PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 10, 2022
The Board of Directors of New
Concept Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “us”) is soliciting proxies to
be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”).
Distribution of this Proxy Statement and a Proxy Form is scheduled to begin on October 17, 2022. The mailing address of the Company's
principal executive offices is 1603 LBJ Freeway, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75234.
About the Meeting
Who Can Vote
Record holders of Common Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock of the Company at the close of business on Tuesday, October 11, 2022 (the “Record Date”),
may vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 5,131,934 shares of Common Stock and 559 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding.
Each share is entitled to cast one vote.
How You Can Vote
If you return your signed proxy
before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. You can specify whether your shares should be voted for all, some or
none of the nominees for director. You can also specify whether you approve, disapprove or abstain from the other proposal to ratify the
selection of auditors.
If a proxy is executed and returned
but no instructions are given, the shares will be voted according to the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors
recommends a vote FOR both Proposals 1 and 2.
Revocation of Proxies
You may revoke your proxy at any
time before it is exercised by (a) delivering a written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary, (b) delivering another proxy
that is dated later than the original proxy, or (c) casting your vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Your last vote will be the vote
that is counted.
Vote Required
The holders of a majority of the
shares entitled to vote who are either present in person or represented by a proxy at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. As of October 11, 2022, there were 5,131,934 shares of Common Stock and 559 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast at least 2,566,247
votes constitutes a quorum for adopting the proposals at the Annual Meeting. If you have properly signed and returned your proxy card
by mail, you will be considered part of the quorum, and the persons named on the proxy card will vote your shares as you have instructed.
If the broker holding your shares in “street” name indicates to us on a proxy card that the broker lacks
discretionary authority to vote your shares, we will
not consider your shares as present or entitled to vote for any purpose.
A plurality of the votes cast
is required for the election of directors. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular slot is elected to
that slot. A proxy that has properly withheld authority with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect
to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.
For the other two proposals, the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy entitled to vote on the proposal will be
required for approval. An abstention with respect to such proposal will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining
whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.
If you received multiple proxy
cards, this indicates that your shares are held in more than one account, such as two brokerage accounts, and are registered in different
names. You should vote each of the proxy cards to ensure that all your shares are voted.
Other Matters to be Acted Upon at the Annual Meeting
We do not know of any other matters
to be validly presented or acted upon at the Annual Meeting. Under our Bylaws, no business besides that stated in the Annual Meeting Notice
may be transacted at any meeting of stockholders. If any other matter is presented at the Annual Meeting on which a vote may be properly
taken, the shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting those shares.
Expenses of Solicitation
The Company is making this solicitation
and will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes.
Some of our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies personally, without any additional compensation, by telephone or mail.
Proxy materials will also be furnished without cost to brokers and other nominees to forward to the beneficial owners of shares held in
their names.

stockholder does not request continuation of duplicate mailings. Depending upon the practices of your broker, bank or other nominee, you
may need to contact them directly to continue duplicate mailings to your household. If you wish to revoke your consent to house holding,
you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee.

Role of the Board's
Committees
The Board of Directors has standing
Audit, Governance and Nominating, and Compensation Committees.
Audit Committee.
The functions of the Audit Committee are described below under the heading “Report of the Audit Committee.” The Audit
Committee is an “audit committee” for purposes of Section 3(a)(58) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
charter of the Audit Committee was adopted on December 12, 2003, and is available on the Company's
Investor Relations website (www.newconceptenergy.com). The Audit Committee was initially
formed on December 12, 2003. All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent within the meaning of the SEC regulations, the
listing standards of the NYSE American (formerly, the American Stock Exchange) and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Mr. Locklear, a member and Chair of the Committee, is qualified as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning
of SEC regulations and the Board has determined that he has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning
of the listing standards of the NYSE American. All of the members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and experience requirements
of the listing standards of the NYSE American. The Audit Committee met four times in 2021.
