1.

INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

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 have signed a letter of intent to pursue a possible acquisition of JMG by JED.  The proposal would offer two-thirds of a share of common stock of JED for each share of common stock of JMG.  This exchange ratio is based on the market to market recent trading prices of JED and JMG stock and the transaction is subject to the receipt of independent third party opinions that the transaction is fair to both the shareholders of JMG and shareholders of JED.  Completion of the transaction is also subject to receipt of all required regulatory and stock exchange approvals in both the United States and Canada, and to the approval of the shareholders of both JMG and JED.  It is anticipated that all of the outstanding common shares, warrants and options of JMG will be converted at the above-mentioned exchange rate.  The JMG Board of Directors has extended the JMG warrants that were to expire in August and December of 2006 to January 15, 2007.



As with many development stage enterprises, JMG has not realized aprofit from operations since its incorporation on July 16, 2004. 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.



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 period from the date of incorporation on July 16, 2004 to 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 has a stock-based employee 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 for three-month period ended March 31, 2006, is $2,346 higher, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25. Basic and diluted loss per share for three-month period ended March 31, 2006 would have been $0.04 and $0.04, respectively, if the company had not adopted Statement 123(R), compared to reported basic and diluted loss per share of $0.04 and $0.04, respectively.



The following table illustrates the effect on net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005, for the period from the date of incorporation on July 16, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and for three-month period ended March 31, 2006 and loss per 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.

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 have 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.

e) Loss per share

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 the weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 5,036,049. (2005  March 31, 2005 weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 250,000). All of the Companys outstanding stock options and warrants currently have an anitdilutive effect on per common share amounts.  These stock options and warrants could be dilutive in future periods.



6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 1, 2004 the Company entered into a technical services agreement with JED Oil Inc. (JED).  Under the Agreement, JED provides all required personnel, office space and equipment, at standard industry rates for similar services.  JED is considered an affiliate, because of its ownership interest in us and because two of our directors are directors of JED. This agreement was terminated on January 1, 2006; it was replaced by a joint services agreement, which operates to provide the above services on an as needed basis. There were no transactions under this agreement during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006.

JED paid on behalf of the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 total of $nil (2005 - $342,270) and $582,505 for the period from incorporation, for general and administrative services and capital related expenditures.



JED also paid, 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 for the period ended March 31, 2006, in the amount of $1,249,917 (2005 - $85,085) and $2,802,014 for the period from incorporation. This amount for the period ended March 31, 2006 will be paid through the collection of joint venture receivables from unrelated third parties. Amounts payable, relating to the JED farm in, are due and payable on receipt of funds from the unrelated third party.



7.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

As at March 31, 2006, the estimated present value of the Companys asset retirement obligation was $80,313 (2005 - $nil) based on estimated future cash requirements of $216,000, 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 $1,671 was recorded for the three months ending March 31, 2006, (2005 - $nil).  The accretion recorded from the period from incorporation July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 was $5,056.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

JMG Exploration, Inc

Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation



May 11, 2006 The following Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) 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 months ended March 31, 2006, the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the managements discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2005. This commentary is based upon information available to May 11, 2006.



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 described in "Risk Factors" of the Companys Registration Statement dated August 3, 2005.

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 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.



Finally, in the presentation of the MD&A, JMG uses two terms that are universally applied in analyzing corporate performance within the oil and gas industry but 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 MD&A, 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.



17





---



Funds Flow from Operations (funds flow) This measure is considered important within the oil and gas industry both in terms of measuring success in JMGs historical operations and being an indicator of funding sources for on-going efforts to replace production volumes and increase reserve volumes.  United States GAAP requires that funds flow from operating activities be the measurement focus.  Funds flow is derived from cash flow as defined by JMG and then is adjusted for operating activity. JMG believes funds flow and funds flow per share to be more meaningful measures of our performance and therefore have used these terms throughout this MD&A.  Accordingly, we are required to advise the reader that:  (a) these are non-GAAP measure for purposes the United States accounting standards and (b) our determinations may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.







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.  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 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.

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.  Six of the nine wells drilled to date were on production in late 2005 with the other three wells have come on production this quarter.  Our average production for the first quarter of 2006 was 115 boe/d.



