[MBf USA, INC. LETTERHEAD]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MBf USA, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR 1995
Itasca, IL -- March 7, 1996 -- MBf USA, Inc. (The Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market:
MBFA) today announced financial results including record revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1995.
MBf USA reported that revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased
20% to a record $43,258,125 over 1994 revenues of $36,008,062, primarily
reflecting growth in glove sales by the Company's American Health Products
Corporation subsidiary. Additionally, the continued high level of investment
in marketing and international launch efforts for the Company's Playboy(R) brand
condom business resulted in a substantial increase in condom sales in 1995.
The Company recorded a net of loss for 1995 of $4,864,404 compared to net
income of $1,000,530 last year. Of this loss, $4,295,608 occurred in the first
half of 1995, and included a $1,808,757 charge related to the Company's
management and business restructuring which was completed by June 30, 1995.
Under new management, losses declined in the second half, resulting in third
and fourth quarter losses of $417,320 and $151,476, respectively. The losses in
the second half of 1995 were primarily due to expenses related to the expansion
of the Company's international condom business and the lag period for the new
glove price increases, instituted at the end of the third quarter, to take
effect.
Loi Heng Sewn, Chairman of MBf USA, Inc. stated, "The financial and business
restructuring that took place in the first half of 1995 has returned the
Company to its core business and its impact is shown in its improved
performance in the second half."

Edward J. Marteka, who became President of MBf USA, Inc. on May 31, 1995, said,
"We were able to slash our losses significantly in the two quarters following
the restructuring. Our latex glove business which presently accounts for most
of our sales remain strong, while at the same time the rapid shift to higher
margin powder free gloves sales continues to improve gross margins. The new
glove manufacturing plant in Indonesia, which was slated to begin operation in
the first quarter 1996 but has been delayed to the second quarter, should
further lower production costs and improve margins."
MBf USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries market Glovetex(R) brand and OEM medical
examination gloves in the United States and the world-famous Playboy(R) brand
condoms internationally.