Governance and Nominating
Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for developing and implementing policies and practices relating
to corporate governance, including reviewing and monitoring implementation of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
In addition, the Committee develops and reviews background information on candidates for the Board and makes recommendations to the Board
regarding such candidates. The Committee also prepares and supervises the Board's
annual review of director independence and the Board’s performance self-evaluation. The charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee
was adopted on October 20, 2004,
and is available on the Company's
Investor Relations website (www.newconceptenergy.com). The Governance and Nominating Committee
was initially formed on October 20, 2004. All of the members of the Governance and Nominating Committee are independent within the meaning
of the listing standards of the NYSE American and the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Governance and Nominating
Committee met two times in 2021.
Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the policies of the Company relating to compensation to be paid by the Company
to the Company’s principal executive officer and any other officers designated by the Board and make recommendations to the Board
with respect to such policies, produce necessary reports on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company's
proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations and to monitor the development and implementation of succession plans
for the principal executive officer and other key executives and make recommendations to the Board with respect to such plans. The charter
of the Compensation Committee was adopted on October 20, 2004, and is available on the Company’s Investor Relations website (www.newconceptenergy.com).
The Compensation Committee was initially formed on October 20, 2004. All of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent
within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE American and the Company's
Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Compensation Committee is to be comprised of at least three directors who are independent
of management and the Company. The Compensation Committee met two times in 2021.
Presiding Director
On November 8, 2011, the Board
created a new position of Presiding Director, whose primary responsibility is to preside over periodic executive sessions of the Board
in which management directors and other members of management do not participate. The Presiding Director also advises the Chairman of
the Board and, as appropriate, Committee chairs with respect to agendas and information needs relating to Board and Committee meetings,
provides advice with respect to the selection of Committee chairs and perform other duties that the Board may from time to time delegate
to assist the Board in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. The nonmanagement members of the Board designated Dan Locklear to serve
in this position until the Company's annual meeting of stockholders to be held
following the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (i.e., this meeting).
Selection of Nominees for the Board
The Governance and Nominating
Committee will consider candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and stockholders.
The Committee may also retain a third-party executive search firm to identify candidates upon request of the Committee from time to time.
A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for the Board should notify the Company's Corporate Secretary or any member
of the Governance and Nominating Committee in writing with whatever supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. The Governance
and Nominating Committee will also consider whether to nominate any person nominated by a stockholder pursuant to the provisions of the
Company's bylaws relating to stockholder nominations.
Once the Governance and Nominating
Committee has identified a prospective nominee, the Committee will make an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation
of the candidate. This initial determination will be based on whatever information is provided to the Committee with the recommendation
of the prospective candidate, as well as the Committee's own knowledge of the prospective candidate, which may be supplemented by inquiries
to the person making the recommendation or others. The preliminary determination will be based primarily on the need for additional Board
members to fill vacancies or expand the size of the Board and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the evaluation factors
described below. If the Committee determines, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other Board members as appropriate, that
additional consideration is warranted, it may request
the third-party search firm to gather additional information
about the prospective nominee's background and experience and to report its findings to the Committee. The Committee will then evaluate
the prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set out in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, including:
● the
ability of the prospective nominee to represent the interests of the stockholders of the Company;
● the
prospective nominee's standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment;
● the
prospective nominee's ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and, attention to the diligent performance of his or her duties, including
the prospective nominee's service on other public company boards, as specifically set out in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines;
● the
extent to which the prospective nominee contributes to the range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the Board;
● the
extent to which the prospective nominee helps the Board reflect the diversity of the Company's stockholders, employees, customers, guests
and communities; and
● the
willingness of the prospective nominee to meet any minimum equity interest holding guideline.
The Committee also considers such other relevant factors
as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of management and independent directors, the need
for Audit Committee expertise and the evaluations of other prospective nominees. In connection with this evaluation, the Committee determines
whether to interview the prospective nominee, and if warranted, one or more members of the Committee, and others as appropriate, interview
prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Committee makes a recommendation to
the full Board as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board, and the Board determines the nominees after considering the recommendation
and report of the Committee.
