NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998 (unaudited) and December 31, 1997

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements, which should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements of Regent Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
included in the 1997 Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB, are unaudited but
have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of
providing information with respect to the interim period. The Company
believes that all adjustments (none of which were other than normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position as of June 30, 1998 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 have been
included.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Organization and Business

Regent Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Regent Petroleum
Corporation, was incorporated on January 18, 1980, for the purpose of
exploration and development of oil and gas properties in the United States.
Activities of the Company up to 1992 were primarily organization, issuance
of equity capital and acquisition of developed and undeveloped oil and gas
properties. In 1992, the Company redirected its core business to
environmental technologies and the joint-venture of water filtration systems.
In 1994, the Company acquired SSB Environmental, Inc., which was organized for
the purpose of providing environmental services.  In 1996, the Company
divested its environmental interests and licensed propriety technology for the
purpose of offering Internet access and related products and services (the
"Technology License").  In January, 1998, the Company announced its entry into
the digital prepress and printing business through a new subsidiary company,
Regent Digital Imaging, Inc. ("Regent Digital").  Regent Digital engages in
on-demand print and digital prepress business in the Dallas - Ft. Worth
markets.  At the shareholders meeting held on March 4, 1998, the shareholders
approved a 1 for 6 reverse split of the Common Stock of the Company.  The
Company conducts its operations through four wholly owned subsidiaries:
(i) Regent Digital Imaging, Inc.; (ii) ConnecTen, L.L.C.; (iii) Regent Tel1
Communications, Inc.; and (iv) Channel Services, L.C.  Regent's executive
offices are located at 16415 Addison Road, Suite 150, Dallas, Texas 75248
and its telephone number is (972) 732 9585.    

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation of furniture and fixtures is provided in amounts sufficient
to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated
service lives (5 years). The straight-line method of depreciation is used
for financial reporting purposes, while accelerated methods are used for tax
purposes. Amortization of all licenses is provided in amounts which reflect
the anticipated minimum number of years of the term of the license (10 years).

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the method of accounting for income taxes set forth in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax
returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates
in effect in the years which the differences are expected to reverse.
These temporary differences primarily relate to depreciation, depletion and
amortization. The Company has not recognized the benefit of any net
operating loss carryforwards as the result of adopting SFAS 109, and no
deferred tax assets have been recorded in the books of the Company due to
uncertainty as to the Company's ability to utilize the loss carryforwards.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--continued 

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The Company does not consider any of its assets to meet the definition of a
cash equivalent.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is presented in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, (SFAS 128).
SFAS 128 replaced the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings
(loss) per share (EPS), with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS.  
Under SFAS 128, basic EPS excludes dilution for common stock equivilents
and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders 
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock and resulted in the issuance of common stock.  Basic and diluted
EPS are the same for the periods presented, and all common stock equivalents
are antidilutive.  

(3) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock:  As of June 30, 1998, the Company has 100,000 shares 
authorized and 3,553,693 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Preferred Stock:  As of June 30, 1998, the Company has 30,000,000 shares
authorized and there were no shares of Preferred Stock issued or approved
for issuance.

(4)  STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS

Pursuant to certain director and employment agreements, the following stock
options have been granted:  325,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.30 per
share, 66,668 shares at an exercise price of $0.45 per share and 130,000
shares at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.  Upon the placement of 166,667
shares of restricted common stock for $0.60 per share, an additional 333,333
warrants were issued for the purchase of the same number of shares for $1.00
per share.  The exercise date for all of the aforementioned options and warrants
has been extended to on or before June 30, 2003.  With the acquisition of 
Channel Services, 13,334 warrants were issued to purchase the same number of
shares for $1.80 per share with an exercise date of on or before December 31,
1998.  All options and warrants are for the purchase of newly issued, 
restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company.

(5) CREDIT FACILITIES

Ft. Worth market.

