NOTE A -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of NutraMax Products, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of April 4, 1998, the condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-seven weeks ended April 4,
1998 and the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 1997, and the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-seven weeks ended
April 4, 1998 and the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 1997 have been prepared
by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at April 4, 1998,
and for all periods presented, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  These condensed financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's September 27, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The
results of operations for the period ended April 4, 1998 are not necessarily

NOTE B - ACQUISITION

On September 11, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities related to the first aid business of American White Cross, Inc. and
Weaver Manufacturing Corporation ("American White Cross" or "First Aid
business").  As of fiscal year end 1997, the Company had recorded an escrow
receivable of $1,125,000 that was purchased as part of the acquisition and an
escrow receivable of $1,751,000 related to purchase price adjustments.  The
purchase price was finalized in December 1997 and the $1,751,000 was released
from escrow and returned to the Company during the quarter ended January 3,
1998.  During the quarter ended April 4, 1998, $375,000 was released and
collected by the Company from the purchased escrow receivable associated with
the acquisition.  Subsequent to the period ended April 4, 1998, an additional
$550,000 was released from the purchased escrow receivable and collected by the
Company.  The Company is still in the process of obtaining appraisals on certain
assets acquired.  The excess of purchase price over estimated fair value of
assets acquired may be adjusted based on the results of such appraisals.

NOTE E - ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective September 28, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings per Share."  The
Company changed the method used to compute earnings per share and restated all
prior periods in accordance with SFAS No. 128.  SFAS No. 128 supersedes
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and is intended to simplify the
computation of earnings per share and to make the U.S. computations more
comparable with international computations by requiring the presentation of
basic and fully diluted earnings per share.  The company's only dilutive common 
stock equivalents are stock options and warrants.

NOTE F - INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax expense for the twenty-seven weeks ended April 4,
1998 has been computed using an estimated effective tax rate for the year ended
October 3, 1998.

NOTE G - DUTCH AUCTION SELF TENDER

On October 29, 1997  the Company announced that it would purchase from its
stockholders in a Dutch Auction self tender up to 450,000 shares of its common
stock at a purchase price not greater than $12.75 per share nor less than $11.00
per share. The purpose of the offer was to provide added market liquidity for
stock holders who wished to sell their shares as a result of the Company's 1997
fourth quarter performance.

The offer expired on November 28, 1997.  A total of 250,668 shares were
purchased and retired by the Company at a price of $12.75 per share.  The offer
was financed by sales of 250,668 shares by the Company to: (i) Cape Ann
Investors, L.L.C., the Company's largest stockholder; (ii) Bernard J. Korman,
the Company's Chairman of the Board;  (iii) Donald E. Lepone, the Company's

NOTE H - LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal proceedings which
have arisen in the normal course of business.  Although the amount of litigation
that could result from any litigation cannot be predicted, in the opinion of
management, the Company's potential liability on all known claims would not have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify those
areas that could be affected by Year 2000 failures.  The Company believes that
its integrated manufacturing, accounting, distribution and order entry system
has built-in Year 2000 compliance.  The impact of the Year 2000 on the Company's
customers and vendors is not yet known.

On July 8, 1997, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue ("DOR")
notified the Company of its intent to assess the Company approximately $374,000,
including interest and penalties, relating to tax audits for fiscal years ending
1992 through 1994.  Tax years 1995 and 1996 remain open.  The amount relates
principally to the deductibility of certain expenses related to the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, NutraMax Holdings, Inc., a Delaware company.  The
Company attended a pre-assessment conference with the DOR on March 18, 1998, at
which the Company continued to vigorously defend its tax position.  The Company
has not received any further notice from the DOR regarding its intent to assess.
Due to the uncertainties surrounding any assessments, no accrual has been 
recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE I - COMMITMENTS

Leases - The Company leases certain of its administrative, manufacturing,
distribution and warehouse facilities under operating leases. The Company also
leases certain equipment under operating and capital leases. During the period
ended April 4, 1998, the Company entered into new lease agreements for a
distribution facility and certain equipment which increased the Company's annual
future minimum payments under noncancelable operating and capital leases by
approximately $480,000.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

