1.   Significant accounting policies
 
     Significant accounting policies of Regency Equities Corp. (the Company) 
     are set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed by the Company 
     for the year ended December 31, 1996, together with certain procedural 
     disclosures.

2.   Basis of reporting

     The balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, the statements of operations 
     for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the 
     nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the statement of 
     changes in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 
     1997 and the statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended 
     September 30, 1997 and 1996 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 with 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 statement presentation. 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 September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations and cash 
     flow for the three month and nine month periods 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, 1996.
