                                           INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



The Board of Directors
Las Vegas Airlines, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Las Vegas Airlines,  Inc. as
of September 30, 1997 and 1996,  and the related  statements  of operations  and
retained  earnings  (deficit),  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 these 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
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a 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 Las Vegas Airlines, Inc., as of
September 30, 1997 and 1996,  and the results of its  operations  and cash flows
for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                                           Notes to Financial Statements

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Organization

       The Company was  incorporated  in  October,  1973,  under the laws of the
       State of Nevada to operate  air taxis  services  under  Federal  Aviation
       Regulation 135. The primary  services  include  scheduled  commuter,  air
       tours and charters to the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas.

       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 amount reported in the financial  statements
       and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       Basis of Presentation

       At September  30, 1997,  the  Company's  current  obligations  exceed its
       current assets by approximately  $242,000 ($198,000 in 1996).  Management
       believes  the  Company  will be able to  continue  in business as a going
       concern;  however,  that  is  dependent  upon  its  ability  to  continue
       profitable operations and/or obtain additional working capital to finance
       continuance of operations. (See note 6)

       Inventories

       Inventories consist of airplane parts and are stated at the cost.

       Revenue Recognition

       Income is recognized after air transportation is provided.

       Concentration of Credit Risk

       The Company sell its tours primarily through  independent travel industry
       organizations located throughout the United States and overseas.  Ongoing
       credit evaluations of customers'  financial condition is performed by the
       Company and generally  collateral is not  required.  Management  believes
       that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary.

       Income taxes

       The Company's tax provision is calculated in accordance with Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

       Cash Equivalents

       For purposes of the  statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers all
       highly liquid debt instruments  purchased with a maturity of three months
       or less to be cash  equivalents.  The Company had no such  equivalents as
       September 30, 1997 and 1996.


       Depreciation

                                                        10

<PAGE>




       Depreciation  is generally  computed over a range of three to seven years
       of  estimated  useful  lives of the assets  using the  straight-line  and
       double-declining   balance   methods  for  financial  and  tax  reporting
       purposes. Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 1997 and
       1996 was $99,999 and $99,999.

       Advertising

       The Company  expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred.
       Advertising  expense for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, was
       $30,065 and $33,780, respectively.

2.     INCOME TAXES

       Deferred  taxes  are  determined  based  on the  difference  between  the
       financial  statement basis and tax basis of assets and  liabilities,  and
       measured  at the  enacted  tax rates  that will be in effect  when  those
       differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is determined by the change in
       the net deferred tax asset or liability.

       The provision (credit) for income taxes for the years ended September 30,
       1997 and 1996 is comprised of the following:

                                                       $       (1,000)        $       (31,000)

       At  September  30,  1997,  the  Company has a federal  net  operating  of
       approximately  $150  ($150,000 in 1996).  The credit for income taxes for
       the years ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,  reflect the utilization of
       the net operating losses that will be carried back to prior years.

       As of  September  30,  1997,  the Company had net  deferred tax assets of
       approximately $2,200. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by
       a valuation  allowance.  The net valuation  allowance decreased by $4,100
       during the current  year.  Deferred  tax assets  relate  primarily to net
       operating  losses to be carried back,  and certain  accrued  expenses and
       reserves that are not currently deductible for income tax purposes.

5.         CONTINGENCIES

           Excise Taxes

           The Internal Revenue Service has assessed  additional excise taxes on
airline tickets as follows:

                           Tax period ended

                           December 31, 1990                          $   24,460
                           December 31, 1991                             151,854
                           December 31, 1992                             151,216



                                   Total                              $  327,530

          The company  denies  responsibility  for these taxes since the airline
          tickets  which cover these  additional  taxes were issued  overseas by
          unrelated  agencies and the Company is not  responsible for collection
          and  payment.  The Internal  Revenue  Service  appeals  officer made a
          verbal  offer to settle this  dispute  for 20% of the total  amount at
          issue.  The Company filed a complaint  with the U.S.  Court of Federal
          Claims on April 21, 1995. On July 24, 1995,  the Company  received the
          answer to the  complaint.  The case is  currently  pending in the U.S.
          Court of Federal Claims.  Outside  counsel  believes the Company has a
          very good chance to prevail in this  litigation.  Management  believes
          the  final  outcome  of this  litigation  will not have a  significant
          effect on the Company's financial statements.

          Payroll Taxes

          The Company is  currently  disputing  certain  payroll  taxes that the
          Internal  Revenue  Service says are past due in the amount of $34,000.
          The Company  believes the Internal Revenue Service has applied certain
          credits and refunds to periods  already  closed by a Bankruptcy  Court
          Order dated January 4, 1994.
          Negotiations are ongoing and the company believes it will prevail.

6.        SUBSEQUENT EVENT

          On January 23, 1998, the Company and its sole shareholder entered into
          a Share Purchase  Agreement  with Hermaton  Company to sell 51% of the
          Common Stock. The purchase price is $500,000.  The funds from the sale
          will be used to support operations of the Company.