     The following discussion addresses the financial condition of the Company
as of April 4, 1998 and its results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-
seven weeks then ended, compared with the thirteen and twenty-six week periods
last year.  On September 11, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities related to the first aid division of American White
Cross, Inc. and Weaver Manufacturing Corp. ("the First Aid business").  The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of the
First Aid business are included in the Company's Consolidated Operations for the
thirteen and twenty-seven weeks ended April 4, 1998.  This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the Management's

Discussion and Analysis section included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K, as amended, for the year ended September 27, 1997 to which the reader is
directed for additional information.

     Some of the information presented in this report constitutes forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Although the Company believes that its expectations are
based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its
business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not
differ materially from its expectations.  Factors which could cause actual
results to differ from expectations include the timing and amount of new product
introductions by the Company, the timing of orders received from customers, the
gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the mix of products sold,
competition from brand name and other private label manufacturers, seasonal
changes in the demand for the Company's products, increases in the cost of raw
materials and changes in the retail market for health and beauty aids in
general.  For additional information concerning these and other important
factors which may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
expectations and underlying assumptions, please refer to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended September 27, 1997 and other
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECOND QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1997

     Net sales for second quarter ended April 4, 1998 were $33,956,000, an
increase of $8,778,000, or 35%, over second quarter 1997 net sales of
$25,178,000. Of the increase in net sales, approximately $9,442,000 was
attributable to sales of First Aid products with increases in the
Opthalmics category of approximately $785,000 as well as increases in the
Cough/Cold category of approximately $608,000 offset by decreases in the
Feminine hygiene category of approximately $761,000 and the combined $1,189,000
decrease in the Adult Liquid Nutrition and Clotrimazole based yeast infection
medication sales. The reduction in Adult Liquid Nutritionals and Clotrimazole
based yeast infection medications is the result of a decision by the Company to
concentrate on products it directly manufacturers. The Company expects to
complete the phase out of Adult Liquid Nutritionals and Clotrimazole by the end
of this fiscal year.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
     Gross profit for second quarter 1998 was $8,147,000 or 24% of net sales, as
compared to $6,537,000 or 26% of net sales for the prior year's quarter. The
decrease in gross margin percent is primarily attributable to continued
inefficiencies related to Cough/Cold products production. These inefficiencies 
occcurred primarily during the fourth fiscal quarter of 1997 and related to the 
delay in the completion of the continuous cooking line which delayed production 
causing under absorbed labor and overhead which was capitalized into inventory.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for second quarter 1998 were
$5,115,000, or 15% of net sales, as compared to $3,521,000 or 14% of net sales
for the prior year's quarter.  The $1,594,000 increase is primarily attributable
to expenses associated with operating the newly acquired First Aid Business as
well as increased broker commissions and freight expense related to increased
sales volume.  The increase, as a percentage of net sales, is primarily
attributable to increased amortization of goodwill and deferred financing costs
associated with the purchase of the First Aid business.

     Interest expense for the second quarter 1998 was $2,082,000 as compared to
$1,382,000 in the prior year's quarter.  This increase is a result of the
increased debt associated with the acquisition of the First Aid business of
American White Cross.

     Interest income for the quarter decreased due to the decreased balance of
the restricted cash associated with the IDB financing.

     The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 35% which is 5% lower
than the prior year quarter. The decrease relates to benefits expected to be
realized as a result of the Company's implementation of certain state tax
planning strategies.

TWENTY-SEVEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 4, 1998 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED 
MARCH 29, 1997

     Net Sales for 1998 were $68,419,000, an increase of $21,206,000, or 45%
over 1997 sales of $47,213,000. Of the increase in net sales approximately
$18,025,000 was attributable to sales of First Aid products with added increases
in the Opthalmics category of approximately $1,584,000 as well as increases in
the Cough/Cold category of approximately $3,091,000 offset by a combined
$1,807,000 decrease in the Adult Liquid Nutrition and Clotrimazole based yeast
infection medication sales.  The reduction in Adult Liquid Nutritionals and
Clotrimazole based yeast infection medications is the result of a decision by
the Company to concentrate on products it directly manufactures.  The Company
expects to complete the phase out of Adult Liquid Nutritionals and Clotrimazole
by the end of this fiscal year.

