- ---------------------
As a result of the inability of Nutramax Products, Inc. (the "Company") to
timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July
3, 1999, the Nasdaq Stock Market has delisted the Company's common stock from
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company is continuing to work with its auditors
to complete the Form 10-Q and anticipates that upon the filing of such report,
the Company's common stock will trade in the over-the-counter markets through
the "pink sheets" or on the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board. At this time, the
Company is unable to predict when it will file the Form 10-Q. In the meantime,
there will be no published markets for trading in the Company's common stock.