JMG currently has over 115,000 gross (over 80,000 net) acres of land in northern North Dakota.  In addition, JMG owns a 77.5% working interest in a section of land in the Pinedale area of Wyoming.  These lands offset the prolific Jona/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.  Three wells have been drilled into this formation to date and 16 development locations have been identified as a result of this initial drilling.

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 $633,611 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, there was no revenue for the same period in 2005.  This revenue related to production sales from two Bakken exploratory wells, two Midale exploratory wells and two non-operated Midale wells in North Dakota together with revenue from two non-operated wells in Wyoming.    Total revenue from incorporation July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 was $1,488,475.

Critical to our 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:



|                                                    |           |             
|--------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------
|                                                    | 2006      | 2005        
|                                                    | March 31, | December 31,
|West Texas Intermediate grade crude oil, per barrel | $62.69    | $59.78      





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.





Royalty expense.    Royalty expense is based on the percentage royalties calculated by applying the applicable royalty rate or formula.  The royalties for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 were $180,876 there were no revenues or related royalties for the same period in 2005. Total royalties from incorporation July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 were $408,280.

Interest income.    Interest for the periods ending March 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively are $nil and $73,323. Interest has decreased due to the repayment of the promissory note and interest by an unrelated industry partner on June 28, 2005. Total interest from incorporation July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 was $185,091.





Production expense.    Production costs include operating costs associated with field activities. Production expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 were $135,462; there was no production for the same period 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 July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 were $325,060.

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.  Stock compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was as $24,868.  There was no stock based compensation for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.  The Company has adopted Statement 123(R) using the modified-prospective method, therefore for the three month period ended March 31, 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-base compensation expense from incorporation July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 was $103,457.





Geophysical and geological expense.    There were no geophysical and geological expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 or March 31, 2005. 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 July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 were $256,484.

Depletion, depreciation expense.   Depletion, depreciation and accretion expense were $206,299 for the three months ending March 31, 2006 and $34,316 for the same period in 2005.  This increase was due to the depletion recorded in the current year, (2005 -$nil). Depletion was only recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2005 due to commencement of production.  In 2005 the companys impairment that was recorded that related to properties located in Wyoming and North Dakota.  This impairment is a result of unsuccessful work programs and production evaluation work performed during 2005. The impairment equals the excess of the aggregate carrying value of PP&E 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 impairment in 2005 when it terminated operations in the Fiddler Creek area and abandoned any further plans for development in the area. Impairment ($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 and depreciation expenses from incorporation July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 were $4,951,163.

Funds flow from operations.   It is managements view that funds flow from operations is a useful measure of performance and a good benchmark when comparing results from year to year or quarter to quarter.  Funds flow from operations is a non-GAAP measure, reconciled with GAAP net earnings in the table below.

Liquidity and capital resources



Cash flows and capital expenditures



At March 31, 2006, we had $652,136 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 a letter of extension was issued on March 29, 2006 and the note is now due and payable on May 31, 2006.



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 gross proceeds of $11,143,500.



We have no plans for any future issues of equity securities other than in conjunction with the exercise of outstanding warrants, and pursuant to our employee equity compensation plan. Any additional exploration activities are dependent upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants, which are summarized in the table below.  In the event funds from the exercise of warrants are unavailable, we will delay our exploration activities until alternative sources of capital are obtained, 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 are not trading and were outstanding upon the closing of our initial public offering on August 3, 2005.

Cash flow used in operations. Cash utilized by operating activities was $1,301,706 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and cash was provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 in the amount of $187,562. The increase in the use of cash was partially attributable to the decrease in accounts payable of $1,844,389, accounts payable to JED of $146,349 this was offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and deposits of $126,938 and by the increase in accounts receivable of $791,089. Depreciation and depletion and accretion expense were $207,970 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2006 and $34,316 for the same period in 2005. The stock-based compensation was $24,868 for the period ending March 31, 2006 and $nil for the period ended March 31, 2005.



Cash utilized by operating activities was $3,010,004 for the period from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006. The use of cash was principally attributable to the net loss of the period of $6,723,098 decreased by the change in accounts payable of $1,592,223 and prepaid expenses of $161,639.  This is offset by the increase in accounts receivables of $282,488 and due to JED Oil Inc of $140,607.

