DAYBREAK OIL AND GAS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

Organization

 

Originally incorporated as Daybreak Uranium, Inc., (“Daybreak Uranium”) on March 11, 1955, under the laws of the State of Washington, Daybreak Uranium was organized to explore for, acquire, and develop mineral properties in the Western United States. In August 1955, the assets of Morning Sun Uranium, Inc. were acquired by Daybreak Uranium. In May 1964, Daybreak Uranium changed its name to Daybreak Mines, Inc. During 2005, management of the Company decided to enter the crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production industry. On October 25, 2005, the Company shareholders approved a name change from Daybreak Mines, Inc. to Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. (referred to herein as “Daybreak” or the “Company”) to better reflect the business of the Company.

 

All of the Company’s crude oil production is sold under contracts which are market-sensitive. Accordingly, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly dependent upon prevailing market prices of, and demand for, crude oil. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Company. These factors may include the level of global demand for petroleum (hydrocarbon) products; foreign supply of crude oil and natural gas; the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by crude oil-exporting countries; the relative strength of the U.S. dollar; weather conditions; the price and availability of alternative fuels; overall economic conditions, both foreign and domestic; crude oil price disputes between OPEC and non-OPEC members; and national and international pandemics like the coronavirus outbreak.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d)15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021May 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2022.2023.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.2022.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The accounting policies most affected by management’s estimates and assumptions are as follows:

·The reliance on estimates of proved reserves to compute the provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) and to determine the amount of any impairment of proved properties;
·The valuation of unproved acreage and proved crude oil properties to determine the amount of any impairment of crude oil properties;
·Judgment regarding the productive status of in-progress exploratory wells to determine the amount of any provision for abandonment; and
·Estimates regarding abandonment obligations; and
·Estimates regarding projected cash flows used in determining the production revenue payable discount.

 

 

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN:

 

Financial Condition

 

The Company’s financial statements for the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021May 31, 2022 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. The Company has incurred net operating losses since entering the crude oil exploration industry and as of November 30, 2021May 31, 2022 has an accumulated deficit of $29.730.7 million and a working capital deficit of $4.291.6 million, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

Revenue 

The Company continues to implement plans to enhance its ability to continue as a going concern. Daybreak currently has a net revenue interest (“NRI”) in 20 producing crude oil wells in its East Slopes Project located in Kern County, California (the “East Slopes Project”). The revenue from these wells has created a steady and reliable source of income for the Company. The Company’s average working interest (“WI”) in these wells is 36.6% and the average net revenue interest (“NRI”) is 28.4% for these same wells.

 

In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19") surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020, with respect to the outbreak and most countries throughout the world initiated travel restrictions to and from other countries. With the appearance of the Omicron variant travel restrictions are also in place. This widespread health crisis and the governmental restrictions associated with it, have adversely affected demand for crude oil, depressed crude oil prices, and affected our ability to access capital. These factors, in turn, have had a negative impact on our operations, and financial condition as evidenced by the unprecedented decline in crude oil prices and our revenues during this same time period.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act commonly referred to as the CARES Act became law. One component of the CARES Act was the paycheck protection program (“PPP”) which provides small business with the resources needed to maintain their payroll and cover applicable overhead. The PPP is implemented by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) with support from the Department of the Treasury. The Company applied for, and was accepted to participate in this program. On May 11, 2020,2022, the Company received funding for approximately $74,355. In February 2021, the Company applied for full loan forgiveness and later that month was notified by our lender that the SBA had forgiven our original loan in full. On March 15, 2021, the Company received $72,800 in funding through the SBA second draw paycheck protection program. Second Draw PPP loans can be used to help fund payroll costs, including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay for mortgage interest, rent and utilities over a 24 week period. The Company applied for full loan forgiveness on this PPP second draw loan and on October 6, 2021, and the SBA notified our lender that the loan was forgiven and repaid the loan in full.

On October 20, 2021, we entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between Daybreak,acquired Reabold California, LLC a California limited liability company (“Reabold”), from a third party. This property includes producing wells in both the Monterey and Gaelic Resources Ltd.,Contra Costa counties of California. This project includes four producing wells. We have a private company incorporated50% working interest with a 40% net revenue interest in the Isle of Man and the 100% ownerthis project.

