                            Washington, D.C. 20549


                                 SCHEDULE 13D

        This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D statement (the "Schedule") is
filed on behalf of Statesman Group, Inc. ("Statesman") as the reporting person
hereunder, and amends the Second Amended Schedule 13D filed by Statesman on
April 4, 1995, which reported on events of March 31, 1995.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

        This Schedule relates to the voting common stock, $0.40 par value, of
Regency Affiliates, Inc. ("Regency"). Regency maintains its principal executive
offices at 3340 S.E. Federal Hwy., Suite 210, Stuart, Florida 34997 and its
administrative offices at 10842 Old Mill Road, No. 5B, Omaha, Nebraska 68154.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

        Statesman Group, Inc. has relocated its principal business office to
King & George Streets, Nassau, Bahamas.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        Shares were issued to Statesman by the Registrant in consideration of
the execution by Statesman of the contract discussed in Item 6.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        (j)     As a result of the contract discussed in Item 6, an additional
466,667 shares of Regency's $0.40 par value common stock will be issued to
Statesman. In addition, Statesman is given the option to purchase an additional
6,100,000 shares of Regency's $0.40 par value common stock until April 15,
2007, at a price equal to $0.69 per share, which was the fair market value of
the stock on June 3, 1997. Statesman may consider, but has no present plans or
proposals to effectuate, the exercise of this option in whole or in part.


                                     3 of 5


<PAGE>   4
        (k)     Except as set forth above, neither Statesman nor any
Instruction C Person has any present plans or proposals to take any actions 
similar to any of those enumerated in (a) through (j) above.

ITEMS 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        (a)     As of the close of business on June 12, 1997, Statesman
beneficially owned 3,126,377 shares (or approximately 25.9% of the pro forma
12,048,972 outstanding shares as of such date) of Regency's $0.40 par value
common stock.

        It should be noted that both the total shares disclosed in this Item as
being owned by Statesman, and the total number of Regency shares outstanding,
include 466,667 shares which Statesman is entitled to receive, but which have
not yet been issued to Statesman.

        (b)     Statesman has sole power to vote or to direct the voting of,
and the sole power to direct the disposition of, the 3,126,377 common, 208,850
Series-C preferred shares and 177 Series-E preferred shares of Regency held by
it. In addition, under the Acquisition Agreement dated June 4, 1993 among
Statesman, Regency and National Resource Development Corporation, Regency's
Board of Directors received irrevocable proxies over 855,991 shares of Regency's
$0.40 par value common stock. Since the Acquisition Agreement gives Statesman
the right to designate the eight persons to fill vacancies on Regency's Board
of Directors until a shareholders meeting, Statesman might be regarded as
having effective current voting control over the 855,991 shares subject to such
irrevocable proxies. These shares, when combined with the 3,126,377 shares of
Regency common stock owned directly by Statesman as of June 12, 1997, would
entitle Statesman to vote a total of 3,982,368 shares, or approximately 33.1%
of the pro forma 12,048,972 outstanding as of June 12, 1997.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
        TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        Pursuant to a Contract dated June 3, 1997 between Statesman and
Regency, Statesman received 466,667 shares of Regency's $0.40 par value common
stock. Statesman also received an option to purchase a further 6,100,00 shares
of Regency's $0.40 par value common stock until April 15, 2007, at an
effective price of $0.69 per share.

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

        Contract dated June 3, 1997, between Regency Affiliates, Inc. and
Statesman Group, Inc., filed as Exhibit 10(b) to the Form 8-K filed by Regency
on June 13, 1997, and hereby incorporated by reference.
