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 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 over-the-counter (“OTC”) market under the symbol DBRM.

Our corporate office is located at 601 W. Main Ave., Suite 1017, Spokane, Washington 99201-0613.  Our telephone number is (509) 232-7674.  Additonally, we have a regional operations office located at 1414 S. Friendswood Dr., Suite 212, Friendswood, Texas 77546.  The telephone number of our office in Friendswood is (281) 996-4176.

Oil and Gas 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 finding costs, operating expenses, administrative costs and interest expense, plus offer us a return on our capital investment.

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 price 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.

The Company’s 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 areas of activity are located in Kern County, California and Lawrence County, Kentucky; 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, such as with our California operations, 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.  In other instances, such as with our Kentucky properties, we may not serve as operator where we have concluded that the existing operator has existing operational knowledge, equipment and personnel in place, and operates competently and prudently and with the same operational goals that we would have if we served as operator.

4

Known Trends and Uncertainties

As we continue to pursue our exploratory and development drilling programs in our California and Kentucky properties the timing of these activities continues to be determined by the availability of funds through our lending facility and the permit approval process in California.  Additionally, our drilling programs are also very sensitive to drilling costs.  We attempt to control costs through drilling efficiencies by working with service providers to receive acceptable unit costs.  We plan to continue these programs as long as funding is available and drilling costs are reasonable.

In order to continue drilling in California and Kentucky, we must be able to realize an acceptable margin between our expected cash flows from new production and our cost to drill and complete new wells.  If any combination of a decrease in the availability of drilling funds and/or rising costs of drilling, completion and other field services occurs in future periods, we may be forced to modify or discontinue a drilling program.

Competition

We compete with other 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.

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 our Twin Bottoms Field project located in Lawrence County, Kentucky, there is only one buyer available for the purchase of our oil productinon and only one buyer available for the purchase of our gas production.  At February 28, 2014, these three individual customers together represented 100% of crude oil and natural gas sales receivable.  If these local purchasers are unable to resell their products or if they lose a significant sales contract then we may incur difficulties in selling our oil and gas production.

The price we receive for oil sales in both California and Kentucky 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.

California Oil Prices

Historically, the sale price we receive for our California heavy oil sales has been less than the quoted WTI price.  However, from March of 2011 through May 31, 2013, we received a premium for our California oil in comparison to the WTI price.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, the average monthly WTI price was $98.35, and the average monthly sale price was $95.83, which was a discount of 2.6% from the average monthly WTI price.  In comparison, for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, the average monthly WTI price was $93.08 and the average monthly sale price we received was $99.09 resulting in a premium that was 6.5% above the average monthly WTI price.  We are unable to forecast if we will again receive a premium for our California heavy oil sales in comparison to the WTI price as there are many factors beyond our control that dictate the price we receive on our oil sales.

Kentucky Oil Prices

Our first sales of oil in Kentucky occurred in October 2013.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, we received an average price of $96.43 in comparison to the average WTI price of $98.35 representing a discount of 2.0% from the average WTI for the same twelve month period.

5

Kentucky Gas Prices

The sale price we receive for gas per Mcf (Thousand Cubic Feet) is based on the Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. Appalachian Index (TCO Appalachia) whereby we will receive 76% of the Appalachian Index price per dekatherm (DTH) less $0.25 compression cost for each Mcf of gas delivered.  Our first gas sales in Kentucky also occurred in October 2013.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, we received an average price of $2.44 per Mcf in comparison to the average Henry Hub price of $4.06 per Mcf representing a 39.9% discount from the average Henry Hub price for the same twelve month period.  

Our oil and gas revenues from California and Kentucky are set forth in the table below.

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.  Except for encumbrances we have granted as described below under “Encumbrances,” we believe that we have good title to our oil and natural gas properties, some of which are subject to immaterial easements, and restrictions.

Encumbrances

The Company’s debt obligations, pursuant to a loan agreement with Maximilian Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and successor by assignment to Maximilian Investors LLC , a Delaware limited liability company, as lender, (either party, as appropriate, is referred to in this annual report on Form 10-K as “Maximilian”), and the Company are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and a mortgage on our leases in Kern County, California encompassing the Sunday, Bear, Black, Ball and Dyer Creek Properties.  For further information on the loan agreement refer to the discussion under the caption “Non-current Borrowings” found in the MD&A section of this Form 10-K.

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.

All of the states in which we operate generally require permits for drilling operations, require drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas.  Such states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, the spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells, restrictions on venting or flaring gas and requirements regarding the ratability of production.

6

These laws and regulations may limit the amount of oil and gas we can produce from our wells and may limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill. Moreover, many states impose a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil and gas within their jurisdiction. States do not generally regulate wellhead prices or engage in other, similar direct economic regulation of production, but there can be no assurance they will not do so in the future.

In the event we conduct operations on federal, state or American Indian oil and gas leases, our operations may be required to comply with additional regulatory restrictions, including various nondiscrimination statutes, royalty and related valuation requirements and on-site security regulations, and other appropriate permits issued by the Bureau of Land Management or other relevant federal or state agencies.

The sales prices of oil and natural gas are not presently regulated but rather are set by the market.  We cannot predict, however, whether new legislation to regulate the price of energy commodities might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures and what effect, if any, the proposals might have on the operations of the underlying properties.

Hydraulic fracturing is an important and common practive that is used to stimulate production of gas and/or oil from dense subsurface rock formations.  The hydraulic fracturing process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure intoe the formation to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production.  We commonly use hydraulic fracturing as part of our operations.  Hydraulic fracturing typically is regulated by state oil and gas commissions, but the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel.  At the state level, several states have adopted or are considering legal requirements that could impose more stringent permitting, chemical disclosure and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities.  If new or more stringent federal, state or local legal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where we operate, we could incur potentially significant added costs to comply with such requirements, experience delays or curtailement in the pursuit of exploration, development or production activities, and perhaps even be precluded from drilling wells.

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 28, 2014, 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 person” 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.  There are many factors that affect our business, a number of which are beyond our control.  Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these factors.  The nature of our business activities further subjects us to certain hazards and risks.  The risks described below are a summary of the known material risks relating to our business.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial individually or in aggregate may also impair our business operations.  If any of these risks actually occur, it could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations and impair our ability to implement our business plan or complete development projects as scheduled.  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 and Kentucky, 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 us 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.

9

Our ability to reach and maintain profitable operating results is dependent 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.

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 $1,398,352 for the year ended February 28, 2014, and we have an accumulated deficit through February 28, 2014 of $27,4752,573.  Without successful exploration and development of our properties any investment in Daybreak could become devalued or worthless.

We have substantial indebtedness.  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 28, 2014 was $13,486,654, which was comprised of a variety of short-term and long-term borrowings; related party notes and payables; a line of credit; trade payables; and 12% Subordinated Notes.  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.

10

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”) 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.

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 regulations also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from hydrators, storage tanks and other production equipment.  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.

Federal and state legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays.

Hydraulic fracturing is an important and common practice that is used to stimulate production of gas and/or oil from dense subsurface rock formations.  The hydraulic fracturing process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into the formation to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production.  We commonly use hydraulic fracturing as part of our operations in Kentucky.  Hydraulic fracturing typically is regulated by state oil and gas commissions, but the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel.  At the state level, several states have adopted or are considering legal requirements that could impose more stringent permitting, chemical disclosure and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities.  If new or more stringent federal, state or local legal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where we operate, we could incur potentially significant added costs to comply with such requirements, experience delays or curtailment in the pursuit of exploration, development or production activities, and perhaps even be precluded from drilling wells.

