                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                  September 30, 1998
                                     (Unaudited)

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, 1997, together with certain procedural disclosures.

2.   Basis of reporting

     The balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, the statements of operations
     for the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and the nine
     month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the statement of changes
     in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
     the statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30,
     1998 and 1997 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, 1998
     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, 1997.

3.   Rental property

     Real estate owned consists of a shopping center (the "Center") located in
     Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Approximately 12.5% of the Center is leased to a
     tenant on a month-to-month basis. Minimum rent in connection with this
     tenant is $3,500 per month.  The remaining 87.5% of the Center is vacant.

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

Results of Operations

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a net loss of $15,253
before income taxes compared to a net loss of $13,970 for the same period of
1997.  The increase resulted principally from the decrease in rental income of
$28,228 attributable to the termination of the Witmark, Inc. lease in September
1997.  The decrease in income was offset in part by a decrease in professional
fees of $25,592 primarily attributable to litigation in connection with the
termination of the Witmark, Inc. lease in September 1997.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company recorded a loss of
$57,271 before income taxes compared to income of $43,007 for the same period of
1997.  The decrease resulted principally from the decrease in rental income of
$138,494 attributable to the termination of the Witmark, Inc. lease in September
1997.  The decrease in income was offset in part by a decrease in professional
fees of $33,573 primarily attributable to litigation in connection with the
termination of the Witmark Inc. lease in September 1997.

Impact of Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue affects computer applications that may not properly
recognize and process data for the year 2000 and beyond because of the use of
two digits rather than four to define an applicable year.  The Company presently
is not aware of any material operational year 2000-related concerns and believes
that, with minor modifications to existing accounting software or conversion to
new software, any Year 2000 concerns can be mitigated.  Based on management's
best estimate, the costs associated with the year 2000 mitigation are not
expected to be material to the Company.

However, the Company maintains significant cash and cash equivalent balances at
Wells Fargo Bank (the Bank), a major banking institution.  The Company cannot,
at this time, make any assurances that the computer systems of the Bank will be
Year 2000 compliant.  In such event, the Company's results of operations and
financial position could be adversely affected in a material manner.  In fiscal
1999, management of the Company will request information from the Bank regarding
its year 2000 readiness and evaluate the possible impact on the Company.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.