In conjunction with our acquisition of Reabold, (“Gaelic”), pursuantthe Company was able to whichsecure a capital raise of $2,500,000 through the parties propose for (i) Daybreak to acquire 100% ownership of Reabold, in exchange for (ii) Daybreak issuing 160,964,489 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) to Gaelic (the “Exchange Shares”), which will result in Reabold becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daybreak named “Daybreak, LLC” and Gaelic becoming the ownerissuances of the Exchange Shares and a major shareholder of Daybreak (the foregoing transaction and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Equity Exchange”).

In connection with the Equity Exchange, and as conditions to closing the Equity Exchange, among other things we also propose to enter into agreements to sell a minimum of $2,500,000 of shares of Daybreak’s Common Stock, and a minimum of 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock, to one or more investors in a private placement expected to close promptly following the closing of the Equity Exchange (the “Capital Raise”), with the proceeds of the Capital Raise to be used to repay in full the Company’s line of credit with UBS Bank and for drilling and exploration activities and other working capital purposes.

As of November 30, 2021, all of the conditions for the closing of the Exchange Agreement have not yet been met. The Company is continuing to work towards satisfying all of the Exchange Agreement conditions including having certain conditions of the Exchange Agreement approved by the Company’s shareholders.common stock.

 

The Company anticipates its revenue will continue to increase as the Company participates in the drilling of more wells in the East Slopes Projectand Reabold projects in CaliforniaCalifornia. Daybreak’s sources of funds in the past have included the debt or equity markets and the sale of assets. It will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional funding from the private or public debt or equity markets in the future. However, the Company cannot offer any assurance that it will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as our drilling project begins in Michigan.a going concern.

 

Daybreak’s financial statements as of November 30, 2021May 31, 2022 do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute the Company’sDaybreak’s plans to improve itsour ability to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

 

Substantially all of the Company’s trade accounts receivable consists of receivables from the sale of crude oil and natural gas production from operations by the Company and receivables from the Company’s working interest partners in crude oil projects in which the Company acts asEast Slopes project where we are the Operator of the project.

Production Revenue Payable

 

Beginning in December 2018, the Company conducted a fundraising program to fund the drilling of future wells in California and Michigan and to settle some of its historical debt. The purchaser(s) of a production revenue payment interest received a production revenue payment on future wells to be drilled in California and Michigan in exchange for their purchase.

The production revenue payment program balance as of November 30, 2021 was $950,100 of which $550,100 was owed to a related party - the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The production payment interest entitles the purchasers to receive production payments equal to twice their original amount paid, payable from a percentage of the Company’s future net production payments from wells drilled after the date of the purchase and until the Production Payment Target (as described below) is met.  The Company shall pay fifty percent of its net production payments from the relevant wells to the purchasers until each purchaser has received two times the purchase price (the “Production Payment Target”). Once the Company pays the purchasers amounts equal to the Production Payment Target, it shall thereafter pay a pro-rated eight percent (8%) of $1.3 million on its net production payments from the relevant wells to each of the purchasers. However, if the total raised is less than the target $1.3 million, then the payment will be a proportionate amount of the eight percent (8%). Additionally, if the Production Payment Target is not met within the first three years, the Company shall pay seventy-five percent of its production payments from the relevant wells to the purchasers until the Production Payment Target is met.

 

The Company accounted for the amounts received from these sales in accordance with ASC 470-10-25 and 470-10-35 which require amounts recorded as debt to be amortized under the interest method as described in ASC 835-30, Interest Method. Consequently, the program balance of $950,100 has been recognized as a production revenue payable. The Company determined an effective interest rate based on future expected cash flows to be paid to the holders of the production payment interests. This rate represents the discount rate that equates estimated cash flows with the initial proceeds received from the sales and is used to compute the amount of interest to be recognized each period. Estimating the future cash outflows under this agreement requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about future revenues and payments and such estimates are subject to significant variability. Therefore, the estimates are likely to change which may result in future adjustments to the accretion of the interest expense and the amortized cost based carrying value of the related payables.

