BUSINESS Except for historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future events and our plans and expectations. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below under "Factors That May Affect Future Results," and "Forward looking Statements", as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. - ---------------------------------- Regency Affiliates, Inc., formerly TransContinental Energy Corporation, was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1980 to be the successor to Transcontinental Oil Corporation, which existed since 1947. After a restructuring in 1992, the Company, on July 7, 1993, acquired an 80% interest in National Resource Development Corporation ("NRDC") (the "NRDC Transaction") by the issuance of 2,975,000 shares of the Company's $0.40 P.V. Common Stock, 208,850 shares of the Company's cumulative $100 Series C Preferred Stock and 20% of the outstanding shares of Transcontinental Drilling Company ("Drilling"), a subsidiary of the Company to the Statesman Group, Inc. ("Statesman"), an international business corporation organized under the laws of the Bahamas (see Item 12). NRDC's principal asset consists of previously quarried and stockpiled rock (Aggregate) inventory located at a mine site in Michigan. The Aggregate inventory was pledged to secure repayment of certain Zero Coupon Bonds which have been issued by NRDC having a face value at maturity of $542,000 on January 1, 2002. These Bonds were retired in 1999 through the issuance of common stock of the Company. As part of the NRDC Transaction, we acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding stock of NRDC. The remainder (20%) is owned by Statesman. On November 18, 1994, we acquired a limited partnership interest in Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") for an equity investment of $350,000. The Partnership owns an office building complex in Woodlawn, Maryland, which is leased to the United States Social Security Administration. On March 17, 1997, Regency, through Rustic Crafts International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Rustic Crafts, Co., Inc., a manufacturer of wood and cast marble decorative electric fireplaces and related accessories. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of cash of $1,100,000, assumption of certain liabilities, and 100,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock. On April 22, 1999, we acquired 513,915 shares of the common stock of Glas-Aire Industries Group, Ltd. ("Glas-Aire") in exchange for a promissory note of $650,000 due January 1, 2000, at an interest rate of 7.5% per annum, which note was guaranteed by Mr. William Ponsoldt, Sr., President of Regency, and -3- $1,213,000 in cash. Glas-Aire is a reporting company, and its shares are listed on the Nasdaq small cap market under the symbol "GLAR" and on the Pacific Exchange "GLA". The cash was obtained from an affiliate of Statesman through the issuance of an unsecured demand note at the interest rate of 7.5% per annum. We also purchased 3,000 shares of the common stock of Glas-Aire on the open market. On August 2, 1999, we acquired 41,600 shares of the common stock of Glas-Aire on the open market for $119,619. The funds were provided by an affiliate of Statesman on an unsecured basis. On August 14, 1999, we sold 2,852,375 shares of our common stock to Glas-Aire for cash of $1,967,960 and 86,000 shares of Glas-Aire common stock for total consideration of $2,281,900. On September 23, 1999, we closed a common stock exchange agreement with certain shareholders of Glas-Aire. Under the agreement, Regency, in a private transaction, issued 1,188,000 shares of its restricted common stock to such shareholders in exchange for 288,000 Glas-Aire common shares held by the shareholders. On October 1, 2001, we announced that we had completed a transaction for the disposing of our interest in Glas-Aire. Pursuant to an agreement entered into on September 17, 2001 and amended on October 1, 2001, we exchanged 1,215,105 shares of common stock of Glas-Aire, representing approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Glas-Aire, for $2,500,000 plus 4,040,375 shares of our common stock, or approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of Regency. As a result of the transaction, neither Regency nor Glas-Aire owns any stock of the other. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPERATIONS. - ----------- Reference is made to the Regency's financial statements at page F-1 for this information. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. - ------------------------------------ NATIONAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION NRDC had as its principal asset approximately 70 million short tons of previously quarried and stockpiled rock ("Aggregate") located at the site of the Groveland Mine in Dickinson County, Michigan. Aggregate is primarily sold for railroad ballast, road construction, construction along shorelines and decorative uses. The market for Aggregate stone is highly competitive and, as shipping costs are high, the majority of sales, if any, are anticipated to be made locally. Other companies that produce rock and Aggregate products are located in the same region as the Groveland Mine. There are competitors have greater financial and personnel resources. As a consequence, there can be no assurance that acting alone, NRDC will be able to consummate sales of material amounts of its Aggregate. In December 2001, the aggregate inventory was sold to Iron Mountain Resources, Inc., a 75% owned subsidiary of the company. The purchase price was $18,200,000 and is payable, with interest of 2.46%, in ninety-six equal payments of -4- principal and interest commencing December 2003. The intercompany gain on this transaction has been eliminated in the consolidation process resulting in the aggregate inventory being carried at its historical cost Our Aggregate is commingled with other aggregate not owned by NRDC and is rock that was separated from iron ore during previous mining operations. The ownership of the Aggregate is subject to a Royalty Agreement between North American Demolition Company (International Aggregate Corporation's predecessor in title) and M.A. Hanna Company dated December 22, 1989, as amended, which requires the payment of certain royalties to M.A. Hanna Company upon sales of Aggregate. SECURITY LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP On November 18, 1994, we acquired a limited partnership interest in Security Land And Development Company Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") for an equity investment of $350,000. We have no obligation to make any further capital contribution to the Partnership. The Partnership owns the 34.3-acre Security West complex at 1500 Woodlawn Drive, Woodlawn, MD consisting of a two-story office building and a connected six-story office tower occupied by the United States Social Security Administration Office of Disability and International Operations under a nine-year lease expiring October 31, 2003 (the "Lease"). The buildings have a net rentable area of approximately 717,000 square feet. The construction of the Security West Buildings was completed in 1972 and the Social Security Administration has occupied the building since 1972 under prior leases between the U.S. Government and the Partnership. During 1994, the Partnership completed the placement of a $56,450,000 non-recourse project note, due November 15, 2003. The placement of the project note was undertaken by the issuance of 7.90% certificates of participation and was underwritten by Dillon Read & Co., Inc. The net proceeds received from the sale of the certificates were used to refinance existing debt of the Partnership related to the project, to finance certain alterations to the project by the Partnership, to fund certain reserves and to pay costs of the project note issue. The project note is a non-recourse obligation of the Partnership and is payable solely from the Lease payments from the U.S. Government. Such rental payments under the Lease are not subject to annual appropriation by the United States Congress and accordingly, the obligations to make such payments are unconditional general obligations of the Government backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The payments under the Lease consist of base rent, maintenance rent, additional base rent, additional maintenance rent and the government tax reimbursement amount. The base rent, maintenance rent and additional base rent are fixed amounts and are not subject to adjustment. The base rent and the additional base rent together constitute the finance rent, which will be utilized to pay principal and interest on the project note, certain real estate taxes and costs of insurance and other reserves. The terms of the Security Land And Development Company Limited