PART I

Item 1. Business.

The corporate headquarters of Regency Equities Corp. (the "Company") are
located at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 336, Los Angeles, California
90010. The Company shares this suite on a rent-free basis with the
accounting firm of Engel & Kalvin, LLP. The Company's Chief Financial
Officer, Morris Engel, is a partner in Engel & Kalvin, LLP. The Company
has two employees: Mr. Engel and Allan L. Chapman, the Company's Chairman
of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President.

In February 1990, the Company acquired an $850,000 promissory note with a
four-year term and an interest rate of 13% per annum. The note was secured
by a second mortgage on a commercial building in Westchester County, New
York. The obligor on the promissory note was Earl Reiss ("Reiss"), and the
guarantor was Richard Siegal ("Siegal").

During 1993, Reiss ceased making interest payments on the mortgage loan,
and the Company ceased accruing interest on the loan. The Company also
commenced an action for collection against Reiss and Siegal. In November
1994, the court awarded a summary judgment against Reiss in the amount of
$1,341,093. In July 1995, the court awarded a summary judgment against
Siegal in the amount of $1,564,753. On October 3, 1995, the Company
entered into a settlement agreement with Siegal whereby the Company
received $900,000 in cash in full settlement of all amounts outstanding
owed by Reiss and Siegal.

The Company owns a shopping center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Two tenants
lease space in the shopping center. Net operating income on this property
was approximately $160,480 in 1995. 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 1995 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.

In September 1991, the Company learned that it had been named as a
defendant in two amended complaints filed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") and Columbia Savings and Loan Association
("Columbia Savings"), respectively, against Michael Milken and several
hundred other defendants. A third complaint was filed in late 1991 by
American Savings of Florida which contained essentially the same
allegations as the FDIC and Columbia Savings actions. The three actions
collectively are referred to herein as the "Milken Litigation."

During 1991 and 1992, the Company was forced to devote substantial time and
effort to the Milken Litigation, which involved complaints of enormous
complexity and which sought billions of dollars of damages. A Stipulation
of Settlement dated as of March 9, 1992 (the "Stipulation") was approved by
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Among other
things, the Stipulation effected in large part a global settlement of the
Milken Litigation. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Company contributed
the amount of $1,000,000 in settlement of the claims against it. The
Company made this payment into an escrow fund in March 1992. According to
the Stipulation, ultimate consummation of the settlement was contingent
upon several conditions the satisfaction of which was contemplated to take
in excess of one year. For a period of approximately one and one-half
years, such conditions remained unsatisfied and the Company did not know
whether the actions against it might be revived. Effective September 29,
1993, the global settlement contemplated under the Stipulation became
effective and the Company was dismissed with prejudice from the Milken
Litigation on or about that date.

In view of the uncertainties posed by the Milken Litigation, it was
extremely difficult for the Company to commit its efforts or resources to
any potential business opportunities between September 1991 and September
1993. Following the effectiveness in September 1993 of the global
settlement of the Milken Litigation, the Board of Directors established an
acquisition committee to consider a suitable business venture or ventures
in which the Company could employ its liquid assets. The committee members
devoted a substantial amount of time in 1994 to the analysis and
negotiation of such potential investments, although the Company did not
consummate any business venture.

In December 1994, the Board of Directors scheduled an annual meeting of the
Company's stockholders for January 16, 1995. On approximately December 28,
1994, the Company mailed to its stockholders a notice of the annual meeting
and a proxy statement which solicited proxies with respect to six persons
nominated for election as directors by the Board of Directors. The proxy
statement advised stockholders that the Board of Directors had nominated
four current directors -- William J. Adams, Allan L. Chapman, Ira L.
Gottshall and Martin Oliner -- for reelection as directors. The proxy
statement also provided that two new nominees -- Peter A. Glicklich and
Richard M. Pachulski -- had been nominated for election by the Board of
Directors, and that two incumbent directors -- Peter M. Graham and Ronald
LaBow -- had not been nominated for reelection.

On or about January 9, 1995, a group called the Regency Shareholders
Committee (the "Committee") began distributing to the Company's
stockholders a proxy statement in which the Committee solicited proxies
with respect to the election of an opposing slate of six director nominees.
The Committee's proxy statement identified Messrs. Graham and LaBow as two
of the nominees. The other nominees were Lawrence Butler, Jack Howard,
Warren G. Lichtenstein and Steven Wolosky. The Committee's proxy statement
disclosed that the Committee members were Messrs. Butler, Howard, LaBow and
Lichtenstein, and that the costs of the Committee's proxy solicitation
efforts would be borne by Mr. LaBow, Richard Sandler and Steel Partners II,
L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership ("Steel Partners"). Among other
things, the Committee's proxy statement disclosed that the Committee's six
nominees, if elected, would attempt to liquidate the Company, in whole or
in part.