 

Accordingly, the Company has estimated the cash flows associated with the production revenue payments and determined a discount of $1,430,6481,077,642 as of November 30, 2021,May 31, 2022, which is being accounted as interest expense over the estimated period over which payments will be made based on expected future revenue streams. For the ninethree months ended November 30,May 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, amortization of the debt discount on these payables amounted to $87,00830,525 and $88,78631,970, respectively, which has been included in interest expense in the statements of operations.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

 

Various lawsuits, claims and other contingencies arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business activities. While the ultimate outcome of any future contingency is not determinable at this time, management believes that any liability or loss resulting therefrom will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

The Company, as an owner or lessee and operator of crude oil properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under a crude oil lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area. The Company maintains insurance coverage that is customary in the industry, although the Company is not fully insured against all environmental risks.

 

Sunflower Lawsuit

Sunflower Alliance v. California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division. This case challenges the state agency’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with respect to the PAL Reabold 072-00-0001 Project, for wastewater injection into an existing well.  The Petition was filed on December 29, 2021 in the Alameda County Superior Court.  The Petitioner seeks an order setting aside the state agency’s approval of a wastewater injection permit; damages are not sought in the lawsuit.  On February 22, 2022, Real Party in Interest Reabold California, LLC filed a motion to transfer the case to the Contra Costa County Superior Court.  On March 22, 2022, the Alameda County Superior Court ordered the case transferred to the Contra Costa County Superior Court.  The parties are awaiting notification from the Contra Costa County Superior Court that the transfer has been completed.  If successful, the lawsuit would prevent Reabold from injecting wastewater into an existing well until any CEQA deficiencies are addressed.  The California Attorney General is defending the state agency, which disputes Petitioner’s claims.  At this time, it is unclear when the litigation will be resolved.

The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of November 30,May 31, 2021. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change or that past non-compliance with environmental issues will not be discovered on the Company’s crude oil properties.

In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19") surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020, with respect to the outbreak and most countries throughout the world initiated severe travel restrictions to and from other countries. This widespread health crisis and the governmental restrictions associated with it, have adversely affected demand for crude oil and natural gas, depressed crude oil prices, and affected our ability to access capital. The resurgence of the Omicron variant has continued to have negative influence on our economy. These factors, in turn, have had a negative impact on our operations, and financial condition as evidenced by the unprecedented decline in crude oil prices and our revenues during this same time period.

Introduction and Overview

 

We are an independent crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production company. Our basic business model is to increase shareholder value by finding and developing crude oil and natural 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 crude oil and natural 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-termlong-term success depends on, among many other factors, the acquisition and drilling of commercial grade crude oil and natural gas properties and on the prevailing sales prices for crude oil and natural gas along with associated operating expenses. The volatile nature of the energy markets makes it difficult to estimate future prices of crude oil and natural gas; however, any prolonged period of depressed prices, or market volatility, wouldsuch as we have experienced in the last 15 months, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our operations are focused on identifying and evaluating prospective crude oil and natural gas properties and funding projects that we believe have the potential to produce crude oil orand natural gas in commercial quantities. We conduct all of our drilling, exploration and production activities in the United States, and all of our revenues are derived from sales to customers within the United States. Currently, we are in the process of developing a multi-well oilfield project in Kern County, California.California and an exploratory joint drilling project in Michigan.

 

Our management cannot provide any assurances that Daybreak will ever operate profitably. While, in the past, we have had positive cash flow from our crude oil operations in California, we have not yet generated sustainable positive cash flow or earnings on a company-wide basis. As a small company, we are more susceptible to the numerous business, investment and industry risks that have been described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 20212022 and in Part III, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this 10-Q Report. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, crude oil is shown in barrels (“Bbls”); natural gas is shown in thousands of cubic feet (“Mcf”) unless otherwise specified, and hydrocarbon totals are expressed in barrels of crude oil equivalent (“BOE”).

 

Below is brief summary of our crude oil projects in California and Michigan.California. Refer to our discussion in Item 2. Properties, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 20212022 for more information on our multi-well oilfield project in California and our exploratory joint drilling project in Michigan.

 

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 that 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. We have been the Operator at the East Slopes Project since March 2009.

 

The crude oil produced from our acreage in the Vedder Sand is considered heavy oil. The gravity of the crude oil ranges from 14° to 16° API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity and must be heated to separate and remove water prior to sale. Our crude oil wells in the East Slopes Project produce 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. During the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021May 31, 2022, we had production from 20 crude oil wells. Our average working interest (“WI”) and net revenue interest (“NRI”) in these 20 wells is 36.6% and 28.4%, respectively.

