Organization
Daybreak
Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”, “Daybreak”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was originally
incorporated on March 11, 1955 under the laws of the State of Washington as
Daybreak Uranium, Inc. Daybreak was organized to explore for,
acquire, and develop mineral properties in the Western United
States. On May 4, 1964, our shareholders approved a name change to
Daybreak Mines, Inc. On March 1, 2005, Daybreak commenced operations
as an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development
and production of oil and gas. Until we have achieved significant and
sustainable positive cash flow our financial results will be presented as an
exploration stage company. On October 25, 2005, our shareholders
approved a name change to Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements for Daybreak have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15 (d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Operating results for the six months ended August 31, 2008
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending February 28, 2009.
The
audited financial statements at February 29, 2008, which are included in
Daybreak’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended February 29, 2008,
should be read in conjunction with these financial statements.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
115 (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value (the Fair Value
Option). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date,
unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the
Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment
to beginning retained earnings. If Daybreak elects the Fair Value
Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, it will report unrealized
gains and losses due to changes in fair value in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective March 1,
2008 for the Company. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have
any impact on its operating results, financial position or cash
flows.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This
pronouncement applies to other standards that require or permit fair value
measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new
fair value measurement.
8
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FSP FAS 157-2”).
FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of FAS 157 to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008 for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FAS
FSP 157-2 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning March 1,
2009. This statement did not have any impact on Daybreak’s financial
statements for the six months ended August 31, 2008.
Exploration
Stage Company
On March
1, 2005 (the inception of exploration stage), Daybreak commenced oil and gas
exploration and development activities. As of August 31, 2008, Daybreak has not
produced a sustainable positive cash flow from its oil and gas
operations. Accordingly, Daybreak’s activities have been accounted
for as those of an “Exploration Stage Enterprise” as set forth in SFAS No. 7,
“Accounting for Development Stage Entities.” Among the disclosures
required by SFAS No. 7 are that Daybreak’s financial statements be identified as
those of an exploration stage company. In addition, the statements of
operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows are required to
disclose all activity since Daybreak’s date of inception.
Daybreak
will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in
accordance with SFAS No. 7 until such time that Daybreak’s oil and gas
properties have generated significant and sustainable revenues.
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. These estimates and assumptions may
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NOTE
2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
The
Company routinely maintains balances in financial institutions in excess of the
federally insured amount. The Company has not experienced any loss relating to
such deposits.
Investment
in Marketable Securities
Daybreak
determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each
balance-sheet date. Daybreak classifies all investments in marketable
debt and equity securities as trading securities as they are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. These
securities are reported at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and
losses recognized in earnings. The fair value of all securities is
determined by quoted market prices. These
investments are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The
Company has not experienced any loss relating to these securities.
9
Oil
and Gas Properties
Daybreak
uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas property
acquisition, exploration, development, and production activities. Costs to
acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip
exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development
wells are capitalized as incurred. Costs to drill exploratory wells
that are unsuccessful in finding proved reserves are expensed as
incurred. In addition, the geological and geophysical costs, and
costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed as
incurred. Costs to operate and maintain wells and field equipment are
expensed as incurred.
Capitalized
proved property acquisition costs are amortized by field using the
unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized
exploration well costs and development cost (plus estimated future
dismantlement, surface restoration, and property abandonment costs, net of
equipment salvage values) are amortized in a similar fashion (by field) based on
their proved developed reserves. Support equipment and other property
and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Pursuant
to SFAS No. 144, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company
reviews proved oil and natural gas properties and other long-lived assets for
impairment. These reviews are predicated by events and circumstances,
(such as downward revision of the reserve estimates or commodity prices), that
indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such
properties. Daybreak estimates the future cash flows expected in
connection with the properties and compares such future cash flows to the
carrying amount of the properties to determine if the carrying amount is
recoverable. When the carrying amounts of the properties exceed their
estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amounts of the properties
are reduced to their estimated fair value. The factors used to
determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved
reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production, future
capital expenditures and a risk-adjusted discount rate. There was no
impairment for the six months ended August 31, 2008.
Unproved
oil and gas properties that are individually significant are also periodically
assessed for impairment of value. An impairment loss for unproved oil
and gas properties is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an
impairment allowance. There was no impairment for the six months
ended August 31, 2008.
On the
retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or
loss recognized in income.
Revenue
Recognition
Daybreak
uses the sales method to account for sales of crude oil and natural
gas. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual
volumes of oil and gas sold to purchasers. The volumes sold may
differ from the volumes to which the Company is entitled based on its interests
in the properties. These differences create imbalances, which are
recognized as a liability only when the imbalance exceeds the estimate of
remaining reserves. Daybreak had no significant imbalances as of
August 31, 2008.
10
Reclamation
Bonds
Included
in other assets at August 31, 2008 is $250,000 paid to U.S. Specialty Insurance
Company to act as surety in pledging a bond to the State of Alabama in
connection with asset retirement obligations for future plugging, abandonment
and site restoration.
