NOTE A - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation . The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at April 30, 2009 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to interim financial statements, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending July 31, 2009.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of National Lampoon, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Lampoon Networks, Inc. and National Lampoon Tours, Inc. along with its 50% ownership in National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc., and its 100% ownership in Bagboy Productions, Inc, Ratko Productions, Inc. and 301 Productions, Inc. The Company has the full and exclusive control of the management and operation of the business of each subsidiary and participates in 100% of the revenues and losses of its subsidiaries. The Company participates in 50% of the revenues and net losses of National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern . The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $4,871,307 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as well as negative working capital of $5,673,452 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,096,453 as of April 30, 2009, along with net losses for the prior two years of $1,686,974 and $2,504,170. Additionally, on December 15, 2008 the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued a release, and the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania announced, that they had charged seven individuals and two corporations with engaging in three separate fraudulent schemes to manipulate the market for publicly traded securities through the payment of prearranged kickbacks. The defendants include National Lampoon, Inc. and Daniel S. Laikin (See Note G). Also on December 15, 2008, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania separately announced criminal charges involving the same conduct. Furthermore, on January 9, 2009 our board of directors decided to voluntarily delist our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from NYSE Amex Equities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

NATIONAL LAMPOON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NINE MONTHS ENDING APRIL 30, 2009 AND 2008

(UNAUDITED)

Historically, our principal sources of funds used for operations and working capital have been revenues and loans received from Daniel S. Laikin, our former Chief Executive Officer, and Timothy Durham, our current Chief Executive Officer. The aggregate amount of the loans and accrued interest owed to Mr. Laikin and Mr. Durham at April 30, 2009 was $1,508,594 as compared to $1,244,178 at July 31, 2008. These two individuals have made no further commitment to provide loans to us to meet any immediate working capital requirements.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital and revenue. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our capital requirements for the next 12 months will continue to be significant. We will need to obtain financing to fund our cash needs and continue our operations. Additional financing may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to continue our operations is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. We currently have no committed sources of capital.

As of April 30, 2009, we had cash totaling $50,191 and receivables totaling $453,851. We are currently delivering ten films for which the minimum guarantees, license fees and home video sales revenues are due upon notice of delivery, acceptance of delivery or home video accounts receivables payments received. During the third quarter ended April 30, 2009, we received $674,026 in license fees and we expect additional payments to be received by the end of the 2009 fiscal year.

Additionally, although we had completed an audit of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. relating to its exploitation of the films National Lampoon’s Vacation , National Lampoon’s European Vacation and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation , we are currently reviewing those results to determine how we will proceed. The Company has not recorded an estimate of any amount that it believes may be owed.

Revenue Recognition. Royalty income from film contracts is derived from the sale of DVDs or from the licensing of film rights to third parties. A significant portion of royalty income is paid to the Company based on the timetable associated with royalty statements generated by third party processors, and is not typically known by the Company on a timely basis. Consequently, this revenue is not recognized until the amount is either known or reasonably estimable or until receipt of the statements from the third parties. The Company contracts with various agencies to facilitate collection of royalty income. When the Company is entitled to royalties based on gross receipts, revenue is recognized before deduction of agency fees, which are included as a component of cost of revenue.

The Company recognizes revenue from television and film productions pursuant to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2"). The following conditions must be met in order to recognize revenue under SOP 00-2: (i) persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement exists; (ii) the program is complete and has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery; (iii) the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale; (iv) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and (v) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured. Advance payments received from buyers or licensees are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of deferred revenue.

Film Costs. Investment in film costs includes the capitalization of costs incurred to produce the film content including direct negative costs, production overhead, interest and development. These costs are recognized as operating expenses on an individual film basis in the ratio that the current year's gross revenues bear to management's estimate of total ultimate gross revenues from all sources to be earned over a seven-year period. Capitalized production costs are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value on an individual film basis. Revenue forecasts, based primarily on historical sales statistics, are continually reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing conditions. When estimates of total revenues and other events or changes in circumstances indicate that a film has a fair value that is less than its unamortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in the current period for the amount by which the unamortized cost exceeds the film's fair value.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes estimates that effect reserves for allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated useful life of property and equipment, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments, reserves for any commitments or contingencies, debt issue costs, capitalized film costs, calculation of impairment, amortization expense and deferred income taxes.

Concentration. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are federally insured; however, at times such balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in bank accounts in excess of the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2009 one customer accounted for $ 465,522 (23%) of total revenue. During the nine months ended April 30, 2008 three customers accounted for $750,000 (19%), $617,411 (16%) and $485,411 (12%) of total revenue.

During the three months ended April 30, 2009, three customers accounted for $28,973 (14%), $25,000 (12%), and $39,195 (19%) of total revenue. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, three customers accounted for $750,000 (28%), $485,411 (18%), and $406,911 (15%) of total revenue.

