GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
BACKGROUND
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Created in 1988 as a Nevada Corporation trading under the name BIG BOSS
MINES, then, SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT UNDERWRITERS GROUP, INC. (SMUG), the Company
was later renamed after the acquisition of PAP Finance, Inc. to ACADEMY
INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. and structured for the purpose of
acquiring a series of insurance agencies and companies. On July 15, 1995,
Academy Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., trading as AIFS (NASDAQ B.B. -
OTC), acquired CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, INC. CONGRESS, operating as a
Non-Insurance Surety company, and associated with a group of financial services
companies incorporated since 1987. The CONGRESS group maintains assets valued
at over 130 million dollars, with a value of approximately 90 million dollars
after contingent liabilities. On December 4, 1995, the Company's name was
changed to GUARDIAN INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. and, in settlement of
a trademark dispute, to GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
CONGRESS started its operations with over 12 million dollars in sales of
Non-Insurance Surety bonding and collateral packages, and has grown to over 35
million dollars in sales in 1995. The average gross profit has historically
been between 1% and 5% of gross sales, with the average cost of sales at forty
percent. CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc., anticipates its bond and
collateral package sales alone to increase by over 60% annually by 1998.
Additionally, with regard to GENESIS' operations, our goal is to increase
consolidated sales to as much as 180 million dollars (subject to the success of
the Company's anticipated public offering), where anticipated profits could
reach 70 million dollars, projected from the combined operations of both
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., and CONGRESS Re-Insurance
Corporation. This projected revenue and sales base is the result of combining
the agency acquisition plans of GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
with the plan for increased bonding and acquisitions of diversified investments
by the Company together with its subsidiary operations, all operating under the
umbrella of GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. (The foregoing
expansion, growth and revenue projections are subject to the successful
placement of an anticipated 25 million dollar stock offering).
During November of 1995, when CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, INC.
acquired its parent, ACADEMY INSURANCE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., and Mohamed
Khairy Mohamed Zayed, II, replaced Mr. Stan Cohen as its Chief Executive
Officer. Academy was thereafter renamed GUARDIAN INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES,
INC. and a comprehensive plan of acquisitions were formulated to combine its
original "insurance agency acquisition plan" with the existing CONGRESS plan for
the strategic acquisition of income-producing properties and investments in the
Hospitality, Agriculture, Petroleum, Banking, Transportation, and Medical
Technology Industries. This plan of diversity in the Company's holdings
creates, we believe, protected value for its shareholders and increases the
value of its Non-Insurance Surety products, which are backed by the value of its
diverse asset base.
6
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., through the combined assets
of its wholly-owned subsidiary, CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc.,
together with its existing and future subsidiaries program, believes it is in a
position of financial strength which will allow it both to move into the rated,
regulated insurance industry, as well as to take advantage of the global
opportunities in growth through acquisitions and through the expansion of its
diverse subsidiary and asset base.
BACKGROUND
For many years people have established financial service companies and
insurance companies with excellent operational plans and exciting growth plans
for the future. Unfortunately, because of a lack of attention to diversification
of assets and operations, many failed or became "Turn-Around Targets" which were
acquired by stronger companies in their industry in order to save the newcomers
from imminent demise.
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., being well aware of the
pitfalls associated with changing economic and political conditions, has
designed a comprehensive plan of diversification which has led to the current
success of its wholly-owned subsidiary, CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation, and
which management believes will also guarantee GENESIS Insurance Financial
Services, Inc., a position of financial strength well into the future.
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., through its subsidiary
CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation will continue marketing its unique brand of
Non-Insurance, corporate indemnification products at competitive rates, while
the GENESIS subsidiary will market a wide range of regulated insurance products
through its agency acquisition program. All operations will offer a high
degree of customer service and risk management. Additionally, profit centers
in GENESIS' plan of growth through acquisitions, together with revenues from
its various existing holdings, we believe will maintain the Company's growth
and will help to ensure its reputation and standing in the global economy as an
established leader in service and product value.
THE PRODUCTS
Performance Guarantee Bonds, Labor and Material Bonds, Financial Guarantee
Bonds, 2% Trade Performance Bonds, and various other structured indemnification
products currently being provided by GENESIS' wholly owned subsidiary, CONGRESS
Re-Insurance Corporation, is the primary source of revenue at present, with its
secondary source being the revenue of its other subsidiaries together with
revenue generated by international financial consulting fees.
GENESIS' subsidiary, CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc., has primarily
focused on the minority-owned construction company market for its performance
bonding activities. The Company services a wide variety of clients for whom it
provides trade- related performance guarantees and financial guarantee products.
There is a considerable niche market in the area of bonding minority-owned
construction firms, and the Company enjoys considerable political support for
its activities in this area, as many regulated "Insurance Sureties" are very
2
7
demanding in their underwriting requirements, which has made it extremely
difficult for many smaller firms to obtain rated bonding.
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., through its subsidiary,
CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc., maintains a high degree of control and
accountability in the area of risk management through the implementation of
"builder disbursement accounts," a very broad "counter-indemnity" agreement and
"power of attorney" over its clients, together with other comprehensive
monitoring programs which ensure top-level risk management while allowing
clients to bid on and obtain quality projects for which they could not obtain
rated sureties elsewhere.
We believe that CONGRESS' unique concept of collateralization and
indemnification programs are on the "cutting edge" of today's global economy,
when the demand for various trade-related indemnification products has never
been higher, through combining CONGRESS Re-Insurance Corporation's Non-Insurance
Surety Bonding activities and acquisition plans with the insurance agency
acquisitions planned by GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
Accordingly, GENESIS will take full advantage of the opportunities available in
today's global economy, giving it an extremely effective marketing and delivery
system which will greatly enhance revenues in all profit centers.
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., and its subsidiaries also
plans to take advantage of the opportunities in the international banking
industry through the strategic acquisition of a small ($7 to $10 million in
assets) internationally chartered bank in 1997, which will increase the
multitude of financial services which the Company is able offer its clients
throughout the world.
GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. further plans to acquire
various companies in the Medical Technology industry to further diversify its
holdings, while maintaining the majority of its holdings in Treasuries and
other Securities Portfolios, cash, gold, real estate, gas wells and other
diversified assets.
GENESIS' immediate goals, as set out above, included a small (Rule 504)
stock offering to capitalize the beginning stages of its acquisition and
marketing program. This Offering was successfully completed and placed for
cash and services equal to $1,000,000 on August 8, 1996. Additionally, the
Company plans a Secondary Offering of common stock to raise approximately 25
million dollars during 1996 and second quarter of 1997 in order to facilitate
its acquisition and expansion program. The Company believes that by year-end,
the Company's stock will exceed at least its book value, and therefore
substantial dilution will not occur as less shares will be required to reach 25
million dollars.
GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.'s long term mission is to
build a strong, diversified and internationally prominent group of companies
supplying quality and value to the Regulated Insurance markets, the
Non-Insurance Surety markets, the medical industry, mechanical lift industry,
mining industry and the International Banking community. With the Company's
previous success and with the implementation of its quality, experienced
3

management team, we hope to see GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
grow into a multi-national Fortune 500 corporation in the coming years.
MANAGEMENT
The management and operation team consists of approximately twenty men
and women whose backgrounds consist of Insurance, Non-Insurance Surety,
Banking, Structured Finance, Management, Investment Management, International
Law, Trading and Economics, many of whom have been associated with Fortune 500
Companies in the past. Additionally, our outside Management advisors provide
tremendous support for management decisions and creativity. Comprehensive long
term marketing programs for each of our family of companies are in place and
described more fully in each company's business overview.

MARKETING
The market research accumulated by GENESIS Insurance & Financial Services
and its family of companies project a worldwide market for its products and
services to be well over $150 billion dollars by the end of 1998. Conservative
estimates suggest Genesis' market share, with the Company's intensified,
accelerated national marketing plan, product development, and customer service,
the Company hopes to capture an average market share, which could generate as
much as $180 million dollars in gross revenue annually by the end of 1998, in
the agency acquisition program alone, together with a comparable consolidated
profit center from the Company's other subsidiaries as well.
CONCLUSION
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and its family of companies
enjoy an established track-record of excellence and support services for our
customers. Their expressions of satisfaction and encouragement are numerous,
and we plan to continue our advances in the global marketplace with our unique
and instrumental products and services and take advantage of the opportunities
available in today's Global Economy.
COMPANY PROFILES AND INDUSTRY DISCUSSION
INSURANCE INDUSTRY
There are basically two areas of retail sales in the insurance industry:
the standard products sold both direct and through independent agents by
national companies, such as Allstate, State Farm, Prudential, Chubb, Aetna,
etc., and the non-standard higher-risk products offered to those who cannot
qualify for the higher standard insurance products. We plan to market our
products to the non-standard market. The non-standard market is a
higher-premium, more profitable product which represents, in many cases, the
larger segment of the market. Further, the insurance industry has some unique
advantages in the states of Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and many other
selected states, not necessarily common to other industries.
First, auto insurance is a mandatory purchase based upon the laws of the
State as well as a requirement of banks and leasing companies. Also, commercial
insurance products are required by landlords, general contractors and many other
industries due to legal and moral responsibility that many insureds experience,
thus causing them to purchase coverage. It is probably the only service that
seems to be recession-proof. There is no choice of purchase, they must buy due
to the above noted legal requirements.
The retail agencies have not been hurt by the recent natural disasters
that have caused many of the insurance companies to either go out of business
or greatly reduce their sales. The reasons for this are mostly those noted
above, that is, the purchase of these insurance products is based upon
requirements established by persons other than the insured (state, county,
landlords,
5
10
contractors, etc.). Consequently, we believe that our agency acquisition
program focused on the area of the industry previously discussed will help
guarantee the success of our group of companies well into the future.
Further, it is our intention to explore other avenues for future profit
opportunities due to the large amount of annual premium which we will control.
This includes:
AGENCY ACQUISITION PROPOSAL
"GENESIS" plans to raise $25 million in funding, part of which will be
used to acquire the above-mentioned 50+ automobile insurance sales agency
locations and facilitate the acquisition, renovation and expansion plans of its
other operations. The funds will be acquired through a public offering, which
we anticipate to be complete during the fourth quarter of this year.
THE FOLLOWING IS A PROJECTION OF THE PROFITS FOR THE FIRST FIVE
YEARS OF OPERATIONS.
It is based on the anticipated projected earnings of 50+ agency locations
with adjustments for centralized operations and the addition of products not
sold by the present operations, plus normal expansion thereafter. We shall
utilize the cash we generate each fiscal year to allow for the expansion and
operation of additional units. Further, we project that there will already
exist by that time a solid state-wide management organization to simplify such
expansion.

PROFIT (PRE-TAX)
In summary, the foregoing is a general description of the insurance
industry sector involved and followed by an overview of projected performance
and operation forecast, of (Developmental Stage) Priscott, Whitley & Rose, Inc.
and other owned companies (excluding IMP, Inc. and Miller Mountain Gold Mine,
which follow).
COMPANY OWNED FINANCE COMPANY- Based on anticipated annual premiums of
over $50,000,000, we hope to structure and operate our own profitable financial
services company to finance those premiums in the future (during our fourth or
fifth years).

