NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BMB Munai, Inc., is a Nevada corporation that originally incorporated in the State of Utah in 1981. From 2003 to 2011, the Company’s business activities 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 was 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 accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company is currently engaged in certain post-closing undertakings to assist the MIE subsidiary with the acquisition of certain contracts, leases and transfers of rights.

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.

As a result 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”.

Since September 2011 the Company’s principal business operations have been focused on satisfying certain post-closing undertakings to assist the MIE subsidiary with the acquisition of certain contracts, leases and transfers of rights in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and exploring opportunities to exploit the expertise of Company management staff within the oil and gas sector in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

The Company’s efforts to satisfy its obligations under the Purchase Agreement do not generate revenue for the Company. The Company does not anticipate generating revenue until such time as it is able to identify and exploit new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to identify or exploit any new business opportunity, or that it will have the funds then available to it that will enable it to seek to take advantage of any such opportunity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of BMB Munai, Inc. (the “Company” or “BMB Munai”) has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2012, and results of its operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

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.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

Subsequent event

On October 30, 2012 the Company declared and made a second cash distribution of $0.30 per share to common stockholder of record on October 15, 2012, the top end of the range per share originally contemplated when the Company publicly disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 14, 2011 that it had agreed to sell Emir Oil. The total amount to be distributed to common stockholders in connection with this second cash distribution is $16,736,266.

The second cash distribution amount was determined after giving effect to required fund allocations, (including payment of the $5 million deferred extraordinary event payment to Boris Cherdabayev and payments to Boris Cherdabayev and Toleush Tolmakov of their deferred initial cash distribution in the aggregate amount of approximately $13 million), actual costs incurred and other factors. Messrs. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov agreed to defer and put at risk until the second cash distribution, the entire portion of the initial cash distribution and Mr. Cherdavayev’s extraordinary event payment to increase the amount of funds available to the Company’s other stockholders in the initial distribution which was paid on October 24, 2011.

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.

Concentration of credit risk

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

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.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

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.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values reported for cash equivalents, notes 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 three 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, 2012

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, 2012, no impairment of other assets is necessary.

Income (Loss) per common share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) 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.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements are expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or the results of operations.

NOTE 3 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 cash and cash equivalents included:

	September 30, 2012	March 31, 2012

U.S. Dollars	$ 37,208,737	$ 39,363,094
Foreign currency	-	9,184

Less restricted cash	-	36,002,101
Cash and cash equivalents – unrestricted	$ 37,208,737	$ 3,370,177

In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, at the closing the Company placed $36 million in cash in escrow to indemnify Palaeontol and its affiliates 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. On September 20, 2012 the escrow period expired and the entire $36 million that was being held in escrow was released to the Company without any depletion for indemnification obligations.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

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 in Kazakhstan. 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.

On December 17, 2010 Borrower issued the Company a promissory note for $50,000 with interest rate of 18% per annum. 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. Borrower may prepay any or all accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid principal at any time without penalty. The outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest under this promissory note is due one year after the transfer.

As a result, the Company treated the loan as a promissory note receivable in its financial statements. At September 30, 2012 promissory notes receivable amounted to $220,875, with $200,000 principal amount and $20,875 representing the amount of interest accrued.

Because as of September 30, 2012 the initial advance of $200,000 plus interest is in default, the Company created a 100% provision for the outstanding principal and interest on the notes in the amount of $220,875. The timing of the collection of the promissory note is uncertain and the ability to collect the principal and interest in full is unlikely from either the Borrower or the Guarantor. Due to the timing uncertainty, accrual of interest income stopped in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 5 – PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS

Prepaid expenses and other assets as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were as follows:

	September 30, 2012	March 31, 2012

Advances for services	$ 536,099	$ 1,616,915
	$ 536,099	$ 1,616,915

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

On February 2, 2012 the Company entered into a Management and Services Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2012, between BMB Munai, Inc. and Lakeview International, LLC (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company engaged Lakeview International, LLC (“Lakeview”) to provide management, administrative and support personnel and services to the Company in furtherance of fulfilling its obligations pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and other activities, including the winding down of the Company’s representative office in Kazakhstan. Lakeview is a company controlled by a former Company director.

The Services Agreement commenced on February 2, 2012 and will continue through December 31, 2012, unless terminated earlier upon the written agreement of both parties. In exchange for the services under the Services Agreement, the Company paid $1,947,500 to Lakeview, which included anticipated out-of-pocket expenses required to perform the services through the term of the Agreement in the amount of $1,900,000 and a management fee of $47,500. The full amount was due and payable upon execution of the Services Agreement. The Services Agreement provides that in the event of early termination, Lakeview will be required to return to the Company any portion of the $1,900,000 that has not been paid to cover out-of-pocket expenses as of the date the Services Agreement is terminated.

