Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(b) Effective January 19, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of New Concept Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant” or the “Issuer”) engaged the Dallas, Texas firm of Turner Stone & Company LLP as the Independent Registered Public Accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and any interim periods. During the Registrant’s two most fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, the Company did not consult with a Turner Stone & Company LLP or any of its members about the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction or any other matter. The decision to engage accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company consisting of Dan Locklear (Chairman), Cecilia Maynard and Raymond D. Roberts, Sr.
The engagement effective January 19, 2024 of Turner Stone & Company LLP as the new Independent Registered Public Accountant for the Company was necessitated by virtue of the notification on January 2, 2024 of Swalm & Associates P.C. that it was ceasing its services as Independent Registered Public Accountants for the Company, a decision due to the upcoming retirement of the principle, Edward S. Swalm, C.P.A..
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant is duly caused this Current Report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