PRISCOTT, WHITTLEY & ROSE
(AGENCY ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY)
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
Priscott, Whittley & Rose, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis
Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. was formed for the specific purpose of
developing and implementing a nationwide agency acquisition program with a
strong focus on the non-standard auto lines agencies. For Priscott, Whittley &
Rose, Inc., the Company has employed Mr. Michael Edison, President of The
Edison Companies, New York, New York and Mr. Darrell Morgan, Sr. Vice President
of Morgan Insurance Group, Atlanta, Georgia, both of whom have decades of
experience in agency acquisition consolidation and management. Mr. Morgan will
operate as the Company's President while Mr. Edison shall serve in the capacity
of Chief Operating Officer. The Company will institute its agency acquisition
program upon the successful placement of the Company's anticipated secondary
offering in which it is expected that the Company will earmark approximately $7
to $12 million in cash which will be used to support the operations of the
acquisition program, initially.
As demonstrated in the proforma operating statements included with this
general background and representation, this particular model is based upon a
50+ agency acquisition program in the short term which may include one or more
large agency groups rather than a large number of smaller independent single
agencies. The company's revenues expectations and growth depends upon the
success of capitalizing the acquisition program through the anticipated public
offering or a private placement as the case may be. Additionally, the
fundamental principles upon which the proforma operating statements were based
are primarily derived from similar programs which were successful in the actual
implementation, one of which was founded by Mr. Edison in the mid-80's by the
name of Wicombe & Keates. The Company also intends to focus upon this
particular acquisition program as its most prominent source of revenue and cash
flow and therefore yields the most detailed proforma operation forecast and
detailed cash flow projections.
Additionally, the Company believes that through the agency acquisition
program developed by Priscott, Whittley & Rose, Inc. officers, Morgan and
Edison, together with the management of Genesis Insurance & Financial Services,
Inc., low cost, high quality, competitive product lines can be delivered to the
national consumer base associated with this particular non-standard auto lines
product based on contenders for the competition which already exists in this
area and the Company also expects that the development of a centralized
processing center and information systems and development facility will also
help the Company maintain higher profits and lower overhead ratios by virtue of
the volume of business and the affect which centralized control management
features provide.
Again, our primary goal is the consolidation of 50+ non-standard auto line
agency locations across the State of Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee
(under one ownership and management) which we believe could place GENESIS
Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.,
7
12
("GENESIS") among the larger independent insurance providers in those states by
the latter part of 1998. Subsequent goals of acquiring 100 or more agencies in
the succeeding years, if achieved, will provide the Company with even more of a
command of the non-standard insurance products. At that level of volume
"GENESIS" would be able to reduce operating costs while providing better service
and increasing revenue. We would enjoy additional volume bonuses from various
insurance companies whom we may represent that are not available to agencies
with lesser volume.
CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, INC.
A NON-INSURANCE CORPORATE SURETY
THE NON-INSURANCE SURETY INDUSTRY- GENESIS, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, INC., offers a vast array of
Non-Insurance Surety products, performance, payment, bid, labor, and
materials, bonds, financial guarantee bonds, trade performance bonds, and other
specially-structured indemnification instruments, all of which emanate from the
statutory authority (both state and federal) which allow for the application
and issuance of non-insurance corporate and individual surety obligations
within the United States, and pursuant to international law as it pertains to
the same. While it is unique by virtue of the fact that CONGRESS, is one of
the few corporations which have capitalized on the statutory authority afforded
under the law, which provide for the unregulated application and right to offer
corporately/individually-guaranteed surety and co-surety (re-insurance)
products throughout the country, without the cost burden of regulatory
oversight which regulated insurance carriers are required to endure.
CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, INC., and its unique brand of
Non-Insurance Surety products, was born out of the increasing demand for surety
in the minority-owned and disadvantaged business community, where regulated (and
rated) bonding is virtually impossible for small firms, and large firms alike,
to obtain, without posting a near one-for-one cash collateral guarantee to the
insurer. This being a nationwide attitude amongst the regulated insurance
community, CONGRESS devised a mechanism of sophisticated accountability and
control provisions which yields an intense risk management, oversight unit for
each client, and every project under bond issue by CONGRESS in connection with
contracts and performance obligations emanating from the construction industry,
as well as those obligations which reside in the minority-owned or disadvantaged
trading companies.
Some of the features which make our Non-Insurance Surety products as
valuable, if not more valuable than regulated bonding issued by major insurers,
is the fact that we utilize a ratio of 1:1 in our issuance of indemnification
contracts (bonds) versus a 4:1 or more ratio which is used by the regulated
insurance industry. Consequently, guarantees issued by CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE
CORPORATION, INC., are backed by collateral in a 1:1 ratio held by CONGRESS, in
addition to the assets of the client, which are assigned by virtue of a power
of attorney and a very strict indemnity agreement which is operative through
each and every transaction-specific project under bond, which we believe yields
a collateralized guarantee which
8
13
has a value far in excess of many regulated insurance concerns by virtue of the
fact that there is a great disparity in the manner which contingent liabilities
are placed in relation to actual assets on hand. For instance, a regulated
insurance concern may write a bond, or issue an indemnification instrument for
one million dollars, against assets which, in fact, do not yet exist, because
they have written obligation four times actual assets retained by the company.
This is perfectly legitimate, and a well-accepted method of operation which is
based on the theory and calculation of "loss ratios" which are analyzed and set
by management. Consequently, the Department of Commerce and Insurance for
various states which regulate insurance activities will allow an insurance
company to write up obligations far in excess of its actual asset holdings if
their "loss ratios" are low enough to merit such activities based on this method
of calculating contingent liabilities. While this has worked well for some
hundreds of years, it has also backfired many times in the face of natural
disasters or other unforeseen events where an insurance company, utilizing this
method of operations, is faced with multiple calls on bonds outstanding, which
far exceed its available asset base, and the state is required to liquidate its
position, pay those obligations and settle for a value much lower than the
loss(es) involved.
Consequently, many insurance companies have been forced out of business
and many recipients of their guarantees have either been forced to "settle" for
much less than their actual losses, without any recourse whatsoever. Also, the
theory of "layering" regulated re-insurance, who take positions in contingent
liabilities of an insurer, and in turn participate in the premium revenue
obtained through the issuance of such obligations, and because the re-insurance
companies utilize a similar calculation of contingent liabilities in multiples
over and above their available assets, a virtual "house of cards" exists in the
face of a serious disaster or major default under a series of obligations or
even one major obligation in default. Also, another disparity between the
regulated insurance market and the Non-Insurance Surety business (calculating a
one-for-one asset-to-obligation ratio) is that, based on the foregoing
principles, the obligations of CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION and the manner
in which it operates, are, in actual fact, backed by several hundred percent
more actual available assets than that of an opposing company using a loss ratio
principle, issuing bonds in multiples over and above its actual asset holdings.
Further, it is interesting to note another distinct difference between the
regulated insurance bonding industry, utilizing these particular principles, and
that is the fact that "insurance contracts" are considered "unilateral" in
nature, whereas non-insurance corporate and individual sureties and guarantees
are considered "bilateral" in nature, by virtue of the fact that an insurance
contract guarantees the loss value under a bond only, and does not expose itself
to the obligation of actually completing a project under construction, or any
other performance under a third party contractual obligation. In other words,
CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, in the operation of its bonding, obligates
itself pursuant to caveats in its indemnification agreement, which both allow
and require it to have the right to complete the performance requirements of the
client as set out in the underlying contract performance under bond, as well as
the obligation to pay the loss value emanating therefrom. Consequently, CONGRESS
becomes co-guarantor and participant with the client and has the right to
replace work crews, finish or replace unacceptable work product, effectuate
other performance obligations required under various contracts under bond, in a
timely manner, together with the right and obligation to satisfy any loss value
which may occur pursuant to a default under any particular bond.
9
14
Accordingly, CONGRESS has been able to successfully cure default in many
cases without having to pay losses in cash, but rather, completing "work
product" by subcontracting or taking over general contracts, with the support
of independent consultants and other entities which CONGRESS may engage to
cure a default under a particular performance-related contractual agreement
under bond, rather than simply writing a "blank check" to the loss payee.
This method of operation has been well-received by the client base of CONGRESS
RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, together with their principals and obligees.
CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, INC., is also in the process of supporting
the formation of a national association which will yield oversight to the
currently unregulated Non-Insurance Surety market, and is also a supporter of
legislation which shall protect the Non-Insurance Surety markets from unfair
competition and unfair attempts to regulate the market, which has occurred from
time to time in various states, which consider Non-Insurance Surety obligations
to be in direct competition with regulated insurance. CONGRESS believes that
in the next year, a national association will be formed complemented by
legislation and support of protective covenants and other features to be
included with the statutory authority which already exists, both on the federal
and state levels, and which will further complement the operations of
non-insurance sureties throughout the United States.
In conclusion, CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION, together with its parent
company, GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, expect to enjoy a considerable
increase in the application of Non-Insurance Surety products throughout the
United States and abroad as a result of its asset acquisition program, which
shall allow considerable growth in the number of obligations issued by CONGRESS
RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION. Further, with the implementation of its national
marketing campaign, currently underway, CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION
expects a considerable increase in revenues generated through the application
of Non-Insurance Surety products which guarantee obligations that are suited
for corporate surety guarantees, as opposed to regulated and rated insurance
products. Lastly, a proforma representation of the increase in revenue
associated with the Non-Insurance Surety operations of CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE
CORPORATION may be found in the Consolidated Operation Statements and Balance
Sheets which are a part of this comprehensive business plan. This information
and the results of the increased marketing efforts of CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE
CORPORATION, will be reported quarterly to its shareholder base and integrated
into the public filings of its parent company, GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL
SERVICES, INC.
OTHER LONG RANGE PLANS
COMPANY OWNED INSURANCE COMPANY- We may also have the opportunity to
selectively insure a portion or all of our own policies if expected revenue
levels are achieved. At that point, we will be able to select the least-risk
products and Insureds, as well as the maximum profits available. Further,
there are many good carriers that we would be able to acquire in the future if
it proves to be more advantageous than operating a company owned Direct
Insurance Division.
10
15
EXPANSION INTO OTHER STATES- Based on our experiences and research in
Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee, we should enjoy greater productivity
offering an opportunity to expand these programs into other states which share
comparable laws and retail systems.
INCREASED SALES OF NON-INSURANCE SURETIES-Through CONGRESS Re-Insurance
Corporation we shall increase Non-Insurance Surety sales considerably due to
the increase in asset value and revenue of the parent company [GENESIS],
together with its increased national marketing efforts and diversification
plan.
INTERNATIONAL BANK AND TRADE FINANCE CO.-GENESIS plans to acquire (during
the next year) an internationally chartered banking institution to take
advantage of the opportunities in global trade finance and investment
management. It is anticipated that approximately 7 to 12 million dollars would
be required to facilitate such an acquisition.
ACQUISITION OF A TREASURY LISTED CARRIER- The acquisition of and/or
establishment of a small Treasury listed carrier would greatly enhance our
profit margins and increase revenues. Consequently, the Company plans to
acquire or establish such an operation during the next two years.
NATURAL GAS/ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM- GENESIS, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, LONGHORN ENERGY CORPORATION, INC., plans to develop its recently
acquired natural gas wells which consist of five (5) capped wells located in
northwest Tennessee (Morgan County) by engaging them on-line within the second
quarter of this year. Well revenue will be used to acquire and develop up to
10,000 acres of additional properties in the area whereby the energy units may
be marketed and sold off during the next 3-5 years. Funds from liquidation
would be utilized to capitalize Genesis' related operations.

GUARANTEE SETTLEMENT CORPORATION, INC.
GUARANTEE SETTLEMENT CORPORATION, INC., a Delaware Corporation and wholly
owned subsidiary of Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. was originally
established to become a division of CONGRESS RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION as a
small independent surety Company and is currently in the developmental stage
whereby its primary investment is a 620 acre real estate property deeded to the
Company which exists an operating agriculture business (cattle ranch); whereby
the operating income and revenue is not expected to exceed 15% of the revenue
base of Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, its parent Company, and
consequently, only the proforma operating statements and projections are
included with a general summary of its assets which include approximately 270
head of Longhorn Cattle, a poultry breeding operation, which consists of
approximately 40,000 chickens under a contract with a local poultry processing
Company by the name of BENNETT POULTRY CORPORATION, INC., two small houses and
trailer all of which house employees (5 including contract employees), general
farming equipment (tractors, haybailers, feeding equipment, feed stock,
medication, and other operating equipment). Guarantee Settlement Corporation
through its parent Company, Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.,
acquired the property as an investment but plans to develop and sell the
property in the future or by the original purchase price of 1.2 million dollars
in a stock and cash transaction whereby 406,626 shares of 144 restricted stock
in Genesis Insurance & Financial Services in exchange for all titles and deeds
to the property and its equipment and operations including all contracts and
revenue screen. The operation currently makes approximately $320,000 a year
and is currently operating at a "break even" level. The unaudited financial
projections are as follows:
LONGHORN ENERGY CORPORATION, INC.
LONGHORN ENERGY CORPORATION, INC. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Genesis Insurance & Financial Services whereby all of the natural gas
properties, mineral rights, leases and other liberty interests, was conveyed
and deeded to the Company as part of the transaction with "Serenity Acres"
property to Guarantee Settlement Corporation as described above. However,
these assets were deeded separately and it is the intention of the Company to
exploit the natural gas resources which exists in five (5) drilled and capped
natural gas wells on the properties deeded to Longhorn Energy Corporation, Inc.
Based on geology and "well-head blow off tests", the consolidated value of
the natural gas wells are approximately 5 million dollars over an estimated 10
year life for an expected annual revenue of $500,000 per annum after the wells
are tied into a collection and delivery system. It is expected that
approximately $150,000 - $200,000 will be required to accomplish this goal and
make the natural gas well investment a revenue producing investment. As
currently the operation of the Longhorn Energy Corporation produce no revenue
and exist in the developmental stage, with future goals which include tying in
the natural gas well to a collection of delivery systems enabling the sale of
natural gas at current market rate. Based upon the fact that the expected
revenue from operations will be less than 15% of the revenue of Genesis
Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. management has included only proforma
financial projections based upon expected revenue upon development, as
previously described.