     Gross profit for the twenty-seven week period in 1998 was $16,736,000 or
25% of net sales, compared to $12,588,000 or 27% of net sales for the twenty-six
week period last year.  The increase in gross margin dollars is attributable to
increased sales.  The decrease in the gross margin percentage is primarily
attributable to continued inefficiencies related to Cough/Cold products
production, as discussed above.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the twenty-seven week
period in 1998 was $10,021,000 or 15% of net sales, compared to $6,595,000 or
14% of net sales for the twenty-six week period last year.  The $3,426,000
increase is primarily attributable to expenses 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
associated with operating the newly acquired First Aid Business as well as
increased broker commissions and freight expense related to increased sales
volume. The increase, as a percentage of net sales, is primarily attributable to
increased amortization of goodwill and deferred financing costs associated with
the purchase of the First Aid business.

     Interest expense for the twenty-seven week period in 1998 was $4,424,000 or
7% of net sales, compared to $1,802,000 or 4% of net sales for the twenty-six
week period last year. This increase is a result of the increased debt
associated with the acquisition of the First Aid business.

     Interest income for the period decreased due to the decreased balance of
the restricted cash associated with the IDB financing.

     The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 38% which is 2% lower
than the comparable prior year period. The decrease relates to benefits expected
to be realized as a result of the Company's implementation of certain state tax
planning strategies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of  April 4, 1998 the Company had working capital of $41,306,000 as
compared to working capital of $38,602,000 as of September 27, 1997.  The
increase in working capital was primarily attributable to increased inventories
and a decrease in accounts payable.  The Company has been building cough/cold
inventory in order to meet customer order requirements.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $1,663,000 for the twenty-seven
weeks ended April 4, 1998, as compared to $2,932,000 provided by operating
activities in the  twenty-six week period ended March 29, 1997.  This decrease
was primarily attributable to a reduction in accounts payable, increased
inventories and interest payments.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $4,918,000 for the twenty-seven
weeks ended April 4, 1998, consisting primarily of funds used for expenditures
of capital equipment offset by escrow proceeds received relating to the
acquisition of the First Aid business. The Company anticipates additional
capital expenditures of approximately $3,000,000 for the remainder of fiscal
1998. The expenditures relate primarily to additional manufacturing capacity
requirements and the purchase of its manufacturing facility in Gloucester, MA.
These expenditures are expected to be financed through cash generated from
operations and a mortgage note with respect to the building purchase.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,350,000 for the twenty-
seven weeks ended April 4, 1998, consisting of borrowings of $7,545,000
primarily resulting from the funding of increases in inventories offset by debt
repayments of $1,471,000.  During the period ended April 4, 1998, the Company
entered into new lease agreements for a distribution facility and certain
equipment which increased the Company's annual future minimum payments under
noncancelable operating and capital leases by approximately $480,000.

     The Company's Revolving Credit Facility of $25,000,000 had an outstanding
balance of $24,429,000 on April 4, 1998. The interest rate was 8.7% based on
LIBOR plus 2.5% and the prime rate. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on
January 1, 2002. The Company has requested and was granted waivers of the total
debt to EBITDA and operating cash flow covenants for the period ended April 4,
1998.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
     The Company believes that its existing working capital, anticipated funds
to be generated from operations, funds available under the Revolving Credit
Facility and added financing related to the building purchase will be sufficient
to meet the Company's operating and capital needs during fiscal 1998.  However,
depending upon future growth of the business, additional financing may be
required.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal proceedings
which have arisen in the normal course of business. Although the amount of
litigation that could result from any legal proceedings cannot be predicted, in