Partnership Agreement (as amended) and the project note (which note will be fully amortized over the term of the lease) call for us to be allocated 95% of the profits and losses of the Partnership until October 31, 2003, and 50% thereafter. The investment in Security Land And Development Company Limited Partnership Agreement is estimated to provide us with management fees of approximately -5- $100,000 per annum until 2003. In the year ending December 31, 2001, the income from our equity investment in the Partnership was $5,418,197. These funds, however, are presently committed for the amortization of the outstanding principal balance on Security Land And Development Company Limited Partnership Agreement real estate mortgage and, while our investment has increased to $2,984,078 the partnership does not provide cash flow to us in excess of the $100,000 annual management fee. The partnership agreement provides for the distribution of "Sale or Refinancing Proceeds" in accordance with the partner's positive tax capital account balances. At December 31, 2001, we were the only partner with a positive tax capital account balance. On November 30, 2000, we invested $10,000 for a 5% Limited Partnership Interest in 1500 Woodlawn Limited Partnership, the General Partner of Security. In 2001, we earned $188,268 from this investment. RUSTIC CRAFTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. Rustic Crafts International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Regency, is a manufacturer of decorative wood and cast marble fireplaces, mantels, shelves, fireplace accessories and other home furnishings. Rustic Crafts employed 26 people at December 31, 2001. In 2001 and 2000 Rustic Crafts generated net sales of approximately $2,407,722 and $3,313,827 respectively. Rustic Crafts had Net (Loss) Income before Management Fees of $(510,064) and $150,571 respectively, over the same period. As of December 31, 2001, Rustic Crafts had approximately $264,000 of open orders compared to approximately $225,000 in 2000. Although orders are generally subject to termination, we have historically experienced minimal cancellation of orders. Rustic Crafts purchases the raw materials used in its manufacturing process from several suppliers. We believe that there is minimal risk from any termination of suppliers and that there are several suppliers who are capable of supplying similar quality products at competitive prices. Rustic Crafts has a number of competitors for its products, and management considers the business to be competitive. GLAS-AIRE INDUSTRIES GROUP, LTD. Glas-Aire Industries Group, LTD. (Glas-Aire), a publicly traded Company, was a subsidiary of Regency. Glas-Aire designs, develops, manufactures and sells sunroof deflectors, hood protectors and rear air deflectors for cars, light trucks and vans. It uses plastics and thermoforming technology to produce these products. Glas-Aire's products are used in the diverse and growing automotive components market, comprised of after-market accessories, dealer installed accessories, car care products and other products purchased by consumers for the purpose of improving their vehicles (versus those purchased for routine maintenance). Glas-Aire participates in the OEM segment of the appearance accessory market, providing products to the automotive manufacturers that then distribute the products to consumers through their dealer networks. Glas-Aire employs approximately 208 persons. -6- On October 1, 2001, we announced that we had completed a transaction for the disposing of our interest in Glas-Aire. Pursuant to an agreement entered into on September 17, 2001 and amended on October 1, 2001, we exchanged 1,215,105 shares of common stock of Glas-Aire, representing approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Glas-Aire, for $2,500,000 plus 4,040,375 shares of our common stock, or approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of Regency. As a result of the transaction, neither Regency nor Glas-Aire owns any stock of the other at December 31, 2001 Glas-Aire generated net sales of $8,378,202 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2001. Income before income from equity investment and income tax expense was $449,040 over the same period. Glas-Aire had been included in Regency's consolidated financial statements effective September 23, 1999 (the date that we acquired 51.3% control of Glas-Aire) through September 30, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, Regency and its subsidiaries employed approximately 28 people. REGTRANSCO, INC. RegTransco, Inc. (RTI) has two classes of outstanding common stock, Class A and Class B. There are 20,000 shares of Class common stocks outstanding, all of which are owned by Drilling (an 80% owned subsidiary of Regency Affiliates, Inc.). Five thousand (5,000) shares of Class B common stock were issued to the Original Investors who financed the our Chapter XI filing in 1986 and 1987 and represented 20% of the voting power of RTI's outstanding common stock. As part of the 1992 Restructuring, the holders of the Class B stock returned their 20% interest as a group to RTI. RTI's Class A and Class B common stock are equal to each other in all respects except dividend preference. Holders of shares of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share in the election of directors. This entity has no current operations. TRANSCONTINENTAL DRILLING COMPANY ("DRILLING") As part of the NRDC Transaction, Drilling issued sufficient shares to transfer 20% of the issued and outstanding stock of Drilling to Statesman. We own the remaining 80%. This entity has no current operations. SPEED.COM, INC. Speed.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regency Affiliates, Inc. Previously this entity was involved in the purchase of Glas Aire. This entity has no current operations. IRON MOUNTAIN RESOURCES, INC. In December 2001, the aggregate inventory was sold to Iron Mountain Resources, Inc., a 75% owned subsidiary of the company. The purchase price was $18,200,000 and is payable, with interest of 2.46%, in ninety-six equal payments of principal and interest commencing December 2003. The intercompany gain on this -7- transaction has been eliminated in the consolidation process resulting in the aggregate inventory being carried at its historical cost. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Partnership owns the Security West Building at 1500 Woodlawn Drive, Woodlawn, MD. In March 1998, Rustic Craft purchased a 117,000 square foot building located at 40 Poplar Street in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The building was renovated and occupied in early 1999. Approximately 14,000 square feet in this building is leased to another tenant. The manufacturing operation uses approximately 75,000 square feet of the building. This facility should satisfy Rustic Crafts needs for the foreseeable future. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On February 7, 2002 a complaint naming Regency Affiliates, Inc. as Defendant was filed in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, case number 1012. The Plaintiffs are Larry J. Horbach, individually and L.J. Horbach & Associates and they are demanding payment on a Regency Affiliates loan they purchased from Mid City Bank. The plaintiffs are requesting payment of $82,512.57 plus accrued interest, costs and attorney fees. We are vigorously defending this litigation and had previously commenced litigation regarding the same subject in December 2001. On December 14, 2001 we initiated a proceeding in The Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Martin County, Florida, case number 01-1087-CA against Larry J. Horbach, individually and L.J. Horbach & Associates. Larry Horbach was a former interim CFO and Board member. We claim that Larry Horbach, without appropriate authority, borrowed $100,050 from Mid City Bank in the name of Regency. We further claim that Horbach converted all or part of the proceeds from the loan for his benefit. On September 13, 2001, Glas Aire Industries LTD., Multicorp Holdings Inc., Glas Aire Industries Group Ltd, Craig Grossman, Todd Garrett, Speed.Com, Inc., Regency Affiliates, Inc., William Ponsoldt, and Marc Baldinger were listed as defendants in a proceeding in the Supreme Court of British Columbia with Alex Y. W. Ding as plaintiff. The case number is S015104. Mr. Ding, the former president of Glas-Aire, has asserted that the October 2001 Regency-Glas-Aire transaction is in breach of bank agreements, securities law and fiduciary duties owed to Glas-Aire and its stockholders. While the company has been served, plaintiff has not proceeded on this action and has not filed a statement of claim on a timely basis. Should plaintiff continue with the action, the defendants, including Regency, would vigorously defend this litigation ITEM 4.

