SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The aggregate amount of shares purchased were 712,249 (the "Registrant Shares"). The sources of funding for the purchase of the Registrant Shares were the personal funds of Laikin, Skjodt, Durham, Williams, HCW and JBL, and the working capital of each of Samerian, Diamond and DW Leasing. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Registrants have reached an agreement to join National Lampoon Acquisition Group, LLC (the "Group") to explore available options to maximize shareholder value, including a lawsuit filed by the Group, Mr. Laikin and Mr. Skjodt against the Issuer and James P. Jimirro for fraud and breach of their March 5, 2001 Letter Agreement. Registrants may engage business and financial advisors, and legal counsel, to assist in their evaluation and consideration of available alternatives. Depending on the market price of the Shares and upon other conditions, Registrants may acquire additional Shares from time to time in the open market or otherwise or may seek to acquire Shares from the Issuer, at prices which Registrants may determine to be appropriate. In addition, depending upon market prices and other conditions, Registrants may dispose of Shares at any time and from time to time in the open market or otherwise at prices which Registrants may determine to be appropriate. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As of the close of business on November 20, 2001, Registrants may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 712,249 Shares, representing approximately 51.62% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 1,379,816 Shares stated to be outstanding as of October 23, 2001, by the Issuer in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2001).

JBL has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 26,000 Shares. Because Skjodt is a partner of Samerian, his ownership of interests in Samerian may, under SEC interpretations, be deemed beneficial ownership of the securities owned by Samerian. Skjodt specifically disclaims ownership of the securities described in this report as owned by Samerian. Because Durham holds a substantial interest in Diamond and DW Leasing, his ownership interest in Diamond and DW Leasing may, under SEC interpretations, be deemed beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Diamond and DW Leasing. Durham specifically disclaims ownership of the securities described in this report as owned by Diamond or DW Leasing.
