NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BMB Munai, Inc., is a Nevada corporation that originally incorporated in the State of Utah in 1981. Since 2003, the Company’s business activities have focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production in the Republic of Kazakhstan (also referred to herein as the “ROK” or “Kazakhstan”).

On February 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Participation Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MIE Holdings Corporation (HKEx: 1555), a company with limited liability organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“MIE”), and its subsidiary, Palaeontol B.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“Palaeontol”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of its interest in its wholly owned subsidiary Emir Oil, LLP (“Emir Oil”) to Palaeontol (the “Sale”) The initial purchase price is $170 million and is subject to various closing adjustments and the deposit of $36 million in escrow to be held for a period of twelve months following the closing for indemnification purposes.

On September 19, 2011 the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in Emir Oil to a subsidiary of MIE.

In connection with the closing of the Sale, the Company voluntary delisted its common stock from the NYSE Amex (the “Amex”), which became effective following the close of business on September 29, 2011. The Company’s common stock is now quoted over-the-counter on the OTCQB, stock symbol “BMBM”.

In connection with the closing of the Sale, on September 21, 2011, the Company completed its mandatory redemption (the “Redemption”) of its $61.4 million in principal amount of 10.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of March 4, 2011, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.

The Company has a representative office in Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the consolidated results of BMB Munai, Inc., including the results of its wholly owned subsidiary, Emir Oil until September 19, 2011. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2010 to conform to the September 30, 2011 classification of discontinued operations. These classifications were made because of the sale of Emir Oil.

Going concern

With the sale of Emir Oil, the Company has no continuing operations that result in positive cash flow, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent event

On October 24, 2011 the Company declared and made a cash distribution of $1.04 per share to common stockholders of record on October 10, 2011. The total amount distributed to common stockholders was $45,018,342.

The initial distribution amount was determined after giving effect to the estimated closing adjustments and escrow amount and the repayment of the Company's 10.75% Convertible Senior Notes and after providing for the payment of or reserve for other anticipated liabilities and transaction costs.

In connection with the Sale, Boris Cherdabayev, the chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and Toleush Tolmakov, an executive officer of the Company, agreed to contribute into the escrow at closing the entirety of the cash distribution, approximately $13 million, they otherwise would have been entitled to receive from the Company in the initial cash distribution. Messrs. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov are the record or beneficial holders of 6,248,727 shares and 6,251,960 shares of Company common stock, respectively. Messrs. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov agreed to defer until the anticipated second cash distribution, if any, their portion of the initial cash distribution and have put at risk the entire value of their common stock for the Company’s indemnification purposes.

Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates and affect the results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States Dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Any gains or losses arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction are included as an exchange gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for options granted to non-employees at their fair value in accordance with FASC Topic 718 – Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation is determined as the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The measurement date for these issuances is the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the recipient to earn the equity instruments is reached or the date at which the recipient’s performance is complete. Stock options granted to the “selling agents” in private equity placement transactions have been offset against the proceeds as a cost of capital. Stock options and stocks granted to other non-employees are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has a stock option plan as described in Note 8. Compensation expense for options and stock granted to employees is determined based on their fair values at the time of grant, the cost of which is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the vesting periods of the respective options.

Share-based compensation incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $833,650. We did not incur any share-based compensation expense for the six months ended September 30, 2011.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Income taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and tax carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values reported for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values in the accompanying balance sheet due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and marketable securities purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturity.

Other fixed assets

Other fixed assets are valued at historical cost adjusted for impairment loss less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes all direct costs associated with the acquisition of the fixed assets.

Depreciation of other fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

Vehicles	3-5 years
Office equipment	3-5 years
Software	3-4 years
Furniture and fixtures	2-7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized as leasehold improvements, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Other fixed assets of the Company are evaluated annually for impairment. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than net book value, unamortized costs of other fixed assets will be reduced to a fair value. Based on the Company’s analysis at September 30, 2011, no impairment of other assets is necessary.

Convertible notes payable issue costs

The Company recognizes convertible notes payable issue costs on the balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of the related debt. The Company classifies cash payments for bond issue costs as a financing activity. The Company capitalized cash payments for bond issue costs as part of oil and gas properties in periods of drilling activities.

Functional currency

The Company makes its principal investing and financing transactions in U.S. Dollars and the U.S. Dollar is therefore its functional currency.

Income per common share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all contracts to issue common stock were converted into common stock, except for those that are anti-dilutive.