In addition, certain governmental reviews are either underway or being proposed that focus on environmental aspects of hydraulic fracturing practices.  The EPA has commenced a study of the potential environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing on water resources.  The EPA’s study includes 18 separate research projects addressing topics such as water acquisition, chemical mixing, well injection, flowback and produced water, and wastewater treatment and disposal.  The EPA has indicated that it expects to issue its study report in late 2014.  Moreover, the EPA is developing effluent limitations for the treatment and discharge of wastewater resulting from hydraulic fracturing activities and plans to propose these standards by late 2014.  Other governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of the Interior, are evaluating various other aspects of hydraulic fracturing.  These efforts could spur initiatives to further regulate hydraulic fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act or other regulatory mechanisms, ultimately make it more difficult or costly for us to perform hydraulic fracturing and increase our costs of compliance and doing business.

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.

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 plan to rely on external sources of financing to meet the capital requirements associated with these activities.  We may obtain any additional 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.

Our proved reserves are estimates and depend on many assumptions. Any material inaccuracies in these assumptions could cause the quantity and value of our oil and gas reserves, and our revenues, profitability and cash flows to be materially different from our estimates.

The accuracy of estimated proved reserves and estimated future net cash flows from such reserves is a function of the quality of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data and is subject to various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC relating to oil and gas prices, drilling and operating expenses and other matters.  Although we believe that our estimated proved reserves represent reserves that we are reasonably certain to recover, actual future production, oil and gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves will most likely vary from the assumptions and estimates used to determine proved reserves.  Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and value of our oil and gas reserves, which in turn could adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and the availability of capital resources.  In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing oil and gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.  Downward adjustments to our estimated proved reserves could require us to impair the carrying value of our oil and gas properties, which would reduce our earnings and our stockholders’ equity.

The present value of proved reserves will not necessarily equal the current fair market value of our estimated oil and gas reserves.  In accordance with reserve reporting requirements of the SEC, we are required to establish economic production for reserves on an average historical price.  Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than those required by the SEC.  The timing of both the production and expenses with respect to the development and production of oil and gas properties will affect the timing of future net cash flows from proved reserves and their present value.

The estimated proved reserve information is based upon reserve reports prepared by an independent engineer.  From time to time, estimates of our reserves are also made by our engineers for use in developing business plans and making various decisions.  Such estimates may vary significantly from those of the independent engineers and have a material effect upon our business decisions and available capital resources.

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.

Drilling is a high risk activity and, as a result, we may not be able to adhere to our proposed drilling schedule, or our drilling program may not result in commercially productive reserves.

Our future success will partly depend on the success of our drilling programs. The future cost or timing of drilling, completing, and producing wells is inherently uncertain.  Our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors including:

·

unexpected drilling conditions;

·

well integrity issues and surface expressions;

·

pressure or irregularities in formations;

·

equipment failures or accidents;

·

compliance with landowner requirements;

·

availability, costs and terms of contractual arrangements with respect to pipelines and related facilities to gather, process, transport and market oil and natural gas; and

·

shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs and the delivery of equipment and/or services, including experienced labor.

13

Shortages of oilfield equipment, services and qualified personnel could delay our drilling program and increase the prices we pay to obtain such equipment, services and personnel.

The demand for qualified and experienced field personnel to drill wells and conduct field operations in the oil and gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, causing periodic shortages.  Historically, there have been shortages of drilling and workover rigs, pipe and other oilfield equipment as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled.  These factors also cause significant increases in costs for equipment, services and personnel.  Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate demand and result in increased prices for drilling and workover rigs, crews, and associated supplies, equipment and services.  It is beyond our control and ability to predict whether these conditions will exist in the future and, if so, what their timing and duration will be.

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 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.

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.

14

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 Director of Field Operations, and two of our 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 28, 2014 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. If a material weakness reoccurs, this 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 28, 2014, 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 28, 2014.

However, if we were to fail to comply with rules regarding internal controls and procedures such failure 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.

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 (“OTC”) market under the symbol DBRM.

The OTC 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.

15

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 28, 2014, there were 55,509,411 shares of Common Stock and 737,565 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.

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; and

·

a preference upon any actual or “deemed” liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

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.  We have obtained debt financing through our revolving credit facility with Maximilian, as described in the MD&A section under the caption “Non-current Borrowings – Maximilian Loan”  Subsequent debt financing, if available, may require restrictive covenants in addition to those to which we are already subject under the Maximilian Loan, 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.

16

We have not held an annual meeting of our shareholders since 2010; as such, our shareholders have not had the opportunity to elect directors since 2010.

Our bylaws and the Washington Business Corporation Act state that we must hold an annual meeting of our shareholders for the election of directors and other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.  However, because we have limited financial resources, as part of our efforts to minimize our general and administrative costs, we have not held an annual meeting of our shareholders since 2010.  As such, our shareholders have not had the opportunity to vote in an election of our directors since 2010.  We plan to hold an annual shareholders’ meeting in the next year; however, if we do not, or if we otherwise fail to hold annual shareholders’ meetings in the future, our shareholders will likely not have the opportunity to vote on the election of our directors.

ITEM 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

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

18

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

We conduct all of our drilling, exploration and production activities in the United States.  All of our oil and gas assets are located in the United States, and all of our revenues are derived from sales to customers within the United States.  During the year ended February 28, 2014, we were involved in oilfield projects in Kern County, California and Lawrence County, Kentucky.  Throughout the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, we received revenue only from our oilfield project in Kern County, California having just commenced drilling activities in Lawrence County, Kentucky during the year ended February 28, 2014.  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 28, 2014.  Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, oil is shown in barrels (“Bbls”); natural gas is shown in thousands of cubic feet (“Mcf”) unless otherwise specified, and hydocarbon totals are expressed in barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”).

Kern County, California (East Slopes Project)

The East Slopes Project is located in the southeastern part of the San Joaquin Basin near Bakersfield, California.  Drilling targets are porous and permeable sandstone reservoirs which exist at depths of 1,200 feet to 4,500 feet.  Since January 2009, we have participated in the drilling of 25 wells in this project.  During the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 we had production from 20 wells including production from seven wells that were drilled and put on production in late May and early June 2013 and two wells that were put on production in November 2013.  We have been the Operator at the East Slopes Project since March 2009.

We currently have production from five reservoirs at our Sunday, Bear, Black, Ball and Dyer Creek locations.  The Sunday property has six producing wells, while the Bear property has nine producing wells.  The Black property is the smallest of all currently producing reservoirs, and currently has two producing wells at this property.  The Ball property also has two producing wells while the Dyer Creek property has one producing well.  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 the seismic data, which we plan to drill in the future.  We plan to spend approximately $675,000 in new capital investments within the East Slopes Project area in the 2014 - 2015 fiscal year.

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.  We have a 37.5% working interest with a 26.1% net revenue interest (“NRI”) in the Sunday #1 well.  For both the Sunday #2 and Sunday #3 wells, we have a 33.8% working interest with a 24.3% NRI.  We also have a 33.8% working interest with a 27.1% NRI in the Sunday #4H well.  During May and June 2013, we drilled two additional development wells; the Sunday #5 and Sunday #6 on this property.  We have a 37.5% working interest and a NRI of 30.1% in both of these new wells.  Our average working interest and NRI for the Sunday property in aggregate is 35.6% and 27.0%, respectively.  The Sunday reservoir is estimated to be approximately 35 acres in size with the potential for at least five more development wells to be drilled in the future.

