PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
The corporate headquarters of Regency Equities Corp. (the "Company") are
located at 11845 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 900, Los Angeles, California
90064. The Company shares this suite on a rent-free basis with the
accounting firm of Engel, Kalvin, McMillan & Kipper, LLP. The Company's Chief
Financial Officer, Morris Engel, is a partner in Engel, Kalvin, McMillan &
Kipper, LLP. The Company has two employees: Mr. Engel and Allan L. Chapman,
the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President.
The Company owns a shopping center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Approximately
12% of the shopping center's space is leased to a tenant. The balance of the
shopping center's space has been vacant since July 1997. The Company
sustained a net operating loss of $79,885 from this property in 1998. For
further information regarding the Grand Rapids property, see the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto that are included in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
During 1998 and the preceding several years, substantially all of the
Company's remaining assets have consisted of cash which has been deposited
with several major United States banks. For further information regarding the
amount of revenue, operating profit or loss and identifiable assets
attributable to the Company's various operations, reference is made to the
Company's financial statements and notes thereto that are included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On January 16, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a cash
dividend of $.15 per share to stockholders of record as of January 30, 1995
and payable on February 7, 1995. The aggregate amount of the dividend was
$13,092,549, which represented approximately 77.5% and 77.8% of the Company's
total assets and stockholders' equity, respectively, as of December 31, 1994.
First Lincoln Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, beneficially owns
72,867,965 shares of the Company's common stock, which represents 83.48% of
the Company's outstanding common stock. Of that aggregate number of shares,
First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. is the record owner of 1,010,000 shares and
Evergreen Acceptance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of First Lincoln Holdings, Inc., is the record owner of 71,857,965
shares. Martin Oliner, who is a director of the Company, is the Chairman of
the Board of Directors, President, Chief Executive Officer and sole
stockholder of First Lincoln Holdings, Inc.
The nature and direction of the future business and operations of the Company
are uncertain. The Company has commenced preliminary negotiations with First
Lincoln Holdings, Inc. regarding a cash merger transaction which, if
consummated, would result in all stockholders other than First Lincoln
Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance Corporation receiving cash in
exchange for their shares of the Company's common stock. Following
consummation of the transaction, First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen
Acceptance Corporation would be the Company's only stockholders.
No specific transaction of the type described in the preceding paragraph has
been proposed or agreed upon by the parties, and it is uncertain whether or when
such a transaction will be proposed, agreed upon or consummated. Furthermore,
there is not yet any agreement or understanding regarding the price that
stockholders would receive if the parties decide to proceed with the
transaction.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
See "Item 1. Business." The Company does not own any real property other than
the Grand Rapids shopping center described above.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
REGENCY EQUITIES CORP. V. WITMARK, INC.,
NO. 97-06049-CK (COUNTY OF KENT, MICH.).
During 1997, the Company was advised that Witmark, Inc., which occupied
approximately 88% of the Grand Rapids shopping center, had commenced
liquidation proceedings. The Company filed an action against Witmark, Inc.
for amounts due under its lease. On September 8, 1997, the Company settled
this lawsuit for a cash payment from Witmark, Inc. of $120,000 and the return
of the premises to the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to the Company's stockholders during the quarter
ended December 31, 1998.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS.
(A) MARKET INFORMATION.
Until February 8, 1995, the principal market for the Company's common stock
was the Nasdaq National Market System. On that date, primarily as a result of
the Company's February 7, 1995 cash dividend which represented approximately
77.5% of its total assets, the Company's stock was delisted from the Nasdaq
National Market System. The common stock is now traded over-the-counter, and
there is not an active market for such stock.
The following table reflects the highest and lowest per share prices for the
Company's common stock as quoted for the periods indicated. Because there is
no longer an established, active public trading market for the Company's
common stock, the following prices may not be an accurate indication of the
value of such stock.