New accounting policies

Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements – In January 2010, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance regarding “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” that requires additional disclosure of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also includes clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. The Company adopted the guidance on April 1, 2010, except for requirements regarding the gross presentation of Level 3 roll forward information, which the Company adopted on April 1, 2011. Because this guidance only requires additional disclosures, it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, nor is it expected to have an impact in future periods.

In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company has placed the $36 million in cash in escrow to indemnify the buyer for losses arising from the Company’s breaches of representations and warranties, failure to perform covenants, ongoing litigation matters, compliance with (and validity of) Emir Oil’s exploration contract, transfer of certain payables, defects in ownership of certain facilities and pipelines, or violations of applicable environmental law. The maximum indemnification obligation of the Company is limited to $39 million except with respect to losses arising out of fraud or criminal misconduct.

NOTE 4 – PROMISSORY NOTES RECEIVABLE

On December 17, 2010 the Company entered into agreement with Montclair Technology, LLC (the “Borrower”) and Michael Williams (the “Guarantor’) to loan funds to the Borrower in an amount of up to $200,000. The Guarantor owns a patent and has proprietary know-how to develop oil refining and regeneration plants and Borrower desires to grant the Company a license to use and employ the technology. As further inducement for the Company to loan funds to the Borrower, Guarantor has agreed to guarantee Borrower’s obligations under any promissory note made by Borrower pursuant to this agreement.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

On December 17, 2010, Borrower issued the Company a Promissory note for $50,000 with interest rate of 18% per annum. The outstanding principal sum and all accrued and unpaid interest or other sums under this Promissory note shall be payable one year after the December 17, 2010. Borrower may prepay any or all accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid principal at any time without penalty. After the first transfer in December 2010, the Company made additional transfers starting January 19, 2011 through September 27, 2011 in the amount of $150,000.

As a result the Company treated the loan as a Promissory note receivable in its financial statements. At September 30, 2011 Promissory notes receivable amounted to $220,875, with $200,000 principal amount and $20,875 representing the amount of interest accrued.

NOTE 5 - PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS

Prepaid expenses and other assets as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, were as follows:

	September 30, 2011	March 31, 2011

Advances for services	$ 24,839	$ 31,375
Other	42,605	42,666

	$ 67,444	$ 74,041

NOTE 6 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND SALE OF EMIR OIL

Emir Oil LLP

On September 19, 2011 the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in Emir Oil LLP to a subsidiary of MIE Holdings Corporation. In anticipation of the sale of Emir Oil all operations of Emir Oil have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

The sale of Emir Oil LLP was valued at $170 million in cash, net of $10.4 million in purchase adjustments. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company has placed the $36 million in cash in escrow to indemnify the buyer for losses arising from the Company’s breaches of representations and warranties, failure to perform covenants, ongoing litigation matters, compliance with (and validity of) Emir Oil’s exploration contract, transfer of certain payables, defects in ownership of certain facilities and pipelines, or violations of applicable environmental law. Defense of such claims may result in additional costs to maintain the Company’s interest in the restricted cash or to limit potential liability. In the event that claims are successful, the balance payable to the buyer may include cash amounts in excess of the $36 million escrowed, including potentially an additional $3 million up to a total of $39 million under certain conditions. Accordingly, at September 30, 2009, the Company has classified the $36 million held in escrow as restricted cash, as a current asset.

Accounting policies – Discontinued operations

Oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures and costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. These costs do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Under this method of accounting, the cost of both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized as property and equipment. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction to capitalized costs unless a significant portion of the Company’s proved reserves are sold (greater than 25 percent), in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

Capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and related deferred income taxes shall not exceed an amount (the full cost ceiling) equal to the sum of:

the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions;

b)	plus the cost of properties not being amortized;

c)	plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized;

d)	less income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change. If oil and gas prices decline, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that impairment of the Company’s oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the cost ceiling, revisions to proved oil and gas reserves occur or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.

All geological and geophysical studies, with respect to the licensed territory, have been capitalized as part of the oil and gas properties.

The Company’s oil and gas properties primarily include the value of the license and other capitalized costs.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and estimated future costs to plug and abandon wells and costs of site restoration, less the estimated salvage value of equipment associated with the oil and gas properties, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves as determined by independent engineers.

