NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The corporation now known as BMB Munai, Inc., (“BMB Munai” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Utah in July 1981. On February 7, 1994, the corporation changed its name to InterUnion Financial Corporation (“InterUnion”) and its domicile to Delaware. BMB Holding, Inc. (“BMB Holding”) was incorporated on May 6, 2003 for the purpose of acquiring and developing oil and gas fields in the Republic of Kazakhstan. On November 26, 2003, InterUnion executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with BMB Holding. As a result of the merger, the shareholders of BMB Holding obtained control of the corporation. BMB Holding was treated as the acquiror for accounting purposes. A new board of directors was elected that was comprised primarily of the former directors of BMB Holding and the name of the corporation was changed to BMB Munai, Inc.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented are a continuation of BMB Holding, and not those of InterUnion Financial Corporation, and the capital structure of the Company is now different from that appearing in the historical financial statements of InterUnion Financial Corporation due to the effects of the recapitalization.

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

From inception (May 6, 2003) through January 1, 2006 the Company had minimal operations and was considered to be in the development stage. The Company began generating significant revenues in January 2006 and is no longer in the development stage.

Currently the Company has completed twenty wells with an additional four wells in progress. As discussed in more detail in Note 2, the Company engages in exploration of its licensed territory pursuant to an exploration license and has not yet applied for or been granted a commercial production license.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial information included herein is unaudited, except for the balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, which is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008. However, such information includes all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for an entire year.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2008 on Form 10-K, as amended.

The accounting principles applied are consistent with those as set out in the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2008.

Basis of consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements present the consolidated results of BMB Munai, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Emir Oil LLP (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of 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 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Accounts Receivable

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. Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are from purchasers of oil and gas. Oil and gas sales are generally unsecured. The Company has not had any significant credit losses in the past and believes its accounts receivable are fully collectable. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided.

Licences and contracts

Emir Oil LLP is the operator of the Company’s oil and gas fields in Western Kazakhstan. The Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the “Government”) initially issued the license to Zhanaozen Repair and Mechanical Plant on April 30, 1999 to explore the Aksaz, Dolinnoe and Emir oil and gas  fields (the “ADE

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

Block” or the “ADE Fields”). On June 9, 2000, the contract for exploration of the Aksaz, Dolinnoe and Emir oil and gas fields was entered into between the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Investments and the Zhanaozen Repair and Mechanical Plant. On September 23, 2002, the contract was assigned to Emir Oil LLP. On September 10, 2004 the Government extended the term of the Contract for exploration and License from five years to seven years through July 9, 2007. On February 27, 2007, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan (“MEMR”) granted a second extension of the Company’s exploration contract. Under the terms of the contract extension, the exploration period was extended to July 2009 over the entire exploration contract territory. On December 7, 2004 the Government assigned to Emir Oil LLP exclusive right to explore an additional 260 square kilometers of land adjacent to the ADE Block, which is referred to as the “Extended Territory.” The Extended Territory includes the Kariman, Yessen and Borly oil and gas fields and is governed by the terms of the Company’s original contract. On June 24, 2008 the MEMR agreed to extend the exploration stage of the Company’s contract from July 2009 to January 2013 in order to permit the Company to conduct additional exploration drilling and testing activities within the Aksaz-Dolinnoe-Emir-Yessen-Kariman-Borly block.

To move from the exploration stage to the commercial production stage, the Company must apply for and be granted a commercial production contract. The Company is legally entitled to apply for a commercial production contract and has an exclusive right to negotiate this Contract. The Government is obligated to conduct these negotiations under the Law of Petroleum in Kazakhstan. If the Company does not move from the exploration stage to the commercial production stage, it has the right to produce and sell oil, including export oil, under the Law of Petroleum for the term of its existing contract.

Major Customers

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, sales to one customer represented 93% and 100% of total sales, respectively. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, this customer made up 100% of accounts receivable. The loss of this foregoing customer could have a material adverse affect on the Company, although there is an available market for the Company’s crude oil and natural gas production from other purchasers.

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

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction are included as an exchange gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for options granted to non-employees at their fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment and EITF Abstracts Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Under SFAS No. 123R, 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 the private equity placement transactions have been offset to the proceeds as a cost of capital. Stock options and stocks granted to other non-employees are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has a stock option plan as described in Note 11 Compensation expense for options and stocks granted to employees is determined based on their fair values at the time of grant, the cost of which is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the vesting periods of the respective options.

Share-based compensation incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $11,295,389 and $576,957, respectively.

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 is built that will increase transportation capacity to the world markets; however, there is no assurance that this will happen in the near future.

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.

10

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

Export duty

The formula for determining the amount of the crude oil export duty is based on a sliding scale that is tied to several factors, including the world market price for oil. The amount of the export duty can change with fluctuations in world oil prices. The export duty fees are expensed as incurred and are classified as costs and operating expenses. 

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the liability method, the effect on previously recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period in which the change is enacted.

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.

Prepaid expenses and other assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets are stated at their net realizable values after deducting provisions for uncollectible amounts. Such provisions reflect either specific cases or estimates based on evidence of collectability. The fair value of prepaid expense and other asset accounts approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturity.

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.

11

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

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 June 30, 2008 and no provision for obsolete inventory has been provided.

Oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

Under full cost accounting rules, the net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties shall not exceed an amount equal to the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, including the use of oil and gas prices as of the end of the period.

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 impairments of 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.

12

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

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

Depletion of producing properties is computed using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves.

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 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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

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:

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

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.