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 on this property by drilling and completing the Bear #2 well.  In April 2010, we successfully drilled and completed the Bear #3 and the Bear #4 wells.  We have a 37.5% working interest in all wells at the Bear Property.  The Bear #1, Bear #2, Bear #3 and Bear #4 wells have an NRI of 26.1%.  In May and June 2013, we drilled three additional development wells; the Bear #5, Bear #6 and Bear #7 on this property.  We have a NRI of 30.1% in these three wells.  In November 2013, we drilled three additional development wells; the Bear #8, Bear #9 and Bear #10 on this property.  The Bear #10 well was not commercially productive and was subsequently plugged and abandoned.  We have a NRI of 31.7% in the Bear #8 and Bear #9 wells. Our average working interest and NRI for the Bear property in aggregate is 37.5% and 28.7%, respectively.  The Bear reservoir is estimated to be approximately 62 acres in size with the potential for at least ten more development wells to be drilled in the future.

19

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 approximately 2,200 feet.  In May 2013, we drilled a development well, the Black #2, on this property.  We have a 33.8% working interest with a 26.8% NRI in all wells on this property.  The Black reservoir is estimated to be approximately 13 acres in size with the potential for at least three more development wells to be drilled in the future.

Ball Property

The Ball #1-11 well was put on production in late October 2010.  In June 2013, we drilled a development well the Ball #2-11, on this property.  Production on this property is from the Vedder sand at approximately 2,500 feet.  We have a 37.5% working interest with a 31.2% NRI in all wells on this property.  Our 3-D seismic data indicates a reservoir approximately 38 acres in size with the potential for at least three more development wells to be drilled in the future.

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.  We have a 37.5% working interest with a 31.2% NRI in all wells on this property.  The Dyer Creek property has the potential for at least three development wells in the future.

Sunday Central Processing and Storage Facility

The oil produced from our acreage is considered heavy oil.  The oil ranges from 14° to 16° API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity.  All of the oil from our five producing 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.  We have completed an upgrade program to this facility including the addition of a second oil storage tank to handle the additional oil production from the wells drilled in 2013.  By utilizing the Sunday centralized production facility our average operating costs have been reduced from over $40 per barrel in 2009 to a monthly average of approximately $13 per barrel of oil for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014.  With this centralized facility and having permanent electrical power available, we are ensuring that our operating expenses are kept to a minimum.

Dyer Creek Processing and Storage Facility

The Dyer Creek processing and storage facility formerly served the Ball and Dyer Creek properties but its use was discontinued in November 2013.  All production from the Ball and Dyer Creek properties, formerly handled by this facility, is now being handled at the Sunday facility which further reduces our overall oil processing and storage expenses in the East Slopes Project.

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.  Utilizing the data received from a previously drilled well that was not commercially successful, we expect to drill another exploratory well on this prospect during 2015.  The Bull Run wells, if successful, would require a pilot steam flood and additional production facilities.  We estimate that the Bull Run prospect is 70 acres in size.  We have a 37.5% working interest in this prospect.

Glide-Kendall Prospect

This prospect is also 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 estimate the Glide Kendall prospect is 200 acres in size.  We have a 37.5% working interest in this prospect.

20

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 estimate the Sherman prospect is 100 acres in size.  We have a 37.5% working interest in this prospect.

Tobias Prospect

This prospect is located in the central portion of our acreage position.  The drilling targets are the Vedder and Eocene sands between 2,500 and 4,500 feet deep.  We estimate the Tobias prospect is 60 acres in size.  We have a 37.5% working interest in this prospect.

Lawrence County, Kentucky (Twin Bottoms Field)

The Twin Bottoms Field, comprising approximately 6,400 acres in two large contiguous blocks, is located in the Appalachian Basin of eastern Kentucky.  Log data from existing vertical gas wells in the field indicate the existence of proved oil reserves in the Berea Oil Sand, located at approximately 2,000 feet.  The lateral leg of each well will be between 2,000 feet and 4,500 feet in length.  We have an average 25% working interest and an average NRI of 21.9% in all horizontal wells in this project.  We are not the Operator of the Twin Bottoms Field project, but we rely on the experience of the current Operator and their knowledge of this Field.  We plan to spend approximately $2.4 million in new capital investments within the Twin Bottoms Field area in the 2014 - 2015 fiscal year.

Gerald Grove Property

The first well, the Grove H-1 was completed in September 2013 and put on production in mid-October 2013.  Our second well, the Grove H-3 well was completed in October 2013 and put on production in December 2013.  Our third and fourth wells on this lease, the Grove H-4 and Grove H-5, were drilled in December 2013 and they were put on production in February 2014.

In March and April of 2014 we participated in the drilling of four additional wells on the Gerald Grove property.  The Grove H-7, Grove H-8, Grove H-9 and Grove H-10 will share a common production facility.  We expect that first oil sales from these four wells will occur in June 2014.

Dwight Dillon Property

The first well on this property, the Dillon H-6 well was drilled in October 2013 with first oil sales occurring in March 2014.  The delay in production was caused by the unusually severe weather conditions this past winter season in the Twin Bottoms field of eastern Kentucky.

Encumbrances

The Company’s debt obligations, pursuant to a loan agreement with Maximilian Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and successor by assignment to Maximilian Investors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as lender, (either party, as appropriate, is referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as “Maximilian”), and the Company are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, and a mortgage on our leases in Kern County, California encompassing the Sunday, Bear, Black, Ball and Dyer Creek properties.  For further information on the loan agreement refer to the discussion under the caption “Non-current Borrowings” in the MD&A portion of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reserves

The following table sets forth our estimated quantities of proved reserves as of February 28, 2014.

(1)

Natural gas reserves have been converted to oil equivalents at the ratio of six Mcf of gas to one Bbl of oil

The following table summarizes changes in our estimated proved reserves for the year ended February 28, 2014.

Revisions. Net downward revisions of 1,860 BOE was a result of producing reservoir performance and our drilling program in California during the year ended February 28, 2014.

Discoveries and extensions. For the year ended February 28, 2014, discoveries of 181,762 BOE were a result of our drilling activity in the Twin Bottoms Field in eastern Kentucky.  Extensions for the year ended February 28, 2014 added 310,000 BOE as a result of our drilling program in California.

Production. Production in California accounted for a decline of 15,585 BOE in proved reserves for the year ended February 28, 2014.  The remaining production of 3,449 BOE is attributable to our Kentucky wells.

The following table summarizes changes in our estimated proved undeveloped reserves for the year ended February 28, 2014.

Revisions. Net downward revisions of 20,894 BOE primarily resulted from a non-productive well drilled in California during the year ended February 28, 2014.

Discoveries and extensions. For the year ended February 28, 2014, discoveries of 135,180 BOE were a result of our drilling activity in the Twin Bottoms Field in eastern Kentucky.  Extensions for the year ended February 28, 2014 added 310,000 BOE as a result of our drilling program in California.

Reclassification. We converted 145,160 BOE of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves for the year ended February 28, 2014 due to our drilling program in California.

22

The following table sets forth our estimated proved developed reserves as of February 28, 2014 by project location.

The following table sets forth our estimated proved undeveloped reserves as of February 28, 2014 by project location.

The Company has no proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for a period greater than five years.  Under our current drilling plans, we intend to convert all 486,116 BOE or 100.0% of the proved undeveloped reserves disclosed as of February 28, 2014 to proved developed reserves within five years of the date they were initially first disclosed as proved undeveloped reserves.

The following table sets forth our estimated proved reserves (BOE) and PV-10 valuation by project area.

The present value of future net cash flows from proved reserves, before deductions for estimated future income taxes and asset retirement obligations, discounted at 10% (“PV-10”), was approximately $21.4 million at February 28, 2014.  The commodity prices used to estimate proved reserves and their related PV-10 at February 28, 2014 were based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the period from March 2013 through February 2014.  The benchmark average price for the year ended February 28, 2014 was $97.36 per barrel of oil and $3.90 per Mcf for gas.