The Bylaws of the Company provide
that any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors
at a meeting only if one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice of such stockholders'
intention to make such nomination has been delivered personally to, or has been mailed to and received by the Board of Directors at the
principal office of the Company with a copy to the President and Secretary of the Company. If a stockholder has a suggestion for candidates
for election, the stockholder should follow this procedure. Each notice from a stockholder must set forth (i) the name and address of
the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and the name of the person to be nominated, (ii) the class and number of shares
of stock held of record, owned beneficially and represented by proxy by such stockholder as of the record date for the meeting and as
of the date of such notice, (iii) a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to
nominate the person specified in the notice, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each
nominee and any other person (naming those persons) pursuant to which the nomination is to be made by such stockholder, (v) such other
information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant
to the proxy rules, and (vi) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Company if so elected. The chairman of the Annual
Meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with this procedure.
Determinations of Director Independence
In October 2004, the Board enhanced
its Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Guidelines adopted by the Board meet or exceed the new listing standards adopted
during the year by the American Stock Exchange. The full text of the Guidelines can be found in the Investor Relations section
of the Company's website (www.newconceptenergy.com). A copy may also be obtained upon request
from the Company's Corporate Secretary.
Pursuant to the Guidelines,
the Board undertook its annual review of director independence in December 2021. During this review, the Board considered transactions
and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates,
including those reported under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below. The Board also examined transactions
and relationships between directors or their affiliates and members of the Company's senior management or their affiliates. As provided
in the Guidelines, the purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent
with a determination that the director is independent.
As a result of this review, the
Board affirmatively determined that the then directors, Messrs. Locklear, Lund, Humphrey and Roberts and Ms. Maynard, are each independent
of the Company and its management under the standards set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Directors'
Service for Other Publicly Held Entities
Raymond D. Roberts, Sr. serves
as a member of the Audit Committee of this Company as well as three other corporations which are part of a consolidated group for financial
statement reporting purposes, all of which are involved in another industry, the common stock of each of which is listed and available
for trading on the NYSE and/or NYSE American, thus making four entities for which Mr. Roberts serves in a similar capacity. The Board
has determined, after discussion, that the fact that three of the entities are part of a consolidated group requires Mr. Roberts to be
familiar with the financial reporting requirements and standards of each of those entities due to the fact of consolidation and does
not create an additional burden upon Mr. Roberts but also confers a benefit on each of those three entities, as it may well save on Mr.
Roberts’ time and responsibility. This entity (and the other three consolidated entities) has no specific policy or prohibition upon Mr.
Roberts' or any other person's
service to any other publicly held entities, but the members of this Board periodically review other relationships among Committee and
Board members with other independent entities to ensure that no conflict exists and, in fact, have confirmed that Mr. Roberts'
service to other entities in other industries benefits the expertise of Mr. Roberts and the Company.
Board Meetings During Fiscal 2021
The Board met five times during
fiscal 2021. Each director attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and Committees on which he served. Under the Company's
Corporate Governance Guidelines, each Director is expected to dedicate sufficient time, energy an attention to ensure the diligent
performance of his or her duties, including by attending meetings of the stockholders of the Company, the Board and Committees of which
he is a member. In addition, the independent directors met in executive session four times during fiscal 2021.
Directors'
Compensation
Each nonemployee director currently
receives an annual retainer of $2,500 plus a meeting fee of $2,000 plus reimbursement for expenses. The Company also reimburses directors
for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending Board, committee and stockholder meetings and for other
Company/business related expenses. Directors who are
also employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for service as a director.
During 2021, $42,000 was paid
to the nonemployee directors in total directors' fees for all services, including
the annual fee for service during the period from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. Those fees received by directors were Dan
Locklear ($10,500), Cecelia Maynard ($10,500), Richard W. Humphrey ($4,000) and Raymond D. Roberts, Sr. ($10,500).
