Daybreak Oil And Gas Inc's Business Segments

Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Washington on March 11, 1955 as Daybreak Uranium, Inc. The Company was organized to explore for, acquire and develop mineral properties 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.

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 long-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 price 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, such as we have experienced since June of 2014, does have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s focus is to pursue crude oil and natural 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 crude oil and natural gas companies or individuals. We identify and evaluate prospective crude oil and natural 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 crude oil and natural gas reservoirs and to mitigate our risk. Currently, our core areas of activity are located in Kern County, California and Michigan, 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 crude oil operations, we strive to be the operator of our crude oil and natural gas properties. As the operator, we are more directly in control of the timing; costs of drilling and completion; and production operations on our projects. In other instances, 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. However, we have our own personnel onsite during critical operations such as drilling, fracturing and completion operations.
