Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Concept Energy, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NCE” or the “Company”).  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.  Certain 2010 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

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.

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, 2010.  Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

NOTE B: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company operates oil and gas wells and mineral leases in Athens and Meigs Counties in Ohio and in Calhoun, Jackson and Roane Counties in West Virginia through its wholly owned subsidiaries Mountaineer State Energy, LLC and Mountaineer State Operations, LLC.

The Company also leases and operates a retirement community in King City Oregon, with a capacity of 114 residents.

NOTE C: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We consider accounting policies related to our estimates of depreciation amortization, and depletion, segments, oil and gas properties, oil and gas reserves, gas gathering assets, office and field equipment, revenue recognition and gas imbalances, leases, 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, 2010.

NOTE D: NOTES RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

On September 30, 2011, the Company had a loan receivable plus accrued interest of $10,007,000 from Prime Income Asset Management, Inc. (“PIAMI”) a related party.  The loan bears interest at the prime rate plus two percent and is due within 30 days following a demand by the Company.  If no demand is made the note will become due on January 31, 2013.

While the notes receivable by their terms are demand notes the Company does not anticipate making demand on such notes during the next twelve months and has therefore not classified the notes as being a current asset.

NOTE E: CONTINGENCIES

Page 7

Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership and Chesapeake Operating, Inc. (“Chesapeake”)

In January 2006, the Company entered into a joint operating agreement evidencing its acquisition of a 5% interest in two gas wells being drilled and ultimately operated by Chesapeake.  The Company relied on the cost projections provided by Chesapeake to make its investment decision.  Subsequent to its investment the Company received an invoice from Chesapeake for $556,217 which, according to Chesapeake, represents the Company’s 5% share of additional costs incurred by Chesapeake in drilling the wells.  The Company believes that these additional costs far exceed any reasonable expense that should have been incurred in drilling the two wells and were incurred without notifying the Company of such expenses.  The Company has requested an accounting of the additional expenses and a reconciliation of the final costs to the cost estimates previously presented.  In April 2007, Chesapeake filed a lawsuit against the Company and others in State District Court in Tarrant County, Texas.

In March 2011, Chesapeake received a summary judgment award for $686,874 plus legal fees.  The Company has appealed the judge’s ruling. However, the Company has recorded the investment in the wells and the obligation to Chesapeake.

Yazoo Pipeline Company, LP and Sterling Exploration and Production Company (“Sterling”)

Sterling Exploration and Production Company was an oil and gas exploration and production company with offshore production and Yazoo Pipeline Company transported Sterling’s and others oil and gas to shore for delivery to purchasers. On December 23, 2008, Sterling filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief.

In 2009, we attempted to acquire Sterling and invested a total of approximately $400,000 including debtor in possession financing paid to Sterling and other expenses. In 2009, we wrote off $50,000 of our investment. In 2010, the potential acquisition was abandoned and in the second quarter of 2010, we wrote off the balance of our investment. The bankruptcy of Sterling was ultimately converted to a Chapter 7 filing.

In December 2010, the bankruptcy trustee filed a lawsuit against a number of parties including New Concept Energy, Inc with a variety of allegations including that we conspired with other defendants or aided and abetted others in a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the debtors of Sterling.

We are unaware of any misconduct on our part and see no merit to this case as it pertains to us.

Other

The Company has been named as a defendant in other lawsuits in the ordinary course of business.  Management is of the opinion that these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE G: – NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We have considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to our operations and the preparation of our consolidated statements, including that which we have not yet adopted.  We do not believe that any such guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results or operation.

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 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.

Page 9

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note B 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.

Oil and Gas Property Accounting

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties.  Under this method of accounting, all costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties (including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, geological expenditures, dry hole costs, tangible and intangible development costs and direct internal costs) are capitalized as the cost of oil and natural gas properties when incurred.

The full cost method requires the Company to calculate quarterly, by cost center, a “ceiling,” or limitation on the amount of properties that can be capitalized on the balance sheet.  To the extent capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, less accumulated depletion and related deferred taxes exceed the sum of the discounted future net revenues of proved oil and natural gas reserves, the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties subject to amortization, the cost of properties not being amortized, and the related tax amounts, such excess capitalized costs are charged to expense.  Beginning December 31, 2009, full cost companies use the unweighted arithmetic average first day of the month price for oil and natural gas for the 12-month period preceding the calculation date to calculate the future net revenues of proved reserves.  Prior to December 31, 2009, companies used the price in effect at the calculation date and had the option, under certain circumstances, to elect to use subsequent commodity prices if they increased after the calculation date.

The Company assesses any unproved oil and gas properties on an annual basis for possible impairment or reduction in value.  The Company assesses properties on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant.  The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned.  During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment of unproved properties not subject to amortization, the associated costs incurred to date for such properties are then included in unproved properties subject to amortization.