These benchmark average prices were further adjusted for quality, transportation fees and other price differentials resulting in an average realized price of $96.01 for oil in California, while the benchmark prices for oil and gas in Kentucky were not adjusted due to limited sales history when the reserve report was prepared.  Adverse changes in any price differential could reduce our cash flow from operations and the PV-10 of our proved reserves. Operating costs were not escalated.

PV-10 is not a generally accepted accounting principal (“GAAP”) financial measure, but we believe it is useful as a supplemental disclosure to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows presented in our financial statements.  The PV-10 of proved reserves is based on prices and discount factors that are consistent for all companies and can be used within the industry and by securities analysts to evaluate proved reserves on a comparable basis.

Reserve Estimation

All of our estimated proved reserves of 750,178 BOE for the year ended February 28, 2014 were derived from engineering reports prepared by PGH Petroleum and Environmental Engineers, LLC (“PGH”) of Austin, Texas in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles and definitions and guidelines established by the SEC.

23

PGH is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm registered in the State of Texas, and Frank J. Muser, a Petroleum Engineer, is the technical person at PGH primarily responsible for evaluating the proved reserves covered by their report.  Mr. Muser graduated from the The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering.  He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the states of Texas, Alabama, Kansas, North Dakota and West Virginia and has been employed by PGH as a staff engineer since 2012.  Mr. Muser has over 20 years of extensive oil and gas experience working in both private industry and for the State of Texas.  The services provided by PGH 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 PGH, 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 Bobby Ray Greer, Director of Field Operations.  Mr. Greer is a 1984 graduate of University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology and is a certified Petroleum Geologist and a member, in good standing, of the American Association of Professional Geologists.  Mr. Greer has over 30 years of experience in petroleum exploration, reservoir analysis, drilling rig construction, oilfield operations and management.

Although we believe that the estimates of reserves prepared by Mr. Greer 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 PGH for their analysis all pertinent data needed to properly evaluate our reserves.  We consult regularly with PGH 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.

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.

24

Delivery Commitments

As of February 28, 2014, we had no commitments to provide any fixed or determinable quantities of oil or natural gas in the near future under contracts or agreements, other than through customary marketing arrangements that require us to nominate estimated volumes of natural gas production for sale during periods of one month or less.

Summary Operating Data

The following table sets forth our net share of annual production in each project for the periods shown.  One barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) is roughly equivalent to 6,000 cubic feet or 6 Mcf of gas.

The following table sets forth our net share of oil and gas revenue by type and project area for the periods shown.

The following table sets forth the average realized sales price from each project area and in aggregate for the periods shown.

The following table sets forth the average production cost (BOE) for the periods shown.

25

The following table sets forth the developed and undeveloped oil and gas lease acreage held by us as of February 28, 2014. 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 following table sets forth expiration dates of the leases of our gross and net undeveloped acres for the years shown.

Acres expiring are based on contractual lease maturities.  We may extend the leases prior to their expiration based upon planned activities or for other business activities. We have previously determined that there is no likely benefit to pursuing any drilling opportunities on the majority of the expiring leases, so the expiration of these leases is expected to be immaterial to our operations.  Further, none of our proved undeveloped reserves have been assigned to locations which are scheduled to be drilled after the expiration of the current leases.  All of our proved undeveloped reserves are assigned to leases that are currently held by production (HBP).

The following table sets forth our productive oil and gas wells by the property and in aggregate as of February 28, 2014.  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.

The following table sets forth our exploratory and development well drilling activity for the periods shown.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Conversions

For the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company issued 453,000 shares of Common Stock to nine accredited investors pursuant to the terms of a Daybreak private placement offering held in July 2006, during which the accredited investors received shares of Daybreak Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the terms of which are disclosed in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.  The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted by the shareholder at any time into three shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Common Stock was issued to the accredited investors upon the conversion of 151,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by the accredited investors, respectively, in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 relating to securities exchanged by the issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

As of February 28, 2014, 41 accredited investors have converted 662,200 Series A Preferred shares into 1,986,600 shares of Daybreak Common Stock.  Conversions of the Series A Preferred that have occurred since being issued in July 2006 are set forth in the table below.

Common Stock Issuances

During the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company closed its private placement of 12% Subordinated Notes (“Notes”) to 13 accredited investors.  In conjunction with the Notes private placement, a total of 1,190,000 Common Stock purchase warrants were issued at the 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.  During the year ended February 28, 2014, one of the 12% Note holders exercised the warrants associated with his Note resulting in 100,000 Common Stock shares being issued to the Note holder.

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 28, 2014.  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 (the “2009 Plan”), as described in detail under Item 11. Executive Compensation – Equity Compensation Plan Information.

⁽²⁾

Reflects initial 4,000,000 shares in the 2009 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 fiscal 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 (iii) 425,000 and 625,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to employees during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 respectively; and (iv) 25,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to non-employee directors in accordance with the director compensation policy for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 respectively, as described in detail under Item 11 – Executive Compensation, subheading “Director Compensation”.  Also reflects 4,080 shares that were returned to the 2009 Plan during the year ended February 28, 2014, and 3,830 shares were returned to the 2009 Plan during each year ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.

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.

29

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 28, 2014, a total of 1,011,740 shares remained available for issuance pursuant to the 2009 Plan.  A summary of the 2009 Plan issuances are set forth in the table below:

⁽¹⁾

Does not include shares that were withheld to satisfy such tax liability upon vesting of a restricted award by a Plan Participant, and subsequently returned to the 2009 Plan.

⁽²⁾

Reflects the number 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.

⁽³⁾

In accordance with the award, on July 16, 2013, 156,250 shares were vested with 2,040 shares being returned to the 2009 Plan.

⁽⁴⁾

In accordance with the award, on July 22, 2013, 8,335 shares were vested.

⁽⁵⁾

In accordance with the award, on July 22, 2013, 106,250 shares were vested with 2,040 shares being returned to the 2009 Plan.

30

For the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the above restricted stock grants of $12,426.  Unamortized compensation expense amounted to $2,515 as of February 28, 2014.

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.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has designated 2,400,000 shares of the 10,000,000 preferred shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), with a $0.001 par value.  In July 2006, we completed a private placement of the Series A Preferred that resulted in the issuance of 1,399,765 shares to 100 accredited investors.

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

Voluntary Conversion:

The Series A Preferred that is currently issued and outstanding is eligible to be converted by the shareholder at any time into three shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  During the year ended February 28, 2014, nine conversions of 151,000 shares of Series A Preferred occurred resulting in 453,000 shares of our Common Stock being issued.

At February 28, 2014, there were 737,565 shares issued and outstanding, that had not been converted into our Common Stock.  As of February 28, 2014, there are 41 accredited investors who have converted 662,200 Series A Preferred shares into 1,986,600 shares of Daybreak Common Stock.  The conversions of Series A Preferred that have occurred since the Series A Preferred was first issued in July 2006 is set forth in the table below.

Automatic Conversion:

The Series A Preferred shall be automatically converted into Common Stock if the Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred are convertible are registered with the SEC and at any time after the effective date of the registration statement the Company’s Common Stock closes at or above $3.00 per share for 20 out of 30 trading days.

Dividend:

Holders of Series A Preferred shall be paid dividends, in the amount of 6% of the original purchase price per annum. Dividends may be paid in cash or Common Stock at the discretion of the Company. Dividends are cumulative from the date of the final closing of the private placement, whether or not in any dividend period or periods we have assets legally available for the payment of such dividends.  Accumulations of dividends on shares of Series A Preferred do not bear interest.  Dividends are payable upon declaration by the Board of Directors.

