Proxy Statement Pursuant
to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
We are pleased to provide you notice of, and to invite you to attend, a
Special Meeting of the Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Daybreak”,
the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), as called by the Board of Directors to be held on
May 20, 2022 at 10:00 a.m., local time, at
4800 Bee Caves Rd., Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78746 (subject to postponement(s) or adjournment(s)
thereof).
The attached Notice of Special
Meeting of Shareholders and proxy statement provide more information concerning the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. We
do not expect to transact any other business at the Special Meeting.
Daybreak has faced the challenges
of declining oil prices (historically) and the lack of outside financing for several years. We have been working steadily to minimize
overhead and unnecessary expenditures, simplify our share structure, and position the Company for a strategic turnaround transaction.
We are excited to let you know that we have simplified and optimized the Company, and have entered into an agreement for a proposed transaction
that we believe will position Daybreak for future success.
On October 20, 2021, and subsequently
amended on February 22, 2022, we entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement (as amended, 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 $0.001 (“Common Stock”) to Gaelic (the “Exchange Shares”), which will result in Reabold becoming
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daybreak named “Reabold California, 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, we also propose to:
Further, in connection
with the Equity Exchange, and as conditions to closing the Equity Exchange, we have already taken the following steps to simplify the
Company’s share structure and eliminate indebtedness:
The Daybreak Board of Directors
believes the Equity Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby and described above, are the best path forward for the Company
and are in the best interest of the shareholders.
At the Special Meeting,
we will be seeking the shareholder approvals necessary to complete the Equity Exchange. Specifically, we will be asking you to, among
other things:
Further, as we
have previously disclosed, due to our limited financial resources, the Company has not held an annual meeting of our shareholders since
2010. Therefore, at the Special Meeting, in addition to matters involving the Equity Exchange and the election of directors, we will
also be asking you to consider the following matters:
Since our proxy materials are
being furnished fewer than 40 days prior to the shareholder meeting date, we are mailing our shareholders a paper copy of this proxy statement,
a proxy card, a letter to shareholders from our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended February 28, 2021. Pursuant to rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, we are also providing access
to our proxy materials over the Internet.
Your vote is important. Enclosed is a proxy
that will entitle you to vote your shares on the matters presented at the Special Meeting, even if you are unable to attend in person.
You may vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone using the instructions on the Notice, or, if you received a paper copy of the
proxy card, you can mark the proxy to indicate your vote, date and sign the proxy and return it in the enclosed envelope as soon as possible
for receipt prior to the Special Meeting. Regardless of the number of shares you own; please be sure you are represented at the Special
Meeting either by attending in person or by returning your proxy or voting on the internet as soon as possible.
We are excited about the opportunities
for the Company’s future, and our Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares in favor of the proposals to be presented
at the Special Meeting. On behalf of our Board of Directors, thank you for your continued interest in Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. We look
forward to seeing you on May 20, 2022.
The accompanying proxy statement
is dated April 21, 2022, and is first being mailed to Daybreak shareholders on or about April 21, 2022.
SHAREHOLDER
PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange
Act, shareholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in our next annual meeting, anticipated to be held in July 2022. We must receive
any shareholder’s proposal intended to be presented at our next annual meeting at our principal executive offices no later than
May 15, 2022, which is a reasonable time before the company begins to print and send its proxy materials, if the proposal is to be considered
for inclusion in our proxy statement relating to the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A proposal submitted after May 15, 2022 will be
considered untimely.
Nominations for election of
directors by shareholders must be received by the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office by [•] to be properly nominated
before the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, although we are not required to include such nominees in our proxy statement.
In addition, in the event a shareholder proposal is not submitted to
us prior to May 15, 2022, the proxy to be solicited will authorize the proxies to vote the shares in accordance with their best
judgment and discretion if a proposal is presented at the meeting without any discussion of the proposal in the proxy statement for
such meeting.

