The 100% organic Noni fruit in "Premium Noni Juice" is harvested in internationally certified organic plantations on the Samoan Islands in the South Pacific. The all-natural drink contains Noni juice as well as pineapple, white grape and Concord grape juices.

Woodburn said, "Of all the fruits, Noni has the highest known concentration of pro-xeronine, which the body turns into xeronine, which seems to enhance the ability of the body`s cells to absorb nutrients and makes them more metabolically efficient. While promising research of the positive attributes of Noni juice is still in the early stages, preliminary results and anecdotal evidence have made believers out of our development team. And unlike many health drinks, our Noni juice tastes great."

Natural Health Trends Corp. showcased the products over the weekend of September 26-28 at a convention in Las Vegas where it hosted its Lexxus Division distributors in North America.

Woodburn concluded, "We have got the greatest sales force in the business, and they deserve to sell the greatest products we can design. We expect tremendous support for both the 180 Degree Life System Carb-Blocker and Premium Noni Juice, and our product development pipeline is nowhere near empty."

Natural Health Trends Corp. is an international direct-selling company operating in more than 30 markets throughout Asia, North America and Eastern Europe. The Company markets premium quality personal care products under the Lexxus brand and markets its nutritional supplement products under the Kaire brand.

Das Vertrauen der Anleger scheint durch den withdraw des Amexlistings im Moment wirklich erschüttert zu sein. An den fundamentalen Daten hat sich allerdings nichts geändert.

Die Company wird dieses Jahr mindestens ein EPS von 1 $ erreichen (wenn nicht mehr)- 50 cent sind nach zwei Quartalen schon verdient - und das Weihnachtsgeschäft lockt noch.

Das sit doch der Wahnsinn oder? Ich meine, bei den phänomenalen Wachstumsraten hat diese Aktie ein 2003ér KGV von unter 7 !!!!! Und dann der hochaktuelle Markt!

Ich denke, dieser Aktie stehen noch sehr rosige Zeiten bevor. Wenn sie jetzt keiner haben will ist doch der richtige Moment zum Einstieg gekommen!
Ich werde noch mal nachlegen

Nach diesem desaströsen Einbruch des Aktienkurses scheint sich der Kurs wieder zu erholen.

Bald kommen die neuen Zahlen, und ich bin sehr gespannt, was das Ergebnis hermacht. Es kursieren Gerüchte, nach denen Rekordumsätze erwartet werden - von dem Ergebnis ist aber keine Rede.

Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie die Zahlen ausfallen - und ob hinter dem Rüchzug von der Amex nicht doch eher rechtliche Gründe stehen (die Gesellschaft macht zu viel Umsatz an Asiatischen Märkten und zu wenig an Amerikanischen!? und wird deshalb an der AMEX nicht zugelassen.).

Nachdem Usana die Zahlen gemeldet hat, ist der Kurs wieder mal abgegangen - Grund der guten Zahlen soll mitunter die Eröffnung einer Filiale in Südkorea gewesen sein. NHLC hat hier eine Filiale noch ein wenig früher als Usanan eröffnet.

Wie gesagt: das hier ist ein reines Zockerspiel - wenn die Zahlen allerdings einigermaßen gut ausfallen, wird das Vertrauen wiederkommen - und plötzlich bemerkt die Masse auch, wie verdammt spottbillig dieses Unternehmen eigentlich ist...

Keine Neuigkeiten zu dem Unternehmen. Aber eigentlich gehören die ja nun wirklich nicht mehr in den OTC BB Bereich.

Auf die Zahlen Mitte November bin ich äußerst gespannt. Hier kann eine Menge Vertrauen wieder gut gemacht werden.

Da mußte ja was im Busch sein bei dem Bewertungsabschlag. Wenn jetzt die Zahlen kommen heißt es entweder Hopp oder TOP! Mal sehen, was die da wie bereinigen wollen. Bin wahnsinnig gespannt, was dabei raus kommt:

Natural Health Trends Corp. to File Extension for Third-Quarter Results
Monday November 17, 10:06 am ET


DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2003--Natural Health Trends Corp. (OTC BB: NHLC), an international direct-selling company, today announced that it will file a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to extend the deadline for filing its Form 10-QSB for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 until Wednesday, November 19, 2003.
Mark Woodburn, President of Natural Health Trends Corp. stated, "The Company will require a few more days to prepare its final results for the third quarter of 2003 and we plan to file within the five day extension period. We are currently reviewing our prior accounting practices, particularly with respect to certain revenue recognition matters relating to administrative enrollment fees received from distributors. We have not concluded our analysis, but believe that these revenues actually received and recorded as current income may need to be deferred under generally accepted accounting principles. This would require us to reduce such revenues recorded in fiscal years 2001 and 2002 and increase such revenues for the current year. During this analysis, we are reviewing the adequacy of our reserves for returns and refunds. In addition, we are reviewing the accounting treatment for a disposition of a subsidiary dating back to 2001. While we are not prepared to disclose financial results at this time, I will say that we are extremely pleased with the performance of the business during the third quarter. Management believes that product shipments, the number of independent distributors of our products, and total revenues have all increased substantially compared with the second quarter of this year as well as the third quarter of 2002."