As of April 30, 2009, the Company had $100,000 (22%), $73,980 (16%) and $86,784 (19%) of accounts receivable from its largest customers.

The Company currently does not rely on a single vendor for a majority of its productions. The Company has different vendors that can be replaced if the need arises. A change in vendors would not cause a significant delay in the production process that would ultimately affect operating results.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company partially adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” on January 1, 2008, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds and are measured using present value pricing models.

In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following table represents certain financial instruments of the Company measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2009:


	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
Assets:
Available for sale securities at fair value		$	35,308		$	—		$	—		$	35,308

Comprehensive Income (Loss). SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", established rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities adjustments to be reported as a separate component (comprehensive income/loss) of shareholders' equity. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

	Three months ended April 30,					Nine months ended April 30,
	2009			2008		2009			2008
Net Income (Loss)	$	(779,781	)	$	97,744	$	(4,871,307	)	$	(1,918,546	)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that 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; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company does not have a non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “ Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (“EPS”).

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of FAS 107, “Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” Additionally, FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes of the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. FSP 107-1/APB 28-1 does not change the accounting treatment for these financial instruments

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, FSP 157-4 requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162," and approved—the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental US GAAP. The Codification does not change current US GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. For the Company, the Codification is effective July 1, 2009 and will require future references to authoritative US GAAP to coincide with the appropriate section of the Codification.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)," which revised the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities. The modifications include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Net Income or Loss per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated assuming the issuance of common shares under the treasury stock method, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Basic and diluted losses per share are the same at April 30, 2009 and 2008, as common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation due to the fact that they are anti-dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 6,171,056 and 6,358,722 common shares during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 7,288,432 and 7,302,431 shares that would be issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 includes 859,886 common shares to be issued.

At April 30, 2009, there are 61,832 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding, 190,247 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding and 163,261 Series D Convertible Preferred Shares outstanding. Upon conversion of the 61,832 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, 3,483,491 common shares would be issuable. Upon conversion of the 190,247 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, 3,804,940 common shares would be issuable. Upon conversion of the 163,261 Series D Convertible Preferred Shares, 3,265,220 common shares would be issuable.

Each Series B Convertible Preferred Share is convertible into 56.338 common shares. Each Series C Convertible Preferred Share is convertible into 20 common shares. Warrants attached to the Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE B - CAPITALIZED PRODUCTION COSTS

The following table summarizes the net capitalized film costs in various stages of production at:

	April 30,		July 31,

Completed - theatrical		3,029,021		2,339,695
Total film costs	$	5,141,575	$	5,017,567

The Company expects to amortize within three to five years 90% of capitalized film costs based on the estimated costs and ultimate revenue projected. The portion of the costs of the Company's films that was amortized during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 was $9,012 and $60,005, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, was $1,208,937 and $1,208,416, respectively. During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, the Company also reflected an impairment charge of $2,371,575 based upon a revision of its forecasted film revenues. The portion of the costs of the Company's films that are expected to be amortized during the upcoming 12 months is approximately $932,552.

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

United States Securities and Exchange Commission v. National Lampoon, Inc. On December 15, 2008 the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") issued a release stating that it had charged seven individuals and two corporations with engaging in three separate fraudulent schemes to manipulate the market for publicly traded securities through the payment of prearranged kickbacks. The defendants include National Lampoon, Inc. and Daniel S. Laikin, our former Chief Executive Officer, as well as stock promoters, a consultant, and an officer of another company. Also on December 15, 2008, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania separately announced criminal charges involving the same conduct.

The Commission's complaint alleges that, from at least March 2008 through June 2008, Mr. Laikin and others engaged in a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for the Company's common stock. Specifically, the Commission has charged that Mr. Laikin and others paid kickbacks in exchange for generating or causing purchases of the Company's common stock to a stock promoter and others to give the false impression of a steady demand for the stock.

The complaint alleges that Mr. Laikin and others paid at least $68,000 to cause the purchase of at least 87,500 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition to paying others to purchase the stock, the complaint alleges that Mr. Laikin shared confidential financial information regarding the Company, non-public news releases, and confidential shareholder lists, and coordinated the release of news with the illegal purchases in the stock. The complaint also alleges that the Company and Mr. Laikin made materially misleading statements in a tender offer.

The complaint alleges violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 9(a)(2), 10(b) and 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 13e-4 thereunder. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions against all defendants, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, together with prejudgment interest and civil penalties from the individual defendants, and an officer and director bar against Mr. Laikin. On September 23, 2009 Mr. Laikin pled guilty to a charge of conspiring to violate Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.10b-5.

