Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation



The following is Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of JMG Exploration, Inc. (JMG or the Company) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.  This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes of JMG for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2005. This MD&A is based upon information available to November 20, 2006.  All amounts are stated in United States dollars except where otherwise indicated.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



This interim report includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in "Risk Factors" of the Companys Registration Statement dated August 3, 2005.



Other sections of this interim report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.



Statements relating to reserves are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.



CERTAIN FINANCIAL REPORTING MEASURES



In the presentation of the MD&A, JMG uses terms that are universally applied in analyzing corporate performance within the oil and gas industry but which regulators require that we provide disclaimers.



Natural gas volumes recorded in thousand cubic feet (mcf) are converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) using the ratio of six (6) thousand cubic to one (1) barrel of oil (bbl). BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalent at the wellhead.

OVERVIEW



JMG was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 16, 2004. We explore for oil and natural gas in the United States and Canada.





Since incorporation, we have made direct property acquisitions and will be developing the oil and natural gas properties of others under arrangements in which we will finance the cost of exploration drilling in exchange for interests in the oil or natural gas revenue generated by the properties. Such arrangements are commonly referred to as farm-ins to us, or farm-outs by the property owners to us.



Upon the closing of the initial public offering on August 3, 2005, the Company issued 2,185,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 and 2,185,000 warrants at a price of $0.10 for gross proceeds of $11,143,500. The warrants associated with the initial public offering are exercisable at $5.00, until one year from the statement of registration.  The Company completed its initial public offering and commenced trading on the Archipelago Exchange under the symbols JMG (common stock) and JMG+ (stock warrants).



Other than our executive officers, we have no operating personnel and have entered into a revised technical services agreement with JED Oil Inc. (JED) to provide us office space, equipment and all required personnel, including drilling, field operations and related administrative services on an as needed basis. These services are billed to JMG on a quarterly basis at standard industry rates for similar services.  Effective January 1, 2006, the revised technical services agreement with JED Oil Inc. was replaced with a Joint Services Agreement.  JED is considered an affiliate of ours because of its ownership interest in us and because two of our directors are directors of JED. (See  Related Party Transactions of this managements discussion and analysis.)



We entered into the 2nd Amended and Restated Agreement of Business Principles with JED and Enterra Energy Trust, effective August 1, 2004.   Under the agreement, JED and Enterra shall offer farm-outs to us of exploratory drilling prospects, and we shall offer farm-outs to JED of developed drilling prospects from Enterra and us.  The agreement contemplates that we will pursue exploratory drilling, JED will pursue development drilling, and Enterra will pursue developed and producing assets.  Under the agreement, if we accept a farm-in, we will pay all of the exploration drilling costs and will earn 70%, or a mutually agreeable percentage, of the interest in the producing zones of the wells we drill.  This arrangement provides us with exploration projects developed by JED and Enterra and not just those we identify independently.  Under our farm-outs to JED, JED will pay all of the drilling costs and will earn 70%, or a mutually agreeable percentage, of our interest in the producing zones of the wells drilled under the farm-out.  This arrangement provides us with the potential for a carried working interest in new wells for which we will have no costs.



This agreement also provides that Enterra has the right of first refusal to purchase our interests when we determine that we wish to sell.  The agreement provides that the price for our interest is to be the same consideration as offered under a bona fide third party offer, or if there is no such offer, as determined by an independent engineering report prepared by a mutually agreeable independent engineering firm.    We believe these arrangements will permit us to concentrate on our business plan of exploratory drilling, possibly provide a buyer for our interests as they are developed and permit further development drilling in which we may be able to retain a reduced interest at no additional cost to us.  On September 28, 2006, the 2nd Amended and Restated Agreement of Business Principles was terminated.



To date, JMG has assembled substantial land positions in North Dakota and Wyoming and participated in the drilling of nine gross (4.1 net) wells with 100% success rate proving up significant future development.  Two of the nine wells drilled to date were on production in late 2005 and the other seven wells have come on production in 2006.  JMGs production is 88 boe/d for the third quarter of 2006.

JMG currently has over 78,550 gross (over 66,200 net) acres of land in northern North Dakota.  In addition, JMG owns a 63.9% average working interest in a section of land in the Pinedale area of Wyoming.  These lands offset the Jonah/Pinedale producing fields.  As previously announced, JMG was involved in a significant oil discovery in the Midale formation in the northern part of North Dakota.  Five wells have been drilled into this formation to date and 14 development locations have been identified as a result of this initial drilling.

