It appears to the Securities and

Exchange Commission that there is a

lack of adequate and accurate current

Questions have been raised about

publicly-disseminated information

concerning, among other things: (1)

arrangements, understandings or

agreements to artificially control the

market for GNFL’s securities; (2) the

ownership of GNFL’s securities; (3) the

status of a proposed acquisition of

Lazer-Tek Designs, Inc. by GNFL; (4) the

business prospects of Lazer-Tek; and (5)

the business prospects of GNFL.

The Commission is of the opinion that

the public interest and the protection of

investors require a suspension of trading

in the securities of the above listed

company.

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to

Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934, that trading in the above

listed company is suspended for the

period from 9:00 a.m. EST, October 27,

1997 through 11:59 p.m. EST, on

November 7, 1997.

By the Commission.