Trading in the Company's common stock was suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission through December 29, 2008. Trading in the Company’s common stock resumed on the Pink Sheets on February 5, 2009

David Weisburd, derivatively on behalf of Nominal Defendant National Lampoon, Inc. v The Board of Directors and National Lampoon, Inc. On or about February 24, 2009, David Weisburd filed a Shareholder Derivative Complaint for Breach of Fiduciary Duty, CA No BC408377, in the Superior Court of the State of California County of Los Angeles, alleging breach of fiduciary duty by the Company’s board of directors (“defendants”) and the Company, which is designated as a “nominal defendant”. Damages sought include: a finding that the defendants have violated their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders; an Order requiring the Company to comply with applicable rules and regulations regarding management and oversight procedures and/or controls; a finding against the defendants for an amount of damages sustained by the Company as a result of the defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duty in an amount to be determined at trial, together with prejudgment interest; an award to the plaintiff of reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other reasonable costs and expenses; and an Order granting all such additional and different relief as this Court deems just and proper.

During the quarter ended April 30, 2009, there were no material developments relating to other legal actions to which we are a party.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to employees and consultants under the 1999 Plan. During the nine months ended April 31, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 1,063,389 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.16 per share to employees and consultants under the 1999 Plan. The aggregate value of the options vesting during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 was $355,119 and $961,847, respectively, and has been reflected as compensation cost. As of April 30, 2009, the aggregate value of unvested options was $401,054, which will be amortized as compensation cost as the options vest, over 3 years.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the volatility of the Company’s share price during the year preceding the issuance date of the option. For purposes of determining the expected life of the option, the full contract life of the option is used; average risk-free interest of 5.50%; and dividend yield of 0%.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.00 and $0.98, respectively.

Subsequent to April 30, 2009 the following legal actions were filed against the company:

Majestic Entertainment, Lorenzo Doumani and Eleonore Doumani v. National Lampoon, Inc. and Dan Laikin - This case was filed on July 31, 2009 in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. SC104240), with causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair business practices and violation of Corporations Code section 25400, involving two different contracts dated in 2004 - one involving a joint venture entitled National Lampoon Clubhouse and the other involving a preferred share agreement.

Breaking the Rules, LLC v.

Chermak v. Emmons, et al. – This action is pending in the Los Angeles Superior Court, West District, Beverly Hills Courthouse and bears case number (LASC Case No. 07C02106).

On or about August 17, 2009, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking to enforce her judgment against National Lampoon, Inc. The plaintiff’s motion was granted on September 30, 2009. We are currently evaluating whether we will appeal this order.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Overview

We are a media and entertainment company that creates and distributes comedic content. The National Lampoon™ brand was initially developed in 1970 through publication of National Lampoon Magazine and later through the use of our name on motion pictures, including National Lampoon's Animal House and National Lampoon's Vacation . Our plan is to expand the use of our brand in order to increase the revenues we generate through license fees, advertising and other sources. We earn the majority of our revenues from the following business activities:

Motion Picture Production and Distribution

We produce feature films. Historically, motion pictures that carry our brand had been produced and financed by third parties. We decided to develop, produce and distribute motion pictures under the National Lampoon name in order to control both the creative process and the distribution of the films and also to build a film library and to expand our brand visibility.

As part of our plan to increase the visibility of our brand in the film industry and to expand our film library we also began acquiring and branding third-party films for distribution in the U.S. and internationally. For third party films we pay finishing and prints and advertising costs that are recouped through U.S. theatrical, home entertainment and international sales.

In October 2006 we invested in Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. (“Red Rock”). We currently own approximately 14% of Red Rock’s outstanding capital stock. Red Rock was formed for the purpose of providing financing and consulting services related to the production and exploitation of motion pictures. We have completed production on two films in partnership with Red Rock, National Lampoon’s Bag Boy and National Lampoon’s Ratko, The Dictator’s Son. National Lampoon’s Bag Boy was delivered during the year ended July 31, 2008 and National Lampoon’s Ratko, The Dictator’s Son is currently expected to be delivered the second quarter of 2010.

We are also in post production on our third title, National Lampoon’s The Legend of Awesomest Maximus. We expect to deliver this motion picture during the second or third quarter of the 2010 fiscal year.

We acquired distribution rights for seven films produced by unrelated third parties including National Lampoon's Jake's Booty Call , National Lampoon's Homo Erectus , National Lampoon Presents Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell, National Lampoon Presents Electric Apricot, National Lampoon Presents One, Two Many, National Lampoon’s Robodoc and National Lampoon’s Bar Starz. By releasing these films through various media channels, including theatrical, home entertainment, foreign distribution and digital distribution, we earn distribution fees.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we released 2 motion pictures, National Lampoon's “Stoned Aged / Homo Erectus” which is being distributed by Paramount Pictures and “Bag Boy” which is being distributed by National Lampoon and Arts Alliance.

