The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.   7   JMG Exploration, Inc. 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 June 30, 2010, JMG has an accumulated deficit of $­­26,655,101 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, 2011. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy 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, 2009 and 2008. 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, 2009 and for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, JMG adjusted the 2007 reserve information per this report based on 2008, 2009 and 2010 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 records stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 CompensationStock Compensation. 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 The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013.  The company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Income (loss) per Common Share Income (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 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 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, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 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 June 30, 2010 and 2009 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 $124,200 and $69,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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 ASC Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Update 2010-06), that requires additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the fair value measurements of the activity in Level 3 on a gross basis and the transfers between Levels 1 and 2. This new authoritative guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures regarding gross activity in the Level 3 rollforward, which will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASC Update 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. The Company adopted FASB ASC Update 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which removes the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  However, the date-disclosure exemption does not relieve management of an SEC filer from its responsibility to evaluate subsequent events through the date on which financial statements are issued.  This authoritative guidance was effective upon issuance on February 24, 2010.  The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. 3.  LOAN RECEIVABLE In conjunction with a September 5, 2007 Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of Newco Group Limited, JMG provided Newco a $3,000,000 loan to enable Newco to purchase additional shares in Iris representing approximately a 39% equity interest in Iris (excluding the 14.5% equity interest already owned by Newco).  As security for the loan, JMG received a security interest in the ordinary shares of Iris purchased by Newco with the proceeds of the JMG loan. As further security for the loan, JMG received an irrevocable proxy from ESAPI Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of the  11   Bahamas (ESAPI), granting to JMG the right to vote the shares of Iris currently owned by Newco that have been pledged to ESAPI by Newco as security for a loan by ESAPI to Newco. Newco has been determined to be a variable interest entity, however as JMG is not the primary beneficiary, the financial position and results of operations for Newco are not consolidated with JMG as of December 31, 2008. On January 4, 2008, JMG elected to exercise its right under the Share Exchange Agreement to terminate such agreement. After a series of extensions, on July 22, 2008 JMG issued a formal notice of default to Newco and started the process of transferring into the name of JMG shares of Iris which JMG held as security for the loan and which were registered in the name of Newco. Due to concerns regarding the underlying value of Iris, JMG recorded a valuation allowance of $1,850,000 as of December 31, 2007 and reduced the value of the Newco Note receivable and underlying Iris shares to $1,150,000. On November 11, 2009 JMG entered into a Settlement Agreement between Newco, and Iris. The Settlement Agreement provided that all rights, claims and demands of all parties are settled in full upon JMGs surrender of 1,427,665 shares of Iris held as collateral for the loan and JMGs receipt of $1,900,000. Payment to JMG and the transfer of the shares occurred in May 2010. JMG reduced its valuation allowance  by $750,000 in the 4th quarter of 2009. 4.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment expense was $2,277­­­­­ and $4,514 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $2,077­­­­­ and $172,629 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Undeveloped land and other assets not related to petroleum and natural gas properties were excluded from the depletion calculation.

5.  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. There were no payments to JED under this agreement during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The total amount payable to JED was $0 at June 30, 2010. 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 $0 and $1,028 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $15,631 and $26,518 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. A balance of $2,929 is due Skeehan & Company as of June 30, 2010.   12   6.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION As of June 30, 2010, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $29,257 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 $281and $562 was recorded for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010.  Asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2009$          28,976Accretion expense281Asset retirement obligations at June 30, 2010$          29,257   7. 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 June 30, 2010. 8. 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 royalty 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. 9. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY 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 six month period ended June 30, 2010. 10.  Subsequent Events 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the managements discussion and analysis for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  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, 2009. 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 June 30, 2010, JMG has an accumulated deficit of $26,655,101 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, 2011. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy 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, net of royalties and taxes, were $20,700 and $41,400 for the three and six  month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $20,700 and $41,400 for the three and six  month periods ended June 30, 2009, 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 have accrued production revenues based on historical production data but have fully reserved accounts receivable from NEO pending the outcome of the litigation. 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. General and administrative expenses were $42,965 and $150,041 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $217,017 and $266,559 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Expenses consist principally of salaries, consulting fees and office costs. The decrease in general and administrative expense from 2009 was principally due to a reduction in audit, legal, accounting and consulting fees and bad debt expense. 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 have been accrued based on historic production data pending the outcome of our litigation with NEO. Accrued were $9,895 and $26,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $16,105 and $26,096 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Depletion, depreciation. amortization and impairment expense.Depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses were $2,277 and $4,514 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 and $2,077 and $172,629 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, respectively. The decrease in 2010 was principally due to a $169,000 increase in the impairment reserve for undeveloped land in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Accretion expense.As of June 30, 2010, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $29,257 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 and $562 was recorded for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2009, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $28133 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 and $562 was recorded for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009.  15   Interest income. Interest income was $2,524 and $2,535 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 and was $260 and $260 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, respectively. Interest was principally attributable to investment of the proceeds of the loan receivable from Newco, Inc which was paid in full in May 2010. Deemed dividend on warrant extension. 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. 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, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 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 2010 and 2009 is zero percent.  Liquidity and capital resources At June 30, 2010, we had $1,728,917 in cash and cash equivalents. Since our incorporation, we have financed our operating cash flow needs through private and public offerings of equity securities. JMG has the following warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2010: Warrant summary

As of June 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $26,655,101 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, 2011. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy JMG is presently exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or merger with another party.  Cash flow used in operations.Cash utilized by operating activities was $(193,896) for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and $(187,150) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009. The use of cash in 2010 was attributable to net loss of $121,815 which was increased by the decrease in accounts payable of $114,619 and due to affiliates, and decreased by a decrease in accounts receivable of $41,400 and stock based compensation of $73,673 which did not use cash. The cash requirements were further offset by  16   depletion expense of $5,076, and an increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts of $41,400 which did not use cash. The use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was principally attributable to a net loss of $423,996 which was increased by an increase in accounts receivable of $41,005. These cash requirements were offset by a increase in accounts payable of $48,708, depletion expense of $173,191, an increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts of $41,400 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $14,552 which did not collectively utilize cash. Cash flow provided by investing activities.Cash provided by investing activities was $1,900,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement between JMG, Newco, and Iris, received payment of $1,900,000 in May 2010. Cash flow used in financing activities.Cash flows from financing activities was $0 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. 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. There were no payments to JED under this agreement during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The total amount payable to JED was $0 at June 30, 2010. 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 $0 and $1,028 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and $15,631 and $26,518 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. A balance of $2,929 is due Skeehan & Company as of June 30, 2010. Outlook and Proposed Transactions As of June 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $26,655,101 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, 2011. Raising additional capital is not considered a viable strategy JMG is presently exploring a range of strategic alternatives, including the possible sale or merger with another party. Subsequent Events 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.  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. Our loan receivable is due to an advance related to a now terminated merger agreement. We foreclosed on the loan retained a financial consultant with international expertise to evaluate the valuation of the securities held as collateral for our loan receivable and recorded a recorded a valuation allowance of $1,850,000. In May 2010 JMG received $1.9 million in payment in full of the loan pursuant to a November 2009 settlement agreement and reduced its valuation allowance  by $750,000 in the 4th quarter of 2009.  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 June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010. 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 2010 and anticipate that all control deficiencies and material weaknesses will be remediated by December 31, 2010. 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.   18   · 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.  · 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 June 30, 2010. 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.
