Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

              On December 31, 2004, Heartland, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired 100% of Karkela Construction, Inc. (“Karkela”) in consideration of $100,000 in cash at closing, a short term promissory note payable of $50,000, a promissory note for $1,305,000 payable on or before March 31, 2005 (the “Note”) and 500,000 restricted newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Note was secured by the assets of Karkela including 100% of the equity interest of Karkela.

               In connection with the Company’s default under the terms of the Note, in August 2007, the Company corresponded with the former owner of Karkela (“Former Owner”) in an attempt to restructure the payment terms of the Note.  The Former Owner advised that he intended to foreclose on the security interest securing the obligation of the Note.  As the Company has no other alternative and had no further desire to maintain Karkela as a subsidiary of the Company, on November 1, 2007, the Company has elected to discontinue efforts with respect to Karkela and forfeit the security interest pledged in connection with the Note.  As a result, Karkela is no longer a subsidiary of the Company.

Item 9.01               Financial Statements and Exhibits

Not applicable.

(b)           Proforma Financial Information