We have an interest in National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc., a production entity, which produced the film Monster Night aka Trick or Treat . Monster Night was released in the fall of 2006. During the 2007 fiscal year we licensed the domestic and foreign video sales to a sub-distributor and terminated our production agreement with Majestic Entertainment. We will no longer produce films through National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc.

The following is a list of the 11 motion pictures in our library that we either produced or acquired:

	Year

National Lampoon’s Bar Starz	2009	OBX Productions
National Lampoon’s The Legend of Awesomest Maximus	2009	National Lampoon, Inc.

We also earn revenues from providing production services on our own productions as well as third party productions that we acquire. Our production services are included in the production budget and are recorded as the production’s capitalized production costs.

We are currently developing for production and/or acquiring approximately four projects per year which will carry the National Lampoon name. We have motion picture output agreements with a domestic home video distributor and a cable television broadcast company. An output agreement guarantees a negotiated payment or advance for the distribution rights for films in development. The minimum guarantee or advance may be paid over various points of production of the film or upon full delivery of the finished product.

We have agreements with independent third parties for the limited platform theatrical release and subsequent distribution of our films to home entertainment. During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we released two films as “platform theatrical releases” which is the release of a motion picture in a small number of theaters in order to promote the home entertainment sales.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2009, revenues derived from motion picture production and distribution totaled approximately $373,034 or approximately 18% of all the revenues we earned during the period.

Licensing

We license our National Lampoon trademark for use in the titles of films. We receive a license fee at the time we enter into an agreement allowing use of the National Lampoon trademark. Depending on our agreement with the motion picture studio or distributor, we also may receive royalties. Some of our agreements provide us with “first dollar gross” participation, meaning that we receive a percentage of all money received by the distributor from the distribution of the motion picture in any type of media, while other agreements provide for participation solely in net profits or in gross profits. Net profit participation is based upon a negotiated definition of net revenues after deducting certain costs of a film, including distribution fees, financing costs and general corporate expenses, while gross profit participation is based upon gross revenues, before any costs such as distribution fees, financing costs and other corporate costs are deducted. It may take years for the studio or the distributor to recoup the license fee, minimum guarantee or advance and the expenses, or these costs may never be recovered by the studio.

We currently are a party to 31 feature film branding agreements. Pursuant to these agreements, once the film is released and begins earning revenues, the studio or distributor is entitled to recoup any licensing fee, minimum guarantee or advance it paid to us under the agreement and, if included in the agreement, interest. Once this amount is recouped, our participation in the revenues earned by the film may begin.

We have derived a substantial portion of our revenues from license fees relating to the use of our name on new motion pictures and from royalties from previously released motion pictures bearing our brand, including movies such as National Lampoon's Animal House and National Lampoon's Vacation . Releasing a film with our brand enhances its ability to find distribution outlets. Once a film is released with our brand, we earn revenues from foreign sales, theatrical release, home video and DVD sales and rentals and pay-per-view.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2009, revenues derived from licensing, exclusive of publishing revenues, totaled $674,026 or approximately 32% of all the revenues we earned during the period.

Internet Activities

Our Internet properties comprise several Internet destination sites. These include NationalLampoon.com, DrunkUniversity.com, TOGATV.com and KnuckleheadVideo.com. We have acquired other websites and we continue making such acquisitions on a regular basis. We have focused substantial resources toward launching these websites, and we plan to continue doing so on an ongoing basis. These destination sites are also part of National Lampoon’s online networks, which include the National Lampoon Humor Network and the Drunk University Network. These are aggregated online networks of more than 200 of the most popular humor and college lifestyle destination sites on the Internet. We sell advertising space on our websites and networks in the form of video streamed advertisements, full page takeover advertisements and banner advertisements. We also are actively engaged in creating “branded entertainment” as well as custom promotional content production and distribution for these Internet destinations.

In May 2007 we announced the launch of the National Lampoon Video Network where we entered into content distribution agreements with several Internet video portals including AOL, Joost, Veoh, Yahoo!, YouTube and others. These partners sell advertising space including video streaming and we receive a portion of the revenues earned.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2009, revenues derived from our Internet activities totaled $627,169 or approximately 31% of all the revenues we earned during the period.

Discontinued Operations

In the past we also earned revenues from National Lampoon Networks, which delivered college television programming and performed field marketing activities, from publishing books and from NL Radio, LLC. While we earned some revenues from these operations during the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as of various dates from January 2009 to May 2009 we are no longer engaged in any of these activities and we do not expect to re-enter these markets in the future.