31

Cumulative dividends earned for each fiscal year since issuance are set forth in the table below:

Liquidation Preference:

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, and subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock that may rank on liquidation prior to the Series A Preferred, an amount equal to all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, for each share of Series A Preferred then held by them.  The remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred on a common equivalent basis.  Certain other events, as described in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, including a consolidation or merger of the Company or the disposition of the Company’s assets, may trigger the payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of Series A Preferred.

Voting Rights:

The holders of the Series A Preferred will vote together with the Common Stock and not as a separate class except as specifically provided or as otherwise required by law.  Each share of the Series A Preferred shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock of which 55,509,411 shares were issued and outstanding as of February 28, 2014.  In comparison, at February 28, 2013, a total of 48,837,939 shares were issued and outstanding.  This increase of 6,671,472 shares was attributable to the factors as shown below:

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.

32

Warrants

On October 31, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Maximilian Investors LLC, who has since assigned the agreement to its affiliate Maximilian Resources LLC (“Maximilian”).  In connection with this loan, the Company also issued 2,435,517 warrants to third parties who assisted in the closing of the loan.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.044; contain a cashless exercise provision; have piggyback registration rights; and are exercisable for a period of five years expiring on October 31, 2017.  On March 10, 2014, one of the third parties who assisted in this financing transaction exercised 2,118,900 warrants resulting in the issuance of 1,873,554 shares of Common Stock.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a working interest in Kentucky from App, the Company amended its loan agreement with Maximilian on August 28, 2013.  As consideration for Maximilian facilitating the Company’s transactions with App and entering into the amended loan agreement, the Company issued to Maximilian approximately 6.1 million warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock representing the right to purchase up to an additional 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis, calculated as of the date of grant.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.10; contain a cash exercise provision and are exercisable for a period of three years expiring on August 28, 2016.

The fair value of the 6.1 million warrants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $898,299 and included the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 2.48%; stock price of $0.16, volatility of 184.53%; and a dividend yield of 0.0%.   The Company determined that the warrants were issued in connection with the increase in the Company’s borrowing limit and App’s $40 million revolving credit facility in connection with which the Company was granted a 25% working interest in App’s Kentucky properties.  Consequently, the fair value of the warrants was allocated to deferred financing costs and unproved oil and gas properties based on the amount of the increase in the revolving credit facility that is attributable to Daybreak and App.

The Company also issued 309,503 warrants to third parties who assisted in the closing of the amended and restated loan agreement with Maximilian.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.214; contain a cashless exercise provision; have piggyback registration rights; and are exercisable for a period of five years expiring on August 28, 2018.  The fair value of the warrants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $47,420 and included the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 2.48%; stock price of $0.16, volatility of 184.53%; and a dividend yield of 0.0%.  The fair value of the warrants was recognized as a financing cost and is being amortized as a part of deferred financing cost over the term of the revolving credit facility.

The fair value of the above warrant issuances that were recognized as a deferred financing cost are being amortized over the term of the loan.  Amortization expense for the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 was $76,017 and $8,174.  Unamortized deferred financing costs amounted to $425,863 as of February 28, 2014.

Warrants outstanding and exercisable as of February 28, 2014 are set forth in the table below:

During the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, a total of 1,624,012 and -0- warrants expired, respectively.  The warrants that expired for the year ended February 28, 2014, had been issued to placement agents in conjunction with the Spring 2006 and July 2006 placements of the Company’s Common Stock.  During the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, there were 6,432,055 and 2,435,517 warrants issued, respectively.  The warrants issued in the year ended February 28, 2014, were in connection with the amended credit facility with Maximilian as described in Note 10 — Current and Non-current Borrowings.  During the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, there were 100,000 and -0- warrants exercised, respectively.  The exercised warrants were issued in conjunction with the 12% Subordinated Notes.  The outstanding warrants as of February 28, 2014 and 2013, have a weighted average exercise price of $0.09 and $0.39; a weighted average remaining life of 2.66 and 2.69 years; and an intrinsic value of $2,577,388 and $73,066, respectively.

On February 14, 2014, the Company at the request of Maximilian, amended the warrant agreement related to the above issuance of approximately 6.1 million warrants to include a warrant exercise blocker provision that would effectively prevent any exercise of the warrants if such exercise and related issuance of Common Stock would increase the Maximilian holdings of the Company’s Common Stock to more that 9.99% of the currently issued and outstanding shares at the time of the exercise.  All other terms of the original warrant agreement remained unchanged.

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.

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 two multi-well oilfield projects; one in Kern County, California and the other in Lawrence County, Kentucky.

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 more fully described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Kern County, California (East Slopes Project)

The East Slopes Project is located in the southeastern part of the San Joaquin Basin near Bakersfield, California.  Drilling targets are porous and permeable sandstone reservoirs which exist at depths of 1,200 feet to 4,500 feet.  Since January 2009, we have participated in the drilling of 25 wells in this project.  During the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 we had production from 20 wells including production from seven wells that were drilled and put on production in late May and early June 2013 and two wells that were put on production in November 2013.  We have been the Operator at the East Slopes Project since March 2009.

36

Lawrence County, Kentucky (Twin Bottoms Field)

The Twin Bottoms Field, comprising approximately 6,400 acres in two large contiguous blocks, is located in the Appalachian Basin of eastern Kentucky.  Log data from existing vertical gas wells in the field indicate the existence of proved oil reserves in the Berea Oil Sand, located at approximately 2,000 feet.  The lateral leg of each well will be between 2,000 feet and 4,500 feet in length.  We have an average 25% working interest and an average NRI of 21.9% in all horizontal wells in this project.  We are not the Operator of the Twin Bottoms Field project, but we rely on the experience of the current Operator and their knowledge of this Field.

Refer to our discussion in Item 2.  Properties, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on both our East Slopes Project in Kern County, California and the Twin Bottoms Field in Lawrence County, Kentucky.

The price we receive for oil sales in both California and Kentucky 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.

California Oil Prices

Historically, the sale price we receive for our California heavy oil sales has been less than the quoted WTI price.  However, from March of 2011 through May 31, 2013, we received a premium for our California oil in comparison to the WTI price.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, the average monthly WTI price was $98.35, and the average monthly sale price was $95.83, which was a discount of 2.6% from the average monthly WTI price.  In comparison, for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, the average monthly WTI price was $93.08 and the average monthly sale price we received was $99.09 resulting in a premium that was 6.5% above the average monthly WTI price.  We are unable to forecast if we will again receive a premium for our California heavy oil sales in comparison to the WTI price as there are many factors beyond our control that dictate the price we receive on our oil sales.

Kentucky Oil Prices

Our first sales of oil in Kentucky occurred in October 2013.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, we received an average price of $96.43 in comparison to the average WTI price of $98.35 representing a discount of 2.0% from the average WTI for the same twelve month period.

Kentucky Gas Prices

The sale price we receive for gas per Mcf (Thousand Cubic Feet) is based on the Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. Appalachian Index (TCO Appalachia) whereby we will receive 76% of the Appalachian Index price per dekatherm (DTH) less $0.25 compression cost for each Mcf of gas delivered.  Our first gas sales in Kentucky also occurred in October 2013.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, we received an average price of $2.44 per Mcf in comparison to the average Henry Hub price of $4.06 per Mcf representing a 39.9% discount from the average Henry Hub price for the same twelve month period.

