PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Historical Background

Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. (referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “us,” “Daybreak” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Washington on March 11, 1955 as Daybreak Uranium, Inc. The Company was established for the purpose of mineral exploration and development on claims or leased lands throughout the Western United States. In August 1955, we acquired the assets of Morning Sun Uranium, Inc. By the late 1950’s, we had ceased to be a producing mining company and thereafter engaged in mineral exploration only. In May 1964, to reflect the diversity of our mineral holdings, we changed our name to Daybreak Mines, Inc. By February 1967, we had ceased all exploration operations. After that time, our activities were confined to annual assessment and maintenance work on our Idaho mineral properties and other general and administrative functions. In November 2004, we sold our last remaining mineral rights covering approximately 340 acres in Shoshone County, Idaho.

Effective March 1, 2005, we undertook a new business direction for the Company; that of an exploration and development company in the oil and gas industry.  In October of 2005, to better reflect this new direction of the Company, our shareholders approved changing our name to Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc.  Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC:BB) market under the symbol DBRM.OB.  

Our corporate office is located at 601 W. Main Ave., Suite 1017, Spokane, Washington 99201-0613.  Our telephone number is (509) 232-7674.  Our regional operations office is located at 1414 S. Friendswood Dr., Suite 215, Friendswood, Texas 77546.  The telephone number of our office in Friendswood is (281) 996-4176.  

Oil and Gas Overview

Daybreak is an independent oil and natural gas exploration, development and production company.  Our basic business model is to increase shareholder value by finding and developing oil and gas reserves through exploration and development activities and selling the production from those reserves at a profit.  To be successful, we must, over time, be able to find oil and gas reserves and then sell the resulting production at a price that is sufficient to cover finding costs, operating expenses, administrative costs and interest expense, plus offer us a return on our capital investment.  Our focus is to pursue oil and gas drilling opportunities through joint ventures with industry partners as a means of limiting our drilling risk.  Prospects are generally brought to us by other oil and gas companies or individuals.  We identify and evaluate prospective oil and gas properties to determine both the degree of risk and the commercial potential of the project.  We seek projects that offer a mix of low risk with a potential of steady reliable revenue as well as projects with a higher risk, but that may also have a larger return. Modern technology including 3-D seismic helps us identify potential oil and gas reservoirs and to mitigate our risk.  Currently, our core area of activity is located in Kern County, California; although new opportunities may ultimately be secured in other areas.  We seek to maximize the value of our asset base by exploring and developing properties that have both production and reserve growth potential.

In some instances, we strive to be operator of our oil and gas properties.  As the operator, we are more directly in control of the timing, costs of drilling, completion and production operations on our projects.

Competition

We compete with independent oil and gas companies for exploration prospects, property acquisitions and for the equipment and labor required to operate and develop these properties.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have.  These competitors may be able to pay more for exploratory prospects and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than we can.  

We conduct all of our drilling, exploration and production activities onshore in the United States. All of our oil and gas assets are located in the United States and all of our revenues are from sales to customers within the United States.

4

Significant Customers

At our East Slopes Project, located in Kern County, California, there is only one buyer available for the purchase of our oil production. At February 29, 2012, this one customer represented 100% of crude oil sales receivable.  If this buyer is unable to resell its products or if they lose a significant sales contract then we may incur difficulties in selling our oil and gas.  

The price we receive for oil sales is based on prices quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) for spot West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) Cushing, Oklahoma contracts, less transportation costs and deductions that vary by grade of crude oil sold.  Historically, the sale price we receive for California oil sales has been less than the quoted WTI price.  For the year ended February 28, 2011 the average monthly WTI price was $80.80 and the average monthly sale price we received was $74.98 which was a discount of 7.2% from the average monthly WTI price.  However for the year ended February 29, 2012, we have been receiving a premium price in comparison to the WTI price. The average monthly WTI price was $96.96 and the average monthly sale price we received was $104.54 which was a premium of 7.8% higher than the average monthly WTI price.

The revenue from all customers is set forth in the table below.

**During the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company received approximately $104,017 in revenue related to the Krotz Springs Field in Louisiana as a one-time adjustment to gas revenue earned in calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009 due to a well production revenue misallocation by the unitized field operator.

Title to Properties

As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we make only a cursory review of title to undeveloped oil and natural gas leases at the time we acquire them.  However, before drilling operations commence, we search the title, and remedy material defects, if any, before we actually begin drilling the well.  To the extent title opinions or other investigations reflect title defects, we (rather than the seller or lessor of the undeveloped property) typically are obligated to cure any such title defects at our expense.  If we are unable to remedy or cure any title defects, so that it would not be prudent for us to commence drilling operations on the property, we could suffer a loss of our entire investment in the property.  We believe that we have good title to our oil and natural gas properties, some of which are subject to immaterial encumbrances, easements, and restrictions.  

Regulation

The exploration and development of oil and gas properties are subject to various types of federal, state and local laws and regulations.  These laws and regulations govern a wide range of matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates of production, restoration of surface areas, plugging and abandonment of wells and specific requirements for the operation of wells. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties.

Laws and regulations relating to our business frequently change so we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws. Future laws and regulations, including changes to existing laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business. These regulatory burdens generally do not affect us any differently than they affect other companies in our industry with similar types, quantities and locations of production.

5

Operational Hazards and Insurance

Our operations are subject to the usual hazards incident to the drilling and production of oil and gas, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires and pollution and other environmental risks.  These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operation.  In addition, the presence of unanticipated pressures or irregularities in formations, miscalculations, or accidents may cause our drilling activities to be unsuccessful and result in a total loss of our investment.

We maintain insurance of various types to cover our operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry.  We believe the coverage and types of insurance we maintain are adequate.  The occurrence of a significant adverse event, the risks of which are not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  We cannot give any assurances that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable.

Employees and Consultants

At February 29, 2012, we had six full-time employees.  Additionally, we regularly use the services of four consultants on an as-needed basis for accounting, technical, oil field, geological, investor relations and administrative services. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.  In our opinion, relations with our employees are good.  We may hire more employees in the next fiscal year as needed.  All other services are currently contracted for with independent contractors.  We have not obtained “key man” life insurance on any of our officers or directors.

Long Term Success

Our success depends on the successful acquisition, exploration and development of commercial grade oil and gas properties as well as the prevailing prices for oil and natural gas to generate future revenues and operating cash flow. Oil and natural gas prices have been extremely volatile in recent years and are affected by many factors outside of our control.  The 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.  Such pricing factors are largely beyond our control, and may result in fluctuations in our earnings. We believe there are significant opportunities available to us in the oil and gas exploration and development industry.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors together with other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, should be carefully considered by current and future investors in our securities.  An investment in our securities involves substantial risks.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition and our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair our business operations.  In any such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all, or a part, of your investment.

We have a limited operating history on which to base an investment decision.

We have a limited history of oil and gas production and have minimal proven reserves.  To date, while we have positive cash flow from our continuing operations in California, we have not yet generated sustainable positive cash flow or earnings on a company-wide basis.  We cannot provide any assurances that we will ever operate profitably.  As a result of our limited operating history, we are more susceptible to business risks.  These risks include unforeseen capital requirements, failure to establish business relationships, and competitive disadvantages against larger and more established companies.

The oil and gas business is highly competitive, placing Daybreak at an operating disadvantage.

We expect to be at a competitive disadvantage in (a) seeking to acquire suitable oil and or gas drilling prospects; (b) undertaking exploration and development; and (c) seeking additional financing.  We base our preliminary decisions regarding the acquisition of oil and or gas prospects and undertaking of drilling ventures upon general and inferred geology and economic assumptions.  This public information is also available to our competitors.

In addition, we compete with large oil and gas companies with longer operating histories and greater financial resources than us.  These larger competitors, by reason of their size and greater financial strength, can more easily:

·

access capital markets;

·

recruit more qualified personnel;

·

absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in applicable jurisdictions;

·

handle longer periods of reduced prices of gas and oil;

·

acquire and evaluate larger volumes of critical information; and

·

compete for industry-offered business ventures.

These disadvantages could create negative results for our business plan and future operations.

Oil and gas prices are volatile.  Declines in commodity prices in the past have adversely affected, and in the future may adversely affect, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital markets, and ability to grow.

Our revenues, operating results, liquidity, cash flows, profitability and valuation of proved reserves depend substantially upon the market prices of oil and natural gas.  Product prices affect our cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to access funds through the capital markets.  If commodity prices decline in the future, the decline could have adverse effects on our reserves and availability of funds.

The prices we receive for our oil and natural gas depend upon factors beyond our control, including among others:

·

changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;

·

market uncertainty;

·

the level of consumer product demands;

·

hurricanes and other weather conditions;

·

domestic governmental regulations and taxes;

·

the foreign supply of oil and natural gas; and

·

overall domestic and foreign economic conditions.

These factors make it very difficult to predict future commodity price movements with any certainty. Oil prices and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relation to each other.

8

Our ability to reach and maintain profitable operating results is dependant on our ability to find, acquire, and develop oil and gas properties.

