The statistical properties of H-alpha and hard X-ray solar flares are investigated in relation to the cycle variations in 1996-2006 of sunspots and active regions (plages) obtained from the automated Soar Feature Catalogues (SFC, http://solar.inf.brad.ac.uk). Cross-correlation analysis is carried out between flare sizes, locations, significance and active region/sunspot parameters including magnetic field extracted in SFC. Sunspot and plage area distributions reveals a strong North-South asymmetry of about 0.2 and the period of about 7-8 years for sunspots and of 0.5 and period of 9 years for plages with both asymmetries decreasing towards the next cycle minimum. The temporal distribution of solar flare occurrences in Northern and Southern hemispheres, at different latitudes and longitudes are compared with those of plage and sunspot areas and LOS magnetic fields. The spectral indices of HXR and gamma-ray emission wer used to estimate magnetic field components and their variations with the cycle. The application of these results to the solar activity forecast is discussed.
