FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Some of the statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10QSB discuss future events and developments, including our future business strategy and our ability to generate revenue, income and cash flow. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as "may," "could," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "the Company's future success depends," "seeks to continue," or the negative of these words or phrases, or comparable words or phrases. These statements are only predictions that are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments about future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. Actual events or results may differ materially. Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to vary from the forward-looking statements include:
 
·  
a decline in the general state of the economy, which impacts the amount of money spent by consumers for entertainment products,
 
·  
whether we will be able to raise capital or debt film financing as we need it,
 
·  
whether the entertainment products we produce or to which we license our brand will generate significant sales,
 
·  
whether our subsidiary, National Lampoon Networks, Inc., will be able to continue its relationships with its current advertisers and continue to attract new advertisers,
 
·  
whether we will continue to receive the services of our executive officers and directors, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, Daniel S. Laikin and our President, Bruce Long,
 
·  
unanticipated increases in development, production or marketing expenses related to our various business activities, and other factors which will be outside of our control.
 
In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider the factors identified above as well as those risks outlined in the section of this quarterly report titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation". Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. You should carefully review the risk factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and in other documents it files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NATIONAL LAMPOON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of National Lampoon, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of January 31, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 have been included. The results of operations for the six month period ended January 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended July 31, 2006 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for that period.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's net loss of $6,859,085 and $8,669,170 in the prior two fiscal years, accumulated deficit of $38,762,465, net loss of $9,351, and negative working capital of $5,204,872 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our independent auditors have included a going concern explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2006. We are currently devoting efforts to achieving profitable operations which includes arranging film financing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital and revenue. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. As of January 31, 2007 we had cash on hand of approximately $645,123. In order to satisfy future capital requirements, management is actively pursuing and has entered into discussions with Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. (Note L) regarding additional financing for film production costs.
 
NOTE B - CAPITALIZED PRODUCTION COSTS
 
The Company capitalized all production costs. In accordance with the guidance set forth in SOP 00-2 paragraphs 33 and 39(b) for episodic television series, ultimate revenue can include estimates for the secondary markets once the Company can demonstrate through its history or through industry norms that the number of episodes produced, plus those for which a firm commitment exists, can be licensed in the secondary market.
 
In the 2005 fiscal year the Company determined, in accordance with the guidelines of paragraph 39(b), that it had produced enough episodes to allow it to license the series in a secondary market. The Company made this determination based on historical sales for similar projects, with a similar number of episodes produced and management estimates the ultimate revenues using this data.
 
The Company began to capitalize production costs in accordance with SOP 00-2 paragraphs 38 to 40, based on the ultimate revenues it estimated using historical data that would be generated from the initial and secondary markets by each episodic television series for produced episodes. Using SOP 00-2, the Company amortizes such capitalized production costs in accordance with the provisions included in paragraphs 34 through 37 by the film forecast method, revising the estimates of ultimates each period as necessary to reflect the most current information available. The Company evaluates such costs for impairment in accordance with paragraph 44 if any events or circumstances, such as those set forth in paragraph 43 indicate that the fair value of the project may be less than the unamortized amounts remaining on the Company's books.
 
The portion of the costs of the Company's completed films that are expected to be amortized during the upcoming 12 months is $2,040,849.
 
Production costs on theatrical films in production and development were $2,412,069 at January 31, 2007 and production costs for the Company's National Lampoon Network product were $51,017 at January 31, 2007.
 
The Company expects to amortize within three years 90% of unamortized film costs for released films.
 
NOTE C - CONTROLLED COMPANY STATUS
 
The Company is a “controlled company” as that term is defined in Section 801(a) of the Rules of the American Stock Exchange. Three of its directors, Daniel S. Laikin, Timothy S. Durham and Paul Skjodt, control over 50% of the voting power of National Lampoon, Inc. As a controlled company, the Company is not subject to Section 804 of the Rules of the American Stock Exchange. Section 804 requires that nominees to the Board of Directors be made by either a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors. Instead, nominees to the Board of Directors are nominated in accordance with the terms of that certain Voting Agreement entered into on May 17, 2002 among Daniel S. Laikin, Paul Skjodt, Timothy S. Durham, Ronald Holzer, DC Investment, LLC, NL Acquisition Group LLC, Samerian LLP, Diamond Investments, LLC, Christopher R. Williams, Helen C. Williams, DW Leasing Company, LLC, Judy B. Laikin (all of whom are collectively referred to in this discussion as the "NLAG Stockholders") and James P. Jimirro. The Voting Agreement was entered into in conjunction with the reorganization transaction that took place on May 17, 2002. According to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the NLAG Stockholders agree to vote for Mr. Jimirro and two directors nominated by Mr. Jimirro and, conversely, Mr. Jimirro agrees to vote for three directors nominated by the NLAG Stockholders. Since the termination of Mr. Jimirro's employment agreement and payment of all amounts due him, the NLAG Stockholders can now nominate and vote for a seventh director. The Voting Agreement will terminate on the date as of which Mr. Jimirro personally ceases to own beneficially (whether by reason of his death or otherwise) at least 100,000 shares of common stock. Mr. Jimirro owned 202,245 shares of the Company's common stock as of January 31, 2007. The Voting Agreement prevents the Company from having a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders (other than the NLAG Stockholders and Mr. Jimirro) or an independent committee whose purpose is to nominate director candidates.