Our future performance depends upon our ability to find, acquire, and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable.  Without successful exploration and acquisition activities, we will not be able to develop reserves or generate production revenues to achieve and maintain profitable operating results.  No assurance can be given that we will be able to find, acquire or develop these reserves on acceptable terms.  We also cannot assure that commercial quantities of oil and gas deposits will be discovered that are sufficient to enable us to recover our exploration and development costs.  Although certain management personnel have significant experience in the oil and gas industry, we have not yet established a history of locating and developing properties that have economically feasible oil and gas reserves.

We have experienced significant operating losses in the past and there can be no assurance that we will become profitable in the future.

We have reported a net loss of approximately $1,432,584 for the year ended February 29, 2012, and we have an accumulated deficit through February 29, 2012 of $23,839,493.  Without successful exploration and development of our properties any investment in Daybreak could become devalued or worthless.

The amount of our outstanding indebtedness continues to increase and our ability to make payments towards such indebtedness could have adverse consequences on future operations.

Our outstanding indebtedness at February 29, 2012 was approximately $4,407,178.  The level of indebtedness we have affects our operations in a number of ways.  We will need to use a portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest and meet payables commitments, which will reduce the amount of funds we will have available to finance our operations.  This lack of funds could limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate and could limit our ability to make funds available for other purposes, such as future exploration, development or acquisition activities.  Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total indebtedness will depend upon our future performance.  Our future performance, in turn, is dependent upon many factors that are beyond our control such as general economic, financial and business conditions.  We cannot guarantee that our future performance will not be adversely affected by such economic conditions and financial, business and other factors.

Certain U.S. federal income tax deductions currently available with respect to oil and gas exploration and development may be eliminated as a result of proposed legislation.

Legislation has been proposed that would, if enacted into law, make significant changes to United States federal income tax laws, including the elimination of certain key U.S. federal income tax incentives currently available to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies.  These changes include, but are not limited to:  (1) the repeal of the percentage depletion allowance for oil and natural gas properties, (2) the elimination of current deductions for intangible drilling and development costs, (3) the elimination of the deduction for certain domestic production activities, and (4) an extension of the amortization period for certain geological and geophysical expenditures. It is unclear whether any such changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could become effective.  The passage of this legislation or any other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could eliminate or postpone certain tax deductions that are currently available with respect to oil and gas exploration and development, and any such change could negatively impact the value of an investment in our Common Stock as well as affect our financial condition and results of operations.

9

Our oil and gas exploration and production, and related activities are subject to extensive environmental regulations, and to laws that can give rise to substantial liabilities from environmental contamination.

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the environment, establish standards for the management, treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials and of solid and hazardous wastes, and impose obligations to investigate and remediate contamination in certain circumstances.  Liabilities to investigate or remediate contamination, as well as other liabilities concerning hazardous materials or contamination such as claims for personal injury or property damage, may arise at many locations, including properties in which we have an ownership interest but no operational control, properties we formerly owned or operated, and sites where our wastes have been treated or disposed of, as well as at properties that we currently own or operate. Such liabilities may arise even where the contamination does not result from any noncompliance with applicable environmental laws.  Under a number of environmental laws, such liabilities may also be joint and several, meaning that we could be held responsible for more than our share of the liability involved, or even the entire share.  Environmental requirements generally have become more stringent in recent years, and compliance with those requirements more expensive.

We have incurred expenses in connection with environmental compliance, and we anticipate that we will continue to do so in the future.  Failure to comply with extensive applicable environmental laws and regulations could result in significant civil or criminal penalties and remediation costs.  Some of our properties may be affected by environmental contamination that may require investigation or remediation.  In addition, claims are sometimes made or threatened against companies engaged in oil and gas exploration and production by owners of surface estates, adjoining properties or others alleging damage resulting from environmental contamination and other incidents of operation.  Compliance with, and liabilities for remediation under, these laws and regulations, and liabilities concerning contamination or hazardous materials, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The adoption of climate change legislation by Congress could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil we produce.

In December 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) EPA determined that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment to public health and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to warming of the earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes.  Based on these findings, the EPA has begun adopting and implementing regulations to restrict emissions of greenhouse gases under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act.  The EPA’s rules relating to emissions of greenhouse gases from large stationary sources of emissions are currently subject to a number of legal challenges, but the federal courts have thus far declined to issue any injunctions to prevent the EPA from implementing, or requiring state environmental agencies to implement, the rules.  The EPA has also adopted rules requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from specified large greenhouse gas emission sources in the United States including petroleum refineries, as well as certain onshore oil and natural gas production facilities.

Moreover, the United States Congress has from time to time considered adopting legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and almost one-half of the states have already taken legal measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases primarily through the planned development of greenhouse gas emission inventories and/or regional greenhouse gas cap and trade programs.  Most of these cap and trade programs work by requiring major sources of emissions to acquire and surrender emission allowances. The number of allowances available for purchase is reduced each year in an effort to achieve the overall greenhouse gas emission reduction goal.  Although our current facilities are not subject to the EPA’s greenhouse gases reporting rules, the EPA has indicated that it is evaluating whether the rule should be applied to oil and gas production activities, perhaps on a field-wide basis.

10

The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to incur increased operating costs, such as costs to purchase and operate emissions control systems, to acquire emissions allowances or comply with new regulatory or reporting requirements. Any such legislation or regulatory programs could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, the oil we produce.  Consequently, legislation and regulatory programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Recently approved final rules regulating air emissions from natural gas production operations could cause us to incur increased capital expenditures and operating costs which could be significant.

On April 17, 2012, the EPA approved final regulations under the Clean Air Act that, among other things, require additional emissions controls for natural gas and natural gas liquids production, including New Source Performance Standards to address emissions of sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) and a separate set of emission standards to address hazardous air pollutants frequently associated with such production activities.  The final regulations require the reduction of VOC emissions from natural gas wells through the use of reduced emission completions or “green completions” on all hydraulically fractured wells constructed or refractured after January 1, 2015.  For well completion operations occurring at such well sites before January 1, 2015, the final regulation allow operators to capture and direct flowback emissions to completion combustion devices, such as flares, in lieu of performing green completions.  These regulation also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from hydrators, storage tanks and other production equipment.  While we do not currently have any natural gas production operations, this new rule and compliance with its requirements could increase our costs of development and productions, though we do not expect these requirements to be any more burdensome to us than to other similarly situated companies involved in oil and natural gas exploration and production activities.

To execute our business plan we will need to develop current projects and expand our operations requiring significant capital expenditures which we may be unable to fund.

We have a history of net losses and expect that our operating losses will continue over the next 12 months as we continue to implement our business plan.  Our business plan contemplates the development of our current exploration projects and the expansion of our business by identifying, acquiring, and developing additional oil and gas properties.

We need to rely on external sources of financing to meet the capital requirements associated with the development of our current properties and the expansion of our oil and gas operations.  We plan to obtain the funding we need through debt and equity markets.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is required or that it will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms.

We may make offers to acquire oil and gas properties in the ordinary course of our business.  If these offers are accepted, our capital needs will increase substantially.  If we fail to obtain the funding that we need when it is required, we may have to forego or delay potentially valuable opportunities to acquire new oil and gas properties.  In addition, without the necessary funding, we may default on existing funding commitments to third parties and forfeit or dilute our rights in existing oil and gas property interests.

11

When we make the determination to invest in oil or gas properties we rely upon geological and engineering estimates which involve a high level of uncertainty.

Geologic and engineering data are used to determine the probability that a reservoir of oil or natural gas exists at a particular location.  This data is also used to determine whether oil and natural gas are recoverable from a reservoir.  Recoverability is ultimately subject to the accuracy of data including, but not limited to, geological characteristics of the reservoir, structure, reservoir fluid properties, the size and boundaries of the drainage area, reservoir pressure, and the anticipated rate of pressure depletion.  Also the increasing costs of production operations may render some deposits uneconomic to extract.

The evaluation of these and other factors is based upon available seismic data, computer modeling, well tests and information obtained from production of oil and natural gas from adjacent or similar properties.  There is a high degree of risk in proving the existence and recoverability of reserves.  Actual recoveries of proved reserves can differ materially from original estimates.  Accordingly, reserve estimates may be subject to downward adjustment.  Actual production, revenue and expenditures will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.

Our financial condition will deteriorate if we are unable to retain our interests in our leased oil and gas properties.

All of our properties are held under interests in oil and gas mineral leases.  If we fail to meet the specific requirements of any lease, such lease may be terminated or otherwise expire.  We cannot be assured that we will be able to meet our obligations under each lease.  The termination or expiration of our “working interests” (interests created by the execution of an oil and gas lease) relating to these leases would impair our financial condition and results of operations.

We will need significant additional funds to meet capital calls, drilling and other production costs in our effort to explore, produce, develop and sell the natural gas and oil produced by our leases.  We may not be able to obtain any such additional funds on acceptable terms.

Title deficiencies could render our oil and gas leases worthless; thus damaging the financial condition of our business.

The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless, resulting in a large expense to our business.  We rely upon the judgment of oil and gas lease brokers who perform the field work and examine records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place a specific mineral interest under lease.  This is a customary practice in the oil and gas industry.

