                       Notes to Financial Statements
                              March 31, 1996
                                (Unaudited)


1.   Significant accounting policies

     Significant accounting policies of Regency Equities Corp. are set
forth
     in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed by the Company for the
year
     ended December 31, 1995, together with certain procedural
disclosures.

2.   Basis of reporting

     The balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, the statements of
operations for
     the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the
statement of
     changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March
31,
     1996, and the statements of cash flows for the three month
periods ended
     March 31, 1996 and 1995, have been prepared by the Company
without
     audit.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for
     interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to
Form
     10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
include
     all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion
     of management, such statements include all adjustments
(consisting only
     of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a
fair
     presentation of the financial position of the Company at March
31, 1996
     and the results of its operations and cash flow for the three
month
     period then ended.  It is suggested that these financial
statements be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto
     included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended
     December 31, 1995.

3.   Rental property

     Real estate owned consists of a shopping center in Grand Rapids,
     Michigan.  Two tenants lease space in the shopping center.  The
leases
     expire on July 10, 1997 and August 31, 1999.  

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and
         Results of Operations




Material changes in financial condition

There was a material change in the Company's financial condition
during the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 arising from the payment of a cash
dividend of
$13,092,549 (see "Dividend" below).  


Results of operations

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded net income of
$3,737
before income taxes compared to a net loss of $353,719 for the same
period of
1995.  The increase in net income resulted principally from (i) a
decrease in
administrative expenses of $107,435 primarily due to decreases in
shareholders' meeting costs and directors' fees attributable to a
proxy
contest between the Company and the Regency Shareholders Committee;
and (ii)
a decrease in professional fees of $301,543 primarily attributable to
legal
fees incurred in connection with the proxy contest.  The increase in
income
was offset in part by a decrease in interest income of $51,611 caused
by the
decrease in cash earning interest attributable to the $13,092,549
dividend. 
Reference is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year
ended December 31, 1995 for a more detailed discussion of the proxy
contest. 


Dividend

The Company paid a cash dividend on February 7, 1995 of $13,092,549
($.15 per
share) to shareholders which represented approximately 77.5% and 77.8%
of the
Company's assets and stockholders' equity, respectively, as of
December 31,
1994.