 

We plan on acquiring additional acreage exhibiting the same seismic characteristics and on trend with the Bear, Black and Dyer Creek reservoirs. 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.

 

East Slopes Drilling Plans

We plan to spend approximately $435,000 drilling three development wells in the current 2022-2023 fiscal year; however our actual expenditures may vary significantly from this estimate if our plans for exploration and development activities change during the year.

Monterey and Contra Costa Counties, California Drilling Plans

Planned drilling activity and implementation of our oilfield development plan will not begin until there is additional financing is put in place. We do not plan to make any capital investments within the East Slopes Project area for the remainder of the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Michigan Acreage(Reabold California, LLC)

 

In January 2017, DaybreakMay 2022, we acquired a 30% working interestReabold California, LLC (“Reabold”) from its previous owner. This property includes producing wells in 1,400 acres in the Michigan Basin. both Monterey and Contra Costa counties of California.

The leases have been secured and multiple targets were identified through a 2-D seismic interpretation. A 3-D seismic survey was obtained in January and February of 2017. An analysis of the 3-D seismic survey confirmed the first prospect originally identified on the 2-D seismic,Burnett Lease as well as severalthe Doud Lease are located in close proximity to one another in Monterey County. They are part of a geological feature named the Monroe Swell. The Burnett Lease presently has two directional wells that are being produced from a depth of 2,900’ from the Beedy Sand zone. The oil being produced is 19° gravity. We have future plans of drilling one horizontal well on this lease and to convert and old well bore into a salt water disposal well (“SWDW”). The Doud Lease has four directional well bores with three of those being produced from a depth of 3,300’ from the Doud A Sand zone. The oil being produced is 22° gravity. We have future plans of drilling one additional drilling locations.directional well on this lease. The SWDW for the Burnett Lease will be utilized for this lease as well.

The Brentwood Lease is located in Contra-Costa County. This lease is part of a geological feature named the Meganos Unconformity. There are presently producing two directional wells from this lease as well as one well bore that is shut- in waiting on a SWDW permit to be approved before putting it back in production. The wells are producing from the Second Massive Sand from a depth of between 4,000’-4,500’. The oil being produced is 32° gravity. We have plans to obtain an additional 3-D surveydo a work over on the second prospect after drillingshut-in well to decrease water production and to increase oil production.

Sunflower Lawsuit

Sunflower Alliance v. California Department of Conservation, Geologic Energy Management Division.  This case challenges the state agency’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with respect to the PAL Reabold 072-00-0001 Project, for wastewater injection into an existing well.  The Petition was filed on December 29, 2021 in the Alameda County Superior Court.  The Petitioner seeks an order setting aside the state agency’s approval of a wastewater injection permit; damages are not sought in the lawsuit.  On February 22, 2022, Real Party in Interest Reabold California, LLC filed a motion to transfer the case to the Contra Costa County Superior Court.  On March 22, 2022, the Alameda County Superior Court ordered the case transferred to the Contra Costa County Superior Court.  The parties are awaiting notification from the Contra Costa County Superior Court that the transfer has been completed.  If successful, the lawsuit would prevent Reabold from injecting wastewater into an existing well onuntil any CEQA deficiencies are addressed.  The California Attorney General is defending the first prospect. The two prospects are independent of each other andstate agency, which disputes Petitioner’s claims.  At this time, it is unclear when the success or lack of results of either prospect does not affect the potential of the other prospect. The wellslitigation will be drilled vertically with conventional completions and no hydraulic fracturing is anticipated. With the settlement of our debt obligations to a former lender in December 2018, we acquired an additional 40% working interest, bringing our aggregate working interest to 70% in Michigan. The first well is expected to be drilled when additional financing is secured.resolved.

 

Encumbrances

 

On October 17, 2018, a working interest partner in the East Slopes Project in California filed a UCC financing statement in regards to payables owed to the partner by the Company. As of November 30, 2021, we had no encumbrances on our crude oil project in Michigan.