On February 1, 1998, Regent Digital executed an equipment lease with Eagle

(9) OPERATIONS FOR SALE

On September 15, 1996, the Company announced it had initiated high-speed 
Internet access for home and business in the Dallas metroplex through a new
wholly owned subsidiary, Regent Tel1 Communications, Inc. ("Regent TEL1").  
The Internet access is provided through the National Knowledge Networks, Inc.
digital network under a Technology License which licenses the hardware and
the software necessary for the Company to offer dial-up access to the
Internet.  The License was obtained for Common Stock of the Company from
NKN Technologies, Inc. which is under license from National Knowledge 
Networks, Inc., the latter company being recently acquired by VERIO, Inc.,
a NASDQ public company.  On January 1, 1998, Regent acquired Channel Services,
L.C. for Common Stock and warrants.  The acquisition of Channel Services,
L.C. allowed Regent TEL1 to succeed to Channel's status as a preferred
customer of AT&T Wireless Services Corp.  Regent TEL1 markets the AT&T
wireless products to its Internet customers along with other 
telecommunication services and products.  With the emphasis the Company
is placing on the digital print business and networks, the Company has
made plans to divest its dialup Internet operations and its offering of
telecommunications products and services.  This divestiture of these
operations when and if the divestiture takes place will have a positive
of reducing net losses primarily due to the elimination of the depreciation 
and amortization associated with the assets.  These operations have had 
cumulative losses through June 30, 1998 of $19,318. The Company does not 
expect to realize a loss upon the sale of the related assets.

(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 16, 1998, the Company announced that Regent Digital, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, had initiated sales and service to the web 
printing markets through a strategisc alliance with ColorGraphics 
Corporation.  Regent Digital entered into a marketing agreement with 
ColorGraphics and will be the principal marketing company for ColorGraphics
with regard to its web printing business in all Texas markets.

On July 22, 1998, the Company announced that Regent Digital, Inc. had
initiated a new service called "Regent Digital Direct" for its digital
print customers.  The new service will allow Regent Digital's clients to
transmit all of their digital work over the Internet or through direct,
high-speed wide-area network connections directly to a Regent Digital 
secure server where it can be routed to a print facility and stored for
client access at anytime.  See Recent Developments in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis" for additional details.

Business

Regent Technologies, through its subsidiaries, provides a broad range of
digital prepress and digital short run color printing services for the
printing, publishing and packing marketplace.  In addition, the Company
offers Internet access to the professional and corporate marketplace with
an emphasis on Internet access for digital printing operations.  Digital
prepress involves the creation and manipulation of a combination of text,
graphics, or photographs to be used on a printed page.  The process can
range from scanning into computer networks to downloading customer created
files for processing to various digital output devices.  The prepress
services afford customers the ability to modify or enhance a digital image
throughout the design and approval process with faster turnaround and at a
lower price than traditional or non-digital prepress process.  Digital
printing is made up of "on demand" high quality, "short run" (1 to 1,000
pieces), full color digital printing through the use of state-of-the-art
digital printing equipment.  Regent's key digital printing devices are
the Indigo E-Print 1000 digital sheetfed printing press and the Heidelburg
DI printing press for longer runs.  A long-term objective for Regent is
to build a "digital information distribution network" with archiving and
network capabilities.  This network would have an open architecture that
could service its users in a variety of ways, including access over the
Internet through Regent's "on net" facility in downtown Dallas, Texas,
operated through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ConnecTen, L.L.C.

Operations for Sale

On September 15, 1996, the Company announced it had initiated high-speed 
Internet access for home and business in the Dallas metroplex through a
new wholly owned subsidiary, Regent Tel1 Communications, Inc. ("Regent
TEL1").  The Internet access is provided through National Knowledge
Networks, Inc. digital network under a Technology License which licenses
the hardware and the software necessary for the Company to offer dial-up
access to the Internet.  The License was obtained for Common Stock of the
Company from NKN Technologies, Inc. which is under license from National
Knowledge Networks, Inc., the latter company being recently acquired by VERIO,
Inc., a NASDQ public company.  On January 1, 1998, Regent acquired Channel
Services, L.C. for Common Stock and warrants.  The acquisition of Channel 
Services, L.C. allowed Regent TEL1 to succeed to Channel's status as a
preferred customer of AT&T Wireless Services Corp.  Regent TEL1 markets the
wireless products to its Internet customers along with other
telecommunication services and products.  With the emphasis the Company
is placing on the digital print business and networks, the Company has
made plans to divest its dialup Internet operations and its offering of
telecommunications products and services.  This divestiture of these
operatons when and if the divesture takes place will have the positive effect
of reducing net losses primarily due to the elimination of the depreciation 
and amortization associated with the assets.  These operations have had 
cumulative losses through June 30, 1998 of $19,316.  The Company does not 
expect to realize a loss upon the sale of the related assets.