Natural Health Trends Corp. is an international direct-selling company operating in more than 30 markets throughout Asia, North America and Eastern Europe. The Company markets premium quality personal care products under the Lexxus brand and markets its nutritional supplement products under the Kaire brand.

jetzt schaun`s die buben!!!

[Falke28]

Na, das waren doch wirklich alles andere als enttäuschende Zahlen! Jetzt kann das Vertrauen zurückkommen - und anhand der nun hoffentlich beendeten Korrekturen eine faire Bewertung angestrebt werden. Diese liegt bei mind. 20-25 $ würde ich sagen.

Wenn die Aktie jetzt endlich bald an der AMEX oder an der NASDAQ gelistet werden sollte könnten diese Höhen bei anhaltenem Wachstum in 6 Monaten erreicht werden denke ich.

Bei dieser fundamentalen Perle nach den nun erschienenden Zahlen auf jeden Fall einen Play wert. Da bin ich groß dabei!

Also viel Glück allen!

Natural Health Trends Corp. Reports Strong Growth in Sales and Operating Income for Both the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
Wednesday November 19, 2:49 pm ET
Net Sales for Three and Nine Months Increase in Excess of 50% Company Restates Financial Statements


DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2003-- Natural Health Trends Corp. (OTC BB: NHLC), an international direct-selling company, announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
ADVERTISEMENT


Nine-Month Results

Net sales for the nine months rose by 60% to $39.4 million from $24.6 million (as restated) for the same period in 2002. The increased sales were primarily from additional sales of Lexxus products and the expansion of Lexxus into new international markets, including the launch of Lexxus into South Korea in June 2003. In addition, revenues increased due to the deferral of revenue related to the administrative enrollment fee of distributors, partially offset by a reserve for refunds and sales returns coupled with a slight decrease in the sales of eKaire products.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 climbed to $31.9 million from $20.1 million (as restated) for the same period in 2002. The increase in gross profit was attributable to higher sales volumes by Lexxus and also attributable to the deferral of both revenue and cost of sales related to the administrative enrollment fee of distributors.

The nine months ending September 30, 2003 boasted an operating income of $4.9 million, which was a substantial increase over the results in the same period of 2002 of $0.5 million (as restated).

Net income for the period rose to $3.4 million, or $0.75 per basic share and $0.61 per diluted share, from $0.8 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the same restated period in 2002. In the intervening year, the number of basic shares rose to 4.6 million (5.7 million diluted) as of September 30, 2003 from 2.9 million (2.9 million diluted) as of September 30, 2002. The increase in net income is due to increased sales and efficient cost containment efforts partially offset by an income tax provision.

Restatement of Financial Statements

During the third quarter, the Company determined that under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" administrative enrollment fees received from distributors actually received and recorded as current sales in prior quarters should have been deferred and recognized systematically to income over the twelve-month period for which the fees are earned. A restatement resulted in net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 being decreased by approximately $156,000 and $1,537,000, respectively. The restatement in net sales resulted in a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales for direct costs paid to a third party associated with the administrative enrollment fees received from distributors. Compared to amounts previously reported, the cost of sales decreased by approximately $115,000 and $324,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively.

In addition, the Company reviewed the adequacy of its reserves for distributor sales returns and refunds as of September 30, 2003 and for comparative prior periods. Based upon an analysis of the Company`s historical returns and refund trends by country, it was determined that the reserves for returns and refunds for prior quarters were not adequate and should be restated. The restatement resulted in net sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 being decreased by approximately $88,000 and $262,000, respectively, with corresponding adjustments to cost of sales for the estimated cost of products returned.

As previously disclosed in the Company`s 2001 and 2002 Form 10-KSB, the Company sold in 2001 all of the outstanding common stock in Kaire Nutraceuticals, Inc. ("Kaire"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary, to a third party. The gain on the sale of Kaire of approximately $3.1 million was previously deferred. The Company subsequently recognized into income approximately $1.9 million from the transaction over the period from Q4 2001 through Q2 2003. Based upon a review of the transaction, the Company now believes the gain on sale of Kaire should have been recognized only in 2001 and 2002. There is no impact of this restatement for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2002.