Also,
included in other assets at August 31, 2008 is $100,000 held in the form of a
Certificate of Deposit with Bank of America for an Operator bond in the State of
California.
Reclassifications
Certain
accounts in the prior period were reclassified to conform with the current
period’s financial statement presentation.
NOTE
3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – JOINT INTEREST PARTICIPANTS
In June
2007, Daybreak, as operator for the drilling and completion of the KSU #59
(formerly Haas-Hirsch No. 1) well, located in the Krotz Springs Field in St.
Landry Parish, Louisiana, sent a notice of default to California Oil & Gas,
Corporation (“COGC”), one of the working interest participants, for delinquency
in meeting their financial commitments in the drilling and completion of the KSU
#59 well. COGC was responsible for twenty-five percent (25%) of the working
interest costs in the KSU #59 well. In January 2008, Daybreak filed
suit in the 19th
Judicial Court, East Baton Rouge Parish, State of Louisiana against COGC for
their default. As partial payment of this default, COGC has assigned their
revenue interest in the KSU # 59 to Daybreak until the default is cured. As of
August 31, 2008, Daybreak has received $138,496 representing net production
revenue less monthly lease operating expenses from May 2007 through June 2008 on
behalf of COGC. This amount has been applied against the delinquent receivable
leaving a current balance due of $473,115 as of August 31, 2008. The
long-term portion of this receivable is recognized under joint interest
receivable – long term.

and infrastructure in the project area located in NE Louisiana. Under
terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the effective date of the sale for
each closing was January 1, 2008. The sale of the Tuscaloosa project resulted in
a gain for the six months ended August 31, 2008 of $3,993,441, net of taxes of
$0. Prior period income statement amounts applicable to the
Tuscaloosa project were reclassified and included under Income (Loss) from

At August
31, 2008, Daybreak had estimated net operating loss carryforwards for federal
and state income tax purposes of approximately $6,830,750 which will begin to
expire, if unused, beginning in 2024. The valuation allowance
decreased $1,225,558 for the six months ended August 31, 2008, and increased by
$1,638,020 for the year ended February 29, 2008, respectively. Section 382 Rule
will place annual limitations on Daybreak’s net operating loss (NOL)
carryforward.
The above
estimates are based upon management’s decisions concerning certain elections
which could change the relationship between net income and taxable income.
Management decisions are made annually and could cause the estimates to vary
significantly.
NOTE
9 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Private
Placements
On May
22, 2008, Daybreak closed an unregistered offering of its common stock through a
private placement under the securities transaction exemption Regulation D Rule
506 of the Securities Act of 1933. Shares were offered at $0.25 per
share to “accredited investors” only as defined in Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1933.
14
The
shares were sold either directly by Daybreak or by the placement agent,
Newbridge Securities Corporation of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. A total
of 625,000 shares of unregistered common stock were sold to eight investors
resulting in $156,250 in gross proceeds. Of these totals 60,000
shares of unregistered common stock were sold to two investors for $15,000 for
the six months ended August 31, 2008. Offering expenses were
approximately $6,500. Net proceeds were used to meet leasehold
expenses in California and general and administrative expenses.
The
placement agent was paid a sales commission of 10% on their sales of the private
placement and a non-accountable expense allowance of 3% on their sales totaling
$23,113. Additionally, the placement agent earned common stock
warrants at a rate of 7% of their shares sold. These warrants are exercisable at
$0.25 per share for a period of three years. The placement agent
earned 39,550 warrants. The warrants have a fair value of $10,442 and
were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model were: a risk free interest
rate of 2.44%; a stock price of $0.33; a volatility factor of 135.76%; and
dividend yield of 0.0%. The placement agent warrants contain the
customary anti-dilution provisions permitting the adjustment of the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the event of stock splits,
stock dividends, stock reversals and sales of substantially all of the Company’s
assets. As of August 31, 2008, no placement agent warrants had been
exercised.
NOTE
10 - SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND
Daybreak
has designated 2,400,000 shares of the authorized 10,000,000 preferred shares as
“Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (Series A Stock), with a $0.001 par
value. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, Daybreak
conducted a private placement sale of the Series A Stock. A total of 1,399,765
shares of Series A Stock were sold in the private placement offering resulting
in $4,199,291 of gross proceeds. Each share of Series A Stock is
convertible into three shares of Daybreak common stock, whenever the shareholder
chooses to convert. As of August 31, 2008, there have been 229,300
shares of Series A Stock converted by 18 shareholders into 687,900 shares of
Daybreak common stock.
A
component of the Series A Stock is a 6% annual cumulative dividend based on the
original purchase price of the shares. The dividends may be paid in
cash or common stock at the discretion of the Company. Accumulations of annual
dividends do not bear interest and are not payable until a dividend is declared
by the Company. Dividends are earned until the Series A Stock is
converted to common stock.