As of January 31, 2007, the Company owed Timothy Durham, a director, approximately $60,794 in principal and $1,791 in interest. The obligation to Mr. Durham is payable on demand. During the six months ending January 31, 2007, $441,706 of principal and $45,294 interest had been paid to Mr. Durham.
 
As of January 31, 2007, the Company owed Dan Laikin, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, approximately $599,447 in principal and $16,345 in interest. The obligation to Mr. Laikin is payable on demand. During the six months ending January 31, 2007, $111,888 of principal and no interest had been paid to Mr. Laikin.
 
NOTE D - IMPAIRMENT
 
The Company tests for impairment of the National Lampoon(TM) trademark in accordance with SFAS 142 and 144 paragraphs 16 to 21, estimating the future cash flows from the trademark to test the recoverability of the intangible assets. The valuation of the trademark includes estimates of cash flows over the remaining expected life based on prior revenue generated from the film library using the trademark and trademark licensing fees.
 
The Company evaluates film costs for impairment in accordance with paragraphs 43 and 44 of SOP 00-2. The Company determines if any event has occurred that would indicate that the fair value of the film costs is less than the carrying value of the project, using estimated ultimate revenue based on historical data.
 
The Company determined that there was no impairment of the National Lampoon(TM) as of January 31, 2007. During the six months ending January 31, 2007, one film was released that did not perform as expected. As such, the total amount of amortization of capitalized production costs in the accompanying statement of operations of $405,897 for the three months and $420,269 for the six months ending January 31, 2007 represents a write down of unamortized production costs to reflect the current estimate of its future revenue. The revised net book value as of January 31, 2007 of this film is $97,000 and is included in capitalized production costs in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
NOTE E - STOCK OPTIONS
 
As of January 31, 2007, the Company had two stock option and long-term incentive plans that permit the grant of stock options and other equity awards to certain employees, officers and non-employee directors, and consultants which are described more fully below. Prior to August 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB Opinion No. 25), and related Interpretations, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). The intrinsic value method requires recognition of compensation expense over the applicable vesting period for the difference between the exercise price of the stock option and the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Since the exercise price of our stock options is equal to the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, the Company has not historically recognized compensation costs associated with share based awards, with the exception of some restricted share units.
 
Effective August 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS No. 123 (R)), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under such transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2007 includes: (a) compensation cost for all stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, August 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or after August 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on August 1, 2006, the Company's net income from operations before income taxes and net loss for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 is approximately $61,304 lower and $122,608 lower, respectively than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25. The $61,304 charge for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and the $122,608 charge for the six months ended January 31, 2007 consisted of the recognition of compensation expense of $122,608 associated with stock options granted in previous years. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 would have been $0.01and $0.02 higher, respectively than if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123(R).
 

SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were no tax benefits realized from the deduction of amounts related to share based payments in the three months ended January 31, 2007. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and upon issuance of the restricted share units pursuant to the agreements, an unamortized compensation expense equivalent to the market value of the shares on the date of grant was charged to stockholders' equity as unearned compensation and amortized over the applicable vested periods. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on August 1, 2006, the Company transferred the remaining unearned compensation balance in its stockholders' equity to additional paid in capital.