The Company disclosed in it`s 2002 Form 10-KSB that it had a net operating loss carry forward at December 31, 2002 of approximately $6,000,000, subject to certain limitations. Consequently, the Company made no provision for income taxes for any period in either 2001 or 2002. Upon further review, it has been determined that the available net operating loss is not expected to be sufficient to offset all of the taxable income in 2002 and 2003 and that an estimated income tax provision in the amount of $600,000 and $1,200,000 is necessary for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. There is, however, no impact of this restatement for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Mark Woodburn, President of Natural Health Trends Corp., stated, "We are extremely pleased with our current results, which have set a company record for revenue." He added, "We were, however, very disappointed that these accounting issues arose and had the effect of delaying the announcement of these results. However, in the current climate, it is vital for us to make certain that everything is properly reviewed and recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US."

Three-Month Results

Net sales for the third quarter 2003 climbed to $16.7 million from $10.8 million in the restated third quarter 2002. Gross profit in the third quarter 2003 reached $13.1 million versus $8.8 million for the same restated period of 2002.

Operating income for the third quarter 2003 increased to $1.9 million from $1.3 million for the same restated period prior year. An income tax provision of $500,000 was recorded in the third quarter 2003, which directly affects the third quarter net income amount. Net income for the third quarter of 2003 held strong at $1.3 million, or $0.27 per basic share and $0.22 per diluted share, from $1.5 million in same restated period prior year, or $0.49 per basic and diluted share.

A conference call will be held today, November 19, 2003, 3:00 pm EST to discuss the company`s quarterly and nine-month results. Those who wish to participate in the conference call may telephone [phone] approximately 15 minutes before the 3:00 pm starting time.

PS: Was für ein Krimi bei diesem Papier! Sauber! Da lacht das Zockerherz. Hat mich mindestens zwei Jahre gekostet das Teil...

[gni]

vergleich mal mit usana, dann weißt du wo die reise
hingeht!

[Falke28]

Vor allem nachdem viel des EPS ja durch die Steuerzahlungen "verloren" gegangen ist. Das operative Geschäft ist nach wie vor voll intakt.

Wenn jetzt alle (oder die meisten) Unklarheiten bei der Bilanzierung ausgeräumt sind, kann es ja wieder fröhlich bergauf gehen.

Das wichtigste ist, das das Überraschungsmoment ab jetzt auf der positiven Seite zu liegen scheint - vor allem da dieses Papier nach wie vor ein KGV von 8 (!) fährt.

Der Vergleich mit Usana könnte teils herangezogen werden.

Na dann ab jetzt langsam aber sicher bergauf!


Gruß
Falke28

[Falke28]

Wie gesagt: langsam bergauf...

Aber ich denke, dass auf jeden Fall das bisherige Hoch bald fallen dürfte. Der Aufschwung wird sich dann beschleunigen!

Sollte NHLC nun ca. 0,85 - 1 $ verdienen, so stehen sie von der bewertung her sehr gut da. Ein KGV von 10 auf 2003ér Basis! USNA hat dagegen ein KGV von 45 (nur bedingt vergleichbar). Aber ein Verdopplungs- bis Verdreifachungspotenzial ist allemal drin!

Sollte eine Meldung kommen, nach der nun doch noch das Listing an einer anderen Börse angestrebt wird kann es noch einmal deutlich bergauf gehen.

Mal sehen...

jetzt merken die ersten wie unterbewertet nhlc
tatsächlich ist, da spielt es auch überhaupt keine
rolle an welcher börse sie notiert ist!

[Falke28]

Ach, diese Aktie entwickelt sich einfach prächtig.

@gni
Vor allem ist das schöne, dass so gut wie jeder aus der Aktie raus ist, da es so viel Ärger um die Gesellschaft gegeben hat. Nun verflüchtigen sich die Bedenken erst allmählich - die größeren Schübe kommen also erst noch!

Weit entfernt von dem Allzeithoch ist das Papier ja nicht mehr. Man stelle sich vor was passiert, wenn nun ein weiteres Listing hinzu kommt!

Gruß
Falke28

[gni]

hält sich recht wacker, unsere kleine - gemessen am
übrigen marktumfeld!
Scheint so als seien tatsächlich alle zittrigen Hände
aus dem Spiel, wenn dem so ist, dann weißt du in welche
richtung es ab nun wieder geht!!!

[Falke28]

Ich sehe das ganz ähnlich.

