Production costs for the six months ended August 31, 2010 decreased by $149,514 or
75.3% compared to the six months ended August 31, 2009 primarily because of the
completion of our production facilities. Production costs represented 4.0% of
total operating expenses.
Exploration and drilling costs increased by $40,358 or 38.8% for the
six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended August 31,
2009 primarily because of higher leasing costs. Exploration and drilling costs
represented 11.8% of total operating expenses.
DD&A and impairment expenses for the six months ended August 31,
2010 decreased $115,528 or 32.8% compared to the six months ended August 31,
2009. This decrease was due to extra impairment charges being recognized in
California for the six months ended August 31, 2009. DD&A costs represented
19.4% of total operating expenses.
G&A costs and bad debt expense decreased $120,946, or 13.1%, for
the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended August
31, 2009. Significant reductions were made in the areas of accounting, legal,
bad debt expense and travel to achieve these savings. We are continuing to
reduce our G&A expenses wherever possible. G&A costs represented 65.5%
of total operating expenses.
Interest income for the six months ended August 31, 2010 decreased
$8,189 or 83.0% compared to the six months ended August 31, 2009 due to lower
average cash balances.
Interest expense increased $45,897 for the six months ended August 31,
2010 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2009 due to amortization of
debt discount and interest on the 12% Subordinated Notes.

Alabama (East Gilbertown Field)
Prior period income statement amounts applicable to the East Gilbertown
Field have been reclassified and included under Income (loss) from discontinued
operations. The cost and expense information for the three months ended August
31, 2010 and 2009 reflect certain credits that result in this information being
additions to revenue rather than deductions from revenue. Because of the low prices for oil in
prior periods, we had previously fully impaired our capitalized cost in this
property.
The following table presents the revenues and expenses related to the
East Gilbertown Field for the six month periods ended August 31, 2010 and
August 31, 2009.

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 Daybreaks 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
25
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.
On July 22, 2010, a total of 25,000 restricted shares were granted to
the five non-employee directors, as approved by the Compensation Committee of
the Board. These restricted shares were granted under the Companys director
compensation policy and pursuant to the 2009 Plan and fully vest equally over a
period of three years or upon the retirement of the Director from the Board.
On July 22, 2010, a total of 425,000 restricted shares of the Companys
common stock were granted to five employees of the Company, as approved by the
Compensation Committee of the Board. These restricted shares were granted pursuant
to the 2009 Plan and generally vest equally over a period of four years.
At August 31, 2010, a total of 1,000,000 shares remained available for
issuance pursuant to the 2009 Plan. A summary of the 2009 Plan issuances is

For the three and six months ended August 31, 2010, the Company
recognized compensation expense related to the above restricted stock grants of
$22,126 and $42,898, respectively. Unamortized compensation expense amounted to
$178,456 as of August 31, 2010.
Summary
We are continuing to execute the Companys primary plan of developing
Daybreaks acreage position in Kern County, California. The production and
operating infrastructure is now in place and operating. We will continue to
focus our efforts on drilling development wells, as well as drilling several
exploration wells over the next twelve months; which, coupled with the
completion of our production and operating infrastructure and expectation for
higher oil prices, will increase our net cash flow.
We anticipate the need to obtain funds for our future exploration and
development activities 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. We are pursuing financing alternatives; however no assurance can
be given that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on favorable
terms, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of August 31, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partners that have been, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on
our financial position or results of operations.

TEM 4T. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Managements Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the end of the reporting period, August 31, 2010, an evaluation was
conducted by Daybreak management, including our President and Chief Executive
and 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 August 31, 2010.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There
have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys 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 systems 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.

TEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF
EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In
February 2010 and on June 9, 2010, the Company issued 135,000 and 96,000 shares
of common stock, respectively, to 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 Companys 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 Companys
common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, the common
stock was issued to the accredited investors upon the conversion of 45,000 and
32,000 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.
On
April 16, 2010, a consultant of the Company received 150,000 warrants as
payment for additional services rendered to the Company, in reliance on an
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933. The 150,000 warrants give the consultant the right to purchase up to
150,000 shares of common stock for $0.14 per share at anytime on or before
April 16, 2015.