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN AND SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
I. COMPANY DESCRIPTION
International Medical Products, Inc. (the Company), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., is a company formed
to design, develop, assemble and market primarily, a pocket-sized endotracheal
and tracheostomy tube "cuff pressure monitoring device" ("Digital P-V Gauge").
This pocket-sized instrument allows the health care personnel as well as
patients at home to maintain proper cuff pressure. The company is a new
enterprise (2 years of actual sales) in the early stage of growth and
expansion.
II. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Company's product is called the "Digital P-V Gauge" which is a
pocket-sized instrument. When attached to the one-way valve of either the
endotracheal tube or the tracheostomy tube, it allows the user to inflate,
deflate and measure the cuff pressure. Hospital personnel such as respiratory
therapists, nurse anesthetists, or anesthesiologists, can use the instrument
during the tube incubation and during tube maintenance.
The instrument allows the user to maintain safe cuff pressure and to
minimize possible irreversible necrosis development in the mucosal wall of the
trachea due to uncontrolled high cuff pressure.
Significant product features are that it is pocket-sized, accurate,
requires no maintenance and it is easy to use. It is capable of long term use
because there are no moving parts such as dials, springs, or mechanical gears.
III. ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Now that the DIGITAL P-V GAUGE has been successfully developed and
currently enjoys some sales, both domestically as well as internationally,
additional funds are required to complete the development of the corporations
other various intellectual property and begin production of those various
items, which consist of a cholesterol inhibiting drug, impotence management
drug and other products, together with expanding our current initial stage
marketing activities which primarily consist of several independent contracts
or sale with various vendors and our primary international marketing contract
with Mallinkrodt Corporation which without management's supervision, has
produced initial annual income (together with other sources) of over $250,000
before taxes during the past two years. It is projected that $1,500,000 -
$2,000,000 USD will be needed to complete the objectives of our Second Stage
Marketing and Development Plans. The company plans to raise these funds
through participating in a
13
18
contemplated private placement issue of stock issued by its parent company,
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. During the third and fourth
quarter of 1996.
Shortly after the conclusion of this offering, assuming it is successful,
International Medical Products, Inc. will implement its expanded marketing
plan, which is generally summarized below:
IV. CHARACTERIZATION OF MARKET POTENTIAL
There are approximately 2.5 million operations performed in this country
per year. Most of these are performed in surgery rooms with the patient
incubated with an endotracheal tube. Most of these tubes are properly inflated
by the anesthesiologist; "however the procedure is done by feel, touch and/or
experience."
A majority of the patients do not need endotracheal tubes post surgically
and the tubes are removed immediately after surgery. Even if the cuff pressure
is excessive, generally in these cases, the patients would not develop any
post-surgical complications. However, in patients who have longer surgical
procedures and those who have endotracheal tubes in intensive care units or
those patients who have a tracheostomy tube in them at home, it becomes
important that the cuff pressure is in the safe range.
Hospital personnel who care for the endotracheal tubes are respiratory
therapists or nurse anesthetists. The tube incubation is generally done by an
anesthesiologist. The long-term care, the maintenance of the tube and the cuff
pressure check are done by respiratory therapist and/or nurse in the intensive
care unit of the hospitals.
V. COMPETITION
Posey & Company is distributing an aneroid pressure gauge imported from
Germany. The retail price is $245 per unit. Initially, the "cuffalator" as it
is called is quite accurate. However, after it has been in use for a while it
loses accuracy. This is apparently due to its mechanical operation such as
gears, springs, etc., which could go out of alignment. The device is bulky and
not practical enough to carry around in your pocket and therefore, users do not
have it with them when they need it.
The Portax Corporation markets a hand-held device, which is electrical in
nature and it allows the user to tell whether or not a cuff pressure is higher
or lower than the safe rage. The safe range is decided by the company
producing it, and it is SET at the factory.
This product does address the issue of providing an accurate reading of
the cuff pressure; however, it does NOT offer the freedom to the user to make a
decision regarding the pressure at which he/she would like to incubate the
patient. This is particularly true when the patient may have clinical reasons
to maintain the cuff at a higher pressure temporarily.
OUR DEVICE ADDRESSES ALL OF THESE ISSUES:
14
19
* ACCURACY,
* FLEXIBILITY,
* PORTABILITY.
WE BELIEVE THE DIGITAL P-V GAUGE TRULY FILLS THE MARKET NEED FOR THE
PRODUCT.
VI. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The marketing and distribution strategies are based on keeping the
expenses low in the early stages of the venture. Therefore, a major national
medical distributor has been selected {Mallinkrodt Corporation}, this provides
immediate, nationwide product introduction, credibility with customers,
inventory management and "one account" invoicing for the Company. It also
frees up management to perform other tasks involving research and development
of our other product projects.
VII. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MILESTONE
Research and development efforts have been under way for a few years and
have resulted in two U.S. patents. From which Product prototypes have been
prepared. Design changes and modifications have been made as a result of
consulting with eighteen institutions throughout the country. These new
products which consist of Impotence Management Formulations, Cholesterol
Inhibiting drugs and other products will add to the product base of
International Medical Products, Inc. in the future.
The P-V gauge product is FDA Approved as a Class II Medical Device
pursuant to acceptance of data representations made on companies filed 510(k)
applications, and is currently being marketed as an FDA Approved medical
device, and other products which are currently still in the R & D phase the
company applications (NDA - Medical Device, etc.) will be made as they are
successfully developed.

IMAGEX SERVICES, INC.
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Imagex , Services, Inc. ("Imagex" or the "Company") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada on July 23, 1986 as Balloonies, Inc. ("BI"). BI
acquired its present operating subsidiary, Unicare Services Inc., in a reverse
acquisition on June 28, 1993 and BI changed its name to Imagex Services, Inc.
upon such acquisition. Unicare was formed to begin the present medical
diagnostic service business of the Company and had no material pre-acquisition
activities. Imagex' wholly owned subsidiaries, Unicare Services, Inc. and Rome
Magnetic Associates, Inc. which conduct business as Unicare and Rome, are
herein referred to as "Unicare and Rome"; Imagex, Unicare and Rome are herein
referred to individually or collectively as the "Company". Unicare and Rome
were incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on April 16, 1993 and
August 3, 1993, respectively. On August 9, 1996, Genesis Insurance & Financial
Services, Inc. (GIFS), a Nevada corporation, purchased over 51% control of
Imagex Services, Inc. Whereby Imagex Services, Inc. became a subsidiary of
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
OPERATIONS
The Company provides medical diagnostic services to patients through
contracting physicians, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider
organizations, trade unions, physician groups, clinics, as well as other forms
of group health plan providers (individually or collectively "Group Plans").
The Company enters into agreements with local Group Plans for the development
and operation of individual medical diagnostic centers ("Centers") in specific
geographical areas; currently the Company is negotiating with several Group
Plans for the development and operation of Centers in New York State and the
Carolinas.
The Centers are designed to provide diagnostic services at reduced cost for the
insured member patients. Prices are generally below the existing respective
regional market prices for similar diagnostic services offered by others.
The Company's operations had been severely limited due to the effect of a
judgment obtained by General Electric Company against the Company. The Company
and General Electric negotiated a settlement whereby the Company returned the
1.5 Vectra Tesla MRI unit for the Slocum Dixon site and received a $700,000
credit against the judgment and agreed to pay the balance of $700,000 over a
2-year period which sum the Company's president has personally guaranteed and
the Company provided to General Electric a mortgage on the Greenville Center.
The Judgment against the Company was vacated in April, 1996. The Company has
retained the Rome MRI unit and shall continue to meet its monthly obligations
under the lease for the 0.5 Tesla MRI unit located at Rome pursuant to the
settlement.
17
22
ADMINISTRATION OF GROUP PLAN CENTERS
In the event the Company terminates any Group Plan agreements for specific
defaults, the Company is expected to generally retain the right to contract
with other Group Plans to utilize the Centers. The Company is dependent upon
maintaining and developing affiliations with Group Plans for referrals. The
Company is dependent upon a continuing public need for the services offered by
the Medical Diagnostic Centers in the locations as situated, proposed or to be
proposed.
The Company does and will concentrate its efforts on development, operation and
administration of the Company Centers. Continued research on methods to
improve operations, services, and equipment packages are anticipated to be
accomplished through monitoring of existing operations.
(1) Services
The Company devotes its principal resources to developing, operating and
administering the use of its equipment in Centers which provide medical
diagnostic services for outpatients through practicing radiologists contracting
for the use of the Company's imaging equipment. The Company contracts with and
supports the medical practices of attending radiologist-physicians who operate
medical practices at the Centers. The Company provides equipment and
facilities and derives revenue from the use of its equipment and facilities.
The type and quantity of medical examinations performed by the
radiologist-physician results in the equipment and facilities usage fees
derived by the Company. The Company provides administrative support to the
physician-radiologists, as necessary, but the Company has no authority to
direct the conduct or operation of the physician-radiologists' practices.
There are currently two Centers in operation, with a number in the planning and
development stage. Centers are usually constructed or rehabilitated and
operated to provide a full complement of diagnostic services for a particular
institutional client or a particular physician group.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
The Company relies primarily upon its staff's efforts in promoting the Centers
to physicians located within the geographical service range of the Center and
upon its president and its marketing consultant to develop Centers to service
potential Group Plans. The Company also relies upon the efforts of the
contracting radiologist-physicians, and, in the case of the Rome Center, the
efforts of the Rome Hospital to build its patient base referrals to promote and
market the Company's local Center; the Company generally also relies upon
referrals from unaffiliated physicians located within the geographical service
range of the Center. The patients are referred by physician groups or Group
Plans with which the Company has a service contract; the referrals are made
directly to the radiologists with whom the Company has a contract for services
and use of the Center equipment- Other referrals are attributed to unaffiliated
physicians located within the geographical service range of the Center.
Currently, the Company has a long term agreement for the services of two
radiologists to read the MRI produced films for the Rome Center.
18
23
MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES
The following "diagnostic services" are proposed to be offered at most Centers:
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING ("MRI") is a technology utilizing a magnetic field,
which is generated by either superconductive or permanent magnets (0.35 Tesla
measurement level permanently induced) that produce energy in the radio
frequency range. The resultant waves are processed through a computer to
produce cross-sectional images of the internal human anatomy for clinical
review of soft tissue.
MAMMOGRAPHY is an anatomical view of breast anatomy to determine the physical
state of the breast and surrounding wall and/or glandular areas. These studies
are done using a new method, called "screened x-ray", which can reduce the
radiation levels by up to 50%. This examination is used in the detection of
breast cancer.
ULTRASOUND uses high level ultrasonic waves that are beamed into the body, and
the level of the wave form is measured on the return echo. The strength of the
echo is computerized into 256 levels of gray to effect a pictorial
representation of the area under review.
CAT SCANNING ("CT"), technically referred to as Computerized Axial Tomography
scanning, is a diagnostic imaging technology utilizing x-ray coupled to a
computer to produce cross-sectional images of the internal human anatomy.
X-RAY is based upon the ability of energy waves to penetrate human tissue and
to be detected by either photographic film or electronic devices for the
presentation of an image of the internal human anatomy for the purpose of
determining the functional or physiological state of the particular portion of
the anatomy being imaged. Two different kinds of energy waves are associated
with this method of imaging, x-ray and gamma.
COMPANY OPERATED CENTERS
Each Center provides diagnostic services for medical patients. Each patient's
referring physician receives a report as to the diagnostic services performed
and the results of the tests, and additionally, preventative maintenance steps
may be identified. Each Center is or is expected to be capable of internally
completing the diagnostic testing specified herein.
ROME, NEW YORK CENTER
The Company entered into a marketing and administrative agreement in May, 1993
with the Rome Hospital and Murphy Memorial Hospital (collectively "Rome
Hospital") for one Center in Rome, New York (the "Rome Center"). The Agreement
was for a term of five years; however, the Rome Hospital was able to terminate
the Agreement annually, provided the Rome Hospital retained the status of a
part of the municipality. The Agreement was, in effect, terminated during
1995.
The Company has contracted with a radiology group whereby the group provides
the radiological services and bills patients and pays the Company a fee for
each procedure.
19
24
The Rome Center provides diagnostic services utilizing magnetic resonance
imaging technology. The 0.5 Tesla MRI at the Center had been subject to a
judgment in favor of General Electric Company; the Company settled the General
Electric matter (see item 3), and continues its monthly obligations under the
lease for the 0.5 Tesla MRI unit located at Rome pursuant to the settlement.
GREENVILLE, NEW YORK CENTER
The Company opened a 9,600 square foot Center in Greenville, New York (the
"Greenville Center") in 1995. The Greenville Center limits its services to
providing x-ray, ultrasound and mammography diagnostic services. It is
anticipated that Greenville will offer MRI and CT in the fourth quarter of
1996. It provides the rural county populace with a comprehensive multi-modality
imaging center. Located at the same site will be an independent full-service
general medical practice and turnkey offices for satellite specialty practices
to provide direct patient referrals. The Company believes this market has the
potential to support a Center to service the population base. The equipment
manufacturers have agreed in principal to install the equipment on a
lease-financed basis. This Center was designed and constructed by the third
party developer/landlord pursuant to specifications provided by the Company.
DOMESTIC OPPORTUNITIES
The Company's most active growth currently rests in the northeast corridor and
New York State. The Company continues to seek acquisition opportunities and
several negotiations are underway to establish Centers in Upstate New York
communities in Queensbury, Plattsburgh, Glens Falls, and Gloversville, which
will serve a number of surrounding rural communities.
The Company has signed an agreement with Silk Road Health Care Corporation to
jointly develop a network of ten (10) diagnostic imaging centers throughout
North Carolina and South Carolina. Once funding is approved by Silk Road
Investment Co. Ltd., an investment company will be organized by Silk Road
Health Care to fund such projects. There is no set opening day for the start
of this project. Each Center planned with Silk Road will offer a full range of
diagnostic imaging procedures, including MRI through mobile units and sharing
of equipment, with an emphasis on women's health care.
INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
The Company is planning to develop three Centers in Bolivia; these Centers are
expected to pioneer one of the first MRI diagnostic services to the South
American country of Bolivia. Centers are currently being planned in Los Pas
(the country's capital), Santa Cruz and Cochabamba.
TELERADIOLOGY
Through a teleradiology venture the Company shall provide electronic linkup
through American Telemedicine International to all of its Centers, both in the
United States and abroad, having the diagnostic images read via teleradiology
directly at Massachusetts General Hospital under the auspices of the Company's
consulting radiologist-physician and Harvard Medical School professor, Dr.
Kenneth Davis.

