HOLLYWOOD MEDIA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION:
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Hollywood Media Corp. (“Hollywood Media”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Hollywood Media’s financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may result for the remainder of 2006. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Hollywood Media’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Hollywood Media’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hollywood Media, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its 51% owned subsidiary, Tekno Books, which is a partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and a minority interest has been established to reflect the outside ownership of Tekno Books. Hollywood Media’s 50% and 26.2% ownership interests in NetCo Partners and MovieTickets.com, respectively, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
(2)   RESTATEMENT:
     Following the recommendation of management and the concurrence of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, Hollywood Media made a determination to restate the previously filed unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (“Q2-05”) and the six months ended June 30, 2005 (“Y2-05”), originally included in Form 10-Q. The restatement is being made primarily to correct errors in the way Hollywood Media had previously accounted for Ticketing Business hotel and dinner voucher revenue, which were identified during the audit of Hollywood Media’s 2005 financial statements. The Company determined that hotel package and dinner voucher revenues were being improperly reported on a gross basis instead of a net basis. The restated transactions are described in detail below and have been grouped under headings for convenience only.

Table of Contents

     Revenue
    Ticketing net revenue has been reduced by $3,636,607 or 8.7% in the Y2-05 restated condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of a gross-up of hotel and dinner voucher revenue.
 
    Ticketing net revenue has been reduced by $2,002,100 or 8.5% in the Q2-05 restated condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of a gross-up of hotel and dinner voucher revenue.
     Cost of Revenues — Ticketing
    Cost of revenues — Ticketing has been decreased by $3,636,607 or 9.9% in the Y2-05 restated condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of a gross-up of hotel and dinner voucher revenue.
 
    Cost of revenues — Ticketing has been decreased by $2,002,100 or 9.6%, in the Q2-05 restated condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of a gross-up of hotel and dinner voucher revenue.

(3)   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
Share-Based Incentive Plan
     As of June 30, 2006, Hollywood Media has various stock option and incentive plans that provide for the granting of stock options and other stock awards for shares of Hollywood Media common stock for key personnel and directors. There were an aggregate of 1,490,469 shares remaining available for issuance under Hollywood Media’s stock incentive plans at June 30, 2006. The options may be either qualified incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock options granted to date generally have had an exercise price per share equal to the market value per share of the common stock on the date prior to grant and generally expire five years or ten years from the date of grant. Options awarded to Hollywood Media’s employees generally become exercisable in annual increments over a four-year period beginning one year from the grant date, although some are immediately exercisable and some vest based on other terms as specified in the option grants. Options awarded to directors become exercisable six months after date of grant.
Accounting for Share-Based Compensation
     On January 1, 2006, Hollywood Media adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R, “Share-Based Payments,” which replaced SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R was adopted using the modified prospective transition method, and accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. The modified prospective method requires the recognition of compensation cost for (i) share-based awards granted prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the fair value calculated on the grant date, and (ii) share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, also based on the fair value calculated on the grant date. Prior to January 1, 2006, Hollywood Media accounted for employee stock options under the provisions of APB 25. Under Hollywood Media’s plan, stock options are generally issued at the current market price on the grant date and have no intrinsic value at the grant date. Accordingly, Hollywood Media recorded no compensation expense under APB 25.
     For the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, Hollywood Media recorded $456,420 and $341,453 of stock-based compensation expense which caused net loss to increase by $456,420 and $341,453 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and net loss to increase by $456,420 and $341,453 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The recorded compensation expense caused basic and diluted earnings per share to decrease by $.02 and $.01 for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The recorded compensation expense did not have an impact on cash flows for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006.
     For periods prior to January 1, 2006, SFAS 148 required disclosure of the pro forma amount of net income and per share amounts including the amount of fair value based compensation expense that would have been recognized in those periods had compensation expense been

As of June 30, 2006, there was $476,422 total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.38 years.

     The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses various assumptions in the calculation of the fair value. There were 65,000 stock options granted during the six and three months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, there were 160,000 stock options granted during the six and three months ended June 30, 2005.
     Stock option exercises during the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006 resulted in the receipt of cash proceeds of $70,381 and $70,013, respectively. The intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the six and three months ended June 30, 2006 was $10,995 and $9,555, respectively. There were no tax benefits realized from stock option exercises for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the use of available net operating losses and the related valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 there were 450,000 and 550,000 shares of unvested common stock, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, 100,000 shares of common stock vested.
     In accordance with SFAS 123(R), unearned deferred compensation amounts of approximately $1.8 million previously classified as a contra-equity at December 31, 2005 were eliminated against additional paid-in capital, as the stock is not deemed to be issued until vesting requirements are satisfied.
(4)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     Principles of Consolidation
     Hollywood Media’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hollywood Media, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its 51% owned subsidiary, Tekno Books which is a partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and a minority interest has been established to reflect the outside

