                            Notes to Financial Statements
                                    March 31, 1998
                                     (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, 1997 together with certain procedural disclosures.

2.   Basis of reporting

     The balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, the statements of operations for
     the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the statement of
     changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
     and the statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended March
     31, 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 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, 1998 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,
     1997.

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




Results of operations

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a loss of $33,875, before
income taxes, compared to income of $16,373 before income taxes for the same
period in 1997.  The decrease resulted principally from the decrease in rental
income of $57,744 attributable to the termination of the Witmark, Inc. lease in
September 1997.