5 days after receipt by Parent of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by an independent accountant mutually selected by
Parent and Member (the “Independent Accountant”) and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final.
The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within 30 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures
as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the

(a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall
not affect Parent’s right to indemnification hereunder. Parent shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided,
however, that Parent shall obtain the prior written consent of Member (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Member shall be entitled
to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate
counsel shall be borne solely by Member.
Section 6.06
Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Member, Company and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation

the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents
relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the
respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other
documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Member, Company
or Parent (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other parties the opportunity

and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:
(a)
The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under this Article VIII until the aggregate
amount of all Losses in respect

$25,000 (the "Basket"), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in

(g) Member shall
not be liable under this Article VIII for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations

Section
8.05 Indemnification Procedures. For purposes of this
Article VIII, (i) if Parent (or any other Parent Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to Indemnifying Party
(except provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to Member, and (ii) if Parent comprises the Indemnifying
Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to Member.
(a)
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought
by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a
“Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide
indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof,
but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt
written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the
Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated
amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim
at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate
in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Member, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right
to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier
or customer of Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying
Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as
it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on
behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with
counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified
Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the
Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be
waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction
for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third
Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails
to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise,
defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party
Claim. Member and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party
Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement
of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary
for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(b)
Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not
enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this
Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial
or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified
Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and
agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party
fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or
defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not
exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense
of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle
such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any
settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c)
Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a
“Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written
notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to
give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party
shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate
the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying
Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow
the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim,
and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying
Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Company’s premises and personnel and
the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably
request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected
such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on
the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding
in respect of Taxes of Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties
in Section 3.20 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in
Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.
Section 8.06
Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article
VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 10 Business Days of such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication.
The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not fully satisfy any such obligations within such 10 Business Day period,
any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable
adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%). Such interest shall be calculated
daily on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
Section

this Agreement, a Person shall be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person has the right
to then acquire or obtain from the Company
any Registrable Securities, whether or not such acquisition has actually been effected). As to any particular Registrable Securities,
such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) the Commission has declared a Registration Statement covering such securities
effective and such securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) such securities are sold under
circumstances in which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act are met, (iii) such securities become eligible

2.
Demand Registration.
(a)
At any time after the date of this Agreement, holders of [a majority][1]
of the Registrable Securities then outstanding may request registration under the Securities Act of all or a percentage of their Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto; provided that the aggregate offering price
to the public, net of discounts and commissions, must exceed $2,000,000 (each, a “Demand Registration”). Each request
for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration. Upon
receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following receipt thereof) deliver
notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have seven (7) days from the date such notice is
given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or
confidentially submit to) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable
Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Demand Registration within sixty (60) days after the date on
which the initial request is given and shall use its
________________________________
1 Subject to confirmation that
Gaelic will hold a majority of the Registrable Securities.
commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall not be required
to effect a Demand Registration more than two (2) times for the holders of Registrable Securities as a group.
(b)
The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 180 days after the effective date of a previous Demand
Registration, or a previous Piggyback Registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register the offer and
sale under the Securities Act, and actually sold, at least twenty five percent (25%) of their Registrable Securities. The Company may
postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Board determines
in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate
organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of
material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable
to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; provided, that in such event the holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities initiating such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request for a Demand
Registration is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company
shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once
in any period of 12 consecutive months.
(c)
If the holders of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Demand Registration elect to distribute the Registrable Securities
covered by their request in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section
2(a), and the Company shall include such information in its notice to the other holders of Registrable Securities. The holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting the Demand Registration shall select the investment banking firm or firms
to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering; provided, that such selection shall be subject
to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d)
If a Demand Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of the requested Demand Registration advises
the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of
Common Stock proposed to be included in the Demand Registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock
proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such underwritten
offering and/or the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Demand Registration would adversely affect the price
per share of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration
(i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the holders of Registrable Securities propose to sell, and (ii) second, the shares of Common
Stock proposed to be included therein by any other Persons
(including shares of Common Stock to be
sold for the account of the Company and/or other holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree.
If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold can be included in such offering,
then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective holders thereof on
the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.
3.
Piggyback Registration.
(a)
Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other
than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale
to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to
a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any
successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account
or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Registration
Statement”) to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”),
the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement)
to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 3(b) and Section
3(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests
for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities within seven (7) days after the Company’s notice has been given to each
such holder. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole
discretion. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.
(b)
If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter
advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable
Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock
proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be
included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the
number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common
Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company
proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated
pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they
may otherwise agree; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than
holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner
as they may agree; provided, that
in any event the holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to register the offer and sale or distribute at least twenty percent
(20%) of the securities to be included in any such registration.
(c)
If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Registrable
Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares
of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock
proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering
and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per
share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common
Stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration and by the holders of Registrable Securities, allocated
pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities (on a fully
diluted, as converted basis) and the number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such holders or in such manner as they
may otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by other holders of Common Stock, allocated
among such holders in such manner as they may agree.
(d)
If any Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select
the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering.
4.
Registration Procedures. If and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities request that the offer and sale of any Registrable
Securities be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as soon as practicable and as applicable:
(a)
subject to Section 2(a), prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective;
(b)
in the case of a Demand Registration, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements
to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective for a period of not less than ninety (90) days, or if earlier, until all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of
and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement;
(c)
within a reasonable time before filing such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto with the Commission,
furnish to one counsel selected by holders of a majority of such Registrable Securities copies of such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents shall be subject to the review, comment and approval of such counsel;
(d)
notify each selling holder of Registrable Securities, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such
Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has
been filed with the Commission;
(e)
furnish to each selling holder of Registrable Securities such number of copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration
Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents incorporated
by reference therein), and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such seller;
(f)
use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue
sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any selling holder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
owned by such holders; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business, subject itself to
general taxation or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to do so but for
this Section 4(f);
(g)
notify each selling holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event that would cause the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement to contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit any fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such holder, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading;
(h)
make available for inspection by any selling holder of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such holder or underwriter (collectively,
the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively,
the “Records”), and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably

