Business Summary
J2 Communications was primarily engaged in the acquisition, production and distribution of videocassette programs for retail sale. In late 1990, the Company acquired National Lampoon, Inc. (NLI). NLI was primarily engaged in publishing the National Lampoon Magazine and related activities including the development and production of motion pictures. Subsequent to its acquisition of NLI, the Company de-emphasized the videocassette and publishing segments of its business and has primarily focused its activities on exploitation of the National Lampoon trademark including the October 1999 launch of its website, nationallampoon.com.
