                               NEW CONCEPT ENERGY
                       REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

Dallas,  Texas (Business Wire) August 15, 2008: New Concept Energy,  Inc. (AMEX:
GBR),  ("the  Company"  or  "NCE"),  a  Dallas-based  company  investing  in and
developing  oil and gas leases,  today  reported net income of $14.9  million or
$7.73 per share and $15  million or $7.84 per share for the three and six months
ended  June 30,  2008,  compared  to net losses of $6,000 or $0.01 per share and
$433,000 or $0.44 per share for the same periods in 2007.

In November  2007, a wholly owned  subsidiary of NCE acquired 1,712 net acres of
mineral   leasehold   interests  in  four  separate  sections  of  land  in  the
Fayetteville  Shale area of Arkansas from a related party. The acquisition price
was $4,000 per net acre.  The subsidiary  also acquired two separate  options to
acquire additional  leasehold  interests of 1,815 net acres and 583 net acres in
the same county in Arkansas at the same price of $4,000 per net acre.

At the time of the  acquisition it was the Company's  intention,  subject to the
availability  of funds, to develop and drill gas wells on the acreage however an
opportunity  developed  where the Company  could sell the  mineral  rights to an
independent third party for cash.

On May 9, 2008 the company exercised its options to acquire the additional 2,398
acres and completed a sale of all its 4,112 acres of mineral rights. The company
received cash and recorded income before taxes of $16,440,000.

The Company is now attempting to acquire other oil and gas interests.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded  revenues
of $699,000 and $1.4 million  from a real estate  property  compared to $761,000
and $1.5 million for the same periods in 2007.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,  operating  expenses and lease
expense at the retirement property were $550,000 and $1.1 million as compared to
$543,000 and $1.1 million for the same periods in 2007.

For  the  three  and six  months  ended  June  30,  2008,  corporate  general  &
administrative  expenses  were $264,000 and $525,000 as compared to $251,000 and
$474,000 for the same periods in 2007.


<PAGE>

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,  interest  income was $198,000
and  $250,000 as compared to $27,000 and  $111,000 for the same periods in 2007.
The increases are due to the Company's increased  investment in interest bearing
notes.

The Company  recorded  interest  expense for the three and six months ended June
30,  2008,  of $68,000 and  $230,000 as compared to no interest  expense for the
same  periods  in 2007.  A wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Company  purchased
leasehold interests in November 2007 in approximately 1,712 acres of land in the
Fayetteville  Shale area of Arkansas in exchange  for a $6.8  million  note with
interest at 9.5% per annum.

Other  income was  $148,000 and $412,000 for the three and six months ended June
30,  2008,  as compared to no other  income and $10,000 for the same  periods in
2007. The increase in the period ended March 31, 2008 was principally due to the
collection of back interest from a mortgage bond receivable due to the sale of a
property in August  2001.  Because the mortgage  bond was payable  based on cash
flow and profit of the property, the uncollected interest was not recorded until
collected.  The  increase  during  the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2008 was
principally due to the collection of a note that was previously written off.