Results of operations



Petroleum and natural gas revenue.   Our revenue is dependent upon success in finding and developing oil and natural gas reserves. Our ownership interest in the production from these properties is measured in Boe per day, a term that encompasses both oil and natural gas production. Petroleum and natural gas revenues were $1,309,896 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 compared with revenue of $340,256 for the same period in 2005.  The oil revenue related to production sales from three Bakken exploratory wells and six Midale exploratory wells in North Dakota together with revenue from two wells in Wyoming.  The natural gas revenue is from a well in Wyoming. Total petroleum and natural gas revenue from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 was $1,937,356.

Critical to our petroleum revenue stream from any production activities is the market price for crude oil and natural gas.  Commodity benchmark prices for crude oil and natural gas were as follows:



|                                                    |        |

|West Texas Intermediate grade crude oil, per barrel | $62.91 | $66.24
|NYMEX Natural Gas Index (per MCF)                   | $3.62  | $14.50





Our realized price for any oil and natural gas production will be dependent upon the actual quality of the commodity which could result in a premium or discount to the above indices. Oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile. If oil and natural gas prices decrease this movement could affect the overall valuation of our petroleum and natural gas reserves and we may be required to take a write-down of the carrying value.





We may use derivative financial instruments when we deem them appropriate to hedge exposure to changes in the price of crude oil and natural gas, fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  JMG currently does not have any financial derivative contracts or fixed price contracts in place.





Interest income.    Interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $nil (2005 - $1,036) and $nil (2005 - $118,040) respectively.  Interest income has decreased due to the repayment in 2005 of the promissory note owed by an unrelated industry partner. Total interest income from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 was $185,091.



Interest expense.   Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $42,559 (2005 - $nil) and $156,431 (2005 - $nil) respectively.  Interest income has increased due to the payment of interest on the promissory note owed to an unrelated industry partner since February 8, 2006.  Total interest expense from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 was $156,431.





Production expense.    Production costs include operating costs associated with field activities. Production expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were $67,466 and $259,114 respectively compared with production expenses of $73,869 and $84,642 for the same periods in 2005.  Initially these costs as a percentage of revenue will be higher than desired due to recently commencing operations, but as production and revenue increase these costs should fall within industry ranges. Total production expenses from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 were $448,712.

Stockbased compensation.    The Company has a stock option plan under which employees, directors and consultants are eligible to receive grants.  The Corporation accounts for the stock option granted to consultants using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).  Stock compensation expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 was at $624,862 and $674,874 respectively.  There was no stock-based compensation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.  During the current quarter, 380,000 stock options were granted, of which 240,000 stock options were issued to the directors of the Company.  Options granted to directors vest immediately, and as such, the total fair value associated with those options is recorded as a non-cash charge at the time the options are granted.  The Company adopted Statement 123(R) using the modified-prospective method, therefore for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 the stock-based compensation was a result of expensing the stock options for employees as well as consultants on a straight line basis using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.   The total stock-based compensation expense from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 is $753,463.  The total compensation costs related to non-vested options which have not been recognized are $582,008 as at September 30, 2006.





Geophysical and geological expense.    Geophysical and geological expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were $nil and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 were $nil and $162,284 respectively.  Under the successful-efforts method, costs such as geological and geophysical, exploratory dry holes and delay rentals are expensed as incurred. The costs in 2005 related to the expensing of acquisition costs of seismic data as well as the expensing of land deposits, which had expired. Total geophysical and geological expenses from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 were $256,484.

