New Concept Energy, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

DALLAS--(May 13, 2020)--New Concept Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: GBR), (the “Company” or “NCE”) a Dallas-based oil and gas company, today reported Results of Operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of ($97,000) or $0.00 per share, compared to net income of $126,000 or ($0.02) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded oil and gas revenues of $125,000 as compared to $180,000 for the comparable period of 2019. The reduction was principally due to the dollar amount per barrel for oil and MCF for gas the Company received from the sale of natural gas.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded oil and gas operating expenses of $178,000 as compared to $179,000 for the comparable period of 2019.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, corporate general & administrative expenses were $104,000 as compared to $88,000 for the comparable periods in 2019. The increase was due, for the most part, to consulting fees paid by the Company regarding oil and gas matters.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company recorded a one-time gain of $153,000 which was reflected as other income.