We anticipate that we, or the person or company acting as “operator” (the individual or company responsible for the exploration, exploitation and production of an oil or natural gas well or lease, usually pursuant to the terms of a joint operating agreement among the various parties owning the working interest in the well) on the properties that we lease, will examine title prior to any well being drilled.  Even after taking these precautions, deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the leases may still arise.  Such deficiencies may render some leases worthless, negatively impacting our financial condition.

If we as operators, or the operator of our oil and gas projects fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business could be exposed to significant losses.

Our oil and gas projects are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry.  These risks involve explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, pollution, fires, earthquakes and other environmental issues.  These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage.  As protection against these operating hazards we maintain insurance coverage to include physical damage and comprehensive general liability.  However, we are not fully insured in all aspects of our business.  The occurrence of a significant event on any project against which we are not adequately covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

12

In the projects in which we are not the operator, we require the operator to maintain insurance of various types to cover our operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry.  The occurrence of a significant adverse event on any of these projects if they are not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment.  The loss of any such project investment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may lose key management personnel which could endanger the future success of our oil and gas operations.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is also acting as our interim principal finance and accounting officer; our former Senior Vice-President, Exploration who effective March 15, 2012 is now a consultant to the Company; our Director of Field Operations; and two directors each have substantial experience in the oil and gas business.  The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business.  If one or more members of our management team dies, becomes disabled or voluntarily terminates employment with us, there is no assurance that a suitable or comparable substitute will be found.  

We may be unable to continue as a going concern in which case our securities will have little or no value.

Our financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2012 were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have incurred net losses since inception which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In the event we are not able to continue operations, an investor will likely suffer a complete loss of their investment in our securities.

In the past, we have disclosed material weakness in our internal controls and procedures which could erode investor confidence, jeopardize our ability to obtain insurance and limit our ability to attract qualified persons to serve at Daybreak.

As of the end of the reporting period, February 29, 2012, an evaluation was conducted by Daybreak management, including our Chief Executive Officer, also serving as our interim principal finance and accounting officer, as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act.  Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of February 29, 2012.

When the evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting was conducted for the year ended February 28, 2009, a determination was made that our internal controls were not effective as of that date. This evaluation is more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2009. We have since initiated the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting:

·

developed an additional level of authoritative accounting resource and review to be used in the recognition of extraordinary non-cash transactions;

·

additional training was designed to reinforce existing resources;

·

management added an additional level of oversight for approval of non-routine non-cash transactions; and

·

a third party was engaged to assist in efforts to document and test financial reporting controls.

Failure to comply with rules regarding internal controls and procedures may make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance.  We may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage and/or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.  The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, on committees of our Board of Directors, or as executive officers.

13

The market price of our Common Stock could be volatile, which may cause the investment value of our stock to decline.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC:BB) market under the symbol DBRM.OB.

The Bulletin Board market is characterized by low trading volume.  Because of this limited liquidity, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares at or above the cost of their purchase prices.  The trading price of our shares has experienced wide fluctuations and these shares may be subject to similar fluctuations in the future.

The trading price of our Common Stock may be affected by a number of factors including events described in these risk factors, as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements of drilling activities, general conditions in the oil and gas exploration and development industry, and other events or factors.

In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations.  In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock.  These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Pursuant to SEC rules our Common Stock is classified as a “penny stock” increasing the risk of investment in these shares.

Our Common Stock is designated as a “penny stock” and thus may be more illiquid than shares traded on an exchange or on NASDAQ.  Penny stocks generally are any non-NASDAQ or non-exchange listed equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions.

The “penny stock” reporting and disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to these rules.  The market liquidity for the shares could be severely and adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell these shares.

The resale of shares offered in private placements could depress the value of the shares.

Shares of our Common Stock have been offered and sold in private placements at significant discounts to the trading price of the Common Stock at the time of the offering.  Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock eligible for future sale in the public market, or the availability of shares for sale, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and our ability to raise capital by an offering of equity securities.

Privately placed issuances of our Common Stock, preferred stock and warrants have and may continue to dilute ownership interests which could have an adverse effect on our stock prices.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  As of February 29, 2012, there were 48,787,769 shares of Common Stock and 906,565 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding.

Historically we have issued, and likely will continue to issue, additional shares of our Common Stock in connection with the compensation of personnel, future acquisitions, private placements, possible equity swaps for debt or for other business purposes.  Future issuances of substantial amounts of these equity securities could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock, and would result in further dilution of the ownership interests of our existing shareholders.

14

Preferred Stock has been issued with greater rights than the Common Stock issued which may dilute and depress the investment value of the Common Stock investments.

The rights of the holders of Common Stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights and preferences afforded to the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Shares.  The rights and preferences of these issued preferred shares include:

·

conversion into Common Stock of the Company anytime the preferred shareholder may wish;

·

cumulative dividends in the amount of 6% of the original purchase price per annum, payable upon declaration by the board of directors;

·

the ability to vote together with the Common Stock with a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

The issuance of these preferred shares could make it less likely that shareholders receive a premium for their shares of Common Stock as a result of any attempt to acquire the Company.  Further, this issuance could adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights, of the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Further, the Board of Directors has the power to issue more shares of Preferred Stock without shareholder approval, and such shares can be issued with such rights, preferences, and limitations as may be determined by our Board of Directors.

We may seek to raise additional funds in the future through debt financing which may impose operational restrictions and may further dilute existing ownership interests.

We expect to seek to raise additional capital in the future to help fund our acquisition, development, and production of oil and natural gas reserves.  Debt financing, if available, may require restrictive covenants which may limit our operating flexibility.  Future debt financing may also involve debt instruments that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock.  The conversion of the debt to equity financing may dilute the equity position of our existing shareholders.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock which could devalue the market value of these securities.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock since our inception.  We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Any dividends paid in the future will be at the complete discretion of our Board of Directors.  For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will retain any revenues which we may generate from our operations.  These retained revenues will be used to finance and develop the growth of the Company.  Prospective investors should be aware that the absence of dividend payments could negatively affect the market value of our Common Stock.

ITEM 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information otherwise required by this Item.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

During the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, we were involved in an onshore oil project in Kern County, California.  In the year ended February 28, 2010, we were involved in onshore oil and gas projects in Alabama, California and Louisiana.  Our involvement in the Alabama and Louisiana projects has ended and information presented on these projects is intended to meet disclosure requirements or be for comparative purposes only.  Unless otherwise noted, all of our discussion refers only to our continuing operations in California.  We have not filed any estimates of total, proved net oil or gas reserves with any federal agency other than this report to the SEC for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012.  Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, oil is shown in barrels (“Bbls”), and natural gas is shown in thousands of cubic feet (“Mcf”) unless otherwise specified.  

Kern County, California (East Slopes Project)

We believe the Company is now well positioned to expand its operations in the East Slopes Project.  We currently have production from five reservoirs at our Sunday, Bear, Black, Ball and Dyer Creek properties.  The Sunday and Bear properties each have four producing wells.  The Black property is the smallest of all currently producing reservoirs, and we will most likely drill only one or two more development wells at this property.  The Ball and Dyer Creek properties were put on production in late October 2010.  There are several other similar prospects on trend with the Bear, Black and Dyer Creek reservoirs exhibiting the same seismic characteristics.  Some of these prospects, if successful, would utilize the Company’s existing production facilities.  In addition to the current field development, there are several other exploratory prospects that have been identified from seismic data, which we plan to drill in the future.

Producing Properties

Sunday Property

In November 2008, we made our initial oil discovery drilling the Sunday #1 well.  The well was put on production in January 2009.  Production is from the Vedder sand at approximately 2,000 feet.  During 2009, we drilled three development wells, including one horizontal well.  The Sunday reservoir is estimated to be approximately 35 acres in size with the potential for at least three more development wells to be drilled in the future.  With the acquisition of an additional 16.67% working interest in the East Slopes Project in September 2010, we have a 41.67% working interest with a 29.0% net revenue interest in the Sunday #1 well.  We continue to have a 37.5% working interest with a 27% net revenue interest in each of the Sunday #2 and #3 wells.  We also have a 37.5% working interest with a 30.1% net revenue interest in the Sunday #4H well.

Bear Property

In February 2009, we made our second oil discovery drilling the Bear #1 well, which is approximately one mile northwest of our Sunday discovery.  The well was put on production in May 2009.  Production is from the Vedder sand at approximately 2,200 feet.  In December 2009, we began a development program by drilling and completing the Bear #2 well.  In April 2010, we successfully drilled and completed the Bear #3 and the Bear #4 wells.  The Bear reservoir is estimated to be approximately 62 acres in size with the potential for at least three more development wells to be drilled in the future including one planned for the summer of 2012.  With the acquisition of an additional 16.67% working interest in the East Slopes Project in September 2010, we have a 41.67% working interest with a 29.0% net revenue interest in each of the Bear wells in this property.

Black Property

The Black property was acquired through a farm-in arrangement with a local operator.  The Black property is just south of the Bear property on the same fault system.  The Black #1 well was completed and put on production in January 2010.  Production is from the Vedder sand at 2,150 feet.  The Black reservoir is estimated to be approximately 13 acres in size with the potential for up to two more development wells to be drilled in the future.  We have a 37.5% working interest with a 29.8% net revenue interest in this property.