Results of Operations - Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year 2012

Revenues.  Total oil and gas revenues for the year ended February 28, 2014 increased $828,111, or 85.0%, to $1,802,791 in comparison to revenues of $974,680 for the year ended February 28, 2013.  Oil and gas sales volume increased 9,197 BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) or 93.5% to 19,034 (BOE) in comparison to 9,837 (BOE) for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013. These increases in both revenue and volume were due to the addition of nine new producing wells in California and five producing wells in Kentucky.  Our average sales price received on a BOE basis for the year ended February 28, 2014 was $94.71 in comparison to $99.09 for the year ended February 28, 2013.

California Revenue and Production

Revenues for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 increased $519,057 or 53.3% to $1,493,737 in comparison to revenue of $974,680 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.  The average monthly sale price of a barrel of oil for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was $95.84 in comparison to $99.08 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.  The decrease of $3.25 or 3.3% in the average monthly sale price of a barrel of oil was offset by the overall increase in sales volume.

37

Our net sales volume for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was 15,586 barrels of oil in comparison to 9,837 barrels sold for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.  This increase in oil sales of 5,749 barrels or 58.5% was due to the nine new development wells put on production for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014.  Sales volume from the 11 wells that were producing in the comparative twelve month period was 8,674 barrels, a decrease of 1,163 barrels from 9,837 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.  This decrease was due to the natural production decline in our oil wells.

Production for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was from 20 wells resulting in 5,980 well days of production in comparison to 3,861 well days for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.  The increase of 2,119 or 54.9% in well days of production came from an increase in days of production (125 days) from wells in production before March 1, 2013 and from the nine new development wells (1,994 days) that were put on production between May and November 2013.

Kentucky Oil Revenue and Production

Revenues for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 were $304,858.  Our first well commenced production in October, 2013 and produced intermittently through February 28, 2014 due to harsh winter weather conditions in Kentucky. One additional well began production in December, 2013 and two other wells began production in February, 2014. These three wells also produced intermittently through February 28, 2014.  The average monthly sale price of a barrel of oil for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was $96.43.  Our net sales volume for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was 3,162 barrels.

Kentucky Gas Revenue and Production

Revenues for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 were $4,196 and commenced in October 2013.  The average monthly sale price per Mcf for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was $2.44.  Our net sales volume for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 was 1,718 Mcf.

Our oil and gas revenues from California and Kentucky are set forth in the table below:

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $202,690 or 10.8% to $2,080,129 for the year ended February 28 2014 in comparison to $1,877,439 for the year ended February 28, 2013.

Our operating expenses are set forth in the table below:

Production expenses include expenses associated with the generation of oil and gas revenues, road maintenance, property taxes and well workover expenses and directly relate to the number of wells that were producing during the year.  These expenses increased $83,493, or 62.6%, for the year ended February 28, 2014.  The increase in production expenses is directly related to our putting on production nine new wells in California and five new wells in Kentucky.  Production expenses represented 10.4% of total operating expenses in comparison to 7.1% for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.

38

Exploration and drilling expenses include geological and geophysical (“G&G”) expenses as well as leasehold maintenance and dry hole expenses.  These expenses increased $209,652 for the year ended February 28, 2014 due to the dry hole expense of $212,256 related to the Chimney #1-11 exploratory well that was not successful.  For the year ended February 28, 2013, we did not have drilling activity.  Exploration and drilling expenses represented 12.1% of total operating expenses in comparison to 2.2% for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization (“DD&A”) expense relates to equipment, proven reserves and property costs, along with impairment and is another component of operating expenses.  These expenses increased $48,137 or 18.5%, for the year ended February 28, 2014 due to our drilling activity in Kentucky.  DD&A expenses represented 14.8% of total operating expenses in comparison to 13.8% for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.

During the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, we discontinued the use of the Dyer Creek production facility in California since all production is being processed at the Sunday production facility. We recognized a write down of $39,446 on the book value of this discontinued production facility. For the twelve months ended February 28, 2013 there was not a write down on any asset.  This write down expense represented 1.9% of total operating expenses for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014.

Bad debt expense (recovery) had no activity for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014. For the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, we recognized a write-off of $232,142 for certain receivables related to fundraising activities.  Bad debt expense represented 12.7% of total operating expenses for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.

General and administrative (“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 increased $60,962 or 5.1% for the year ended February 28, 2014.  Management and employee salaries, director fees and stock compensation were relatively unchanged for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014.  Advertising, marketing and press release expense increased by $34,008 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, primarily due to public announcements relating to the new development wells being brought into production in California and the drilling results in Kentucky.  Travel expenses increased by $20,094 because of drilling activities in California and Kentucky for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014.  For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, we received, as Operator of the East Slopes project in California, administrative overhead reimbursement of $59,016 which was used to directly offset certain employee salaries.  We are continuing a program of reducing all of our G&A costs wherever possible.  G&A expenses represented approximately 60.8% of total operating expenses in comparison to 64.1% for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.

Interest income increased $318,277 for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 due to interest earned on the Note Receivable from App Energy, LLC.  For further discussion on this Note refer to the App Loan Agreement under the caption “Non-current Borrowings” in this MD&A.

Interest expense increased $888,260 for the year ended February 28, 2014 due to higher balances on our credit facility from advances made to fund the drilling program in California and our drilling activities and loan activities in Kentucky.  This financing transaction is discussed further in the MD&A section of this 10-K report under the caption “Non-current Borrowings – Maximilian Loan.”

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.

39

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 Lawrence County, Kentucky; and the availability of capital resource financing. In the next fiscal year, we plan on spending approximately $3.0 million 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 are set forth in the table below:

Our working capital deficit increased by $915,668 or 24.2% from a deficit of $3,776,382 at February 28, 2013 to a deficit of $4,692,050 at February 28, 2014.  Of this increase in the working capital deficit, $595,000 is due to the financial statement presentation of the 12% Subordinated Notes (“Notes”) being classified as a current liability rather than a non-current liability due to the term of the Notes expiring within the year ending February 28, 2015.  Accounting for this reclassification, the remaining increase in the working capital deficit was $320,668.  While we have ongoing positive cash flow from our oil and gas operations in California and Kentucky, we have not yet been able to generate sufficient cash flow to cover all of our general and administrative (“G&A”) and interest expenses.  The increase in our debt commitment was the primary factor for the increase in our working capital deficit.  We anticipate an increase in cash flow from our East Slope operations in Kern County, California and the Twin Bottoms Field in Lawrence County, Kentucky during the upcoming twelve months due to an ongoing drilling program that will result in an increase in the number of wells on production.

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 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 programs in California and Kentucky.

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 California and Kentucky, 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.

40

For the current fiscal year, we have adequate financing commitments to carryout our planned exploration and development activities, however; we may seek additional forms of 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.

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 Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities is derived from the production of our oil reserves and changes in the balances of non-cash accounts, receivables, payables or other non-energy property asset account balances.  For the year ended February 28, 2014, we had an increase of $2,229,441 in the amount of funds used in our operating activities in comparison to the year ended February 28, 2013.  This increase in funds used in operating activities was due to a reduction of $777,749 in non-cash expenses and an improvement in our net loss of $836,376, for a net change of $58,435 offset by a net change in our asset and liability balances of $2,288,068 in comparison the to the year ended February 28, 2013.  Variations in cash flow from operating activities may impact our level of exploration and development expenditures.

Our expenditures in operating activities 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 Used in Investing Activities

Cash flow from investing activities is derived from changes in oil and gas property balances and our lending activities associated with the App Energy, LLC (“App”) loan.  Cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2014 was $4,762,058 in comparison to $154,181 used in investing activities for the year ended February 28, 2013.  This change primarily reflects the cost of our muti-well drilling programs in California and Kentucky as well as approximately $2.9 million (net) in advances to App for their drilling in Kentucky. Refer to the caption “Non-current Borrowings – App Loan Agreement” for further discussion of the App loan.

