Daybreak
Oil and Gas, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company, Date of Inception March 1,
2005)
NOTE
1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Originally
incorporated as Daybreak Uranium, Inc., (“Daybreak” or the “Company”), under the
laws of the State of Washington on March 11, 1955, 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 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 three months ended May 31, 2008 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 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 for the year ended February 29, 2008,

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.
9
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. 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
three months ended May 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 May 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 – 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,
Inc., one of the working interest participants for delinquency in meeting their
financial commitments in the drilling and completion of the KSU #59 well. This
partner has a 25% working interest in the KSU #59 well. As of May 31, 2008, this
working interest participant was delinquent $491,885. As partial payment of this
default, California Oil & Gas has assigned their revenue interest in this
well to Daybreak until the default is cured. In January 2008, Daybreak
instituted legal action against this working interest participant for their
default. The long-term portion of this receivable is recognized under joint
interest receivable – long term.

NOTE
7 — 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. 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 in the fiscal
quarter ended May 31, 2008. Offering expenses were approximately $6,500. Net
proceeds were used to meet leasehold expenses in California and general and
administrative expenses.
12
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 May 31, 2008, no
placement agent warrants had been exercised.
NOTE

Safe Harbor
Provision
The
following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is management’s
assessment of the historical financial and operating results of Daybreak Oil and
Gas, Inc. (the “Company”, “Daybreak”, “we”, “us”, “our”) during the period
covered by the financial statements. All statements other than statements of
historical facts contained in this MD&A report, including statements
regarding our current expectations and projections about future results,
intentions, plans and beliefs, business strategy, performance, prospects and
opportunities, 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 “forward-looking” statements include 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: 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. To understand about forward looking
statements, please refer the section labeled forward looking statements. The
following discussion 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.
Introduction
The
following discussion of our results of operations for the three month periods
ended May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2007 and of our financial condition as of May 31,
2008, should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related
notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
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. 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.
14
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 are currently developing projects in
Alabama, California, 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.

Current
Ratio
|

While
these two ratios are important, numerous other factors may also affect the
liquidity and capital resources of Daybreak. Working capital increased from
$732,964 as of February 29, 2008, to $1,044,401 as of May 31, 2008, an increase
of $311,437. This increase was due to the receipt of $500,000 from the amended
second closing for the sale of our working 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.
Our only
source of funds in the past has been through the debt or equity markets. Since
we have not yet established profitable operations, this may also be a source of
funds in the future along with possible oil and gas asset sales 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.
15
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.
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 $8.6 million. Losses have continued into the 1st Quarter FY 2009,
with the Company reporting a loss of $397,876 for the three months ended May 31,
2008. Although these losses are an improvement from the loss of $617,660 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 May 31, 2008 compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2007 –
Continuing Operations
The
following discussion compares our results for the three month periods ended May
31, 2008 and May 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
quarter ended May 31, 2008, total revenues from continuing operations increased
$25,585, or 34.87% from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. We recorded
revenues from our interests in twenty (20) producing wells for the quarter ended
May 31, 2008. A table of our revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2008
compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2007 follows:

The
Gilbertown Field is the oldest commercial producing field in Alabama having been
in 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.
16
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 $34,683, or 234% compared to the same
quarter in the prior fiscal year. This increase was due to both increased daily
production and higher oil prices. These revenues represented 50.03% of total
revenues from continuing operations.
The Krotz
Springs project in Louisiana began commercial production in May 2007. The KZU
SU; KU No. 59 (KSU #59 [formerly Haas-Hirsch #1]) well produces both oil and
gas. Some of the raw gas production from the KSU #59 well is converted to
liquids for sale. Krotz Springs revenues increased $5,920, or 124% compared to
the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This increase primarily due to having
three full months of production as compared to one partial month from the prior
year and also higher oil and gas prices compared to a year ago. These revenues
represented 10.83% of total revenues from continuing operations.
The Saxet
Deep Field in Texas has produced since the 1940’s and production from the three
wells is both oil and gas. Saxet Field revenues decreased $15,018 or 28%
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 production problems
throughout the quarter. These revenues represented 39.14% of total revenues from
continuing operations.
Costs and
Expenses. Total operating expenses declined by $38,584, or
11.7% compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. 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 May
31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2007 follows:

