*****NEWS*NEWS*NEWS***** CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GIFS) has announced that the unusual trading volume and 76.47% price rise Monday is likely the result of a mention in the daily newsletter HotStocks@StreetLevel quoting "The Waaco Kid" as believing that Genesis had received a positive letter from the NASD relative to its 12(g) filing and application for listing on the National Marketing System. The Company confirmed that while there has been no pre-approval, a letter from NASD has been received which it interprets as indicating the Company's sole barrier to approval to the National Market System (NMS) is a $5 minimum per share price, at which time the Company will be eligible to finalize its application. The 12(g) submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 1996, reports shareholder equity of $138,519,744 as of March 31, 1996 with 19,750,121 shares outstanding, of which approximately 18,500,000 is restricted. The Company said the newsletter had apparently stated "The Wacco Kid" had issued a small caps versus large caps website stock value challenge associated with a new TV series, Traders, on Lifetime and that Genesis had been listed at the top of the on-line forum's "Ten Most Wanted List" due to what the forum termed a " remarkable undervaluation relative to book value" that makes Genesis perhaps the most undervalued public company.