ISSUANCE OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES. Effective June 3, 1997, we issued 466,667 shares of Common Stock at a value of $233,333 and options to purchase an additional 6.1 million shares of Common Stock to Statesman Group, Inc. On October 15, 2001, Statesman exercised the option in full pursuant to an agreement that (1) provided for a purchase price at $.40 per share (par value) rather than the formula price in the option, which would have yielded approximately 25% less and (2) provided for collateral for the $2.44 million 5 year note issued by Statesman to Regency (in addition to the shares purchased) in the form of the 20% stock interest owned by Statesman in National Resource Development Corporation, our 80% owned subsidiary. -10- We consider these securities to have been offered and sold in a transaction not involving a public offering and, therefore, to be exempt from Registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. - ---------------------------- CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE REGARDING OUR FINANCIAL POSITION, BUSINESS STRATEGY, ACQUISITION STRATEGY AND OTHER PLANS AND OBJECTIVES FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS AND ANY OTHER STATEMENTS THAT ARE NOT HISTORICAL FACTS CONSTITUTE "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" EXPECTATIONS AND BELIEFS CONCERNING FUTURE EVENTS IMPACTING US AND ARE SUBJECT TO UNCERTAINTIES AND FACTORS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE -12- SPECIFIED BELOW) WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AND, IN MANY INSTANCES, ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. AS A RESULT, OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE RESULTS CONTEMPLATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: (i) WE CURRENTLY DO NOT GENERATE POSITIVE CASH FLOW AS OUR CURRENT ACTIVITIES DO NOT, IN AND OF THEMSELVES, GENERATE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW TO COVER OUR CORPORATE OPERATING EXPENSES AND THUS WE MUST RELY ON OUR CASH RESERVES TO FUND THESE EXPENSES. OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE IN EXISTENCE IS PARTLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO ATTAIN SATISFACTORY LEVELS OF OPERATING CASH FLOWS. (ii) WE CURRENTLY LACK THE NECESSARY INFRA STRUCTURE AT THE SITE OF THE GROVELAND MINE IN ORDER TO PERMIT US TO MAKE MORE THAN CASUAL SALES OF THE AGGREGATE. (iii) AN UNSECURED DEFAULT IN THE LEASE OR SUDDEN CATASTROPHE TO THE SECURITY WEST BUILDING FROM UNINSURED ACTS OF GOD OR WAR COULD HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE IMPACT UPON OUR INVESTMENT IN SECURITY LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND THEREFORE ITS FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (IV) THE FAILURE OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO RENEW ITS LEASE OF THE SECURITY WEST BUILDINGS UPON ITS EXPIRATION ON OCTOBER 31, 2003 COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT UPON OUR INVESTMENT IN SECURITY LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP. (V) WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT TAX LOSS AND CREDIT CARRYFORWARDS AND NO ASSURANCE CAN BE PROVIDED THAT THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO LIMIT OR DISALLOW ALTOGETHER OUR USE, RETROACTIVELY AND/OR PROSPECTIVELY, OF SUCH CARRYFORWARDS, DUE TO OWNERSHIP CHANGES OR ANY OTHER REASON. THE DISALLOWANCE OF THE UTILIZATION OF OUR NET OPERATING LOSS WOULD SEVERELY IMPACT OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF TAXABLE INCOME (GENERATED BY OUR INVESTMENT IN SECURITY) THAT HAS IN THE PAST BEEN, AND IS EXPECTED IN THE FUTURE TO BE, OFFSET BY THE OUR NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS. GENERAL We are the parent of several subsidiary business operations. We are committed to develop and/or monetize these business operations for the benefit of our shareholders and continue to commit both financial and personnel resources to an active merger and acquisition program in order to enhance common shareholders' values. Our Shareholders' Equity at December 31, 2001 was $19,878,174 as compared to $16,076,052 on December 31, 2000, an increase of 19.13%. -13- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The investment in Security is estimated to provide us with management fees of approximately $100,000 per annum until 2003. In the years ended December 31, 2001, December 31, 2000, December 31, 1999, our income from the equity investment in the Partnership was $5,418,197, $4,712,615, and $4,261,212, respectively. These funds, however, are presently committed for the amortization of the outstanding principal balance on Security's real estate mortgage and, while our equity investment has increased to $29,984,078, the partnership does not provide liquidity to us in excess of the $100,000 annual management fee. The partnership agreement provides for the distribution of "Sale or Refinancing Proceeds" in accordance with the partner's positive tax capital account balances. At December 31, 2001, we were the only partner with a positive tax capital account balance. We have been previously successful in obtaining financing with respect to this partnership interest to fund our acquisition program and cash flow deficits. Following the termination of the 1999 NRDC Plan of Merger with Cotton Valley Resources Corporation, we installed limited Aggregate crushing and marketing operations at the Groveland Mine in an informal joint venture with another company. Pending the outcome of current discussions regarding the possible sale of the our interest, we also continue to explore the possibility of establishing a permanent infrastructure to commercialize the inventory of previously quarried and stockpiled Aggregate at the Groveland Mine. In December 2001, the aggregate inventory was sold to Iron Mountain Resources, Inc., a 75% owned subsidiary of the company. The purchase price was $18,200,000 and is payable, with interest of 2.46%, in ninety-six equal payments of principal and interest commencing December 2003. The intercompany gain on this transaction has been eliminated in the consolidation process resulting in the aggregate inventory being carried at it's historical cost. We sold 2,852,375 shares of our common stock to Glas-Aire for cash of $1,967,960 and 86,000 shares of Glas-Aire common stock. The proceeds were used to repay the funding provided by an affiliate of Statesman and other general corporate requirements. We continue to explore opportunities to acquire companies with operations that will provide additional liquidity and cash flow. Our ability to continue in existence is partly dependent upon our ability to attain satisfactory levels of operating cash flows and our ability to continue borrowing. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2001 COMPARED TO 2000 Net sales decreased $3,456,848 compared to 2000, a 24% decrease. Net sales included $8,378,202 of Glas-Aire sales through September 30, 2001, when the investment in Glas Aire was disposed. Sales of household accessories decreased by $903,028 due to general economic conditions, the effects of September 11, 2001, and a reduction in the purchases of a large retail customer. Rustic Crafts continues to emphasize higher margin sales in 2001, has begun diversifying its product line, and has reduced its reliance on its single large customer, who required discounted prices. -14- Gross margins decreased $1,273,429 in 2001 over 2000, which is primarily attributable to the disposition of Glas-Aire and its inclusion in the company's financial statements through only September 30, 2001. Gross margins of home accessories decreased $437,441 in 2001 reflecting the softer economic conditions, and a reduced reliance on its single largest customer. Selling and administrative expenses were reduced by $18,467 or 3.4% in 2001 compared to 2000. Increases in professional fees were offset by similar reductions attributable closing the Omaha office and removal of Glas-Aire activities from September 30, 2001. Expenses increased at Rustic Crafts by $57,132 as a result of an increase in spending for Research and Development to diversify into other product lines and higher costs of selling and marketing. Income from equity investment in partnership increased $705,582 over 2000 due to the reduction of interest expenses on the lower loan principal balance of the partnership. Interest expense increased by $94,197 in 2001 over 2000 as a result of higher loan balances at Rustic Crafts and of Regency. Income tax expense decreased $58,082 due to lower income tax expense for Glas-Aire. Regency cannot use its net operating loss to offset the earnings of Glas Aire. Minority interest in the Statement of Operations decreased $118,045 due primarily to the elimination of the results of operations of Glas-Aire. Net income increased $1,518,428 or 70.5% in 2001 over 2000. The increase was due to the recognition of a gain in 2001 resulting from the sale of Glas-Aire and increased partnership earnings reduced by losses at Rustic Craft. Income before extraordinary gain increased $192,197 or 9.8% in 2000 over 1999. 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 Net sales increased $6,507,542 over 1999, an 83% increase. Net sales include $10,929,775 of Glas-Aire sales. Sales of household accessories decreased by $485,286 due to general economic conditions resulting in a decline in sales and a reduction in backlog orders from the previous period. Rustic Crafts continues to emphasized higher margin sales in 2000 and to reduce its reliance on it's single large customer, who requires discounted prices. Gross margins increased $2,050,695 in 2000 over 1999, which is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Glas-Aire and it's inclusion in the company's financial statements for the entire year. Gross margins of home accessories increased $196,200 in 2000 reflecting the Company's focus on higher margin products. Selling and administrative expenses increased $1,960,385 or 58% in 2000 compared to 1999 The increase is attributable to the inclusion in the companies financial statement of Glas-Aire activities for the entire year. Expenses increased at Rustic Crafts by $214,842 as a result of higher costs of selling and marketing, including the compensation of key employees. -15- Income from equity investment in partnership increased $451,403 over 1999 due to the reduction of interest expenses on the lower loan principal balance of the partnership, partially offset by increased operating and administrative expenses. Other income decreased $91,085 in 2000 as compared to 1999. Other income in 1999 includes $114,960 of equity earnings related to the Company's ownership in Glas-Aire prior to September 1999. These earnings were offset by decreased interest income from declining invested cash balances. Interest expense decreased $12,421 in 2000 from 1999 as a result of lower cost of funds. Interest expense in 1998 included significant costs and penalties in connection with the refinancing of the SIPI loan in June 1998. The elimination of the refinancing costs was partially offset by additional loans for equipment and facilities at Rustic Crafts and the higher loan balance of the KBC loan which refinanced the SIPI loan. Income tax expense increased $190,984 due to income tax expense for Glas-Aire. The Company cannot use its net operating loss to offset the earnings of this 51% owned subsidiary. Minority interest in the Statement of Operations increased $79,128 due primarily to the inclusion of the results of operations of Glas-Aire for the full year of 2000. Net income decreased $137,668 or 6% in 2000 over 1999. The decrease was due to the recognition of an extraordinary gain in 1999. Income before extraordinary gain increased $192,937 or 9.8% in 2000 over 1999. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to financial market risks due primarily to changes in interest rates. We do not use derivatives to alter the interest characteristics of our debt securities. We have no holdings of derivative or commodity instruments and we do not transact business in foreign currencies. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents or related income would not be significantly impacted by changes in interest rates since the investment maturities are short. Debt from drawdowns on our lines of credit incurs interest at the Prime Lending Rate, which would change from time to time. It is not possible to anticipate the level of interest rates going forward. Changes in interest rates have little impact as the majority of our debt is at a fixed interest rate. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. The Financial Statements and supplementary data required by Item 8 of Part II of Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2001, are presented on page F1 and are incorporated by reference. -16- ITEM 9.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company has reserved 500,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance under the 1988 Incentive Stock Plan. There are no options to purchase Common Stock outstanding under this plan. Stock Options Granted to Statesman Group, Inc. The Statesman Group, Inc. is an international business corporation organized under the laws of the Bahamas. Statesman's principal business is the making of investments in the United States and elsewhere. Both its principal business and principal office are located at Bay Street, Nassau, Bahamas. The Statesman Irrevocable Trust dated April 15, 1991 is the controlling person of Statesman. The Statesman Trust is an irrevocable trust for the benefit of William R. Ponsoldt, Jr., a director of Regency, Tracey A. Ponsoldt, now married and sometimes known as Tracey A. Powers, and Christopher J. Ponsoldt, all children of William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. The acting trustees of the Statesman Trust, dated April 15, 1991, have the sole right to control the disposition of and vote Regency's securities acquired by Statesman Pursuant to an Agreement dated June 3, 1997, as amended and restated on March 24, 1998, Statesman Group, Inc. was granted options to purchase 6.1 million shares of Common Stock. Statesman owned approximately 25% of our outstanding common stock prior to the issuance of these options. The options were issued to Statesman in order to secure the release of Mr. William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and to recognize in part, the amendment to the Series C Preferred Shares under which Statesman forfeited the -20- common stock conversion rights with respect thereto. Statesman also agreed to provide loan guarantees not to exceed the sum of $300,000 upon the request of Regency and a showing of reasonable need. In 2001, we accessed and repaid the line of credit from Statesman. The loans had been collateralized with holdings of Glas-Aire Stock owned by Regency. Statesman and/or its affiliated interests have provided loan guarantees and/or unsecured prime interest rate direct loans to Regency exceeding $2,000,000 since June 1997. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement between Regency and Statesman, until their date of expiration, the options were exercisable at any time in whole or in part at a price equal to the lower of (a) the closing trading price as of the most recent date on which at least 10,000 shares of such stock were traded, or (b) the average closing trading price of the shares during the ninety day period immediately preceding the date of exercise. We agreed to reserve sufficient shares to meet the requirements of the options. The options became exercisable immediately and remained exercisable until April 15, 2007. At the option of Statesman, payment could and was made by Statesman for exercise of the options, in whole, in the form of a promissory note executed by Statesman, secured only by a pledge of the shares purchased, which promissory note would accrue interest for any quarter at the prime rate in effect on the last day of the quarter at Chase Manhattan Bank, with interest and principal payable in a balloon payment five years after the date of execution of the note, provided that if our Board of Directors reasonably determines that exercising the options by delivery of a note would render the respective purchase of shares void or voidable, then the Board may require, as a condition to exercise of the options, that Statesman either (i) pay at least the par value of the shares in cash (with the balance paid by delivery of a note), or (ii) provide acceptable collateral other than the shares themselves to secure payment of the note. We received no cash consideration with respect to the issuance of the securities to Statesman, no commissions were paid, and no underwriter was involved. The options granted to Statesman have no readily determinable value and, therefore, we have not recognized any costs associated with the issuance of these options. At a meeting of our Board of Directors on December 3, 2000, Statesman notified us that it intended to exercise its option. The Board formed a committee to negotiate for collateral for the note that Statesman was entitled to issue to exercise the option. The committee also obtained independent expert advice with respect to the transaction. On October 15, 2001, Statesman exercised the option in full pursuant to an agreement that (1) provided for a purchase price at $.40 per share (par value) rather than the formula price in the option, which would have yielded us approximately 25% less and (2) provided for collateral for the $2.44 million 5 year note issued by Statesman to Regency (in addition to the shares purchased) in the form of the 20% stock interest owned by Statesman in National Resource Development Corporation, our 80% owned subsidiary. -21- Non Qualified Stock Options. Non qualified options to acquire a total of 70,000 common shares were granted in 2001 to directors of Regency in accordance with the Directors' compensation program as approved by the Shareholders in the 1999 Meeting of Shareholders. The options were granted at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, respectively, the par value of the common shares at date of grant. The options vest on February 5,2002 and are exercisable to August 5, 2006. LTIP Awards. There have been no awards under any Long-Term Incentive Plan during the last completed fiscal year. Defined Benefit Plans. We have no defined benefit or actuarial plans. Compensation of Directors. At the 1999 Meeting of Shareholders held on August 5, 1999, the Shareholders approved a compensation program for directors providing for (i) an annual retainer for all directors of $10,000, payable one-half in cash and one-half in our Common Stock, (ii) a fee of $125/hour, with a two hour minimum, for attendance at each meeting of the Board or committee thereof, provided that multi-day meetings and specific consultations with our executive management lasting at least eight hours are compensated on a flat per diem rate of $1,000, and (iii) an award of an option to all directors to purchase 10,000 shares of our Common Stock, at fair market value on date of grant. Other Arrangements. Martin J. Craffey was paid $7,400 for consulting primarily with respect to the operations of Rustic Crafts International, Inc. There were no other arrangements pursuant to which any director was compensated during our last completed fiscal year for services provided as a director. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS. On June 3, 1997, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. pursuant to which he became the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Agreement provides for Mr. Ponsoldt to continue in these duties until his attainment of retirement age, provided that he may resign upon 30 days notice to the Company and further provided that Mr. Ponsoldt may be removed from office upon death or disability or for just cause. The Agreement provides for a base salary in annual installments, in advance, of $250,000 each, which salary is to be adjusted on January 1 of every year by any increase since the previous January 1 in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for All Urban Consumers, U.S. city average, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, -22- Bureau of Labor Statistics.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

(4) The shareholder's most recent Schedule 13D, filed on June 5, 1998, reports that the shareholder owns 5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. However, based on the number of shares owned by the shareholder as reported in the Schedule 13D and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company believes the shareholder holds less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock. -23- Security Ownership of Management The following table sets forth as of April 12, 2002 the number of shares of our Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share and the Series C Preferred Stock, beneficially owned by each director and by all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group as of such date.