Beginning August 1, 2006, the Company records forfeitures in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) by estimating the forfeiture rates for share-based awards upfront and recording a true-up adjustment for the actual forfeitures. In the three months ended January 31, 2007, the calculation of forfeitures did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed-form option valuation model (Black-Scholes) based on the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The following table represents the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted during the six months ended January 31, 2007:

On January 30, 2002 our Board of Directors approved the J2 Communications Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The Equity Incentive Plan was approved by our stockholders on April 25, 2002.The Equity Incentive Plan has a term of 10 years and is currently administered by our Board of Directors, which shall be referred to in this discussion as the "Administrator". Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator may grant to eligible persons, which include employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors, awards of options (which may be qualified or non-qualified, depending upon whether or not the eligible person is an employee), stock appreciation rights (commonly known as "SARs") or deferred common stock or restricted common stock. 1,500,000 shares of our common stock were originally set aside for grants made under the Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares of common stock set aside for grants was increased to 2,500,000 in the 2004 fiscal year. In September 2004 our Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split, making 5,000,000 shares of common stock available for grants.
 
 
The 2005 Plan is administered and interpreted by a committee consisting of two or more members of the Board but if no committee is appointed, then the Board administers and interprets the 2005 Plan. The committee has the authority to designate the persons eligible to receive awards, grant awards, impose limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any award, interpret and administer the 2005 Plan and delegate all or a portion of its authority to take these actions to one or more of our executive officers who are also directors. Awards consist of grants of shares of our common stock, either as a bonus or as compensation for services rendered and options. The committee may subject shares of common stock granted as awards to vesting conditions. If vesting conditions are not satisfied, we may require the award recipient to forfeit the unvested shares. Option grants may also be subject to vesting conditions. The exercise price of any option may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options may only be exercised for cash.

Page 8

The Board has the authority, without shareholder approval, to amend the 2005 Plan to increase the number of shares to be reserved and issued under it.
 
Under the Equity Incentive Plan and the 2005 Plan, we expensed $339,091 and $36,105 during the three month period ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $600,332 and $104,840 during the six month period ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively for services rendered by non-employees utilizing the guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in statement 123 as originally issued and EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services".
 
NOTE F - FILM FINANCING
 
The Company has formed entities with third parties where it does not own the majority of the entity, but will license the use of the name “National Lampoon” to the entity. However, because of the importance of the National Lampoon(TM) name to the Company, the Company will exercise day-to-day operational control over the entity. This control will include locating operations on the Company's premises, and utilizing both the staff and property of the Company. The Company integrates these entities operations with its operations and makes all the decisions necessary to carry out their business activities. The Company provides all the accounting functions, including making all accounting policy decisions, determining any estimates affecting the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and maintaining all accounting records. The Company also establishes credit with vendors or uses its vendors to provide services to the entities. Additionally, the entities use the post-production equipment and other post-production facilities on the Company's premises. Based on the foregoing, the Company has determined that although it does not exercise control by a majority of the voting rights, it has more than a significant influence and accordingly the Company consolidates these entities financial results with the Company's.
 
The Company seeks to utilize third party financing to produce its films, thereby reducing the financial risk associated with motion picture production. In order to maintain and improve its brand name, the Company maintains control of all business and creative elements associated with film production and distribution. In contrast, when the Company licenses its name to a film, it has little or no operational or creative control. For both produced and licensed films, the Company may also distribute and/or sell the distribution rights throughout the world wide exhibition market.  If we determine that we have significant control of a film project throughout the production, finance or distribution, we account for the transactions of the film at gross on its financial statements. Accordingly, for those projects that it has significant control, the Company reports all transactions at gross amounts relating to the production and sale in its consolidated financial statements.
 
The production financing was recorded against capitalized production costs.
 
NOTE G - NET INCOME OR LOSS PER SHARE
 
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated using the treasury method and are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share is $0.28 and $0.09 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per share is $0.20 and $0.54 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same at January 31, 2007 and 2006, as common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation due to the fact that they are anti-dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 9,411,822 and 9,715,768 common shares during the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, and options and warrants to purchase 8,304,039 and 9,859,954 common shares during the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 7,450,431 and 8,178,711 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 six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
At January 31, 2007, there are 63,607 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares and 193,347 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares. Upon conversion of the 63,607 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, 3,583,491common shares would be issuable. Upon conversion of the 193,347 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, 3,866,940 common shares would be issuable. This would result in a diluted weighted average number of shares of 14,806,851 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 14,704,398 for the six months ended January 31, 2007.
 
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 three and six months ended January 31, 2007 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE H - ACCRUED SERIES B AND C DIVIDENDS
 
Dividends accrue on the Company's Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company accrued dividends on a daily basis and will continue to do so until the date at which the Series B or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is converted, until a liquidation event occurs, or, in the case of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, until the redemption date (although the redemption date is not defined and there is no right of redemption as to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock). Dividends accrue at the rate of 9% per annum on the sum of the original purchase price of the Series B or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (compounding annually). Dividends that accrue on the Company's Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock must be paid with our common stock. During the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2007, the Company accrued $318,029 and $643,031, respectively of Series B and Series C dividends. Upon conversion of 31,414 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, accrued dividends were reduced by $220,104. At January 31, 2007, the Company had accrued $2,863,970 representing the total value of the dividends for Series B and Series C dividends.