The table
below details the cumulative dividends for each fiscal year and the interim six
months of the current year:

Introduction
The
following discussion of our results of operations for the six month periods
ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007 and of our financial condition as of
August 31, 2008, should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial
statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q and with the Company’s
latest audited financial statements as reported in its Form 10-KSB/A for the
year ended February 29, 2008.
We are an
early stage oil and gas exploration company with a limited operating history and
minimal proven reserves, production and cash flow. To date, we have
had limited revenues and have not been able to generate sustainable positive
earnings. Our management cannot provide any assurances that Daybreak
will ever operate profitably. As a result of our limited operating
history, we are more susceptible to the numerous business, investment and
industry risks that have been described in our most recent report on Form
10-KSB/A for our fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 (Item 1. Description of
Business – “Risk Factors”).
Plan
of Operation
As an
exploration stage energy company concentrating on oil and gas exploration,
development and production; our expenditures consist primarily of costs of
geological and engineering services, mineral lease acquisition costs,
exploration and drilling costs and travel expenses.
17
Our
expenses also consist of consulting and professional services expenses,
compensation, legal and accounting expenses and general and administrative
expenses which we have incurred in order to address necessary organizational
activities.
Our
longer-term success depends on, among many other factors, the acquisition and
drilling of commercial grade oil and gas properties and the prevailing prices of
oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas prices have been extremely
volatile in recent years and are affected by many factors outside our
control. This volatile nature of the energy markets makes it
difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural gas; however, any
prolonged period of depressed prices would have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.
Our
operations are focused on identifying and evaluating prospective oil and gas
properties and funding projects that we believe have the potential to produce
oil or gas in commercial quantities. We currently have projects
underway in Alabama, California, Louisiana and Texas. In January
2007, drilling on the Krotz Springs project in Louisiana began and Daybreak was
the operator of record for the drilling and completion phases of this project.
In Alabama, we have been operator of the East Gilbertown Field since June
2007. In the past we have relied on our working interest partners to
negotiate all drilling, and sales contracts. During the past three
fiscal years, we have been involved in the drilling/workover and/or completion
of thirteen wells in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and in Alberta,
Canada. We have achieved or increased commercial production in nine
of these wellbores.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
working capital and current ratio (current assets divided by current
liabilities) are as follows.

While
these two ratios are important for financial analysis, numerous factors may also
affect the liquidity and capital resources of Daybreak. Working
capital increased from $732,964 as of February 29, 2008, to $5,423,457 as of
August 31, 2008, an increase of $4,690,493. This increase was due to
the receipt of $5,500,000 from the third and final closing for the sale of our
interest in the Tuscaloosa project in NE Louisiana.
Our
business is capital intensive. Our ability to grow is dependent upon
our ability to obtain outside capital and generate cash flows from operating
activities to fund our investment activities. At this time, we have
not yet demonstrated the ability to generate significant and sustainable cash
flow from producing wells developed as a result of our prior exploration and
development activities.
18
A major
source of funds for Daybreak in the past has been through the debt or equity
markets. Since we have currently been unable to establish sustained,
profitable oil and gas operations this may also have to be a source of funds in
the future along with the sale of possible oil and gas assets as deemed
appropriate. Our business model is focused on acquiring exploration
and developmental properties as well as existing production. Our
ability to generate future revenues and operating cash flow will depend on
successful exploration, and/or acquisition of profitable oil and gas producing
properties, which will very likely require us to continue to raise equity or
debt capital from sources outside of the Company.
Daybreak
has ongoing capital commitments to develop certain leases pursuant to their
underlying terms. Failure to meet such ongoing commitments may result
in the loss of the right to participate in future drilling on certain leases or
the loss of the lease itself. These ongoing capital commitments may
also cause us to seek additional capital from sources outside of the
Company. The current uncertainty in the credit and capital markets,
and the potential economic downturn, may restrict our ability to obtain needed
capital.
Results
of Operations
Since our
future operations will continue to be heavily dependent on our ability to seek
and secure capital from exterior sources, and should we be unable to continue to
find new capital from such sources, any equity investment could become
worthless.
Since our
inception, we have suffered recurring losses from operations with negative cash
flow and have depended on external financing to sustain our
operations. During the fiscal year (“FY”) ended February 29, 2008, we
reported losses from operations of $4.7 million. A gain was reported
for the 2nd Quarter FY 2009, due to receiving $5.5 million in the final closing
of the sale of our Tuscaloosa property assets. Without the sale of
the Tuscaloosa assets, Daybreak would have reported a loss for the 2nd Quarter
FY 2009. Although this potential loss is an improvement from the loss
of $943,323 for the same period in the prior year, there is no assurance that we
can ever achieve sustainable profitability. Failure to achieve
sustainable profitability could cause any equity investment to become
substantially impaired in value.

Three
Months Ended August 31, 2008 compared to the Three Months Ended August 31,
2007 - Continuing Operations
The
following discussion compares our results for the three month periods ended
August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007. These results cover our continuing
operations in Gilbertown Field in Alabama, Krotz Springs Project in Louisiana
and Saxet Deep Field (“Saxet Field”) in Texas.