Ceiling test

Capitalized oil and gas properties are subject to a “ceiling test.” The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by Rule 4-10 of SEC Regulation S-X. The test determines a limit, or ceiling, on the book value of oil and gas properties. That limit is basically the after tax present value of the future net cash flows from proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. This ceiling is compared to the net book value of the oil and gas properties reduced by any related deferred income tax liability. If the net book value reduced by the related deferred income taxes exceeds the ceiling, impairment or non-cash write down is required. Ceiling test impairment can cause a significant loss for a particular period; however, future depletion expense would be reduced.

Risks and uncertainties

The ability of the Company to realize the carrying value of its assets is dependent on being able to develop, transport and market oil and gas. Currently exports from the Republic of Kazakhstan are primarily dependent on transport routes either via rail, barge or pipeline, through Russian territory. Domestic markets in the Republic of Kazakhstan historically and currently do not permit world market price to be obtained. Management believes that over the life of the project, transportation options will improve as additional pipelines and rail-related infrastructure are built that will increase transportation capacity to the world markets; however, there is no assurance that this will happen in the near future.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Recognition of revenue and cost

Revenue and associated costs from the sale of oil are charged to the period when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, delivery of oil has occurred or when ownership title transfers. Produced but unsold products are recorded as inventory until sold.

Export duty

In December 2008 the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan issued a resolution that cancelled the export duty effective January 26, 2009 for companies operating under the new tax code.

In July 2010 the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan issued a resolution which reenacted export duty for several products (including crude oil). The Company became subject to the export duty in September 2010. The export duty is calculated based on a fixed rate of $20 per ton, or approximately $2.60 per barrel exported. The export duty fees are expensed as incurred and classified as costs and operating expenses.

In January 2011 the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan increased the fixed rate for duty from $20 per ton to $40 per ton, or approximately $5.20 per barrel exported.

Mineral extraction tax

The mineral extraction tax replaced the royalty expense the Company had paid. The rate of this tax depends on annual production output. The new code currently provides for a 5% mineral extraction tax rate on production sold to the export market, and a 2.5% tax rate on production sold to the domestic market. The mineral extraction tax expense is reported as part of oil and gas operating expense.

Rent export tax

This tax is calculated based on the export sales price and ranges from as low as 0%, if the price is less than $40 per barrel, to as high as 32%, if the price per barrel exceeds $190. Rent export tax is expensed as incurred and is classified as costs and operating expenses.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Prepayments for materials used in oil and gas projects

The Company periodically makes prepayments for materials used in oil and gas projects. These prepayments are presented as long term assets due to their transfer to oil and gas properties after materials are supplied and the prepayments are closed.

Inventories

Inventories of equipment for development activities, tangible drilling materials required for drilling operations, spare parts, diesel fuel, and various materials for use in oil field operations are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Under the full cost method, inventory is transferred to oil and gas properties when used in exploration, drilling and development operations in oilfields.

Inventories of crude oil are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labor costs and overhead, which has been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

The Company periodically assesses its inventories for obsolete or slow moving stock and records an appropriate provision, if there is any. The Company has assessed inventory at September 30, 2011 and no provision for obsolete inventory has been provided.

Liquidation fund

Liquidation fund (site restoration and abandonment liability) is related primarily to the conservation and liquidation of the Company’s wells and similar activities related to its oil and gas properties, including site restoration. Management assessed an obligation related to these costs with sufficient certainty based on internally generated engineering estimates, current statutory requirements and industry practices. The Company recognized the estimated fair value of this liability. These estimated costs were recorded as an increase in the cost of oil and gas assets with a corresponding increase in the liquidation fund which is presented as a long-term liability. The oil and gas assets related to liquidation fund are depreciated on the unit-of-production basis separately for each field. An accretion expense, resulting from the changes in the liability due to passage of time by applying an interest method of allocation to the amount of the liability, is recorded as accretion expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

The adequacies of the liquidation fund are periodically reviewed in the light of current laws and regulations, and adjustments made as necessary.

Other fixed assets

Depreciation of other fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings and improvements	7-10 years
Machinery and equipment	6-10 years
Vehicles	3-5 years
Office equipment	3-5 years
Software	3-4 years
Furniture and fixtures	2-7 years

NOTE 7 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share-Based Compensation

On July 17, 2008 the shareholders of the Company approved the BMB Munai, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) to provide a means whereby the Company could attract and retain employees, directors, officers and others upon whom the responsibility for the successful operations of the Company rests through the issuance of equity awards. 5,000,000 common shares are reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan. Under the terms of the 2009 Plan the board of directors determines the terms of the awards made under the 2009 Plan, within the limits set forth in the 2009 Plan guidelines.