Stockholders’ Communication
with the Board
Stockholders and other parties
interested in communicating directly with the presiding director or with the nonmanagement directors as a group may do so by writing to
Dan Locklear, Director, P. O. Box 830163, Richardson, Texas 75083-0160. Effective October 20, 2004, the Governance and Nominating Committee
of the Board also approved a process for handling letters received by the Company and addressed to members of the Board but received at
the Company. Under that process, the Corporate Secretary of the Company reviews all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the
Board a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of the Corporate Secretary, deals with
the functions of the Board or committees thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review
a log of all correspondence received by the Company that is addressed to members of the Board and received by the Company and request
copies of any such correspondence. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters are immediately brought to the
attention of the Chairman of the Audit Committee and handled in accordance with procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect
to such matters.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all directors, officers and employees (including those of the contractual advisor). In
addition, on October 20, 2004, the Company adopted a code of ethics entitled “Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers”
that applies to the principal executive officer, president, principal financial officer, chief financial officer, the principal accounting
officer and controller. The text of both documents is available on the Company's Investor Relations website (www.newconceptenergy.com).
The Company intends to post amendments to or waivers from its Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers (to the extent applicable to
the Company's chief executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) at this location on its website.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of Reporting Requirements
Section 16(a) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and any persons holding 10% or more of the Company's
shares of Common Stock are required to report their ownership of the Company’s shares of Common Stock and any changes in that ownership
to the SEC on specified report forms. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report
any failure to file by these dates during each fiscal year. All of these filing requirements were satisfied by the Company's
directors and executive officers and holders of more than 10% of the Company's
Common Stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In making these statements, the Company has relied upon the written representations
of its directors and executive officers and the holders of 10% or more of the Company's
Common Stock and copies of the reports that each has filed with the SEC.

Report of the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors
The Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors is composed of three directors, each of whom satisfies the requirements of independence, experience and financial literacy
under the requirements of the NYSE American and the SEC. The Audit Committee has directed the preparation of this report and has approved
its content and submission to the stockholders.
The Audit Committee is responsible
for, among other things:
● retaining
and overseeing the independent registered public accounting firm that serves as our independent auditor and evaluating their performance
and independence;
● reviewing
the annual audit plan with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;
● preapproving
any permitted non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;
● approving
the fees to be paid to our independent registered public accounting firm;
● reviewing
the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls with management, internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting
firm;
● reviewing
and discussing the annual audited financial statements and the interim unaudited financial statements with management and the registered
public accounting firm; and
● approving
our internal audit plan and reviewing reports of our internal auditors.
The Audit Committee operates under
a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Committee's responsibilities
are set forth in this charter which is available on our website at www.newconceptenergy.com.
The Audit Committee assists the
Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the adequacy
of the Company's system of internal controls, the Company’s risk management,
the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent
auditors' qualifications and independence, and the performance of the Company’s
independent auditors. The Committee has sole authority over the selection of the Company’s independent auditors and manages the
Company’s relationship with its independent auditors. The Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from outside
legal, accounting or other advisors as the Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties and receive appropriate funding, as determined
by the Committee, from the Company for such advice and assistance.
The Committee met four times
during 2021. The Committee schedules its meetings with a view to ensuring that it devotes appropriate attention to all of its tasks.
The Committee's meetings include private sessions with the Company’s independent
auditors without the presence of the Company's management, as well as executive
sessions consisting of only Committee members. The Committee also meets senior management from time to time.
Management has the primary responsibility
for the Company’s financial reporting process, including its system of internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation
of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements in accordance with professional standards
and expressing an opinion as to their material conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and for auditing management’s
assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting. The Committee's
responsibility is to monitor and review the Company’s financial reporting process and
discuss management’s report on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting. It is
not the Committee's duty or responsibility
to conduct audits or accounting reviews or procedures. The Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s
representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and on the opinion of the independent registered public accountants included in their
report on the Committee’s financial statements.
As part of its oversight of the
Company’s financial statements, the Committee reviews and discusses with both management and the Company's
independent registered public accountants all annual and quarterly financial statements prior to their issuance. During 2021, management
advised the Committee that each set of financial statements reviewed had been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, and reviewed significant accounting and disclosure issues with the Committee. These reviews
include discussions with the independent accountants of the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards), including the quality (not merely the acceptability) of the Company's
accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and disclosures
related to critical accounting practices. The Committee has also discussed with Swalm & Associates, P.C. matters relating to its
independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees, and written disclosures from Swalm & Associates, P.C. to the Company
pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). The Committee also considered
whether non-audit services, provided by the independent accountants are compatible with the independent accountant's
independence. The Company also received regular updates on the amount of fees and scope of audit, audit related, and tax services provided.