Recent Developments

On March 20, 1998, the Company announced its entry into the digital printing
and prepress business through its new subsidiary company, Regent Digital
Imaging, Inc. ("Regent Digital").  Regent Digital was incorporated as a
Texas corporation and was initiated because of the Company's knowledge of
and access to the technologies related to this industry and the Company's
belief that the digital printing business can be enhanced through
utilization of  the Internet.  

On April 24, 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to merge the
operations of Digital Press & Imaging, L.L.C. ("DPI") into Regent Digital
which will add three digital printing operating offices (the "DPI Merger").
Following the closing, DPI will change its name and operate under the
auspices of Regent Digital.  Following the DPI Merger, the Company will have
an operating presence in five major markets, including Dallas, Ft. Worth,
Austin, San Antonio and Tulsa, Oklahoma.  The Company anticipates a 
closing of the merger on or before September 30, 1998. 

On July 16, 1998, the Company announced that Regent Digital, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, had initiated sales and service to the web
printing markets through a strategic alliance with ColorGraphics Corporation.
Regent Digital entered into a marketing agreement with ColorGraphics and will
be the principal marketing company for ColorGraphics with regard to its web
printing business in all Texas markets.

On July 22, 1998, the Company announced that Regent Digital, Inc. had
initiated a new service called "Regent Digital Direct" for its digital 
print customers.  The new service will Allow Regent Digital's clients to 
transmit all of their digital work over the Internet or through direct, 
high-speed wide-area network connections directly to a Regent Digital secure
server where it can be routed to a print facility and stored for client
access at anytime.  The new service is offered in conjunction with the
Regent Technologies fiber hub facility in downtown Dallas operated by
ConnecTen, LLC, also a subsidiary of Regent Technologies.  The ConnecTen
facility is an"on-net" fiber hub which served as the founding operating
facility of broadcast.com.  The facility is equipped with fiber from
AT&T/TCG, WorldCom/MFS and Southwestern Bell and with Internet access
through the Savvis National Network.  The focus of ConnecTen is to provide
a wide range of Internet services for corporate and professional
customers including high-speed access, web hosting, server co-location
and web page development.  As part of the scope of the services provided
to a corporate account, ConnecTen optimizes a customer's Internet needs at
the least cost available.  The service will provide secure access for
Regent Digital's clients over the Internet or via direct, high-speed
connections including ISDN and T-1 access speeds to facilitate the transfer,
storage and printing of digital print files.    

Acquisition Strategy

With its entry into digital printing, the Company will seek to expand
this business with the acquisition of companies in markets with
concentrations of graphic artists and marketing professionals which have
the potential to utilize digital prepress and digital printing operations
as well as digital distribution networks.  The Company believes it will be
regarded by acquisition candidates as an attractive acquiror because of:
(1) the Company's plans for creating a national presence of comprehensive
and professionally managed digital prepress and printing operation centers
that emphasize the development of long-term customer relationships at the
local, regional and national levels; (2) the Company's decentralized
operating philosophy; (3) the potential for owners of the acquired
businesses to participate in the Company's planned growth while realizing
liquidity; (4) the Company's increased name recognition and its access to
financial resources as a public company; and (5) the potential for increased
profitability of the acquired company due to purchasing economics and the
centralization of certain administrative functions.