Common Stock Grants

On January 1, 2010 the Company entered into Restricted Stock Grant Agreements with certain executive officers, directors, employees and outside consultants of the Company. The stock grants were approved by the Company board of directors and recommended by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The total number of shares granted was 1,500,000.

All of the restricted stock grants were awarded on the same terms and subject to the same vesting requirements which vesting requirements, except as disclosed below, were satisfied by all grantees during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

One of the employees left the Company on June 30, 2010. According to the vesting terms, his restricted stock grant was forfeited back to the Company and non-cash compensation expense of $14,225 related to those restricted stock grants was reversed at June 30, 2010.

Non-cash compensation expense in the amount of $833,650, which is net of the expense reversal discussed above, was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated balance sheets for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Consulting Agreement

On October 15, 2008 the MEMR increased Emir Oil’s contract territory from 460 square kilometers to 850 square kilometers. In connection with this extension, and any other territory extensions or acquisitions, the Consultant will be paid a share payment in restricted common stock for resources and reserves associated with any acquisition. The value of any acquisition property will be determined by reference to a 3D seismic study and a resource/reserve report by a qualified independent petroleum engineer acceptable to the Company. The acquisition value (“Acquisition Value”) will be equal to the total barrels of resources and reserves, as defined and determined by the engineering report multiplied by the following values:

Resources at $.50 per barrel;

Probable reserves at $1.00 per barrel; and

Proved reserve at $2.00 per barrel.

The number of shares to be issued to the Consultant shall be the Acquisition Value divided by the higher of $6.50 or the average closing price of the Company’s trading shares for the five trading days prior to the issuance of the reserve/resource report, provided that in no event shall the total number of shares issuable to the Consultant exceed more than a total of 4,000,000 shares. With the completion of the 3D seismic study the resources associated with the territory extension have now been determined and the Company anticipates compensation due to the consultant will be approximately 4,000,000 shares.

On July 20, 2010 the Company incurred an obligation to issue 3,947,539 common shares to the Consultant as the success fee for assisting the Company to obtain an extension of the territory for exploration. The calculation for amount of shares to be issued was based on resource report, which confirms 51,318,000 barrels of oil on extended territory multiplied by $0.50 rate as per contract divided by $6.50. The shares have been valued at $0.56 per share, which was the closing market price of Company’s shares on July 20, 2010. As a result of this transaction $2,214,569 was capitalized to oil and gas properties.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

The dilutive weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, does not include the effect of the potential conversion of the Notes because the average market share price the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was lower than potential conversion price of the convertible notes for this period.

The diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended September 30, 2010 does not include the effect of the potential conversion of the Notes because conversion of the Notes is not contingent upon any market event. Rather, the Notes are convertible to common stock upon the first to occur of (a) the tenth New York business day following the Shelf Registration Statement Effective Date and (b) 13 July 2008.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Consulting Agreement with Boris Cherdabayev

On December 31, 2009 the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Boris Cherdabayev, the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors. The Consulting Agreement became effective on January 1, 2010. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, in addition to his services as Chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Cherdabayev was to provide such consulting and other services as may reasonably be requested by Company management.

The Consulting Agreement provides for an extraordinary event payment equal to the greater of $5,000,000 or the base compensation fee for the remaining initial term of the Consulting Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement the Sale constituted an extraordinary event.

In February 2011 Mr. Cherdabayev agreed to an amendment to his Consulting Agreement that will defer, until the escrow amount is released, the $5,000,000 extraordinary event payment that would otherwise have been payable to him in connection with the Sale. The amendment provides further, that the extraordinary event payment will be limited to the amount remaining in escrow if less than $5,000,000, with the possibility of it being reduced to $0 if the escrow amount is depleted entirely. Payment of this liability will be paid to Mr. Cherdabayev, if at all, before any escrow funds are otherwise distributed, as would have been the case had Mr. Cherdabayev not agreed to the amendment. As of September 30, 2011, the $5,000,000 has been accrued and included in accrued consulting and severance payments on the balance sheet.