17

Sunday Central Processing and Storage Facility

The oil produced from our acreage is considered heavy oil.  The oil ranges from 14° to 16° API gravity.  All of our oil from the Sunday, Bear and Black properties is processed, stored and sold from the Sunday Central Processing and Storage Facility.  The oil must be heated to separate and remove water to prepare it to be sold.  We constructed these facilities during the summer and fall of 2009 and at the same time established electrical service for our field by constructing three miles of power lines.  As a result, our average operating costs have been reduced from over $40 per barrel to a monthly average of approximately $26 per barrel of oil for the year ended February 29, 2012.  By having this central facility and permanent electrical power available, we are ensuring that our operating expenses are kept to a minimum.

Ball Property

The Ball #1-11 well was put on production in late October 2010.  Our 3-D seismic data indicates a reservoir approximately 38 acres in size with the potential for at least two development wells to be drilled in the future.  Production from the Ball #1-11 well is being processed at the Dyer Creek production facility.  In January 2012, we farmed out to a third party, 50% of our working interest covering the Ball and Dyer Creek Fields.  In return, the third party will pay Daybreak’s share of the completed well cost on the next Ball well to be drilled.  We have a 41.67% working interest with a 34.69% net revenue interest in the Ball #1-11 well. For other wells, excluding the Ball 1-11, we will have a 20.84% working interest with a 17.35% net revenue interest in this property.  We expect to drill at least one development well at this property during 2012.   

Dyer Creek Property

The Dyer Creek #67X-11 (“DC67X”) well was also put on production in late October 2010.  This well is producing from the Vedder sand and is located to the north of the Bear property on the same trapping fault.  The Dyer Creek property has the potential for at least one development well in the future.  Production from the DC67X well is also being processed at the Dyer Creek production facility.  We have a 41.67% working interest with a 34.69% net revenue interest in the DC 67X well. For other wells, excluding the DC 67X, we will have a 20.84% working interest with a 17.35% net revenue interest in this property.

Dyer Creek Processing and Storage Facility

The Dyer Creek Processing and Storage Facility serves the Ball and Dyer Creek properties and includes previously abandoned infrastructure that we have refurbished.  We have completed the installation of electrical service to this location, thereby reducing operating costs through the elimination of rental equipment for power generation.  The oil produced into this facility has a similar API gravity to the oil at the Sunday production facility and the oil must also be heated to separate and remove water in preparation for sale.

18

Exploration Properties

Bull Run Prospect

This prospect is located in the southern portion of our acreage position.  The drilling targets are the Etchegoin and Santa Margarita sands located between 800 and 1,200 feet deep.  We drilled an exploratory well on this prospect in December 2011 that was determined to be not viable for commercial production and the well was plugged and abandoned.  Utilizing the data received from this well, we expect to drill another exploratory well on this prospect during 2012.  The Bull Run wells will require a pilot steam flood and additional production facilities.  We have a 41.67% working interest in this prospect.

Sherman Prospect

This prospect is located in the southern portion of our acreage position.  The drilling targets are the Olcese and Etchegoin sands between 1,000 and 2,000 feet deep. We plan to drill an exploratory well in 2012.  We have a 41.67% working interest in this prospect.

Breckenridge-Chimney Prospect

This prospect is located in the central portion of our acreage position.  The drilling targets are the Vedder and Eocene sands between 2,000 and 2,500 feet deep.  We plan to drill an exploratory well in 2012.  We have a 41.67% working interest in this prospect.

Tobias Prospect

This prospect is also located in the central portion of our acreage position.  The drilling targets are the Vedder and Eocene sands between 2,000 and 2,500 feet deep.  We plan to drill an exploratory well in 2012.  We have a 41.67% working interest in this prospect.

Glide-Kendall Prospect

This prospect is located in the southern portion of our acreage position.  The drilling targets are the Olcese and Eocene sands between 1,000 and 2,000 feet deep.  We plan to drill an exploratory well in the fall of 2012. We estimate that the Glide Kendall prospect is 200 acres in size with a gross reserve potential of 500,000 barrels of oil. We have a 41.67% working interest in this prospect.

We plan to spend approximately $1,500,000 in new capital investments within the East Slopes Project area in the current fiscal year.

Encumbrances

The Company’s debt obligations, pursuant to a loan agreement entered into by and among Luberski, Inc., a California corporation, as lender, and the Company and RTG Steel Company, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, as co-borrowers, are secured by mortgages on the Sunday, Bear, Black, Ball and Dyer Creek Properties.  For further discussion of the loan agreement, please refer to Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the caption “Short-Term Note (Subsequent Event).”

19

Production, Revenue and LOE

Our net production volume, net revenue and net lease operating expenses (“LOE”) by property location for the three months and years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 in Kern County, California is set forth in the table below.  Due to certain oil processing credits that we received from December 2009 through August 2010, our overall production costs for the Sunday #1 well and all four Bear wells during that time period were significantly less than the overall production costs for the other Sunday wells and the Black #1 well.  These oil processing credits ended September 1, 2010 with our acquisition of a portion of a third party’s working interest in this project.  Initial LOE costs for the Ball and Dyer Creek locations were higher than average during the first four months of production because of the use of rental equipment to supply power to the wells and production facilities. Electrical power installation has now been completed for these wells and the associated production facility which significantly reduces costs.

20

Reserves

All of our estimated proved reserves of 222,710  barrels of oil at March 1, 2012 were derived from engineering reports prepared by Lonquist & Co. LLC (“Lonquist”) of Austin and Houston, Texas in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles and definitions and guidelines established by the SEC.

Lonquist is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm registered in the State of Texas, and Tereasa Montemayor, a Senior Petroleum Engineer, is the technical person at Lonquist primarily responsible for evaluating the proved reserves covered by their report.  Ms. Montemayor graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Petroleum Engineering.  She is a member in good standing of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has over 24 years experience in evaluating oil and gas reserves.  Ms. Montemayor has been employed by Lonquist for over five years, most recently as a reservoir engineer since 2009.  The services provided by Lonquist are not audits of our reserves but instead consist of complete engineering evaluations of the respective properties.  For more information about the evaluations performed by Lonquist, refer to the copy of their report filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our internal controls over the reserve reporting process are designed to result in accurate and reliable estimates in compliance with applicable regulations and guidance. Internal reserve preparation is performed by Robert Martin, formerly the Senior Vice-President – Exploration, and effective March 15, 2012, a consultant for the Company.  Mr. Martin is a 1977 graduate of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada with an Honors Bachelor of Science Degree in Geological Science and is a member, in good standing, of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) and entitled to the designation “Professional Geologist” in Alberta.  Mr. Martin has over 30 years of experience in petroleum exploration and management.  

Although we believe that the estimates of reserves prepared by Mr. Martin have been prepared in accordance with professional engineering standards consistent with SEC and FASB guidelines, we engage an independent petroleum engineering consultant to prepare an annual evaluation of our estimated proved reserves.  We provide to Lonquist for their analysis all pertinent data needed to properly evaluate our reserves.  Mr. Martin consults regularly with Lonquist during the reserve estimation process to review properties, assumptions, and any new data available.  Additionally, the Company’s senior management reviewed and approved all Daybreak reserve report information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Under current SEC standards, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations.  The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.  Reasonable certainty can be established using techniques that have been proved effective by actual production from projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliable technology that establishes reasonable certainty.  Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that have been field tested and have demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

In order to establish reasonable certainty with respect to our estimated proved reserves, we employ technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability.  The technical data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, geologic maps and available downhole and production data, seismic data and well test data.  Generally, oil and gas reserves are estimated using, as appropriate, one or more of these available methods: production decline curve analysis, analogy to similar reservoirs or volumetric calculations.  Reserves attributable to producing wells with sufficient production history are estimated using appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships.  Reserves attributable to producing wells with limited production history and for undeveloped locations are estimated using performance from analogous wells in the surrounding area and technical data to assess the reservoir continuity.  In some instances, particularly in connection with exploratory discoveries, analogous performance data is not available, requiring us to rely primarily on volumetric calculations to determine reserve quantities.  Volumetric calculations are primarily based on data derived from geologic-based seismic interpretation, open-hole logs and completion flow data.  When using production decline curve analysis or analogy to estimate proved reserves, we limit our estimates to the quantities of oil and gas derived through volumetric calculations.

21

The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data, the precision of the engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.  The estimates of reserves and future cash flows are based on various assumptions and are inherently imprecise.  Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates.  Also, the use of a 10% discount factor for reporting purposes may not necessarily represent the most appropriate discount factor, given actual interest rates and risks to which our business or the oil and natural gas industry in general are subject.

Our estimated quantities of proved oil reserves as of February 29, 2012 are set forth in the table below. All of our proved reserves are located in Kern County, California.

We had a net decrease of 15,120 barrels of proved developed and undeveloped oil reserves for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2011.

Changes in our estimated proved developed oil reserves for the year ended February 29, 2012 are set forth in the table below.

Revisions. Net upward revisions of 8,891 barrels of oil resulted from new information derived from production history.  Proved producing reserves accounted for 74.0% of the total proved reserve additions.

The following table summarizes changes in our estimated proved undeveloped reserves for the year ended February 29, 2012.