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.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

Convertible notes payable issue costs

In accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables”, 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 follows the guidance in the EITF 95-13 “Classification of Debt Issue Costs in the Statement of Cash Flows” and classifies cash payments for bond issue costs as a financing activity, where not capitalized as part of oil and gas properties.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash includes funds deposited in a Kazakhstan bank and is restricted to meet possible environmental obligations according to the regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Functional currency

The Company makes its principal investing and financing transactions in U.S. Dollars and the United States 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.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability when the insurance enterprise expects, based on the present value of expected net cash outflows to be paid under the insurance contract discounted using a risk-free rate, that a claim loss will exceed the unearned premium revenue. That approach is similar to the recognition approach for some liabilities for future policy benefits relating to a long-duration insurance contract in Statement 60. An insurance enterprise is required to measure the claim liability equal to the present value of expected net cash outflows. Expected net cash outflows are probability-weighted cash flows that reflect the likelihood of all possible outcomes for payments by the insurance enterprise under the insurance contract. Under this Statement, the expected net cash outflows are developed using the insurance enterprise’s own assumptions about the likelihood

JUNE 30, 2008

of all possible outcomes based on all information available to the insurance enterprise (including relevant market information). An insurance enterprise is required to provide expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. Those disclosures would focus, in part, on the information included in the risk-management activities used by the insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, including (1) the groupings or categories used to track insured financial obligations with credit deterioration, (2) the insurance enterprise’s policies for placing an insured financial obligation in and monitoring each grouping or category, and (3) financial information about the insured financial obligations included within those groupings and categories. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not anticipate this Statement will impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The Board does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice. This Statement is effective after 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendment to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not anticipate this Statement will impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133”. This Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entity’s liquidity from using derivatives. This Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statements locate important information about derivative instruments. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years and interim periods

beginning after November 15, 2008. Management does not anticipate this Statement will impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value; entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not anticipate this Statement will impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a revision of Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations”. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not anticipate this Statement will impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not anticipate this Statement will impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 which extended the effective date for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

VAT charged to the Company is recoverable in future periods as either cash refunds or offsets against the Company's fiscal obligations, including future income tax liabilities. Management cannot estimate which part of this asset will be realized in the current year because in order to return funds or offset this tax with other taxes a tax examination must be performed by local Kazakhstan tax authorities. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 the Company received refunds of VAT in the amount of $1,069,618.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On July 16, 2007 the Company completed the private placement of $60 million in principal amount of 5.0% convertible senior notes due 2012 (“Notes”) to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable in each country where the placement took place.

The Notes carry a 5% coupon and have a yield to maturity of 6.25%. Interest is paid at a rate of 5.0% per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on January 13 and July 13 of each year.

The Notes are convertible into the Company’s common shares. The initial conversion price was set at $7.2094 per share, subject to customary adjustments in certain circumstances, including but not limited to, changes of control and certain future  equity financings.

If a change of control event occurs, the conversion price in respect of a conversion date that occurs after the date on which notice of such change in control event is given by the Company, but on or prior to the 60th day following the date of such notice, shall become the product of (1) the conversion price that would otherwise apply on such conversion date in the absence of a change of control event and (2) the percentage determined in accordance with the following:

NOTE 12 – REVENUES

The Company exports oil for sale to the world markets via the Aktau sea port. Sales prices at the port locations are based on the average quoted Brent crude oil price from Platt's Crude Oil Marketwire for the three days following the bill of lading date less discount for transportation expenses, freight charges and other expenses borne by the customer.

Since July 2007, the Company’s production volume has exceeded its export quota. The Company has been selling this excess production to the domestic market in Kazakhstan. Oil prices in the domestic market are regulated by the government of Kazakhstan. Historic and current sales prices in the domestic market have and currently are significantly lower than the prevailing world market price.

NOTE 13 – EXPORT DUTY

On April 18, 2008 the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan introduced an export duty on several products (including crude oil). The Company became subject to the duty beginning in June 2008. The export duty for June 2008 amounted to $1,352,917, which is being reported as a part of operating expenses. The formula for determining the amount of the crude oil export duty is based on a sliding scale that is tied to several factors, including the world market price for oil. The amount of export duty can change with fluctuations in world oil prices. The Company anticipates that the accrual of export duty in future fiscal quarters will lead to a significant increase in operating expenses.

NOTE 14 - CONSULTING EXPENSES

On November 19, 2007 the Company entered into the consulting agreement with Caspian Energy Consulting Ltd (“Consultant”). Upon the execution of the consulting agreement, the Company paid the consultant $1,000,000. The consulting agreement also provided that in the event the Consultant was successful in negotiating an extension of the term of the Company’s existing exploration contract beyond July 2009, the Company would issue 500,000 common shares for each additional year of exploration status extension granted beyond July 2009.

On June 24, 2008, the Company was granted an extension of its existing exploration contract from July 2009 to January 2013. The compensation expenses for consulting services were recorded in the amount of $11,727,500, which represents $1,000,000 paid upon the execution of consulting agreement and non-cash share based compensation in the amount of $10,727,500 as the successful fee for extension of time period for exploration. The share based compensation represents 1,750,000 (500,000 shares for each additional year of exploration status extension) valued at $6.13 per share which was the closing market price of Company’s shares on June 24, 2008.