Extraordinary Event Payment Obligations to Executive Officers, Certain Employees and Other Consultants

On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into employment agreements with executive officers of the Company. These agreements contained confidentiality, non-competition and non-interference provisions and provided for those individuals to receive payments upon termination or upon the occurrence of an extraordinary event. The Company also had agreements with certain employees and other consultants, in addition to Mr. Cherdabayev, that provided for payments upon the occurrence of an extraordinary event. The Sale constitutes an extraordinary event under the agreements discussed herein. Upon consummation of the Sale of Emir Oil, the Company became obligated to pay extraordinary event payments totaling $7,886,648, including $4,111,958 to executive officers and $3,774,690 to certain employees and consultants, in addition to the payment to Mr. Cherdabayev discussed above. As of September 30, 2011, $4,995,710 has been paid. The remaining $2,890,938 is included in accrued consulting and extraordinary payments on the balance sheet.

Litigation

In December 2003, Brian Savage, Thomas Sinclair and Sokol Holdings, Inc. filed complaints against the Company, its founders, and former directors, Georges Benarroch and Alexandre Agaian. The complaints all arose from the acquisition of a controlling interest in Emir Oil. After a complicated procedural history that has previously been described in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, the case was set for trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The Court scheduled a jury trial to begin on October 5, 2010. However, in a series of rulings on motions in limine and pursuant to the Court's Order to Show Cause in advance of trial, the Court granted summary judgment dismissing all remaining claims after plaintiffs agreed with respect to their unfair competition claim that plaintiffs had no evidence of damages other than the evidence the District Court had excluded pursuant to its ruling on a motion in limine.

On February 8, 2011, the Trial Court signed a final Order granting judgment against plaintiffs and in favor of the Company and all other BMB defendants. The judgment was based on the Court's prior Orders and the stipulations of the parties entered on the record on October 5, 2010. The judgment was filed on February 9, 2011.

Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal on February 22, 2011, and the appeal was docketed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. After full briefing and oral argument, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit summarily affirmed the decision of the trial court, dismissing Plaintiffs’ entire case on September 26, 2011. Plaintiffs did not seek reconsideration and the time to do so has expired. The Company has sought an award of costs against Plaintiffs of $26,207. That request to recover costs will be heard on November 30, 2011.

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 cash and cash equivalents included deposits in Kazakhstan banks in the amount $40,842 and $224,163, respectively, and deposits in U.S. banks in the amount of $51,786,905 and $201,882, respectively. Kazakhstan banks are not covered by FDIC insurance, nor does the Republic of Kazakhstan have an insurance program similar to FDIC. Therefore, the full amount of the Company’s deposits in Kazakhstan banks was uninsured as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011. The Company’s deposits in U.S. banks are also in non-FDIC insured accounts which means they too are not insured to the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit. To mitigate this risk, the Company has placed all of its U.S. deposits in a money market account that invests in U.S. Government backed securities.

The results of our operations, that are solely operations of BMB Munai, excluding the operations of Emir Oil, will be reported and further discussed as results of continuing operations. This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations has been retroactively reclassified and subdivided to results from continuing operations and results from discontinued operations.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our continuing and discontinued operating results, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources during the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto accompanying this report.

Results of Continuing Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 except from oil and gas sales through Emir Oil.

Expenses

The following table presents details of our expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	For the three months ended September 30, 2011	For the three months ended September 30, 2010
Costs and Operating Expenses:
General and administrative	$ 17,495,289	$ 2,650,983
Interest expense	1,432,875	1,100,382
Amortization and depreciation	29,646	23,239
Total	$ 18,957,810	$ 3,774,604

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $17,495,289 compared to $2,650,983 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. This represents a 560% increase. This increase was mainly the result of the termination payments in the total amount of $7,886,648 accrued and paid to executive officers of the Company, upon termination of employment agreements, coupled with the accrued termination fee expense for Mr. Cherdabayev’s Consulting Agreement in the amount of $5,000,000 and selling expenses in the amount of $3,989,531 incurred and paid during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 is associated with the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary Emir Oil LLP and we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease in upcoming quarters.

Interest Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred interest expense from continuing operations of $1,432,875 compared to interest expense of $1,100,382 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The 30% increase in interest expense was the result of increases in the interest rate on our outstanding convertible notes we agreed to in connection with the restructuring the notes. As the convertible notes were retired during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we expect that interest expense will no longer be accrued in upcoming quarters.

Amortization and Depreciation. Amortization and depreciation expense from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $6,407 or 28% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase resulted from acquisition of fixed assets during the second quarter of the fiscal year 2012. We anticipate amortization and depreciation expense to remain on the same level during upcoming fiscal quarters.