NOTE L - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In October 2006, the Company invested $800 in Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc., (“Red Rock”) which was then merged into a publicly traded entity classified as a development stage company. The investment represents approximately 11,769,236 shares or 19.5% of the total outstanding shares of Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. Three members of National Lampoon’s board of directors, Robert Levy, Tim Durham and Daniel Laikin, also own stock in Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. The Company recorded the transaction under the equity method due to the determination they had significant influence, and recognized its proportionate share of the investee’s losses not to exceed the $800 investment. In addition, the Company’s investment had been determined to not be a variable interest entity in accordance with FIN46(R) since Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. was not formed for the primary benefit of the Company, and the Company does not have an obligation to absorb the losses, nor receive any return. The fair market value of each share of Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. is $2.53 as of January 31, 2007. Included in the accompanying balance sheet as of January 31, 2007 are notes payable to Red Rock Pictures Holdings, Inc. of $781,758. In September 2006, Red Rock entered into a sub lease agreement with National Lampoon, Inc. for office space at $2,000 per month.
 
NOTE M - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Hinchy v. Collison, Lovett, National Lampoon, etc. (San Bernardino Superior Court Case No. RCV098387). The Complaint was filed on October 5, 2006. We were served with the Complaint in November 2006. We filed an answer on December 11, 2006. The plaintiff claims that our negligence caused property damage to a recreational vehicle he owned. The matter is presently in the discovery stage and no trial date has been set. We strongly dispute the claims asserted and are vigorously defending this action.
 
Cinergy Creative, Inc. and Leslie Allen v. National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc., National Lampoon, Inc., Majestic Entertainment, Inc. and Lorenzo Doumani (Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. SC091496). This complaint was filed on October 20, 2006. The plaintiffs allege causes of action for alter ego, breach of written contract, breach of oral contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quantum merit, fraud and deceit based on promises made without intention to perform, intentional misrepresentation, slander per se, libel per se, breach of confidence, declaratory relief, conversion, untrue or misleading advertising, unfair competition and negligence. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege that we and our co-defendants induced them to set aside other projects so that they would spend their time working on projects for the benefit of us and our co-defendants. The plaintiffs also allege that they were promised a share of profits from the projects and/or a "partnership" interest in them. The plaintiffs allege that their damages are in excess of $2,000,000. A mandatory settlement conference is scheduled for March 2007 where we intend to vigorously defend this action as we believe that it is without merit.
 
The Screen Actor’s Guild (“SAG”) has filed claims against National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc. ("Clubhouse") for unpaid wages and pension, health and welfare benefits incurred for the filming of “Monster House” aka “Trick or Treat”.  SAG alleges that certain actors were not paid in full and are owed more compensation, expenses and benefits under the SAG agreement.  Clubhouse disputes these claims and intends to vigorously defend this action.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation 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(TM) 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 are pursuing this plan as follows:
 
Motion Picture Production
 
We produce feature films. We have interests in production related two entities, National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc., which produced the film “Monster Night” aka “Trick or Treat”, and Totally Baked, LLC, which is producing the film currently titled “Totally Baked”. “Monster Night” was released in the fall of 2006 and “Totally Baked” is expected to be released in April 2007. The Company is also currently in production on a feature film currently titled “Bag Boy” which was financed by National Lampoon and Red Rock Picture Holdings, Inc. and is expected to be released during the second half of 2007. We are in preproduction for the film “Ratko, The Dictator’s Son” and are expected to commence production in May 2007. We also earn revenues from providing producer/manager services for films that do not carry our brand.
 
We also own 19% of Red Rock Picture Holdings, Inc. (sometimes referred to in this report as “Red Rock”), a development stage company formed in August 2006. Red Rock was formed for the purpose of providing financing and consulting services to the production and exploitation of motion pictures. It is our intention to enter into a non-exclusive agreement whereby Red Rock will provide financing for National Lampoon motion picture productions.
 
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, respectively revenues derived from producer and management fees totaled approximately $6,000 and $45,000 or less than 1% of all the revenues we earned during the respective periods.
 
