New Concept Energy, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Results
 
Dallas (March 27, 2015) — New Concept Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GBR),  (the "Company" or "NCE") a Dallas-based oil and gas company, today reported Results of Operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014.  During the three months ended December 31, 2014 the Company reported a net loss of $436,000 or ($0.23) per share, compared to net income of $124,000 or $0.06 per share for the same period ended December 31, 2013.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company reported a net loss of $779,000 or ($0.40) per share, compared to net income of $426,000 or $0.22 per share for the same period ended December 31, 2013.
 
Revenues: Total revenues were $4.4 million in 2014 and $4.2 million in 2013.   Net revenue for our oil and gas operation increased by $200,000 for the first nine months of the year but decreased by $200,000 in the final quarter of the year. The fluctuation was principally due to the price the Company received for its oil in 2014 as compared to 2013. The revenue for the retirement community increased by approximately $200,000 in 2014 compared to 2013 principally due to rate increases.
 
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $53 million in 2014 and $5.1 million in 2013.
 
Oil & gas operating expenses decreased by a net of $214,000 in 2014. Pursuant to the requirements of the "full cost ceiling test" in 2013 the Company recorded a non-cash charge to operations of $200,000 to write down its investment of $250,000 in two small wells in Arkansas.
 
Real estate operating expenses were $2.6 million in 2014 as compared to $2.5 million in 2013. The principal cause of the increase was non-payroll related expenses at the Company's retirement facility.
 
Corporate Expenses were $823,000 in 2014 and $500,000 in 2013. The increase is primarily due to consulting fees paid to assist the Company in its oil and gas operations and to identify new oil and gas opportunities.
 
Interest Income & Expense: Interest Expense was $91,000 in 2014 as compared to $114,000 in 2013. The decrease was due to a reduction in the long term debt owed to the previous owners of the Company's oil and gas operation in West Virginia / Ohio.
 
Other Income & (Expense): Other income & (expense) was $197,000 for 2014 as compared to ($189,000) in 2013. The balances in 2014 and 2013 are comprised of numerous events.
 
Bad Debt Expense (Recovery): In 2011 the company recorded a bad debt expense with respect to a note receivable of $10 million. In 2013 and 2012 the company recovered $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and recorded income.
