Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing
Rule or Standard
On February 27, 2008 we received a letter from the American Stock
Exchange which indicated that we do not meet certain of the American
Stock Exchange’s continued listing standards as set forth in Part 10 of
the Amex Company Guide. Specifically, we are not in compliance with
Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide because we have sustained
losses which are substantial in relation to our overall operations or
our existing financial resources, or our financial condition has become
so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the American
Stock Exchange, as to whether we will be able to continue our operations
and/or meet our obligations as they mature.
We have until March 27, 2008 to provide the American Stock Exchange with
a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with the continued
listing standards. Compliance must be achieved no later than August 27,
2008. If we either fail to submit a plan or if we submit a plan and the
staff of the American Stock Exchange determines that it does not
adequately address these issues, we may be subject to delisting
proceedings. Furthermore, if our plan is accepted but we are not in
compliance with the continued listing standards at the conclusion of the
plan period or if we do not make progress consistent with the plan
during the plan period, the staff of the American Stock Exchange will
initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. We may appeal the staff
determination to initiate delisting proceedings.
We expect to submit a plan to the American Stock Exchange to regain
compliance with the continued listing standards on or before March 27,
2008.

Exhibit 99
Amex Notifies National Lampoon, Inc. That the Company is Not in Compliance with the Amex Company Guide
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Lampoon, Inc. (Amex: NLN), the leading brand in comedy, announced today that on February 27, 2008, it received a letter from the American Stock Exchange which indicated that the Company does not meet certain of the American Stock Exchange’s continued listing standards as set forth in Part 10 of the Amex Company Guide. The Company will provide the American Stock Exchange with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 27, 2008, demonstrating that the Company will achieve compliance by the given deadline of August 27, 2008.
“We have come a long way building our businesses and growing our revenues, and we are finally seeing the results of this,” stated Daniel Laikin, National Lampoon Chief Executive Officer. “We are already in the process of strengthening our balance sheet through exercise of warrants and conversion of preferred dividends and stock, along with the revenue growth from our film and online media divisions, which will all be part of the plan we submit.”
The Company expects to submit a plan to the American Stock Exchange to regain compliance with the continued listing standards on or before March 27, 2008. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide because it has sustained losses which are substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the American Stock Exchange, as to whether the Company will be able to continue its operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. If the Company either fails to submit a plan or if it submits a plan and the staff of the American Stock Exchange determines that the plan does not adequately address these issues, the Company may be subject to delisting proceedings. Furthermore, if the plan is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards at the conclusion of the plan period or if it does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the staff of the American Stock Exchange will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company may always appeal the staff determination to initiate delisting proceedings.
