Abstract
We relate the negative $K$-theory of a normal surface to a resolution of singularities. The only nonzero $K$-groups are $K\sb {-2}$, which counts loops in the exceptional fiber, and $K\sb {-1}$, which is related to the divisor class groups of the complete local rings at the singularities. We also verify two conjectures of Srinivas about $K\sb 0$-regularity and $K\sb {-1}$ of a surface.