California Crude Oil Prices

 

The priceprices we receive for crude oil sales in California isfrom the East Slopes project and from Reabold California, LLC (“Reabold”) are based on prices posted for Midway-Sunset and Buena Vista crude oil delivery contracts, less deductionsrespectively. All posted pricing is subject to adjustments that vary by grade of crude oil, soldtransportation costs, market differentials and transportation costs. Theother local conditions. Both the posted Midway-Sunset priceand Buena Vista prices generally movesmove in correlation to, and at a discount to prices quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”(NYMEX”) for spot West Texas Intermediateintermediate (“WTI”) crude oil, Cushing, Oklahoma delivery contracts. We do not have any

California Natural Gas Prices

The price we receive for natural gas revenuessales from Reabold is based on ninety-five (95%) of the price published in California.Natural Gas Intelligence (“NGI”) Gas Price Index under the column “Bidweek Averages” for “California”, “PG&E Citygate” less an amount per MMBtu equal to the Silverado Path On System As-Available transport date, less the Silverado Path On System transmission shrinkage rate for Silverado. The price we receive generally moves in correlation to prices quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX”) for spot Henry Hub natural gas prices.

There continues to be a significant amount of volatility in crude oilhydrocarbon prices and a dramaticcorresponding fluctuation in our realized sale price of crude oil sincedoes exist. An example of this volatility is that in June of 2014 when the monthly average price of WTI crude oil was $105.79 per barrel and our realized sale price per barrel of crude oil was $98.78. As an example, for the month of$98.78 while in April 2020, the monthly average closing price of WTI crude oil was $16.55 and our monthly realized oil price was $16.96 per barrel. Finally, in May 2022, the monthly average price of WTI oil was $109.55 per barrel and our realized price per barrel of crude oil was $106.56. This volatility in crude oil prices has continued throughthroughout most of our 2020-2021the fiscal year. Theyear ended February 28, 2022. Any downward volatility and decline in the price of crude oil has hadwill have a prolonged and substantial negative impact on our profitability and cash flow from our producing California properties. While there has been some improvement in crude oil prices for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, there is no guarantee that this trend will continue. It is beyond our ability to accurately predict crude oil prices over any substantial length of time.

 

A comparison of the average WTI price and the average realized crude oil sales price for the ninethree months ended November 30,May 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 is shown in the table below:

 

   Nine Months Ended    
   November 30, 2021  November 30, 2020  Percentage Change 
Average nine month WTI crude oil price (Bbl)  $70.34  $35.07   100.6%
Average nine month realized crude oil sales price (Bbl)  $67.97  $32.52   109.0%
  Three Months Ended   
  May 31, 2022 May 31, 2021 Percentage Change 
Average three month WTI crude oil price (Bbl) $106.61 $63.07  69.0%
Average three month realized crude oil sales price (Bbl) $106.12 $61.65  72.1%

 

For the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021,May 31, 2022, the average WTI price was $70.34$106.61 and our average realized crude oil sale price was $67.97,$106.12, representing a discount of $2.37$0.49 per barrel or 3.4% lower than the average WTI price. In comparison, for the nine months ended November 30, 2020, the average WTI price was $35.07 and our average realized sale price was $32.52 representing a discount of $2.55 per barrel or 7.3% lower than the average WTI price. Historically, the sale price we receive for California heavy crude oil has been less than the quoted WTI price because of the lower API gravity of our California crude oil in comparison to the API gravity of quoted WTI crude oil.

California Crude Oil Revenue and Production

Crude oil revenue in California for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 increased $231,325 or 84.4% to $505,410 in comparison to revenue of $274,085 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. The average sale price of a barrel of crude oil for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 was $67.97 in comparison to $32.52 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. The 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19") and the Omicron variant that has spread throughout the world including the United States had a substantial negative impact on the demand for crude oil and was largely responsible for the decline in crude oil prices for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. The increase of $35.45 or 109.0% per barrel in the average realized price of a barrel of crude oil accounted for 129.1% of the increase in crude oil revenue for the nine months ended November 30, 2021.

Our net sales volume for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 was 7,436 barrels of crude oil in comparison to 8,427 barrels sold for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. This decrease in crude oil sales volume of 991 barrels or 11.8% was primarily due to fewer days of production during the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and the timing of oil sales transportation.

The gravity of our produced crude oil in California ranges between 14° API and 16° API. Production for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 was from 20 wells resulting in 5,415 well days of production in comparison to 5,495 well days of production for the nine months ended November 30, 2020.