EMPIRE IMAGING
Empire Imaging Technologies, Ltd., a medical equipment sales, service and
supply company, may be acquired pending formal documentation to memorialize the
working relationship and transfer of consideration to the Empire Imaging
shareholders to legally bind the acquisition. Empire Imaging will principally
devote its services and resources to supplying and servicing the Company's
Centers. The Centers will also continue to rely upon the equipment
manufacturer warranties and service contracts for maintenance and support.
Empire is anticipated to reduce costs of miscellaneous supplies and non-
warranted service needs of the Centers through the in-house centralized supply
and service system created through the acquisition. The acquisition will
not be consummated until the purchase monies have been raised and adequate
capital has been raised to fund its operations.
21
26
PER USE EXAMINATION FEE
The Company's technicians provide diagnostic imaging scans of the referred
patients in accordance with the protocols and specifications required by the
attending radiologist-physicians. The protocols and specifications for the
scan relate to the angle of the scan, the degree that the hydrogen protons are
magnetized and the data collection time period. The Company's technician
processes the image and delivers the film to the radiologist-physician for
review and diagnosis. The radiologist physician is charged an equipment user
fee on the basis of a fee for each diagnostic examination (a "per use fee");
the per use fee includes an additional charge to recover the reimbursement of
the estimated PRO RATA overhead costs including financing costs, service,
warranty service, parts, tubes, cryogen and property damage insurance coverage
paid to the manufacturer through the monthly fixed lease payment.
INSTALLATION
The original equipment manufacturer installs the equipment to the required
installation specifications such that the services may be accurately performed
with the equipment. The manufacturer leases the equipment to the Company on
the basis of a fixed monthly rental fee which covers the manufacturer's
overhead costs including financing costs, service, warranty service, parts,
tubes, cryogens and property damage insurance coverage- The Company, through
the manufacturer, is the sole supplier of this package to the Centers. The use
of the Equipment package is restricted to only those uses authorized by the
Company and the manufacturer.
SITE SELECTION
Selection of development sites is determined based upon, but not limited to the
following considerations: (a) estimated residential or commercial population
density, (b) proximity to and interconnection of primary or secondary
thoroughfares, (c) estimated number of trade union patients in the territory,
(d) the number of trade unions registered within the territory, and (e)
estimated sales forecasts based upon the above considerations. Selected
territories for Centers are generally designated in both urban and rural
population areas, which either contain too low of a volume of diagnostic
service facilities, or in markets with higher than average health care costs.
(2) Distribution Methods Inapplicable.
(3) New Products Status Inapplicable.
(4) Competition
The Company has encountered intense competition in the medical diagnostic
services business from numerous competitors, almost all of which are
substantially larger, have more substantial histories, backgrounds, experience
and records of successful operations, greater financial and other resources,
more employees and more extensive facilities than the Company now has or will
have in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, such competitors are in a better
position to finance operating diagnostic centers and/or offer incentives to
management to run and/or supervise the
23
27
operating diagnostic centers. The Company is not a significant factor in the
field in which it is engaged and is at a very serious disadvantage against more
established competitors.
Although the Company believes the diagnostic services are competitive in most
circumstances based on convenience, uniqueness of service, cost and efficiency,
many of the Company's diagnostic services are offered by competitors, who are
larger, longer established and possess substantially greater financial
resources and substantially larger administrative, technical and marketing
staffs than of the Company.
The Company encounters direct competition from private medical groups and
hospitals. A number of health care entities have indicated an intention to
enter or have entered the medical diagnostic services business. Further, the
United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") is currently investigating
ways to reduce health care costs throughout the United States. Implementation
of industry, insurance or government strategies or programs to reduce health
care costs may have an unduly harsh result on the Company's business.
(5) Raw Materials - Inapplicable.
(6) Dependence on Single or Few Major Customers
The Company is dependent upon maintaining and developing affiliations with
Group Plans for patient referrals. The Company is dependent upon a continuing
public need for and use of the services offered by the Centers in the selected
locations. The Company is dependent upon the substantial, continuing support
of the equipment manufacturers for the development and implementation of
operations at each new Center.
(7) Patent, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions
The Company believes that its registered U.S. service mark "Imagex is of
material importance to its business. The Company has consented to a Los
Angeles, California company to use the mark "Image" with respect to their
private labeling of mammolabels; the U.S. Trademark Office has unofficially
approved the consent. The Company does not anticipate any trade difficulties to
arise due to such consent, and does not anticipate consenting to any other
organization utilizing a similar derivation of its mark.
(8) Governmental Approval
The Equipment manufacturer files all required state and federal
reports relating to the manufacturer's installation activities.
The Company is responsible for obtaining all local site approvals
and site planning approvals for the Equipment installation in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's site planning
specifications, and for mobile Equipment the Company also obtains
site approval within the specifications of the trailer
manufacturer. The Company provides all architectural or seismic
preparations, calculations or submittals for local and state
approval as required.
(9) Effect of Governmental Regulations
23
28
The Company is subject to, and devotes substantial efforts to its
compliance with, a variety of federal and state laws governing
medical diagnostic service practices. State laws and regulations
vary from state to state and impose some restrictions. The
regulations may also require the licensing of the Centers and
personnel. The Company seeks in good faith to comply with
regulatory requirements. Given the scope of the Company's
business, however, and the nature of medical health care
regulation, compliance problems could be encountered from time to
time. A significant modification of health care laws could
significantly increase the cost of operation of the Medical
Diagnostic Centers.
SELF-REFERRAL REGULATIONS. As no physicians have, will have
or be permitted to have an ownership interest in the Company's
Centers, no future impact on Company operations is anticipated
because of state and federal physician self-referral laws and
other restrictions on physicians' interests in medical diagnostic
centers. The radiologists-physicians, under contract with the
Company to provide the medical diagnostic services through the
radiologists-physicians' use of the equipment at the Centers, own
their medical practices independent of the Company. Equipment use
fees charged by the Company arise due to the use of the equipment
separate from the medical fees charged by the independent
radiologist-physicians.
ANTI-KICKBACK LAW. The Company seeks to comply with federal
anti-kickback provisions prohibiting the inducement or referrals
of Medicare and Medicaid patients. However, given the scope of
these provisions and their lack of specificity, compliance
problems could be encountered. A compliance problem in this area
could have a negative impact on the Company's business.
(10) Research and Development - The Company presently does not devote any
significant resources to research and development beyond that
currently conducted for marketing and expansion purposes.
(11) Effect of Environmental Laws - Inapplicable.
(12) Employees - At December 31, 1995, the Company had 7 salaried
employees and no employees compensated on an hourly basis.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
LITIGATION WITH - GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - On March 17, 1995 General Electric
Company (General Electric) filed suit against the Company in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York in the County of Nassau; Index no. 95-007721. The
suit alleged the Company defaulted on its leases of MRI imaging machines and
demanded payment in full, approximately $1.5 million. A Stipulated Settlement
of $1.3 million was reached on April 28, 1995. The Company is currently in
monetary default under the terms of the Settlement, which obligation the
Company's president has personally guaranteed. on September 13, 1995 General
Electric obtained a money judgment in the amount of $3,699,341.10 and an order
allowing General Electric to repossess the leased 1.5 Vectra/Tesla MRI located
at the Slocum-Dixon Center and the leased 0.5 Tesla MRI located at the Rome
Center.
The Company's operations had been severely limited due to the effect of the
judgment obtained by General Electric against the Company. The Company and
General Electric negotiated a settlement whereby the Company returned the 1.5
Vectra Tesla MRI unit for the Slocum Dixon site and received a $700,000 credit
against the judgment and agreed to pay the balance of $700,000 over a 2- year
period which sum the Company's president has personally guaranteed and the
Company provided to General Electric a mortgage on the Greenville center. The
judgment against the Company was vacated in April, 1996. The Company has
retained the Rome MRI unit and shall continue to meet its monthly obligations
under the lease for the 0.5 Tesla MRI unit located at Rome pursuant to the
settlement.
Litigation with - Center Green, Inc. - On May 10, 1995, Center Green, Inc.
filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme court of the State of New
York in the county of Oneida. The complaint alleges that the Company breached
a building lease agreement and seeks specific performance under the lease, or
in the alternative, back rent and legal costs. The Company denies such claims
and believes it has no obligations thereunder.

in the payment of dividends on its preferred stock.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1995
The Company incurred a loss of $2,045,125 for the year ended December 31, 1995
on two medical diagnostic service centers which have been owned and operated
since 1993. The loss is primarily attributable to a substantial reduction in
the usage of the Company's equipment due to fewer patients seeking diagnostic
services at the Company's centers as well as delays in opening the
Company's newest center in Greenville, New York. The Company intends to
provide diagnostic services that are competitive due to the convenience, cost,
efficiency and uniqueness of service.
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $205,498 as compared to
$920,118 for the period ended December 31, 1994, a decrease over the prior year
of $714,620.
Direct operating costs were $1,239,340 or 603% of net revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to $1,119,764 or 122% of net revenues for
the period ended December 31, 1994, an increase of $ 119,576. This increase
was primarily due to additional payroll, physician staffing and the cost of
equipment leases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,003,141 or 488% of net
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to $320,043 or 35% of
net revenues for the period ended December 31, 1994, an increase of $ 683,098.
The increase is primarily due to a full year of operations and the opening of
the corporate offices in Albany, New York.
The Company's financial condition at December 31, 199S reflects a $210,236
decrease in its accounts receivable balance as compared to December 31, 1994.
This decrease is due to the lack of revenue generated at the Slocum-Dixon
center and a significant decline in the number of patients at the Rome Center.
27
32
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1994
The Company operated two medical diagnostic service centers that it opened in
1993, and incurred a loss of $523,188 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
The loss is primarily attributable to a substantial reduction in the usage of
the Company's equipment due to fewer patients seeking diagnostic services at
the Company's Centers.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
During the year ended December 31, 1995, cash decreased minimally. By
obtaining extended payment terms with vendors and increasing its accrued
expenses, cash used in operating activities totaled $1,087,544. This compares
to cash provided by operations of $126,031 during the year ended December 31,
1994; a difference of $1,213,575. Cash was also used for the acquisition and
construction of the Company's new facility in Greenville, New York which
amounted to a cash outflow of $498,182. Cash flows provided by financing
activities were $1,568,427, and were provided primarily from the sale of common
stock and the proceeds from a note payable.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
During the year ended December 31, 1994, cash increased minimally. By
obtaining extended payment terms with vendors and increasing its accrued
expenses, cash provided in operating activities totaled $126,031 an increase of
$314,106 over the period ended December 31, 1993. Cash was primarily used for
the acquisition and construction of the Company's new facility in Greenville,
New York which amounted to a cash outflow of $236,298. Cash flows provided by
financing activities were $110,415, and were provided primarily by loans from
stockholders/directors of $135,963.
RECENT EVENTS
In April, 1996, the Company finalized its settlement of the General Electric
litigation. The judgment against the Company was vacated in April, 1996. The
settlement agreement calls for the Company to pay General Electric $700,000
over a two year period which sum the Company's president has personally
guaranteed and placed a first mortgage to the benefit of General Electric on
the Greenville facility. The Company has returned the GE 1.5 Vectra/Tesla MRI
to General Electric and closed its Slocum Dixon Center.
In 1995 the Company sold 400,000 shares of stock pursuant to warrants at a
price of $3.00/share to an independent consulting firm. The Company received
other capital through private placement and loans.
Common stock subscriptions receivable for 1,500,000 shares were outstanding as
of December 31, 1995 valued at average market price when issued aggregating
@1,125,000. Such amounts exclude 2,050,000 shares that were outstanding as
subscriptions receivable as of December 31, 1995, which were returned to the
Company subsequent to that date.
28
33
The Company has developed a plan to maximize revenues at the two existing
Centers by contracting with a marketing consultant to increase patient
referrals and by contracting with a world renowned physician, Dr. Kenneth
Davis, to perform radiology services. In addition, the plan contemplates
reduced operating costs through the consolidation of duplicative administrative
functions and the streamlining of Company operations. The plan also anticipates
having the new Greenville Center "on-line" and in full operation in 1996 and
that additional centers will be developed as future opportunities arise. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in implementing such
plan.
The Company's plans to overcome its current financial difficulties are largely
based upon its ability to raise capital through the private placement of equity
with potential investors. The Company anticipates obtaining working capital to
enable the Company to develop a network of revenue producing Centers. The
network of revenue producing Centers may take longer that one year to establish.
No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising such
capital, or in developing a network or any Centers, or that any of its Centers
will be profitable.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Attached following Item 13.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On June 28, 1993, the Company dismissed its principal accountant, Schiemann &
Machen of Reno, Nevada. On November 30, 1993 Schiemann & Machen sold its
assets and practice; by March 31, 1994 it had completed all work then in
process thus Completely discontinuing its audit and accounting services by
March 31, 1994. The ability to recover in litigation against the former
accountants may be limited as the firm had sold its assets and practice on
November 30, 1993. Thus, the Company and/or the investors may be unable to
recover against the Company's former accountants as they may not have any
assets. The former accountant's reports on the Company's financial statements
the year prior thereto did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion, however, such report was qualified due to a going concern uncertainty,
but not as to audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the Company's board of directors. During the
Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 1993, and during the period from
January 1, 1993 through and including June 28, 1993, there were no
disagreements between the Company and the former accountant on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure. During the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 1992,
and during the period from January 1, 1993 through and including June 28, 1993,
the former accountants did not advise the Company that: (a) internal controls
necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial statements did not
exist; (b) information had come to the former accountant's attention that led it
to no longer be able to rely on management's representation or that made it
unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management;
(c) the former accountant needed to expand significantly the scope of its audit,
or that information had come to the former accountant's attention that, if
further investigated might have (i) materially impacted the fairness or
reliability of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial
statements, or the financial statements issued or to
30
34
be issued covering the fiscal period subsequent to the date of the most recent
financial statements covered by an audit report or (ii) caused it to be
unwilling to rely on management's representations or be associated with the
Company's financial statements, and due to the dismissal of the former
accountant, or for any other reason, the accountant did not so expand the scope
of its audit or conduct such further investigation; or (d) information had come
to the former accountants attention that the former accountant has concluded
materially impact the fairness or reliability of either (I) a previously issued
audit report or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial
statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period subsequent to the
date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report, and due
to the dismissal of the former accountant, or for any other reason, the issue
was not resolved to the former accountant's satisfaction prior to its dismissal.
During 1993 the Company hired DiSanto Bertoline & Company, P.C., 628 Hebron
Avenue, Glastonbury, Connecticut 06033 to be its principal accountant. Prior
to hiring DiSanto Bertoline & Company, P.C., the Company had not consulted the
newly engaged accountant regarding: (a) either the application of accounting
principles to a modified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of
audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and
no written report or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded
was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to
the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that
was either the subject of a disagreement with the former accountant or a
reportable event. There have been no disagreements between the Company and its
current accountants on any matter of accounting or financial disclosure.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS--During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
the Company engaged in a number of transactions with certain officers,
directors, beneficial holders of more than five percent (5%) of its
outstanding voting securities and entities with which they were
affiliated. The following are the various affiliations and
transactions. one former director of the Company is currently engaged

