                          Independent Auditor's Report


To the Board of Directors
Heartland Technology, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Zecal Incorporated as of
January 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of operations, net capital
deficiencies and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Zecal Incorporated as of
January 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Zecal
Incorporated will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note
1, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has working capital
and net capital deficiencies. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.    OWNERSHIP, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
      POLICIES

OWNERSHIP AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Zecal Incorporated (the "Company") is owned by LucasVarity Corporation (95.3%)
and Kalman Zsamboky (4.7%). In 1995, LucasVarity Corporation ("the parent
company") purchased an 80% interest in Ceramic Packaging, Inc. and subsequently
changed the name to Zecal Incorporated. The purchase price of $4,000,000 created
goodwill of $2,217,000 which has not been reflected in the accompanying
financial statements of Zecal Incorporated.

Zecal Incorporated has a patented process to plate copper directly on ceramic
circuit board panels. The Company's production facility is located in
Churchville, New York.

GOING CONCERN

The Company has experienced significant operating losses since inception and, at
January 31, 1998, has a working capital deficiency of $12,396,525 and a net
capital deficiency of $9,251,267. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT

The company considers all short term investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out
basis.

1.     OWNERSHIP, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
       POLICIES (CONTINUED)

EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS

Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are determined by the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

         Manufacturing equipment                        7-10
         Engineering equipment                          7-10
         Computer equipment                                5
         Office furniture and fixtures                     5

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the
useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is less.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recorded upon shipment of product to the customer.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value.

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 at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