Ponsoldt, Jr. (warrants to purchase 1,000 shares) and Martin J. Craffey (warrants to purchase 1,000 shares). ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. STATESMAN GROUP, INC. OPTIONS Statesman Group, Inc. ("Statesman") is an international business corporation organized under the laws of the Bahamas. Statesman's principal business is the making of investments in the United States and elsewhere. Both its principal business and principal office are located at Bay Street, Nassau, Bahamas. The Statesman Irrevocable Trust, dated April 15, 1991, is the controlling person of Statesman. The Statesman Trust is an irrevocable trust for the benefit of William R. Ponsoldt, Jr., a director of the Company, Tracey A. Ponsoldt, now married and sometimes known as Tracey A. Powers, and Christopher J. Ponsoldt, all children of William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. The acting trustees of the Statesman Trust is Liedenhall Bank and Trust, Nassau, Bahamas, which has the sole right to control the disposition of and vote the Company's securities acquired by Statesman. -24- Pursuant to an Agreement dated June 3, 1997, as amended and restated on March 24, 1998, Statesman Group, Inc. was granted options to purchase 6.1 million shares of Common Stock. Statesman owned approximately 25% of the Company's outstanding common stock prior to the issuance of these options. The options were issued to Statesman in order to secure the release of Mr. William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for the release of certain contractual rights held by Statesman, for assignment of certain rights of first refusal and for other consideration. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement between the Company and Statesman, until their date of expiration, the options were exercisable at any time in whole or in part at a price equal to the lower of (a) the closing trading price as of the most recent date on which at least 10,000 shares of such stock were traded, or (b) the average closing trading price of the shares during the ninety day period immediately preceding the date of exercise. The options became exercisable immediately and were to remain exercisable until April 15, 2007. At the option of Statesman, payment could be made by Statesman for exercise of the options, in whole or in part, in the form of a promissory note executed by Statesman, secured only by a pledge of the shares purchased, which promissory note would accrue interest for any quarter at the prime rate in effect on the last day of the quarter at Chase Manhattan Bank, with interest and principal payable in a balloon payment five years after the date of execution of the note, provided that if the Company's Board of Directors reasonably determined that exercising the options by delivery of a note would render the respective purchase of shares void or voidable, then the Board could require, as a condition to exercise of the options, that Statesman either (i) pay at least the par value of the shares in cash (with the balance paid by delivery of a note), or (ii) provide acceptable collateral other than the shares themselves to secure payment of the note. At a meeting of Regency's Board of Directors on December 3, 2000, Statesman notified the Company that it intended to exercise its option. The Board of Directors formed a committee to negotiate for collateral for the note that Statesman was entitled to issue to exercise the option. The committee also obtained independent expert advice with respect to the transaction. On October 15, 2001, Statesman exercised the option in full pursuant to an agreement that (1) provided for a purchase price at $.40 per share (par value) rather than the formula price in the option, which would have yielded the Company approximately 25% less and (2) provided for collateral for the $2.44 million 5 year note issued by Statesman to the Company (in addition to the shares purchased) in the form of the 20% stock interest owned by Statesman in National Resource Development Corporation, the Company's 80% owned subsidiary. As a result of the transaction the Statesman Group owns approximately 38.2 % of our stock. In addition, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement, Statesman also agreed to provide loan guarantees not to exceed the sum of $300,000 upon the request of the Company and a showing of reasonable need. The Company has accessed the Statesman loan. The loan is a demand loan which was collateralized by the Glas-Aire Stock held by the Company. Statesman and/or its affiliated interests have provided loan guarantees and/or unsecured prime interest rate -25- direct loans to the Company in excess of $2,000,000 since June 1997. As of October 2, 2001, the balances of such loans have been paid in full. DISPOSITION OF OUR INTEREST IN GLAS AIRE On September 17, 2001, the Company completed a transaction for the disposition of its interest in its partially owned subsidiary, Glas-Aire Industries Group Ltd. ("Glas-Aire"). Prior to the transaction, each corporation owned a substantial percentage of the common stock of the other, and they had certain officers and directors in common. Pursuant to an agreement entered into on September 17, 2001 and amended on October 1, 2001, Regency exchanged 1,215,105 shares of common stock of Glas-Aire, representing approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Glas-Aire, for $2,500,000 plus 4,040,375 shares of Regency's common stock, or approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding shares of Regency. As a result of the transaction, neither Regency nor Glas-Aire owns any stock of the other. The exchange rate was based on negotiations between the parties and confirmed as to fairness by independent valuation firms, hired by respective committees of each of the Boards of Directors of Regency and Glas-Aire. The former president of Glas-Aire has commenced litigation in British Columbia, Canada against Glas-Aire, the Company, Mr. Ponsoldt and Mr. Baldinger, among other things, asserting that the Regency-Glas-Aire transaction is in breach of bank agreements, securities law and fiduciary duties owed to Glas-Aire and its stockholders. While the company has been served, plaintiff has not proceeded on this action and has not filed a statement of claim on a timely basis. Should plaintiff continue with the action, the defendants, including Regency, would vigorously defend this litigation WILLIAM R. PONSOLDT'S, SR. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT Mr. Ponsoldt's employment agreement provides for Mr. Ponsoldt to continue in these duties until his attainment of retirement age, provided that he may resign upon 30 days notice to us and further provided that Mr. Ponsoldt may be removed from office upon death or disability or for just cause. The Agreement provides for a base salary in annual installments, in advance, of $250,000 each, which salary is to be adjusted on January 1 of every year by any increase since the previous January 1 in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for All Urban Consumers, U.S. city average, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. As additional compensation, payable on a quarterly basis, Mr. Ponsoldt is to receive an amount equal to 20% of our increase in quarterly common stock net worth, which is defined to be the difference between (i) total shareholders' equity and (ii) any shareholders' equity accounts relating to preferred stock. Mr. Ponsoldt may elect to have a portion of his salary or additional compensation in the form of (i) a qualified pension plan; (ii) a qualified profit sharing plan; or (iii) life insurance with a beneficiary of his choice. We may elect to pay up to 50% of the additional compensation by the issuance of warrants to purchase our Common Stock at a price equal to 50% of the average bid price for our Common Stock for the calendar quarter for which the increased compensation is payable. William Ponsoldt had accrued payment of his salary and bonus until October 2001. On that date, Regency had paid his salary, -26- bonus, and accrued interest of $1,355,00. At Mr. Ponsoldt's option, payment for the exercise of the warrants, in whole or in part, may be made in the form of a promissory note secured by a pledge of the shares purchased. The Agreement further provides for Mr. Ponsoldt to receive health and disability insurance (with a benefit of $100,000/year payable in the event of long term disability), an automobile allowance of $600/month (to be adjusted by increases in the CPI), and reimbursement of expenses. The Agreement provides that Mr. Ponsoldt will not compete with us for a two-year period following the termination of his employment. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify Mr. Ponsoldt under certain circumstances. Any disputes between the parties under the Agreement are to be resolved through arbitration. PART IV ITEM 14.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Principals of Consolidation and Nature of Business - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regency Affiliates, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Rustic Crafts International, Inc. ("Rustic Crafts"), and Speed.com, Inc., it's 75% owned subsidiary, Iron Mountain Minerals, Inc. ("IMM") since December 13, 2001, its 80% owned subsidiaries, National Resource Development Corporation ("NRDC"), Transcontinental Drilling Company ("Drilling") and RegTransco, Inc. ("RTI") and its 50% owned subsidiary, Glas-Aire Industries Group, Ltd. ("Glas-Aire") from September 23, 1999, the date in which the Company achieved an ownership interest greater than 50% through October 1, 2001, the date this interest was disposed of. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is engaged in multiple business activities (See Note 16). Regency Affiliates, Inc.'s share of consolidated net assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 consists principally of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $280,000 and $12,000 respectively, investment in partnerships of approximately $30,183,200 and $24,576,000, respectively, property, plant and equipment of approximately $19,600 and $27,300, respectively, and liabilities of approximately $12,100,000 and $12,303,000, respectively. B. Revenue Recognition - The Company's subsidiaries recognize revenue from the sale of goods upon shipment to their respective customers. C. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders (net income less preferred stock dividend requirements and periodic accretion if applicable) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share computations assume the conversion of Series E, Series B, and Junior Series D preferred stock during the period that the preferred stock issues were outstanding. If the result of these assumed conversions is dilutive, the dividend requirements and periodic accretion for the preferred stock issues are reduced (See Note 9). The weighted average number of shares used in basic earnings per share computations for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately 17,547,161 and 13,085,106 and 12,664,000, respectively. The weighted average number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately 20,439,524, 14,864,004 and 14,923,000, respectively. The Company's stock was thinly traded in the over-the-counter market on the bulletin board section until late 1999. