Accountants' Review Report
--------------------------
To the Board of Directors
NuWay Energy, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NuWay Energy,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 in accordance with the
Statements for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial
statements is the representation of the management of NuWay Energy, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2000 was audited by us and we
expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated March 15, 2001, and
restated on March 12, 2002 but we have not performed any auditing procedures
since that date.

the company has invested approximately $1,850,000 in NuWay Resources,
Ltd. Such expenditures have been included in the accompanying financial
statement as follows:

venture has not generated any cash flow; however, the company
anticipates cash flows to be generated in the forth quarter.
All material intercompany transactions, balance and profits have been
eliminated.
C Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and Equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on
accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives
of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized.
When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Whenever there
is a change in events or circumstances, the Company performances an
impairment analysis by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows and
if they are less than the carrying amount, and impairment charge is
recorded to reduce the assets to its estimated fair value.
D Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Revenue is recognized monthly on the rental of slot machines as the
slot machines are placed in service. Typical rental arrangements for
slot machines are for one year or less in duration with consistent rent
income earned over the life of the lease. As a general rule the company
does not incur any significant direct costs with the inception of a
lease. All leasing expense, payroll and maintenance of equipment are
charged to operations as incurred. Revenue on the sale of cigars are
recorded when customer orders are shipped. The cost of cigar sales
represents the direct cost of the product sold.
E Statement of Cash Flows
-----------------------
For purposes of this statement, the company considers all liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.

----------------------------------------------
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
------- ------------------------------------------
F Income (Loss) Per Common Share
------------------------------
Basic earnings per common share and common share equivalent were
computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted
earnings per share was calculated based on the assumption that the
increase in the number of common shares assumed outstanding on
conversion are reduced by the number of common shares that are assumed
to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the incentive
stock options. During 2001 and 2000 all warrants, stock options and
underwriters options (Notes 4, 5, 6, 7) were anti-dilutive, and
excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share. In the future, these warrants, stock options, and underwriter
options could be dilutive and as such future earnings per share could
be diluted by 7,607,496 additional shares.
G Significant Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------------------
The company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining
deposits in banks located within the same geographic region. The
maximum loss that would have resulted from risk totaled $1,297,000 and
$4,320,000 as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 for the
excess of the deposit liabilities reported by the bank over the amounts
that would have been covered by federal deposit insurance.
H 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the
period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates are used when accounting for uncollectible accounts
receivable, obsolescence, equipment depreciation and amortization,
taxes, among others.
I Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
For most international operations, assets and liabilities are
translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues
and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during
the year. Translation adjustments, resulting from fluctuations in
exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of shareholders'
equity, as other comprehensive income (loss).
J Inventories
-----------
Inventory of cigars and related material are stated at the lower of
average cost or market.

25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As such, compensation
expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market
price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Certain pro
forma net income and EPS disclosures for employee stock options grants
are also included in the notes to the financial statements as if the
fair value method as defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
Transactions in equity instruments with non-employees for goods or
services are accounted for by the fair value method.

statement of operations is approximately $100,000 and $73,000
advertising expense charged to operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Substantially all

possible mergers, acquisitions and internal capital structuring. The
duration of the contract is for five years. In consideration for these
services, the company granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of
225,000 shares of common stock at the closing bid price of $1.875 as of
June 5, 1998, which can be exercised through June 5, 2003. Effective
February 8, 2000, the Board of Directors reduced the exercise price to
$1.06, which was the closing price of the stock at that date (See Note
7). At the date of issuance and subsequent re-pricing date the warrant
price equaled or exceeded the market value of the corporate stock. The
incremental value of the re-priced warrants over the current value of
the warrants calculated with the Black-Scholes option pricing model was
recorded in the restated financial statements of year 2000.
Note 5. Incentive Stock Option Plan
------- ---------------------------
On June 13, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted the 1994 Stock Option
Plan in which the aggregate number of shares for which options may be
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares. The term of
each option shall not exceed ten years from the date of granting (five
years for options granted to employees owning more than 10% of the
outstanding shares of the voting stock of the company). The 1991 plan
became effective on September 30, 1991 and was terminated in March,
1999. The 1994 plan became effective on June 13, 1994 and will
terminate in June, 2004, unless terminated earlier by action of the
Board of Directors. In December, 1995, the company authorized the
issuance under the 1994 Stock Option Plan of 492,500 options at an
exercise price of $2.50 per share to various officers and employees. On
March 6, 1997 the company authorized the issuance of an additional
415,000 options at an exercise price of $2.50 to various officers and
employees. In June, 1999, the company increased the shares allocated to
the plan to 1,500,000. Effective December 31, 1998, the company
ratified the repricing of the employee stock options to $1.00 per share
and simultaneously authorized the issuance of 85,000 options at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share and canceled 10,000 options issued in
1995 at $2.50 per share. Effective February, 2000 the company issued
35,000 options at an exercise price of $1.06 and in December, 2000 the
company issued 80,000 options at a $1.75 exercise price.(See Note 7)

