New Concept Energy, Inc. owns approximately 190 acres of land in Parkersburg, West Virginia, where four structures provide about 53,000 square feet of industrial and office space. The company leases a portion of its main building to tenants and offers advisory, accounting and management services to an oil and gas well operator under a revenue sharing agreement. In addition to these core activities, New Concept Energy, Inc. maintains property and liability insurance, employs two individuals directly and contracts the remainder of its work to third parties, and provides investors with access to its filings and corporate governance documents through its website.

Second, under a Consulting Management Agreement effective January 1, 2022, New Concept Energy, Inc. receives 10% of the gross revenue produced by the oil and gas wells it previously owned, in exchange for providing advisory, accounting and management services to the current well owner.