NOTE 15 – DISGORGEMENT FUNDS RECEIVED

In June 2008 the Company received a letter from a shareholder of the Company stating that the shareholder was returning realized profits from their trades of shares of the Company’s common stock during the six month period preceding May 22, 2008 (the “Timeframe”). The shareholder also stated in the letter that during this Timeframe the shareholder was subject to Section 16 of the United States Security Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) because they owned more than 10% of the shares of Company common stock. As such, the shareholder decided to voluntarily comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act by returning the realized profits to the Company in the amount of $1,650,293, (the “Disgorgement Amount”) which is net of amounts paid for brokerage commissions on each of the executed trades during the Timeframe. The Company had received the Disgorgement Amount in full before June 30, 2008.

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s consolidated pre-tax income is comprised primarily from operations in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Pre-tax losses from United States operations are also included in consolidated pre-tax income.

According to the Exploration Contract in the Republic of Kazakhstan, for income tax purposes the Company can capitalize the exploration and development costs and deduct all revenues received during the exploration stage to calculate taxable income. Therefore, the Exploration Contract allows the Company to be exempt from Kazakhstan corporate income tax for the period of the exploration phase.

Earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, since acquisition, have been undistributed. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the Republic of Kazakhstan. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits may be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability.

No provision for income taxes has been recorded by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Consulting Agreement

In November 2007 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Caspian Energy Consulting Ltd. (“Consultant”). The consulting agreement provides that in the event the Consultant is successful in execution and delivery to the Company of a new exploration contract for a new contract territory, the Company will pay the amount of $4,000,000. The consulting agreement shall remain in force until terminated by either party. As of June 30, 2008 the Consultant has not obtained a new exploration contract for a new contract territory and no payment was due as of June 30, 2008.

Historical Investments by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan made historical investments in the ADE Block and the Extended Territory of $5,994,200 and $5,350,680, respectively. When and if, the Company applies for and, when and if, it is granted commercial production rights for the ADE Block and Extended Territory, the Company will be required to begin repaying these historical investments to the Government. The terms of repayment will be negotiated at the time the Company is granted commercial production rights.

Capital Commitments

Prior to the extension of the exploration period granted to Emir Oil LLP in June 2008, the terms of its subsurface exploration contract, required Emir Oil to spend a total of $48.8 million in exploration activities on the ADE Block and the Extended Territory through July 2009. Through June 30, 2008 the Company had spent a total of $219.8 million in exploration activities.

In connection with the extension granted in June 2008, the Company’s capital expenditure requirements have been revised. To retain its rights under the contract, the Company must spend $8.5 million by July 9, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had already satisfied this obligation. From July 9, 2009 through January 9, 2010 the Company must spend $6.9 million. The Company must spend an additional $12.7 between January 10, 2010 and January 9, 2011, $18.7 million between January 10, 2011 and January 9, 2012 and $6.3 million between January 10, 2012 and January 9, 2013.

In addition to the minimum capital expenditure requirement, the Company must also comply with the other terms of the work program associated with the contract, which includes the drilling of at least seven additional new wells by January 9, 2013. The failure to meet the minimum capital expenditures or to comply with the terms of the work program could result in the loss of the subsurface exploration contract.

Litigation

In December 2003, a complaint was filed in the 15th Judicial Court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, naming, among others, the Company and former directors, Georges Benarroch and Alexandre Agaian, as defendants. The plaintiffs, Brian Savage, Thomas Sinclair and Sokol Holdings, Inc. allege claims of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and violation of a Florida trade secret statute in connection with a business plan for the development of the Aksaz, Dolinnoe and Emir oil and gas fields owned by Emir Oil, LLP. The parties mutually agreed to dismiss this lawsuit without prejudice.

In April 2005, Sokol Holdings, Inc., also filed a complaint in United States District Court, Southern District of New York alleging that BMB Munai, Inc., Boris Cherdabayev, and former BMB directors Alexandre Agaian, Bakhytbek Baiseitov, Mirgali Kunayev and Georges Benarroch wrongfully induced Toleush Tolmakov to breach a contract under which Mr. Tolmakov had agreed to sell to Sokol 70% of his 90% interest in Emir Oil LLP.

In October and November 2005, Sokol Holdings filed amendments to its complaint in the U.S. District Court in New York to add Brian Savage and Thomas Sinclair as plaintiffs and to add Credifinance Capital, Inc., and Credifinance Securities, Ltd., (collectively “Credifinance”) as defendants in the matter. The amended complaints alleged: i) tortious interference with contract, specific performance, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, unfair competition-misappropriation of labors and expenditures against all defendants; ii) breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty by Mr. Agaian, Mr. Benarroch and Credifinance; and iii) breach of fiduciary duty by Mr. Cherdabayev, Mr. Kunayev and Mr. Baiseitov, in connection with a business plan for the development of the Aksaz, Dolinnoe and Emir oil and gas fields owned by Emir Oil, LLP. The plaintiffs have not named Toleush Tolmakov as a defendant in the action nor have the plaintiffs ever brought claims against Mr. Tolmakov to establish the existence or breach of any legally binding agreement between the plaintiffs and Mr. Tolmakov. The plaintiffs seek damages in an amount to be determined at trial, punitive damages, specific performance and such other relief as the Court finds just and reasonable.

The Company has retained the law firm of Bracewell & Giuliani LLP in New York, New York to represent us in the lawsuit. The Company moved for dismissal of the amended complaint or for a stay pending arbitration in Kazakhstan. That motion was denied, without prejudice to renewing it, to enable defendants to produce documents to plaintiffs relating to the issues raised in the motion. Following completion of document production, the motion was renewed. Briefing on the motion was completed on August 24, 2006.