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, market prices of $.256, $.587 and $.984 per share, respectively, were utilized in the conversion formulas for the computation of diluted earnings per share. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, if market prices of $.230, $.406 per share, and $.563 per share, respectively, the lowest bid price of the Company's common shares during the year, were used in the conversion formulas, the weighted average number of shares utilized in the computation of diluted earnings per share would amount to approximately 20,551,994, 15,061,106 and 15,435,000, respectively, yielding diluted earnings per share of $.18, $.14 and $.15, respectively. See notes to the consolidated financial statements. 8 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) C. Earnings Per Share (Continued) Earnings per common share attributable to extraordinary gain (net of tax) for 1999 are: Earnings per common share - basic of $.03 and earning per common share - diluted of $.02. D. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's long-term obligations approximate their fair value. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," rates available at balance sheet dates to the Company are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt. E. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions which may exceed federally insured amounts at times. F. Inventory - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market value for raw materials is defined as replacement cost and for work-in-progress and finished products as net realizable value. Inventory is comprised of the following at December 31, 2001 and 2000: 2001 2000 -------- ---------- Finished products $646,958 $ 819,738 Work-in-process 8,793 274,988 Raw materials and supplies 298,158 1,149,000 -------- ---------- $953,909 $2,243,726 ======== ========== G. Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the use of the straight-line and declining balance methods. These items consist of the following at December 31, 2001 and 2000: Property, Plant and Equipment ---------------------- 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Land $ 100,000 $ 100,000 Buildings 2,332,160 2,307,411 Leasehold improvements 77,986 320,636 Machinery and equipment 209,605 3,390,195 ---------- ---------- 2,719,751 6,118,242 Accumulated depreciation 527,056 1,775,072 ---------- ---------- $2,192,695 $4,343,170 ========== ========== Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $372,837, $399,362 and $295,193, respectively. 9 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) H. Aggregate Inventory - Inventory, which consists of 70+ million short tons of previously quarried and stockpiled aggregate rock located at the site of the Groveland Mine in Dickinson County, Michigan, is stated at lower of cost or market. The Company is also subject to a royalty agreement which requires the payment of certain royalties to a previous owner of the aggregate inventory upon sale of the aggregate. In December, 2001 the aggregate inventory was sold to Iron Mountain Minerals, Inc., a 75% owned subsidiary of the company. The purchase price was $18,200,000 and is payable, with interest of 2.46%, in ninety six equal payments of principal and interest commencing December, 2003. The intercompany gain on this transaction has been eliminated in the consolidation process resulting in the aggregate inventory being carried at it's historical cost. I. Goodwill - Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Rustic Crafts in 1997 and Glas-Aire in 1999. The goodwill attributable to Rustic Crafts is being amortized straight-line over a period of 15 years. Accumulated amortization was $256,542 and $208,623 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. J. Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs are recorded at cost and are being amortized over 66 months, the life of the related loan using the effective interest method. Accumulated amortization was $587,361 and $398,329 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. K. Income Taxes - The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities is determined annually. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for those temporary differences that have future tax consequences using the current enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. In some situations SFAS 109 permits the recognition of expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established based upon management's estimate, if necessary. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net exchange in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. L. Foreign Currency Translation - Glas-Aire's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its operations have been translated into the U. S. dollar using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52. M. Evaluation of Long Lived Assets Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any of the long-lived asset over management's estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset. N. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually at a minimum for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the 10 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) fair value of the reporting unit to which they are assigned. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets arising for acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is required to be adopted for goodwill and intangible assets arising from acquisitions prior to June 30, 2001 as of December 31, 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently determining the impact of adopting this standard under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for the obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2001. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard. O. Use of 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 disclosure 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. P. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications were made to prior period financial statement presentations to conform with current period presentations. Note 2.

At December 31, 2000 such shares owned by the Company represented 50.1% of Glas-Aire's total issued and outstanding common shares. The Company accounted for the investment in Glas-Aire on the equity method from April 22, 1999 until September 23, 1999 when the Company's ownership exceeded 50%, whereupon the Company began to consolidate the accounts of Glas-Aire (Note 1A.). Income recognized under the equity method related to Glas-Aire in 1999 was $114,961 and is included in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The common shares of the Company, held by Glas-Aire, are treated as treasury shares in these financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assumes that the consolidation of Glas-Aire occurred at January 1, 1999. The pro forma results are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results which would have occurred had the transaction been consummated at an earlier date, nor are they indicative of results of operations which may occur in the future. 11 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC.

While the company has been served, plaintiff has, to date, taken no further action in this matter. Should the litigation proceed, the Company intends to vigorously defend its position. Note 3. Acquisition of Rustic Crafts In March 1997, the Company, through its newly formed subsidiary, Rustic Crafts, Inc. acquired all of the operating assets, including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and intangibles, of Rustic Crafts Co., Inc. Rustic Crafts, Inc. is involved in the manufacture of wood and cast marble decorative fireplaces, heater logs and related accessories. The Company paid $1,100,000 in cash and issued 100,000 shares of common stock and assumed trade accounts payable, bank debt and certain other accrued liabilities of $413,778. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method and resulted in goodwill and intangibles of $715,000. Such goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen year period. Note 4. Investment in Partnerships In November 1994, the Company invested $350,000 for a limited partnership interest in Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership ("Security"), which owns and operates an office complex. The Company has limited voting rights and is entitled to be allocated 95% of the profit and loss of the Partnership until October 31, 2003 (the lease termination date of the sole tenant of the office complex) and 50% thereafter. The Company is entitled to 95% of operating cash flow distributions, as defined, until October 31, 2003, which are expected to be limited in amount, and 50% thereafter. 12 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 4. Investment in Partnerships (Continued) For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company's income from its equity investment in the Partnership was $5,418,197, $4,712,615 and $4,261,214, respectively. These funds, however, are committed for the amortization of the outstanding principal balance on Security's real estate mortgage and, while the Company's equity investment has increased to $29,984,078 at December 31, 2001 the partnership does not provide liquidity to the Company in excess of an approximately $100,000 annual management fee. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned $109,793, $106,251, and $101,326, respectively, for management services provided to Security. Security was organized to own and operate two buildings containing approximately 717,000 net rentable square feet consisting of a two-story office building and a connected six-story office tower. The building was purchased by Security in 1986 and is located on approximately 34.3 acres of land which is also owned by Security. The building has been occupied by the United States Social Security Administration's Office of Disability and International Operations for approximately 25 years under leases between the United States of America, acting by and through the General Services Administration ("GSA"). Effective November 1, 1994, Security and the GSA entered into a nine-year lease (the "Lease") for 100% of the building. The Lease, among other provisions, requires substantial renovations and improvements to the building, which were completed in 1998. Security has received an opinion of the Assistant General Counsel to the GSA that lease payments are not subject to annual appropriation by the United States Congress and the obligations to make such payments are unconditional general obligations of the United States Government. The Company accounts for the investment in partnership on the equity method, whereby the carrying value of the investment is increased or decreased by the Company's allocable share of Security's book income or loss. The investment in partnership included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $29,984,078 and $24,565,881, respectively. The undistributed earnings from the Company's equity investment in the Partnership as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 amounted to $29,635,078 and $24,215,881, respectively. 13 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC.