From February 2, 2012 (the date the Services Agreement became effective) to September 30, 2012 the Company has accrued and expensed consulting services in the amount of $1,411,402, the remaining $536,099 has been treated as prepaid expense and will be further accrued and expensed through December 31, 2012. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, $536,099 and $1,072,197 was expensed as general and administrative expense.

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.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

The sale of Emir Oil was valued at $170 million in cash, net of $10.4 million in purchase adjustments. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company placed $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, 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. On September 20, 2012 the escrow period expired and the entire $36 million that was being held in escrow for indemnification purposes was released to the Company without any depletion.

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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

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, 2012 the $5,000,000 has been accrued and included in deferred consulting and distribution payments on the balance sheet. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, this amount was paid in full.

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of March 31, 2012 cash and cash equivalents included deposits in Kazakhstan banks in the amount $15,755, as of September 30, 2012 the Company did not have cash and cash equivalents deposited in any Kazakhstan banks. As of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 cash and cash equivalents included deposits in U.S. banks in the amount of $37,208,737 and $3,370,177, respectively. The Company’s deposits in U.S. banks are in non-FDIC insured accounts which means they 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.

Overview

As discussed in this report in Note 1 – Description of Business and Note 6 – Discontinued Operations and Sale of Emir Oil of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this report, on September 19, 2011 we sold all our interest in our wholly-owned subsidiary Emir Oil, LLP to Palaeontol, B.V. a subsidiary of MIE Holdings Corporation. Currently, we are working to (i) finalize the second cash distribution, (ii) complete the winding down of our operations in Kazakhstan, and (iii) identify new business opportunities that will allow us to take advantage of the expertise of our management staff and return additional value to our stockholders.

Historically, the assets and operations of Emir Oil have represented the major portion of our consolidated total assets and results of operations. The results of our operations, that are solely operations of BMB Munai, excluding the operations of Emir Oil, are reported and 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, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this report.

Results of Continuing Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 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, 2012 and 2011:

	For the three months ended September 30, 2012	For the three months ended September 30, 2011
Costs and Operating Expenses:
General and administrative	$ 1,006,116	$ 17,495,289
Interest expense	-	1,432,875
Amortization and depreciation	28,982	29,646
Total	$ 1,035,098	$ 18,957,810

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $1,006,116 compared to $17,495,289 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. General and administrative expenses were significantly higher during the September 30, 2011 period because of the Sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 general and administrative expenses mainly included termination payments in the total amount of $7,886,648 accrued and paid to our executive officers upon termination of their 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.

Interest Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred interest expense from continuing operations of $1,432,875. As a result of retiring our outstanding convertible notes during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we did not incur any interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Amortization and Depreciation. Amortization and depreciation expense from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 did not change significantly. 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, 2012 we recognized a loss from operations of $1,035,098 compared to a loss from operations of $18,957,810 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease in loss from continuing operations during three months ended September 30, 2012 is the result of the 96% decrease in general and administrative expenses and the 100% decrease in interest expense.

Total Other Income/Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 we recognized total other income from continuing operations of $330 compared to total other expense of $9,303 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The change from total other expense to total other income was mainly due to the fact that our exploration and production operations in Kazakhstan have ceased during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and, as a result we did not recognize any foreign exchange loss.

Loss from Continuing Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 we recognized a loss from continuing operations of $1,034,768 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $18,967,113 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. This reduction in loss from continuing operations was primarily attributable to the reductions in general and administrative expenses and interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Income from Discontinued Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 we realized no income from discontinued operations compared to $3,245,649 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. With the completion of the Sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we did not realize income from discontinued operations during the second fiscal quarter 2013, nor do we expect to 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. 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/Income. For all of the foregoing reasons, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 we incurred a net loss of $1,034,768 compared to a net loss of $142,869,235 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. With the sale of Emir Oil, we are no longer generating revenues. Therefore, we expect to continue to realize net losses in upcoming fiscal quarters.

Six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2011.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 except from oil and gas sales through Emir Oil.

Expenses

The following table presents details of our expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Interest expense	-	3,551,022
Amortization and depreciation	57,962	43,125
Total	$ 1,796,156	$ 23,274,375

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations during the six months ended September 30, 2012 were $1,738,194 compared to $19,680,228 during the six months ended September 30, 2011. This represents a 91% decrease. As noted above, during the six months ended September 30, 2011 general and administrative expenses mainly included termination payments in the total amount of $7,886,648 accrued and paid to executive officers of the Company upon termination of their 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. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2011 is associated with the Sale.

Interest Expense. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred interest expense from continuing operations of $3,551,022. As a result of retiring our outstanding convertible notes during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we incurred no interest expense during the six months ended September 30, 2012.

Amortization and Depreciation. Amortization and depreciation expense from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 did not change significantly. We anticipate amortization and depreciation expense to remain on the same level during upcoming fiscal quarters.