Licensing
 
We derive 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. With the exception of one film in production as of January 31, 2007 and a film produced by National Lampoon Clubhouse, Inc., motion pictures that carry our brand have been produced and financed by third parties. We license the National Lampoon(TM) brand, as well as content from our library, for use in a wide variety of products including movies, television programming, live events, radio broadcasts, recordings, electronic games, and other consumer products. We anticipate granting fewer new licenses as we begin increasing the number of our own productions in the future.
 
For the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, revenues derived from our licensing and royalties (exclusive of revenues derived from our publishing activities) totaled approximately $312,000 and $3,422,000 or approximately 32% and 67% of the revenues we earned during the period. A significant portion of this revenue was realized from a settlement relating to royalties earned during periods prior to September 30, 2004 for a National Lampoon licensed film.
 
National Lampoon Networks
 
National Lampoon Networks, Inc. (sometimes referred to in this report as "NLN") includes the National Lampoon Network, which is made up of four internet destination sites with the names National Lampoon.com, TOGA TV, the National Lampoon Humor Network and Knucklehead video. We sell advertising space on these sites in the form of video streamed commercials along with banner advertisements. We believe that we provide an appealing platform to those advertisers who want their commercial messages to reach the college age market. For those businesses targeting the college market, NLN provides an integrated marketing platform that includes internet advertisers, on-air advertising, and field marketing.
 
We recently entered into a content distribution agreement with AOL whereby we launched the National Lampoon Video Channel on the AOL video service. We sell advertising space, including video streaming, on AOL's service.

Page 14

 
NLN also has more than 200 affiliated college and other television stations, reaching nearly 2 million college students in their dormitories and other places of residence.
 
Aside from providing an outlet for advertisers targeting the college market, NLN develops, produces and distributes comedic television programming to college audiences through its network. AV Squad, Greek Games, College Town and Master Debaters are among some of the television and internet programming that we developed and produced and are now distributing in the retail market.
 
For the three and six month period ended January 31, 2007, revenues derived from National Lampoon Networks, exclusive of licensing revenues, totaled approximately $638,000 and $1,481,000 or approximately 65% and 29% of all the revenues we earned during the respective periods.
 
Travel Services
 
During the academic year we may market, advertise and promote products for corporate customers at major spring break locations utilizing our market expertise in the college and young adult market.
 
Since spring break activities begin in the third quarter of our 2006 fiscal year, no revenue was earned during this three or six month period ending January 31, 2007.
 
Publishing
 
In October 2002, we entered into an agreement with Rugged Land LLC to publish six National Lampoon books over a three-year period based on new and established National Lampoon comedic content. We have released four books under this agreement, including 1964 High School Reunion Year Book, National Lampoon's Book of Love, National Lampoon's Big Book of True Facts and National Lampoon's Encyclopedia of Humor.
 
During the 2006 fiscal year we began publishing our books. As of January 31, 2007, we have released five books including National Lampoon's Saddam Dump[Saddam Hussein's Trial Blog], National Lampoon's Magazine Rack, National Lampoon's Jokes Jokes Jokes, National Lampoon’s Not Fit For Print and National Lampoon Favorite Cartoons of the 21st Century. Eight other books are currently in development for future release.
 
For the three and six months ending January 31, 2007, revenues derived from our publishing activities totaled approximately $32,000 and $170,000, respectively, or approximately 3% of all the revenues we earned during the respective periods.
 
Radio
 
In March 2005, NL Radio, LLC was formed. We hold a 25% interest in this entity. NL Radio, LLC launched an entertainment radio format under our brand. We have licensed the content of our radio library, as well as certain domain names, URL's and websites, to NL Radio, LLC for this purpose. NL Radio, LLC used samples of the programming, called "pilot programming," to introduce the format and content to radio networks and local stations. If the programming is sold to a network it may be syndicated, meaning that it would be distributed to stations affiliated with the network. Purchasers of the programming may broadcast segments of the programming at their discretion, such as during "drive time" or as late night programming. Programming was launched on XM radio in fiscal 2007. Our radio library includes approximately 80 hours of National Lampoon radio programming consisting primarily of one to two minute short comedy routines and one hour comedy sketches and parodies. Revenue will be earned from ad sales, direct response advertising and product promotion arrangements. We will receive a licensing fee equal to 8% of the gross receipts received by NL Radio, LLC from all sources in connection with any use of our brand. No revenue has been realized from NL Radio, LLC.
 
Library
 
Our library includes 247 issues of National Lampoon Magazine, which we continue to use to generate new content for movies, television programming and other licensing opportunities. Our library also consists of television programming, including more than 300 hours of footage produced for National Lampoon Networks, radio programming, recordings and other materials.