Trends, Events and Uncertainties

We have experienced a number of challenges during the nine months ended April 30, 2009. In December 2008 the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice brought actions against us and Daniel Laikin, our former Chief Executive Officer, for alleged fraudulent schemes to manipulate the market for our securities. As a result, in December 2008 Mr. Laikin resigned and Timothy Durham was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer. On September 23, 2009 Mr. Laikin pled guilty to a charge of conspiring to violate Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.10b-5. The defense of these legal actions, as well as other legal actions that have been filed since December 2008, continues to require a significant amount of management’s time and attention. Mr. Laikin and Mr. Durham were also our primary sources of financing for many of our operations,however, neither Mr. Laikin nor Mr. Durham is required to continue providing funding to us. Since December 2008 Mr. Laikin has provided no further financing to us. Our operations have also been adversely effected by the global economic recession, which resulted in slower payment of fees owed to us and, in at least 3 cases, the failure to pay fees owed to us at all, as well as fewer distribution arrangements. We expect these matters to continue to impact our operations for at least the next 12 months.

Aside from the legal actions we have disclosed in this and in previous reports, since April 30, 2009 we have been made a party to the following material legal actions:

Majestic Entertainment, Lorenzo Doumani and Eleonore Doumani v. National Lampoon, Inc. and Daniel Laikin. This case was filed on July 31, 2009 in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. SC104240), with causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair business practices and violation of Corporations Code section 25400, involving two different contracts dated in 2004. One contract involved a joint venture entitled National Lampoon Clubhouse and the other contract involved a purchase of preferred stock.

Breaking the Rules, LLC v. National Lampoon, Inc. On or about July 30, 2009, the claimant served a Demand for Arbitration with the Independent Film & Television Alliance, claiming breach of contract and fraud, involving a distribution agreement for the film titled National Lampoon’s One, Two Many . The claimant seeks the termination of the agreement, unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, attorneys' fees and costs.

Chermak v. Emmons, et al. This action is pending in the Los Angeles Superior Court, West District and bears case number (LASC Case No. 07C02106). This action was originally filed on May 29, 2007 against Kent Emmons, Emmons Media Group, NL Radio, LLC, Comedy Express Networks, Studio Funny Films, K Tahoe Investments, National Lampoon Networks, Inc. and National Lampoon Radio Networks for failure to pay invoices for legal services allegedly provided. On or about November 25, 2008, a judgment was entered against all named defendants for the principal sum of $101.298.49. On or about August 17, 2009, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking to enforce her judgment against National Lampoon, Inc. The plaintiff’s motion was granted on September 30, 2009. We are currently evaluating whether we will appeal this order.

The defense of these actions will be both costly and time consuming. We cannot be certain that we will successfully defend or settle any of the actions that have not been resolved.

Other trends, events and uncertainties that may impact our operations are included in the discussion of our results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. Royalty income from film contracts is derived from the sale of DVDs or from the licensing of film rights to third parties. Because a significant portion of royalty income is based on the timetable associated with royalty statements generated by third party processors, we do not typically know on a timely basis when royalties may be paid or the amount of payment. This revenue is consequently not recognized until the amount is either known or reasonably estimable or until receipt of the statements from the third parties. We contract with various agencies to facilitate collection of royalty income. When we are entitled to royalties based on gross receipts, revenue is recognized before deduction of agency fees, which are included as a component of cost of revenue.

We recognize revenue from television and film productions pursuant to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2"). The following conditions must be met in order to recognize revenue under SOP 00-2: (i) persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement exists; (ii) the program is complete and has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery; (iii) the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale; (iv) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and (v) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured. Advance payments received from buyers or licensees are included in the financial statements as a component of deferred revenue.

Film Costs. Investment in film costs includes the capitalization of costs incurred to produce the film content including direct negative costs, production overhead, interest and development. These costs are recognized as operating expenses on an individual film basis in the ratio that the current year's gross revenues bear to management's estimate of total ultimate gross revenues from all sources to be earned over a seven year period. Capitalized production costs are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value on an individual film basis. Revenue forecasts, based primarily on historical sales statistics, are continually reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing conditions. When estimates of total revenues and other events or changes in circumstances indicate that a film has a fair value that is less than its unamortized cost, an impairment loss is recognized in the current period for the amount by which the unamortized cost exceeds the film's fair value.

Investments. We account for our investments in equity securities under SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” We have classified our investments as available for sale securities, and such securities are carried at fair value. The fair values for marketable equity securities are based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value considered to be other than temporary on available for sale securities are included in other income (loss).

Results of Operations

We operate in five business segments, namely, licensing and exploitation of the National Lampoon trademark and related properties including the sale of products to consumers and publishing of copyrighted material; advertising and promotion through our Internet websites, field marketing, live events and television programming on college campuses; production of film and television products; travel services; and distribution.

Segment operating income (loss) excludes the amortization of intangible assets, interest income, interest expense, other income and expenses, minority interest, equity in investee loss and income taxes. Selling, general and administrative expenses not specifically attributable to any segment have been prorated among the five segments. Amortization of capitalized production costs and impairment of capitalized production costs have been prorated based upon revenue among the licensing and publishing, production and distribution segments.