-10-


Table of Contents

ownership of Tekno Books. Hollywood Media’s 50% and 26.2% ownership interests in NetCo Partners and MovieTickets.com, respectively, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
     Loss Per Common Share
     SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
     Restricted shares are not included in the basic calculation until vesting occurs. There were 450,000 and 650,000 unvested restricted shares as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants of 4,186,771 and 4,607,832 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive.
     Accounting Estimates
     The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that the Company make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates and assumptions embodied in the accompanying financial statements, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, include: the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, useful lives of fixed assets, the adequacy of reserves for accounts receivable and self-insurance as well as Hollywood Media’s ability to realize the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets, accruals for compensation, contingencies and litigation, investments in less than 50% owned companies and other long-lived assets.
     Inventories Held for Sale and Deferred Ticket Costs
     Inventories held for sale consist primarily of Broadway tickets or other live theater tickets available for sale. Deferred ticket costs consists of tickets sold (subject to the performance occurring) to groups, individuals, and travel agencies for future performances which have been delivered to the customer or held by the Company as “will call.” Both are carried at cost using the specific identification method. Ticket inventory does not include movie tickets.
     The portion of receivables and inventory balances that relate to the sales of tickets to groups, individuals and travel agencies for Broadway and other live theatre shows are, with isolated exceptions, for shows or performances that take place at venues in New York, New York, a major metropolitan area reported as subject to the threat of terrorist acts from time to time by relevant U.S. Government agencies. Hollywood Media recognizes that a significant civil disturbance occurring in New York City could lead to closures of available performance venues for which it may not receive reimbursement of ticket costs and/or payment on outstanding receivables, and could adversely impact the normal conduct of its operations within New York City for an indefinite period of time.

Table of Contents

     Receivables
     Receivables consist of amounts due from: customers who have advertised on Hollywood Media’s websites and other media; MovieTickets.com for commissions due for ad sales on the MovieTickets.com website; and customers who have licensed content from Hollywood Media’s data syndication businesses, have purchased live theater tickets and amounts due from publishers relating to signed contracts, to the extent that the earnings process is complete and amounts are realizable. Receivables are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,370,982 and $1,891,996 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     Hollywood Media maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance includes principally all receivables 180 days overdue. The Company’s accounting for doubtful accounts contains uncertainty because management must use judgment to assess the collectibility of these accounts. When preparing these estimates, management considers a number of factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,370,982 and $1,891,996 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required that could materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different geographical regions.
     Property and Equipment
     Property and equipment are carried at cost and are divided into six categories. The categories and estimated service lives are as follows:
     
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
Equipment and software
  3 years
Website development
  3 years
Equipment under capital leases
  Term of lease
Leasehold improvements
  Term of lease
Internally developed software
  3 years upon implementation
     Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, which range from three to five years, on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the terms of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Table of Contents

     Goodwill and Intangible Assets
     Prior to December 31, 2001, goodwill had been amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which ranged from 10 to 40 years. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). Effective January 1, 2002, Hollywood Media adopted SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Hollywood Media has selected October 1 as the date upon which it conducts its annual impairment review. The Company’s annual impairment analysis did not result in an impairment charge for each of the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004.
     Revenue Recognition
     Revenue recognition policies for ticketing, syndication, advertising and book packaging and licensing, are set forth below.
     Ticketing. Ticket revenue is derived from the sale of live theater tickets for Broadway, off-Broadway and London shows to individuals, groups, travel agencies, tour groups and educational organizations. Proceeds from these sales received in advance of the corresponding performance activity are recorded as deferred revenue at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue in the period the performance of the show occurs.
     Gift certificate revenue is derived from the sale of gift certificates for Broadway, off-Broadway, London shows and Dinner and Show sales to individuals, groups, travel agencies, tour groups and corporate programs. Proceeds from these sales are included in “Deferred Revenue” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue in the period the performance of the show occurs.
     Hotel package revenue is derived from the sale of exclusive allocation rooms provided by New York City hotels to individuals and groups. Proceeds from these sales are included in “Customer Deposits” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue on a net basis on the day of departure from the hotel.
     Dinner voucher revenue is derived from the sale of dinner vouchers for meals at upscale restaurants in New York City to individuals and groups. Proceeds from these sales are included in “Customer Deposits” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue on a net basis on the date the voucher is presented, or upon expiration of the voucher.
     In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” This consensus provides guidance concerning under what circumstances a company should report revenue based on (a) the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of goods or services or (b) the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to the customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee. Hollywood Media’s existing accounting policies conform to the EITF consensus. Ticket