Revisions. Net upward revisions of 3,125 barrels of oil resulted from new information derived from changes in economic factors primarily sales price of oil.  Proved undeveloped reserves accounted for 26.0% of the total proved reserve additions.

Sales of minerals-in-place.  In January 2012, we farmed out to a third party 50% of our working interest in leases covering the Ball and Dyer Creek Fields in Kern County, California.  This farm-out resulted in a 14,565 barrel decrease in our proved undeveloped oil reserves.

There are no amounts of proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for a period greater than five years.

22

Summary Operating Data

The production volume shown in the following table is our net share of annual production in each project for the past three fiscal years.  One barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) is roughly equivalent to 6,000 cubic feet or 6 Mcf of gas. Our involvement in the Alabama and Louisiana projects has ended and information presented on these discontinued projects is intended to only meet disclosure requirements.  We do not have any fixed delivery commitments for oil or gas in any project area.  

The oil and gas sales revenue shown in the table below is our net share of annual revenue in each project for the past three fiscal years.

The table below shows the average sales price we received for oil and natural gas in aggregate from each project area on a BOE basis for the past three fiscal years.

23

The table below shows the average cost of production for the past three fiscal years on a BOE basis.

The table below shows the developed and undeveloped oil and gas lease acreage held by us as of February 29, 2012. Undeveloped acres are on lease acreage that wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas.  Gross acres are the total number of acres in which we have an interest. Net acres are the sum of our fractional interests owned in the gross acres.

The table below summarizes our productive oil and gas wells as of February 29, 2012. Productive wells are producing wells and wells capable of production.  Gross wells are the total number of wells in which we have an interest.  Net wells are the sum of our fractional interests owned in the gross wells.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plan

The table below sets forth information regarding outstanding restricted stock awards for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012.  The Company has not awarded any restricted stock units.  The Company has no qualified or nonqualified stock option plans and has no outstanding stock options.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

⁽¹⁾

On April 6, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the 2009 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan, as described in detail below, under the heading “2009 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan.”

⁽²⁾

Reflects initial 4,000,000 shares in the 2009 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan, reduced by (i) 900,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to the Company’s non-employee directors in recognition of their leadership and contribution during the restructuring and transformation of the Company during the year ended February 28, 2009; (ii) 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to our current President and Chief Executive Officer and our former interim President and Chief Executive Officer in recognition of past service as executive officers during the year ended February 28, 2009; (iii)  425,000 and 625,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to employees during the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 respectively; (iv) 25,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to non-employee directors under our director compensation policy for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 respectively; and (v) 3,830 shares were returned to the 2009 Plan during the year ended February 29, 2012.

2009 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan

On April 6, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the 2009 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “2009 Plan”), allowing the executive officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company and its affiliates (“Plan Participants”) to be eligible to receive restricted stock and restricted stock units awards, as a means of providing Plan Participants with a continuing proprietary interest in the Company.  There are no predeterminations established for restricted stock or restricted stock units to be awarded to our named executive officers or employees.

We believe that awards of this type further align the interests of our employees and our shareholders by providing significant incentives for these employees to achieve and maintain high levels of performance.  Restricted stock and restricted stock units also enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified individuals.

Under the 2009 Plan, we may grant up to 4,000,000 shares.  The Board delegated the administration of the 2009 Plan to the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee has the power and authority to select Plan Participants and grant awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units (“Awards”) to such Plan Participants pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Plan.  Awards may be in the form of actual shares of restricted Common Stock or hypothetical restricted Common Stock Units having a value equal to the fair market value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock.  Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee in an individual Award agreement, Awards under the 2009 Plan vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and the unvested portion of any Award will terminate and be forfeited upon termination of the Plan Participant’s employment or service.  To date, the Compensation Committee has approved a vesting period of three years (vesting 33¹/₃% per year), as opposed to a four year vesting period, for Awards granted to non-employee directors.

Subject to the terms of the 2009 Plan and the applicable Award agreement, the recipients of restricted stock generally will have the rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends, if applicable.  The recipients of restricted stock units will not have the rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the shares underlying the restricted stock unit award until the award vests and the shares are received.  The Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, withhold dividends attributed to any particular share of restricted stock, and any dividends so withheld will be distributed to the Plan Participant upon the release of restrictions on such shares in cash, or at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of such dividends.  Awards under the 2009 Plan may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Plan Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  

Change in Control

Unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2009 Plan) of the Company, the Compensation Committee may provide that the restrictions pertaining to all or any portion of a particular outstanding Award will expire at a time prior to the change in control.  To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Compensation Committee to accelerate vesting will occur in a manner and at a time that will allow affected Plan Participants to participate in the change in control transaction with respect to the Common Stock subject to their Awards.

Amendment and Termination

The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the 2009 Plan; provided, however, that such amendment or termination shall not be effective unless approved by the Company’s shareholders to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to comply with any applicable tax or regulatory requirements.  In addition, any such amendment or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Plan Participant shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Plan Participant.  The Compensation Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may not effect any amendment which would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Plan Participant under any Award without the consent of such Plan Participant.

At February 29, 2012, a total of 1,003,830 shares remained available for issuance pursuant to the 2009 Plan.  A summary of the 2009 Plan issuances is set forth in the table below:

For the year ended February 29, 2012, we recognized compensation expense related to the above restricted stock grants of $91,218.  Unamortized compensation expense amounted to $42,054 as of February 29, 2012.

Common Stock

The Company has 200,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 of which 48,787,769 shares were issued and outstanding as of February 29, 2012.  In comparison, at February 28, 2011, a total of 48,791,599 shares were issued and outstanding.  This decrease of 3,830 shares was attributable to the return of common shares that were withheld pursuant to the settlement of the number of shares with a fair market value equal to such tax withholding liability, to satisfy such tax liability upon vesting of a restricted award by a Plan Participant.  All shares of Common Stock are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights.  Owners of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock owned at any shareholders’ meeting.  Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore; and upon liquidation, are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to shareholders.

There are no conversion, preemptive, or other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares of our Common Stock.  Our stock does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in an election of directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do so.  In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than 50% would not be able to elect any directors.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001.  Our Preferred Stock may be entitled to preference over the Common Stock with respect to the distribution of assets of the Company in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs.  The authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in designated series from time to time by one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.  The directors in their sole discretion shall have the power to determine the relative powers, preferences, and rights of each series of Preferred Stock.

On June 30, 2006, the Board of Directors designated 2,400,000 of these Preferred Stock shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  In July 2006, we completed a private placement of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that resulted in the issuance of 1,399,765 shares to 100 accredited investors.  At February 29, 2012, there were 906,565 shares issued and outstanding, that had not been converted into our Common Stock.  During the year ended February 29, 2012, there were no conversions of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to shares of our Common Stock.

As of February 29, 2012, 30 accredited investors have converted 493,200 Series A Convertible Preferred shares into 1,479,600 shares of Daybreak Common Stock.  Conversions of Series A Convertible Preferred that have occurred since the Series A Convertible Preferred was first issued in July 2006 are set forth in the table below.

29

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the rights and preferences of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Introduction and Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas exploration, development and production company.  Our basic business model is to increase shareholder value by finding and developing oil and gas reserves through exploration and development activities, and selling the production from those reserves at a profit.  To be successful, we must, over time, be able to find oil and gas reserves and then sell the resulting production at a price that is sufficient to cover our finding costs, operating expenses, administrative costs and interest expense, plus offer us a return on our capital investment. A secondary means of generating returns can include the sale of either producing or non-producing lease properties.

We have a limited operating history of oil and gas production 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 on a Company-wide basis.  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 Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our longer-term success depends on, among many other factors, the acquisition and drilling of commercial grade oil and gas properties and on the prevailing sales prices for oil and natural gas along with associated operating expenses. The 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 in the process of developing a multi-well oilfield project in Kern County, California.

The East Slopes Project is located in the southeastern part of the San Joaquin Basin near Bakersfield, California.  Since January 2009, we have participated in the drilling of fourteen wells in this project.  Eleven of those wells have been successful and have been placed on production.  Drilling targets are porous and permeable sandstone reservoirs which exist at depths of 1,200 feet to 3,000 feet.  Refer to our discussion in Item 2.  Properties, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our East Slopes Project.  

32

Revenues are derived entirely from the sale of our share of oil production.  We realized the first revenue from producing wells in our East Slopes Project during February 2009.  The price we receive for oil sales is based on prices quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) for spot West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) Cushing, Oklahoma contracts, less deductions that vary by grade of crude oil sold.  Historically, the sale price we receive for California oil sales has been less than the quoted WTI price.  For the year ended February 28, 2011 the average monthly WTI price was $80.80 and the average monthly sale price was $74.98, resulting in a discount of 7.2% from average monthly WTI pricing.  For the year ended February 29, 2012 the average monthly WTI price was $96.96 and the average monthly sale price was $104.54, resulting in a premium that was 7.8% higher than the average monthly WTI pricing.  

Results of Operations - Fiscal Year 2012 Compared to Fiscal Year 2011

Revenues from our East Slopes Project in Kern County, California for the year ended February 29, 2012 increased $338,645, or 34.7%, to $1,314,124 in comparison to revenues of $975,479 for the year ended February 28, 2011.  This revenue represented an average net revenue interest of 29.85% in eleven producing wells.  The average price of a barrel of oil for the year ended February 29, 2012 was $104.54 in comparison to $74.98 for the year ended February 28, 2011. The increase of $29.56 in the average price of a barrel of oil accounted for $338,645 or 100% of the revenue increase for the year ended February 29, 2012.