Depletion, depreciation and accretion expense.   Depletion, depreciation and accretion expense were $1,787,835 and $2,186,881 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 respectively and $341,960 and $469,416 respectively for the same periods in 2005.  This increase over the prior year periods is due to the impairment charges recorded in the current year, which were not applicable during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. Depletion was only recorded starting in the second quarter of 2005 due to commencement of production.  For the three months ended September 30, 2006 the Companys impairment charge of $1,569,237 (2005 - $nil) primarily related to developed properties in Wyoming and North Dakota and undeveloped land in North Dakota.  This impairment is a result of production evaluation work and a review of undeveloped land values in the third quarter of 2006.  In 2005, the Companys 4th quarter impairment charge of $3,663,375 related to developed properties located in Wyoming and North Dakota and were a result of unsuccessful work programs and production evaluation work performed during 2005. The impairment charges equal the excess of the aggregate carrying value of PP&E for each field over the discounted (10%) cash flows, which are expected to result from the Companys proved plus probable reserves from these fields. The Company also recorded an impairment in 2005 when it terminated operations in the Fiddler Creek area and abandoned any further plans for development in the area.  Impairment of $470,642 was recorded for 2004 for the work programs and production evaluation work performed on the Cut Bank property that resulted in no commercial quantities of oil.  We have abandoned all planned activities in this prospect. Total depletion depreciation and accretion expenses from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 were $6,935,130.



The estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $108,804 at September 30, 2006.  This amount is based on estimated future cash requirements of $302,175, determined using a credit adjusted risk free interest rate of 8.5% over the economic life of the properties, an inflation rate of 2.0%, and an estimated life until repayment of 5-10 years.

Liquidity and capital resources



Cash flows and capital expenditures



At September 30, 2006, we had $45,980 in cash and cash equivalents. Since our incorporation, we have financed our operating cash flow needs through private and public offerings of equity securities as well as a promissory note for $1,500,000. On February 8, 2006 a promissory note was issued for a total of $1,500,000.  The promissory note was repayable on March 30, 2006 but repayment has now been extended to December 31, 2006.



The Company has not realized a profit from operations since its incorporation on July 16, 2004.  The Company is in a negative working capital position as at September 30, 2006 and has achieved positive cash flow from operations for the first time in 2006.  The recovery of the Companys assets and its ability to continue operations is dependent on successful production of economic quantities of hydrocarbons, obtaining additional financing to fund its exploration activity or the successful completion of the proposed  merger with JED.  As disclosed in note 8 to the financial statements, the subsequent sale of certain properties will also provide additional cash flow towards the Companys ongoing operations.  Accordingly, the Companys consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In the event funds from the exercise of warrants are unavailable, we will delay our exploration activities until alternative sources of capital such as production revenue and farm out agreements on our properties or sale of our properties. The 2,185,000 warrants from the initial public offering are trading on the Archipelago Exchange under the symbol (JMG+).  The warrants issued with the preferred shares (1,950,000 at $4.25 and 487,500 at $6.00, of which only a portion are outstanding at September 30, 2006) are not trading and were outstanding upon the closing of our initial public offering on August 3, 2005.

We realized $1,000,000 from the sale of common stock to JED.  We realized $7,792,225 from the sale of 1,950,000 units consisting of preferred stock and warrants.  Upon the closing of our initial public offering on August 3, 2005, the Company issued 2,185,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 and 2,185,000 warrants at a price of $0.10 for net proceeds of $10,301,250. The issuance of a promissory note also provided cash in the amount of $1,500,000. We have warrants outstanding exercisable into shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $4.25 to $6.00 per share, which expire in one to one and a half years from the date of our initial offering.  We also have underwriter warrants outstanding exercisable into shares of our common stock at a price of $7.00 per share, which expire in five years from the date of our initial offering.  These sources of financing were offset by $781,499 in preferred dividends paid during the period. All holders of preferred stock converted their preferred stock in common stock following the effectiveness of our registration statement. Dividends have been paid up to the date of conversion.



Critical accounting estimates



In the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, it was necessary for JMG to make certain estimates that were critical to determining our assets, liabilities and net loss for the period.  None of these estimates affect the determination of cash flow but do have a significant impact in the determination of net loss for the period.  The most critical of these estimates is the reserves estimations and the resulting effect on various income statement and balance sheet measures.



JMG engaged an independent engineering firm to evaluate 100% of our oil and natural gas reserves and prepare a report thereon.  Their report dated December 31, 2005 was utilized in the calculations of depletion and depreciation expense. The estimation of the reserve volumes and future net revenues set out in the report is complex and subject to uncertainties and interpretations.  Judgments are based upon engineering data, projected future rates of production, forecasts of commodity prices, and the timing of future expenditures.  Inevitably the estimates of reserve volumes and future net revenues will vary over time as new data becomes available and estimates of future net revenues do not represent fair market value.



