NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BMB Munai, Inc. (the “Company” or “BMB Munai”) 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 through its then wholly-owned subsidiary Emir Oil LLP (“Emir Oil”).

On September 19, 2011 the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in Emir Oil (the “Sale”).

Since September 2011 the Company’s principal business operations have been focused on satisfying its post-closing undertakings in connection with the Sale, which were completed in September 2012, winding down its operations in Kazakhstan and exploring opportunities to return additional value to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company does not anticipate generating revenue unless it is able to identify and exploit a new business opportunity. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to identify or exploit a new business opportunity. Further, no assurance can be given that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to investigate new business opportunities for an indefinite period of time, that the Company will have funds available to it that would enable it to take advantage of such opportunity should one be identified or that management or the board of directors will be financially able to continue providing services to the Company indefinitely without compensation. These factors, coupled with the fact that the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going concern

As a result of the Sale, the Company has no subsidiaries and no continuing operations that generate positive cash flow and the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to continue its efforts to reduce expenses to preserve the minimal funds it has available for as long as possible.

Subsequent event

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has found no subsequent events to report.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 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 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.

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.

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.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

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.

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 June 30, 2015 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

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate, each reporting period, whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating this new standard and after adoption, we will incorporate this guidance in our assessment of going concern.

NOTE 3 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 cash and cash equivalents included deposits in U.S. banks in the amount of $8,616,248 and $8,624,986, 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.

NOTE 4 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Shareholder distributions

On October 24, 2011 the Company made an initial cash distribution of $1.04 per share to common stockholders of record on October 10, 2011 from the proceeds of the Sale. The total amount calculated for this distribution to common stockholders was $58,019,056.

Following the completion of its post-closing obligations in connection with the Sale, 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 total amount calculated for this distribution to common stockholders was $16,736,266.

As of June 30, 2015 the amount paid from the first distribution was $51,398,433 with $6,620,623 payable, and the amount paid from the second distribution was $14,823,323 with $1,912,943 payable. These payables have been accrued and included in deferred distribution payments on the balance sheet.

NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the following data:

	Three months ended
	June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014

Net loss	$	(10,480)	$	(28,701)

Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding		55,787,554		55,787,554

Basic loss per common share	$	(0.00)	$	(0.00)

As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 there were no options, warrants, or restricted stock grants outstanding.

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

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our results of operations and our present financial condition. Our unaudited condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material and this document should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. For this purpose any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking, including, but not limited to, our ability to identify or pursue other opportunities, our results of operations, cash flows, capital resources and liquidity, and future actions, intentions, plans, strategies and objectives. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “budget,” “plan,” “forecast,” “predict,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, availability of business opportunities, the continued existence of the corporation, sufficiency of working capital, capital resources and liquidity and other factors detailed herein and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.

Forward-looking statements are predictions and not guarantees of future performance or events. Forward-looking statements are based on current financial and economic information, which we have assessed but which by its nature is dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly abrupt changes. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements. We hereby qualify all our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations all references to dollar amounts ($) refers to U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

As discussed in Note 1 – Description of Business of the notes to our unaudited condensed financial statements accompanying this report, on September 19, 2011 we sold all our interest in our oil and natural gas exploration and production assets with the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary Emir Oil LLP (the “Sale”). Since September 2011 we have been working to complete the Sale, wind down our operations in Kazakhstan, and identify new business opportunities that will allow us to return additional value to our stockholders.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements accompanying this report.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $11,457 compared to $30,328 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. General and administrative expenses were lower during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 because we incurred lower legal and accounting and audit related expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Loss from Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 we recognized a loss from operations of $11,457 compared to a loss from operations of $30,328 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease in loss from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2015 is the result of the 62% decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Total Other Income. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 we recognized total other income of $977 compared to total other income of $1,627 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease resulted from lower interest income on our cash balances.

Net Loss. For the reasons discussed above, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 we realized a net loss of $10,480 compared to a net loss of $28,701 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Because we have no revenue, we expect to continue to realize net losses in upcoming fiscal periods unless we are able to identify and successfully exploit a new business opportunity or our board of directors determines it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to dissolve the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As noted throughout this report, in September 2011 we completed the sale of our oil and natural gas exploration and production assets. In September 2012 we completed our post-closing obligations in connection with the Sale. We continue our efforts to identify new business opportunities that will allow us to return additional value to our stockholders, if possible, but we have limited funds remaining to continue such efforts. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue such efforts or that, at some point, our management and board of directors will not determine that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to dissolve the Company.

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, if ever. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in this endeavor, that we will have the sufficient funds to continue to look for a new business opportunity, that we will have funds then available to us to take advantage of any such opportunity if one is identified, that management and the board of directors will be financially able to continue providing services to the Company without compensation while we continue searching for a business opportunity to exploit or that our management and board of directors will not, at some point, determine it to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to dissolve the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern or to return any additional value to our stockholders.

Cash Flows

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 cash was primarily used to pay for current expenses. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

	Three months ended June 30, 2015		Three months ended June 30, 2014

Net cash used in operating activities	$	(4,399)	$	(1,361)
Net cash provided by investing activities	$	-	$	-
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(4,339)	$	-

NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS	$	(8,738)	$	(1,361)

Our principal source of liquidity during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2015 cash and cash equivalents totaled $8,624,986. At June 30, 2015 cash and cash equivalents totaled $8,616,248. Of this amount $8,533,566 is held for distribution to shareholders who have not yet claimed their distributions pursuant to the first and/or second stockholder distributions as reflected in the table of Contractual Obligations and Contingencies below.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

The following table lists our significant commitments at June 30, 2015, excluding current liabilities as listed on our condensed 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)	$	6,620,623	$	6,620,623	$	-	$	-	$	-
Second cash distribution payable(1)		1,912,943		1,912,943		-		-		-

(1)	See Note 4 – Shareholders’ Equity for additional information regarding the initial cash distribution payable and the second cash distribution payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2015 we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Inflation

As we have no operations, we believe inflation does not currently impact us significantly.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Because we are a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2015 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