The weighted average fair value of options granted during fiscal 2000
was $1.07 per share. All options were granted at an exercise price that
equaled the market price.
The Company adopted the provision so SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation, effective for fiscal year 1997 for all issuances of
stock options to non-employees of the Company. The Company will
continue to apply APB Opinion On 25 (Opinion 25), Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees for all issuances stock options to its employees.
In June 1999, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation Number 44, which requires re-priced options be
re-measured for expenses each quarter based on the quarter end stock
price. Expenses are also re-measured upon exercise for the options. The
Company recorded $491,900 and no expenses as a result of the
aforementioned accounting in 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined based upon the fair
value at the grant date for options granted consistent with the
provision of SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

company for at least 4 months following the amendment of her contract.

--------------
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include assets relating to
the company's slot machine rental operations in Peru and Colombia of
$3,200,000 and $970,000, respectively. Although these countries are

unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the company's
operations. In that regard, the company was informed that in Peru an
excise tax has been instituted effective October 1, 1996, on the leases
of gaming equipment. The company with others in the industry negotiated
with the appropriate governmental agencies and have had the excise tax
significantly curtailed. In addition, a significant portion of the
company's inventory in cigars is being stored in South America awaiting
instructions to deliver them to the Miami location. Revenue from rental
operations is entirely earned in Colombia and Peru. In addition, the
consolidated balance sheets include assets relating to the company's
Canadian investment in a working interest in oil and gas operations of
approximately $1,850,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
General
-------
In August 2001 Latin American Casinos, Inc., changed its name to NuWay
Energy, Inc. to reflect the new direction of the Company. The Company has
entered the oil and gas industries in Canada via the formation of subsidiaries
in Alberta Canada and Nevada U.S. The Company is continuing to explore potential
acquisitions in the energy field without disturbing its current business
operations.
In 2001 the Company formed two subsidiaries, NuWay Resources, Inc., a
Nevada Corporation, and NuWay Resources of Canada, Ltd., a Canadian company. As
of September 30, 2001 the Company has invested approximately $1,850,000 in these
subsidiaries.
In August 2001 the Company, through it's Canadian Subsidiary, purchased
a 30% working interest from Westlinks Resources Ltd in the Superb area of
Saskatchewan, Canada. In September 2001, the Company, through it's Canadian
Subsidiary, purchased a 20% working interest from Westlinks Resources, Ltd's
Altares gas project in Northeast British Columbia.
Since January 1995, the Company has been engaged in the renting of slot
machines and other gaming equipment to licensed gaming establishments in various
cities through its wholly owned subsidiaries in South and Central America. In
1994, the Company formed its Peruvian subsidiary in late 1995 the Company formed
its Colombian subsidiary.
As of September 30, 2001, the Company had approximately 950 machines
under rental contracts in Peru and Colombia.
The Company currently concentrates its efforts on the rental of used
slot machines. These machines were purchased at a fraction of the cost of new
machines and are refurbished for use in South and Central America. Whereas a new
slot machine would cost approximately $10,000 plus additional charges for duty,
the used slot machines cost approximately $700 each including freight, duty, and
refurbishing expenditures.
In September 1997, the Company incorporated World's Best Rated Cigar
Company, as a wholly owned subsidiary, to distribute premium cigars. It was
originally intended that the company would acquire quality cigars from six
manufacturers and market them at "off price" through large retail chains. In
February 2000, the marketing strategy was modified to include selling directly
to consumers through our web site, www.worldsbestrated.com, and our toll free
number.
In March 2001, the company sold its Miami property for an aggregate
consideration of $139,000 and recorded an additional loss on disposition of
$64,000. The $64,000 loss had been recorded as an impairment charges in the
restated financial statement for year 2000. In addition, the company recorded a
reduction in value for certain slot machine parts of $194,000 and recorded
gaming equipment impairment costs of $100,000. The impairment costs associated
with gaming equipment parts was the result of non usable parts previously
recorded as part of slot machine fixed asset costs on the accompanying balance
sheet. The impairment costs on the gaming equipment of $100,000 was the result
of management's on-going valuation as to the utility of gaming equipment in
conjunction with decreased volume of operations.
In February, 2001 the company announced that it had entered into a non
binding letter of intent to merge with Digital Convergence Corporation, a
privately held California company. The merger agreement had been rescinded in
May, 2001 and the company recorded $52,000 as an additional asset impairment
