DALLAS (August 13, 2020) - New Concept Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: GBR), (the “Company” or “NCE”) a Dallas-based oil and gas company, today reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $137,000 or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $141,000 or ($0.03) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded oil and gas revenues of $93,000 as compared to $164,000 for the comparable period of 2019. The decrease was principally due to a lower price received for the sale of natural gas.
