Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Prescott Capital") or Phil Frohlich, the manager of Prescott Capital, is or was, for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (the "Issuer") purchased by (i) Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. (the "Master Fund") for the accounts of Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P. or Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P. (together, the "Small Cap Funds") and (ii) a partnership of which Prescott Capital servces as the general partner (the "Account"). Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, both Prescott Capital and Phil Frohlich disclaim such beneficial ownership.
(2) Prescott Capital holds indirectly the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer through (i) the account of the Master Fund, for which Prescott Capital is the investment manager and (ii) the Account, of which Prescott Capital is the general partner. Prescott Capital receives a portion of the profits in the form of a capital allocation from, and owns a partnership interest in, the Small Cap Funds. Prescott Capital owns a partnership interest in the Account. Phil Frohlich reports the Common Stock held indirectly by Prescott Capital because, as the manager of Prescott Capital at the time of purchase, he controlled the disposition and voting of the securities.
