Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1.    INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS JMG Exploration, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 16, 2004 for the purpose of exploring for oil and natural gas in the United States and Canada. All of the properties under development, with the exception of the Pinedale natural gas wells, have not met with developmental objectives and have been sold as of January 2008. As of March 31, 2011, JMG has an accumulated deficit of $­­27,120,086 and has insufficient working capital to fund development and exploratory drilling opportunities. Following the collection of our loan receivable in May 2010, JMG has sufficient working capital to maintain the current level of operations through at least December 31, 2012. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy and JMG is presently exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or merger with another party. 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 statement of the results for the interim periods, on a basis that is consistent with the annual audited 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the summary of significant accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Companys audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Critical accounting estimates In the preparation of the financial statements, it was necessary to make certain estimates that were critical to determining our assets, liabilities and net income. None of these estimates affect the determination of cash flow but do have a significant impact in the determination of net income. The most critical of these estimates is the reserves estimations for gas properties. At December 31, 2007, JMG engaged an independent engineering firm to evaluate 100% of our developed oil and gas reserves and prepare a report thereon. 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. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, JMG adjusted the 2007 reserve information per this report based on 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 production, current prices for natural gas and a review of other assumptions utilized in the 2007 reserve report. 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.  8   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 year 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 currently 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 revenues 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 revenues and net profits 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 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 natural gas and natural gas liquids 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 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.  9   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets If estimated undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the net capitalized costs related to proved properties, then we recognize an impairment charge in income from operations equal to the difference between the net capitalized costs related to unproved properties and their estimated fair values based on the present value of the related estimated future net cash flows. Undeveloped oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Asset Retirement Obligations We have adopted ASC 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations from 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 The Company accounts for the cost of Director/employee services received in exchange for the award of common stock options based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected life assumption is based on the expected life assumptions of similar entities. Expected volatility is based on actual share price volatility the preceding twelve months. The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods as options vest, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations as follows: For the three month period
ended March 31,20112010General and administrative expenses$             -$     73,673 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 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and balances invested in short-term securities with original maturities of less than 90 days. For the period ended March 31, 2011, the average effective interest rate earned on cash equivalent balances was 0.45%. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $1,676,443 in cash. JMG maintains two cash accounts with financial institutions in the United States. The United States account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2011, the uninsured bank balance was $1,439,976.  JMG has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. Loss per Common Share Loss per share (EPS) is computed based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the  10   issuance of common stock, which would then share in the earnings of the Company. The shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011and 2010 because their effect would be antidilutive. The following shares were accordingly excluded from the net income/loss per share calculation. Three month period ended

There are currently no income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions, although the tax years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are all still open for examination. The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes  (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities.  Where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its realizable value. A valuation allowance has been provided against the Companys net deferred tax assets as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result of this valuation allowance, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is zero percent. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. If the financial condition of JMGs customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Delinquent trade accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once uncollectibility has been determined. The need for an allowance is determined through an analysis of the past-due status of accounts receivable and assessments of risk that are based on historical trends and an evaluation of the impact of current and projected economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $186,300 and $105,000 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information and other data. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. For certain of JMGs financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, loan receivable and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value. See footnote 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-03, Extractive ActivitiesOil and Gas (Topic 932), to amend existing oiland gas reserve accounting and disclosure guidance to align its requirements with the SEC's revised rules. The significant modifications involve revised definitions of oil and gas producing activities, changing the pricing used to estimate reserves at period end to a twelve month average of the first day of the month prices and additional disclosure requirements. In contrast to the applicable SEC rule, the FASB does not permit the disclosure of probable and possible reserves in the supplemental oil and gas information in the notes to the financial statements. In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-14 which amends the guidance on oil and gas reporting in ASC 932.10.S99-1 by adding the Codification SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10 as amended by the SEC Final Rule 33-8995. Both ASU 2010-03 and ASU 2010-14 are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31,  11   2009. Application of the revised rules is prospective and companies are not required to change prior period presentation to conform to the amendments. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements", which provides amendments to fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The revised guidance for transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 categories, as well as increased disclosures around inputs to fair value measurement, was adopted January 1, 2010, with the amendments to Level 3 disclosures effective beginning after January 1, 2011. ASU 2010-06 concerns disclosure only. Neither the current requirements nor the amendments effective in 2011 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment expense was $2,302 and $2,237 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Undeveloped land and other assets not related to petroleum and natural gas properties were excluded from the depletion calculation.

