The corporate headquarters of Regency Equities Corp. (the “Company”) are located at 11845 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 900, Los Angeles, California 90064.

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 2002 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.

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.

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.

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 Company conducts limited business operations, and its future is uncertain. See “Item 1. Business” for a discussion of the Company’s business and future direction. 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.

(a)    Results of Operations.

     (i)  Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2001.

The Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $181,041 in 2002 compared to a loss of $150,157 in 2001. The increase in loss resulted principally from (i) a decrease in interest income of $71,080, (ii) an increase in stock transfer agent fees of $6,183, (iii) an increase in rental property utilities of $7,190, (iv) an increase in rental property management fees of $2,250 and (v) an increase in rental property insurance of $2,303. The decrease in operating results was partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $58,317.

     (ii)  Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2000.

The Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $150,157 in 2001 compared to a loss before income taxes of $76,362 in 2000. The increase in loss resulted principally from (i) a decrease in interest income of $31,733, (ii) an increase in accounting fees of $8,212 due to a change in auditing firms and Securities and Exchange Commission required reviews of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and (iii)

Table of Contents

an increase in legal fees of $42,246 due to two proposed mergers which were terminated during the year. The increase in operating loss was offset in part by a decrease of $7,003 in rental operating expenses

(b)  Liquidity, Capital Resources and Future Operations.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had cash in the amount of $2,736,423 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.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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 15 herein.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

On February 12, 2001, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding a change in accountants. On February 20, 2001, the Company filed with the Commission an amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of setting forth additional information regarding its change in accountants.

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, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REGENCY EQUITIES CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2002 is deposited with two major U.S. banks. At December 31, 2002 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. In determining if an impairment exists, management estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be received, including the eventual disposition of the asset, less the related estimated cash out-flows expected to be incurred. If an impairment is indicated based upon the above, a determination is made of the asset's estimated fair value based upon recent appraisals. If the estimated fair value is less than the asset's net book value, an impairment is recognized.

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.

REGENCY EQUITIES CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements 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 (loss) 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.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 38, “Accounting for Pre-Acquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises.” All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method for those business combinations is prohibited. This statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

REGENCY EQUITIES CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early application is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001, provided that the first interim financial statements have not been issued previously. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement replaces SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” for the disposal of a segment of a business, and amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies, and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Accounting Principles Board No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4 and is no longer necessary as SFAS No. 4 has been rescinded. SFAS No. 44 has been rescinded as it is no longer necessary. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-lease transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances, they may change accounting practices. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)

In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147 “Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions,” SFAS No. 147 removes the requirement in SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 thereto, to recognize and amortize any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset. This statement requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In addition, this statement amends SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” to include certain financial institution-related intangible assets. This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact SFAS No. 148 will have on its financial statements.

NOTE B — RENTAL ACTIVITY

The Company, as lessor, leases space in a shopping center (the Center) located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In July 1997, the lease for the tenant occupying 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.

The remaining approximately 87.5% of the Center is vacant.

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 net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 were $76,466, $63,795 and $153,027, respectively. The increases in 2002 and 2001 result primarily from management’s assessment of the value of the Company’s loss carryforward incurred in those years.