Ponsoldt, Sr., the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Note 6. Note Payable The Company's subsidiary, Rustic Crafts, has established a $1,000,000 line of credit with PNC Bank. The line of credit expires on May 18, 2002 and is renewable annually, and bears interest at the Bank's prime rate minus one-half percent (5.25% at December 31, 2001). The accounts receivable, inventory and other assets, such as property and equipment, of Rustic Crafts have been pledged as collateral to secure the line of credit. The line of credit is guaranteed by the Company. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the amounts outstanding under the line of credit were $906,977 and $616,174, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding $126,000 of demand notes bearing interest at 10%, payable to a shareholder. Additionally, the Company had outstanding a $650,000 demand note bearing interest at a rate of prime minus one percent to its President. These obligations were paid in 2001. On October 24, 2000, the Company obtained a commitment for a short term loan of $100,050 from a bank bearing interest at the prime rate plus three-fourths percent, adjusted monthly. As of December 31, 2000 $76,000 remained outstanding; the interest rate was 10.25%. This obligation was guaranteed by two shareholders, one of whom was a former officer and director of the Company. (See Note 13) Note 7. Long-Term Debt KBC Bank Loan - On June 24, 1998, the Company refinanced the long-term ------------- debt previously outstanding with Southern Indiana Properties, Inc. ("SIPI") and entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan") with KBC Bank N.V. ("KBC"). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, KBC advanced $9,383,320. The due date of the Loan is November 30, 2003 with interest at the rate of 7.5% compounded semi-annually on each June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 1998. The interest may be paid by the Company in cash on these semi-annual dates or the Company may elect to add the interest to the principal of the Loan then outstanding. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the amount outstanding under the Loan is $12,089,931 and $11,311,808, respectively, including $2,706,611 and $1,928,488 of interest, through December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Loan is secured by all of the Company's interest in Security, including the Company's interest in all profits and distributions, other than the payment of management fees of approximately $100,000 annually, and all of the Company's rights, powers, and remedies under the Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership Agreement as amended and restated. The security agreement requires the Company to maintain a certain ratio of debt to equity. At any time, the Company may prepay the entire principal balance of the Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole premium as defined in the Loan Agreement, if any. 15 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 7. Long-Term Debt (Continued) To facilitate the loan from KBC, the Company purchased a residual value insurance policy through R.V.I. American Insurance Company ("RVI") which secures the repayment of the outstanding principal and interest when due with a maximum liability of $14 million. Should RVI pay a claim under this policy they will be entitled to certain of the Company's rights with respect to the property of Security, including but not limited to the right to solicit bona fide, third party offers for the property and to accept such offers and bind the Partnership in order to recoup the amount paid. The costs related to the insurance ($745,000) along with legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining the Loan ($205,000) have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized over the life of the Loan using the effective interest method. Mortgage Loan - On March 25, 1998, Rustic Crafts purchased a building -------------- of 126,000 square feet located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purchase of this facility was funded in part by a first mortgage term loan in the amount of $960,000. The first mortgage term loan is payable in consecutive monthly installments over 10 years with a 20 year amortization. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $878,193 and $903,065, respectively. Equipment Loans - In connection with the purchase of the building, PNC --------------- Bank loaned the Company a total of $767,000 to finance the acquisition of new equipment and to install such equipment in the facility. Principal payments on one loan of $604,000 began in March 2000 and will continue for 120 months in amounts sufficient to amortize the outstanding balance over twenty years from March 2000. In March 2000 the interest rate changed to the average weekly yield on U.S. Treasury Bills, plus 200 basis points. The remaining loan in the original amount of $163,500 is payable in equal monthly installments of $2,518. The outstanding balance of these loans was $ 675,766 and $730,797 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In June 1999, Rustic Crafts obtained an additional loan from PNC Bank for the purpose of funding additional equipment purchases and working capital in the amount of $156,000. The loan is payable in equal monthly installments, including principal and interest, of $3,153. The outstanding balance was $89,433 and $118,927 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The interest rates on the mortgage loan and the equipment loan vary from 7.52% to 8.50% as of December 31, 2001. Rustic Crafts' real and personal property, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory and other general intangibles are pledged as security for the loans. The loans are also guaranteed by Regency Affiliates, Inc., the parent company. Zero Coupon Bonds - The zero coupon non-recourse secured bonds, due ------------------- January 2, 2002, had a face value of $542,000 and a carrying value of $414,700 at December 31, 1998. The bonds were issued by NRDC and the difference (discount) between the face value and carrying value was being amortized utilizing the interest method at 9%. Interest expense related to the bonds for 1999 was $36,905. In 1999, certain bondholders agreed to exchange these zero coupon bonds for 121,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an agreed upon per share value of $1.00. Also, a significant amount of the bonds were retired in connection with the Agreement of the Company to discontinue certain claims against one of the bondholders. The exchange of common stock for the bonds and settlement of the claims resulted in a gain on retirement of debt of $330,605 (net of tax of $-0-, due to available net operating loss carryforward), which is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations as an extraordinary gain. 16 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 7. Long-Term Debt (Continued) Lease Obligations - Glas-Aire had two long-term lease obligations to ------------------ purchase equipment. These obligations were five year capital leases and had been recorded as a capital asset and long-term debt.

In the event of liquidation, the Series C shares are senior to all other shares of the Company's stock, with the exception of the Series E shares. (b) The liquidation value of the Junior Series D shares includes accrued and unpaid dividends of $125,902 at December 31, 2001 and 2000. On January 31, 2000, the holders of the Series E preferred stock either converted their preferred shares to the Company's common stock or received cash equal to the par value of the shares, plus accrued dividends. The Company issued 95,877 of its common shares in exchange for 885 shares of preferred stock and paid cash in the amount of $159,300 for 1,593 shares. Series C. - The Series C shares were issued on July 7, 1993 as part of -------- the transaction to acquire an 80% interest in NRDC. The cumulative dividend right is equal to 20% (not to exceed $500,000) of annual after tax earnings of NRDC. At the Company's option, the Series C may be redeemed at the lesser of (a) the stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends or (b) the fair market value of the common stock interest acquired by the Company in NRDC. Series B - The Series B shares were issued in 1991 as part of a -------- restructuring plan limited to senior lenders and was issued in exchange for all obligations and any claims or causes of action relating to the Company's obligations and guarantees. Such preferred stock includes, among other provisions and preferences, the following: (a) A 6% cumulative dividend right commencing on the 24th month from the consummation of a defined "initial business combination transaction" (which occurred with the acquisition of Rustic Crafts in 1997 (see Note 3)) and if the Company has reached a defined ratio of earnings to fixed charges. In addition, dividends accrue for a period of 35 additional months without cash payment. 18 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 9. Serial Preferred Stock (Continued) (b) At the Company's option, the shares may be redeemed, subject to certain limitations, by cash payment or by exchanging shares of its common stock at 77% of its stated value divided by the quoted market value of its common stock. (c) A contingent conversion provision which conversion right, and the Company common shares to be issued in connection with the conversion, would be based on the stated value divided by the average bid and asked price for the 90 days preceding the conversion date of the Company's common shares. In addition, the number of the Company's common shares to be received upon conversion is subject to certain limitations. Junior Series D - The junior preferred stock was issued in 1992 in ----------------- exchange for the Company's Restructuring Serial Promissory Notes. This preferred stock is redeemable, at the Company's option, at the stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends and is contingently convertible into common at the fair market value of the common as determined by the average of the bid and asked price for the thirty (30) day period preceding the conversion date. Generally, no dividends can be paid on the Company's common stock until all cumulative dividends on the serial preferred stock have been paid. Additionally, no dividends on the Company's common shares can be paid if the Company is in default or in arrears with respect to any sinking or analogous fund or any call or tenders or other agreement for the purchase, redemption or other retirement of shares of preferred stock. No provision for dividends has been made for the Company's Series B and C "increasing rate preferred stock," as defined in Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5Q, due to the contingent nature of dividends on such shares. Generally the preferred shares have limited voting rights. However, in the event dividends payable on the Series C and E shares, respectively, are accumulated and unpaid for seven quarterly dividends (whether or not declared and whether or not consecutive), the holders of record of the Series C shares, shall thereafter have the right to elect two directors (each) until all arrears in required cash dividends (whether or not declared) on such shares have been paid. The Company's bylaws provide for eight members on its Board of Directors. At December 31, 2001 the company had no accumulated and unpaid dividends on Series C preferred shares. Note 10. Stock Options/Stock Option Plans Effective June 3, 1997, the Company issued options to purchase 6.1 million shares of common stock to Statesman Group, Inc. The options were issued to Statesman in order to secure the release of Mr. William R. Ponsoldt, Sr. to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to recognize in part, the amendment to the Series C preferred shares under which Statesman forfeited certain common stock conversion rights with respect thereto. Statesman also agreed to provide loan guarantees not to exceed the sum of $300,000 upon the request of the company and a showing of reasonable need. Statesman and/or its affiliated interests have provided loan guarantees and/or unsecured prime interest rate direct loans to the Company exceeding $2,000,000 since June 1997. These options were exercised on October 15, 2001 (See Note 5). In 2001 and 2000, the Company issued 70,000 and 90,000, respectively, non-qualified common stock options at the exercise price of $.40 (par value) and $.84 (fair market value) of the Company's common stock, respectively, on the date of grant, to the directors in accordance with the Director's Compensation Program approved by the shareholders. The 2001 and 2000 options will vest completely on February 5, 2002 and 2001, and are exercisable until August 5, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 19 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 10. Stock Options/Stock Option Plans (Continued) The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for options. The Company has elected to treat these option awards to directors as employee based compensation and therefore has not recorded the estimated value of these options in the accompanying statement of operations. The fair value of the Company's stock-based compensation to directors was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Company's stock-based compensation has characteristics significantly different from those traded options and changes in the subjective input can materially affect the fair value estimate. The fair value of the Company's stock awards was estimated assuming the following assumptions: no expected dividends, risk free interest rate of 5.9% expected average life of approximately 2.5 to 5 years and expected stock price volatility of 90% in 2001, 41% in 2000 and 55% in 1999. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $.22 during 2001, $.38 during 2000, and $.43 during 1999. Had compensation cost for the options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards, net income and net income per common share basic and diluted would have been as follows for 2001: As Reported Pro Forma ------------ ---------- Net income $ 3,673,682 $3,658,282 Net income attributable to common shares 3,673,682 3,658,282 Net income per common share: Basic .21 .21 Diluted .18 .18 The following is a summary of the status of the Company's options for 2001: Average Exercise Options Price --------- --------- Outstanding at beginning of year 180,000 $ 0.89 Issued 70,000 0.40 Cancelled - - --------- --------- Outstanding at end of year 250,000 $ 0.75 ========= ========= Number of outstanding and exercisable 250,000 shares Average remaining contractual life 4 years Exercise price $.40 - $.93 per share Had compensation cost for the options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards, net income and net income per common share (basic and diluted) would have ben as follows for 2000: As Reported Pro Forma ------------ ---------- Net income $ 2,155,254 $2,121,054 Net income attributable to common shares 2,155,254 2,121,054 Net income per common share: Basic .16 .16 Diluted .14 .14 20 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC.