On June 14, 2007, the court ruled on our motion. The court (a) denied the motion to dismiss on the ground that Kazakhstan is a more convenient forum; (b) denied the motion to dismiss in favor of litigation in New York state court; (c) denied the motion to stay pending arbitration in Kazakhstan; and (d) denied the motion to dismiss on the ground that Mr. Tolmakov is an indispensable party. The court also (a) denied the motion (by defendants other than the Company) to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and (b) granted the motion (by defendants other than the Company) to dismiss several claims for relief alleging breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. The court dismissed as moot the Company’s cross-motion to stay discovery and instructed the parties to comply with the Magistrate Judge’s discovery schedule.

The Company has appealed the court’s refusal to stay the litigation pending arbitration in Kazakhstan. The Company moved for an order to stay all proceedings in the lower court while the aforementioned appeal is pending. This motion was denied by the lower court and we have made a similar motion before the Court of Appeals. Oral argument on the appeal was held on October 26, 2007. The Court of Appeals has not yet rendered a decision on the appeal or the ancillary motion to stay all proceedings pending a decision on the appeal. Therefore, discovery in the case is ongoing.

As of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 cash and cash equivalents included deposits in Kazakhstan banks in the amount $9,267,984 and $2,211,352, respectively, and deposits in U.S. banks in the amount of $14,196,274 and $15,027,484, 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 our deposits in Kazakhstan banks was uninsured as of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008. The Company’s deposits in U.S. banks are also in non-FDIC insured accounts which means they too are not insured to the $100,000 FDIC insurance limit.

Overview

BMB Munai is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition and production of crude oil and natural gas properties in the Republic of Kazakhstan (sometimes also referred to herein as the “ROK” or “Kazakhstan”). We hold a contract that allows us to explore and develop approximately 460 square kilometers in western Kazakhstan. Our contract grants us the right to explore and develop the ADE Block and an area adjacent to the ADE Block referred to herein as “the Extended Territory”, which includes the Kariman, Borly and Yessen oil and gas fields. The ADE Block and Extended Territory are collectively referred to herein as “our properties.”

Exploration Stage Activities

Under the statutory scheme in Kazakhstan prospective, oil fields are developed in two stages. The first stage is exploration stage. During this stage the primary focus is on the search for commercial discoveries, i.e.,  discoveries of sufficient quantities of oil and gas to make it commercially feasible to pursue execution of, or transition to, a commercial production contract with the government.

As discussed above, we are currently engaged in exploration of our properties and are working to satisfy the requirements to move to commercial production. Based on discussions with the MEMR, the MEMR expects a contract holder to engage in three primary activities during exploration stage before it will be granted commercial production rights. These activities fall within three primary areas:

• fulfillment of minimum work program commitments;

• establishment of the existence of commercially producible reserves; and

• preparation, submission and receipt of approval of a development plan prepared by a third-party petroleum institute in Kazakhstan for the exploitation of the established commercial reserves.

34

Minimum Work Program Requirements

In order to be assured that adequate exploration activities are undertaken during exploration stage, the MEMR establishes an annual mandatory minimum work program to be accomplished in each year of the exploration contract. Under the minimum work program the contractor is required to invest a minimum dollar amount in exploration activities on the contract territory, which may include geophysical studies, construction of field infrastructure or drilling activities. During the exploration stage, the contractor is also required to drill sufficient wells in each field to establish the existence of commercially producible reserves in any field for which it seeks a commercial production license. Failure to complete the minimum work program requirements for any particular field during the term of the exploration contract could preclude the contractor from receiving a longer-term production contract for such field, regardless the success of the contractor in proving commercial reserves during the partial fulfillment of the minimum work program.

The contract we hold follows the above format. The contract sets the minimum dollar amount we must expend during each year of our work program. Under our exploration license our work program year ends on July 9 each year until July 9, 2009. Thereafter our work program year will end on January 9 of each year. Therefore our work program year does not coincide with our fiscal fear. As a result these timing differences, the amounts reflected in this table as “Actually Made” may differ from amounts disclosed elsewhere in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Consolidated Financial Statements, which present figures based on our fiscal year rather than our work program year.

Amount of Expenditure	Mandated by Contract	Actually Made
Prior to July 2007	$40,200,000	$104,750,000
July 2007 to July 2008	$8,480,000	$115,040,000*
July 2008 to July 2009	$70,000	$ -
July 2009 to January 2010	$6,790,000	$ -
January 2010 to January 2011	$12,690,000	$ -
January 2011 to January 2012	$18,690,000	$ -
January 2012 to January 2013	$6,270,000	$ -
Total	$93,190,000	$219,790,000

* Investment as of June 30, 2008.

As reflected in the above table, in connection with the extension of the term of our exploration contract, we agreed to expend not less than $44.5 million dollars in additional work program activities through January 9, 2013.

35

Under the rules of the MEMR there is an option for expenditures above the minimum requirements in one period to be carried over to meet minimum obligations in future periods. As the above chart shows we have significantly exceeded the minimum expenditure requirement in each period of the contract and have more than doubled the total minimum capital expenditure requirement during the exploration stage.

In addition to mandatory minimum capital expenditures in each year, exploration contracts typically require the contract holder to drill a certain number of wells in each structure for which it plans to seek commercial production rights.

In Kazakhstan, typically, one exploratory well and two appraisal wells are sufficient to support a claim of commercially producible reserves in a particular field, although in some cases, commercial reserves have been demonstrated with fewer wells. The total number of wells the MEMR requires during exploration stage is generally determined by the number of fields or structures identified by the seismic studies done on a territory. The 3D seismic studies of our contract territory, as extended, have identified six potential fields or structures. Therefore, if we wish to apply for commercial production rights on all six fields we anticipate the need to drill at least three wells in each field, or at least 18 wells during exploration stage, as reflected in the top half of the following chart:

Structures	Aksaz	Dolinnoe	Emir	Kariman	Borly	Yessen
Exploratory Wells	1	1	1	1	1	1
Appraisal Wells	2	2	2	2	2	2
Existing Wells	3	5	3	9	0	0
Wells in Progress	2	1	0	1	0	0
Remaining Wells to Drill by 2013	0	0	0	0	3	3

The bottom half of the above chart shows our current drilling progress. As the chart shows, we have completed drilling of twenty wells in four fields and are currently drilling four additional wells.