Business Objective
 
We intend to provide National Lampoon(TM) comedic content to as many consumers as possible by expanding the use of our brand. The following describes the ways in which we plan to achieve this goal.
 
·  
We plan to continue to expand National Lampoon Networks by adding new internet sites and driving traffic to these sites. We will concentrate our efforts on measured marketing and sell available advertising and marketing space on our expanding network. We will continue to create, produce and acquire programming for all of our web sites as well as our college network and capitalize on our expertise in the college and young adult market to continue to grow revenue in these areas.
 
·  
We intend to expand our film library by increasing the number of film products we produce internally. We currently have one film in production and are actively developing three new projects and have finalized domestic and international distribution arrangements. The domestic distribution arrangement includes a number of home video distributors and retailers and a domestic cable provider. In some cases we are guaranteed a minimum payment upon delivery of the film to the respective broadcaster or distributor.
 
·  
We plan to capitalize on our reputation and relationships with independent studios and other multimedia companies to expand the use of the National Lampoon(TM) brand.
 
·  
We plan to create new licensing opportunities in markets outside of publishing, film and television, such as games, records, radio programming and live events.
 
·  
National Lampoon Networks continues to provide field marketing campaigns for various advertisers.
 
·  
We started publishing and distributing books we created to continue capitalizing on the National Lampoon brand.
 
·  
NL Radio, LLC plans to launch an entertainment radio format using our brand. We own a 25% interest in NL Radio, LLC.

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 consolidated financial statements.
 
Production Costs
 
We capitalize all television production costs. In accordance with the guidance set forth in SOP 00-2 paragraphs 33 and 39(b) for episodic television series, ultimate revenue can include estimates for the secondary markets once we can demonstrate through our history or through industry norms that the number of episodes produced, plus those for which a firm commitment exists, can be licensed in the secondary market. In the 2005 fiscal year we determined, in accordance with the guidelines of paragraph 39(b), that we had produced enough episodes to allow us to license the series in a secondary market. We made this determination based on historical sales for similar projects, with a similar number of episodes produced, and management estimates the ultimate revenues using this data.
 
We began to capitalize production costs in accordance with SOP 00-2 paragraphs 38 to 40, based on the ultimate revenues we estimated using historical data that would be generated from the initial and secondary markets by each episodic television series for produced episodes. Using SOP 00-2, we amortize such capitalized production costs in accordance with the provisions included in paragraphs 34 through 37 by the film forecast method, revising the estimates of ultimates each period as necessary to reflect the most current information available. We evaluate such costs for impairment in accordance with paragraph 44 if any events or circumstances, such as those set forth in paragraph 43, indicate that the fair value of the project may be less than the unamortized amounts remaining on the books.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue from National Lampoon Networks and film distribution is derived from broadcast licensing agreements, royalties, distribution fees, the sale of distribution rights and the sale of home videos. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the requirements of SOP 00-2. Revenue from broadcast licensing agreements, together with related costs, are recognized once the licensing periods have commenced, the programs are delivered and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from internet advertising sales is recognized once the flight or advertisement campaign is completed based on the terms of the contract. We have not engaged in any barter transactions. Revenue from royalties and distribution fees is recognized when received. Revenue from the sale of distribution rights is recognized when the film or television programs are substantially complete, the investors have irrevocably committed to acquire distribution rights and there is reasonable assurance of collecting the proceeds.
 
Impairment
 
We test our trademark for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142 and 144 paragraphs 16 to 21, by estimating the future cash flows from the trademark to test the recoverability of the intangible asset. The valuation of the trademark includes estimates of cash flows over the remaining expected life based on prior revenues generated from the film library using the trademark and trademark licensing fees.
 
We evaluate capitalized production costs for impairment in accordance with paragraph 44 of SOP 00-2 if any events or circumstances, such as those set forth in paragraph 43 of SOP 00-2 indicate that the fair value of the project may be less than the unamortized amounts remaining on our books.
 
Reorganization Transaction
 
In the discussion below, we sometimes refer to the "Reorganization Transaction". The Reorganization Transaction occurred on May 17, 2002, when a group of investors that we refer to as "the NLAG Group" completed the acquisition of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase our common stock, thereby gaining voting control of our company.