In addition, the Committee reviewed
key initiatives and programs aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the Company's
internal and disclosure control structure. As part of this process, the Committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the Company's
internal controls, reviewed staffing levels and steps taken to implement recommended improvements in any internal procedures and controls.
Based on the Committee's
discussion with management and the independent accountants and the Committee's
review of the representation of management and the report of the independent accountants to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee
recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee
and the Board of Directors have also selected Swalm & Associates, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accountants
and auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (the “SO Act”), and the rules of the SEC, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the
appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. The purpose of the provisions of the SO Act and the SEC
rules for the Audit Committee role in retaining the independent auditor is twofold. First, the authority and responsibility for the appointment,
compensation and oversight of the auditors should be with directors who
are independent of management. Second, any non-audit
work performed by the auditors should be reviewed and approved by these same independent directors to ensure that any non-audit services
performed by the auditor do not impair the independence of the independent auditor. To implement the provisions of the SO Act, the SEC
issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, and governing the Audit
Committee's administration of
the engagement of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and
non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s
independence. Accordingly, the Audit Committee adopted on March 22, 2004 a written pre-approval policy of audit and non-audit services
(the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent
auditor are to be pre-approved. Consistent with the SEC rules establishing two different approaches to approving non-prohibited services,
the policy of the Audit Committee covers pre-approval of audit services, audit related services, international administration tax services,
non-U.S. income tax compliance services, pension and benefit plan consulting and compliance services, and U.S. tax compliance and planning.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor,
including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether
services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence
from management. Typically, in addition to the generally pre-approved services, other services would include due diligence for an acquisition
that may or may not have been known at the beginning of the year. The Audit Committee has also delegated to any member of the Audit Committee
designated by the Board or the financial expert member of the Audit Committee responsibilities to pre-approve services to be performed
by the independent auditor not exceeding $25,000 in value or cost per engagement of audit and non-audit services, and such authority
may only be exercised when the Audit Committee is not in session.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company has few employees,
and no payroll or benefit plans and pays compensation to only one executive officer. The following tables set forth the compensation in
all categories paid by the Company for services rendered during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, by the Principal
Executive Officer of the Company and to the other executive officers and Directors of the Company, whose total annual salaries in 2020
exceeded $100,000, the number of options granted to any of such persons during 2020 and the value of the unexercised options held by any
of such persons on December 31, 2021.

(1) Commencing
in February 2008, on a then interim basis, three other publicly held entities (Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., Transcontinental
Realty Investors, Inc., and American Realty Investors, Inc., each of which have the same contractual advisor, now Pillar Income Asset
Management, Inc. [“Pillar”]) arranged with the Company for accounting and administrative services of the Company,
specifically Gene S. Bertcher, who is a certified public accountant and had a long history in the industry in which such entities were
engaged. At the time, the Company, through Bertcher, was also providing accounting and administrative services to other entities on a
fee based arrangement to assist those entities when the Company had excess capacity and personnel to provide accounting services. Commencing
February 2008, Mr. Bertcher was elected as Officer and Chief Financial Officer of each of IOR, TCI, and ARL. As a compensation arrangement
evolved over time, the three entities agreed to reimburse the Company for one half of the gross compensation and related expenses of
Bertcher at the Company and, from and after December 31, 2010, arranged to provide office space for Mr. Bertcher and certain other Company
personnel rather than requiring operating out of two separate locations. Beginning January 1, 2011, the Company's
accounting department moved into offices maintained by the contractual advisor of the three entities, and the Company was then allowed
the use of certain administrative services, such as space on the contractual advisor’s
computer server, use of copiers, telephone services, and other related items. The Company has not been charged for the use of such office
space, computer services, telephone service, or other day-to-day cost of operating an office. Each of the three entities effectively
split the cost, generally, one third each. ARL (together with subsidiaries) owns in excess of 80% of the Common Stock of TCI, and TCI,
in turn, owns in excess of 80% of the Common Stock of IOR. The arrangement renews on an annual basis and is terminable on sixty (60)
days written notice. For purposes of the table set forth above, the net cost to the Company is 25% to 50% of the salary amount for each
year. The amount reflected in the table above is one quarter (2021, 2020 and 2019) of the total compensation for Mr. Bertcher, attributable
to the Company.

MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITY HOLDERS
None
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors is comprised of at least two directors who are independent of management and the Company. Each member of the
Compensation Committee must be determined to be independent by the Board under the Corporate Governance Guidelines on Director Independence
adopted by the Board and under the NYSE American standards for nonemployee directors and Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) of the rules and regulations
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the requirements for “outside directors” set forth in Treasury Regulations,
Section 27(e)(3). Each member of the Committee is to be free of any relationship that in the judgment of the Board from time to time may
interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment. Each Committee member is appointed annually subject to removal at any
time by the Board and serves until his or her Committee appointment is terminated by the Board. The Compensation Committee is composed
of three directors, each of whom meets the standards described above.
The purposes
of the Compensation Committee are to oversee the policies of the Company relating to compensation to be paid by the Company to the Company’s
principal executive officer (“CEO”) and any other officers designated by the Board and make recommendations to the Board with
respect to such policies, produce necessary reports and executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, in
accordance with applicable rules and regulations, and monitor the development and implementation of succession plans for the CEO and other
key executives and make recommendations to the Board with respect to such plans.
The Board of Directors determined
that the primary forms of executive compensation should be the incentive system discussed above. The Company’s performance is a
key consideration (to the extent that such performance can be fairly attributed or related to an executive’s performance) and each
executive’s responsibilities and capabilities are key considerations. The independent directors strive to
keep executive compensation competitive for comparable
positions in other corporations where possible. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes in equity compensation wherein executives
will be additionally rewarded based on increasing the Company’s stockholder value. Base salaries are predicated on a number of factors,
including:
● recommendation
of the CEO;
● knowledge
of similarly situated executives at other companies;
● the executive’s
position and responsibilities within the Company;
● the Board
of Directors’ subjective evaluation of the executive’s contribution to the Company’s performance;
● the executive’s
experience; and
● the term
of the executive’s tenure with the Company.
The charter of the Compensation
Committee was adopted on October 2, 2004, and the members of the Compensation Committee, all of whom are independent within the meaning
of the listing standards of the NYSE American and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, are listed below. Since its formation,
the Compensation Committee has annually reviewed its existing charter and regularly performed the tasks described above.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Company’s Compensation
Committee is made up of nonemployee directors who have never served as officers of, or been employed by the Company. None of the Company’s
executive officers serve on a board of directors of any entity that has a director or officer serving on this Committee.
Executive Officers
The only executive officer of
the Company is Gene S. Bertcher, Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive and Financial Officer. His age, term of service and
all positions and offices with the Company and other information is described above under “PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.”
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Historically, the Company has
engaged in and may continue to engage in business transactions, including real estate partnerships, with related parties. Management believes
that all of the related party transactions represented the best investments available at the time and were at least as advantageous to
the Company as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.
Beginning in 2011, Pillar became
the contractual advisor to the three other publically traded entities. In addition to the relationship with Mr. Bertcher, the Company
conducts business with Pillar, whereby Pillar provides the Company with services, including processing payroll, acquiring insurance and
other administrative matters. The Company believes that, by purchasing these services through certain large
entities, it can get lower costs and better service.
Pillar does not charge the Company a fee for providing these services. Pillar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Advisors, Inc., which
is the holder of 27.18% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
It is the policy of the Company
that all transactions between the Company and any officer or director, or any of their affiliates, must be approved by nonmanagement members
of the Board of Directors of the Company. All of the transactions described above were so approved.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors knows of
no other matters that may be properly or should be brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly brought
before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy or their substitutes will vote in accordance with their best judgment
on such matters.