Pursuant to the terms of the extension of our exploration contract, we are required to drill not less than seven new wells, in addition to those that are currently in progress, by January 9, 2013, to determine the existence of commercially producible reserves within the various structures in our license territory.

36

Establishing the Existence of Commercially Producible Reserves

Establishing the existence of commercially producible reserves is accomplished through drilling wells and engaging in test production of those wells during the exploration stage. We have established the presence of oil and/or natural gas in each of the Aksaz, Dolinnoe, Emir and Kariman fields and are engaged in testing to gather the necessary data and to determine whether commercially producible reserves exist in each of those fields. We have not drilled wells in the Borly and Yessen fields. The failure to establish commercially producible reserves within any particular field would not preclude us from applying for commercial production rights to other fields within our contract territory where we establish commercially producible reserves.

Preparation, Submission and Approval of a Development Plan

Our goal during exploration stage is to study the geology and geophysical characteristics of each field and individual well, with a view to qualifying for a longer-term production contract. Once we complete drilling of a well, our emphasis focuses on an extended period of testing the well’s production characteristics and capacities to determine the best method for producing oil from the well and to gain insight into the further development of the entire field. During this stage of exploration, oil production is subject to wide fluctuations caused by varying pressures commonly experienced by new wells and by significant periods of well closure to accommodate various mandatory testing. The data gathered during these testing procedures will be submitted by us to a third-party independent petroleum institute in Kazakhstan and will be the basis for preparing a development plan. The development plan, which is submitted to the MEMR for review and approval, sets forth the parameters and guidelines for the future commercial production and ongoing development of each field.

Taxes, Royalties and Duties

During exploration stage, we have the right to sell the oil and natural gas we recover during test production. As noted above, under our old exploration contract, we had been granted tax stability and were not required to pay rent export tax. We were, however, required to pay a royalty of 2%. In connection with the extension of the term of our exploration contract and the adoption of a new tax code in the Republic of Kazakhstan, we will be require to renegotiate the taxes and royalties we pay. We expect we will lose our tax stability and will be required to pay rent export tax on all sales outside of the Kazakhstan domestic market. Until the new tax code is adopted, it is difficult to predict the rate at which we will be taxed and what royalty we will be required to pay. Under the current tax regime, however, rent export tax rate is tied to the Brent oil price. Rent export tax also increases on a sliding scale. At the present time the rate is 33% of net revenues. Royalty rates are established by the taxing authorities of the ROK and are based on production rates. The rate increases on a sliding scale. Current royalty rates range from 2% to 6%.

37

As noted above, in June 2008 we became subject to a crude oil export duty on all oil sold outside the Kazakhstan domestic market. The formula for determining the amount of the crude oil export duty is based on a sliding scale that is tied to several factors, including the world market price for oil. The amount of export duty can change with fluctuations in world oil prices.  In June 2008 we paid export duty of $1,352,917.

We anticipate the imposition of the crude oil duty and the rent export tax will have a significant impact on our results of operations in the future.

Drilling Operations

We completed drilling operations on three wells: Kariman 7, 8 and 10 during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and have commenced testing operations and test production.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we have been engaged in drilling operations on 2 wells: Aksaz 2 and Dolinnoe 7. We also spudded two new wells, Aksaz 6 and Kariman 11, during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. We plan to complete drilling of these wells and commence testing operations during the second and third fiscal quarters 2009.

We completed drilling of the Kariman 6 well in February 2008 and Dolinnoe 5 well in March 2008 and have commenced extensive testing operations coupled with geophysical and geological studies on the wells.

Well Performance and Production

The following table sets forth the number of oil and natural gas wells in which we owned an interest as of June 30, 2008.

	Company-operated		Non-operated		Total
	Gross	Net	Gross	Net	Gross	Net
Oil	20	20	-	-	20	20
Natural Gas	-	-	-	-	-	-
Total	20	20	-	-	20	20

As noted in the chart above, as of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, we had twenty wells in workover, testing or test production

According to the laws of the republic of Kazakhstan, we are required to test every prospective target on our properties separately, this includes the completion of well surveys on different modes with various choke sizes on each horizon.

In the course of well testing, when the transfer from target to target occurs, the well must be shut in; oil production ceases for the period of mobilization/demobilization of the workover rig, pull out of the hole, run in the hole, perforation, packer installation time, etc. This has the effect of artificially diminishing production rates averaged over a set period of time.

38

Following is a brief description of the current production status of each of our 20 wells.

