Reabold California owns a 50% working interest and operates 10 producing wells in the Sacramento Basin in Northern California with proved reserves of 613,000 barrels of oil equivalent. After the transaction is completed, Daybreak will have 1,085,000 barrels of proved oil equivalent with a value of approximately $17.0 million.

James F. Westmoreland, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented; “The acquisition of Reabold California, LLC is a transforming event for the Company. We look forward to developing the significant opportunities acquired with the Reabold California properties as well as continuing to develop our legacy properties. The shorter life but higher production volumes from the Reabold California properties combined with our longer life lower volume properties will create immediate positive cash flow for the Company. We will continue to build shareholder value through strategic acquisitions in the California market as well as seeking drilling opportunities in and around the two basins which we operate. Additionally, we will pursue opportunities in other geographic areas as they may arise. We look forward to having Reabold Resources as a major shareholder of the Company.”