' 's transactions with these individuals and entities in the last two
(2) fiscal years just ended are described below.
WITH NANCY B. INSERRA
Advances from the Company to the spouse of Mrs. Inserra were made in the
amount of thirty-six thousand dollars ($36,000) during fiscal year 1993.
Such demand advances bear interest at the rate of 8% and are payable on
demand. No interest payments have been made as the obligation is a demand
obligation; and no demand for payment has yet been made. The Company has no
immediate plans to demand repayment.
During 1994, the spouse of Mrs. Inserra was engaged as a management and
start-up operations consultant to the Company for four months at a rate of
$6,000 per month. Through December 31, 1994 an aggregate of $24,000 in
consulting fees were paid. Management believes that the services were
offered at a rate comparable to that which could have been secured through
an independent third party. The Company does not anticipate incurring any
further consulting obligations to such consultant in 1994 or in the
foreseeable future.
Mrs. Inserra resigned from her positions as Vice President and Secretary and
a Director of the Company on September 15, 1995.
33
38
With Jeffrey F. DeSantis and Medical Equipment Development, Inc.
Mr. DeSantis, a director and principal shareholder of the Company, is also
the sole shareholder and the President of Medical Equipment Development,
Inc. ("MED"), and is presently engaged in other business activities relating
to the medical field; thus the opportunity for actual conflicts of interest
exists. The Company had substantial financial obligations to MED as it had
leased Equipment from MED, and had entered into contracts and issued
promissory notes to MED to reflect its agreement to repay MED.
The Company contracted with Medical Equipment Development, Inc. ("MED"), an
entity related through common ownership for the medical diagnostic equipment
installed at the Rome and the Slocum-Dixon Centers under the terms of two
separate operating leases. The initial terms of both leases are five years,
expiring in 1998, and renewable annually thereafter, which MED had retained
the option to purchase at the end of each lease. Other terms and conditions
of each lease provide for monthly lease payments, maintenance service and
warranty coverage. Due to MED's relationship with various original
diagnostic equipment manufacturers, MED contracted with the original
manufacturers for the use of the equipment.
As of April 1, 1994 MED terminated its marketing fee which the Company had
owed to MED with respect to the equipment leases for the Company's Rome and
Slocum-Dixon Centers; as of May 24, 1994 MED assigned all of its rights and
obligations under the two Equipment contracts with GE to the Company,
including the $160,000 note payable to GE ("GE Note") issued to finance the
leasehold improvements at the Rome Center. Thus, the Company is currently
primarily and solely responsible under the two equipment contracts to only
GE. MED has no rights, responsibilities and/or privileges with respect to
the two equipment contracts. Further, the Company is the substituted
obligor on the $160,000 note payable to GE (the "GE Note") for the
improvements at the Rome Center; the corresponding note payable by the
Company to MED has been canceled. As of April 1, 1994 MED agreed that it
would no longer act as an intermediary between the Company and the original
equipment manufacturers for the lease of any equipment or for any other
purpose. The Company will continue to account for its equipment lease as
operating lease as there has been no change in the terms or conditions of
the lease as a result of the assignment.
Mr. DeSantis advanced twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) to the Company
in fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 bearing interest at the rate of 8% and
is payable within thirty (30) days of demand.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF IMAGEX SERVICES, INC.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Imagex Services, Inc. and
subsidiaries (Company) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficiency and
cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
35
40
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Imagex Services,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated
financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,045,125 and $523,188
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, had a
stockholders' deficiency of $899,916 as of December 31, 1995 and it is our
understanding that losses are continuing subsequent to December 31, 1995.
Further, the Company is in arrears on certain trade payables and notes
outstanding as of December 31, 1995. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's
ability to successfully implement elements of its business plan including the
achievement of profitable future operations and obtaining adequate working
capital to be able to meet its financial obligations when due, as described more
fully in Note 16, and thereby permit the realization of assets and liquidation
of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, is uncertain. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

IMAGEX SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Imagex Services, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") devotes its resources to
developing, operating and administering the use of magnetic resonance imaging
("MRI") equipment in medical diagnostic centers which provide medical
diagnostic services to health maintenance organizations, preferred provider
organizations, trade unions, clinics and other health care providers. These
services are provided in order to minimize health care costs payable by the
Company's customers. The Company currently operates centers in Rome and
Greenville, New York.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION/CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Imagex Services,
Inc., formerly Balloonies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Unicare Services, Inc., ("Unicare") and Rome Magnetic Associates,
Inc. ("Rome"), each a New York corporation. Unicare was incorporated on April
16, 1993 and was acquired by the Company on June 28, 1993 through an exchange
of shares accounted for by recording at historical cost the assets and
liabilities of Unicare. Rome was acquired by the Company on April 6, 1994 for
nominal consideration (see Note 3). All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the related
assets, or, in the case of leasehold improvements and leased property under
capital lease, over the remaining term of the related lease or useful life of
the related asset, whichever is shorter. Expenditures which substantially
increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized. Maintenance,
repairs and minor renewals on property and equipment are charged to operations
as incurred. Maintenance expense related to magnetic resonance imaging
equipment leased under operating leases (see Note 8) is charged to operations
when incurred, to the extent not covered under warranty.
41
46
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE COSTS
Certain monthly maintenance fees paid by the Company in connection with its
lease contracts were deferred to the extent that such amounts related to the
manufacturer's initial one year warranty period. Upon expiration of the
warranty period, such deferred maintenance costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the remaining 48 month term of the lease contracts.
During 1995, one of the Company's MRI machines was repossessed by the lessor
(see Notes 10 and 14). The deferred maintenance costs associated with this
machine were expensed in full during 1995. Deferred maintenance costs total
$37,801 and $128,871 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are
included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and
assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Weighted average number of shares outstanding includes
common stock equivalents when they have a dilutive effect. There are no
material differences between primary and fully diluted income per common share.
NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CREDIT RISK/REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company
places its cash and temporary cash investments with high quality credit
institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of applicable federal
insurance limits.
Under the terms of agreements with its customers, the Company provides MRI
equipment and derives revenue based on a fee schedule which gives consideration
to the type and the quantity of examinations performed. The Company reviews a
customer's credit history before extending credit and establishes an allowance
for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Such allowances
have been within management's expectations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFA-S) No. 107, Fair Value Of
Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial
instruments for which the determination of fair value is practicable. SFAS No.
107 defines the fair value of a financial
42
47
instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their
fair values as outlined below:
Cash, accounts receivables, trade payables, due to stockholder/ director,
and capital leases - The carrying amounts approximate their fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Notes payable - The carrying amount approximates fair value because the
interest rate on the notes approximates the Company's estimated current
borrowing rate.
Management has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value
of amounts due from related party and due to stockholders/directors since these
related party advances have no scheduled repayment terms and the availability
of similar financing from unrelated lenders is uncertain.
The Company's financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION
ROME MAGNETIC ASSOCIATES, INC.
On April 6, 1994 the Company acquired for nominal consideration all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Rome Magnetic Associates, Inc., an inactive
entity. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method and
WAS consummated through the payment of $4,825 which did not exceed the fair
value of the assets acquired. The operating results of this acquisition are
included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from the date of
acquisition.

company common stock at $.50 per share ("Class A warrants") and warrants to
purchase an additional 400,000 shares of Company common stock at $3.00 per

NONMONETARY TRANSACTIONS
During 1994, the Company issued 49,466 shares of its $.001 par value common
stock in exchange for legal services at a price of $2.00 per share which
represented fair market value at the time the shares were issued based on
reported bid prices available. Certain of these legal fees totaling $50,000
were capitalized as deferred offering costs and were charged against the
gross proceeds of the offering related to the Class B Warrants during the
year ended December 31, 1995. Additional offering costs of $50,461 were
also charged against those proceeds during the year ended December 31, 1995.
In 1995, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock in exchange
for legal services at a price of $.75 per share which represented the fair

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
EQUIPMENT CONTRACTS
As of May 24, 1994 Medical Equipment Development, Inc. ("MED"), an entity
related through common ownership, assigned all of its rights and obligations
under two equipment contracts with General Electric ("GE") to the Company,
including the $160,000 note payable to GE issued to finance the leasehold
improvements at the Rome Center (see Note 5). As a result, the Company is
primarily and solely responsible under the two equipment contracts to only GE.
MED has no rights, responsibilities and/or privileges with respect to the two
equipment contracts. The Company accounts for its equipment leases as
operating leases as there was no change in the terms or conditions of the
leases as a result of the assignment. Further, the Company is the substituted
obligator on the $160,000 note payable to GE; the corresponding note payable by
the Company to MED has been canceled. During 1995 one of the GE MRI machines
was repossessed and the equipment contract was canceled (see Notes 10 and 14).
The initial lease term of each contract is five years, expiring September,
1998, and renewable on a yearly basis thereafter. Rent expense and maintenance
expense charged to operations under these lease agreements totaled $68,045 and
$591,348 and $16,621 and $121,000, respectively for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994. The following is a schedule by years of future minimum
lease payments, including maintenance charges, due under these agreements.

DUE FROM RELATED PARTY
Amounts due from related party represent demand advances, including accrued
interest at 8%, made to an individual related to one of the Company's
officers/stockholders/directors.
DUE TO STOCKHOLDERS/DIRECTORS
certain stockholders who are also directors of the Company have advanced
funds to the Company. Such advances bear interest at 8% and have no
scheduled repayment terms.
OFFICE FURNITURE AND DESIGN SERVICES
During 1995 the Company purchased office furniture and office design
services from a related party. Total cost for the office furniture and
design services amounted to $108,466.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS
OPERATING LEASES
The Company is leasing one of its centers under the terms of a three year
lease agreement which requires annual payments of $25,680 and expires July
31, 1996. Additionally, the Company is leasing its corporate offices under
the terms of a three year lease agreement which requires annual payments of
$43,425 and expires November 30, 1997. Rent expense under these leases for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled $69,105 and $29,299,
respectively.
The schedule of future minimum rental payments required under these
operating leases in succeeding years is as follows:
Year ending December 31:
1996 $58,405
1997 39,806
-------
$98,211
LEASE AGREEMENT
At one of its centers, the Company has contracted with a physician group to
provide imaging services at a fixed rate per exam under a one year contract
expiring October 19, 1996.
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
During 1995 the Company was committed to two contracts for the construction
of a new diagnostic center in Greenville, New York. The first contract
covered the construction of the main facility, and was completed during
1995. The second contract is for the construction of an addition to the
facility. Total contract cost under the second contract is $67,548, with an
outstanding balance of $30,396 at December 31, 1995. The Company has
recorded construction in progress of $30,396 in connection with this project
as of December 31, 1995.

53
NOTE 10- LITIGATION
General Electric Company filed suit on March 17, 1995 against the Company in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The suit alleged that the
Company defaulted on its leases of MRI imaging machines and demanded payment
in full of approximately $1.4 million. A Stipulation of Settlement of $1.4
million was reached on April 28, 1995. The Company is currently in monetary
default under the terms of the Settlement and the Company's president has
personally guaranteed the obligation. On September 13, 1995 General
Electric Company obtained a monetary judgment in the amount of approximately
$3.7 million and an order allowing it to repossess the two MRT machines the
Company was leasing. The suit was settled subsequent to year end (see Note
14).
The Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims which
have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. While the ultimate
outcome of these legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with
certainty, management intends to vigorously defend the claims. Management
does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect of
the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of
the Company.
NOTE 11- OPENING OF CENTER
The Company is in the process of constructing an imaging center in
Greenville, New York featuring state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment (see
Note 9). This center furthers the Company's philosophy of bringing
state-of-the-art, high quality, reduced cost medical care to rural
underserved areas. It is anticipated that construction will be completed in
July 1996.
NOTE 12- CLOSING OF CENTER
On June 26, 1995, the Company was notified that a physician group to whom
the Company was providing imaging equipment was terminating their contract
with the Company. As a result of this notice of termination, the Company
closed its center in Utica, New York.
NOTE 13- STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In October, 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS123). This
statement addresses alternative accounting treatments for stock-based
compensation, such as stock options and restricted stock. FAS 123 permits
either expensing the value of stock-based compensation over the period
earned or disclosing in the financial statement footnotes the pro forma
impact to net income as if the value of stock-based compensation awards had
been expensed. The value of awards would be measured at the grant date
based upon estimated fair value, using option pricing models. The
requirements of this statement will be effective for 1996 financial
statements, although earlier adoption is permissible if an entity elects to
expense the cost of stock-based compensation. The Company is currently
evaluating the disclosure requirements and expense recognition alternatives
addressed by this statement. However, the Company expects to adopt the
alternative which would provide for proforma disclosure in the footnotes to
the consolidated financial statements.