4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  JED Oil Inc. JMG had a Joint Services Agreement with JED Oil Inc. (JED). Under the Agreement, JED provided all required personnel, office space and equipment, at standard industry rates for similar services. The Joint Services Agreement was terminated upon JEDs reorganization in November 2009. JED was considered an affiliate because of its ownership interest in JMG and because two of our directors were directors of JED. All transactions are recorded at the exchange amount. Total expenses incurred under this agreement for both of  the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0. Amounts payable to JED or its successor Steen River Oil & Gas Ltd. as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 for services up through termination of the agreement were $34,764 and $36,211, respectively. Skeehan & Company Joseph Skeehan, a director of JMG, is also the owner of Skeehan & Company, a professional service corporation that engages in accounting, finance and consulting services to small to mid-sized companies and organizations primarily in Southern California since 1980. In conjunction with the maintenance of accounting records and the preparation of financial statements and regulatory filings, Skeehan & Company was paid a total of $7,940 and $10,887 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, no balance was due Skeehan & Company.  5.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION As of March 31, 2011, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $30,381 based on estimated future cash requirements of $20,443, 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. Accretion of $281 was recorded for both of the three month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010.  12    Asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2010$          30,100Accretion expense281Asset retirement obligations at March 31, 2011$          30,381   6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS  The fair value hierarchy established byASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:  ·Level 1 – Observable inputs – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;  ·Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data; and  ·Level 3 – Unobservable inputs – includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.  JMG has no financial instruments recorded at fair value as of March 31, 2011.  7. PINEDALE NATURAL GAS PROPERTY LITIGATION On July 16, 2009,Jonah/Pinedale Partners LLC and JMG filed a Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen's Bench Of Alberta in the Judicial District Of Calgary Regarding NEO Exploration Inc. and  Ptarmigan Lands. In March 2005, JMG agreed to farm-in on the interests of the co-plaintiff, Jonah/Pinedale Partners. NEO, an Alberta, Canada corporation, through its wholly owned U.S. (Montana) partnership Ptarmigan Lands, became the operators of the Pinedale natural gas property effective January 1, 2009. To date, NEO has failed to report to JMG an accounting of Pinedale production or to remit to JMG their working interest in such  production. We have accrued production revenues and costs based on historical production data but have fully reserved accounts receivable from NEO pending the outcome of the litigation. Management believes that NEOs failure to remit JMGs share of the production revenue is ungrounded, that JMG will prevail in the litigation and that no further impairment of the Pinedale natural gas property is warranted. 8. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY On January 3, 2011 the Company extended the expiration dates of all warrants, except those issued to our underwriters, to January 15, 2012. A total of 369,249 $6.00 warrants, 1,739,500 $4.25 warrants, and 1,763,802 $5.00 warrants were to expire on January 15, 2011. A deemed dividend of $548,804 for this extension of the warrant expiration dates was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On January 8, 2010 JMG extended the expiration dates of all warrants, except those issued to our underwriters, to January 15, 2011. A total of 369,249 $6.00 warrants, 1,739,500 $4.25 warrants, and 1,763,802 $5.00 warrants were to expire on January 15, 2010. A deemed dividend of $638,804 for this extension of the warrant expiration dates was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On January 26, 2010 JMG cancelled 473,333 common stock options outstanding at an average exercise price of $3.00 per share and issued 455,000 new options at an exercise price of $0.22 per share and which expire in five years. With respect to the issuance of the new stock options, JMG incurred stock based compensation expense of $73,673 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. On August 3, 2010 JMG extended the expiration date of 190,000 warrants issued to our underwriters to August 3, 2012. A total of 190,000 $7.00 warrants were to expire on August 3, 2010. A deemed dividend of $47,001 for this extension of the warrant expiration date was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  13   ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of financial results as provided by the management of JMG Exploration, Inc. (JMG) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the managements discussion and analysis for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This 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 as described in Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Other sections of this 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 Form 10-Q 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 Form 10-Q are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. In the presentation of the Form 10-Q, JMG uses terms that are universally applied in analyzing corporate performance within the oil and gas industry for which regulators require that we provide disclaimers. Barrel of Oil Equivalent (BOE) The oil and gas industry commonly expresses production volumes and reserves on a barrel of oil equivalent basis (BOE) whereby natural gas volumes are converted at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The intention is to sum oil and natural gas measurement units into one basis for improved analysis of results and comparisons with other industry participants. Throughout this Form 10-Q, JMG has used the 6:1 BOE measure which is the approximate energy equivalency of the two commodities at the burner tip. BOE does not represent a value equivalency at the plant gate, which is where JMG sells its production volumes, and therefore may be a misleading measure if used in isolation. Overview JMG Exploration, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 16, 2004 for the purpose of exploring for oil and natural gas in the United States and Canada. In August 2004, two private placements totaling $8.8 million were completed and exploration activities commenced. As discussed below, all of the properties under development, with the exception of the Pinedale natural gas wells, have not met with developmental objectives and have been sold as of January 2008. As of March 31, 2011, JMG has an accumulated deficit of $27,120,086 and has insufficient working capital to fund development and exploratory drilling opportunities. Following the collection of our loan receivable  14   in May 2010, JMG has sufficient working capital to maintain the current level of operations through at least December 31, 2012. