JMG Exploration, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principal Business Activities
Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements of JMG Exploration, Inc. (“JMG”, or the “Company”), a development stage company, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011 was derived from the audited financial statements included in Form 8-K/A filed October 15, 2012. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
JMG’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ad-Vantage Networks, Inc. (“Ad-Vantage”), is a development stage company engaged in digital advertising technology services. Ad-Vantage was formed as a Delaware Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) on February 23, 2010 and on July 7, 2010 was converted to a Delaware Corporation.
On July 6, 2010, Ad-Vantage completed a reorganization in which the predecessor to the Company, Ad-Vantage Networks, LLC, was converted into Ad-Vantage (the “Conversion”). As part of the Conversion, Ad-Vantage issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
Liquidity
The Company faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging intellectual technology companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party vendors and manufacturers.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,439,476 and had insufficient working capital to fund development of our technology. In November 2012 (Note 6) the Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 pursuant to the issuance of promissory notes. Absent the exercise of outstanding warrants or securing additional working capital from other sources, the Company may be forced to scale back its product development efforts.
Merger with Ad-Vantage
On August 31, 2012, Ad-Vantage consummated a reverse triangular merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of JMG pursuant to which Ad-Vantage became the surviving entity of the Merger and Ad-Vantage became a wholly owned subsidiary of JMG. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and the accompanying financial statements are those of Ad-Vantage. As required by accounting guidance, authorized shares, issued and outstanding shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated throughout these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to reflect JMG’s capital structure.
JMG did not have any ongoing business operations. Assets consisting primarily of cash and oil and gas properties totaling $1,522,737 were acquired and certain current liabilities of $401,864 were assumed from JMG. Because JMG had no operations and only net monetary assets, the Reverse Triangular Merger
7
is being treated as a capital transaction, whereby Ad-Vantage Networks, Inc. acquired the net monetary assets of JMG, accompanied by a recapitalization of Ad-Vantage Networks. Inc. As such, no fair value adjustments were necessary for any of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed.
The net equity acquired from JMG as the result of the Merger was $1,054,042 and was recorded as an addition to additional paid in capital. Pursuant to and in connection with the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and the Merger:
·
JMG issued 169,973.88 shares of Class M Preferred Stock (the “Class M Preferred”), a newly authorized class of JMG preferred stock, as consideration for the Merger. Each issued and outstanding share of Ad-Vantage common stock and Ad-Vantage preferred stock (collectively, “Ad-Vantage Capital Stock”) was exchanged for 0.01 fully paid and nonassessable share of Class M Preferred (the “Exchange Ratio”).
·
JMG covenanted, as soon as reasonably practicable following the consummation of the Merger and subject to compliance with applicable law, to (i) cause its authorized number of shares of common stock to be increased from 25,000,000 to 100,000,000 (the “Authorized Share Increase”) and (ii) effect a one-for-two reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
·
Upon the consummation of the Authorized Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of Class M Preferred issued in exchange for the shares of Ad-Vantage Capital Stock shall automatically convert (the “Automatic Conversion”) into shares of JMG’s common stock, at the ratio of 100 shares of common stock for each share of Class M Preferred (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Automatic Conversion is currently expected to occur in December, 2012.
·
After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the Automatic Conversion, JMG will have approximately 19,726,603 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 16,997,388 shares will have been issued (giving effect to the Automatic Conversion) to complete the Merger.
·
All issued and outstanding options to acquire shares of Ad-Vantage common stock (collectively, “Ad-Vantage Options”) were converted into options to acquire shares of Class M Preferred (collectively, “Parent Class M Preferred Stock Options”) at the Exchange Ratio, with such Class M Preferred Stock Options having the same terms and being subject to the same conditions as the Ad-Vantage Options, provided, however, that upon the consummation of the Authorized Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split all of the Class M Preferred Stock Options shall, without the requirement of any further action, convert into options for shares of JMG common stock, with such conversion occurring at the Conversion Ratio. No Ad-Vantage Option shall have accelerated vesting in connection with the Merger.
·
JMG will extend the term of its three classes of warrants with exercise prices, respectively, of $8.50, $10.00, and $12.00 (such prices giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) for a period of 18 months from the consummation of the Merger.