54
NOTE 14- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
On January 1, 1996 the Company entered into a lease agreement to rent a
building next to their Greenville, New York property.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
On January 1, 1996, the Company entered into a five year employment
agreement, with its President, which expires December 31, 2001. After the
initial term, the agreement is subject to an automatic annual renewal,
unless a sixty day notice is given by the president or the Company not to
renew the agreement. Under the agreement, the president is to receive a
base annual salary of $175,000 for 1996 and $350,000 for the remainder of
the term. The agreement also contains provisions for incentive compensation
payments and stock options.
Under the incentive compensation plan, the president is to receive a bonus
equal to five percent (S%) of the net increase in the Company's revenues
over the prior year's revenues, for each year of employment. Under the
stock option provisions, the President has been granted an option to
purchase 1,000,000 unregistered shares of common stock for $.25 per share.
The president may exercise this option at any time within ten (10) years
(January 1, 2006).
COMMITMENT
On February 14, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Silk Road
Health Care Corporation to form a new corporation in which Imagex will
invest $1,470,000 to develop and initially fund ten women's diagnostic
centers ($147,000 for each center) in North and South Carolina over the next
three years.
MECHANIC'S LIEN
On February 20, 1996 the Company's general contractor for the Greenville,
New York property filed and received a mechanic's lien against this
property. The lien was filed due to the Company's slow payment of invoices
to the General Contractor.
MANAGEMENT CONSULTING AGREEMENT
On March 11, 1996 the Company entered into a management consulting agreement
with Blue Water Consulting, Inc. (Consultant). Under the agreement the
Consultant was issued options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock of
the Company for consideration of cash plus services. Under the agreement
the option price per share shall be equal to the average closing bid price
of the Company's common stock for the last ten (10) trading days prior to
exercise less a discount of sixty percent (60%) representing the value of
services rendered. The options may be exercised in part or in whole and
expire twenty-four (24) months following the date of issuance.

MARKETING CONSULTING AGREEMENT
On March 11, 1996 the Company entered into a marketing consulting agreement
with Brad Street Marketing, Inc. (Consultant). Under the agreement the
Consultant was issued options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock of
the Company, for consideration of cash plus services. Under the agreement
the option price per share shall be equal to the average closing bid price
of the common stock for the last ten (10) trading days prior to exercise
less a discount of sixty percent (60%) representing the value of services
rendered. The options may be exercised in part or in whole, and expire
twenty-four (24) months following the date of issuance.
GENERAL ELECTRIC SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
On April 19, 1996 the Court vacated its September 13, 1995 order (see Note 10)
based on a March 29, 1996 "Settlement Agreement" between the Company and GE.
Under the agreement, the Company was given a $700,000 credit for the repossessed
equipment against the $1,400,000 judgment. The balance of $700,000 was
converted from an accounts payable into a promissory note payable to General
Electric, fixed rate of 10%, payable as follows: $10,000 per month through June,
1996; $110,000 in July, 1996; $15,000 per month August through December, 1996;
$115,000 in January, 1997; $20,000 per month February through June, 1997;
$120,000 in July, 1997; $25,000 per month August through November, 1997 and
$117,221 in December, 1997. The note is secured by equipment financed and a
first mortgage lien on the Greenville real property as well as a personal
guarantee by the Company's president.
NOTE 15- SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVABLE
Common stock subscriptions receivable for 1,500,000 shares were outstanding
AS of December 31, 1995, valued at average market price when issued
aggregating $1,125,000. Such amounts exclude 2,050,000 shares that were
outstanding as subscriptions receivable as of December 31, 1995, which were
returned to the Company subsequent to that date.
NOTE 16- GOING CONCERN
The Company incurred losses of $2,045,125 and $523,188 for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, has a stockholders' deficiency of
$899,916 as of December 31, 1995 and it is our understanding that losses are
continuing subsequent to year end. The deterioration in the Company's
earnings during 1995 is primarily attributable to a substantial reduction in
the usage of the Company's equipment due to fewer patients seeking
diagnostic services at one of the Company's existing centers and the closing
of another center, as well as delays in opening the Company's newest center
in Greenville, New York. In addition, the Company is in arrears on certain
trade payables and other obligations. As discussed in Note 10, the lessor
has filed suit demanding payment and the Company is in monetary default
under terms of the settlement, resulting in the lessor obtaining a monetary
judgment of approximately $3.7 million and an order allowing it to repossess
the equipment. As further discussed in Note 14, that suit was settled
subsequent to December 31, 1995, at which time the aforementioned judgment
was vacated. Such settlement included the refinancing of a portion of the
obligation with the same lessor and the lessor's repossession of one of the
Company's MRI imaging machines. Further, as discussed in Note 12, a
physician group to
51
56
whom the company was providing imaging services has terminated its contract
with the Company. The Company is also experiencing delays in the opening of
the final phase of its newest center in Greenville, New York. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.
In view of these matters, the Company has developed a business plan which
included the subsequent completed renegotiations with General Electric, as
well as working with potential investors to raise additional working
capital. The plan also considers maximizing revenues at existing Company
centers by contracting with a marketing consultant to increase patient
referrals. In addition, the plan contemplates reduced operating costs
through the consolidation of duplicative administrative functions and the
streamlining of Company operations. The plan also anticipates that the new
Greenville center is expected to be profitable during 1996 and that
additional centers will be developed as future opportunities arise. The
Company's ability to successfully implement the foregoing elements of its
business plan, which may be necessary to permit the realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, is
uncertain. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Company Disclaimer:
Currently (11/15/96), Imagex Services, Inc. is not a going concern, has no
revenue at current and is being treated as a "turn around" situation by Genesis
(the Company) which will include possible Chapter 11 protection allowing for a
"Reorganization Plan" to be filed, approved and administered by the Court and
the Parent Company. The Company intends to continue limited funds disbursement
to creditors of Imagex in the interim and intends to continue to support Imagex
financially until it again becomes a profitable going concern with potential
for continued growth.

AMERICAN LIFT
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For many years, the physically challenged individuals have had to rely on
unrealistic and unacceptable access to public.
An innovative group of professional businessmen and business women have formed
a new corporation to market, manufacture, and distribute elevators and lifts
within the Southeaster United States. The corporation is based in the
tri-cities are of East Tennessee and plans to open satellite sales offices in
Atlanta and Tampa within the next twelve to eighteen months. The manufacturing
facility is located in Johnson City, Tennessee.
American Lift, Inc. is designed to be a marketing and manufacturing company
with base representation in major metropolitan areas of the Southeast. The
corporate office is the "hub" with several spokes extended approximately two to
three hours driving time from this point. With three to four hubs within the
Southeast, it is expected that American Lift, Inc. will be able to effectively
exploit the market potential for the growing segment of the elevator market...
residential and light commercial applications. The target cities currently in
the expansion plan are Atlanta, Tampa and Richmond. It is expected that within
twelve to fifteen months, an estimated ten to twenty sales representatives for
American Lift, Inc. will be strategically placed within the above mentioned
markets, as well as, the peripheral markets within the hub's geographical
areas.
The sales personnel will be trained by American Lift, Inc. to service
individuals, churches and light commercial building owners within their
assigned territories, Each account representative will be enrolled in a
rigorous indoctrination program encompassing sales, territory management,
budgeting and product management.
BACKGROUND
Jesse Lovell, a business owner with more than 30 years experience in
management, sales and manufacturing is assuming a major role in American Lift,
Inc. because of his knowledge of sales, sales training and motivation. Mr.
Lovell holds the majority of the stock in American Lift, Inc. with other
shareholders holding the remainder.
Elite Elevator, the previous company, generated nearly $200,000 in sales
revenue during 1993-94; lost money. During the next year of the recovery plan,
1994-95, the new company is "on line" to sell a projected $.7 million... a
major increase in a very small market and is expected to be profitable.
53
58
CONCEPT
The strategy is to develop a professional sales team who work to maximize sales
by actively seeking to generate a core of potential and qualified leads within
the Southeast region's urban markets. American Lift, Inc. will provide
information, drawings and overall project management assistance to the
contractor, architect or developer. Training for these sales and account
representatives will be intense and each representative will have to pass
certain "milestones" in the program to continue.
Management's objectives are to propel American Lift, Inc. into a prominent
position within the Southeastern United States market. It is felt that
American Lift, Inc. Must:
Maximize sales with an extensive campaign UTILIZING a regional account
representative program which develops and cultivates "relationship" with
architects, developers and contractors.
Increase product offerings through an alliance with other future product
developments,
Provide that "extra" support and assistance to the customer base. In
other words, position American Lift, Inc. to be the "Midas" of the
residential and light commercial elevator industry. American Lift, Inc.
must become the "best" facilitator WITHIN a very small period of time.
FINANCE
It is expected that within three to five years, American Lift, Inc. will have
achieved consistent profitability with the capability to generate dividend
income for its shareholders provide for extended growth outside of the Southern
United States. Management expects to generate revenues of approximately $ 1.0
million within the first twelve months of the parent company's successful stock
offering to raise the required expansion capital and by the next year,
approximately $2.0 million with after-tax profits approaching 20%. In order to
do this, it is felt that approximately $250,000 is needed in funds to hire,
train, and develop the personnel needed to compete in the urban markets of the
Southeast, as well as, strengthen the manufacturing elements of the company.
The principals of American Lift, Inc. have provided portions of these
requirements in the past and Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. Will
provide the remainder. (Genesis acquired American Lift on June 6, 1996
whereby American Lift became a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis Insurance &
Financial Services, Inc.) The full program will provide a significant growth
potential for American Lift, Inc. if the plan is fully implemented as currently
planned.
Please see the Financial Pro-Forma for specific monthly budgets , projected
income and profitability.

MOTORSPORTS TRAVEL CENTERS, INC.
PROFILE
MotorSports Travel Centers, Inc. (MTC) is a new concept in providing services
for the traveling public and the trucking industry. Each plaza consists of
four different businesses within one complex. The plazas include a convenience
store with fuels service, motorsports souvenir and gift shop, fast food
restaurant and motel. Every location features an exclusive auto racing theme,
creating an atmosphere similar to attending an actual major league motorsports
event. The basic layout design of every plaza is identical with exception of
the theme emphasis which will vary, depending on the geographical location.
Each plaza requires a minimum of 3.5 acres of land and consists of two separate
structures. The convenience store, souvenir and gift shop and restaurant will
be consolidated in a 9,000 square feet building adjacent to the motel. Most of
the locations feature a 75 unit motel. However, some of the sites will exceed
75 room facilities due to acquisitions of property with existing motels. The
average cost of each MTC is estimated to be $3.2 million, including the land.
MARKET PENETRATION
Although the MTC is designed to target the vast population of racing
enthusiasts, they serve a dual purpose of providing convenient services for the
general public, as well. Food orders can be placed from a menu board while
refueling your vehicle. A twenty four hour fax service and an overnight parcel
delivery service is available for the business traveler. As for the leisure
traveler, the MTC offers a fun and relaxing place to spend a few hours or the
night. Visitors can view replicas of real race cars displayed at each plaza
and browse through the souvenir and gift shop. They can also enjoy a quiet
meal in the racing oriented restaurant and later, retire to a comfortable room
displaying the theme of their favorite race driver. The true race fan can even
rent racing videos from the library located in the motel lobby.
The plaza located at exit 68 and Interstate 75 which is the primary interchange
for Atlanta Motor Speedway is to feature a heavy emphasis on NASCAR Winston Cup
racing. A second Atlanta location at U.S. Highway 441 and Interstate 85 will
place a greater emphasis on the International Motor Sports Association and the
National Hot Rod Association. This site within close proximity of Road Atlanta
and Atlanta International Dragway where major national events are held for
each sanctioning body. The Indianapolis location will highlight the
Indianapolis 500 and the NASCAR Winston Cup, Brickyard 400.
GROWTH
The development plans over the next 5 years are structured into three separate
phases. The first phase is to include the construction of twenty-five plaza's
at strategic locations across the country. Every site will be near a racing
facility where major events are held. Of these locations, three are
wholly-owned by MTC. The remaining twenty-two sites will be developing through
joint venture between and MTC other investment groups.
MTC plans to start Phase II of the development program by early winter of this
year. This stage includes the selection of additional sites for the MTC and
the introduction of the miniversion of the travel plaza. These units will be
of the basic convenience store design featuring limited menu fast food service
for take-out only. Each store will also include a souvenir section
consolidated with the convenience store. These offer a more limited selection
than the larger plaza shops. The smaller stores will be known as MOTORSPORTS
FUEL AND FOOD CENTERS, that target high traffic commuter locations and highly
populated rural markets.
By late 1997, Phase III is scheduled to be implemented. During the third phase
MTC plans to introduce a public stock offering and a franchise program for the
MOTORSPORTS FUEL AND FOOD CENTERS. Projections through 1999 include a total of
200 MTC and 1,000 MOTORSPORTS FUEL AND FOOD CENTERS. These projections could
increase as the results of any future acquisitions and joint ventures with
existing companies.
Over the next five years MTC will take the traveling public into the
twenty-first century. Along the way, MTC will also cross international
borders, introducing American motorsports and ultimate convenience to our
friends abroad.
MTC is the new way of the future in travel convenience.