Well	Current Single Interval Production Rate	Diameter Choke Size
Aksaz -1	63 -132 bpd	4 mm
Aksaz -3	352 bpd	4 mm
Aksaz -4	63 bpd	4 mm
Dolinnoe -1	145- 214bpd	8 mm
Dolinnoe -2	57 bpd	2 mm
Dolinnoe -3	126-302 bpd	5 mm
Dolinnoe -5	-0-(1)	-
Dolinnoe -6	57-101 bpd	14 mm
Emir -1	-0-(2)	-
Emir - 2	-0-(3)	-
Emir -6	6-12 bpd	-
Kariman -1	44-120 bpd(4)	-
Kariman -2	717-849 bpd	5 mm
Kariman -3	6 – 57 bpd	-
Kariman -4	352-380 bpd	14 mm
Kariman -5	38 bpd	12 mm
Kariman -6	642-818 bpd	5 mm
Kariman -7	535-660 bpd	8 mm
Kariman -8	475 bpd	10 mm
Kariman -10	377-503 bpd	7 mm

(1) A first target was tested on 27th of March, 2008. A first week’s production was 110 bpd and in April it dropped to 63 bpd. For a couple of days the well was shut-in for a pressure build-up. After that the production was 26 bpd. We carried out an acid injection and hydro-impulsive cleaning and aeration, however, it hasn’t showed any result. We plan to make a bottom-hole zone cleaning to stimulate oil flow in August, 2008.

(2) This well currently is not producing because it is undergoing workover operations. Single interval production from this well prior to workover was 5 to 6 bpd.

(3) This well was completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. We have done testing activities and currently it is undergoing workover operations for a bottom-hole zone cleaning to stimulate oil flow.

(4) We carried out a hydraulic fracturing (breakdown) on this well during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Production from this well prior to the breakdown was 3-6bpd. We plan to make a bottom-hole zone cleaning to stimulate oil flow in July 2008.

Pursuing Profitable Acquisitions

While our emphasis in fiscal 2009 is anticipated to focus on the further development of our existing properties, we continue to look for properties with both existing cash flow from production and future development potential. We intend to pursue acquisitions of properties that we believe will provide attractive rates of return on capital invested. We work with consultants and our staff of experienced geological/geophysical engineers and financial managers to identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities.

Revenues. We generate revenue under our exploration contract from the sale of oil recovered during test production. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 our oil production increased 65% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. This significant increase in production is primarily attributable to the fact that we had twenty wells in testing or test production during all or some portion of the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to eight wells during all or some portion of the three months ended June 30, 2007.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 we realized revenue from oil sales of $34,827,224 compared to $11,580,958 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. One contributing factor to the 201% increase in revenue was a 66% increase in sales volume. Another factor contributing to the increase in revenues was an 81% increase in the price per barrel we received for oil sales during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 we exported 93% and 100% of our oil, respectively to the world markets and realized the world market price for those sales. Revenue from oil sold to the world markets made up 99% and 100% of total revenue, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. We anticipate production to remain fairly constant until we complete the new wells that are currently being drilled and begin test production at those wells.

As discussed above, our revenue is sensitive to changes in prices received for our oil. Oil prices fluctuate in response to many factors that are outside our control. Imbalances in the supply and demand for oil can have a dramatic effect on the price we receive for our production. We have been exporting most of our oil to the world markets. In connection with our contract extension, however, the MEMR may now require us to sell up to 20% of our oil production to the domestic market in Kazakhstan. If the MEMR enforces this provision of the addendum to our exploration contract, if we were denied an export quota or if our export quota were significantly reduced and we are required to sell a significant portion of our production to the domestic market in Kazakhstan, we anticipate the price we would receive per barrel of oil would be much lower than the price we currently realize which would lead to a significant decrease in revenues. Political instability, the economy, weather and other factors outside our control could also impact supply, demand and market prices.

Costs and Operating Expenses

The following table presents details of our expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

41

	For the three months ended June 30, 2008	For the three months ended June 30, 2007
Expenses:
Export duty	$   1,352,917	$               -
Oil and gas operating(1)	2,340,843	1,039,889
General and administrative	4,337,641	3,306,325
Depletion(2)	3,333,289	1,250,637
Accretion expenses	95,958	28,668
Amortization and depreciation	63,659	55,848
Consulting expenses	11,727,500	-
Total	$23,251,807	$ 5,681,367
Expenses ($ per BOE):
Oil and gas operating(1)	7.14	5.26
Depletion (2)	10.17	6.33

(1) Includes transportation cost, production cost and ad valorem taxes.

(2) Represents depletion of oil and gas properties only.

Export Duty. On April 18, 2008 the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan introduced an export duty on several products (including crude oil). We became be subject to the duty in June 2008. The export duty for June 2008 amounted to $1,352,917. The formula for determining the amount of the crude oil export duty is based on a sliding scale that is tied to several factors, including the world market price for oil. The amount of the export duty can change with fluctuations in world oil prices. We anticipate that the accrual of export duty for the future fiscal quarters will lead to a significant increase in operating expenses.

Oil and Gas Operating Expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 we incurred $2,340,843 in oil and gas operating expenses compared to $1,039,889 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. This significant increase is primarily the result of several factors, including increased royalty, salary and transportation expenses.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 royalty paid to the Government increased by $644,875 or 251% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The primary reason for the increase in royalty is two-fold. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 oil production increased 65% and our average sales price per barrel increased 81% as a result of exporting nearly all of our oil to the world markets. While royalty expenses increased significantly, as a percentage of total revenue, royalty expense remained nearly unchanged. We anticipate that royalty expenses will continue to fluctuate in proportion to production volume and realized sales price.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 payroll and related payments to production personnel increased $81,877 or 68% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a result of increased production volume, we retained more production personnel during the three months ended June 30, 2008 than during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

42

Transportation expenses increased $574,202 or 87% as a result of the increased volume of oil we produced and transported. We anticipate transportation expenses will continue to increase with increases in production.

We calculate oil and gas operating expense per BOE based on the volume of oil actually sold rather than production volume because not all volume produced during the period is sold during the period. The related production costs are expensed only for the units sold, not produced.