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 $7,360,557 for the year ended February 28, 2014 in comparison to $109,408 for the year ended February 28, 2013.  We anticipate it will continue to be necessary to rely on additional funding from the capital markets in the current fiscal year to maintain our current drilling program.  The following is a summary of cash flows provided by, and used in, the Company’s financing activities for the year ended February 28, 2014.

Current Borrowings

Related Party

During the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2013, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer loaned the Company $250,100 in aggregate that has been used for a variety of corporate purposes including an escrow requirement on a loan commitment; extension fees on third party loans; and a reduction of principal on the Company’s credit line with UBS Bank.  These loans are non-interest bearing loans and repayment will be made upon a mutually agreeable date in the future.

41

Line of Credit

The Company has an existing $890,000 line of credit 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 28, 2014 and 2013, the Line of Credit had an outstanding balance of $882,369 and $886,458, respectively.  Interest is payable monthly at a stated reference rate of 0.249% + 337.5 basis points and totaled $31,911 and  $32,553 for the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The reference rate is based on the 30 day LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) and is subject to change from UBS.

12% Subordinated Notes

The Company’s 12% Subordinated Notes (“the Notes”) issued pursuant to a March 2010 private placement, resulted in $595,000 in gross proceeds (of which $250,000 was from a related party) to the Company and accrue interest at 12% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 29th and July 29th.  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 was $27,415 and $22,934 for the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Unamortized debt discount amounted to $29,734 as of February 28, 2014.

For the year ended February 28, 2014, there was one 12% Subordinated noteholder who exercised the warrants associated with the 12% Note.  A total of 50,000 warrants were exercised and resulted in 100,000 shares of common stock being issued to the noteholder.

Non-current Borrowings

Maximilian Loan

On October 31, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Maximilian which provided for a revolving credit facility of up to $20 million, maturing on October 31, 2016, with a minimum commitment of $2.5 million.  The loan had annual interest of 18% and a monthly commitment fee of 0.5%.  The Company also granted Maximilian a 10% working interest in its share of the oil and gas leases in Kern County, California. The relative fair value of this 10% working interest amounting to $515,638 was recognized as a debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the loan. Amortization expense for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 amounted to $131,963.  Unamortized debt discount amounted to $343,053 as of February 28, 2014.

The Company also issued in 2012, 2,435,517 warrants to third parties who assisted in the closing of the loan.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.044; contain a cashless exercise provision; have piggyback registration rights; and are exercisable for a period of five years expiring on October 31, 2017.  The fair value of the warrants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $98,084 and included the following assumptions: a risk free interest rate of 0.72%; stock price of $0.04, volatility of 153.44%; and a dividend yield of 0.0%.  The fair value of the warrants was recognized as a financing cost and is being amortized as a part of deferred financing cost over the term of the loan.

42

Maximilian Loan - Amended and Restated Loan Agreement

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a working interest from App Energy, LLC (“App”) in the Twin Bottoms Field in Lawrence County, Kentucky, the Company amended its loan agreement with Maximilian on August 28, 2013. The amended loan agreement provided for an increase in the revolving credit facility from $20 million to $90 million and a reduction in the annual interest rate from 18% to 12%.   The monthly commitment fee of 0.5% per month on the outstanding principal balance remained unchanged.  Advances under the amended loan agreement will mature on August 28, 2017.  The obligations under the amended loan agreement continue to be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, and a mortgage on the Company’s leases in Kern County, California.  The amended loan agreement also provided for the revolving credit facility to be divided into two borrowing sublimits.  The first borrowing sublimit is $50 million and is for borrowing by the Company, primarily for its ongoing oil and gas exploration and development activities.  The second borrowing sublimit, of $40 million, is for loans to be extended by the Company, as lender, to App, as borrower pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement entered into between the Company and App on August 28, 2013 (See the caption “App Loan Agreement” in the discussion below for further information).

The amended loan agreement contains customary covenants for loan of such type, including among other things, covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness, incur liens and dispose of property.  The amended loan agreement also contains various events of default, including failure to pay principal and interest when due, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations and bankruptcy or insolvency.  If an event of default occurs, all of the Company’s obligations under the amended loan agreement could be accelerated by Maximilian, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.

As consideration for Maximilian facilitating the Company’s transactions with App and entering into the amended loan agreement, the Company (a) issued to Maximilian, approximately 6.1 million common shares representing 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time of grant, and (b) issued approximately 6.1 million warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock representing the right to purchase up to an additional 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis, calculated as of the date of grant.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.10; contain a cash exercise provision; are exercisable for a period of three years expiring on August 28, 2016; and contain an exercise provison blocker that prevents any exercise of the warrants if such exercise and related issuance of Common Stock would increase the Maximilian holdings of the Company’s Common Stock to more than 9.99% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding shares at the time of the exercise.  The Company also granted to Maximilian a 50% net profits interest in the Company’s 25% working interest, after the Company recovers its investment, in the Company’s working interest in its Kentucky properties, pursuant to an Assignment of Net Profits Interest entered into as of August 28, 2013 by and between the Company and Maximilian.

The Company evaluated the amendment of the revolving credit facility under ASC 470-50-40 and determined that the Company’s borrowing capacity under the amended loan agreement exceeded its borrowing capacity under the old loan agreement.  Consequently, the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs as of the date of amendment of approximately $400,349 and the new deferred financing costs, as mentioned above, were amortized over the term of the amended loan agreement.

During the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, the Company received multiple advances totaling $7,755,200 in aggregate that were used to participate in the Company’s spring and fall 2013 drilling programs at its East Slopes Project in Kern County, California; the drilling of its working interest in the Twin Bottoms Field in Kentucky; and, the advance of funds to App through a long-term note receivable.  The Company has recognized $1,577,562 in deferred financing costs associated with these advances which are being amortized over the amended term of the revolving credit facility.

Current debt balances at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 are set forth in the table below:

Non-current debt balances at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 are set forth in the table below:

App Loan Agreement

In connection with amending and restating its loan agreement with Maximilian, on August 28, 2014 the Company extended to App Energy, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“App”) a credit facility for the development of a shallow oil project in an existing gas field in Lawrence County, Kentucky pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement between the Company as lender and App as borrower (the “App Loan Agreement”).

The App Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $40 million, maturing on August 28, 2017, with a minimum commitment of $2.65 million (the “Initial Advance”).  All funds advanced to App, as borrower, by Daybreak, as lender, are to be borrowed by Daybreak under its Amended Loan Agreement with Maximilian.  The Initial Advance bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 16.8%, and subsequent loans under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 12%.  The App Loan Agreement also provides for a monthly commitment fee of 0.6% per month of the outstanding principal balance of the loans.  The obligations under the App Loan Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of App, including the Company’s leases in Lawrence County, Kentucky.

The proceeds of the initial borrowing by App of $2.65 million under the App facility were primarily used to (a) pay loan fees and closing costs, (b) repay indebtedness and (c) finance the drilling of three wells by App in the Twin Bottoms Field in Lawrence County, Kentucky in which the Company has a 25% working interest.  Future advances under the facility will primarily be used for oil and gas exploration and development activities.

The App Loan Agreement contains customary covenants for loan of such type, including, among other things, covenants that restrict App’s ability to make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness, incur liens and dispose of property.  The App Loan Agreement also contains various events of default, including failure to pay principal and interest when due, breach of covenants, materially incorrect representations and bankruptcy or insolvency.  If an event of default occurs, all of App’s obligations under the App Loan Agreement could be accelerated by the Company, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.