MILLER MOUNTAIN GOLD MINE
The Company, Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Congress Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc., holds seventy
seven (77) mining claims and a fully enforceable and valid gold mining lease
and royalty agreement on the claims property known as the Miller Mountain Mine
located in Boise, Idaho. The Company acquired the gold mining rights, claims
and leases under an irrevocable power of attorney collateral transfer and
assignment agreement and joint venture contract with Solomon of Nu, Inc. and
its present President, Mr. Theodore Collins of Lexington, Kentucky. The
Company intends to exploit these leases by reopening the Miller Mountain Mine
during this year or by early spring, 1997, depending upon weather conditions in
the area and the success of the Company's anticipated public stock offering or
private placement whereby if successful, the Company would apply approximately
$1.5 million for the refurbishment of the existing roadway into the mining site
as well as start-up capital in order to begin re-excavation of the site and
establishing contract refining agreements in order to enable the company to
fully exploit the previous metal reserves at the Miller Mountain Mine site.
The Company also expects to receive matching funds in the Joint Venture
Agreement with Solomon of Nu, Inc. and expects the initial start-up
capitalization to require approximately $3 million over an initial period of
approximately eight to ten months. The mine was originally operating up until
the late 1950's whereby it became more expensive to extract the gold from its
complex ore composites than the mine operators would receive in revenue from
selling the resulting gold. As during that period, gold brought less than $50
an ounce as it did even during the early 70's when gold was only $35 an ounce,
during one period. Consequently, the cost of operating a complex ore extraction
operation far exceeded the revenue generated from the resulting gold primarily
based upon the fact that process technology had not yet reached the levels of
sophistication which it has today or cost effectiveness. Consequently, many of
these mining operations were shut down and some simply abandoned. Now, over
the past 35 years with the increase in technology and the lower costs of
refining gold and specifically more "complex ore" composites, more and more
mining sites and abandoned claims are being acquired by large and small
corporations alike all across the United States and in some cases by foreign
corporations to take advantage of the best opportunities which may exist in
reopening some of these more productive sites which maintain proven gold
reserves and large probable reserves.
The Miller Mountain gold mining claims have had hundreds of thousands of
dollars of geology and engineering work done on them as recently as the mid
80's and then once again on a test basis, proven reserves will once again
ascertain by our firm when we send Mr. Collins of Solomon of Nu to collect
additional test samples from various areas at the site during the first of this
year. Consequently, the proven reserves based on certified geologist's reports
exceeds $50 million in totality and probable reserves exceed the $180 million
level based upon a 5-year operating span.
Additionally, the Company states that because this particular project is
in the developmental stage, only this general description of the investment and
its potential value is represented whereby a more comprehensive disclosure will
be made at the time the Company
59
64
decides to reopen the Miller Mountain Mine and write the project into any
anticipated public or private offering prospectus or other document within which
a comprehensive and detailed representation of operations together with
projected operations and cash flow will be provided for analysis and
consideration.
ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS
INSURANCE INDUSTRY RISK FACTORS
As with any highly regulated industry, the insurance industry in particular
harbors a considerable degree of risk due to the fact that changes in
regulations could directly affect the projections of Genesis Insurance &
Financial Services, Inc., could restrict or prohibit entirely the contemplated
business activities calculated by the various commissioners of insurance and the
state or states within the jurisdiction. As with any highly regulated industry,
specifically with the insurance industry in general, there are liabilities
associated with the day to day operations including the operation of a product
provider (carrier) or as an agency operation, representing products of other
issuers of regulated insurance products. Claims may be filed against policies
resulting in large settlements, litigation or damages or the cancellations of
premiums could directly affect the cash flow position, asset base and/or
projections of the firm adversely. Also, previous performance is not an
indication of future performance and therefore fundamentals used as a basis for
projections and analysis does not necessarily reflect any guarantee of future
performance as is the case of any industry, especially those volatile industries
which include the financial service industry as well as the insurance industry
as a whole.
NON-INSURANCE SURETY INDUSTRY RISKS
The risks associated with the Non-Insurance Surety Industry (and regulated
surety activities offered and conducted pursuant to the Federal Miller Act,
McAron-Ferguson Act, and various state laws which pertain to
corporately/individually issued indemnification, and surety and other commercial
guarantee agreements). In addition to those risks associated with the regulated
insurance industry, the "non-insurance surety industry" and the market target
segments therein have an additional degree or risks as it pertains to the fact
that some states maintain their position on allowing such activities to remain
unregulated within their state jurisdiction or may already prohibit such
activities within the state which do not conform to activities under federal
jurisdiction and in these states, the firm could be prohibited from conducting
its business and therefore an extremely adverse impact on cash flow projections
and growth could result.
Additionally, while the firm does not use multiples as do regulated
insurance companies (a practice of writing surety and accumulating contingent
liabilities in excess of actual assets available based on "loss rations"). If
the Company encounters difficulty, delays or fails to efficiently liquidate any
part or all of its investments, contingent liabilities could exceed the
available asset base of the Company and should off the book assets (assets held
under power of attorney through indemnity agreements with clients), the firm's
non-insurance bonding division
60
65
(Congress Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc.) could be deemed insolvent without
additional capitalization from the fundamentals which exist in the
non-insurance surety package. Additionally, the client base targeted by the
non-insurance surety industry historically has been highly volatile on a
subject of a higher default rate (all the minority-owned and disadvantaged
businesses) within the regulated insurance market's primary market segment
which has a lower default failure rate. Consequently, a higher degree of risk
exists within the non-insurance surety market and extra due diligence is
required in order to protect the firm from the result claims loss and potential
loss associated therewith.
THE MEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATED RISKS
The risks associated with the medical products industry are broad in scope
but are primarily associated with the possibility that projected sales or
revenue from sales may not meet annualized projected sales and revenues by
management due to various factors such as the possibility of product liability
litigation, changes in governmental (both federal and state) regulations which
pertain to the use, sale and implementation of various medical devices,
products, services, treatments and facilities which may negatively impact the
cash flow (projected or annual) of the Company and with regards to research and
development for products which do not already have patents, licensing and
approval, there is no assurance that patents will be granted, licensing will be
available to secure or other approvals necessary to bring products in the
research and development stage to market and accordingly with regard to
valuation of intellectual property rights as an asset of the Company which
value may be down-graded due to the negative impact of changes in the market
for such products and/or services or other economic changes or fluctuations.
With regard to medical health care provider services (psychiatric care
providers and other medical health care provider groups acquired or
contemplated for acquisition by the Company) current and/or future projections
for revenue, cash flow and growth could be adversely affected, changes in state
and/or federal government regulations which pertain to the payment procedure or
acceptance protocol with regards to payment procedure or changes in the
criterion set out by the insurance industry including but not limited to
corporate health care plans, Medicare and Medicaid, other state, federal and
private subsidy programs. Additionally, malpractice claims or claims for
negligence related to provider patient incidents could increase insurance costs
associated with service provider operations which could negatively impact both
current and future projections for cash flow revenue and growth of the firm's
divisions.
Also, with regard to diagnostic imaging services and diagnostic clinic
facility operations, the same risk factors apply as well as risk factors
associated with changing market conditions and demand for such services or
changes in technology rendering currently operative technology obsolete or
diminishing its demand creating a negative impact on anticipatory cash flow
revenue and/or gross projections both current and future of diagnostic imaging
or other diagnostic service clinic operations either acquired or contemplated
for acquisition as associated with the Company's overall business plan.
Additionally, should the Company fail to accumulate funds through a contemplated
secondary offering required to facilitate the acquisition and/or expansion plans
of
61
66
the medical products and service industry current projections for revenue, cash
flow and growth may be substantially reduced or obviated completely.
GOLD MINING INDUSTRY RISK FACTORS
The Company's ownership and operating rights in the various 77 mining
claims of the Miller Mountain Mine in Boise, Idaho and the contemplated future
plans for exploitation of the proven reserves and reopening of the mining
facility to operative goal protection and refining are accompanied by various
and diverse risks associated with but not limited to changes in weather and
geological formations due to natural events, actual proven reserve estimates by
geologists falling short of geological analysis and representations, the
failure of the Company to accumulate funds through the contemplated secondary
offering required to facilitate the reopening and expansion plans together with
changes in market price of gold and other previous metals or changes in
governmental regulations, both state and federal, which pertain to the
excavation, mining, refining, marketing and sales of precious metals, all of
which could negatively affect the projected revenue cash flow and gross
associated with the Miller Mountain Mine's contemplated project and may
substantially reduce such assumed value or obviated completely.
NATURAL GAS DEVELOPMENT RISK FACTORS
The Company (Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.) through a
wholly owned subsidiary, Longhorn Energy Corporation (a Delaware corporation)
purchased a parcel of land which include five (5) drilled and capped natural
gas wells which have been analyzed and tested for proven reserves which the
Company intends to develop and market commercially. There exists certain risks
associated with such contemplated development plans which could negatively
impact projected annual revenue and cash flow from contemplated "developed
well" operations and natural gas sales; geological changes in natural gas
formation which inhibit or prohibit entirely the flow of natural gas from
seem-deposit to well-head; lack of working capital or required developmental
capital due to a failed secondary public offering or private placement which is
the currently contemplated revenue source with the exception of the possibility
for exploitation through joint ventures with unassociated companies.
Additionally, future performance based upon a comparison of past geological
analysis does not insure or guarantee, future performance will necessarily
reflect the same or a similar number million cubic feet of natural gas produced
per year or projected over a period of years. Additionally, should the Company
fail to accumulate funds through a contemplated secondary offering required to
facilitate the acquisition and/or expansion plans of the natural gas industry,
current projections for revenue, cash flow and growth may be substantially
reduced or obviated completely.
INDUSTRIAL LIFT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS
The Company (Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.) through its
wholly owned subsidiary, American Lift Corporation, Inc., a Tennessee based
manufacturer of industrial lift devises and related hydraulic equipment
maintaining a centralized manufacturing sales and distribution facility at its
Tennessee headquarters. The operations of which maintain certain
62
67
inherent risks associated with the industrial lift manufacturing industry in
general and consequently, risks associated with the manufacturing process,
sales, marketing and distribution exists at various levels including but not
limited to equipment designs and technology becoming obsolete or cost
prohibitive, product liability suits arising from injury sustained as a result
of the use of various hydraulic lift devises and/or equipment operating in
commerce as well as those risks associated with future performance falling short
of past revenues affecting the anticipated gross revenue and expansion of the
Company's operations. Additionally, should the Company fail to accumulate funds
through the contemplated secondary offering required to facilitate the expansion
and operation plans of the Company, current projections of revenue and cash flow
and gross may be substantially reduced or obviated completely.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Based upon calculations of management as of July 31, 1996 the Company had
total liabilities including consolidated contingent liabilities of approximately
$35,000,000 which include those contingent liabilities associated with the
issuance of surety products from its wholly-owned subsidiary Congress
Re-Insurance Corporation as compared with contingent liabilities of
approximately $20,000,000 during the same period last year indicating
approximately a 70% increase in contingent liabilities based on increase sales
of non-insurance surety products issued by Congress Re-Insurance Corporation
together with the liability aspect associated with acquisitions of its
wholly-owned subsidiary division. Contingent liabilities will reduce
dramatically as consolidated revenues booked on the companies' balance sheets
emanating from previous and newly acquired operating subsidiaries offset the
companies' contingent liabilities. Also the companies primary capitol resources
are derived from its operating subsidiaries and additional liquidity exists in
the considerable asset base of the companies diverse holdings which could be
leveraged or borrowed against if necessary to raise capitol for operations
and/or expansions however, the companies focus is to increase share holder value
and growth through strategic acquisitions primarily financed through public and
private placement of securities in the initial range of 25 million dollars.
In the companies effort to facilitate its capital formation process, which
will be applied to the implementation of the various operating subsidiary plans
for growth and expansion, the company is applying for a NASDAQ/NMS listing and
plans to execute its public and/or private offering thereafter to enable the
company to meet its on-going funding requirements. The Company has received
letters of interest and intent which, in the opinion of management, show a
reasonable assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the capital
required to implement the growth, expansion and revenue plans set out in this
report.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis in relation to the Company should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10SB(12g) Report.
GENESIS INSURANCE & FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. is a multi-faceted Company
with a focus on strategic diversification of its consolidated asset base and
investment in various companies. Its family of operating subsidiaries have a
primary focus on financial services and asset backed surety products through
our wholly owned subsidiary Congress Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc. in the
non-insurance commercial guarantee industry while maintaining operations in
strategically diversified industries with a particular focus on the medical
industry, through its wholly owned subsidiary International Medical Products,
Inc., Lonestar Healthcare, Inc. and Imagex Services, Inc. with ancillary
operations in the gold mining industry through its holdings in the Miller
Mountain Mine, Natural Gas development, through wholly owned subsidiary
Longhorn Energy Corporation, Inc., agricultural operations, through investments
in Serenity Acres, (an operating cattle ranch deeded to wholly owned subsidiary
Guarantee Settlement Corporation, Inc.) and industrial manufacturing operations
through its wholly owned subsidiary American Lift Corporation, Inc., a
manufacturer of elevators and other industrial lift devices together with
various diversified investments which capitalize its asset backed financial
service products, as well as the Company's contemplated plans for a
considerable acquisition program whereby the Company will acquire and manage
insurance agencies groups with a focus on the non-standard insurance lines
through our wholly owned subsidiary, Priscott, Whitley & Rose. The Company
believes that the Agency Acquisition Program will generate a major portion of
the Company's consolidated revenue.
Management believes that through a controlled, strategic program of growth
through acquisitions, Genesis will maintain an organization which is better
equipped to fend off the volatile and diverse economic and political changes
which are prevalent in today's economy. Genesis Insurance & Financial
Services, Inc. plans to take advantage of the vast opportunities which exist in
the financial service industry as it relates to the new global economy.
While we intend to take a limited position in the financial service
industry, we plan to position ourselves to take advantage of the opportunities
which exist in areas such as "international trade related finance and
guarantees", "premium finance" and other forms of diversified and financial
services which will enable us to reinvest our revenues to achieve even greater
gains while enabling us to maintain a position of risk management and strength,
in the regulated insurance industry as well as the private sector surety
(non-insurance corporate surety) markets whereby we will continue to build an
organization founded upon strength and diversity while increasing shareholder
value, by supplying valuable low cost products and services to our diverse
customer base.
64
69
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and its family of companies
expect to derive its primary revenues from its existing non-insurance surety
operations (asset backed commercial guarantees), commission revenue generated
from the agency acquisition program once instituted, and revenue from the
operation of the various wholly owned subsidiaries through the sale of medical
products owned and distributed through International Medical Products, Inc.,
revenue from the operations of Healthcare provider services through diagnostic
clinic services provided by a wholly owned subsidiary, Lonestar Healthcare,
Inc., once developed and also, diagnostic imaging clinic revenue produced
through its Imagex Services, Inc. subsidiary.
The Company will also derive agricultural operations revenue through its
wholly owned subsidiary Guarantee Settlement Corporation and its Serenity Acres
Ranch, and the Company hopes to derive considerable revenue from the reopening
of the Miller Mountain Gold Mine and its anticipated gold mining revenue
together with the anticipated revenues from the development of the Company's
holdings in natural gas wells through the proven natural gas reserves owned by
its Longhorn Energy Corporation division. Revenues derived from its industrial
products manufacturing operations through its corporate subsidiary, American
Lift, Inc., as well as future contemplated revenue derived through the
development of international operations and projects associated with its
subsidiary companies. The companies fiscal year end is December 31.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995
The Company made a consolidated net profit of $326,474 for the 12-month
period ending December 31, 1995 as compared with a net profit of $100,641 for
the 12-month period ending December 30, 1994 which equates to an improvement of
approximately 324% on an annualized basis reflecting the steady growth of the
primary profit center and origin of revenue emanating from the operations of
Congress Re-Insurance Corporation's sale of surety products and services, both
nationally and internationally and while the asset base of the Company is
considerably large in relation to its revenue, this is attributed primarily to
the fact that the wholly owned operating subsidiary of Congress Re-Insurance
Corporation, Inc. Characteristically charges between 1% to 3% of its contingent
liabilities offered in the form of a commercial guarantee or surety agreement.
(Therefore, for instance, on sales of $35,000,000 in surety products, where the
Company charged for instance, 2% of the contingent liability or surety revenue
would only be $700,000 while net operating revenue at approximately 40% would
yield approximately $300,000 in net revenue.) Additionally, the Company
expects to realize consolidated revenue from all of its operating subsidiaries
which now include in its family of companies: International Medical Products,
Inc., Guarantee Settlement Corporation, Longhorn Energy Corporation, Imagex
Services, Inc., Lonestar Healthcare, Inc., American Lift Corporation, Inc. and
the other ancillary operations of Priscott, Whitley & Rose, Inc. whereby the
Company anticipates a net revenue increase of approximately 100% compared to
the first quarter of 1996 and the second quarter ending June 30, 1996.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Double "E" Land & Cattle Company, Route 2, Box 139, Crossville, Tennessee
38555 entered into a Lease Agreement with the Company's subsidiary, Guarantee
Settlement Corporation, Inc. with respect to the "Serenity Acres" Farm
operation wherein Mr. Gary Emery, President of Double "E" Land & Cattle
Company, leased the farming operation on an annual basis whereby such payments
in the amount of $320,000 which shall be due and payable annually, in arrears,
beginning at the origination date which was January 1, 1996 and continuing
unless canceled by unanimous consent of the Board of Directors of Genesis
Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. for a period of five (5) years. Also, a
Loan/Credit Facility was extended to Mr. Mohamed Khairy Mohamed Zayed in the
amount of $100,000 of which $85,000 has been drawn