Our crude oil sales revenue for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 is set forth in the following table:

Production expenses include expenses associated with the production of crude oil. These expenses include contract pumpers, electricity, road maintenance, control of well insurance, property taxes and well workover expenses; and, relate directly to the number of wells that are in production. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, these expenses increased by $29,139 or 21.4% to $165,357 in comparison to $136,218 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, we had 20 wells on production in California. Production expense on a barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) basis for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 was $22.24 and $16.16, respectively. Production expenses represented 25.1% and 22.5% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Exploration and drilling expenses include geological and geophysical (“G&G”) expenses as well as leasehold maintenance, plugging and abandonment (“P&A”) expenses and dry hole expenses. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, these expenses were $235 in comparison to $73 the nine months ended November 30, 2020. Exploration and drilling expenses represented 0.0% and 0.0% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses relate to equipment, proven reserves and property costs, along with impairment, and is another component of operating expenses. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, DD&A expenses increased $1,686 or 4.0% to $44,004 in comparison to $42,318 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. On a BOE basis, DD&A expense was $5.92 and $5.02 for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. DD&A expenses represented 6.7% and 7.0% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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, investor relations fees, travel expenses, insurance expenses and other administrative expenses necessary for an operator of crude oil properties as well as for running a public company. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, G&A expenses increased $20,607 or 4.8% to $447,952 in comparison to $427,345 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. We received, as Operator, administrative overhead reimbursement of $39,965 during the nine months ended November 30, 2021 for the East Slopes Project which was used to directly offset certain employee salaries. We are continuing a program of controlling our G&A costs wherever possible. G&A expenses represented 68.2% and 70.5% of total operating expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest expense, net for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 decreased $4,026 or 2.2% to $178,220 in comparison to $182,246 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020.

During the nine months ended November 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain on asset disposal of $9,614. The gain was the result of an insurance settlement on the theft of a company vehicle that was fully depreciated.

During the nine months ended November 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain on debt forgiveness in the amount of $72,800 due to notification that the SBA had approved the company’s application for loan forgiveness on the PPP 2nd Draw loan.

Results of Operations – Three months ended November 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2020

A comparison of the average WTI price and average realized crude oil sales price at our East Slopes Project in California for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 is shown in the table below:

   Three Months Ended    
   November 30, 2021  November 30, 2020  Percentage Change 
Average three month WTI crude oil price (Bbl)  $77.43  $39.99   93.6%
Average three month realized crude oil sales price (Bbl)  $74.12  $36.58   102.6%

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, the average WTI price was $77.43 and our average realized crude oil sale price was $74.12, representing a discount of $3.31 per barrel or 4.3%0.5% lower than the average WTI price. In comparison, for the three months ended November 30, 2020,May 31, 2021, the average WTI price was $39.99$63.07 and our average realized sale price was $36.58$61.65 representing a discount of $3.41$1.42 per barrel or 8.5%2.3% lower than the average WTI price. Historically, the sale price we receive for California heavy crude oil has been less than the quoted WTI price because of the lower API gravity of our California crude oil in comparison to the API gravity of quoted WTI crude oil.

Due to the nature of our business, we expect that revenues, as well as all categories of expenses, will continue to fluctuate substantially on a quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year basis. Revenues are highly dependent on the volatility of hydrocarbon prices as seen during the last 18 months and production volumes. Production expenses will fluctuate according to the number and percentage ownership of producing wells as well as the amount of revenues we receive based on the price of crude oil. 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 including the size of our proven reserves base and the market price of energy products. G&A expenses will also fluctuate based on our current requirements, but will generally tend to increase as we expand the business operations of the Company. An on-goingongoing goal of the Company is to improve cash flow to cover the current level of G&A expenses and to fund our drilling programs in California and Michigan.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