·
Each of those persons serving prior to the Merger as a director of JMG resigned from the Board, with such resignations becoming effective as of September 16, 2012 (upon expiration of the applicable waiting period in compliance with the provisions of Rule 14f-1 (“Rule 14f-1”) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).
·
Each of David S. Grant and Sanjeev Kuwadekar became directors of JMG, effective upon the consummation of the Merger, and each of Donald Wells, Ed Cerkovnik and Robert Burg became directors of JMG as of September 16, 2102 upon expiration of the applicable waiting period in compliance with the provisions of Rule 14f-1.
·
Those persons serving as officers of JMG prior to the Merger resigned upon the consummation of the Merger and those persons serving as officers of Ad-Vantage became officers of JMG.
8
·
The Merger resulted in the pre-Merger stockholders of JMG owning approximately 13.8% of Ad-Vantage and the Ad-Vantage Stockholders, as a group, owning the balance.
·
Certain members of the Ad-Vantage executive team agreed to lock-up, for a period of 12 months following the closing of the Merger, the shares of JMG’s Class M Preferred to be received by them in connection with the Merger, and the shares of JMG’s common stock which those shares of Class M Preferred will convert into at the Automatic Conversion.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim (unaudited) Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. The accounting policies used in preparing these interim financial statements is the same as those for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investment with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash Concentration
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Fair value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair values of all financial instruments on the Company's balance sheets were determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Fair value is described as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between informed willing parties, other than a forced liquidation. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company does not have any off balance sheet financial instruments.
Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other current assets and liabilities are reported on the balance sheet at carrying value which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
9
The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt and approximates carrying value.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2012, the Company had all of its cash and cash equivalents with two banking institutions. The company partially mitigates the concentration risk associated with cash deposits by only depositing material amounts of funds with major banking institutions.
Interest rate risk
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness that bears interest.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the United States dollar and the foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results. All of the Company’s business is conducted with US dollars.
The Company has no financial assets that are subject to fair value measurement as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the three to seven year estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets’ useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When assets are placed into service, we make estimates with respect to their useful lives that we believe are reasonable. However, factors such as competition, regulation, or environmental matters could cause us to change our estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation and depletion. We evaluate long-lived assets for potential impairment by identifying whether indicators of impairment exist and, if so, assessing whether the long-lived assets are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of impairment loss, if any, to be recorded is equal to the amount by which a long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Estimates of future discounted cash flows and fair values of assets require subjective assumptions with regard to future operating results and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends, and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
Patents
Legal costs, patent registration fees, and models and drawings required for filing patent applications are capitalized if they relate to commercially viable technologies. Commercially viable technologies are those technologies that are projected to generate future positive cash flows in the near term. Legal costs
10
associated with applications that are not determined to be commercially viable are expensed as incurred. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. Legal fees from the costs incurred in successful defense to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patents are capitalized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue from ads placed on web pages viewed on internet access providers’ proprietary networks. Revenues are earned when end users view the advertisements. The Company accrues any revenue sharing percentage with the network provider at the same time.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.
The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
With respect to uncertain tax positions, the Company would recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company’s reassessment of its tax positions did not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. There were no advertising costs incurred during 2011 and 2010. Advertising costs for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 (unaudited) and for the period from February 23, 2012 (Date of Inception) to September 30, 2012 (unaudited) were as follows:
| | | | | |
| Three month period ended September 30, | Nine month period ended September 30, | From February 23, 2010 (Inception) through September 30, |
| 2012 | 2011 | 2012 | 2011 | 2012 |
Advertising Costs | $ 18,810 | $ - | $ 40,239 | $ - | $ 40,239 |
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 (unaudited) and for the period from February 23, 2010 (Date of Inception) to September 30, 2012 (unaudited) were as follows.