In connection with the App Loan Agreement, App also granted to the Company the 25% working interest approximately 6,400 acres in two large contiguous blocks in the Twin Bottoms Field in Lawrence County, Kentucky and entered into a corresponding promissory note and a Mortgage, Leasehold Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement, both dated as of August 28, 2013.  App’s manager, John A. Piedmonte, Jr., also entered into a limited Indemnity Agreement in connection with the loan.  The loans under the App Loan Agreement are also guaranteed by certain of App’s affiliates.

At February 28, 2014, the Company had advanced $3,550,000 to App through its credit facility.  The total amount advanced includes fees paid in connection with the loan amounting to $72,000 and settlement of App’s existing obligation to another lender of $200,386 which were paid directly by Maximilian.

Note receivable balances at February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 are set forth in the table below:

Capital Commitments

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.

44

Encumbrances

The Company’s debt obligations, pursuant to a loan agreement entered into by and among Maximilian and the Company are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, and a mortgage on our leases in Kern County, California.  This includes mortgages on the Sunday, Bear, Black, Ball and Dyer Creek Properties in California.  For further information on the loan agreement with Maximilian refer to the discussion above under the caption “Non-current Borrowings” in this MD&A.

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 years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, an aggregate of 266,755 and 904,845 shares vested, respectively.  For the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, the number of common shares available for issuance under the Plan increased by 4,080 and 3,830 shares, respectively.  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 28, 2014, a total of 2,882,010 shares of restricted stock had been awarded and remained outstanding under the 2009 Plan, and 2,893,750 of the shares had fully vested.  A total of 1,011,740 common stock shares remained available at February 28, 2014 for issuance pursuant to the 2009 Plan.  A summary of the 2009 Plan issuances is set forth in the table below:

⁽¹⁾

In accordance with the award, on July 22, 2013, 8,335 shares were vested.

⁽⁵⁾

In accordance with the award, on July 22, 2013, 106,250 shares were vested with 2,040 shares being returned to the 2009 Plan.

45

For the years ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the above restricted stock grants of $12,426 and $27,134, respectively.  Unamortized compensation expense amounted to $2,515 as of February 28, 2014.

Oil and Gas Reserves

Daybreak’s total proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas reserves on a barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) basis increased by 470,868 barrels, or 168.6%, to 750,178 barrels for the year ended February 28, 2014 compared to 279,310 BOE for the year ended February 28, 2013.  Our Kentucky project added 173,971 barrels of oil and 26,090 Mcf of gas or an additional 4,348 BOE to our proved reserve base.  Proved developed oil reserves increased by 191,736 BOE or 365.1%, to 264,056 BOE for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014 compared to 72,320 barrels of oil for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.  This increase was due to conversion of 104,368 BOE of proved undeveloped reserves in California to developed reserves and the addition of 43,126 BOE due to our involvement in Kentucky.  Proved undeveloped reserves increased by 135,180 BOE due to our involvement in Kentucky, and 3101,462 due to additional proved undeveloped reserves being added in California due to the results of our drilling program in California during the year ended February 28, 2014.  Our reserves were fully engineered by PGH Petroleum and Environmental Engineers, LLC of Austin, Texas in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles and definitions and guidelines established by the SEC.  For further information on our reserve report, refer to exhibit 99.1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Financial Condition

During the year ended February 28, 2014, we received crude oil sales revenue from 20 wells in our East Slopes Project in Kern County, California and crude oil and gas from four wells in Lawrence County, Kentucky.  Our commitment to improving corporate profitability remains unchanged. During the year ended February 28, 2014, we were successful in reducing the operating loss by $625,421 or 69.3% to $277,338 in comparison to $902,759 for the year ended February 28, 2013. This achievement was accomplished by increasing revenues and controlling all expenses in an aggressive manner.

Our balance sheet at February 28, 2014 reflects total assets of $10,677,910 in comparison to $2,619,853 shown on the February 28, 2013 balance sheet.  This increase of approximately $8.0 million is comprised primarily of a $2.7 million increase in oil and gas properties; a $3.6 million increase in notes receivable and $1.0 million in deferred financing costs; and $0.8 million increase in cash and receivables for the year ended February 28, 2014.

At February 28, 2014, total liabilities were $13,486,654 in comparison to $5,981,245 as of February 28, 2013. This increase of approximately $7.5 million was due to increased borrowing through our credit facility for the multi-well drilling costs in California and Kentucky and our lending activities to a third party associated with the Kentucky drilling.

Our common stock issued and outstanding increased by 6,671,472 shares to 55,509,411 for the year ended February 28, 2014 in comparison to 48,837,939 for the year ended February 28, 2013.  This increase in shares was primarily due to the issuance of 6,122,552 as a part of our acquiring an average 25% working interest in the Twin Bottoms Field in Kentucky.  Additionally, share issuances were related to the conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred stock to common stock and the exercise of warrants for common stock related to our 12% Subordinated Notes.

Accumulated Deficit

Our financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2014 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 show 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 $1,398,352 or 5.4% in the accumulated deficit from $26,074,221 as of February 28, 2013 to $27,472,573 as of February 28, 2014 was due to the $1,398,352 net loss for the year.  Approximately $1,439,709 of the net loss can be attributed to interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs.  For the year ended February 28, 2014 we had a net operating loss of $277,338.  We expect to be able to lower our net operating loss in the current year because of increased oil sales revenue from more wells being in production.

46

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 $500,431 and 79,996 as of February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Oil revenues

Oil revenues increased $828,111 or 85.0% to $1,802,791 for the year ended February 28, 2014 in comparison to $974,680 for the year ended February 28, 2013.  This increase was due to putting 9 more wells on production in California and four wells on production in Kentucky.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $202,690 or 10.8% to $2,080,129 for the year ended February 28, 2014.  The increase was primarily related to putting 14 more wells on production in California and Kentucky and drilling one non-productive well in California.

Operating Loss

For the year ended February 28, 2013, we reported an operating loss of $277,338 in comparison to an operating loss of $902,759 for the year ended February 28, 2013.  This decrease in the operating loss of $625,421 or 69.3% was due to the increase in revenue from 14 additional wells put on production in California and Kentucky.

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 $1,398,352 was reported for the year ended February 28, 2014 in comparison to a net loss of $2,234,728 for the year ended February 28, 2013.  The decrease in net loss of $836,376 or 37.4% for the year ended February 28, 2014 was due to an increase in revenues offset by an increase in interest expense.

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 20 producing oil 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 working interest in these wells is 36.8% and the average net revenue interest is 28.4%.  During the year ended February 28, 2014, we successfully drilled and put on production nine additional development wells at our Sunday, Bear, Black and Ball locations.

Additionally, we have become involved in a shallow oil play in an existing gas field in Lawrence County, Kentucky, through our acquisition of a 25% working interest in approximately 6,400 acres in two large contiguous acreage blocks in the Twin Bottoms Field in Lawrence County, Kentucky.  The initial drilling program involved drilling five horizontal oil wells which have all been completed and are now producing.  The Company received its first Kentucky oil revenue from October production in November 2013.  Additionally, we have just completed drilling another four horizontal oil wells in Kentucky and expect production to commence sometime in June 2014.

We anticipate revenues will continue to increase as the Company participates in the drilling of more wells in the East Slopes Project in California and the Twin Bottoms Field in Kentucky.  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.

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 28, 2014 and 2013.

48

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 28, 2014, 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. (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ 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 28, 2014 and 2013 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.