Our primary financial resource is our proven crude oil reserve base. Our ability to fund any future capital expenditure programs is dependent upon the prices we receive from crude oil sales, the success of our drilling programs in California and Michigan and the availability of capital resource financing. There continues to be a significant amount of volatility in crude oilhydrocarbon prices and dramatica corresponding fluctuation in our realized sale price of crude oil sincedoes exist. An example of this volatility is that in June of 2014 when the monthly average price of WTI crude oil was $105.79 per barrel and our realized sale price per barrel of crude oil was $98.78. As an example, for the month of$98.78 while in April 2020, the monthly average closing price of WTI crude oil was $16.55 and our monthly realized oil price was $16.96 per barrel. Finally, in May 2022, the monthly average price of WTI oil was $109.55 per barrel and our realized price per barrel of crude oil was $106.56. This volatility in crude oil prices has continued throughthroughout most of our 2020-2021the fiscal year. Theyear ended February 28, 2022. Any downward volatility and decline in the price of crude oil has hadwill have a prolonged and substantial negative impact on our profitability and cash flow from our producing California properties. While there has been improvement in crude oil prices for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, there is no guarantee that this trend will continue. It is beyond our ability to accurately predict crude oil prices over any substantial length of time.

 

We do not plan to make anyspend approximately $435,000 drilling three development wells in the current 2022-2023 fiscal year; 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 investments withinresources could increase or decrease our ultimate level of expenditures during the East Slopes Project area for the remainder of the 2021-2022current fiscal year.

The increasedecrease in our working capital deficit was primarily due to an increasethe funding we received in our accounts payable and accrued interest balances.conjunction with the Reabold property in California. We anticipate an increase in our cash flow will occur when we are able to return to our planned drilling program that will result in an increase in the number of wells on production.

 

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 and the sale of assets. Wewe anticipate that 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 crude oil 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 will cause us to 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. The current uncertainty in the credit and capital markets as well as the instability and volatility in crude oil prices since June of 2014, has restricted our ability to obtain needed capital. The 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19") and now the Omicron variant that spread to countries throughout the world including the United States had a substantial negative impact on the demand for crude oil and is largely responsible for the decline in crude oil prices in 2020.prices. 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 available to us.

The Company’s financial statements for the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021May 31, 2022 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. We have incurred a cumulative net lossesloss since entering the crude oil exploration industry in 2005, and as of the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021, weMay 31, 2022 have an accumulated deficit of $29.7$30.7 million and a working capital deficit of $4.293$1.6 million which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On October 20, 2021,In the current fiscal year, we entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) bymay continue to seek additional financing for our planned exploration and between Daybreak, Reabold California LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reabold”), and Gaelic Resources Ltd., a private company incorporateddevelopment activities in the Isle of Man and the 100% owner of Reabold (“Gaelic”), pursuant to which the parties propose for (i) Daybreak to acquire 100% ownership of Reabold, in exchange for (ii) Daybreak issuing 160,964,489 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) to Gaelic (the “Exchange Shares”), which will result in Reabold becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daybreak named “Daybreak, LLC” and Gaelic becoming the owner of the Exchange Shares and a major shareholder of Daybreak (the foregoing transaction and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Equity Exchange”).

In connection with the Equity Exchange, and as conditions to closing the Equity Exchange, among other things we also propose to enter into agreements to sell a minimum of $2,500,000 of shares of Daybreak’s Common Stock, and a minimum of 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock, toCalifornia. We could obtain financing through one or more investorsvarious methods, including issuing debt securities, equity securities, or bank debt, or combinations of these instruments, which could result in a private placement expecteddilution to close promptly following the closingexisting 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 the Equity Exchange (the “Capital Raise”), with the proceedsinterests in our assets may be another source of the Capital Raise to be used to repay in full the Company’s line of credit with UBS Bank and for drilling and exploration activities and other working capital purposes.

Changes in Financial Condition

 

During the ninethree months ended November 30, 2021,May 31, 2022, we received crude oil sales revenue from 20 wells in our East slopes Project in Kern County, California. In May 2022, we acquired Reabold California, LLC from its previous owner. This property includes four producing wells in both Monterey and Contra Costa counties of California. Our commitment to improving corporate profitability remains unchanged. We experienced an increase in revenues of $231,325 or 84.4% to $505,410 forDuring the ninethree months ended November 30,May 31, 2022 and 2021, in comparison to revenues of $274,085 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020.

For the three months ended November 30, 2021. For the nine months ended November 30,May 31, 2022 and 2021, we had an operating loss of $152,138 in comparison to an operating loss of $331,869 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020.$1,102,557 and $80,999, respectively.