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy and JMG is presently exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or merger with another party.  Results of operations 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. Revenues were $20,700 and $20,700 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On July 16, 2009, Jonah/Pinedale Partners LLC and JMG filed a Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen's Bench Of Alberta in the Judicial District Of Calgary Regarding NEO Exploration Inc. and  Ptarmigan Lands. In March 2005, JMG agreed to farm-in on the interests of the co-plaintiff, Jonah/Pinedale Partners. NEO, an Alberta, Canada corporation, through its wholly owned U.S. (Montana) partnership Ptarmigan Lands, became the operators of the Pinedale natural gas property effective January 1, 2009. To date, NEO has failed to report to JMG an accounting of Pinedale production or to remit to JMG their royalty interest in such  production. We may use derivative financial instruments when we deem them appropriate to hedge exposure to changes in the price of crude oil, fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. JMG currently does not have any financial derivative contracts or fixed price contracts in place. General and administrative expense.General and administrative expense relates to compensation and overhead for executive officers and fees for general operational and administrative services. For our Pinedale gas operations we have contracted out all field personnel and equipment necessary for ongoing operations and related administrative functions. General and administrative expenses were $83,215 and $107,076 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Expenses consist principally of salaries, consulting fees and office costs. The decrease in general and administrative expense from 2010 was principally due to a stock based compensation expense of $73,673 incurred in 2010 due to the cancelation of 473,333 common stock options outstanding at an average exercise price of $3.00 per share and the issuance of 455,000 new options at an exercise price of $0.22 per share and which expire in five years. This decrease was offset by an increase of approximately $50,000 in 2011 due to an increase in accounting, auditing, and consulting expenses. Production expense.Production costs include operating costs associated with field activities and geophysical and geological expense. Under the successful-efforts method, costs such as geological and geophysical, exploratory dry holes and delay rentals are expensed as incurred. Production expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $16,105 and $16,105, respectively. Depletion, depreciation. amortization and impairment expense.Depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment expense for the three months ending March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $2,302 and $2,237, respectively. Accretion expense.As of March 31, 2011, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $30,381 based on estimated future cash requirements of $20,443, 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. Accretion of $281 was recorded for the three months ending March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2010, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $28,976 based on estimated future cash requirements of $20,443, 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. Accretion of $281 was recorded for the three months ending March 31, 2010. Interest income. Interest for the periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,786 and $11, respectively. Interest was principally attributable to interest on cash balances.  15   Deemed dividend on warrant extension. On January 3, 2011 the Company extended the expiration dates of all warrants, except those issued to our underwriters, to January 15, 2012. A total of 369,249 $6.00 warrants, 1,739,500 $4.25 warrants, and 1,763,802 $5.00 warrants were to expire on January 15, 2010. A deemed dividend of $548,804 for this extension of the warrant expiration dates was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On January 8, 2010 the Company extended the expiration dates of all warrants, except those issued to our underwriters, to January 15, 2011. A total of 369,249 $6.00 warrants, 1,739,500 $4.25 warrants, and 1,763,802 $5.00 warrants were to expire on January 15, 2010. A deemed dividend of $638,804 for this extension of the warrant expiration dates was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On January 26, 2010 JMG cancelled 473,333 common stock options outstanding at an average exercise price of $3.00 per share and issued 455,000 new options at an exercise price of $0.22 per share and which expire in five years. With respect to the issuance of the new stock options, JMG incurred stock based compensation expense of $73,673 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. Income taxes.The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions, although the tax years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are all still open for examination. The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes  (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities.  Where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its realizable value. A valuation allowance has been provided against the Companys net deferred tax assets as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  As a result of this valuation allowance, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 is zero percent. Liquidity and capital resources At March 31, 2011, we had $1,676,443 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 of March 31, 2011, JMG has an accumulated deficit of $27,120,086 and has insufficient working capital to fund development and exploratory drilling opportunities. Following the collection of our loan receivable in May 2010, JMG has sufficient working capital to maintain the current level of operations through at least December 31, 2012. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy and JMG is presently exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or merger with another party. JMG has the following warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2011: Warrant summary

