These translations are done via Google Translate

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018. During the three months ended December 31, 2018 the Company reported a net loss of $55,000 or ($0.005) per share, compared to a net loss of $2,851,000 or ($1.39) per share for the same period ended December 31, 2017

For the full year ended December 31, 2018 the Company reported a net loss of $484,000 or ($0.21) per share, compared to a net loss of $3,246,000 or ($1.59) per share for the same period ended December 31, 2017.

On December 4, 2018, the Company issued an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to a single investor for cash of $4,500,000 to increase stockholders’ equity by $4,440,000 after issuance costs. The issuance of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock resulted in a change in control of the Company, as the investor now owns approximately 59.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. The issuance of the 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock increased the total number of shares issued and outstanding to 5,131,935 shares.

Revenues: Total revenues from the oil & gas operation was $682,000 in 2018 and $791,000 in 2017. The decrease was due to the rate the Company received for the sale of its natural gas during 2018.

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for continuing oil & gas operations was $844,000 in 2018 and $1,027, 000 in 2017. This decrease was principally due to a reduction of depreciation and depletion expense of $73,000. The remaining decrease was the result of an overall reduction in operating expenses.

In 2017 pursuant to the requirements of the “full cost ceiling test” for oil & gas companies we recorded a non-cash charge to operations of $2.6 million to write down its investment in Ohio and West Virginia. This charge to earnings was caused by a revaluation of the Company’s non-producing oil and gas reserves.

Corporate Expenses were $353,000 in 2018 and $408,000 in 2017. The decrease was principally due to a reduction in payroll expenses.

Interest Expense: Interest Expense was $18,000 in 2018 as compared to $24,000 in 2017. The decrease was due to a reduction in the long-term debt.