Results of Operations

The Company increased sales from $102,000 for the period ended March 31,
1998 to $357,000 for the period ended June 30, 1998 and gross profits for
the same periods from $30,000 to $164,000.  This represents a positive growth
trend in sales and gross profits of 250% and 446% respectively as compared
to the period ended March 31, 1998.  The Company's net loss for the period
ended June 30,1998 was $493,000, or $.149 cents per common share, compared
compared with a net loss of $95,000, for the same period in 1997.
The difference was due to the increase of costs associated with expanded
Internet operations and the startup expenses of the new Regent Digital
Imaging, Inc. prepress and printing business.  The Internet operations are 
centered on building recurring revenue through new subscriptions for dedicated
Internet access.  Recurring revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 
averaged approximately $26,000 per month.

to $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The increase in net
sales was primarily attributable to new sales of $163,000 from the

telecommunications with gross profits of $51,000. 

Other Deductions.  For the three months ended June 30, 1998, general and
administrative expenses increased $212,000 from 1997 due to the increase of
operating costs associated with digital imaging and Internet activities
related primarily to salary expense for increased management and operations
personnel.  These expenses include salaries of $78,000 to executive officers
of the Company which have been deferred to preserve sach.  Depreciation
and amortization increased $34,000 due to the new print equipment and 
additional Internet and computer equipment.  This amount includes $9,419
of amortization related to the Operations for Sale.
 
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1997.

Net Sales.  Net sales from operations for the six months ended June 30,
1998 were $357,000, an increase of $352,000 or 7,040%, compared to $5,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The increase in net sales was
primarily attributable to new sales of $213,000 from the Company's
entry into the prepress and digital printing business which commenced
operations in February, 1998, plus continued growth in the
Internet and telecommunications revenues of $131,000 compared to $5,000
for the same period in 1997.  

Cost of Sales.  Costs of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998
was $193,000, an increase of $188,000 compared to the same period in 1997. 
The increase was due to the new printing operations and Internet access with
cost of sales of $117,000 and $76,000, respectively.   

Gross Profit.  The Company had gross profits of $164,000 compared to $5,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The 1998 gross profits were
primarily attributable to the prepress and digital printing operations with
gross profits of $96,000 and the Internet and telecommunications with
gross profits of $55,000.

Other Deductions.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, general and
administrative expenses increased $455,000 from 1997 due to the increase
of operating costs associated with digital imaging and Internet activities
related primarily to salary expense for increased management and operations
personnel.  These expenses include salaries of $141,000 to executive officers
of the Company which have been deferred to perserve cash.  Depreciation
and amortization increased $77,000 due to the new print equipment and
additional Internet and computer equipment.  This amount includes $18,838
of amortization related to the Operations for Sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1998, excluding amounts owed to officers and affiliates, the
Company had a negative working capital of $364,000 compared to negative
working capital of $83,000 for the same period in 1997.  This amount includes
$141.000 of salaries owed to employees of the Company.

     Net cash used by operating activities totaled $221,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.  This amount would have been greater except
for the Chairman and the President deferring all compensation
under their employment contracts and other partial deferrals totaling
$141,000.  Cash provided from investing activities was due to the collection
of a note receivable from the Chairman of $46,000 and the return of equipment
to Ascend Communications, Inc. which had been received under an evaluation
program.  Cash provided of $156,000 from financing activities was principally
from $40,000 for the sale of new restricted previously unissued common
stock and $182,000 from the line of credit with the Chairman.  The net
effect of cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and
financing activities was an increase to cash of $2,000.  The Company
believes that current cash balances, available borrowing capacity on its
line of credit and cash generated from operations will provide sufficient
cash to meet its operating requirements.

Other Matters

The Company believes that its management information systems are able to
process all transactions including those relating to the year 2000 and
beyond.  Additionally, the Company uses an independent service bureau for
the processing for payroll and payroll tax related operations and has been
notified by the service bureau that all of its systems will be fully
compliant with year 2000 requirements.  Although the Company believes that
the information systems of its major customers and vendors (insofar as they
relate to the Company's business) comply with year 2000 requirements, there
can be no assurance that the year 2000 issue will not effect the information
systems of such customers and vendors as they relate to the Company's
business or that any such impact would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