Three and Six Months Ended January 31, 2007 as compared to the Three and Six Months Ended January 31, 2006
 
Licensing and Publishing Revenues
 
Licensing and publishing revenues for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 were approximately $344,000 and $3,592,000 compared to $300,000 and $495,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006, representing an increase of 15% and 626%, respectively. The increase for the three month period ending January 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to increased royalties. The increase for the six month period was primarily attributable to a settlement of outstanding royalties. We also realized $5,000 and $45,000 in revenue in the three and six months ending January 31, 2007, respectively from the publication of our books. There was no comparative publishing revenue in the three and six months ending January 31, 2006 because the initial books were released during the fourth quarter of the 2006 fiscal year.
 
Costs related to licensing revenues increased to $97,000 and $158,000 during the three and six months ending January 31, 2007 compared to ($2,000) and $85,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006. This represents an increase of 4,950% and 86%, respectively. The increase for the three month period ending January 31, 2007 is in line with the increase in licensing revenue. For the six months ending January 31, 2007, the increase is primarily due to royalties we owe to artists from the $2.9 million settlement of outstanding royalties due to us.
 
Advertising and Promotion Revenues
 
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, National Lampoon Network's combined advertising and promotion revenues were $638,000 and $1,481,000 compared to $478,000 and $1,021,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006. This represents an increase of 49% and 45%, respectively. The increase in revenue for both the three and six month periods ending January 31, 2006 was a result of increased advertising revenue on internet websites, partially offset by a decrease in promotion revenues.
 
Costs related to advertising revenues include bandwidth usage fees, website development costs, and content conversion costs along with some amortization of capitalized television production costs. We incur costs related to promotion revenues based on direct costs of live events and promotion of third-party feature films, which are expensed as they are incurred. Cost of advertising and promotion revenue was approximately $502,000 and $1,217,000 during the three and six month period ending January 31, 2007 compared to $486,000 and $1,147,000 for the three and six month period ending January 31, 2006, representing an increase of 3% and 6%, respectively. This increase in costs is the result of lower costs associated with advertising revenue mostly offset by costs associated with promotional revenue.

Production Revenues
 
For the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, production revenues were approximately $6,000 and $45,000 as compared to $92,000 and $144,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006 or a decrease of 93% and 69%, respectively. We traditionally do not produce product unless we have a presale, minimum guarantee or co-production agreement in place. This reduces our risk as productions tend to be capital intensive. However, we are planning on expanding our productions and we have negotiated an output arrangement with a domestic cable provider which guarantees us a cable distribution outlet for our new product along with a minimum return on each new motion picture release. The output arrangement provides for a pre-negotiated minimum guarantee or sales price for the licensing of a specific media and territory. We have also negotiated home video distribution with a number of domestic retailers and distributors and have licensed international rights in several territories with minimum guarantees. For the video distribution, there is no minimum price guarantee but the arrangement provides us a video distribution outlet for our new product. In addition, we are negotiating with Red Rock to provide production financing. As these output and financing arrangements are signed, we will allocate additional internal resources to this segment of our business. For the three months and six months ending January 31, 2007, production revenues decreased due to the allocation of internal resources directed to the production of a feature film.
 
Amortization of capitalized film production costs for the three and six months ending January 31, 2007 was approximately $406,000 and $420,000, respectively. This represents the write-down during the three months ending January 31, 2007 of a “Trick or Treat” aka “Monster Night”, a film produced in the prior year. The write-down reflects our estimate of a revised and lower ultimate revenues. These lower revised ultimates are based on the results realized during film’s domestic release during the period and unsuccessful marketing efforts to international territories. Amortization of capitalized television production costs was approximately $0 and $14,000 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, as compared to approximately $57,000 and $152,000 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2006. The net book value and revised ultimates for “Trick or Treat” aka “Monster Night” is approximately $100,000.
 
Travel Services Revenues
 
We earned no revenue from this segment of our business during the six months and quarter ended January 31, 2007 as sponsorship and advertising revenues for travel related services are typically earned during spring break, which generally occurs in the third quarter of our fiscal year.
 
Other Costs and Expenses
 
Amortization of intangible assets, which consists of the costs of our acquisition of the "National Lampoon(TM)" trademark, was approximately $60,000 and $120,000 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $22,000 and $267,000 or 2% and 10% to $1,154,000 and $2,325,000 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 from $1,176,000 and $2,592,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2006. For the six month period ending January 31, 2007, the decrease resulted from a $313,000 decrease in the amortized of debt issuance costs which were fully amortized in the prior year, from lower rent, a result of the move of our Corporate headquarters in May 2006 to a building with lower occupancy costs and the closing of a New York office. For the three month period ending January 31, 2007, the savings realized from lower occupancy costs and headcount were partially offset by the higher information technology costs incurred as a result setting up our technology needs after our recent move of our corporate headquarters.
 