Revenues. Our
revenues are derived entirely from the sale of our share of oil and gas
production from our producing wells. We realized our first revenues
from producing wells in August 2006. Prior to that date, we had no
revenues from continuing operations.
19
For the
quarter ended August 31, 2008, total oil and gas revenues from continuing
operations increased slightly by $7,872 or 8.0% from the same quarter in
the prior fiscal year. Higher oil and gas prices offset the loss of
revenue from lower production which declined by 28.6%. We recorded
revenues from our interests in 20 producing wells for the quarter ended August
31, 2008. A table of our revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 2008
compared to the quarter ended August 31, 2007 follows:

The
Gilbertown Field is the oldest commercial producing field in Alabama having been
on production since the 1940’s. There are opportunities in at least
21 existing well bores that can be re-entered in potential sands of the Eutaw
zones and Selma Chalk Formations at depths of 2,500 to 3,500
feet. The principal producing zone is the multiple sand horizons in
the Lower Cretaceous Eutaw sands. Production is relatively heavy oil
(approximately 18º API). Gilbertown Field revenues increased $22,629 or 75.4%
compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Higher oil
prices accounted for all of this increase, while the production level was
relatively unchanged at 587 Bbl (barrels) from the quarter ended August 31,
2007. Gilbertown revenue represented 49.7% of total revenues from
continuing operations.
The Krotz
Springs project in Louisiana began commercial production in May 2007. The KSU #
59 (KZU SU; KU No. 59 [formerly Haas-Hirsch #1]) has hydrocarbon production
of both oil and gas. A portion of the raw gas production from the KSU
#59 well is converted into natural gas liquids by the Field Operator.
Krotz Springs revenues increased by $3,701 or 14.6% compared to the
same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Higher oil and gas prices
offset the decrease of 8.2% in production on a BOE (Barrels of Oil Equivalent)
basis. The production decline is due to reservoir depletion in the current
productive zone. Krotz Springs revenue represented 27.4% of total revenues
from continuing operations.
The Saxet
Deep Field (“Saxet Field”) in Texas has been producing since the 1940’s. The
field currently produces oil and gas from three wells. Saxet Field
revenues decreased $18,459 or 43.2% compared to the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year. This decrease was due to lower production because of the
wells being shut-in due to pipeline maintenance throughout the
quarter. Higher oil and gas prices helped offset the decline in
production. On a BOE basis production declined by 69.1% for the quarter.
Saxet Field revenues represented 22.9% of total revenues from continuing
operations.
Costs and
Expenses. Total operating expenses declined by $371,481 or
36.8% compared to the quarter ended August 31, 2007. The majority of
the decline occurred in exploration and drilling expenses $219,265 or 58.0% and
general and administrative expenses $87,206 or 17.4%.
20
Operating
expenses incurred by the Company include production costs associated directly
with the generation of oil and gas revenues, severance taxes and well workover
projects; exploration costs including geological and geophysical costs as well
as leasehold maintenance costs and dry hole drilling expenses; depreciation,
depletion, amortization and impairment of equipment costs, proven reserves and
property costs; and general and administrative expenses, including legal and
accounting expenses, director and management fees, investor relations and travel
expenses. A table of our costs and expenses for the quarter
ended August 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended August 31, 2007

Production
costs decreased $11,530 or 20.1% compared to the quarter ended August 31,
2007. These costs relate directly to the decrease in production volume from both
the Saxet Field and the Krotz Springs wells. These costs represent
7.1% of total operating expenses from continuing operations.
Exploration
expenses decreased $219,265 or 58% compared to the quarter ended August 31,
2007. This decrease relates directly to lower geological and geophysical
costs, and dry hole expenses in comparison to the prior year. For the
quarter ended August 31, 2008, we did not drill any wells as compared with one
dry hole from the same quarter in the prior year. These costs represent
24.9% of total operating expenses from continuing operations.
Depreciation,
depletion, amortization and impairment expenses decreased $53,480 or 73.8%
compared to the quarter ended August 31, 2007. This decrease relates
directly to the decreased production volume at the Saxet Field and Krotz Springs
projects. These costs represent 3% of total operating expenses from
continuing operations.
General
and administrative costs decreased $87,206 or 17.4% compared to the quarter
ended August 31, 2007. Legal costs increased $28,843 or
231.6% because of the sale of our Tuscaloosa project in Louisiana, the
annual shareholders meeting, and the work done to improve our Corporate
Governance policies and procedures. Accounting costs
decreased $113,665 or 71.6% because of additional accounting work that had
been required in the quarter ended August 31, 2007. Management
and director fees decreased by $29,286 or 14.9%. These general
and administrative costs represent 65% of total operating
costs.
Interest
and dividend income increased $366 or 9.5% compared to the quarter ended August
31, 2007, due to higher average cash and cash equivalent and marketable
securities balances.