7.        SALE/LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

          The Company entered into a  sale/leaseback  transaction  regarding two
          airplanes (see note 4). The sale/leaseback  transaction  resulted in a
          gain of $252,864, which is reported in the statement of operations.

                                           Notes to Financial Statements



1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization

         The Company was  incorporated  in October  1973,  under the laws of the
         State of Nevada to operate air taxis  services  under Federal  Aviation
         Regulation 135. The primary services include  scheduled  commuter,  air
         tours and charters to the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas.

         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  amount  reported  in the  financial
         statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ from
         those estimates.

         Basis of Presentation

         At March 31, 1998, the Company's current obligations exceed its current
         assets by approximately $240,000.  Management believes the Company will
         be able to continue in business as a going  concern;  however,  that is
         dependent  upon its ability to continue  profitable  operations  and/or
         obtain additional working capital to finance continuance of operations.
         (See note 6)

         Inventories

         Inventories consist of airplane parts and are stated at the cost.

         Revenue Recognition

         Income is recognized after air transportation is provided.

         Concentration of Credit Risk

         The  Company  sell  its  tours  primarily  through  independent  travel
         industry   organizations  located  throughout  the  United  States  and
         overseas.  Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition
         is performed by the Company and  generally  collateral is not required.
         Management  believes  that an allowance  for  doubtful  accounts is not
         necessary.

         highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three 
         months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no such 
         equivalents as of March 31, 1998

         Depreciation

         Depreciation is generally computed over a range of three to seven years
         of estimated  useful lives of the assets  using the  straight-line  and
         double-declining  balance  methods  for  financial  and  tax  reporting
         purposes.  Depreciation expense for the six months ended March 31, 1998
         was $26,965.

         Advertising

         The  Company  expenses  the  cost  of  advertising  and  promotions  as
         incurred.  Advertising  expense for the six months ended March 31, 1998
         was $16,400.

2.       INCOME TAXES

         Deferred  taxes are  determined  based on the  difference  between  the
         financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities,  and
         measured  at the  enacted  tax rates that will be in effect  when those
         differences  reverse.  Deferred tax expense is determined by the change
         in the net deferred tax asset or liability.

         The provision  (credit) for income taxes for the six months ended March
         31, 1998 is comprised of the following:

         As of March 31,  1998,  the  Company  had net  deferred  tax  assets of
         approximately  $2,200. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset
         by a valuation  allowance.  The net valuation did not change during the
         six-month period. Deferred tax assets relate primarily

        expiring July through  December 2003, at a total annual rent of $86,864.
        The lease agreements include the option to terminate the lease after the
        year 1999 upon payment of 4% of the remaining  payments.  Each year this

        The Company leases its plant facilities under a month to month renewable
        lease.  The  rent  expense  included  in the  statements  of  operations
        (including  equipment  rental)  amounted  to $55,136  for the six months
        ended March 31, 1998.

5.  CONTINGENCIES

        Excise Taxes

        The Internal  Revenue  Service has assessed  additional  excise taxes on
        airline tickets as follows:







                                                        23

                    Tax period ended

                    December 31, 1990$                  24,460
                    December 31, 1991                  151,854
                    December 31, 1992                  151,216

                          Total                   $    327,530

        The  company  denies  responsibility  for these  taxes since the airline
        tickets  which cover  these  additional  taxes were  issued  overseas by
        unrelated agencies and the Company is not responsible for collection and
        payment.  The Internal  Revenue  Service  appeals  officer made a verbal
        offer to settle this dispute for 20% of the total  amount at issue.  The
        Company filed a complaint with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on April
        21,  1995.  On July 24,  1995,  the Company  received  the answer to the
        complaint.  The case is currently  pending in the U.S.  Court of Federal
        Claims.  Outside counsel  believes the Company has a very good chance to
        prevail in this  litigation.  Management  believes the final  outcome of
        this  litigation  will not have a  significant  effect on the  Company's
        financial statements.

        Payroll Taxes

        The  Company  is  currently  disputing  certain  payroll  taxes that the
        Internal Revenue Service says are past due in the amount of $34,000. The
        Company  believes  the  Internal  Revenue  Service has  applied  certain
        credits  and refunds to periods  already  closed by a  Bankruptcy  Court
        Order dated  January 4, 1994.  Negotiations  are ongoing and the company
        believes it will prevail.

6.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        On January 23, 1998, the Company and its sole shareholder entered into a
        Share  Purchase  Agreement  with  Heramaton  Company  to sell 51% of the
        Common Stock.  The purchase  price is $500,000.  The funds from the sale
        will be used to support operations of the Company.

7.      SALE/LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

        The Company  entered into a  sale/leaseback  transaction on one airplane
        (see  note 4).  The  sale/leaseback  transaction  resulted  in a gain of
        $140,255, which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