As a related action, on January 13, 1995 the Committee filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary consent statement pursuant
to which the Committee sought to solicit written consents from stockholders
for the purpose of removing the Company's directors and electing the
Committee's six nominees identified in the preceding paragraph.

On January 12, 1995, the Company filed a complaint for injunctive relief in
the Delaware federal district court against the members of the Committee.
Among other things, the complaint sought to enjoin the Committee from
soliciting and voting proxies in connection with the January 16 meeting
through the use of a proxy statement that the Company alleged was
misleading. The Company dismissed its complaint several days later in
light of the events described below.

On January 16, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors conducted a meeting
prior to the scheduled meeting of the stockholders. The 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. At its meeting, the Board of Directors also
postponed the January 16 annual meeting of stockholders and approved in
principle the liquidation and distribution to stockholders of the Company's
remaining assets.

During the period subsequent to January 16, 1995, the Company, the
Committee and the Company's largest stockholder, First Lincoln Holdings,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Evergreen Acceptance Corporation,
have discussed various proposals regarding the future of the Company. The
parties currently are negotiating the terms of a transaction pursuant to
which, among other things: (a) Evergreen Acceptance Corporation would
purchase the shares of the Company's common stock that are owned by the
Committee and its affiliates (including Steel Partners and Richard Sandler)
and by various other persons, including EJ Associates and RA Partnership;
(b) the sellers would agree not to attempt to gain control of the Company
in the future; (c) the Company would reimburse the Committee for up to
$150,000 of its costs incurred in connection with the proxy contest and
related matters; and (d) the Company would deliver to the sellers, the
other members of the Committee, First Lincoln Holdings, Inc., Evergreen
Acceptance Corporation and Martin Oliner (the Chairman of the Board of
First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and a director of the Company) a general
release of claims related to the proxy contest, and the Company would
receive a general release of such claims from certain of such persons.

The proposed sellers collectively own approximately 52% of the Company's
outstanding common stock, and each of the Committee, EJ Associates and RA
Partnership owns more than 10% of the Company's common stock. See "Item
12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."
Because First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance Corporation
jointly own approximately 39% of the Company's outstanding common stock,
the purchase by Evergreen Acceptance Corporation of the sellers' stock
would give First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance
Corporation ownership of approximately 91% of the Company's outstanding
common stock. It is not yet certain when, or if, this transaction will be
consummated.

As a result of the cash dividend that was paid on February 7, 1995, the
Company's total assets were reduced by almost 78%. The Company's Board of
Directors has not yet determined the future direction of the Company,
including whether or not all or part of the Company's remaining assets
should be liquidated and distributed to stockholders. The Board's decision
as to the future direction of the Company will depend in part upon the
resolution of the negotiations described above among the Committee, First
Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance Corporation.


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.

(a) Olshan v. Regency Equities Corp., No. 16/92 (Civ. Ct. N.Y. County).
--------------------------------

In an action filed on January 2, 1992 by Marvin L. Olshan, a former
President and director of the Company, Mr. Olshan sought $468,000 plus
interest from December 31, 1989 for additional compensation over and above
his salary, for services allegedly rendered during 1988 and 1989. Mr.
Olshan asserted two causes of action, one for breach of contract and the
other for implied contract/quantum meruit. In his complaint, Mr. Olshan
alleged that, in addition to the salary which he was paid, there was an
understanding and agreement between Mr. Olshan and certain members of the
Company's Board of Directors that he would be "fairly compensated" for
services performed during 1988 and 1989.

On December 8, 1994, the Company paid Mr. Olshan $10,000 in full settlement
of the litigation commenced by him.

(b) Regency Equities Corp. v. Reiss and Siegal, 93 Civ. 8096 (S.D.N.Y)
------------------------------------------
(CSH).

Reference is made to "Item 1. Business" for a description of the Company's
lawsuit against Reiss and Siegal and the settlement of the Company's
judgment against them.

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, 1995.


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.

1995 High Low
---- ---- ---
1st quarter $0.030 $0.015
2nd quarter 0.025 0.015
3rd quarter 0.027 0.015
4th quarter 0.027 0.019

1994 High Low
---- ---- ---
1st quarter $0.156 $0.094
2nd quarter 0.125 0.125
3rd quarter 0.125 0.125
4th quarter 0.156 0.156


(b) Holders.

The approximate number of record holders of the Company's common stock on
February 1, 1996 was 1,685.