Interest
expense decreased by $52,036 or 99% compared to the quarter ended August 31,
2007, due to an aggressive program to eliminate existing debt in the form of
convertible debentures.
21
Due to
the nature of our business, as well as the relative immaturity of our business,
we expect that revenues, as well as all categories of expenses, will continue to
fluctuate substantially quarter to quarter and year to
year. Production costs will fluctuate according to the number and
percentage ownership of producing wells, as well as the amount of revenues being
contributed by such wells. Exploration and drilling expenses will be dependent
upon the amount of capital that we have to invest in future development
projects, as well as the success or failure of such
projects. Likewise, the amount of depreciation, depletion,
amortization expense and impairment costs will depend upon the factors cited
above. General and administrative costs will also fluctuate based on
our current requirements, but will generally tend to increase as we expand the
business operations of the Company.
Alabama
(East Gilbertown Field)
Choctaw
County. In December 2006, we acquired a working interest in
this existing oilfield project. From December 2006 through March
2007, we incrementally increased our working interest from 2.5% to 12.5% in this
project. On June 1, 2007, we became the operator of the East
Gilbertown Field. Future plans are to continue to increase production in the
field by bringing more non-producing wellbores back into
production. As of August 31, 2008, we have spent $442,202 in
leasehold, production and workover costs associated with this
field. We plan to spend approximately $200,000 in capital repairs and
new investments within the field in the next twelve months based on our current
working interest percentage.
California
(East Slopes and Expanded AMI Prospects)
Kern and Tulare
Counties. In May 2005, we agreed to jointly explore an AMI
(Area of Mutual Interest) in the southeastern part of the San Joaquin Basin near
Bakersfield, California. As our exploration work has continued; this
project has been divided into two major areas referred to as the “East Slopes”
project (Kern County) and the Expanded AMI project (Tulare
County). We and our partners have now jointly leased about 25,633
undeveloped acres in the two AMI’s. Drilling targets are porous and
permeable sandstone reservoirs at depths of 1,200 feet to 4,000
feet.
East Slopes
Prospect. In June 2007, Daybreak and its partners (“Daybreak
et al”), entered into a Seismic Option Farmout Agreement with Chevron U.S.A.
Inc. (“Chevron”), for a seismic and drilling program in the East Slopes
(Kern County) project area. By paying the full cost of a 35
square-mile high resolution 3-D seismic survey program Chevron has earned a
50% interest in the Daybreak et al lands and a 50% working interest for the
drilling of future wells in the project area. After paying 50% of the cost
for drilling the first four initial test wells Daybreak will earn a 25%
interest in the Chevron lands and a 25% working interest for the drilling of
future wells located on the Chevron lands in the project area. The four initial
test wells must be drilled before the end of calendar year 2008 to qualify for
the earn-in on the Chevron lands. Multiple potential drilling locations
have already been identified through the ongoing interpretation of the
seismic data. Drilling is expected to commence in the fourth quarter
of 2008. We plan to spend approximately $2,000,000 in new capital
investments within the AMI covering the Seismic Option area in the upcoming
twelve months.
Expanded AMI
Prospect. Two prospect areas to the north of the East Slopes
AMI and outside the Chevron 3-D seismic survey area have been identified and we
are actively leasing lands in the Expanded AMI prospect area. Daybreak has a 50%
of the working interest in the area that is not in the Chevron partnered East
Slopes AMI project area. We plan to spend approximately $50,000 in the upcoming
twelve months.
22
As of
August 31, 2008, we have spent $961,000 in leasehold and geologic and
geophysical costs associated with these two prospect areas.
Louisiana
The Krotz Springs Project
in St. Landry
Parish. The Krotz Springs Project is a deep gas play with
current production from a Cockfield Sands reservoir. Daybreak was the
operator for this project during the drilling and completion phases of this
single well. When production commenced in May of 2007, the unitized
field operator of the Krotz Springs Field became the operator for this well.
Total project drilling and completion costs were approximately $9.2
million. We have a 12.5% working interest in this project, with a net
revenue interest (“NRI”) of 9.125%. As of August 31, 2008, we had
spent $1.26 million in leasehold, drilling, completion and production costs
associated with this project. Current production is being evaluated
prior to re-completing another prospective producing zone in the well in which
Daybreak will spend approximately $25,000 in capital expenditures in the next
twelve months.
The North Shuteston
Prospect. The North Shuteston Prospect, also in St. Landry
Parish is a 3-D seismic objective supported by a shallow amplitude anomaly at a
depth of 2,300 feet. This anomaly is related to a Miocene Age
Sand. On April 23, 2008, we assigned our interest in this project in
exchange for a two percent (2.0%) ORRI (overriding royalty interest) in the
revenue from production. Daybreak no longer has a working interest in
this project, and therefore will not incur any more capital investment
costs. Drilling of this prospect is anticipated to occur in 2008. As
of August 31, 2008, we had spent about $130,000 in leasehold, G&G (geologic
and geophysical) and project management costs associated with this
project.