The following significant accounting policies outline the major policies involving critical estimates.

Successful-efforts method of accounting

Our business is subject to special accounting rules that are unique to the oil and gas industry. There are two allowable methods of accounting for oil and gas business activities: the successful-efforts method and the full-cost method. Under the successful-efforts method, costs such as geological and geophysical, exploratory dry holes and delay rentals are expensed as incurred whereas under the full-cost method these types of charges are capitalized.



Under the successful-efforts method of accounting, all costs of property acquisitions and drilling of exploratory wells are initially capitalized.  If a well is unsuccessful, the capitalized costs of drilling the well, net of any salvage value, are charged to expense.  If a well finds oil and natural gas reserves that cannot be classified as proved within a year after discovery, the well is assumed to be impaired and the capitalized costs of drilling the well, net of any salvage value, are charged to expense.  The capitalized costs of unproven properties are periodically assessed to determine whether their value has been impaired below the capitalized cost, and if such impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized.  We consider such factors as exploratory results, future drilling plans and lease expiration terms when assessing unproved properties for impairment. For each field, an impairment provision is recorded whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those properties may not be recoverable from estimated future net revenues.  The impairment provision is measured as the excess of carrying value over the fair value.  Fair value is defined as the present value of the estimated future net revenue from total proved and risked-adjusted probable reserves over the economic life of the reserves, based on period end oil and gas prices, consistent with price and cost assumptions used for acquisition evaluations.



Geological and geophysical costs and costs of retaining undeveloped properties are expensed as incurred.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, and renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Upon disposal, the asset and related accumulated depreciation and depletion are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected  in income or loss.



Costs of development dry holes and proved leaseholds are depleted on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves on a field basis. The depreciation of capitalized production equipment, drilling costs and asset retirement obligations is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves on a field basis.





To economically evaluate our future proved oil and natural gas reserves, if any, independent engineers must make a number of assumptions, estimates and judgments that they believe to be reasonable based upon their expertise and professional guidelines. Were the independent engineers to use differing assumptions, estimates and judgments, then our financial condition and results of operations could be affected. We would have lower earnings in the event revised assumptions, estimates and judgments resulted in lower reserve estimates, since the depletion and depreciation rate would then be higher. A write-down of excess carrying value also might be required. Similarly, we would have higher earnings in the event the revised assumptions, estimates and judgments resulted in higher reserve estimates, since the depletion and depreciation rate would then be lower.



Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable.  It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.  The estimated quantities of proved crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas are derived from geological and engineering data that demonstrate with reasonable certainty the amounts that can be recovered in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  Reserves are considered proved if they can be produced economically as demonstrated by either actual production or conclusive formation tests.  The oil and gas reserve estimates are made using all available geological and reservoir data as well as historical production data.  Estimates are reviewed and revised as appropriate.  Revisions occur as a result of changes in prices, costs, fiscal regimes, reservoir performance or a change in the Companys plans.

Long-lived assets

When assets are placed into service, we make estimates with respect to their useful lives that we believe are reasonable. However, factors such as competition, regulation or environmental matters could cause us to change our estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation and depletion. We evaluate long-lived assets for potential impairment by identifying whether indicators of impairment exist and, if so, assessing whether the long-lived assets are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of impairment loss, if any, to be recorded is equal to the amount by which a long-lived assets carrying value exceeds its fair value. Estimates of future discounted cash flows and fair value of assets require subjective assumptions with regard to future operating results and actual results could differ from those estimates.



Asset Retirement Obligations

We adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" at inception.  The net estimated costs are discounted to present values using a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate over the estimated economic life of the properties.  These costs are capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized. The associated liability is classified as a long-term liability and is adjusted when circumstances change and for the accretion of expense which is recorded as a component of depreciation and depletion.



Stock-based compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the stock options granted to employees and directors under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and for the stock options granted to consultants under the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB Statement No. 123.  No stock-based employee and directors compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Operations and Deficit for the year ended December 31, 2005 nor for the period from the date of incorporation on July 16, 2004 to December 31, 2005, as all options granted to employees and directors under that plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.  Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method.  Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized effective January 1, 2006 includes:  (a) compensation cost for share-based options granted to employees and directors prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of  Statement 123(R).  Results for prior periods have not been restated.



