NEW CONCEPT ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Concept Energy, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary (collectively, “NCE” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The Company is evaluating business opportunities to provide both additional income and cash flow.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
NOTE B: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company owns approximately 190 acres of land located
in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Located on the land are four structures totaling approximately 53,000 square feet. Of this total area the
main industrial/office building contains approximately 24,800 square feet of which approximately 16,000 square feet is leased at a rate
of $
In August 2020, the Company sold its oil and gas operations to a third party. On January 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Consulting Management Agreement with respect to such oil and gas operations whereby the Company would provide management, supervisory and administrative services for a fee of 10% of the gross revenue of such oil and gas operations. The agreement is effective January 1, 2022 and may be terminated by either party upon sixty days’ notice.
NOTE C: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We consider accounting policies related to our estimates of depreciation, amortization, leases, and revenue recognition for real estate operations, impairment, and sales of real estate as significant accounting policies. The policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. These policies are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
NOTE D: CONCENTRATIONS
The Company maintains its cash balances
at financial institutions that participate in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program
which insures depositors up to $
NOTE E: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of the Company’s accounting policies require the application of judgment in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments and estimates are based upon the Company’s historical experience, current trends and information available from other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note C to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies are more significant to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Revisions in such estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revisions become known.
Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and notes receivable is based on an analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The analysis places particular emphasis on past due accounts. Management considers such information as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of the tenant, customer or other debtor and the financial condition of the tenant or other debtor. Management’s estimate of the required allowance, which is reviewed on a quarterly basis, is subject to revision as these factors change.
Deferred Tax Assets
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The future recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carry forwards. At March 31, 2024, the Company had a deferred tax asset due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management could not determine that it was more likely than not that the benefit of the deferred tax asset would be realized, a 100% valuation allowance was established.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2024, the Company had current assets of $456,000 and current liabilities of $67,000.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 were $395,000 as compared to $447,000 at December 31, 2023.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the same period in 2023
The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $2,000 for three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to net income of $17,000 for the similar period in 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company had revenue of $36,000 including $25,000 for rental income and $11,000 in management fees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, corporate general & administrative expenses were $78,000 as compared to $68,000 for the comparable period in 2023.

Forward Looking Statements
“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this filing that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances, operations and prospects. The discussion of such matters and subject areas is qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may materially differ from the Company’s actual future experience involving any one or more of such matters and subject areas relating to interest rate fluctuations, the ability to obtain adequate debt and equity financing, demand, pricing, competition, construction, licensing, permitting, construction delays on new developments, contractual and licensure, and other delays on the disposition, transition, or restructuring of currently or previously owned, leased or managed properties in the Company’s portfolio, and the ability of the Company to continue managing its costs and cash flow while maintaining high occupancy rates and market rate charges in its retirement community. The Company has attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors that it currently believes may cause actual future experience and results to differ from the Company’s current expectations regarding the relevant matter of subject area. These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Inflation
The Company’s principal source of revenue is rent fees for services rendered and interest income. Although the Company has not historically experienced any adverse effects of inflation on salaries or other operating expenses, there can be no assurance that such trends will continue.
Environmental Matters
The Company has conducted environmental assessments on most of its existing owned or leased properties. These assessments have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations. The Company is not aware of any such environmental liability. The Company believes that all of its properties are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority and is not otherwise aware of any material non-compliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in connection with any of its communities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has extinguished all its outstanding debt therefore, the Company has minimal risk from exposure to changes in interest rates.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Based on an evaluation by our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
