NEW CONCEPT ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. 

The unaudited condensed 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.

The Company is evaluating business opportunities to provide both additional income and cash flow.

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 ended December 31, 2023.  Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

NOTE B: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company owns approximately 190 acres of land located in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Located on the land are four structures totaling approximately 53,000 square feet. Of this total area the main industrial/office building contains approximately 24,800 square feet of which approximately 16,000 square feet is leased at a rate of $101,000 per annum.

In August 2020, the Company sold its oil and gas operations to a third party. On January 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Consulting Management Agreement with respect to such oil and gas operations; whereby, the Company would provide management, supervisory and administrative services for a fee of 10% of the gross revenue of such oil and gas operations. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon sixty days’ notice.

NOTE C: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We consider accounting policies related to our estimates of depreciation, amortization, leases, and 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, 2023.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this guidance, the Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied by analyzing exchanges with its customers using a five-step approach (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligation in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract(s); and (5) recognize the revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.  The Company derives revenue from rental income from property leases and consulting management fees. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of risk of loss to the customer. Revenue related to rental income from property leases are recognized monthly and consulting management fees are recognized quarterly as they are earned over a period of time.  

8

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting for income taxes. In the event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance is provided for a portion or all of the deferred tax assets when there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years. Recognition of the benefits of deferred tax assets will require the Company to generate future taxable income. There is no assurance that the Company will generate earnings in future years. Since management could not determine the likelihood that the benefit of the deferred tax asset would be realized, no deferred tax asset was recognized by the Company.

NOTE D – RELATED PARTIES

Beginning in 2011 Pillar Income Asset Management (“Pillar”) became an advisor to the Company. Pillar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Advisors, Inc. Mr. Bertcher serves as a director of Pillar. The Company has conducted business with Pillar whereby Pillar provides the Company with services including processing payroll, acquiring insurance, Information Technology, Cybersecurity and other administrative matters. The Company believes that by purchasing these services through Pillar it can get lower costs and better service.

Until August 31, 2024 the arrangement between the Company and Pillar has been on an informal basis. Effective September 1, 2024 the Company and Pillar have entered into a formal agreement whereby Pillar will provide certain management administrative and advisory services for an agreed upon fee. The fee for Pillar’s services for the month of September 2024 was $3,000.

NOTE E:  CONCENTRATIONS

The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that participate in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program which insures depositors up to $250,000. At September 30, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses with respect to its bank balances in excess of government provided insurance. Management believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances at September 30, 2024.

NOTE F:  NOTE RECEIVABLE

The Company has a Note Receivable from American Realty Investors, Inc. (a related party) in the amount of $3,542,000 at September 30, 2024. The note bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) at the end of each calendar quarter (5.33% at September 30, 2024) and is due at September 30, 2027.

NOTE G – INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of the change in tax rates on deferred tax assets are liabilities recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. If we determine that we would be able to release our deferred tax asset in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

At September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7.5 million, which expires between 2024 and 2039.

The Company has no assurance as to if and when the benefit of NOL carryforwards will be realized, therefore, a valuation allowance on the related deferred tax assets has been recorded.

Forms 1120, U.S, Corporation Income Tax Returns are subject to examination, by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.

NOTE H:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 13, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued and determined that there are none to be reported.

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 condensed 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.

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

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, 2024, 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, 2024, the Company had current assets of $456,000 and current liabilities of $61,000.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 were $430,000 as compared to $447,000 at December 31, 2023.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the same period in 2023

The Company reported a net loss of $4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net income of $7,000 for the similar period in 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 the Company had revenue of $37,000 including $26,000 for rental revenue and $11,000 for management fees as compared to revenue of $35,000 including $25,000 for rental revenue and $10,000 for management fees for the comparative period in 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, corporate general & administrative expenses were $79,000 as compared to $70,000 for the comparable period in 2023.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the same period in 2023

The Company reported net income of $1,000 for nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net income of $18,000 for the similar period in 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company had revenue of $110,000 including $76,000 for rental revenue and $34,000 for management fees as compared to revenue of $115,000 including $76,000 for rental revenue and $39,000 for management fees for the comparative period in 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, corporate general & administrative expenses were $235,000 as compared to $219,000 for the comparable period in 2023. 

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 rent fees for services rendered and interest income. 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.

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 effect 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 property is 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

The Company has extinguished all its outstanding debt therefore, the Company has minimal risk from exposure to changes in interest rates.

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 the 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE C: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We consider accounting policies related to our estimates of depreciation, amortization, leases, and 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, 2023.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this guidance, the Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied by analyzing exchanges with its customers using a five-step approach (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligation in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract(s); and (5) recognize the revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.  The Company derives revenue from rental income from property leases and consulting management fees. The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of risk of loss to the customer. Revenue related to rental income from property leases are recognized monthly and consulting management fees are recognized quarterly as they are earned over a period of time.  

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting for income taxes. In the event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance is provided for a portion or all of the deferred tax assets when there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years. Recognition of the benefits of deferred tax assets will require the Company to generate future taxable income. There is no assurance that the Company will generate earnings in future years. Since management could not determine the likelihood that the benefit of the deferred tax asset would be realized, no deferred tax asset was recognized by the Company.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

NOTE G – INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of the change in tax rates on deferred tax assets are liabilities recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. If we determine that we would be able to release our deferred tax asset in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

At September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7.5 million, which expires between 2024 and 2039.

The Company has no assurance as to if and when the benefit of NOL carryforwards will be realized, therefore, a valuation allowance on the related deferred tax assets has been recorded.

Forms 1120, U.S, Corporation Income Tax Returns are subject to examination, by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.