Our net sales volume for the year ended February 29, 2012 was 12,571 barrels of oil in comparison to 13,009 barrels for the year ended February 28, 2011.  This decrease in production of 438 barrels or 3.4% was due to the natural production decline in our oil wells.  For the year ended February 29, 2012 we had production from eleven wells with a total of 3,916 well days in comparison to production for 3,348 well days for the year ended February 28, 2011.

For the year ended February 29, 2012, the East Slopes Project represented 100% of total revenues.  The table below shows the revenues derived entirely from the sale of our share of oil and gas production from our continuing operations for the years ended February 29, 2012 compared to the year ended February 28, 2011.

**During the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company received approximately $104,017 in revenue related to the Krotz Springs Field in Louisiana as a one-time adjustment to gas revenue earned in calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009 due to well production revenue misallocation by the unitized field operator.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses declined $36,251 or 1.7% to $2,109,994 for the year ended February 29, 2012 as compared to $2,146,245 for the year ended February 28, 2011.  Decreases in our exploration and drilling expenses and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were partially offset by increases in production expenses and and depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense.  The table set forth below details our expenses for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2011:

33

Production expenses include expenses directly associated with the generation of oil and gas revenues, road maintenance, property taxes and well workover expenses.  These expenses increased $47,758, or 27.7%, for the year ended February 29, 2012 primarily due to power expenses and property taxes.  Production expenses represented 10.4% of total operating expenses.

Exploration and drilling expenses include geological and geophysical (“G&G”) expenses as well as leasehold maintenance and dry hole expenses.  These expenses decreased $16,078 or 8.7%, for the year ended February 29, 2012 primarily due to lower lease expenses as we dropped acreage in California that was deemed to be lacking in drillable prospects.  For the year ended February 29, 2012 we drilled one well that was a dry hole that was not commercially producible.  Exploration and drilling expenses represented 8.0% of total operating expenses.

DD&A expenses relate to equipment, proven reserves and property costs, along with impairment and is another component of operating expenses.  These expenses decreased $12,882 or 4.2%, for the year ended February 29, 2012 primarily due to lower amortization rates because of an increase in our proved producing reserve base.  DD&A expenses represented 15.2% of total operating expenses.

Bad debt expense (recovery) increased by $214 or 5.4%, for the year ended February 29, 2012.  Bad debt expense represented (0.2%) of total operating expense.

G&A expenses include the salaries of six employees, including management.  Other items included in our G&A expenses are legal and accounting expenses, director fees, stock compensation, investor relations fees, travel expenses, insurance, Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”) compliance expenses and other administrative expenses necessary for an operator of oil and gas properties as well as for running a public company.  These expenses decreased $88,923 or 5.9% for the year ended February 29, 2012.  This decrease was due to increased efforts to limit our overall administrative costs. Significant reductions were achieved in consulting, fundraising, legal, marketing, travel and shareholder expenses. Additionally, accounting and legal fees were reduced by approximately $64,704 for the year ended February 29, 2012. G&A expenses represented approximately 66.6% of total operating expenses for the year ended February 29, 2012.

Interest income decreased $1,474 or 69.3%, for the year ended February 29, 2012 due to lower average cash balances.

Interest expense increased $475,226 to $637,366 for the year ended February 29, 2012 primarily due to interest expense associated with the Well Works Loan discussed further in the MD&A under the caption One-Year Note Payable under Short-Term Borrowings.

Due to the nature 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 DD&A expense will depend upon the factors cited above, the size of our reserve base and the market price of energy products.  G&A costs will also fluctuate based on our current requirements, but will generally tend to increase as we expand the business operations of the Company.  An ongoing goal is to improve cash flow to cover the current level of G&A expenses and to fund our development drilling in California.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary financial resource is our base of oil reserves. Our ability to fund our capital expenditure program is dependent upon the price levels we receive from our oil sales; the success of our exploration and development program in Kern County, California; and the availability of capital resource financing. In the next fiscal year, we plan on spending approximately $1,500,000 in new capital investments, however our actual expenditures may vary significantly from this estimate if our plans for exploration and development activities change during the year.  Factors such as changes in operating margins and the availability of capital resources could increase or decrease our ultimate level of expenditures during the next fiscal year.

The changes in our capital resources at February 29, 2012 compared with February 28, 2011 are:

Our working capital deficit increased by $1,117,527, from ($2,103,849) at February 28, 2011 to ($3,221,376) at February 29, 2012.  While we have ongoing positive cash flow from our operations in California we have not yet been able to generate sufficient cash flow to cover all of our general and administrative (“G&A”) and interest expenses. This is the primary factor for the increase in our working capital deficit. We anticipate an increase in our cash flow from our East Slope operations in Kern County, California during the next fiscal year.  

We have repositioned Daybreak to better meet our corporate goals and objectives by disposing of assets that impeded our cash flow and growth in the East Slopes Project. In the last few years we have disposed of properties in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.  These actions have allowed us to move forward with our drilling and exploration program in Kern County.   

Our business is capital intensive.  Our ability to grow is dependent upon favorably obtaining outside capital and generating cash flows from operating activities necessary to fund our investment activities.  There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability.  Since our future operations will continue to be dependent on successful exploration and development activities and our ability to seek and secure capital from external sources, should we be unable to achieve sustainable profitability this could cause any equity investment in the Company to become worthless.

Major sources of funds in the past for us have included the debt or equity markets.  While we have achieved positive cash flow from operations in Kern County, California, we will have to rely on these capital markets to fund future operations and growth.  Our business model is focused on acquiring exploration or development 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 oil and gas producing properties, which may very likely require us to continue to raise equity or debt capital from outside sources.

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 economic downturn, may restrict our ability to obtain needed capital.

In the current fiscal year, we continue to seek additional financing for our planned exploration and development activities.  We plan to obtain financing through various methods, including issuing debt securities, equity securities, bank debt, or combinations of these instruments which could result in dilution to existing security holders and increased debt and leverage.  No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain funding under any loan commitments or any additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.  Sales of interests in our assets may be another source of cash flow.

35

Cash Flows

Changes in the net funds provided by or (used in) each of our operating, investing and financing activities are set forth in the table below:

Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities is derived from the production of our oil reserves and changes in the balances of receivables, payables, or other non-oil property asset account balances.  For the year ended February 29, 2012, we had a deficit in cash flow from operating activities of ($37,700), in comparison to a cash flow of $184,673 for the year ended February 28, 2011.  This decrease of $222,373 in cash flow was the result of a larger net loss and smaller positive changes in receivables and payables balances for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2011.  Variations in cash flow from operating activities may impact our level of exploration and development expenditures.

Our expenditures consist primarily of exploration and drilling costs; production costs; geological, geophysical and engineering services and acquisition of mineral leases.  Our expenses also consist of consulting and professional services, employee compensation, legal, accounting, travel and other G&A expenses which we have incurred in order to address normal and necessary business activities.

Cash Flow Provided by Investing Activities

Cash flow from investing activities is derived from changes in oil and gas property balances and Other Assets account balances.  Cash used in investing activities for the year ended February 29, 2012 was $231,388, a decrease of $923,856 from the $1,155,244 used in investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2011.  This change primarily reflects the lack of drilling activity during the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2011.

Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities

Cash flow from financing activities is derived from changes in long-term liability account balances or in equity account balances excluding retained earnings.  Cash flow provided by financing activities was $285,100 for the year ended February 29, 2012. This is in comparison to $780,000 provided by financing activities for the year ended February 28, 2011.  The decrease of $494,400 in funds provided by financing was the opening of a credit line and an increase in notes payable – related parties offset by a payment to an escrow agent for a loan commitment for the year ended February 29, 2012.  We anticipate it will be necessary to rely on additional funding from the capital markets in the current fiscal year.

Short-Term Borrowings

One-Year Note Payable

On September 17, 2010, the Company exercised a preferential right to acquire an additional 16.67% working interest in its East Slopes Project from another working interest owner.  The Company financed the additional working interest purchase by issuing, to a third party, Well Works, LLC (“Well Works”), a one-year convertible secured promissory note for the principal amount of $750,000 (the “Well Works Loan”), subject to an annual interest rate of 10% per annum, which was prepaid at closing.  Interest expense related to the Well Works Loan for the year ended February 29, 2012 was $37,500.  The interest expense was fully amortized at February 29, 2012.  The Company paid in full all amounts due and payable under the Well Work Loan on May 22, 2012.  

36

While still outstanding, Well Works had the right to convert up to 50% of the unpaid principal balance into the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.16 per share at any time prior to the Well Works Loan being paid in full.  

The Well Works Loan is secured by a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement on the Sunday and Bear leases in the Company’s East Slopes Project.  Furthermore, as a condition precedent to the Well Works Loan, the Company entered into a Technical and Consulting Services Agreement dated September 17, 2010 (the “Consulting Services Agreement”) with Well Works, whereby Daybreak would provide operating, engineering and technical consulting to Well Works for a one-year period for the purpose of evaluating 22 wells in Hutchinson County, Texas for Well Works.  