Securities initially requesting such registration,

In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions

the Company shall not be responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with a Demand Registration if the registration request is

registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne and paid by the holders of such Registrable Securities,
in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration for each such holder.
6.
Indemnification.
(a)
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, such
holder’s officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders and Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other Person
acting on behalf of such holder of Registrable Securities and each other Controlling Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing
Persons, against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons
may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise
out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus,
preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any
of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are
caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s
failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule
405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable
law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written
confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.
(b)
In connection with any registration in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish
to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement
or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company, each
officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the holders
of Registrable Securities and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses, claims, actions, damages,
liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto)
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained
in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint
and several, for each holder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts)
actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall
be in addition to any liability the selling holder may otherwise have.
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this
Section 6, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice
to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action
shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an
indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action
that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to
the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that,
if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such
indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation
involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction
or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party’s prior written
consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such
indemnifying party shall reimburse such
indemnified party and any Controlling Person of such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained
by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party
is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any
indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect
to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(d)
If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum amount of liability
in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each holder of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net
proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities
effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, whether the violation
of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to
the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any applicable registration, qualification or
compliance was perpetrated by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.
Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten
unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by
the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements; provided,
that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties
to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s ownership of
its shares of Common Stock to be sold in the offering and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification
obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.
8.
Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and
any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company shall:
(a)
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b)
use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c)
furnish to any holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company
as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such holder may
reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration.
9.
Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee
if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document

Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition
of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or similar transaction, without
the consent of the Investors; provided, that the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of the Company's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Investor may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser or transferee of Registrable
Securities; provided, that such purchaser or transferee shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, be required
to execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be treated as an Investor whereupon such purchaser or transferee shall have the
benefits of, and shall be subject to the restrictions contained in, this Agreement as if such purchaser or transferee was originally included
in the definition of an Investor herein and had originally been a party hereto.
12.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may only be amended,
modified, supplemented or waived with the prior written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities.
No waiver by any party or parties shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly
identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. Except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising
from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
15.
Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable
such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely
as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated
to the greatest extent possible.
16.
Remedies. Each holder of Registrable Securities, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that monetary
damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and the
Company hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
17.
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of Washington without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Washington

this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of
the State of WASHINGTON in each case located in the city of HOUSTON and County of HARRIS, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such
party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such
court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in
such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
18.
Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which
may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally
waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other party has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to
enforce the foregoing waiver in the event
of a legal action, (b) such party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d)
such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section
18.
19.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of
which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other
means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
20.

in a ninety (90) period pursuant to Rule 144 and (c) the occurrence of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or a “deemed
liquidation” as described in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation in effect as of the date hereof, and as the same

such Person shall as promptly as practicable take such actions as are necessary to remove such Disqualified Designee from the Board and
designate a replacement designee who is not a Disqualified Designee, and (iv) to notify the Company promptly in writing in the event a
Disqualification Event becomes applicable to such Person or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties, or, to such Person’s knowledge,
to such Person’s initial designee named in this Agreement, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule
506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable.
5.
Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (the "Expiration Time"):
(a) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties; and (b) such time as neither the Gaelic Director Thresholder
nor the Westmoreland Director Threshold is met. Nothing in this Section shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for
any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
6.
No
Agreement as Director or Officer. Without limiting
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties make no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in any capacity as a director
or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions
taken by any Party in the capacity as a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Exchange Agreement, and no such
actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict any Party from
exercising its fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its shareholders.
7.
Further
Assurances. Each of Westmoreland and Gaelic agrees,
from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments
and to take all such further action as the other Party may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
8.
Specific
Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that
it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations
imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party will not
have an adequate remedy at Law or damages. Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in
addition to remedies at Law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief
on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law. Each
Party hereto agrees
that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party's
seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
9.
Entire
Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements, written or oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may
be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by
either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver
of any provision hereof by such Party.