down. The Loan Note is for a period of one (1) year with annual interest
of 10% payable annually in the form of a balloon payment. The Company also

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. is not subject to any legal
proceeding at this time nor are any of its subsidiaries subject to any legal
proceeding other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business
which management believes has no financial impact or anticipated financial
impact on the Company's subsidiaries or parent Company (Note: Congress
Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc. is the subject of a Cease and Desist Order not
to conduct regulated insurance business in the States of Delaware, Tennessee or
Florida. However, in the opinion of management, this does not impact its
unregulated non-insurance surety business, which is the primary revenue source
of Congress Re-Insurance Corporation, Inc. which is, in fact, not an insurance
Company. Management believes that the administrative Cease and Desist Orders
will be removed or amended to reflect that Congress Re-Insurance Corporation,
Inc. Does not have to abide by the covenants of such Orders due to the fact
that it is not an insurance Company). Management also believes that an inquiry
with regard to an investment of its Congress Re-Insurance subsidiary with
respect to a Japanese government issued bond, number 1444A, will be resolved
without any negative effect on the Company, its subsidiaries, its financial
condition (actual or projected). Additionally, no proceeding with regards to
any director, officer or affiliate of the Registrant or any owner of record or
beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of voting
securities of the Registrant or an associate of any such Director or Officer or
Affiliate of the Registrant or securities holder is a party adverse to the
Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the
Registrant or any of its subsidiaries and are not the subject to any litigation
which in the opinion of Management would have any impact on the operations or
financial conditions of the Registrant, Genesis Insurance & Financial Services,
Inc. (This opinion includes General Electric litigation with the newly
acquired Imagex Services, Inc.)

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Corporation may
indemnify directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the
Corporation to the full extent permitted by the Nevada state corporation law as
in effect at the time of the conduct by such persons.
The bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification of the officers and

indemnification are set out clearly in the articles and bylaws attached as an
exhibit to this registration.
8.07 Indemnification.
(a) The Corporation shall have the right to indemnify, to purchase
indemnity insurance for, and to pay and advance expenses to,
Directors, Officers and other persons who are eligible for, or
entitled to, such indemnification, payments or advances, in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of Nevada Revised
Statutes 78.751 and any amendments thereto, to the extent such
indemnification, payments or advances are either expressly required
by such provisions or are expressly authorized by the Board of
Directors within the scope of such provisions. The right of the
Corporation to indemnify such persons shall include, but not be
limited to, the authority of the Corporation to enter into written
agreements for indemnification with such persons.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.751 and

for an act or omission in the Director's capacity as a Director,
except that this provision does not eliminate or limit the
liability of a Director to the extent the Director is found liable
for: (1) a breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or its shareholders; (2) an act or omission not in
good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the Director to the
Corporation or an act or omission that involves intentional

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., together with all of its
subsidiary operations have had no changes in or disagreements with accountants
on the accounting and financial disclosure elements of the Company or its
subsidiaries and has maintained Mr. Herbert Woll, CPA, as an independent
auditor over the past four (4) years. Consequently, all of the representations
by the independent auditor who represents the professional qualified opinion of
the independent auditor based upon his investigation of the same as they may
relate to such representations and opinions.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Consolidated financial statements of Genesis Insurance & Financial
Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, together with all exhibits thereto and
proforma financial statements and projections and operating subsidiaries are
attached as Exhibits hereto and should be read carefully.
TRANSFER AGENT
The Transfer Agent for Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. is
Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, Inc., Attention: Mr. Rene' Garcia, President,
5701 North Pine Island Road, Suite 310A, Tamarac, Florida 33321.
OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKET (OTC)
The shares of common stock of the Company (Genesis Insurance & Financial
Services, Inc.) are traded in the over-the-counter market on the NASD Bulletin
Board under the symbol "GIFS". It is anticipated the Company will subsequently
apply for inclusion of the common stock on the NASDAQ system, but no assurances
can be given that such securities will be accepted for inclusion in the NASDAQ
system. If, for any reason, the common stock is not qualified, does not or
remain qualified for trading on the NASDAQ system, then in such case the
Company's common stock is expected to be traded on the over-the-counter markets
through the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board until the Company is able to meet such
prerequisite qualifications. However, in the opinion of Management, the
Company does, in fact, meet the minimum requirements for quotations and listing
within the NASDAQ system and more specifically, the NASDAQ/MNS (National
Marketing System).
However, the Company states that in the event the common stock is not
ultimately accepted for inclusion in the NASDAQ/NMS system, the Company's
securities would be covered by the Securities & Exchange Commission Rules that
impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors
(generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with
net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or
$300,000 jointly with their spouse) or for issuers that meet certain numerical
criteria as to revenues or assets. For transactions covered by these rules,
broker/dealer must make a special
80
85
suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction prior to sale as well as to provide certain
customers with expensive documentation and disclosures. Consequently, these
rules may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company's securities
and may also affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares in the
secondary market. The ability of the Company to secure a symbol on the
NASDAQ/NMS system does not imply that a considerable trading market in the
common stock will ever develop in excess of its current volume price and trading
market which it now maintains on the NASD Bulletin Board System.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S
COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's common stock is traded in the Over-the-Counter Market on the
NASD Bulletin Board under the symbol "GIFS". The following table sets forth
the high and low bid quotations for the common stock during the periods
indicated. These quotations reflect prices between dealers, do not include
retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions and may not necessarily represent
actual transactions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
Chattanooga, Tennessee
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Genesis Insurance
& Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as of September
30, 1996, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the period
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on my audit.
I have conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement preparation. I believe that my audits provide
a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Genesis Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
September 30, 1996 and the results of their consolidated operations for the
period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Guardian Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
Chattanooga, Tennessee
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Guardian Insurance
& Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as of March 31,
1996, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the period then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on my audit.
I have conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement preparation. I believe that my audits provide
a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Guardian Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March
31, 1996 and the results of their consolidated operations for the period then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Guardian Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
Chattanooga, Tennessee
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Guardian
Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as of
December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the
period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit.
I have conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement preparation. I believe that my audits provide
a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Guardian Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1994 and the results of their consolidated operations for the
period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (AMENDED)
DATE: January 23, 1996
RE: Summary and Analysis of Book Value.
Since the previous inclusion of subsequent events in this report, other
additional events which materially affect the value of the Company have
transpired, and are generally as follows:
Earlier this month, Academy Insurance Financial Services, Inc., changed
its name to Genesis Insurance Financial Services, Inc., to better reflect the
operations of the Company. Additionally, Genesis Insurance Financial Services,
Inc., through its newly-formed subsidiary, Guarantee Settlement Corporation,
Inc., and its subdivision, Longhorn Energy Corporation, Inc. (both Delaware
corporations), acquired a 620-acre agricultural operation, yielding an
additional $325,000 in revenues, and over $1.2 Million in asset value (real
estate, equipment, livestock, etc.). This property has been announced to the
public during this previous week, and the same were deeded to Guarantee
Settlement Corporation, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of GUARDIAN.
Further, in addition to this transaction, five drilled and capped gas
wells tested for reserves and appraised, utilizing state-certified geologists'
analysis and audit reports on the natural gas wells, original valuation of $3.2
million, was reported based on a previous gas price obtained through public
data, selecting last years' prices (1995). However, due to the increased price
of over $3 per unit of gas sold, the value has increased dramatically to over $5
million. These energy rights and the liberty interest therein, together with
the wells, have been deeded into LONGHORN ENERGY CORPORATION, INC., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of GUARDIAN (a Delaware corporation).
Further, based on these new events, together with previous history and
earnings, it is estimated current book value of GUARDIAN INSURANCE FINANCIAL
SERVICES, INC., and its wholly-owned subsidiary divisions, is determined to be
approximately $14.50 per share, utilizing a calculation of 20% in calculating
contingent liabilities (this being the standard of the regulated insurance
industry); however, GUARDIAN and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, not being
regulated insurers, has taken a more conservative approach to calculating the
book value of the Company. The Company has used a 100% subtraction of
contingent liabilities outstanding at the present time (rather than 20%), to
estimate the book value of the Company based on outstanding shares of 10
million to date, to be approximately $11.
This information has been provided by certified geologists' appraisals,
reports and information from the Company and management, together with public
information available for consideration; therefore, based upon investigation of
the facts, it is believed that the foregoing representations accurately reflect
the current book value of GUARDIAN INSURANCE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. at the
present time. Pending economic and market conditions could affect the book
value of the Company, as well as any addition and subtraction of contingent
139
144
liabilities; likewise, real-time analysis of the current financial status of
GUARDIAN INSURANCE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. should be made, and it is
recommended that individuals not sophisticated in reviewing such matters
contact specialized consultants prior to making investment decisions.
140
145
CURRENT AND PROJECTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Based on current outstanding shares at 10,500,000 shares of common
stock, the current earnings per share is approximately $0.035 gross earnings
per share to date. While earnings per share based on current projections for
the next five years are as follows:
1995: $0.03 per share
1996: $0.27 per share
1997: $0.11 per share
1998: $1.51 per share
1999: $2.25 per share
2000: $3.54 per share
It should be noted that these projections take into consideration that
additional shares will be issued and pursuant to an anticipated secondary public
offering; and, even though anticipated revenue projections are sizable, the
number of shares outstanding will have increased dramatically, resulting in the
estimated earnings per share as represented above.
It should also be noted that, should the anticipated secondary offering
not be successful, or should economic or other adverse conditions ensue, the
estimated earnings per share could be dramatically less, or nonexistent, should
economic conditions negatively impact the balance sheet and operations of
GUARDIAN and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Conversely, should economic conditions have an increased positive
effect on the operations and balance sheets of GUARDIAN, and should the
secondary offering be successful, the estimated earnings per share could be
higher than represented above. Consequently, caution should be exercised with
the knowledge that earnings per share as well as the current book value of
GUARDIAN and its wholly-owned subsidiaries could be dramatically decreased and
shareholder value could be lost entirely under adverse circumstances which are
present on any industry which relies upon current economic conditions to
support its projected value and success.