(c) Dividends.

The Company paid no dividends during 1993 or 1994. The Company has not
historically paid regular dividends on its common stock and does not
presently intend to do so in the future.

On February 7, 1995, the Company paid an extraordinary cash dividend of
$.15 per share to stockholders of record as of January 30, 1995. The
Company did not pay any other dividends during 1995.

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 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, 1995 Compared with Year Ended December
31, 1994.

The Company recorded income (i) before income taxes (benefit) and (ii) the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting of $170,849 in 1995 compared to
$266,555 in 1994. The decrease resulted principally from (i) a decrease in
interest income of $349,624 caused by the decrease in cash earning interest
attributable to the $13,092,549 dividend (offset in part by an increase in
interest rates of approximately 1.0%); (ii) an increase in administrative
expenses of $70,127 primarily due to increases in stockholders' meeting
costs and directors' fees attributable to a proxy contest between the
Company and the Regency Shareholders Committee; and (iii) an increase in
professional fees of $189,833 primarily attributable to legal fees incurred
in connection with the proxy contest.

The decline in operating results was partially offset by a gain of
$500,000, representing the recovery of amounts previously reserved, on the
settlement of amounts due to the Company in connection with a mortgage note
and related interest receivable. See "Item 1. Business."

The Company's net income of $292,281 in 1995 compared to its net loss of
$297,980 in 1994 resulted primarily from an income tax benefit of $121,432
in 1995 as compared with income tax expense of $564,535 in 1994. The
income tax benefit for 1995 results from the recognition for income tax
purposes of bad debt expense in connection with the settlement of amounts
owing to the Company on a mortgage note and related interest receivable and
the related deferred tax asset of the loss carryforward. The Company has
recognized deferred tax assets of $246,380 in 1995 as compared to $125,612
in 1994. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax
assets to a level which, more likely than not, will be realized. The net
deferred tax assets reflects management's estimate of the amount which will
be realized from future profitability with reasonable certainty. The
amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be
reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are reduced. The net change in the total valuation
allowance for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were ($630,603)
and ($512,963), respectively. The decrease in 1995 results primarily from
the expiration of loss carryforwards. The decrease in 1994 was due to the
expiration of loss carryforwards and the anticipated reduction in estimated
future taxable income resulting from the Company's payment in February 1995
of a $13,092,549 cash dividend.



(ii) Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared with Year Ended December
31, 1993.

The Company recorded income before (i) income taxes (benefit) and (ii) the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting, of $266,555 in 1994 compared
to a loss of $259,598 in 1993. The principal reason for the increase in
operating results was that the Company provided in 1993 for a reserve of
$187,937 against accrued interest on its $850,000 promissory note and for a
reserve of $450,000 against the principal balance of the note. See "Note C
to the Company's Financial Statements."

This increase in income was offset in part by an increase in professional
fees of $95,129 attributable to (i) expenses incurred in connection with
the litigation involving the $850,000 promissory note and the litigation
involving Marvin Olshan, as described above in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings,"
and (ii) fees incurred in the performance of a due diligence examination in
connection with a proposed business acquisition by the Company. The
proposed acquisition subsequently was abandoned, in part because of the
decrease in available cash resulting from the Company's February 7, 1995
dividend to its stockholders.

The Company's net income of $276,527 in 1993 compared to its net loss of
$297,980 in 1994 resulted primarily from (i) a provision for income taxes
in 1994 of $564,535 and (ii) an income benefit of $446,982 in 1993.
Included in the provision for income taxes for 1994 is a decrease in the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $512,963. This decrease was
attributable to the expiration of loss carryforwards and to the Company's
February 7, 1995 dividend to its stockholders, which changed the amount of
future income expected to be realized by the Company.

(b) Liquidity, Capital Resources and Future Operations.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had cash in the amount of $2,975,808
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 direction of the Company is uncertain, although the Company's Board of
Directors is in the process of addressing this issue. See "Item 1.
Business." 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 Standard.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
of" (SFAS No. 121), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. The new standard establishes guidelines regarding
when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include plant and
equipment, and certain identifiable intangible assets should be recognized
and how impairment losses should be measured. The Company does not expect
adoption to have a material effect on its financial position or 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.

Commissioner in April 1991.

