New Concept Energy, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results
 
Dallas (August 13, 2014)—New Concept Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GBR), ( the "Company" or "NCE") a Dallas-based oil and gas company, today reported net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $99,000 or $0.05 per share, compared to a net income of $138,000 or $0.07 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Included in 2013 was income for a recovery of bad debt expense of $394,000.
 
Operating expenses included non-cash depletion, depreciation and amortization of $338,000 and $431,000 in 2014 and 2013 respectively.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded oil and gas revenues, net of royalty expenses of $485,000 as compared to $384,000 for the comparable period of 2013. The changes in oil and gas revenues were due to new oil wells that were drilled in late 2013.
 
The Company recorded revenues of $728,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from its retirement property compared to $666,000 for the comparable period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to rate increases.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded oil and gas operating expenses of $425,000 as compared to $493,000 for the comparable period of 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depletion expense of $55,000.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, operating expenses at the retirement property were $628,000 as compared to $619,000 for the comparable period in 2013. The increases in operating expenses were due to an overall increase in non-payroll related expenses.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, corporate general & administrative expenses were $205,000 as compared to $170,000 for the comparable periods in 2013. The increase is primarily due to $36,000 of consulting fees paid to assist the Company in its operations and to identify new oil and gas opportunities.