 

Our balance sheet at November 30, 2021May 31, 2022 reflects total assets of approximately $0.91$8.792 million in comparison to approximately $0.91$0.976 million at February 28, 2021. The decrease of $6,020 is primarily due to declines in our cash balance and depletion of our crude oil properties.

2022. At November 30, 2021,May 31, 2022, total liabilities were approximately $6.27$3.814 million in comparison to approximately $6.03$4.322 million at February 28, 2021. The increase in liabilities of approximately $238,000 was primarily due to an increase in payables and revisions of the production revenue payable discount during the nine months ended November 30, 2021.2022.

Production Revenue Payable

 

Beginning in December 2018, the Company conducted a fundraising program to fund the drilling of future wells in California and Michigan and to settle some of its historical debt. The purchaser(s) of a production revenue payment interest would receivereceived a production revenue payment on future wells to be drilled in California and Michigan in exchange for their purchase. TheAs of May 31, 2022, the production revenue payment program balance as of November 30, 2021 was $950,100 of which $550,100 was owed to a related party - the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive officer.Officer.

 

The production revenue payment program balance as of November 30, 2021 was $400,000. The production payment interest entitles the purchasers to receive production payments equal to twice their original amount paid, payable from a percentage of the Company’s future net production payments from wells drilled after the date of the purchase and until the Production Payment Target (as described below) is met.  The Company shall pay fifty percent of its net production payments from the relevant wells to the purchasers until each purchaser has received two times the purchase price (the “Production Payment Target”). Once the Company pays the purchasers amounts equal to the Production Payment Target, it shall thereafter pay a pro-rated eight percent (8%) of $1.3 million on its net production payments from the relevant wells to each of the purchasers. However, if the total raised is less than the target $1.3 million, then the payment will be a proportionate amount of the eight percent (8%). Additionally, if the Production Payment Target is not met within the first three years, the Company shall pay seventy-five percent of its production payments from the relevant wells to the purchasers until the Production Payment Target is met.

 

The Company accounted for the amounts received from these sales in accordance with ASC 470-10-25 and 470-10-35 which require amounts recorded as debt to be amortized under the interest method as described in ASC 835-30, Interest Method. Consequently, the program balance of $950,100 has been recognized as a production revenue payable. The Company determined an effective interest rate based on future expected cash flows to be paid to the holders of the production payment interests. This rate represents the discount rate that equates estimated cash flows with the initial proceeds received from the sales and is used to compute the amount of interest to be recognized each period. Estimating the future cash outflows under this agreement requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about future revenues and payments and such estimates are subject to significant variability. Therefore, the estimates are likely to change which may result in future adjustments to the accretion of the interest expense and the amortized cost based carrying value of the related payables.

 

Accordingly, the Company has estimated the cash flows associated with the production revenue payments and determined a discount of $1,430,648$1,077,642 as of November 30, 2021,May 31, 2022, which is being accounted as interest expense over the estimated period over which payments will be made based on expected future revenue streams. For the three months ended November 30,May 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, amortization of the debt discount on these payables amounted to $87,008$30,525 and $88,786,$31,970, respectively, which has been included in interest expense in the statements of operations.

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.

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 crude 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 36.6% and the average net revenue interest is 28.4%.

On October 20, 2021, we entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between Daybreak, Reabold California LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reabold”), and Gaelic Resources Ltd., a private company incorporated in the Isle of Man and the 100% owner of Reabold (“Gaelic”), pursuant to which the parties propose for (i) Daybreak to acquire 100% ownership of Reabold, in exchange for (ii) Daybreak issuing 160,964,489 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) to Gaelic (the “Exchange Shares”), which will result in Reabold becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daybreak named “Daybreak, LLC” and Gaelic becoming the owner of the Exchange Shares and a major shareholder of Daybreak (the foregoing transaction and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Equity Exchange”)28.5%.

 

In connectionMay 2022, the Company acquired Reabold California, LLC (“Reabold”) from a third party. This property includes producing wells in both the Monterey and Contra Costa counties of California. This project includes four producing wells. We have a 50% working interest with a 40% net revenue interest in this project.

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

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the reporting period, November 30, 2021,May 31, 2022, an evaluation was conducted by Daybreak management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is also serving as our interim principal finance and accounting officer, as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms. Additionally, it is vital that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls were effective as of November 30, 2021.May 31, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2021, thereThere have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended May 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