Loss from Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized a loss from continuing operations of $18,957,810 compared to loss from continuing operations of $3,774,604 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in loss from operations during three months ended September 30, 2011 is the result of the 560% increase in general and administrative expenses.

Total Other Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized total other expense from continuing operations of $9,303 compared to total other expense of $68,104 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The 86% decrease was mainly due to a reduction in foreign exchange loss of $47,367 and interest income of $13,367 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to interest income of $1,218 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Loss from Continuing Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we realized a loss from continuing operations of $18,967,113 compared to $3,842,708 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. This 394% increase in loss from continuing operations was primarily attributable to increased general and administrative and interest expense discussed above.

Income from Discontinued Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we realized income from discontinued operations of $3,245,649 compared to $3,286,288 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. With the completion of the Sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we will not realize income from discontinued operations in future periods.

Loss on Sale of Emir Oil. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred a loss on sale of our subsidiary Emir Oil LLP in the amount of $127,147,771. As more fully illustrated in Note 6 – Discontinued Operations, this loss was the result of the sale of the net assets of Emir Oil LLP which totaled $290,726,156, for net proceeds from the sale of $159,601,000 (after giving effect to purchase adjustments) and recognizing the tax effect of the sale of $3,977,385.

Net Loss. For all of the foregoing reasons, during the three months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred net loss of $142,869,235 or $2.56 basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $556,420 or $0.01 basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010. With the completion of the sale of Emir Oil, we anticipate general and administrative expenses will be lower in upcoming fiscal quarters. We will also cease to realize revenue or expense from discontinued operations. While we anticipate our expenses and net losses to be lower in future periods, with the sale of Emir Oil, we no longer have operations or revenues. Therefore, we do expect to continue to realize net losses in the future.

Six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 except from oil and gas sales through Emir Oil.

General and administrative expenses from continuing operations during the six months ended September 30, 2011 were $19,680,228 compared to $4,603,461 during the six months ended September 30, 2010. This represents a 328% increase. This increase was mainly the result of the termination payments in the total amount of $7,886,648 accrued and paid to executive officers of the Company, upon termination of employment agreements, coupled with the accrued termination fee expense for Mr. Cherdabayev’s Consulting Agreement in the amount of $5,000,000 and selling expenses in the amount of $3,989,531 incurred and paid during the six months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2011 is associated with the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary Emir Oil LLP. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease in upcoming quarters.

Interest Expense. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred interest expense from continuing operations of $3,551,022 compared to interest expense of $2,203,132 during the six months ended September 30, 2010. The 61% increase in interest expense was the result of increases in the interest rate on our outstanding convertible notes we agreed to in connection with the restructuring the notes.

Amortization and Depreciation. Amortization and depreciation expense from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $4,716 or 10% compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease resulted from the write-off of fixed assets during the six months ended September 30, 2011 of the fiscal year 2012.

Loss from Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized a loss from operations of $23,274,375 compared to loss from operations of $6,854,434 during the six months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in loss from operations during six months ended September 19, 2011 is the result of the 328% increase in general administrative expenses during six months ended September 19, 2011, coupled with 61% increase in interest expense.

Total Other Expense. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized total other expense from continuing operations of $21,571 compared to total other expense of $61,566 during the six months ended September 30, 2010. The 65% decrease was mainly due to 607% increase in interest income, coupled with 56% decrease in foreign exchange loss.

Loss from Continuing Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we realized a loss from continuing operations of $23,295,946 compared to $6,916,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2010. This 237% increase in loss from continuing operations was primarily attributable to increased general and administrative and interest expense discussed above.

Loss on Sale of Emir Oil. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we have incurred loss on sale of our subsidiary Emir Oil LLP in the amount of $127,147,771. As more fully illustrated in Note 6 – Discontinued Operations, this loss was the result of the sale of the net assets of Emir Oil LLP which totaled $290,726,156, for net proceeds from the sale of $159,601,000 (after giving effect to purchase adjustments) and recognizing the tax effect of the sale of $3,977,385.

During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we realized income from discontinued operations of $ 11,899,714 compared to $ 7,231,448 during the six months ended September 30, 2010. The 65% increase was due to a 66% increase in revenue resulting from increased sales volume and a 59% increase in average realized oil price. With the completion of the Sale during the six months ended September 30, 2011, we will not realize income from discontinued operations in future periods.