While oil and gas operating expenses increased 125% during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, expense per BOE increased 36% during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Expense per BOE increased as a result of increased production expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 we sold 197,573 barrels of oil, during the three months ended June 30, 2008 we sold 327,757 barrels of oil. As expense per BOE is a function of total expense divided by the number of barrels of oil sold, the 66% increase in sales volume less than offset the 125% increase in expenses resulting in a 36%, or $1.88, increase in oil and gas operating expense per BOE.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $4,337,648 compared to $3,306,325 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. This represents a 31% increase in general and administrative expenses. This increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of several factors such as increased payroll and related costs, rent expense, taxes and professional services.

We recognized compensation expense of $567,889 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 resulting from restricted stock grants made to employees and outside consultants. By comparison, during the three months ended June 30, 2007 we recognized the compensation expense in the amount of $576,957 for restricted stock grants issued to employees and outside consultants.

The increase in general and administrative expense during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of:

• a 44% increase in payroll and related costs as we hired additional administrative personnel to fulfill business needs, increased employee pay rates for existing employees;

• a 48% increase in rent expense from renting special equipment, apartments and additional vehicles;

• a 338% increase in taxes resulting from environmental payments; and

• a 15% increase in professional services resulting from legal fees incurred in our ongoing litigation.

43

These increases more than offset the 2% decrease in compensation expense realized during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Depletion. Depletion expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased by $2,082,652 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The major reason for this increase in depletion expense was a 66% increase in sales volume during in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in depletion expense was also attributable to the fact that we drilled additional wells, continued workover on existing wells and developed additional infrastructure during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 14% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase resulted from purchases of fixed assets during the quarter.

Income from Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 we realized income from operations of $11,575,417 compared to an income from operations of $5,899,591 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase in income from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2008 is the result of the 201% increase in revenue, which increase was only partially offset by a 309% increase in total expenses.

Other Income. During the fiscal three months ended June 30, 2008 we realized total other income of $1,745,906 compared to expense $489,903 during the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is largely attributable to $1,650,293 we received from a shareholder of the Company as disgorgement of profits earned in violation of the short-swing profit rules of Section 16b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Net Income. For all of the foregoing reasons, during the three months ended June 30, 2008 we realized net income of $13,321,323 or $0.30 per share compared to a net income of $3,882,257 or $0.09 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Funding for our activities has historically been provided by funds raised through the sale of our common stock and debt securities. From inception on May 6, 2003 through June 30, 2008 we have raised approximately $94.6 million through the sale of our common stock. Additionally during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 we completed the placement of $60 million in principal amount of 5.0% convertible senior notes due in 2012.

Our need for capital is primarily to fund our ongoing operations to meet the drilling requirements of our minimum work program. For the period from inception through June 30, 2008, we have incurred capital expenditures of $209,806,190 for exploration, development and acquisition activities.

44

We will need to expend a minimum of $44.5 million by January 2013 to satisfy the minimum capital expenditure requirements of our exploration license. We anticipate that required financial resources will be derived from our current and future production revenues and commercial debt.

As noted above, on July 16, 2007 we completed the private placement of US$60 million in principal amount of 5.0% convertible senior notes due 2012 to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable in each country where the placement took place. The Notes carry a 5% coupon and have a yield to maturity of 6.25%. Interest is paid at a rate of 5.0% per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually in arrears on January 13 and July 13 of each year.

The Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock. The initial conversion price was set at US$7.2094 per share, subject to customary adjustments in certain circumstances, including but not limited to, changes of control and certain future equity financings, but shall not be adjusted below US$6.95.

The Notes are callable after three years at a price equal to 104% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, subject to the share price trading at least 30% above the conversion price. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require us to redeem all or a portion of their Notes on July 13, 2010 at a price equal to 104% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled, the Notes will be redeemed by us at a price equal to 107.2% of the principal amount thereof on July 13, 2012. The Notes constitute direct, unsubordinated and unsecured, interest bearing obligations of the Company.

We granted a registration right to the Noteholders to register the Notes and the underlying shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes (collectively, the “Covered Securities”) for resale pursuant to the Securities Act. On January 25, 2008 the SEC declared effective the shelf registration statement filed by the Company on behalf of the Noteholders registering the resale of the Covered Securities.

For additional detail regarding the Notes, including adjustments to the initial conversion price and the registration right of the Noteholders and see Note 9 to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, June 30, 2008.

The net proceeds from the Note issuance of approximately $56.2 million have been used to continue our drilling program. We anticipate that even with these funds and anticipated revenue from operations we will need to obtain additional funding to finance our operations.

In the event we are unable to obtain sufficient funding to fully explore our entire exploration contract territory, we may forego exploration of one or more of the potential fields within the Extended Territory. The failure to explore a particular field by the end of our exploration contract would terminate our rights to explore that field in the future and would preclude us from making application for a commercial production contract for that field.

45

Cash Flows

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 cash was primarily used to fund exploration expenditures. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

	Three months ended June 30, 2008	Three months ended June 30, 2007
Net cash provided by operating activities	$     33,328,226	$      8,997,673
Net cash used in investing activities	$    (27,102,805)	$   (14,580,412)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$                      -	$                     -
NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS	$6,225,421	$(5,582,739)

Our principal source of liquidity during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2008 cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $17.2 million. At June 30, 2008 cash and cash equivalents had increased to approximately $23.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 we spent approximately $28.6 million to fund our drilling and development activities.