| | | | | |
| Three month period ended September 30, | Nine month period ended September 30, | From February 23, 2010 (Inception) through September 30, |
| 2012 | 2011 | 2012 | 2011 | 2012 |
Research and development costs | $ 41,676 | $ 34,557 | $ 137,360 | $ 94,384 | $ 349,658 |
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for the cost of Director/employee/adviser services received in exchange for the award of common stock options or warrants based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option grant or warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected life assumption is based on the expected life assumptions of similar entities. Expected volatility is based on actual share price volatility of the Company’s stock of the preceding twelve months. The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods as options vest, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense as a component of salary and other compensation expenses in the statements of operations as follows:
| | | | | |
| (Unaudited) Three month period ended September 30, | (Unaudited) Nine month period ended September 30, | From February 23, 2010 (Inception) through September 30, |
| 2012 | 2011 | 2012 | 2011 | 2012 |
Salary and other compensation expense | $ 2,684,115 | $ 5,223 | $ 2,714,207 | $ 14,155 | $ 2,740,396 |
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
·
Level 1 – Observable inputs – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
·
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data; and
·
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs – includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2011-04”), which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our financial statements or disclosures.
Management evaluates events occurring to the date of the financial statements in determining the accounting for and disclosure of transactions and events that affect the financial statements. Subsequent
12
events have been evaluated through November 16, 2012, which is the date financial statements were available to be issued.

The total warrants outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split will be 2,031,276.
Options
We assumed the option plan of Ad-Vantage, under which options for the purchase of 3,729,916 shares of Ad-Vantage common stock were outstanding at the closing of the Merger (the “Outstanding Ad-Vantage Options”). The Outstanding Ad-Vantage Options were converted into options to purchase 37,299.16 shares of Class M Preferred (which represents 3,729,916 shares of the Company’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Automatic Conversion). The Outstanding Ad-Vantage Options expire in 2021 and 2022. At the closing of the Merger, and as of the date of this report, there were 110,000 Options outstanding to purchase the Company’s Common Stock (which will represent 55,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock after consummation of the Reverse Stock Split).
The Ad-Vantage Board of Directors adopted the Ad-Vantage Plan in September 2010. The Ad-Vantage Plan provided long-term incentives to employees, members of the Board, and advisers and consultants of the Company who were able to contribute towards the creation of or have created stockholder value by providing them stock options and other stock and cash incentives. Provisions such as vesting, repurchase and exercise conditions and limitations were determined by the Ad-Vantage Board of Directors on the grant date. The total number of shares that could be issued pursuant to the Ad-Vantage Plan could not exceed 1,250,000 shares, subject to adjustment in the event of certain recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar transactions..
As of September 30, 2012, 1,115,521 options were granted under the Ad-Vantage Plan, and 929,917 remained outstanding at the time of the Merger, at which time they were exchanged for 92,991.70 Class M Preferred Options. No options will be granted under the Ad-Vantage Plan following the Merger.
No common stock options were granted under the Company’s premerger option plan (JMG Exploration, Inc. Equity Compensation Plan- the “JMG Plan”) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. A total of 110,000 common stock options were outstanding at JMG prior to the merger with Ad-Vantage., These options are exercisable at $0.22 per share and expire on January 26, 2015. Options granted by the Company following the Merger will be granted under the JMG Plan.
In October 2012, 85,000 JMG Common Stock Options were exercised providing proceeds of $18,700. In October, 2012, common stock options were issued the JMG Plan to an employee to purchase 780,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $3.98 per share (which will represent 390,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock after consummation of the Reverse Stock Split).
15
Class M Preferred Stock options
Upon the merger, all issued and outstanding options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of Ad-Vantage common stock (collectively, “Ad-Vantage Options”) were converted into options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Class M Preferred (collectively, “Parent Class M Preferred Stock Options”) at the Exchange Ratio, with such Class M Preferred Stock Options having the same terms and being subject to the same conditions as the Ad-Vantage Options, provided, however, that upon the consummation of the Authorized Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split all of the Class M Preferred Stock Options shall, without the requirement of any further action, convert into options for shares of JMG common stock, with such conversion occurring at the Conversion Ratio. No Ad-Vantage Option has accelerated vesting in connection with the Merger.