Summarized financial information for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 for our segments is as follows:

Three months ended April 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2008

Licensing and Publishing Revenues

Licensing and publishing revenues were $14,569 for the three months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $1,662,311 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $1,647,742 or 99%.

The decrease for the three-month period was primarily attributable to a decrease in television revenues, which were $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $750,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $750,000 or 100%. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of receipts.

The decrease for the three-month period was also attributable to a decrease in revenues derived from sales of international distribution licenses for our various titles, which totaled $0 during the three months ended April 30, 2009 as compared to $690,410 for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The prior year revenue was derived from National Lampoon's Bag Boy as well as from National Lampoon Presents Beach Party on the Threshold of Hell and National Lampoon's Homo Erectus .

Motion picture royalties decreased from $171,585 for the three months ended April 30, 2008 to $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2009. The royalties paid during the three months ended April 30, 2008 related to a settlement that we reached with Universal Studios during the 2007 fiscal year for unpaid royalties related to the exploitation of National Lampoon’s Animal House .

Publishing revenues net of reserve for returns were $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $(55,241) for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The loss in revenue for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008 was due to returns that exceeded publishing revenues.

Costs related to licensing revenues were $9,863 for the three months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $41,243 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $31,380 or 76%.The decrease in costs related to licensing revenues resulted primarily from a decrease in license fees during the three months ended April 30, 2009.

Amortization of capitalized production costs was $9,012 for the three months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $1,208,416 for the three months ended April 30, 2008. Amortization for current productions begins upon theatrical and/or home video release.

Costs related to publishing revenues were $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2009, compared to $76,080 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $76,080 or 100 %. The decrease in costs related to amortization of publishing costs.

Advertising and Promotion Revenues

Advertising and promotion revenues totaled $92,438 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $553,019 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $460,581 or 83%. The decrease in revenue was the result of a decrease in promotion revenues mainly due to Internet advertising on our new websites and a decrease in prints and advertising revenues charged on the release of our titles. Going forward, we expect to focus our resources on increasing revenues generated from our Internet websites and from product placement. We do not intend to continue providing field promotion services at events held by third parties or to produce field promotion events in the future.

Costs of advertising and promotion revenue were $51,371 during the three months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $68,893 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $17,522 or 25%. The decrease in costs of advertising and promotion was primarily due to the decrease in internet design fees of $15,000.

Production Revenues

For the three months ended April 30, 2009, production revenue was $0, as compared to $265,828 for the same period in 2008. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, production revenues were earned from live events and for post production services while during the three months ended April 30, 2009 we earned no such revenues. We traditionally do not produce product unless we have a presale, minimum guarantee or co-production agreement in place. This reduces our financial risk as productions tend to be capital intensive. As these output arrangements are signed, we will allocate additional internal resources to this segment of our business.

Costs related to production revenues were $16,810 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, compared to $21,900 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, for a difference of $5,090. Although there were no production revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2009, there were remaining costs related to revenues from prior periods.

Distribution Revenues

For the three months ended April 30, 2009, distribution revenue was $100,599 as compared to $154,772 for the same period in 2008. Distribution revenues primarily resulted from the DVD release of five of our titles on our distribution network, which includes theatrical, home entertainment and digital distribution.

For the three months ended April 30, 2009, costs related to distribution revenues were $15,499 as compared to $92,311 for the same period in 2008. Costs related to distribution revenues are primarily due to the distribution fees plus the costs of manufacturing, marketing and pick, pack and ship directly related to the DVD release.

Other Costs and Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended April 30, 2009 were $710,758 as compared to $938,022 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $227,264 or approximately 24%. During the three months ended April 30, 2009, approximately 59% of our selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of salary expense totaling $418,757, as compared to salary expense of approximately $526,010, which represented 56% of selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease of $107,253, or 20%, in salary expense for the three months ended April 30, 2009 was primarily due to the separation from service of various employees as well as the closure of our New York office. During the three months ended April 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses also included consulting fees of $33,297 as compared to $59,417 during the same period in the prior year for a decrease of $26,120 as we continued to reduce our reliance on consultants. Legal fees increased by $76,641, or 397%, from $19,296 during the three months ended April 30, 2008 to $95,937 for the same period in 2009. Investor and public relations costs decreased by $78,646, or 100%, from $78,646 during the three months ended April 30, 2008 to $0 for the same period in 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses not specifically attributable to any segment have been allocated among the five segments pro-rata according to percent of revenues. Segment operating income (loss) excludes the amortization of intangible assets, interest income and income taxes.

Amortization of intangible assets, which consists of the costs of our acquisition and protection of the “National Lampoon” trademark, as well as the acquisition of websites, domain names and other intangible assets was approximately $93,226 during the three months ended April 30, 2009 and $61,637 for the three months ended April 30, 2008. The increase was due to the acquisition of websites.