The weighted average fair value of stock option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:



Risk-free interest rate (%)

4.3

Expected life (years)

5.0

Expected volatility (%)

10 - 50

Expected dividend yield (%)

Nil

Vesting period (years)

0 to 3





Contingencies

In the future, we may be subject to adverse proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, labor, product and other matters. We will be required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes of these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these potential matters.

Accounting for certain hybrid Financial Instruments

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140).  SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis.  SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140.  SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  The Company currently does not have any hybrid financial instruments.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.  The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of deficit.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.



Related Party Transactions

The Company is considered related to JED Oil Inc. (JED) because of their ownership interest in JMG and because of two common directors.  Unless otherwise noted, transactions between JMG and JED are made in the normal course of operations at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

On August 1, 2004 the Company entered into a technical services agreement with JED. Under the Agreement, JED provided all required personnel, office space and equipment, at standard industry rates for similar services.  This agreement was terminated on January 1, 2006 and was replaced by a joint services agreement, which operates to provide the above services on an as needed basis.

JED paid on behalf of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 totals of $nil and $nil respectively (2005 - $51,315, $442,667) and $582,505 for the period from incorporation July 16, 2004, for general and administrative services and capital related expenditures.

In consideration for the assignment of JEDs interests in certain oil and gas properties, JED charged the Company for drilling and other costs related to those properties. In connection with these transactions the total amount payable to JED at December 31, 2005 was $286,956.  Subsequent to year-end, this amount was repaid in full.

As at September 30, 2006, JED owes the Company $1,930,660 for the reimbursement of intangible drilling costs.  These goods and services were provided at standard industry rates and terms.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market and Credit Risk

We are exposed to all of the normal market risks inherent within the oil and natural gas industry, including commodity price risk, foreign-currency rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. We plan to manage our operations in a manner intended to minimize our exposure to such market risks.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss resulting from non-performance of contractual obligations by a customer or joint venture partner. A substantial portion of our accounts receivable is expected to be with customers in the energy industry and is subject to normal industry credit risk. We intend to assess the financial strength of our customers and joint venture partners through regular credit reviews in order to minimize the risk of non-payment.

Market Risk.We are exposed to market risk from changes in currency exchange rates. As the Company is based in Canada, we may be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate between U.S. and Canadian dollars as most of our general and administrative expenses are in Canadian dollars. The price we will receive for oil and natural gas production from operations in Canada, if any, will be based on a benchmark expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the standard for the oil and natural gas industry worldwide. Changes to the exchange rate between U.S. and Canadian dollars can adversely affect us.

Interest Rate Risk.Interest rate risk will exist principally with respect to any future indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates. At September 30, 2006, we had no indebtedness that bears a floating interest rate and do not contemplate utilizing this type of indebtedness as a means of financing our exploration activities.



Outlook and Proposed Transactions



The year ended December 31, 2005 was the start up period for JMG and should be viewed as such.  The focus in 2005 was to assemble a significant land position with initial drilling to commence in the latter part of 2005 carrying into 2006.  The majority of JMGs drilling has taken place in 2006 or the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2005.  The Company has begun generating production volumes starting in the third quarter of 2005.

On February 27, 2006, the Company and JED Oil Inc. announced they had signed a letter of intent to pursue a possible acquisition of the Company by JED.  The proposal would have offered two-thirds of a share of common stock of JED for each share of common stock of the Company.  On November 16, 2006, the independent members of JMGs board decided to not proceed with the transaction.

The Companys Board of Directors has extended the Companys warrants that were to expire in August and December of 2006 to January 15, 2007.

On November 3, 2006, The Company signed an Offer Letter to sell its working interests in the Bakken Lands and wells in North Dakota to an arms length party for approximately $5,500,000. The transaction is effective October 1, 2006 and closing of the transaction, subject to normal title and environmental due diligence, is anticipated to be January 2007.

1.

INCORPORATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, AND GOING CONCERN

JMG Exploration, Inc. (JMG or the Company) is an independent energy company that explores for, develops and produces natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids in Canada and the United States. Currently, all of the Companys proved reserves are located in the United States.

The Companys future financial condition and results of operations will depend upon prices received for its oil and natural gas production and the costs of finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves.  Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to fluctuations in response to change in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond the Companys control.  These factors include worldwide political instability, the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the price of foreign imports, the level of consumer demand, and the price and availability of alternative fuels.