Avoyelles
Parish. The Avoyelles Parish prospect is a Cretaceous target
positioned beneath an existing oilfield that has produced over 28 million
barrels of oil. The project is focused on the broad northeast flank
of the Cretaceous structure, targeting the Massive Sand of the Lower Tuscaloosa
Formation; and, the fractured Lower (Austin) Chalk. Plans call for a
3-D seismic survey covering about 36 square miles. This is primarily
a deep gas play. Gross project costs are estimated to be $1,000,000 for land,
$3,000,000 for 3-D seismic and $6,000,000 for drilling the first well. We have
jointly acquired leases or permits on approximately 2,002 gross undeveloped
acres within the AMI. Daybreak has a 35% working interest in this
project. As of August 31, 2008, we had spent $452,659 in leasehold,
seismic and project management costs associated with this exploration
project. We have no plans for further capital expenditures within the
field in the next twelve months and are planning to farm-out all or
part of our interest in this project to an industry partner.
Texas
(Saxet)
Nueces
County. In November 2005, we agreed to jointly participate in
a five well re-entry project in the Saxet Deep Field a previously produced
oilfield, on a developed 320 acre lease. The project is located
within the city limits of Corpus Christi, Texas. Prior to the second
quarter we had a variable working interest in the project, with an average well
working interest of 25.24%. As part of the original agreement, during
the second quarter our working interest decreased to 23.6363% in each well while
our NRI (net revenue interest) of 14.25% on all production from these wells
remained unchanged.
23
In May
2006, we completed a workover of the Weil 8-C well and it began production in
August 2006. In August and September 2006, we completed successful
workovers on both the Weil 3-C and Weil 7-C wells. Two other wells
the Weil 2-C and the Weil 6-C were re-entered in September and October of 2006,
and are now being used as salt water disposal wells. In the quarter
ended August 31, 2008, production was curtailed due to gas pipeline maintenance.
Production has now been successfully restored in two of the three wells. Work
continues to restore production on the third Saxet Field well.
As of
August 31, 2008, we had spent $824,315 in leasehold, workover, production,
pipeline and production facility costs associated with this
project.
We
anticipate being able to continue commercial production from the field with
workovers anticipated during the upcoming twelve months. We plan on
spending approximately $50,000 in capital expenditures within the field in
the next twelve months.
Six
Months Ended August 31, 2008 compared to the Six Months Ended August 31, 2007 -
Continuing Operations
The
following discussion compares our results for the six month periods ended August
31, 2008 and August 31, 2007. These results cover our continuing operations in
Gilbertown Field in Alabama, Krotz Springs Project in Louisiana and Saxet
Field in Texas.
Revenues. Our
revenues are derived entirely from the sale of our share of oil and gas
production from our producing wells. We realized our first revenues
from producing wells in August 2006. Prior to that date, we had no
revenues from continuing operations.
For the
six months ended August 31, 2008, total revenues from continuing operations
increased $33,457 or 19.5% from the same six months ended August 31,
2007. Higher oil and gas prices accounted for all of this increase as
overall production declined by 1,047 Bbls or 28% on a BOE basis. We
recorded revenues from our interests in 20 producing wells for the six months
ended August 31, 2008. A table of our revenues for the six months
ended August 31, 2008 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2007

The
Gilbertown Field revenues increased $58,401 or 133.5% compared to the six months
ended August 31, 2007. Higher oil and gas prices accounted for
40% of this increase, and incremental production increases accounted for the
remaining 60%. These revenues represented 49.9% of total revenues
from continuing operations.
24
The Krotz
Springs revenues increased $10,308 or 35% compared to the same six months
ended August 31, 2007. Higher oil and gas prices accounted for
all of this increase in revenue, while production declined 20% on a BOE
basis. The production decline is due to reservoir depletion in the
current productive zone. These revenues represented 19.4% of total
revenues from continuing operations.
The Saxet
Deep Field revenues decreased $35,252 or 35.9% compared to the same six months
ended August 31, 2007. Hydrocarbon production declined 1,248 Bbls or
56% on a BOE basis for the six months. This decrease was due to lower
production because of the wells being shut-in for pipeline maintenance and then
an inability to resume production at previous levels once the maintenance was
completed. These revenues represented 30.7% of total revenues from
continuing operations.
Costs and
Expenses. Total operating expenses declined by $558,631 or
30.6% compared to the same six months ended August 31, 2007. A table

BOE basis. These costs represent 10.6% of total operating expenses from
continuing operations.
Exploration
expenses decreased $289,052 or 54.2% compared to the same six months
ended August 31, 2007. This decrease relates directly to lower
geological and geophysical costs, and dry hole expenses in comparison to the
prior year. For the six months ended August 31, 2008, we did not
drill any wells as compared with one dry hole from the same six months ended in
the prior year. These costs represent 19.3% of total operating
expenses from continuing operations.