16   Cash flow used in operations.Cash utilized by operating activities was $38,516 and $13,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The use of cash in 2010 was attributable to net loss of $79,417 which was increased by the decrease in accounts payable of $38,318, and decreased by a decrease in accounts receivable of $20,700. The cash requirements were further offset by depletion expense of $2,583, and an increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts of $20,700 which did not use cash. Cash utilized by operating activities was $13,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The use of cash in 2010 was attributable to net loss of $104,988 which was increased by the decrease in accounts payable of $15,722, and decreased by a decrease in accounts receivable of $20,700 and stock based compensation of $73,673 which did not use cash. The cash requirements were further offset by depletion expense of $2,518, and an increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts of $20,700 which did not use cash. Cash flow used in investing activities.Cash provided by investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Cash flow used in financing activities.Cash flows from financing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Changes in critical accounting estimates 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. Contractual obligations and commitments None. Related Party Transactions JED Oil Inc. JMG had a Joint Services Agreement with JED Oil Inc. (JED). Under the Agreement, JED provided all required personnel, office space and equipment, at standard industry rates for similar services. The Joint Services Agreement was terminated upon JEDs reorganization in November 2009. JED was considered an affiliate because of its ownership interest in JMG and because two of our directors were directors of JED. All transactions are recorded at the exchange amount. Total expenses incurred under this agreement for both 2011 and 2010 $0. Amounts payable to JED or its successor Steen River Oil & Gas Ltd. as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 for services up through termination of the agreement were $34,764 and $36,211, respectively. Skeehan & Company Joseph Skeehan, a director of JMG, is also the owner of Skeehan & Company, a professional service corporation that engages in accounting, finance and consulting services to small to mid-sized companies and organizations primarily in Southern California since 1980. In conjunction with the maintenance of accounting records and the preparation of financial statements and regulatory filings, Skeehan & Company was paid a total of $7,940 and $1,028 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, no balance was due Skeehan & Company. Outlook and Proposed Transactions As of March 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $27,120,086 and have insufficient working capital to fund development and exploratory drilling opportunities. Following the collection of our loan receivable in May 2010, JMG has sufficient working capital to maintain the current level of operations through at least December 31, 2012. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy and JMG is presently exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or merger with another party.  17   Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market 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. Our accounts receivable are from the operator of our Pinedale natural gas interest and is subject to normal industry credit risk.  Market Risk.We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. Natural gas is a commodity and its price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the market for natural gas has been volatile. This market will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we may receive for any future production, and the levels of this production, depend on numerous factors beyond our control.  Interest Rate Risk.Interest rate risk will exist principally with respect to any future indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates. At March 31, 2011, we had no long-term indebtedness and do not contemplate utilizing indebtedness as a means of financing operations. Item 4T. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of March 31, 2011, the Company carried out an assessment under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(1) and I 5d-15(1)). Our Chief Executive and Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2011. Material Weaknesses and Related Remediation Initiatives Set forth below is a summary of the various significant deficiencies which caused management to conclude that we had the material weaknesses identified above.  Through the efforts of management, external consultants and our Audit Committee, we have developed a specific action plan to remediate the material weaknesses.  We expect to implement these various action plans during 2011 and anticipate that all control deficiencies and material weaknesses will be remediated by December 31, 2011. We did not effectively implement comprehensive entity-level internal controls and did not maintain a sufficient level of resources within our accounting department, as discussed below:  · Financial Close Process.  JMG lacks personnel with sufficient competence in US generally accepted accounting principles and SEC reporting requirements to ensure proper and timely evaluation of the Companys activities and transactions.  · Financial Close Process.  JMG only prepares financial statements on a quarterly basis which increases the potential that any unusual activities or transactions will not be detected on a timely basis.  · Cash Disbursement Process.  Our accounting personnel performed all bookkeeping activities including cash disbursements, cash receipts, and monthly bank reconciliation. The lack of segregation of duties in this area increased the potential that any fraud would not be detected on a timely basis.  · Cash Disbursement Process.   Payments to related parties were not subject to review and approval by independent parties which increased the potential that any improper distributions would not be detected on a timely basis.   18   · Reporting Deficiencies.  We did not perform timely and sufficient internal or external reporting of our progress and evaluation of prior year material weaknesses or the current fiscal year internal control deficiencies. Remediation of Internal Control Deficiencies and Expenditures It is reasonably possible that, if not remediated, one or more of the material weaknesses described above could result in a material misstatement in our reported financial statements that might result in a material misstatement in a future annual or interim period. We are developing specific action plans for each of the above material weaknesses. In addition, our audit committee has authorized the hiring of additional temporary staff and/or the use of financial consultants, as necessary, to ensure that we have the depth and experience to remediate the above listed material weaknesses. We are uncertain at this time of the costs to remediate all of the above listed material weaknesses, however, we anticipate the cost to be in the range of $20,000 to $30,000, most of which costs we expect to incur ratably during the year. We cannot guarantee that the actual costs to remediate these deficiencies will not exceed this amount. Through these steps, we believe that we are addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. Because the remedial actions may require hiring of additional personnel, and relying extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these controls for at least several quarters may be required before management may be able to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. We intend to continue to evaluate and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting systems. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish adequate internal control over financial reporting systems, we may encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to comply with our Commission reporting obligations Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  19   Part II.