The provision for doubtful accounts for the three and six months ending January 31, 2007 totaled $122,000 and $156,000, compared to no provision and $76,000 for the three and six months ending January 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to the uncollectability of advertising and promotion sales and for producer fees recognized in the prior year for “Trick or Treat” aka “Monster Night”.
 
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, expenses totaling $400,000 and $723,000 were incurred from grants of options and warrants to employees, advisors and consultants as compared to expenses totaling $36,000 and $105,000 attributable to grants of options and warrants that were incurred during the three and months ended January 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to the implementation of SFAS No. 123R and grants of options to our chief executive officer pursuant to his employment contract and our former president pursuant to his severance and consulting agreement.
 
Interest income earned during the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 totaled $5,000 compared to interest income of $35,000 and $69,000 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2006. Interest income was realized in the prior period due to our increased cash position during the three and six month period ended January 31, 2006 as a result of the public offering completed on August 8, 2005. No similar capital infusion occurred during the period ended January 31, 2007.
 
For the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2007, we had net loss of $1,743,000 and $9,000 as compared to a net loss of $1,048,000 and $2,927,000 for the three and six month period ended January 31, 2006. This represents an increase in net loss of $695,000 or 66% for the three months ending January 31, 2007 and a decrease in net loss of 2,918,000 or 100% for the six months ending January 31, 2007. The decrease in net loss for the six month period resulted primarily from the significant increase in revenue associated with license fees from a settlement along with the increase in internet related advertising revenue. The increase in net loss for the three months ending January 31, 2007 was a result of increased costs for the issuance of stock, warrants and options, the write down of unamortized production costs and increased costs related licensing partially offset by an increase in advertising and promotion revenue.

Page 19

 
During the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 for preferred shareholders of $322,000 and $643,000 during the three and six month period ended January 31, 2007 and $328,000 and $656,000 during the same period in 2006. The addition of the accrued dividend resulted in a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2,065,000 and $652,000 or $0.28 and $0.09 per basic and fully diluted share for the three and six month period ended January 31, 2007, versus a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,376,000 and $3,583,000 or $0.20 and $0.54 per basic and fully diluted share for the three and six month period ended January 31, 2006.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
With the exception of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2007, we have not generated positive cash flow from operations over the past few years. Our principal sources of working capital during the six month period ended January 31, 2007 consisted of loans from our officers and directors.
 
For the six month period ended January 31, 2007, our net cash used in operating activities was $532,000 as compared to $3,493,000 during the period ended January 31, 2006. The decrease in cash flow usage from operations was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue partially offset by an increase in cash used for operations. Cash provided by financing activities was $1,118,000 for the six month period ended January 31, 2007, as compared to $5,295,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2006. The funds for the current period were obtained from officers and directors and a related party for film financing partially offset by loan repayments for loans from officers and directors. The funds for the period ended January 31, 2006 were primarily obtained from a note offering offset by the partial payment of notes payable to officers and directors.
 
As of January 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of approximately $645,000, which includes the payment of a settlement. We believe these funds along with additional loans from our Chief Executive Officer and one member of our board of directors will be adequate to fund our ongoing operations and capital requirements for the next twelve months. We have no commitment for said funds. If no funds are made available, then we may not be able to continue to operate as a going concern.
 
Historically, our principal source of funds used for operations and working capital has been loans received from Daniel S. Laikin, our Chief Executive Officer, and Timothy Durham, a director, and a shareholder. During the six months ended January 31, 2007 our principal source of funds used for operations and working capital has been the payment of a settlement. The aggregate amount of the loans and accrued interest owed to these individuals at January 31, 2007, is approximately $678,000. These obligations are payable on demand; we plan to pay these obligations from future revenues.
 
Our financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 contained an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a "going concern." This qualification may impact our ability to obtain future financing.
 
Commitments for Capital Expenditures
 
As of January 31, 2007, our capital expenditures are projected to be $100,000 for the 2007 fiscal year. These expenditures will relate to the purchase of fixed assets such as equipment and furniture.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions such as guarantees, commitments, lease and debt agreements or other agreements that could trigger an adverse change in our credit rating, earnings, cash flows or stock price, including requirements to perform under standby agreements.
 
Item 3 - Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
 
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
 
Our previous interim Chief Financial Officer resigned effective December 15, 2006. In January 2007, we contracted with another consultant to serve as our new interim Chief Financial Officer.