depletion, amortization and impairment expenses decreased $229,085, or 86%
compared to the same six months ended August 31, 2007. This decrease
relates directly to decreased oil and gas production as well as a lack
of new drilling activity in the six months ended August 31,
2008. Additionally in the prior year there was an increase in
impairments recognized on the KSU #59 well in the Krotz Springs
project. These costs represent 2.9% of total operating expenses from
continuing operations.
25
General
and administrative costs decreased $40,460 or 4.5% compared to the same six
months ended August 31, 2007. Legal costs increased $54,508 or 219.1% from
work done to improve our Corporate Governance; the sale of our Tuscaloosa
project in Louisiana and our annual meeting. Accounting costs
decreased $85,079 or 36% as we implemented improved financial
reporting procedures. Management and director fees decreased by
$17,586 or 5%. These general and administrative costs represent
67.2% of total operating costs.
Interest
and dividend income decreased $29,847 or 80% compared to the same six months
ended August 31, 2007, due to lower average cash and marketable securities
balances.
Interest
expense decreased by $112,417, or 99.6% compared to the same six months ended
August 31, 2007, due to an aggressive program to eliminate existing debt in the
form of convertible debentures.
Due to
the nature of our business, as well as the relative immaturity of our business,
we expect that revenues, as well as all categories of expenses, will continue to
fluctuate substantially quarter to quarter and year to
year. Production costs will fluctuate according to the number and
percentage ownership of producing wells, as well as the amount of revenues being
contributed by such wells. Exploration and drilling expenses will be
dependent upon the amount of capital that we have to invest in future
exploration and development projects, as well as the success or failure of these
projects. Likewise, the amount of depreciation, depletion,
amortization expense and impairment costs will depend upon the factors cited
above. General and administrative costs will also fluctuate based on
our current requirements, but will generally tend to increase as we expand the
business operations of the Company.
Gain/Loss
on Sales of Property and Equipment
On June
12, 2008, we completed the sale of our Tuscaloosa project interests in
Louisiana for $8 million in cash. The transaction closed in
three tranches; the first closing for $2 million occurred on January 18, 2008;
the second closing for $500,000 occurred on April 30, 2008; the final closing
for $5.5 million occurred on June 12, 2008 and was subject to customary closing
adjustments. The sale includes Daybreak’s interests in the Tensas
Farms et al F-1, F-3, B-1, A-1 and F-2 wells; and all of its remaining acreage
and infrastructure in the project area. Under terms of the purchase
and sale agreement, the effective date of the sale for each closing was January
1, 2008. We recorded a net gain of $3,993,441 on the sale of this
property. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment
expense was $62,118 for the six months ended August 31, 2008.
Cash
Flow Used in Operating Activities
Substantially
all of our cash flow from operating activities is derived from the production of
our oil and gas reserves. In the second quarter we realized a net gain of
$3,993,441 on the sale of our Tuscaloosa asset in
Louisiana. Variations in cash flow from operating activities may
impact our level of exploration and development expenditures.
Cash flow
used in operating activities for the six months ended August 31, 2008 decreased
by $1,074,782 or 58.4% as compared to the period ended August 31,
2007. The decrease in operating cash flows was derived primarily from
the sale of our Tuscaloosa property.
26
Addition
to Board of Directors
On July
31, 2008, Wayne G. Dotson was elected to our board of directors, thereby
expanding the Company’s board of directors to five members.
Summary
We may
obtain the funds for any future development activities through various methods,
including selling of oil and gas assets, issuing of equity or debt securities or
obtaining joint venture partners. Raising additional funds by issuing
common or preferred stock would further dilute our existing stockholder
base. No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain any
additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of
August 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or
relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners that have been,
or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
27
CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements
in this Form 10-Q which are not historical in nature, including statements of
management’s expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs, are inherently
uncertain and are “forward-looking statements” and are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such statements include , but are not limited to, those relating to
estimated financial results, or expected prices, production volumes, reserve
levels and number of drilling locations, expected drilling plans, including the
timing, category, number, depth, cost and/or success of wells to be drilled,
expected geologic formations or the availability of specific services or
technologies. It is important to note that actual results may differ
materially from the results predicted in any such forward-looking statements.
Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risk
and uncertainty. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to: the costs and accidental risks inherent in exploring and developing
new oil and natural gas reserves, the price for which such reserves and
production can be sold, environmental concerns affecting the drilling of oil and
natural gas wells, impairment of oil and gas properties due to depletion or
other causes, the uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved
reserves and cash flows, as well as general market conditions, competition and
pricing. For a discussion on risk factors affecting our business,
please see the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year
ended February 29, 2008. This and all our previously filed documents are
on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and can be viewed
on our website at www.daybreakoilandgas.com. Copies of the filings
are available from our corporate office without charge.
Additional
information relating to Daybreak is available on EDGAR at www.edgar-online.com
or our website at www.daybreakoilandgas.com. Our stock is quoted on
the NASDAQ over the counter (OTC.BB) market under the symbol
DBRM.OB.