Production
costs increased $11,496, or 14.8% compared to the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year. These costs relate directly to the existence of increased
production revenues from the Gilbertown Field and the Krotz Springs well and the
increased production costs in the Saxet Field. These costs represent 14.07% of
total operating expenses from continuing operations.
Exploration
expenses decreased $69,788, or 45.0% compared to the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year. This decrease relates directly to lower geological and geophysical
costs, and dry hole expenses in comparison to the prior year. For the
quarter ended May 31, 2008, we did not drill any dry hole wells as compared with
one dry hole from the same quarter in the prior year. These costs represent
13.45% of total operating expenses from continuing operations.
17
Depreciation,
depletion, amortization and impairment expenses decreased $32,383, or 64.0%
compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This decrease relates
directly to lack of new drilling activity in the quarter ended May 31, 2008 as
well as the amount of impairment recognized on the KSU #59 well in the Krotz
Springs project in the same quarter of last year. These costs represent 2.87% of
total operating expenses from continuing operations.
General
and administrative costs increased $52,091, or 13.35% compared to the same
quarter in the prior fiscal year. Legal increased $25,665, or 207% from work
done to improve our Corporate Governance and the sale of our Tuscaloosa project
in Louisiana. Accounting increased $34,909, or 38% because of the increased
financial reporting requirements. Management and director fees increased by
$11,700 while investor relations fees declined by $16,000. These G&A costs
represent 69.62% of total operating costs.
Interest
and dividend income decreased $30,213, or 91% compared to the same quarter in
the prior fiscal year due to lower average cash and cash equivalent
balances.
Interest
expense decreased by $55,381, or 99% compared to the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year 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 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 in
the prior sentence. 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 in this project from 2.5%
to 12.5%. 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 May 31, 2008, we had spent $421,626 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 Area of
Mutual Interest (“AMI”) in the southeastern part of the San Joaquin Basin near
Bakersfield, California. As our exploration work has continued to develop this
project has been divided into two project areas referred to as the “East Slopes”
project (Kern County) and the Expanded AMI project (Tulare County). We 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.
18
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
wells Daybreak will earn a 25% interest in the Chevron lands and a 25%
working interest for the drilling of future wells in the project area. The four
initial test wells must be drilled within nine months of the seismic data
interpretation being completed. Multiple potential drilling locations
have already been identified through the ongoing interpretation of the
seismic data. Drilling is expected to commence in the second half 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.
As of May
31, 2008, we have spent $778,806 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 net 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 May 31, 2008, we had spent
$1.25 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 the next twelve months.
The North Shuteston
Prospect. The North Shuteson Prospect, also in St. Landry Parish is a
three dimensional (“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 to another party in exchange for a two percent (2.0%) overriding royalty
interest (“ORRI”) in the production revenue from the start of
production. Drilling will begin on this project during the summer of
2008; however, Daybreak no longer has a working interest in this project, and
therefore will not have any more capital investment. As of May 31,
2008, we had spent about $130,000 in leasehold, geologic and geophysical
(“G&G”) and project management costs associated with this
project.
19
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 May 31, 2008, we had spent $445,659 in leasehold,
seismic and project management costs associated with this exploration
project. We and our existing working interest partners endeavor to
secure other industry partners to participate in additional land acquisition and
seismic costs before proceeding with drilling. We are not planning on
spending any funds in capital investments within the field in the next twelve
months and are planning to farm-out on our interest 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. We have a variable
working interest in the project, with an average well working interest of 25.24%
and a net revenue interest (“NRI”) of 14.25% on all production from these
wells.
In May
2006, we started the re-work of the first well, the Weil 8-C
well. This well was successfully reworked and placed into production
in August 2006. In August and September 2006, we re-entered and started to
produce from 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.
As of May
31, 2008, we had spent $788,054 in leasehold, workover, production, pipeline and
production facility costs associated with this project.
We have
continued to face increased production costs in the Saxet with a workover
required on an existing salt water disposal well. The workover was completed in
late September 2007. We anticipate being able to continue production
of the field; however, there is no assurance that commercial returns will
continue. We plan on spending approximately $50,000 in capital new
investments within the field in the next twelve months.
Three
Months Ended May 31, 2008 compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2007 –
Discontinued Operations
The
following discussion compares our results for the three month periods ended May
31, 2008and May 31, 2007. These results cover our discontinued operations in the
Tuscaloosa Project in NE Louisiana.
On June
12, 2008, Daybreak completed the sale of its Tuscaloosa Project interests for $8
million in cash. The transaction closed in three tranches: the first
closing for $2.0 million occurred on January 18, 2008; the second closing for
$500,000 occurred on April 30, 2008; and the final closing for $5.5 million
occurred on June 12, 2008 and was subject to customary closing adjustments.
20
The sale
includes Daybreak's interests in five wells known as the Tensas Farms F-1, F-3,
B-1, A-1 and F-2 wells, and all of its remaining acreage and infrastructure in
the project area located in NE Louisiana. Under terms of the purchase
and sale agreement, the effective date for each closing was January 1,
2008.
Revenues. For the
quarter ended May 31, 2008, we realized revenues from oil and gas production of
the Tensas Farms F-1, F-3 and A-1 wells. We realized our first
revenues from the F-1 in June 2006; the F-3 in February 2007; and the A-1 in
December 2007.
For the
quarter ended May 31, 2008, total revenues from discontinued operations
increased $81,098, or 52.88%, from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
This increase was from the F-1 well returning to production and the new
production from the A-1 well compared to production from only the F-3 well in
the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. A table of our revenues for the
quarter ended May 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended May 31, 2007

compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was
primarily due to lower depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment
costs as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. A table of

Other
Liquidity Factors
On May
22, 2008, Daybreak closed an unregistered offering through a private placement
of its common stock 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. The shares were sold either directly by Daybreak or by its placement
agent, Newbridge Securities Corporation of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. A total of
625,000 shares of unregistered common stock were sold to eight (8) 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 in the fiscal
quarter ended May 31, 2008. Offering expenses were approximately $6,500. Net
proceeds were used to meet leasehold expenses in California and general and
administrative expenses.
21
Addition
to Board of Directors
On March
24, 2008, James F. Meara was appointed to our Board of Directors, thereby
expanding the Company's Board to four 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 May
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.
22
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 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:
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. Please
refer to 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. From July 2007 to
December 13, 2007, our stock was quoted in the OTC pink sheet market, due to SEC
filing delinquencies. We returned to being quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board market after the filing of our report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
November 30, 2007.
23
Our
business is impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices (oil and gas) and the
availability of customers for our oil and gas sales. 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.
24
(a) Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of the
end of the reporting period, May 31, 2008, an evaluation was conducted by the
Company's management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based
upon that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls were
effective as of May 31, 2008, to ensure timely reporting with the
SEC.
(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
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 seeks judgment in the amount 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 its twenty-five percent (25%) share
of the working interest costs related to drilling and completing the Haas-Hirsch
#1 well in the Krotz Springs Project. As part of the drilling and
completion of the Haas-Hirsch #1 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
has been perfected on COGC in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A final
hearing date is anticipated to occur in August, 2008.
As of May
31, 2008, Daybreak had received $119,071 as a distribution of the COGC net
revenue interest representing net production revenue from May 2007 through March
2008, less monthly lease operating expenses. These funds have been applied to
the original default balance.
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. 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 in the fiscal
quarter ended May 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 May 31, 2008, no
placement agent warrants had been exercised.
