Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A –BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND PRESENTATION

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 as of December 31, 2024 approximately 16,000 square feet is leased for$101,000 per annum.

In August 2020, the Company sold its oil and gas wells and mineral leases which were located in Ohio and West Virginia.

The Company’s ability to meet current cash obligations relies on cash received from operations and the collection of notes receivable, including a $3.5 million dollar note receivable from a related party.

NOTE B -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Concept Energy, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” New Concept or “NCE”) and are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America “GAAP.” All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain accounting balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.

Depreciation expense, which is included in operating expenses, was $13,000 for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term deposits and money market investments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Impairment of Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are identified as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the note agreements. The accrual of interest is discontinued on such notes, and no income is recognized until all past due amounts of principal and interest are recovered in full.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and eventually disposing of them. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the asset’s fair value.

The Company determines the fair value of assets to be disposed of and records the asset at the lower of fair value, less disposal costs or carrying value. Assets are not depreciated while held for disposal.

Sales of Real Estate

Gains on sales of real estate are recognized to the extent permitted by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360-20, “Real Estate Sales – Real Estate Sales”, (“ASC 360-20”). Until the requirements of ASC 360-20 have been met for full profit recognition, sales are accounted for by the installment or cost recovery method, whichever is appropriate.

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.

Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

NOTE C –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 for services and fees, 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 year ended December 31, 2024 was $12,000.

NOTE D -NOTE RECEIVABLE

Note Receivable is comprised of the following at December 31, (in thousands):

Schedule of notes receivable
20242023
American Realty Investors, Inc. (a related party) receivable upon maturity at September 30, 2027$3,542$3,542

The note bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing rate at the end of each calander quarter (4.96% at December 31, 2024).

Buildings and improvements372352
Total fixed assets804784

Net Fixed Assets$636$629

NOTE F –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 December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6.5 million, of which$4.8 million expire between 2025 and 2036 and $1.7 million that do not expire.

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, for the years ending December 31, 2024 and 2023 are subject to examination, by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.