There was an increase of $54,047 in interest expense to $83,086 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, from $29,039 during the three months ended April 30, 2008. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in production and prints and advertising loans from related parties.

Other income increased by $2,883 or 447% to $2,238 during the three months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $(645) for the three months ended April 30, 2008.

For the three months ended April 30, 2009, we had a net loss of $779,781 as compared to net income of $97,744 for the three months ended April 30, 2008, representing an increase in net loss of $877,525 or 448%. The increase in net loss for the three-month period resulted primarily from significant decreases in revenues from advertising and promotion along with a decrease in distribution and licensing and a decrease in expenses for the quarter.

During the quarters ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, we had no provision for income taxes due to the significant net operating losses incurred in prior periods and related carry forward to the current period. We also accrued dividends of $287,339 during the three months ended April 30, 2009 and $292,356 during the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of our Series B or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock.

Nine months ended April 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2008

Licensing and Publishing Revenues

Licensing and publishing revenues were $705,505 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $2,251,877 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $ 1,546,372 or 69 %.

The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily attributable to decreases in television revenue of $750,000, motion picture revenue of $301,000 and international sales of $654,000. This was offset with an increase in royalties for video of $128,000 and publishing of $53,000.

Costs related to licensing revenues were $44,804 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $84,394for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $39,590 or 88%. The decrease in costs related to license revenues resulted primarily from a decrease to $31,000 in royalties accrued to Harvard Lampoon during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.

Amortization of capitalized production costs was $60,005 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $1,208,937 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. Amortization for current productions begins upon theatrical and/or home video release. The increase was primarily due to the amortization of capitalized production costs of $64,501 due to revenue recognition for domestic and international licensing of six film titles. The amortization was offset by a decrease in the amount of ($4,496) in the disposal of Totally Baked due to a refund of production costs that was received during the nine months ended April 30, 2009. Impairment of capitalized production costs was $2,371,575 for the nine months ending April 30, 2009 compared to $0 for the nine months ending April 30, 2008. The impairment of capitalized production costs was due to the write down of domestic and international licensing ultimate revenues from the release of National Lampoon’s Bagboy and National Lampoon’s Ratco, The Dictator’s Son based upon a review of our estimates with current contracts, and was expensed to “impairment of capitalized production costs”. The remaining amount of $465,971 in capitalized production costs for National Lampoon’s Bagboy will be expensed during the 2009 and 2010 fiscal years.

Costs related to publishing revenues were $128,108 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, compared to $124,125 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, representing an increase of $3,982 or 3 %. The increase in costs related to publishing revenues consisted of miscellaneous publishing costs during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.

Advertising and Promotion Revenues

Advertising and promotion revenues totaled $976,879 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $1,159,195 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $182,316 or 16%. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a $90,000 decrease in promotion revenues, mainly from Internet advertising on our websites, as well as a decrease of $90,000 in sponsored production shoots and field promotion events. Going forward, we expect to focus our resources on increasing revenues generated from our Internet websites and from product placement.

Costs of advertising and promotion revenue were $337,866 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $404,506 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $66,640 or 16%. The decrease in costs of advertising and promotion was the result of a number of factors. Due to an improvement of our Internet capabilities, web development and Internet service fees decreased by $12,000 and sales promotions declined by $50,000.

Production Revenues

For the nine months ended April 30, 2009, production revenue was $49,855, as compared to $265,828 for the same period in 2008. Production revenues decreased by $215,973 or 81%, primarily due to a decrease of video production during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and the timing of the contracts. We traditionally do not produce product unless we have a presale, minimum guarantee or co-production agreement in place. This reduces our financial risk as productions tend to be capital intensive. However, we are planning to expand our productions and we are negotiating with domestic pay television broadcasters and home video distributors for output arrangements. The output arrangement guarantees a pre-negotiated minimum guarantee or sales price for the licensing of a specific media and territory. As these output arrangements are signed, we will allocate additional internal resources to this segment of our business.

Costs related to production revenues were $78,728 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009, compared to $40,948 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, for a difference of $37,780.

Distribution revenues primarily resulted from the DVD release of five of our titles on our distribution network, which includes theatrical, home entertainment and digital distribution, during the nine months ended April 30, 2009.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2009, costs related to distribution revenues were $139,164 as compared to $106,811 for the same period in 2008. Costs related to distribution revenues are primarily due to the distribution fees plus the costs of manufacturing, marketing and pick, pack and ship directly related to the DVD release.

Travel Services Revenues

During the nine months ended April 30, 2008, travel services revenues were $110,000 compared to $0 for the nine months ended April 30,2 009. During the six months ended January 31, 2008 we agreed to dismiss a legal action in exchange for a payment of $110,000 to be made upon execution of the settlement agreement. The settlement amount was recognized as revenue. Prior to the settlement we discontinued our travel services business and no further revenues are expected to be earned from this segment.