Cash flow used in investing activities       Cash utilized for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 was $1,097,006 (2005 - $1,511,386). Cash utilized in investing activities was $19,575,721 for the period from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 and was principally attributable to $18,986,970 in property and equipment purchased for our exploration prospects which included the following: the Hooligan Draw prospect of $1,517,679, the Cut Bank prospect of $416,299, the Fiddler Creek prospect of $163,800, the Bakken prospect $3,112,797 the Rindal prospect $3,581,769, the two Candak prospects $5,324,611, and $5,270,602 invested in connection with a farm-in agreement and direct purchase of acreage for several prospects in the Bakken Zone of North Dakota which comprised our Candak prospect, Myrtle Beach prospect and Bluffton prospects.  In November 2004, we loaned Fellows Energy $1,500,000, with interest at a rate of 18% per annum and a fixed and specific charge on all the assets provided as collateral.  The promissory note was due and payable in two installments: the first installment of $750,000 plus accrued interest was received February 2005, and the second, for the remaining balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was due April 30, 2005.  The first installment has been paid, including accrued interest to date.  In May 2005, we accepted the remaining 50% working interest in the contracted lands we did not already own as payment in full on the final installment of the note due from Fellows Energy, including accrued interest to date.  We granted Fellows an option through June 30, 2005 to reacquire an undivided 50% interest in the exploration and development lands for $391,249.  The option was exercised on June 28, 2005.





Cash flow used in financing activities.Cash provided by financing activities was $ $1,917,873 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 this was attributable to the promissory note of $1,500,000 and warrants that were exercised during the period for $417,873 (2005 - $nil).



Cash provided by financing activities was $23,258,548 for the period from incorporation on July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2006 and was attributable to two private placements completed in 2004 and the initial public offering on August 3, 2005.  We realized $1,000,000 from the sale of common stock to JED.  We realized $7,797,100 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.  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.



Changes in critical accounting estimates



Stock-based compensation

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. 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.

We determine the fair value of our common stock by evaluating a number of factors, including our financial condition and business prospects, our stage of development and achievement of key technical and business milestones, private and public market conditions, the terms of our private financings and the valuations of similar companies in our industry.



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



Our exploration prospects have several phases of possible development.  Costs cannot be estimated at this time, as they are dependent upon the results of the exploration activities.  In the event the results of the initial exploration are positive, our investment in subsequent exploration phases could be substantial.  In the event the results of the initial exploration are not positive, there may be no further expenditures on the prospect.



Related Party Transactions

On August 1, 2004 the Company entered into a technical services agreement with JED Oil Inc. (JED).  Under the Agreement, JED provides all required personnel, office space and equipment, at standard industry rates for similar services.  JED is considered an affiliate of ours because of its ownership interest in us and because two of our directors are directors of JED. This agreement was terminated on January 1, 2006; it was replaced by a joint services agreement, which operates to provide the above services on an as needed basis. There were no transactions under this agreement during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006.

JED paid on behalf of the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 total of $nil (2005 - $342,270) and $582,505 for the period from incorporation, for general and administrative services and capital related expenditures.



JED also paid, 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 for the period ended March 31, 2006, in the amount of $1,249,917 (2005 - $85,085) and $2,802,014 for the period from incorporation. This amount for the period ended March 31, 2006 will be paid through the collection of joint venture receivables from unrelated third parties. Amounts payable, relating to the JED farm in, are due and payable on receipt of funds from the unrelated third party.

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 are expected to be with customers in the energy industry and are 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 JED and Enterra are based in Canada, we may be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate between U.S. and Canadian dollars as most of our operating expenses, drilling expenses and general overhead expenses will be billed by JED and Enterra 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. When the value of the U.S. dollar increases, we will receive higher revenue from any Canadian prospects and when the value of the U.S. dollar declines, we will receive lower revenue from any Canadian prospects on the same amount of production sold at the same prices.

Interest Rate Risk.Interest rate risk will exist principally with respect to any future indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates. At March 31, 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 early 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.

JMG and JED announced in January 2006 that they are pursuing a possible merger in which JMG would merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of JED in the U.S., and JMG's securities would be exchanged for securities of JED on the basis of two-thirds of a JED common share for each JMG common share.