Messrs. Adams, Chapman, Gottshall and Oliner have served as executive
officers and/or directors of First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and/or one or
more of its subsidiaries. Messrs. Adams, Chapman and Gottshall were
appointed as directors of the Company in 1992 following a request made to
the Company by First Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance
Corporation that such persons be appointed as directors, and Mr. Oliner was
appointed as a director in 1993 following a similar request made by First
Lincoln Holdings, Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance Corporation. The Company's

As described above in "Item 1. Business," the Regency Shareholders
Committee (the "Committee") engaged in a proxy contest with the
Company in connection with the January 16, 1995 annual meeting of
stockholders. The following information is based upon a Schedule
13D filed by the individuals and entities described below with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or about January 5, 1995, as
amended by filings made on or about January 10, 13 and 17, 1995,
respectively:

The Committee (through its members), Richard Sandler (individually
and as trustee) and Robert Frome (individually and through his
trust) beneficially own an aggregate of 9,666,500 shares of the
Company's common stock, representing approximately 11.1% of the
Company's outstanding common stock. Prior to January 1, 1995, such
group owned less than 10% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
The members of the Committee, which is not a formal legal entity,
are Lawrence Butler, Jack Howard, Ronald LaBow and Warren G.
Lichtenstein. Although the Schedule 13D, as amended, contains
inconsistent statements, it appears that Messrs. Butler and
Lichtenstein and Steel Partners II, L.P. ("Steel Partners"), a
partnership with which they are affiliated, share voting and
investment power with respect to 6,519,625 shares of the Company's
common stock. Mr. LaBow is not listed as having voting or
investment power with respect to any shares of the Company's common
stock and Mr. Howard, the fourth Committee member, is listed as
having sole voting and investment power with respect to 50,000
shares of the Company's common stock.

As described above in "Item 1. Business," Mr. Sandler agreed to bear

Sandler is listed in the Schedule 13D, as amended, as having
beneficial ownership of 2,996,875 shares of the Company's common
stock; with respect to such shares, Mr. Sandler has sole voting and
investment power over 346,875 shares; the M&L 1981 Trust, of which
Mr. Sandler is trustee, has sole voting and investment power over
1,765,000 shares; and the L&S 1981 Trust, of which Mr. Sandler is
also the trustee, has sole voting and investment power over 885,000
shares. The Schedule 13D, as amended, also states that Robert
Frome, who agreed to participate in the Committee's effort to remove
the Company's directors through written consents from stockholders,
has beneficial ownership of 100,000 shares of the Company's common
stock; with respect to such shares, Mr. Frome has sole voting and
investment power over 85,000 shares, and Mr. Frome's pension and
profit-sharing trust has sole voting and investment power over
15,000 shares.

The business address of the Committee, Steel Partners and Messrs.
Butler and Lichtenstein is 750 Lexington Avenue, 27th Floor, New
York, New York 10022. The business address of Mr. Howard is 2927
Montecito Avenue, Santa Rosa, California 95404. The business
address of Mr. LaBow is 110 East 59th Street, New York, New York
10019. The business address of Mr. Sandler and his trusts is 844
Moraga Drive, Los Angeles, California 90049. The business address
of Mr. Frome is 505 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022.


The Company believes that the partners of this partnership are
Michael Milken and a member of his immediate family.


The Company believes that the partners of this partnership are
Lowell Milken and a member of his immediate family. Lowell Milken
and Michael Milken are brothers.


Mr. LaBow is not the record owner of any shares of the Company's
common stock. Mr. LaBow is a member of the Committee. Information
presented for Mr. LaBow does not include any shares of the Company's
common stock that are owned by the Committee or any of its members,
and Mr. LaBow disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.


Information presented for Mr. Oliner does not include any shares of
the Company's common stock that are owned by First Lincoln Holdings,
Inc. or its wholly owned subsidiary, Evergreen Acceptance
Corporation. Mr. Oliner serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President of First Lincoln Holdings, Inc.
Mr. Oliner disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the
Company's common stock that are owned by First Lincoln Holdings,
Inc. and Evergreen Acceptance Corporation.


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and regulations
adopted thereunder require the Company's directors and officers and persons
who own more than ten percent of the outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company's Common Stock
and other equity securities. Based solely upon (i) the Company's review of
the Forms 3, 4 and 5 that were furnished by the Reporting Persons to the
Company pursuant to Section 16(a) and applicable regulations during and
with respect to the Company's most recent fiscal year and (ii) written
representations received by the Company from its directors and officers,
the Company believes that all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements
were complied with on a timely basis by the Reporting Persons during and
with respect to the Company's most recent fiscal year.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Morris Engel, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, is a
partner in the accounting firm of Engel & Kalvin, LLP. The Company paid
fees of $27,946 to Engel & Kalvin in 1995 in consideration for accounting
and tax services rendered by that firm.