Other Costs and Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 were $3,278,512 as compared to $4,058,679 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $780,167 or approximately 19%. During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, approximately 49% of our selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of salary expense totaling $1,618,817, as compared to salary expense of approximately $2,379,669, which represented 59% of selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The decrease of $760,852, or 32%, in salary expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2009 was primarily due to the separation from service of various employees as well as the closure of our New York office. During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses also included consulting fees of $183,758 as compared to $295,713 during the same period in the prior year for a decrease of $111,955 as we continued to reduce our reliance on consultants. Legal fees increased by $123,744, or79%, from $155,857 during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $279,601 for the same period in 2009. Investor and public relations costs decreased by $254,758, or 73%, from $349,042 during the nine months ended April 30, 2008 to $94,284 for the same period in 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses not specifically attributable to any segment have been allocated among the five segments pro-rata according to percent of revenues.

Amortization of intangible assets, which consists of the costs of our acquisition and protection of the “National Lampoon” trademark, as well as the acquisition of websites, domain names and other intangible assets was approximately $306,311 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and $184,021 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The increase was due to the acquisition of websites.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we recorded expenses of $355,119 associated with the granting of stock options and warrants to employees, advisors and consultants as compared to expenses of $984,046 incurred for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, for a decrease of $628,927 or 64%. The decrease is primarily due to a reduced number of grants of options to our directors, employees and consultants.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we recorded expenses of $93,730 associated with stock issued for services as compared to expenses of $515,168 incurred for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, for a decrease of $421,438 or 82%. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in the number of consultants and vendors being paid with shares of our common stock.

There was an increase of $137,543 in interest expense to $212,288 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009, from $74,745 during the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in production and prints and advertising loans from related parties.

Other income decreased by $391,253 or 93% to $30,636 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 compared to $421,889 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The increase for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2008 was primarily due to the write off of a stale accrued royalty. In July 1987, NLI granted the right to produce National Lampoon television programming to GPEC. The royalty was recognized as an expense in prior years. Approximately $396,250 remained on the books as a liability and was written off during the nine months ended April 30, 2008.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we had a net loss of $4,871,307 as compared to a net loss of $1,918,546 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, representing an increase in net loss of $2,952,761 or 154%. The increase in net loss for the nine-month period resulted primarily from a significant decrease in revenues from advertising and promotion along with a decrease in licensing and production revenues and an increase in expenses. The increase in expenses was a result of the impairment of capitalized production costs of $2,371,575, partially offset by decreases in costs related to SG&A, advertising and promotion costs, and amortization.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, we had no provision for income taxes due to the significant net operating losses incurred in prior periods and related carry forward to the current period. We also accrued dividends of $872,010 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 and $887,898, during the same period in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

With the exception of the first quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, we have not generated positive cash flows from operations over the past few years. Our principal sources of working capital during the nine months ended April 30, 2009 consisted of revenues, loans from our officers and directors and production loans.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,998,072 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $952,779 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The increase in cash flow used in operations was primarily attributable to an increase in production costs, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, and increases in accounts payable and deferred revenues. Cash provided by financing activities was $2,060,175 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as compared to $1,053,881 for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The funds were obtained from officers and directors, Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. and investors and were partially offset by repayments to each of them.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a current net loss of $4,871,307 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, as well as negative working capital of $5,673,452 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,096,453 as of April 30, 2009, along with net losses for the prior two years of $1,686,974 and $2,504,170. Additionally, on December 15, 2008 the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued a release, and the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania announced, that they had charged seven individuals and two corporations with engaging in three separate fraudulent schemes to manipulate the market for publicly traded securities through the payment of prearranged kickbacks. The defendants include National Lampoon, Inc. and Daniel S. Laikin. Furthermore, on January 9, 2009 our board of directors decided to voluntarily delist our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from NYSE Amex Equities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital and revenue. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our capital requirements for the next 12 months have been and will continue to be significant. We will need to obtain financing to fund our cash needs and continue our operations. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing or loans from our stockholders or other sources may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. We do not currently have any committed sources of financing available. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to continue our operations is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of April 30, 2009, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of April 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

In October 2008, we engaged an internal controls consultant to assist in our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Specifically, the consultant was engaged to document our system of internal controls, identify material weaknesses, propose and implement remediation of the weaknesses, develop tests of our key controls, analyze the testing and train our personnel to maintain the system and tests. In October 2008, we received a report from our internal controls consultant that stated we have material weaknesses in our system of internal controls. A material weakness, as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Based upon the report of the consultant and management assessment, we have identified the following material weaknesses:

Insufficient disaster recovery or backup of core business functions,

Lack of segregation of duties,

Lack of a purchase order system or procurement process, and

Lack of documented and reviewed system of internal controls.

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control

No change in internal control over financial reporting was made during the third quarter of the 2009 fiscal year that materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