(a) The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and the Company's financial statements and notes thereto that
are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. On February 7,
1995, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.15 per share to stockholders of
record as of January 30, 1995. The aggregate amount of the dividend was
$13,092,549, which represented approximately 77.5% and 77.8% of the
Company's total assets and stockholders' equity, respectively, as of
December 31, 1994. The nature and direction of the future business plans
and operations of the Company are uncertain. See "Item 1. Business." As a
result of these
4
<PAGE>
factors, the selected financial data are not necessarily indicative of the
Company's future financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto that are included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. See "Item 1. Business" for a description of recent
developments affecting the Company and the future direction of the Company.
(a) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
(i) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1997.
The Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $81,864 in 1998 compared to
income before income taxes of $27,907 in 1997. The decrease resulted principally
from (i) a decrease in rental income of $138,574 attributable to the termination
of the lease of the Michigan shopping center with Witmark, Inc. and (ii) an
increase in rental operating expenses of $11,229. The decline in operating
results was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees of $35,791 primarily
attributable to the settlement of litigation with Witmark, Inc. See "Item 3.
Legal Proceedings."
The Company recorded a net loss of $84,084 in 1998 compared to a net loss of
$395,177 in 1997. The decrease in net loss resulted principally from a decrease
of $447,844 in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. A valuation
allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets to a value which, more
likely than not, will be realized. The valuation allowance against deferred tax
assets is determined by management based on its estimate of the amount which
will be realized from future profitability with reasonable certainty. In view of
the fact that the Company has not yet completed a definitive business plan, the
amount of deferred tax benefits expected to be realized for the determination of
the valuation allowance was based upon an assumption of two years of future
operations and the sale of the rental property at the end of the two-year
period.
(ii) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1996.
The Company recorded income before income taxes (benefit) of $27,907 in 1997
compared to $132,988 in 1996. The decrease resulted principally from (i) a
decrease in rental income of $86,023 attributable to the termination of the
lease with Witmark, Inc. and (ii) an increase of legal fees of $39,616
attributable to the litigation with Witmark, Inc. See "Item 3. Legal
Proceedings." The decline in operating results was partially offset by an
increase in interest income of $22,246.
The Company recorded a net loss of $395,177 in 1997 compared to net income of
$399,410 in 1996. The decrease in net income resulted principally from (i) the
decreases that are described in the immediately preceding paragraph and (ii) an
increase of $447,844 in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. In
view of the fact that the Company has not yet completed a definitive business
plan, the amount of deferred tax benefits expected to be realized for the
determination of the valuation allowance was based upon an assumption of two
years of future operations and the sale of the rental property at the end of the
two-year period. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was ($446,233) and ($1,223,793), respectively.
The decease in
5
<PAGE>
1997 resulted primarily from a decrease in the expected income from operations
and the sale of the rental property over the next two years. The decrease in
1996 resulted primarily from the expiration of loss carry-forwards offset by the
increase in the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized in the future as
determined by management.
(b) LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FUTURE OPERATIONS.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had cash in the amount of $3,113,031
invested in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with two major United
States banks. The Company has sufficient cash for its current operating needs;
the Company does not currently have any material commitments for capital
expenditures; and it has no present plans to incur any indebtedness.
The business direction of the Company is uncertain. As a result, the reported
financial information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is not
necessarily indicative of future operating results or of future financial
condition.
(c) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share
("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on
the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997 for all
entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common
shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible
securities. As the Company does not have any stock options, warrants or other
convertible securities outstanding, basic and diluted EPS are the same for all
periods presented.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS
No. 130 requires that an enterprise report, by major components, and as a single
total, the change in its net assets during the period from nonowner sources.
Adoption of this statement will not impact the Company's financial statements.
(d) 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
two United States banks. The Company cannot, at this time, make any assurances
that the computer systems of the banks will be year 2000 compliant. If such
systems are not year 2000 compliant, the Company's results of operations and
financial position could be adversely affected in a material manner. Management
intends to request information from the banks regarding their year 2000
readiness and to evaluate the possible impact on the Company.
6
<PAGE>
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable. The Company has exposure to interest rate changes as a result of
interest rate changes relating to the cash and cash equivalent balances that it
maintains with two banks. However, the Company believes that any such reasonably
anticipated changes in interest rates are unlikely to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position and results of operations.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
The information with respect to this item is set forth in the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form
10-K and listed in the Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement
Schedules set forth in Item 14 herein.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Not applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
Regency Equities Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Regency Equities Corp. as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Regency Equities Corp. at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REGENCY EQUITIES CORP.
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS: Regency Equities Corp. (the "Company") is incorporated in the state
of Delaware. The Company owns and leases to third parties a shopping center
in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
CASH: Cash at December 31, 1998 is deposited with two major U.S. banks. At
December 31, 1998 and throughout the year the Company has maintained balances
in its bank accounts in excess of the federally insured limit.
DEPRECIATION: Rental property is depreciated over its estimated useful life of
25 years using the straight-line method.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS: The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for
impairment to determine whether any events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such review includes
estimating expected future cash flows from operations and net realizable
value upon liquidation based on recent appraisals.
RENTAL INCOME: The Company recognizes minimum rents from leases on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Overage rentals are recognized in the
period earned.
INCOME TAXES: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REGENCY EQUITIES CORP.
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
ACCOUNTING 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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
EARNINGS PER SHARE: In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No
128 Earnings Per Share ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of
basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after
December 15, 1997 for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS
is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options,
warrants and other convertible securities. As the Company does not have any
stock options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding, basic
and diluted EPS are the same, and only basic EPS is presented.
NOTE B - RENTAL PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION
The Company, as lessor, leases space in a shopping center (the "Center")
located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
During 1997, the Company was advised that one tenant which occupied
approximately 87.5% of the Center had commenced liquidation proceedings. The
Company then filed an action against the tenant for all amounts due in
connection with the lease. In September 1997, the Company settled its lawsuit
with the tenant for a cash payment of $120,000 and the return of the leased
premises.
In July 1997, the lease for the remaining approximately 12.5% of the Center
expired. The tenant continues to occupy the space on a month-to-month basis.
Minimum rent in connection with this tenant is $3,500 per month.

A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets to a

reflects management's estimate of the amount which will be realized from
future profitability with reasonable certainty. The net change in the total
valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996
were ($2,328,949), $447,844 and ($1,223,793), respectively. The decreases in
1998 and 1996 resulted primarily from the expiration of loss carryforwards
and the increase in 1997 was due to the decrease in rental income.