Reference is made to "Item 1. Business" for a description of a proposed
transaction between the Company and several stockholders who each own more
than ten percent of the Company's outstanding common stock.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Regency Equities Corp. as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994 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, 1995. 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

flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in

INCOME TAXES: The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective January
1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method,
deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future
years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. In addition, the tax
benefits from the future utilization of available "Net Operating Loss
Carryovers" (computed at current enacted statutory tax rates) are treated
as an asset. A valuation allowance is required for all or a portion of
such asset based on the Company's determination of the amount of
realization that is more likely than not to occur. Under SFAS No. 109, the
effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the
income statement in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

MORTGAGE AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE: Effective December 31, 1993, the Company
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." In accordance with SFAS 114, the Company had
provided an allowance for credit losses based upon the estimated fair value
of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. This allowance
was reversed in 1995 (See Note C).

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.

NOTE B - RENTAL PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION

Rental property consists of a shopping center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Two tenants lease all of the space in the shopping center. The leases
expire on July 10, 1997 and August 31, 1999. The future minimum rentals,
excluding amounts contingent upon tenant sales levels, from these leases
are as follows:

1996 $230,000
1997 225,000
1998 204,000
1999 136,000

NOTE C - MORTGAGE RECEIVABLE

On February 12, 1990, the Company entered into a second mortgage agreement
on a commercial building in New York state. The $850,000 mortgage earned
interest at a rate of 13% per annum and was due on March 1, 1994. Interest
originally was payable annually at the rate of 8.5% per annum with the
balance of the interest and principal due upon the maturity of the loan.

REGENCY EQUITIES CORP.

December 31, 1995

NOTE C - MORTGAGE RECEIVABLE (continued)

The note was amended effective as of June 1, 1992 to provide that (a)
interest was currently payable at an annual rate of 3%, (b) the additional
5.5% of annual interest to be deferred was to bear interest at 6% per annum
compounded monthly, and, (c) the balance of the interest was due with the
principal upon the maturity of the loan.

During 1993, the borrower ceased making interest payments on the mortgage
and the Company (a) ceased accruing interest on the mortgage, and (b)
commenced an action for collection against the borrower and the guarantor
of the mortgage. At December 31, 1994
the Company had provided a reserve of $187,937 against accrued interest and
a reserve of $450,000 against the principal balance. The reserves
totalling $637,937 were determined based upon management's estimate of the
net realizable value of the underlying property.

In November 1994, the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York awarded a summary judgment against the borrower in the
amount of $1,341,093, which included unpaid principal and accrued interest
through October 28, 1994. In July 1995, the Court awarded a summary
judgment against Siegal in the amount of $1,564,753. The Company
vigorously pursued collection of the judgement and on October 3, 1995,
entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Company received $900,000
in cash in full settlement of all amounts outstanding. The settlement
resulted in a gain of $500,000 representing the recovery of amounts
previously reserved.

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES (BENEFIT)

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).
SFAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. If it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance
is recognized. In accordance with SFAS 109, the cumulative effect of

adoption on prior years' results of operations totalling $446,982, has been
shown in the Statement of Income for 1993, the year of change.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of:

1995 1994 1993
-------- -------- --------
Federal:
Current ($157,115) $ 90,641 $ 128,939
Deferred 213,173 ( 7,006) (216,748)

Deferred 29,506 ( 158) ( 30,842)

of deferred tax assets ( 183,463) 460,330
-------- -------- ---------

Total ($121,432) $564,535 ($ 89,143)
======== ======== ========

The current benefit for 1995 results primarily from the deduction for income
tax purposes of a bad debt provision provided for in 1993. The deferred
benefit for 1993 results primarily from a provision for bad debt and
litigation settlement, respectively, deducted for financial reporting
purposes but not for income tax purposes.

The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes and the amount computed
by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to earnings (loss) before
income taxes is as follows:
1995 1994 1993
------ ------ ------
Federal tax (benefit) at statutory rate 34.0% 34.0% (34.0%)
State income tax (benefit), net of
federal income tax benefit 2.3 5.1 ( .3)

========== ==========

A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets to a
level which, more likely than not, will be realized. The net deferred assets
reflects management's estimate of the amount which will be realized from
future profitability with reasonable certainty. The amount of the deferred
tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term
if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are
reduced. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 1993, the year in which
SFAS 109 was adopted, was $7,726,325. The net change in the total valuation
allowance for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were ($630,603) and
($512,963), respectively. The decrease in 1995 results primarily from the
expiration of loss carryforwards. The decrease in 1994 was due to the
expiration of loss carryforwards and the anticipated reduction in estimated
future taxable income resulting from the Company's payment in February 1995
of a $13,092,549 cash dividend.