In August 2012, Ad-Vantage issued a total of 330,000 stock options under the Ad-Vantage 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Ad-Vantage Plan”). The options vest principally over a four year period and are exercisable at $1.14 per share. These stock options were converted into options to purchase 3,300 shares of Class M Preferred (which represents 330,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Automatic Conversion). Ad-Vantage also issued 2,799,999 non-qualified stock options outside the Ad-Vantage Plan to be allocated among senior management, fully vesting at the closing of the Merger with JMG and exercisable at $1.14 per share . These stock options were converted into options to purchase 27,999.99 shares of Class M Preferred (which represents 2,799,999 shares of the Company’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Automatic Conversion). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Ad-Vantage granted 518,837 (5,188.37 of Class M Preferred) stock options under the Ad-Vantage Plan to certain employees, directors, and advisers, respectively. A total of 150,000 (1,500 of Class M Preferred) options vest monthly over a 24 month period and 368,837 (3,688.37 Class M Preferred) options vest one quarter (1/4) after one year and the balance over a 36 month period.

The exercise price and vesting period of each stock option is specified by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The stock options expire seven years after the grant date, except for the stock options vesting upon the Merger, which expire six years after the vesting date.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected life assumption is based on the expected life assumptions of similar entities. Expected volatility is based on actual share price volatility of similar companies of the preceding twelve months. The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an expected term ranging from 2.5 to 5 years used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods as options vest, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company experienced no forfeitures. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2012 and 2011 amounted to $0.327 and $0.169 per option, respectively, using the Black Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions:

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of California. There are currently no income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions since December 31, 2010 is the initial tax filing period.
The Company provides deferred income taxes for differences between the tax reporting bases and the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
9. Related Party Transactions
The Company utilizes the programming services of a company managed by its Chief Technology Officer. Payments to this company were $135,173 and $100,046 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively.
In March 2011, the Company entered into a lending facility that provides for advances of up to $500,000 with interest at 12% per annum payable monthly. The promissory note was provided by an investor in Ad-Vantage’s preferred stock. The lending facility matures in 36 months and any principal balance is due and payable 90 days after the note matures and the Company has received written notice of demand for payment. A total of $80,000 was borrowed under this promissory note on September 1, 2011 and an additional $30,000 on October 3, 2011. All outstanding balances under this facility were paid in full on November 1, 2011.
On July 12, 2012, Ad-Vantage borrowed $1,400,000 from JMG in anticipation of the Merger of the two companies pursuant to a senior secured promissory note. The note was secured by a lien on all assets of the Company, bears interest at 10% per annum and was due and payable in full on or before the earliest of: (a) the Closing Date of the Merger, (b) January 9, 2014 and (c) the date of any default as specified by the note. The note was converted on September 1, 2012 at the time of the Merger between the two companies into an intra-company obligation that eliminates in consolidation.
10. Discontinued Operations
In connection with the Merger between JMG and Ad-Vantage, the Company agreed to, as soon as practicable after the Closing, sell all of the “Oil and Gas Properties” identified in the Company’s most recent 10-K filed with the SEC (the “O&G Operations” and the “O&G Sale”) or at its option cause the O&G Operations to be spun off for the benefit of the Company’s pre-Merger stockholders as soon as may be practicable following completion of the Merger (the “O&G Spinoff”).
The Board of Directors is still reviewing whether to proceed with an O&G Sale or an O&G Spinoff. If the Board of Directors elects to sell the O&G Operations, all net proceeds from such sale shall be distributed pro-rata to the Company’s pre-Merger stockholders and not to any of the stockholders of Ad-Vantage (unless, and in such event solely to the extent that such stockholders were also pre-Merger stockholders of the Company (the “Pre-Merger Stockholders”)). If the Board of Directors elects to proceed with the O&G Spinoff the Board of Directors will create a new entity to own and operate the current oil and gas operations (“New JMG”) and will spinoff New JMG shares of common stock to the Pre-Merger Stockholders.

We closed three private placements in July 2010 totaling $550,000, in November 2011 for $999,999 and in April 2012 for $602,000. On August 31, 2012, The Company consummated a reverse triangular merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of JMG Exploration, Inc. (“JMG”) pursuant to which the Company became the surviving entity of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of JMG. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and the accompanying financial statements are those of Ad-Vantage. As required by accounting guidance, authorized shares, issued and outstanding
20
shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated throughout these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to reflect JMG’s capital structure.