Oil and Gas Reserves

Our proved oil and gas reserves are estimated by independent petroleum engineers.  Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof, including evaluations and extrapolations of well flow rates and reservoir pressure.  Estimates by different engineers often vary, sometimes significantly.  In addition, physical factors such as the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, may justify revision of such estimates.  Because proved reserves are required to be estimated using prices at the date of the evaluation, estimated reserve quantities can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of producing properties is computed on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved oil and gas reserves.  While total DD&A expense for the life of a property is limited to the property’s total cost, proved reserve revisions result in a change in timing of when DD&A expense is recognized.  Downward revisions of proved reserves result in an acceleration of DD&A expense, while upward revisions tend to lower the rate of DD&A expense recognition.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes in such cash flows are prepared using assumptions required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such assumptions include using year-end oil and gas prices and year-end costs for estimated future development and production expenditures.  Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using a 10% rate.  Changes in any of these assumptions could have a significant impact on the standardized measure.  Accordingly, the standardized measure does not represent management’s estimated current market value of proved reserves.

Page 10

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 September 30, 2011, 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 September 30, 2011, the Company had current assets of $238,000 and current liabilities of $475,000.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2011 were $2,000 as compared to $59,000 at December 31, 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $326,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  During the nine-month period, the Company had net income of $106,000.

Net cash used in investing activities was $374,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, consisting principally of drilling costs and the purchase of equipment at the Company’s retirement facility.

Net cash used in financing activities was $9,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, consisting of repayment of loans to a bank.

Results of Operations

The Company reported a net loss of $57,000 and a gain of $106,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a net gain of $188,000 and a loss of $127,000 for the comparable periods of 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded oil and gas revenues, net of royalties of $313,000 and $873,000 as compared to $349,000 and $950,000 for the comparable period of 2010.  The changes in oil & gas revenue was due changes in the price of oil and gas in the marketplace.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded revenues of $690,000 and $2,152,000 from its retirement property compared to $763,000 and $2.217,000 for the comparable periods in 2010.  The variances between comparable periods is due to occupancy fluctuations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded oil and gas operating expenses of $325,000 and $1,025,000 as compared to $320,000 and $992,000 for the comparable period of 2010.  The increase was due to an increase in drilling and related expenses.

Page 11

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, operating expenses and lease expense at the retirement property were $632,000 and $1,727,000 as compared to $541,000 and $1,707,000 for the comparable periods in 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, corporate general & administrative expenses were $101,000 and $351,000 as compared to $124,000 and $447,000 for the comparable periods in 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to decreased payroll costs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, interest income was $121,000 and $360,000 as compared to $122,000 and $375,000 for the comparable periods in 2010.  

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 rents from a retirement community and fees for services rendered.  The real estate operation is affected by rental rates that are highly dependent upon market conditions and the competitive environment in the areas where the property is located.  Compensation to employees and maintenance are the principal cost elements relative to the operation of this property.  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 or that, should inflationary pressures arise, the Company will be able to offset such costs by increasing rental rates in its real estate operation.

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 affect 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

Nearly all of the Company’s debt is financed at fixed rates of interest.  Therefore, the Company has minimal risk from exposure to changes in interest rates.

Page 12

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.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Concept Energy, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NCE” or the “Company”).  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.  Certain 2010 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

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.

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, 2010.  Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

On September 30, 2011, the Company had a loan receivable plus accrued interest of $10,007,000 from Prime Income Asset Management, Inc. (“PIAMI”) a related party.  The loan bears interest at the prime rate plus two percent and is due within 30 days following a demand by the Company.  If no demand is made the note will become due on January 31, 2013.

While the notes receivable by their terms are demand notes the Company does not anticipate making demand on such notes during the next twelve months and has therefore not classified the notes as being a current asset.

NOTE E: CONTINGENCIES

Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership and Chesapeake Operating, Inc. (“Chesapeake”)

In January 2006, the Company entered into a joint operating agreement evidencing its acquisition of a 5% interest in two gas wells being drilled and ultimately operated by Chesapeake.  The Company relied on the cost projections provided by Chesapeake to make its investment decision.  Subsequent to its investment the Company received an invoice from Chesapeake for $556,217 which, according to Chesapeake, represents the Company’s 5% share of additional costs incurred by Chesapeake in drilling the wells.  The Company believes that these additional costs far exceed any reasonable expense that should have been incurred in drilling the two wells and were incurred without notifying the Company of such expenses.  The Company has requested an accounting of the additional expenses and a reconciliation of the final costs to the cost estimates previously presented.  In April 2007, Chesapeake filed a lawsuit against the Company and others in State District Court in Tarrant County, Texas.

In March 2011, Chesapeake received a summary judgment award for $686,874 plus legal fees.  The Company has appealed the judge’s ruling. However, the Company has recorded the investment in the wells and the obligation to Chesapeake.

Yazoo Pipeline Company, LP and Sterling Exploration and Production Company (“Sterling”)

Sterling Exploration and Production Company was an oil and gas exploration and production company with offshore production and Yazoo Pipeline Company transported Sterling’s and others oil and gas to shore for delivery to purchasers. On December 23, 2008, Sterling filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief.

In 2009, we attempted to acquire Sterling and invested a total of approximately $400,000 including debtor in possession financing paid to Sterling and other expenses. In 2009, we wrote off $50,000 of our investment. In 2010, the potential acquisition was abandoned and in the second quarter of 2010, we wrote off the balance of our investment. The bankruptcy of Sterling was ultimately converted to a Chapter 7 filing.

In December 2010, the bankruptcy trustee filed a lawsuit against a number of parties including New Concept Energy, Inc with a variety of allegations including that we conspired with other defendants or aided and abetted others in a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the debtors of Sterling.

We are unaware of any misconduct on our part and see no merit to this case as it pertains to us.