Re: Equity Exchange Agreement dated
as of October 20, 2021 (the “Exchange Agreement”) entered into by and among Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc., a Washington
corporation (“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”)
Dear Gaelic:
This Letter Agreement (this
“Letter Agreement”) is by and between Daybreak and Gaelic, is effective as of February 14, 2022 (the “Effective Date”),
and serves to memorialize our conversation earlier today.
In consideration of the
agreements contained in this Letter Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Daybreak and Gaelic hereby agree as follows:
| A. | The “Long-Stop Date” as defined in Section 9.01(b) of the Exchange
Agreement is hereby amended to be April 29, 2022. |
| B. | Gaelic acknowledged the transactions contemplated by that certain Convertible
Note Purchase Agreement expected to be entered into by and between Daybreak and Kamran Sattar (or his designee) and the Convertible Promissory
Note in principal amount of US$200,000 to be issued pursuant thereto (the “Convertible Note Transaction”). Gaelic acknowledges
that it is familiar with the terms of the Convertible Note Transaction and consents to the Convertible Note Transaction and waives any
provisions of the Exchange Agreement with respect to the Convertible Note Transaction as necessary to permit and effect the Convertible
Note Transaction, including Sections 5.01(h) and 7.03(f). |
| C. | Daybreak acknowledges that in order to carry out certain operational activities
in advance of the completion of the Exchange Agreement, Reabold may borrow up to US$250,000 from its parent company, Reabold Resources
PLC and that this money will be repaid in full to Reabold Resources PLC as soon as practicably possible following the completion of the
Exchange Agreement. |
| D. | In the event that the Exchange Agreement has not completed by the amended
Long-Stop Date as defined above, Daybreak agrees to compensate Gaelic through the payment of a break fee, in the amount of US$500,000,
to be paid in Daybreak shares (the “Break Fee Shares”) priced according to the VWAP calculated over the 5 trading days
prior to and including the Long-Stop Date, with payment (to be satisfied by the issuance of the Break Fee Shares) made as soon as practicably
possible after the amended Long-Stop Date. However if: |
| a. | the Exchange Agreement completes after the amended Long-Stop Date and provided that no party has terminated
the Exchange Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(b) of the Exchange Agreement; or |
| b. | the Exchange Agreement completes after the parties agree a new Long-Stop
Date; or |
| c. | the parties complete a new exchange agreement on the same terms as the Exchange
Agreement, |
then 50% of the Break Fee Shares issued to
Gaelic will be applied in part satisfaction of the number of the Parent Shares that fall due to Gaelic under Section 2.01 of the Exchange
Agreement or the new exchange agreement (as applicable).
The Exchange Agreement
is hereby amended to the fullest extent necessary to give effect to the terms of this Letter Agreement. Except as stated herein, the Exchange
Agreement is hereby specifically ratified and confirmed. The Exchange Agreement and this Letter Agreement shall be read and construed
as one agreement. To the extent any terms in this Letter Agreement conflict with terms of the Exchange Agreement, the terms of this Letter
Agreement shall prevail and be given effect.
This Letter Agreement sets
forth the entire understanding among the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all previous discussions or agreements on
the subject matter. This Letter Agreement may be amended, supplemented or superseded only in writing executed by all parties hereto. The
transactions contemplated hereby are effective as of the Effective Date.
This Letter Agreement shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington (without regard to any choice of law principles).
This Letter Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all of such counterparts
together shall constitute one agreement.
[signature page follows]
If the foregoing correctly sets
forth our agreement and understanding, please execute a copy of this Letter Agreement in the space provided below and return the executed
copy to the undersigned, indicating your intention to be legally bound hereby.
Very truly yours, |

ANNEX C
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Shareholders and Board of Directors of Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial
Statements
We have audited
the accompanying balance sheets of Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020,
and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, 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.
Going Concern Matter
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit
matters, are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated
to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved
our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