Loss from Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2012 we recognized a loss from continuing operations of $1,785,082 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $23,274,375 during the six months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease in loss from continuing operations during six months ended September 30, 2012 is the result of the 92% decrease in general and administrative expenses and the 100% decrease in interest expense.

Total Other Income/Expense. During the six months ended September 30, 2012 we recognized total other income from continuing operations of $11,074 compared to total other expense of $21,571 during the six months ended September 30, 2011. The change from total other expense to total other income was mainly due to the fact that our exploration and production operations in Kazakhstan have ceased during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and, as a result we did not recognize any foreign exchange loss.

Loss from Continuing Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2012 we recognized a loss from continuing operations of $1,785,082 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $23,295,946 during the six months ended September 30, 2011. This reduction in loss from continuing operations was primarily attributable to the reductions in general and administrative expenses and interest expense during the six months ended September 30, 2012.

Income from Discontinued Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2012 we realized no income from discontinued operations compared to $11,899,714 during the six months ended September 30, 2011. With the completion of the Sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 we did not realize income from discontinued operations during the six months ended September 30, 2012, nor do we expect to realize income from discontinued operations in future periods.

Loss on Sale of Emir Oil. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 we incurred a loss on the Sale in the amount of $127,147,771. 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/Income. For all of the foregoing reasons, during the six months ended September 30, 2012 we incurred a net loss of $1,785,082 compared to a net loss of $138,544,003 for the six months ended September 30, 2011. With the sale of Emir Oil, we are no longer generating revenues. Therefore, we expect to continue to realize net losses in upcoming fiscal quarters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As noted throughout this report, in September 2011 we completed the sale of our wholly-owned operating subsidiary Emir Oil. As a condition to the sale, we were required to place $36 million of the sale proceeds into escrow for a period of twelve months from the date of closing to indemnify Palaeontol.

To assist us in funding our indemnification obligations, Boris Cherdabayev, the chairman of our board of directors, and Toleush Tolmakov, a former executive officer of the Company, agreed to contribute into the escrow (to form part of the $36 million in escrow funds) the entirety of the cash distribution, approximately $13 million, they otherwise would have received from us in the initial stockholder distribution. As of the initial distribution record date Mr. Cherdabayev was the record or beneficial holder of 6,248,727 shares of our common stock and Mr. Tolmakov was the record or beneficial holder of 6,251,960 shares of our common stock. As a result these individuals agreed to defer until the anticipated second stockholder distribution, if any, their portion of the initial stockholder distribution and 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.

To further fund the escrow and increase the amount of the initial distribution available to Company stockholders, Mr. Cherdabayev also agreed to defer until twelve months following the closing a $5 million extraordinary event payment owed to him at the closing under the terms of his consulting agreement with the Company.

On September 20, 2012 the escrow period expired and the entire $36 million being held in escrow for indemnification purposes was released to the Company. On October 30, 2012 the Company declared and made a second cash distribution of $0.30 per share to common stockholders of record on October 15, 2012, the top end of the range per share contemplated by the Company when the Sale was initially announced. The second cash distribution amount was determined after giving effect to required fund allocations to Messrs. Cherdabayev and Tolmakov, actual costs incurred and other factors.

We are currently working to finalize the second cash distribution and complete the winding down of our operations in Kazakhstan. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will continue our efforts to identify new business opportunities that will allow us to capitalize on the expertise of the Company’s management staff and return additional value to our stockholders.

We do not currently generate revenue and do not anticipate generating revenue until such time as we are able to identify and exploit a new business opportunity. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify or exploit any new business opportunity, or that we will have the funds then available to us that we will enable us to take advantage of any such opportunity. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows

During the six months ended September 30, 2012, cash was primarily used to distribute the cash to our shareholders and settle the accounts payable of the Almaty office. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

	Three months ended September 30, 2012	Three months ended September 30, 2011

Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities	$ (370,284)	$ 20,731,051
Net cash provided by investing activities	$ -	$ 136,255,135
Net cash used in financing activities	$ (1,793,257)	$ (66,267,201)

NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS	$ (2,163,541)	$ 90,718,985
NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS–CONTINUING OPERATIONS	$ (2,163,541)	$ 87,401,702
NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS–DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	$ -	$ 3,317,283

Our principal source of liquidity during the six months ended September 30, 2012 was cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2012 cash and cash equivalents from continuing and discontinued operations totaled to approximately $39.4 million. At September 30, 2012 cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations totaled to approximately $37.2 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.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

The following table lists our significant commitments at September 30, 2012, excluding current liabilities as listed on our condensed consolidated balance sheet:

	Payments Due By Period
Contractual obligations	Total	Less than 1 year	2-3 years	4-5 years	After 5 years
Initial cash distribution payable(1)	$ 13,223,299	$13,223,299	$ -	$ -	$ -