Nur will im Moment auch kein Ausbruch erfolgen - somit könnte noch mal nach unten angetäuscht werden. Aber sie hält sich wirklich sehr wacker.

Vor allem ist die Bewertung immer noch absolut lächerlich.
Ich hoffe, die entscheiden sich noch mal für ein besseres Börsensegment. Dann wären aus dieser Sicht wirklich alle Unsicherheiten ausgeräumt.

Gruß
Falke28

[gni]

nhlc ist dabei ihre bilanzierungsmethode in ordnung zu
bringen, außerdem haben sie einen internationalen
auditor angemietet, nach Fertigstellung des Audits
(2004) will nhlc wieder ein listing anstreben!
Na dann freut euch auf`s neue Jahr!

[Falke28]

Na wie wunderbar sich diese Aktie hält! Nun können wir auf ein neues alltime high setzen (über 11,55). Wird dann mit den nächsten Zahlen der gute Trend bestätigt und ein neues Listing in Aussicht gestellt sieht es verdammt gut aus würde ich sagen...

Gruß
Falke28

[Falke28]

Eindeutig ein größerer Käufer am Montag in dieser Aktie. Wir stehen kurz vor einem neuen Alltime-High! Und dabei hat die Aktie erst ein KGV von 14 !!!

Man vergleiche das mal mit vielen anderen Healthcarewerten.
Ich denke, ein (etwas) größerer Käufer tritt nur bei endgültigen Bilanzbereinigungen auf. Sonst würde hier wirklich kein Mensch kaufen außer ein paar Zockern.

Also, ich zumindest sehe mindestens rosa für diesen Wert!

[Falke28]

Und ein neues Alltime-High!!! Aber nicht mit viel Schmackes...

Mal sehen was draus wird.

Gestern waren natürlich erst mal die großen Werte im Focus und die Aktie muß erst mal ein wenig verschnaufen. Dananch (vielleicht Konsolidierung 17,50 bis 18,50) dürfte weiteres Potenzial an 25-28 freiwerden!

Mal sehen, was hier noch für Meldungen kommen...

[Falke28]

Habe in amerikanischen Boards gelesen, dass NHLC mit dem Gedanken spielt in Japan zu expandieren! Korea soll schon wirklich gut laufen. Asien steht eh tierisch auf solchen Kram. Ich denke, die Aktie wird in den nächsten 3 Monaten noch knapp über 30 Dollar steigen können. Das würde gerade einmal einem KGV von ca. 30 entsprechen. Hier kommen wir noch hin!

Also, nun noch in die Konsolidierung rein kaufen!

Natural Health Trends Corp. to File Extension for Filing of Annual Report
Tuesday March 30, 2:37 pm ET


DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2004--Natural Health Trends Corp. (OTCBB: NHLC - News), an international direct-selling company, today announced that it will file an extension with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Company requires additional time to finalize its audited financial statements and expects to file its 2003 Annual Report before the expiration of the 15-day extended filing deadline. As previously disclosed, the Company is restating its 2001 and 2002 Annual Reports and all quarterly reports for 2001, 2002 and 2003, and also expects to file these reports within the same time period.

Management is happy to announce that it anticipates reporting that net sales for 2003 will increase to approximately $62 million from the expected restated net sales of $37 million for 2002. Similarly, the Company looks forward to reporting a significant increase in net income for 2003 as compared to the expected restated 2002 net income.

Mark Woodburn, President of Natural Health Trends Corp., said, "We are very excited and eagerly anticipate reporting our year end financial results as soon as possible and certainly expect to file before the extended filing deadline."

Erstes Kursziel 25-26 $, dann zweites Kursziel knapp über 30 $ !!!

Die Aktie hat auf die 2004ér Gewinne ein KGV von vielleicht 12-14. Dieser Wert wird bestimmt noch auf 20 steigen. Dazu kommen die Phantasien eines Börsensegmentwechsels.

[Chris8888]

@ alle,

bei den guten Zahlen...warum in aller WElt fallen die heute so stark?


MfG

[Falke28]

Ich habe wirklich überhaupt keine Ahnung. Ich weiss nur, dass die nun wieder so billig sind, dass ich kräftig nachkaufen werde. Noch muß ich aber die Gründe richtig prüfen...

Gruß
Falke28

[Falke28]

Der Grund ist:

The company revealed that 285k per day was being sold into Hong Kong during Q1. That represented 25.7MM of the Q1 sales (roughly 68%).

Now, those sales are running 60% LESS than the Q1 pace....a huge difference. That means that nearly 41% of Q1 sales may be lost in Q2.

I sold most of my shares at the open, and will be listening to the CC for more details.