28
Our
business is impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices (oil and gas) and the
availability of purchasers of our oil and gas production. The following
discussion is intended to identify the nature of these market risks, describe
our strategy for managing such risks, and to quantify the potential effect of
market volatility on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Oil
and Gas Prices
Our
financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly
dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil and natural
gas. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and
market uncertainties due to a variety of factors that are beyond our
control. These factors include the level of global demand for
petroleum products, foreign supply of oil and gas, the establishment of and
compliance with production quotas by oil-exporting countries, weather
conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels, and overall
economic conditions, both foreign and domestic.
We cannot
predict future oil and gas prices with any degree of
certainty. Sustained weakness in oil and gas prices may adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations, and may also reduce
the amount of net oil and gas reserves that we can produce
economically. Any reduction in reserves, including reductions due to
price fluctuations, can adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to obtain
capital for our exploration and development activities. Similarly,
any improvements in oil and gas prices can have a favorable impact on our
financial condition, results of operations and capital resources.
Significant
Customers
At each
of our property locations in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas, we have oil and gas
sales contracts with one dominant purchaser in each respective
area. Due to the scarcity of distribution pipelines or sole
distributors, we do not have many options for choosing to whom we will sell our
oil and gas. If these purchasers are unable to resell their products
or if they lose a significant sales contract then we may incur difficulties in
selling our oil and gas.
As of
August 31, 2008, four customers represented 100% of crude oil and natural gas
sales receivable from all projects in aggregate.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”)

Marketable
Securities Risk
We invest
cash balances in excess of operating requirements in short-term marketable debt
and equity securities through money market funds. The primary
objective of our investments is to preserve principal while maximizing yields,
without significantly increasing risk. In undertaking this strategy
we are exposed to financial market risks including changes in marketable debt
and equity security prices. We do not use derivative financial
instruments for hedging or speculative purposes. As of August 31,
2008, we had a balance of $3,009,163 in marketable securities. We
have not experienced any loss related to these marketable
securities.
30
(a) Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of the
end of the reporting period, August 31, 2008, an evaluation was conducted by
Daybreak management as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Such disclosure controls
and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified by the
Securities & Exchange Commission rules and forms. Additionally,
it is vital that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based
upon that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls were
effective as of August 31, 2008, to ensure timely reporting with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
(b) Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.
(c) Limitations.
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls
over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of
fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s
objectives will be met.
Further,
the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs.
Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design
may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.
Over
time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.

PART
II
OTHER
INFORMATION
1) In
a lawsuit filed on January 12, 2008, in East Baton Rouge Parish, State of
Louisiana, entitled, “Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. versus California Oil & Gas
Corporation, Suit No. 562933, Section 24, 19th
Judicial District Court,” Daybreak was seeking judgment for the full balance of
$587,465, together with legal interest thereon from the date of judicial demand
until paid, for reasonable attorney fees on both principal and interest, and all
costs of the proceedings.
Under the
Joint Operating Agreement for the Krotz Springs Project, California Oil &
Gas Corporation (“COGC”) was responsible for twenty-five percent (25%) of the
working interest costs on the drilling and completing the KSU # 59
(formerly Haas-Hirsch #1) well in the Krotz Springs Project. As part
of the drilling and completion of the KSU # 59 well, Daybreak incurred certain
costs and expenses on behalf of the various working interests associated with
the well. COGC was periodically sent invoices for its 25% share of
these costs. COGC has made partial payments pursuant to these
periodic invoices. COGC, however, has not made full
payment.
As a
result, Daybreak has instituted this lawsuit. Service of this lawsuit
was perfected on COGC in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Daybreak has filed
a motion for Summary Judgment and a hearing is scheduled for November
2008.
In
partial payment of the default, COGC has assigned their revenue interest in the
production revenue from the KSU #59 well to Daybreak. As of August
31, 2008, Daybreak has received $138,496 in net production revenue less monthly
lease operating expenses for the months of May 2007 through June
2008. These funds have been applied against the delinquent receivable
balance leaving an outstanding balance of $ 473,115 on August 31,
2008.
2) In
a civil action filed on July 18, 2008, in the Circuit Court of Choctaw County,
State of Alabama, entitled, “Cedarhill Operating Company, LLC on behalf of
Gilbertown Ventures, LLC and Gilbertown Rework LLC versus A.W. Greer, Clayton
Gatlin, Field Management LLC, Gilbertown Ventures LLC, Gilbertown Rework, LLC
and Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc., Suit No. 15-CV-2008-900041.00, Cedarhill et al
seeks judgment for compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount
plus attorney fees, interest and costs for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and
willful oppression to Cedarhill, Gilbertown Ventures LLC and Gilbertown Rework
LLC.
Daybreak
feels this lawsuit is without merit, and is a dispute between members of
Gilbertown Ventures, LLC and Gilbertown Rework, LLC as to how the two LLC’s have
been operated by the managing member of the two LLC’s. Gilbertown Ventures, LLC
and Gilbertown Rework, LLC represent an aggregate 75% working interest in the
Gilbertown Field in Choctaw County, Alabama.