The Company also issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Well Works as a loan origination fee. The fair value of these shares amounted to $23,750 which was deferred and fully amortized over the original term of the Well Works Loan.  Amortization expense for the year ended February 29, 2012 amounted to $11,875.  The loan origination fees were fully amortized as of February 29, 2012.  

As additional consideration for the Well Works Loan, the Company executed an Assignment of Net Profits Interest dated September 17, 2010 (the “Assignment of Net Profits Interest”) in favor of Well Works, whereby Daybreak assigned two percent of the net profits realized by the Company on its leases in the East Slopes Project.  The fair value of the two percent net profits interest was determined to be $60,210 and was recognized as a discount to the debt.  The debt discount was deferred and fully amortized over the original term of the Well Works Loan.  Amortization expense for the year ended February 29, 2012 amounted to $30,105.  The debt discount was fully amortized as of February 29, 2012.

The Company analyzed the Well Works Loan for derivative accounting consideration and determined that derivative accounting did not apply to this instrument.

A Loan Extension Agreement (the “Loan Extension Agreement”) between Well Works and the Company was executed on September 19, 2011 extending the Well Works Loan for a period of 30 days.  As compensation for the extension, Daybreak agreed to pay an extension fee to Well Works of $50,000 and pay legal fees and a partial principal payment of $150,000 in aggregate.  

On October 24, 2011, Well Works and the Company executed a Forbearance Agreement whereby Daybreak requested that Well Works forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Well Works Loan and the Loan Extension Agreement from October 19, 2011 to November 10, 2011 (the “Forbearance Period”).  The Company agreed to pay interest and legal fees of $21,253 in aggregate during the Forbearance Period.  In addition, Daybreak assigned to Well Works a 3% overriding royalty interest proportionately reduced to the Company’s interest in all its leases in the East Slopes Project effective November 1, 2011.  Furthermore, Daybreak and Well Works agreed to cancel, in its entirety, the Assignment of Net Profits Interest.  Finally, the Consulting Services Agreement was extended until November 10, 2012.

On November 11, 2011, Well Works and the Company executed a new Forbearance Agreement further extending the date of the payoff from November 11, 2011 to November 18, 2011.  As compensation for the extension, Daybreak agreed to pay a fee of $12,500 plus interest due of $3,353 on the entire outstanding balance of the Well Works Loan from November 11, 2011 to November 18, 2011 at an 18% per annum default interest rate.

On November 18, 2011, the Company made a payment to Well Works of $600,000 thereby reducing the outstanding principal balance owed on the Well Works Loan and associated loan interest and fees to $253,581.

37

On November 19, 2011 Well Works and the Company executed a new Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement II”) further extending the date of the payoff from November 18, 2011 to December 20, 2011 (the “Termination Date”).  Daybreak agreed to pay an extension fee of 20% on the outstanding balance of the Well Works Loan, associated fees and interest as of November 19, 2011, or $50,716 plus legal fees of $4,000.  Furthermore, interest is payable on the entire outstanding balance of $308,297 for the 30-day period at the default interest rate of 18% per annum, resulting in additional interest of $4,561 for a total balance of $312,858 due on or before the Termination Date.

If the Company is unable to pay on or before the Termination Date all amounts owed under the Forbearance Agreement II, there shall be an additional late fee of $250,000 and an increase in the default interest rate from 18% per annum to 24% per annum (2% per month) until all amounts are repaid.  Since the Company was not able to repay the loan by the Termination Date, the Company recognized the late fee of $250,000 which is included in accrued interest as of February 29, 2012.

The Company and Well Works further agreed that the term of the Consulting Services Agreement would be extended until December 20, 2012.

On January 30, 2012, the Company and Well Works executed Forbearance Agreement III extending the Termination Date of the Well Works loan to May 20, 2012.  Along with the late fee of $250,000 under the Forbearance Agreement II, Daybreak agreed to pay a fee of $25,000 to extend the Termination Date of the loan as well as interest of $11,100 and to make monthly interest payments on the outstanding balance of the Well Works Loan through the Termination Date. Furthermore the Consulting Services Agreement term was extended through May 20, 2013.

On May 22, 2012, the Company paid Well Works $595,744 representing the outstanding principal balance and all interest and fees due in regards to the Well Works Loan that was executed on September 17, 2010, and the security interest granted by the Company in favor of Well Works in the Company's Kern County, California leases was terminated.

Short-Term (Related Party)

On June 20, 2011, the Company issued a $200,000 non-interest bearing promissory note to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer as consideration for a $200,000 loan made by him to the Company.  The term of the note provided for repayment on or before June 30, 2011, or such other date as may be agreed to by the Company and its President.  The Company and its President have agreed that repayment will be made upon the successful completion of long-term financing.  Proceeds from the note were used to meet the escrow requirement on a loan commitment from a third party that was announced in June 2011.  The escrow requirement amount is reflected as an account receivable on the Balance Sheet and will be refunded to the Company upon closing.  

On January 31, 2012, the Company issued a $35,100 non-interest bearing note to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  The term of the note provided for repayment on such other date as may be agreed to by the Company and its President.  The Company and its President have agreed that repayment will be made upon the successful completion of long-term financing.  Proceeds from the note were used to pay an extension fee related to the Well Works Loan.

Short-Term Note (Subsequent Event)

On May 18, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) with Luberski, Inc., a California corporation, as lender, and RTG Steel Company, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, as co-borrower (“RTG”), pursuant to which the Company and RTG together borrowed a principal amount of $1,500,000. Daybreak received $719,061.97 and the remainder of the loan proceeds were paid to RTG. The Loan bears interest at a rate of 5% per month, has a term of 120 days, and may be prepaid at any time in part or in full without premium or penalty.  The Loan calls for a minimum interest payment of $150,000.00. The co-borrowers’ failure to repay the principal at maturity will constitute an event of default.  The Loan is a joint and several obligation of Daybreak and RTG, and is secured by the Company’s currently producing leases in Kern Country, California and certain personal property, accounts receivable and net profits of RTG as well as a personal unconditional guarantee of the Loan by RTG’s sole managing member.

38

The Loan proceeds received by the Company were used to repay in full, effective May 22, 2012, all amounts outstanding and owed in regards to the Well Works Loan.  The security interest granted by Daybreak in favor of Well Works in the Company’s Kern County, California leases was terminated.

Line of Credit

During the year ended February 29, 2012 we negotiated an $890,000 credit line for working capital purposes with UBS Bank USA (“UBS”) established pursuant to a Credit Line Agreement dated October 24, 2011 that is secured by the personal guarantee of our President and Chief Executive Officer.  At February 29, 2012, we had an outstanding balance of $883,905 with an unused borrowing capacity of $6,095 on the line of credit.  Interest is payable monthly at a stated reference rate of 0.249% + 337.5 basis points.  The reference rate is based on the 30 day LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) and is subject to change from UBS.

Long-Term Borrowings

12% Subordinated Notes

On January 13, 2010, we commenced a private placement of 12% Subordinated Notes (“the Notes”).  On March 16, 2010, the Company closed its private placement of Notes to 13 accredited investors resulting in total gross proceeds of $595,000.  Interest on the Notes accrues at 12% per annum, payable semi-annually.  The note principal is payable in full at the expiration of the term of the Notes, which is January 29, 2015.  Should the Board of Directors, on the maturity date, decide that the payment of the principal and any unpaid interest would impair the financial condition or operations of the Company, the Company may then elect a mandatory conversion of the unpaid principal and interest into the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading days preceding December 31, 2014.

In conjunction with the Notes private placement, a total of 1,190,000 common stock purchase warrants were issued at a rate of two warrants for every dollar raised through the private placement.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.14 and expire on January 29, 2015.  The fair value of the warrants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $116,557 using the following weighted average assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 2.33%; volatility of 147.6%; and dividend yield of 0.0%.  The fair value of the warrants was recognized as a discount to debt and is being amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.  Amortization expense for the year ended February 29, 2012 amounted to $19,023.  Unamortized debt discount amounted to $80,083 as of February 29, 2012.

Proceeds from the Notes were used to meet operating expenses and fund a portion of our development drilling program in Kern County, California.  This offering of securities was made pursuant to a private placement held under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Warrants Issued for Services

During the year ended February 28, 2011, a total of 150,000 warrants were issued to a consultant for services.  These warrants have an exercise price of $0.14 and expire on April 16, 2015.  The fair value of the warrants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $14,600 using the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 2.49%; volatility of 143.5%; and dividend yield of 0.0%.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan

On April 6, 2009, the Board approved the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “2009 Plan”) allowing the executive officers, directors, consultants and employees of Daybreak and its affiliates to be eligible to receive restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards.  Subject to adjustment, the total number of shares of Daybreak’s Common Stock that will be available for the grant of awards under the 2009 Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares; provided, that, for purposes of this limitation, any stock subject to an award that is forfeited in accordance with the provisions of the 2009 Plan will again become available for issuance under the 2009 Plan.

We believe that awards of this type further align the interests of our employees and our shareholders by providing significant incentives for these employees to achieve and maintain high levels of performance.  Restricted stock and restricted stock units also enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified individuals.