JMG was incorporated with nominal share capital under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 16, 2004 and commenced operations in August 2004.

JED Oil Inc. (Amex: JDO) (JED) and JMG on February 27, 2006 announced they had signed a letter of intent to pursue a possible acquisition of JMG by JED.  The proposal would have offered two-thirds of a share of common stock of JED for each share of common stock of JMG.  On November 16, 2006, the independent members of JMGs board decided not to proceed with the transaction.

The JMG Board of Directors has extended the JMG warrants that were to expire in August and December of 2006 to January 15, 2007.

JMG has not realized a profit from operations since its incorporation on July 16, 2004.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is in a negative working capital position as at September 30, 2006 and has achieved positive cash flow from operations for the first time in the three month period ended September 30, 2006.  The recovery of the Companys assets and its ability to continue operations is dependent on successful production of economic quantities of hydrocarbons, obtaining additional financing to fund its exploration activity or the successful completion of the merger with JED discussed in the preceding paragraph.  As disclosed in note 8, the subsequent sale of certain properties will also provide additional cash flow towards the Companys ongoing operations.  Accordingly, the Companys consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.



2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, on a basis that is consistent with the annual audited consolidated financial statements.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the summary of significant accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation on July 16, 2004 to December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2005.



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Change in Accounting Principle

At December 31, 2005, the Company had a stock-based compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 5.  Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the stock options granted to employees and directors under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and for the stock options granted to consultants under the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB Statement No. 123.  No stock-based employee and directors compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Operations and Deficit for the year ended December 31, 2005 nor for the period from the date of incorporation on July 16, 2004 to December 31, 2004, as all options granted to employees and directors under that plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.  Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method.  Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized effective January 1, 2006 includes:  (a) compensation cost for share-based options granted to employees and directors prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of  Statement 123(R).  Results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Companys net loss per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, is the same as if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25.  Basic and diluted loss per common share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 would have been $0.53 and $0.53, respectively, if the Company had not adopted Statement 123(R), compared to reported basic and diluted loss per share of $0.53 and $0.53, respectively.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss per common share for the period from the date of incorporation on July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and net loss per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 to options granted to employees and directors under the Companys stock option plan in all periods presented.  For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized to expense over the options vesting period on a straight-line basis.

d) Agents warrants

As agreed with the underwriter as part of the initial public offering, agent warrants to purchase 190,000 shares of common stock were issued.  These agent warrants are exercisable for a four year period commencing August 3, 2006 at an exercise price of $7.00 per share.



e) Stockbased compensation

Prior to August 3, 2005 the Company was private. Accordingly the expected volatility of the Companys stock options granted during the period prior to August 3, 2005 had been set at 10%. The 396,500 stock options granted after the Company became public valued based on an expected volatility of 50%. There were 380,000 stock options granted to employees and consultants in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. The estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options vesting period on a straight-line basis.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 stock option expense was $624,862 (2005 - $nil) and $674,874 (2005 - $nil) respectively.  The stock option expense from the period of incorporation July 16, 2004 to September 30, 2006 was $753,463.



The weighted average fair value of stock option grants in the period in the amount of $5.22 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:



Risk-free interest rate (%)

4.3

Expected life (years)

5.0

Expected volatility (%)

50

Expected dividend yield (%)

Nil

Vesting period (years)

0 to 3

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.  Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123.  However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

Statement 123(R) must be adopted by small-business issuers at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2005.  Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued.  We adopted Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using a modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company has adopted Statement 123(R) using the modified-prospective method.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 27, 2006, JED and JMG announced they had signed a letter of intent to pursue a possible acquisition of JMG by JED.  The proposal would have offered two-thirds of a share of common stock of JED for each share of common stock of JMG.  On November 16, 2006, the independent members of JMGs board decided to not proceed with the transaction.

The JMG Board of Directors has extended the JMG warrants that were to expire in August and December of 2006 to January 15, 2007.

On November 3, 2006, JMG signed an Offer Letter to sell its working interests in the Bakken Lands and wells in North Dakota to an arms length party for approximately $5,500,000. The transaction is effective October 1, 2006 and closing of the transaction, subject to normal title and environmental due diligence, is anticipated to be January 2007.