Net Loss/Income. For all of the foregoing reasons, during the six months ended September 19, 2011 we realized net loss of $ 138,544,003 or $ 2.48 basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net income of $315,448 or $ 0.01 basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As noted throughout this report, on September 19, 2011 we completed the sale of our wholly-owned operating subsidiary Emir Oil, LLP to a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIE Holdings Corporation. The initial purchase price was $170 million, which was subject to various closing adjustments of $10.4 million and the deposit of $36 million in escrow to be held for a period of twelve months following the closing for indemnification purposes. From the proceeds of the Sale we also paid selling expenses of $4 million.

In connection with the closing of the Sale, on September 21, 2011 we completed the mandatory redemption and retirement of all of our outstanding Senior Notes in exchange for payment to the holders of the Senior Notes in the aggregate amount of $62.6 million.

As a result of the closing of the Sale we were also contractually obligated to make extraordinary event payments to our executive officers and certain employees and consultants of the Company in the aggregate amount of $7.9 million, exclusive of the extraordinary event payment owed to Boris Cherdabayev discussed in more detail below. As of September 30, 2011 we had paid $5 million in extraordinary event payment. The balance has been recorded as short-term liabilities in Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement.

On October 24, 2011 we paid an initial cash distribution of $1.04 per share to Company common stockholders of record on October 10, 2011. The aggregate amount paid in connection with the initial distribution was $45 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we are required to indemnify the buyer of Emir Oil for losses arising from our breaches of representations and warranties, failure to perform covenants, ongoing litigation matters, compliance with (and validity of) Emir Oil’s existing exploration contract, transfer of certain payables, defects in ownership of certain facilities and pipelines, or violations of applicable environmental laws. The representations, warranties and covenants of the buyer and the Company survive for a period of twelve months following the closing date, except in the case of fraud or criminal misconduct on our part, in which case survival is without limitation. Our maximum indemnification obligation is limited to $39 million. To help satisfy this obligation we are required by the Purchase Agreement to escrow $36 million of the proceeds from the Sale for a period of twelve months following the Closing.

In connection with the Sale, Boris Cherdabayev, the chairman of our board of directors, and Toleush Tolmakov, an executive officer of the Company, agreed to contribute into the escrow at closing (to form part of the $36 million in escrow funds) the entirety of the cash distribution, approximately $13 million, they otherwise would have been entitled to receive from us in the initial stockholder distribution. Mr. Cherdabayev is the record or beneficial holder of 6,248,727 shares of our common stock. Mr. Tolmakov is the record or beneficial holder of 6,251,960 shares of our common stock. As a result these individuals have agreed to defer until the anticipated second stockholder distribution, if any, their portion of the initial stockholder distribution and have put at risk the entire value of their common stock for our indemnification purposes. By doing so, they enabled us to pay to the remaining Company stockholders at the initial distribution the amount of cash that otherwise would have been paid to Messrs. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov at the initial distribution.

In order to increase the amount of the initial distribution available to Company shareholders, Mr. Cherdabayev also agreed to amend his consulting contract with the Company to defer until twelve months following the closing a $5 million extraordinary event payment owed to him at the closing. In connection with the amendment, it was agreed that the extraordinary event payment amount would be limited to the amount remaining in escrow if less than $5 million. Payment of this liability to Mr. Cherdabayev will be made, if at all, before any escrow funds are distributed to our stockholders, as would have been the case had he not agreed to the amendment.

Upon release of the escrow funds (after payment to Mr. Cherdabayev of any amounts due to him under his amended consulting agreement in respect of the extraordinary event payment), if any, Messrs. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov will receive prior to any distributions to other stockholders the initial distribution that they contributed into escrow, to the extent remaining, with the balance of any remaining escrow and other available funds to be distributed thereafter to all of our stockholders, including Messr. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov, pro rata in accordance with their shares of common stock.

We will continue to operate the Company until at least twelve months following the closing of the Sale and will continue to work with the buyer during the indemnification period to assist with the ownership transition and to satisfy our obligations to the buyer under the Purchase Agreement. We intend to continue to explore opportunities to exploit the expertise of our management staff within the oil and gas sector in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Our principal source of liquidity during the six months ended September 30, 2011 was cash and cash equivalents.

At September 30, 2011 cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations had increased to approximately $87.4 million.

Certain operating cash flows are denominated in local currency and are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. Because of the potential for civil unrest, war and asset expropriation, some or all of these matters, which impact operating cash flow, may affect our ability to meet our short-term cash needs.