cost.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Revenues from the rental of slot machines in Peru and Colombia for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased by $43,500 or 29%, to $109,000
from $152,600 for the same period in 2000. The Company's revenues from cigar
sales were $51,000 in the third quarter of 2001 as compared to sales of $36,600,
an increase of 39% for the same period in 2000.
Revenues from the rental of slot machines in Peru and Colombia for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased by $182,900 or 33%, to $374,800
from $557,700 for the comparable period in 2000. The Company's revenues from
cigar sales were $122,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as
compared to sales of $111,800 for the same period in 2000 or an increase in
revenues of 10%.
As of September 30, 2001, the Company's interest in oil and gas
ventures has not generated any revenue; however, the company anticipates
revenues will be generated in the forth quarter.
The decrease in slot machine revenue was the result of the overall
weakness of the economy in South America. Additionally, the decrease was due in
part to continued concerns over government-mandated obsolescence, political
changes, increased competition as well as the devaluation of foreign currency.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred in the quarter
ended September 30, 2001 increased $849,400 or 172%, to $1,343,900 from $494,600
for the same period in 2000. Selling, general, and administrative expenses
incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased $1,130,400 or
73%, to $2,688,000 from $1,557,600 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in expenses are due in part to the increased cost of
servicing the older machines, fees and costs associated with exploring new
ventures and acquisitions, rent expenses for the new California offices,
business development costs, and significant travel expenditures related to the
oil and gas ventures.
Net (loss) for the three months ended September 2001 was ($1,231,800)
or ($0.29) per share compared to ($350,500) loss or ($0.11) per share for the
same period in 2000. Net (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was
($2,642,000) or ($0.63) per share compared to ($1,033,900) or $0.31 per share
for the same period in 2000.
The increase in net loss was attributable to the significant decline in
revenues from slot machine operations and an increase in overhead expenditures,
costs associated with exploring new ventures and acquisitions, as well as
certain non-recurring expenses for the rescinded merger and asset impairment
costs.
Through September 30, 2001 the Company expended approximately
$1,190,000 on the establishment of a premium cigar business; minor additional
expenditures for marketing and personnel are expected throughout the year 2001.
No additional costs associated with acquisitions of new cigars and related
inventory occurred in year 2001. In 2001 an insignificant amount was spent to
acquire additional inventory.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $2,987,700 or 73%, to
$1,435,000 at September 30, 2001 from $4,422,700 at December 31, 2000. The
decrease is attributable to costs and expenses associated with oil and gas
acquisitions, the poor results of operations in both our slot machine and cigar
operations and the increase in corporate overhead expenditures.
The Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations and interest
earned on cash equivalents, as well as significant revenues anticipated from
it's oil and gas operations will be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the
next twelve months. The Company does not have any commitments for material
capital expenditures.
Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------
From time to time, the Company may publish forward looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, new products and certain other matters. The words "may", "will",
"expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "project", "intend" and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safeharbor,
the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause its actual results and
experience to differ materially from anticipated results and other expectations
that may effect the operations, performance, development and results of the
Company's business, including the following:
1. Changes in government regulations of gaming, tobacco, and oil and gas
exploration could have an effect on the Company's operations and
business.
2. Political factors affecting Canada, and South and Central America,
particularly as they pertain to currency valuation, could affect the
Company's business in ways, which are difficult to predict.
3. The Company's proposed venture into oil and gas exploration is subject
to all the risks and uncertainties associated with the commencement of
a new enterprise and those associated with oil and gas exploration
including: operating hazards, drilling risks and fluctuations in the
price of oil and gas. There can be no assurances that the Company will
be able to successfully penetrate the market, or that this operation
will become profitable.
4. The Company may be required to raise additional funds to expand its
business operations, particularly the Company's proposed venture into
oil and gas exploration, if it proves successful. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to raise such funds, either
through the sale of equity or debt securities or through commercial
sources. The inability to acquire needed capital could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's ability to expand.