Income Taxes As referred to in Note 1, the Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The deferred taxes are the result of long-term temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting for depreciation, earnings from the Company's partnership investment in Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership related to depreciation and amortization and the recognition of income tax carryforward items. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company's net deferred tax asset, utilizing a 34% effective tax rate, consists of: 2001 2000 ------------ ------------- Deferred tax assets: Investment partnership earnings $ 2,418,000 $ 2,214,000 Net operating loss carry forward 2,552,000 9,606,000 Alternative minimum tax credits 493,000 493,000 Valuation allowance (5,463,000) (12,313,000) ------------ ------------- Subtotal $ - $ - ============ ============= 2001 2000 ------------ ------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation - (402,048) ------------ ------------- Net deferred tax liabilities $ - $ (402,048) ============ ============= The valuation allowance was established to reduce the net deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This reduction is necessary due to uncertainty of the Company's ability to utilize the net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards before they expire. The deferred tax liability relates to depreciation and is due to the consolidation of the accounts of Glas-Aire in 2000. Glas-Aire files a separate return for income tax purposes. For regular federal income tax purposes, the Company has remaining net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,507,000. These losses can be carried forward to offset future taxable income and, if not 21 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 11. Income Taxes (Continued) utilized, will expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2001. The Company's tax returns have not recently been examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("Service") and there is no assurance that the Service would not attempt to limit the Company's use of its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards reduced the current provision for regular Federal income taxes by approximately $1,375,226, $670,000, and $980,000, respectively. At December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company has provided $368,211, $426,293, and $235,309, respectively, for taxes, which relate to federal taxes, including alternative minimum tax liabilities (See Note 14) and state income taxes. The provision for income taxes is as follows: 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Current $368,211 $254,760 $212,092 Deferred - 171,533 23,217 -------- -------- -------- $368,211 $426,293 $235,309 ======== ======== ======== Note 12. Employment Agreements On June 3, 1997, Regency entered into an Employment Agreement with William R. Ponsoldt, Sr., pursuant to which he became the President and CEO of the Company. The Agreement provides for Mr. Ponsoldt to continue in these duties until attainment of retirement age, provided that he may resign upon the provision of 30 days notice to the Company and further provided that Mr. Ponsoldt may be removed from office upon death or disability or for just cause. The Agreement provides for a base salary in annual installments, in advance, of $250,000 each, which salary is to be adjusted on January 1 of every year by any increase since the previous January 1 in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for All Urban Consumers, U.S. city average, as published by the U. S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. As additional compensation, Mr. Ponsoldt is to receive an amount equal to 20% of the Company's increase in quarterly common stock net worth, which is defined to be the difference between (i) total shareholders' equity and (ii) any shareholders' equity accounts relating to preferred stock. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, approximately $786,000 and $935,000, respectively, of additional compensation is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may elect to pay up to 50% of the additional compensation by the issuance of warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at a price equal to 50% of the average bid price for the Company's common stock for the calendar quarter for which the increased compensation is payable. The Agreement further provides for Mr. Ponsoldt to receive health and disability insurance ($100,000/year in the event of long term disability), an automobile allowance of $600/month (to be adjusted by increases in the CPI), and reimbursement of expenses. The Agreement provides that Mr. Ponsoldt will not compete with the Company for a two year period following the termination of his employment and provides for indemnification under certain circumstances. Any disputes between the Company and Mr. Ponsoldt under the Agreement are to be resolved through arbitration. Note 13. Related Party Transactions L. J. Horbach, a director of the Company through December 5, 2001 and L. J. Horbach and Associates, of which Mr. Horbach is the sole owner, received $0 in 2001, $134,180 in 2000 and $90,700 in 1999 for services, expenses and certain administrative functions provided to the Company. 22 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 13. Related Party Transactions (Continued) On November 2, 2001 Mr. Horbach purchased from Mid City Bank a certain promissory note of the Company for $71,109, as to which he had been a guarantor. Thereafter, Mr. Horbach filed suit against the company seeking to collect both the principal amount of the note and accrued interest which amounted to $82,978. In December 2001, the company filed suit against Mr. Horbach seeking to void it's alleged liability and other relief. Note 14. Contingencies, Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to numerous contingencies, risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following that could have a severe impact on the Company: (i) The Company currently does not generate positive cash flow as the current activities of the Company do not, in and of themselves, generate sufficient cash flow to cover its corporate operating expenses and thus the Company must rely on its cash reserves to fund these expenses. The Company's ability to continue in existence is partly dependent upon its ability to attain satisfactory levels of operating cash flows. (ii) The Company currently lacks the necessary infrastructure at the site of the Groveland Mine in order to permit the Company to make more than casual sales of the aggregate (See Note 1.G). (iii) An unsecured default in the Lease or sudden catastrophe to the Security West Building from uninsured acts of God or war could have a materially adverse impact upon the Company's investment in Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership and, therefore, its financial position and results of operations (See Note 4). (iv) The failure of the Social Security Administration to renew its lease of the Security West Buildings upon its expiration on October 31, 2003 could have a materially adverse impact upon the Company's investment in Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership. (v) The Company has significant tax loss and credit carryforwards and no assurance can be provided that the Internal Revenue Service would not attempt to limit or disallow altogether the Company's use, retroactively and/or prospectively, of such carryforwards, due to ownership changes or any other reason. The disallowance of the utilization of the Company's net operating loss would severely impact the Company's financial position and results of operations due to the significant amounts of taxable income (generated by the Company's investment in Security) that has in the past been, and is expected in the future to be, offset by the Company's net operating loss carryforwards (See Note 11). (vi) As described at Note 16, the Company's operating subsidiaries (Rustic Crafts) is dependent on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of its respective revenue. The loss of one or more of these customers could have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations. Note 15. Lease Commitments Regency leases office space and is committed to the minimum lease payment of $34,048 through July 31, 2002 under an operating lease for premises. Rent expense was $38,340, $43,276 and $42,990 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 23 REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC.