While we anticipate revenue to increase in upcoming quarters as new wells are completed and put into test production, at this time we cannot predict how much our production, and correspondingly, our revenue might increase. Moreover, with the imposition of the export duty in June 2008, we anticipate revenue from production may be significantly impacted. At current production rates, we expect that we will need to seek additional debt financing if we are to drill the additional wells we need to support our claims of commercially producible reserves in each field within our contract territory by the end of the term of our exploration contract. While we are in preliminary negotiations with a party to provide us a revolving credit facility, we have not at this time executed any definitive agreements. There is no guarantee that we will be able to secure additional funding on acceptable terms, or at all.

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 June 30, 2008, excluding current liabilities as listed on our consolidated balance sheet:

46

	Payments Due By Period
Contractual obligations	Total	Less than 1 year	1-3 years	4-5 years	After 5 years
Capital Expenditure Commitment(1)	$ 44,510,000	$     70,000	$ 28,825,000	$ 15,615,000	$       -
Due to the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan(2)	11,344,880	-	-	11,344,880	-
Liquidation Fund	3,889,897	-	3,889,897	-	-

Total	$ 63,744,777	$ 4,070,000	$ 32,714,897	$ 26,959,880	$      -

(1)   Under the terms of our subsurface exploration contract we are required to spend a total of $93.2 million in exploration activities on our properties, including a minimum of $70 thousand till July 2009, $6.8 million till January 2010, $12.7 million till January 2011, $18.7 million till January 2012 and $6.3 million till January 2013. As of June 30, 2008, we have spent a total of $219.8 million in exploration activities.

(2)   In connection with our acquisition of the oil and gas contract covering the ADE Block and the Extended Territory, we are required to repay the ROK for historical costs incurred by it in undertaking geological and geophysical studies and infrastructure improvements. Our repayment obligation for the ADE Block is $5,994,200 and our repayment obligation for the Extended Territory is $5,350,680. The terms of repayment of these obligations, however, will not be determined until such time as we apply for and are granted commercial production rights by the ROK. Should we decide not to pursue a commercial production rights, we can relinquish the ADE Block and/or the Extended Territory to the ROK in satisfaction of their associated obligations.

(3)   In November 2007 we entered into a consulting agreement with Caspian Energy Consulting Ltd. (“Consultant”). The consulting agreement provides that in the event the Consultant is successful in execution and delivery to us of a new exploration contract for a new contract territory, the Company will pay the amount of $4,000,000. The consulting agreement shall remain in force until terminated by either party. As of June 30, 2008 the Consultant has not obtained a new exploration contract for a new contract territory.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risks are fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently use derivative commodity instruments or similar financial instruments to attempt to hedge commodity price risks associated with future crude oil production.

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues, profitability and future growth depend substantially on prevailing prices for crude oil. Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to either borrow or raise additional capital. Price affects our ability to produce crude oil economically and to transport and market our production either through export to international markets or within Kazakhstan. Our crude oil sales in the international market during our first fiscal quarter 2009 were based on prevailing market prices at the time of sale less applicable discounts due to transportation.

47

Historically, crude oil prices have been subject to significant volatility in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond our control. Crude oil prices are likely to continue to be volatile and this volatility makes it difficult to predict future oil price movements with any certainty. Any declines in oil prices would reduce our revenues, and could also reduce the amount of oil that we can produce economically. As a result, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Emir Oil, LLP, our Kazakhstani subsidiary, also uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. To the extent that business transactions in Kazakhstan are denominated in the Kazakh Tenge we are exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar—Kazakh Tenge exchange rate. We do not engage in hedging transactions to protect us from such risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure controls and procedures are met.

As of the end of the period covered by this report we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On July 17, 2008 at the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, the Company’s board of directors approved, subject to certain vesting requirements, restricted stock awards to certain executive officers, directors, employees and outside consultants of the Company pursuant to the BMB Munai, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) The total number of shares granted was 1,330,000. Among the parties receiving restricted stock grants were the following:

Grants were made to 14 people, 12 of whom are non-U.S. persons. The restricted stock grants were made without registration pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act Rules and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

The restricted stock grants awarded to Mr. Cherdabayev, Mr. Kulumbetov, Mr. Tashtitov and Mr. Tolmakov were awarded on the same terms and subject to the same vesting requirements. More specifically, the restricted stock grants will vest to the grantees at such time as either of the following events occurs (the “Vesting Events”): i) the one-year anniversary of the grant date; or ii) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event.

49

An “Extraordinary Event” is defined in the restricted stock agreement as any consolidation or merger of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with another person, or any acquisition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group of persons, acting in concert, equal to thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In the event of an Extraordinary Event, the grants shall be deemed full vested one day prior to the effective date of the Extraordinary Event. The Board of Directors shall determine conclusively whether or not an Extraordinary Event has occurred and the grantees have agreed to be bound by the determination of the Board of Directors.  

The shares representing the restricted stock grants shall be issued as soon as practicable, will be deemed outstanding from the date of grant, and will be held in escrow by the Company subject to the occurrence of a Vesting Event. The grantees will have the right to vote the shares, receive dividends and enjoy all other rights of ownership over the entire grant amount from the grant date, except for the right to transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, dispose of or otherwise directly or indirectly profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in the shares prior to the occurrence of a Vesting Event. Shares will only vest to the grantee if the grantee is employed by the Company at the time a Vesting Event occurs. If a Vesting Event has not occurred at the time a grantee’s employment with the Company ceases, for any reason, the entire grant amount shall be forfeited back to the Company.  

The description of the terms of restricted stock grants to Mr. Cherdabayev, Mr. Tashtitov, Mr. Tolmakov and Mr. Kulumbetov contained in this report are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form restricted stock grant agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this report.