During the year ended February 28, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board awarded a total of 2,550,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock to members of the Board of Directors, officers and employees of the Company.  These shares were granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan and fully vest equally over a period ranging from three to four years.

On July 22, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board awarded 25,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock to the five non-employee Directors as a part of our director compensation policy.  These shares were granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan and fully vest equally over a period of three years.

On July 22, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board awarded 425,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock to five employees of Daybreak.  These shares were granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan and fully vest equally over a period of four years.

For the year ended February 29, 2012, the number of common shares available for issuance under the Plan increased by 3,830 shares. This increase was attributable to the return of common shares that were withheld pursuant to the settlement of the number of shares with a fair market value equal to such tax withholding liability, to satisfy such tax liability upon vesting of a restricted award by a Plan Participant.

At February 29, 2012, a total of 1,003,830 shares remained available for issuance pursuant to the 2009 Plan.

A summary of the 2009 Plan issuances is set forth in the table below:

For the year ended February 29, 2012, we recognized compensation expense related to the above restricted stock grants of $91,219.  Unamortized compensation expense amounted to $42,054 as of February 29, 2012.

Oil Reserves

Daybreak’s total proved developed and undeveloped oil reserves decreased by 15,120 barrels, or 6.4% to 222,710 barrels for the year ended February 29, 2012 compared to 237,830 barrels of oil for the year ended February 28, 2011. Proved developed reserves decreased by 3,680 barrels, or 4.1%, to 85,160 barrels for the year ended February 29, 2012, compared to 88,840 barrels of oil for the year ended February 28, 2011. Production of 12,571 barrels was offset by an increase of 8,891 barrels in revisions of proved developed reserves.  Proved undeveloped reserves decreased by 11,440 barrels, or 7.7% to 137,550 barrels for the year ended February 29, 2012, compared to 148,990 barrels of oil for the year ended February 28, 2011. A farm-out of 50% of the Company’s leases in the Ball and Dyer Creek Fields resulted in a decrease of 14,565 barrels that was offset by an increase of 3,125 barrels in revisions primarily due to oil sales pricing.  Our reserves were fully engineered by Lonquist & Co. LLC (“Lonquist”) of Austin and Houston, Texas in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles and definitions and guidelines established by the SEC.

Changes in Financial Condition

Cash Balance

We maintain our cash balance by increasing or decreasing our exploration and drilling expenditures as limited by availability of cash from operations, investments and capital resource funding.  Our cash balances were $73,392 and $57,380 as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by $36,251 or 1.7% to $2,109,994 for the year ended February 29, 2012.  Exploration and drilling expenses and G&A expenses experienced a combined reduction of $105,001 in aggregate.  This reduction was offset by an increase of $47,758 in production expenses for the year ended February 29, 2012.

Operating Loss

For the year ended February 29, 2012, we reported an operating loss of approximately $795,870 in comparison to an operating loss of approximately $1,066,749 for the year ended February 28, 2011.  This reduction in the operating loss of approximately $270,879 or 25.4% was achieved through increased revenues realized from higher oil sales prices and lowering overall operating expenses primarily G&A expenses.  The average price of oil increased by $29.56 or 39.4% to $104.54 per barrel for the year ended February 29, 2012.

Net Loss

Since entering the oil and gas exploration industry, we have incurred recurring losses with periodic negative cash flow and have depended on external financing and the sale of oil and gas assets to sustain our operations.  A net loss of $1,432,584 was reported for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to a net loss of $1,215,747 for the year ended February 28, 2011.  The increase in net loss of $216,837 or 17.8% for the year ended February 29, 2012 was due to an increase of $475,226 in interest expense related to the Well Works Loan.

Selected Financial Information

During the year ended February 29, 2012, we received oil sales revenue from eleven wells in our East Slopes Project in Kern County, California. Our commitment to improving corporate profitability remains unchanged, and we were successful in reducing the operating loss for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2011.  The decline in our operating loss for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2011, is a result of both an increase in our oil sales revenue and a decrease in our overall expenses.  

41

Our balance sheet at February 29, 2012 shows total assets of $3,155,469 comprised primarily of $73,392 in cash; accounts receivable (including oil sales, joint interest participants, production revenue and refunds) of $858,609; prepaid expenses $44,777; oil and gas properties (net of Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization (“DD&A”)) of $2,073,185 and Operator Bond of $105,506.  This compares with the February 28, 2011 total assets of $3,294,808 comprised of $57,380 in cash; accounts receivable of $772,647; prepaid expenses $69,876; oil and gas properties of $2,290,001 and Operator Bond of $104,904.  The net decrease in total assets of $139,339 or 4.2% is attributed to changes in oil and gas properties and associated DD&A account balances.

At February 29, 2012, total liabilities of $4,407,178 were comprised of accounts payable (including trade and related parties) of $2,160,618, short-term and long-term notes payable (including related parties) and accrued interest of $1,318,548; credit line of $883,905 and $44,107 in asset retirement obligation (“ARO”), as compared with the February 28, 2011 total liabilities of $3,204,768 comprised of $1,928,380 in accounts payable; $1,221,266 in notes payable and interest; and $55,122 in ARO.  The net increase in total liabilities of $1,202,410 or 37.5% is attributed primarily to the credit line balance of $883,905 and an increase in accounts payable of $232,238.   

Our Common Stock issued and outstanding decreased by 3,830 shares to 48,787,769 for the year ended February 29, 2012 in comparison to 47,791,599 for the year ended February 28, 2011. This decrease was due to shares being returned to the 2009 Employee Stock Plan.  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding remained unchanged for the year ended February 29, 2012 compared to the year ended February 28, 2011.  

Accumulated Deficit

Our financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2012 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our financial statements also state that the Company has incurred significant operating losses that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.  The increase of $1,432,584 or 6.4% in the accumulated deficit from $22,406,909 as of February 28, 2011, to $23,839,493 as of February 29, 2012 was due to the $1,432,584 net loss from continuing operations.  While the net operating loss for the year ended February 29, 2012 decreased by $270,879 or 25.4% to $795,870, the loss from continuing operations increased by $205,821 or 16.8% to $1,432,584 in comparison to the $1,226,763 loss from the year ended February 28, 2011 primarily due to interest expenses associated with the Well Works loan.  We expect to continue this trend of a decrease in the net operating loss in the current year because of increased oil sales revenue from more wells being in production.

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

We continue to implement plans to enhance Daybreak’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company currently has a net revenue interest in eleven producing wells in our East Slopes Project located in Kern County, California.  The revenue from these wells has created a steady and reliable source of revenue for the Company.  Our average net revenue interest in these producing wells is 29.85%. Our average working interest in 40.15% for these same wells.

We anticipate revenues will continue to increase as the Company participates in the drilling of more wells in the East Slopes Project.  The Company plans to continue its development drilling program at a rate that is compatible with its cash flow and funding opportunities.

As a result of our successful drilling activity, we believe that our liquidity will continue to improve.  Our sources of funds in the past have included the debt or equity markets and, while the Company does have positive cash flow from its oil and gas properties, it has not yet established a positive cash flow on a company-wide basis.  It will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional funding from the private or public debt or equity markets in the future. However, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, cancellation costs associated with long term commitments, investments, intangible assets, assets subject to disposal, income taxes, service contracts, contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates and judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information.  Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on our financial statements, and it is possible that such changes could occur in the near term.  

Oil and Gas Properties

We use 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 costs (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 Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” we review 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.  We estimate the future cash flows expected in connection with the properties and compare 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.  The charge is included in DD&A.

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.

43

On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated DD&A with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.

Deposits and advances for services expected to be provided for exploration and development or for the acquisition of oil and gas properties are classified as long term other assets.

Revenue Recognition

We use 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 we are entitled based on our interests in the properties. These differences create imbalances, which are recognized as a liability only when the imbalance exceeds the estimate of remaining reserves.  We had no significant imbalances as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.

Suspended Well Costs

We account for any suspended well costs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 932, “Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas” (“ASC 932”).   ASC 932 states that exploratory well costs should continue to be capitalized if: (1) a sufficient quantity of reserves are discovered in the well to justify its completion as a producing well and (2) sufficient progress is made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating feasibility of the well.  If the exploratory well costs do not meet both of these criteria, these costs should be expensed, net of any salvage value.  Additional annual disclosures are required to provide information about management's evaluation of capitalized exploratory well costs.

In addition, ASC 932 requires annual disclosure of: (1) net changes from period to period of capitalized exploratory well costs for wells that are pending the determination of proved reserves, (2) the amount of exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year after the completion of drilling and (3) an aging of exploratory well costs suspended for greater than one year, designating the number of wells the aging is related to.  Further, the disclosures should describe the activities undertaken to evaluate the reserves and the projects, the information still required to classify the associated reserves as proved and the estimated timing for completing the evaluation.

Share Based Payments

Share based awards are accounted for under FASB Topic ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”).  ASC 718 requires compensation costs for all share based payments granted to be based on the grant date fair value.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of February 29, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.  As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc.

Spokane, Washington

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. as of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. as of February 29, 2012  and February 28, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. suffered losses from operations and has negative operating cash flows, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