Somit: Die Verkäufe in China sollen zusammengebrochen sein...
Aber: meiner Meinung nach ist dies zumindest höchstwahrscheinlich nur ein temporäres Phänomen. Es laufen ja verschiedenste Expansionen...

Also: ich werde nachkaufen; und zwar kräftig!

Vor allem, weil:

NHLC said on the CC they are applying for NASDAQ NMS Listing. The expect to listed in a few months. Also, the company said Hong Kong is recovering already.

@Falke28,

an sich könnte die Kurshalbierung ja eine schöne Einstiegschance sein - wie oft habe ich mich in den letzten Monaten geärgert letztes Jahr nicht eingestiegen zu sein!
Aber das ganze scheint mir doch recht wackelig.
Grundsätzlich werde ich mißtrauisch, wenn ein Westunternehmen den Großteil seines Umsatzes in einem einzigen asiatischen Land erzielt. Da fragt man sich schon, wieso das ausgerechnet dort und nur dort so ein Renner sein soll. Und es werden Erinnerungen an Comroad wach.
Und wodurch sollte so ein Umsatz dann so plötzlich so massiv einbrechen???
Bist Du da mittlerweile etwas schlauer geworden? Gibt es eine plausible Erklärung?

[Falke28]

Die Antwort kommt ziemlich spät - aber ich habe in letzter Zeit nur Futures gehandelt.

Hier nur schnell von der Internetseite:

Markets
Natural Health Trends Corp. is a global corporation, conducting business in more than 30 countries worldwide. In 2003, approximately 60% of our sales were in Asia.


Ich sehe übrigens weiterhin sehr gute Kaufkurse. Ich habe in letzter Zeit ordentlich hin und her gehandelt - aber eine große Longposition schleife ich immer mit. Die neue Lizenz (retail) ist meiner Meinung nach innerhalb der nächsten Jahre sehr vielversprechend.

Gefällt mir!

Gruß

[mcj8989]

hallo falke

komme so ein bischen ins grübeln, wenn ich mir den 6.monats-chart ansehe.

Was, in gottes namen, haben denn deine scharfen augen da gesehen???



smart

[Falke28]

Dieses Unternehmen bewerte ich fast ausschließlich fundamental - der Chart ist nur kurzfristig entscheidend.

Nach wie vor sehe ich ein schönes Potenzial in diesem Papier - wenn erst mal die retail-Lizenz erworben ist.

Seit den Zahlen hält sich das Papier auch erstaunlich gut - besser als ich dachte. Zum langfristigen Zukauf würde ich aber erst gute Neuigkeiten bzw. die neuen Zahlen abwarten.

Ich sehe zumindest alte Höchstkurse auf Sicht von 9 - 12 Monaten! Ob wir dann drübergehen hängt vor allem von der Lizenz ab meiner Meinung nach.


Gruß
Falke28

[Falke28]

Ein Test der alten Tiefs...

Mutige können nun hervorragend einsteigen! Die Aktie wird in Ihrer Zukunft noch einiges an Performance aufweisen - aber wie tief kann sie bisa dahin fallen?

Dieses Niveau sollte eigentlich halten...


Gruß

[Falke28]

Saugeil finde ich. Führt zwar zu einer gewissen Verwässerung - doch schenkt viel Vertrauen...

Natural Health Trends Corp. Raises Approximately $17 Million in Private Placement
Friday October 8, 8:30 am ET


DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2004--Natural Health Trends Corp. (OTC BB: NHLC - News), an international direct-selling company, announced today that it has sold to institutional and accredited investors units of its common stock and common stock purchase warrants at a price of $12.595 per unit. Each unit includes one share of common stock and one warrant exercisable for a period of 5 years at an exercise price of $12.47 per share. The net proceeds of approximately $16 million will be used to fund the continued expansion of the Company`s multi-national operations.
Avondale Partners, LLC and Sprott Securities (USA) Limited acted as placement agents for the offering. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, and the shares of common stock included in the units.

Mark Woodburn, President of Natural Health Trends Corp., stated "The proceeds from this private placement will be used to open new markets in China, Japan and Mexico and to further our expansion in Korea and the United States. With operations in over 30 countries, we are experienced in identifying and opening new markets. Since we operate in only three of the top ten direct-selling markets in the world, we intend to actively pursue several of these top selling markets. Now that we have readily available capital, we look forward to focusing our efforts on growth and we are very optimistic about the Company`s future."

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the Company`s securities.

Igendwie fällt die Aktie ja nun und charttechnisch sieht das auch nicht besonders doll aus....
Frage: Kann man größere Pakete in Deutschland überhaupt sinnvoll kaufen?