-13-


Table of Contents

revenue and cost of revenue-ticketing are recorded on a gross basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Hotel revenues packages and vouchers sold for New York restaurants are reported on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
     Syndication and Royalties. Syndication revenue is derived from the sale of the entertainment related content to other businesses. Revenue is recognized ratably throughout the life of the contract and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Royalty income is recognized pursuant to contract terms when it is reasonably assured, which is generally upon collection.
     Advertising. Advertising revenue is derived from the sale of advertising on Hollywood Media’s and MovieTickets.com’s websites and includes CinemasOnline which sells advertising on cinemas and live theater websites in the U.K. Advertising revenue is recognized over the period that the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant obligations of Hollywood Media remain and collection is reasonably assured. Hollywood Media’s obligations typically are based on or include guarantees of a minimum number of impressions or times that an advertisement is viewed by users of Hollywood Media’s websites. In these instances, depending on the form of the arrangement, revenue is recognized either based on the number of impressions delivered to the customer or number of times an advertisement is viewed by a user, or upon delivery of the required minimum numbers of impressions or times that an advertisement is viewed by a user.
     Book Packaging and Licenses. Licensing revenues in the form of non-refundable advances and other guaranteed royalty payments are recognized when the earnings process has been completed, which is generally upon the delivery of a completed manuscript and acceptance by the publisher. Non-guaranteed royalties based on sales of licensed products and on sales of books published directly by Hollywood Media are recognized as revenues when earned based on royalty statements or other notification of such amounts from the publishers.
     Revenue relating to Hollywood Media’s book licensing business is recognized when the earnings process is complete, typically when a publisher accepts a book for publishing. Advances received from publishers are recorded as deferred revenues until the book is accepted by the publisher. In the book licensing division, expenditures for co-editors and permission payments are also deferred and recorded as prepaid expenses until the book is accepted by the publisher, at which time such costs are expensed.
     Segment Information
     SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Disclosure regarding Hollywood Media’s business segments is contained in Note 10.
     Self-Insurance Accruals
     Hollywood Media maintains an accrual for self-insured retentions for its health benefits programs and limits its exposure by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. The estimate of the Company’s self-insurance liability contains uncertainty since management must

-14-


Table of Contents

use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. When estimating the Company’s self-insurance liability, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claim experience. The self-insurance program was initiated in June 2004. Management recorded the maximum amount of potential liability under the stop-loss insurance coverage due to the lack of historical claims experience data available for the current health care plan.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This Interpretation is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on the financial statements.
     In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments (“SFAS 155”) which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”) and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS 140”). SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
     In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS 154”) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements — An Amendment of APB Option No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (the adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements).
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS 153”). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future

-15-


Table of Contents

cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 (the adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements).
     In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 (the adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements).
(5)   ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS:
CinemasOnline Acquisition
     On November 23, 2005, Hollywood Media consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of the U.K. based CinemasOnline, a group of advertising sales and data services companies focused primarily on selling advertising on cinema and live theatre websites in the U.K. and Ireland. The acquisition is intended to establish CinemasOnline as a platform to expand Hollywood Media’s Internet Ad Sales and Data Businesses into Europe. CinemasOnline became a subsidiary of CinemaSource UK Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hollywood Media that was created to acquire the stock of CinemasOnline for this transaction. The aggregate purchase consideration was $3,900,068, including $366,408 of acquisition costs, of which $107,314 was held in an escrow account for potential claims that may be made against the seller. The $107,314 balance was not included in the allocation of the cost of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as it represents contingent consideration for which the contingency had not been resolved beyond a reasonable doubt as of June 30, 2006. On July 27, 2006, the entire balance was released to the seller. A reconciliation of the purchase price is provided below.

(6)   DEBT:
     Senior Unsecured Notes
     On November 23, 2005, Hollywood Media issued and sold $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”) for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $7,000,000. The notes carry an 8% interest rate and an initial 12 month term, on which interest is payable in quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2005. The principal is payable in cash or, at Hollywood Media’s option, in shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock valued on a per share basis at a 5% discount from the 20-day volume-weighted average market price per share of the common stock (“VWAP”) as of the payment date, subject to certain conditions to such option including but not limited to the requirement that the shares be registered for resale. Hollywood Media’s proceeds related to the issuance, net of issuance costs, was $6,595,690. The holders of the Senior Notes also received warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.29 per share. In March of 2006, Hollywood Media exercised its option under the terms of the Senior Notes, to extend the maturity date of the Senior Notes to May 23, 2007 in exchange for the delivery of additional five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock with an exercise price per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes are not convertible at the option of the holders.
     Upon issuance the Company recognized the value attributable to the 700,000 issued warrants in the amount of $1,865,037 as a discount against the Senior Notes. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model assuming a risk-free rate of 4.45 percent, an expected volatility of 69.4% and a five year life; the fair value of the warrants was determined to be $2.66 per share. Additional discount of $286,000 was recorded in conjunction with the 100,000 extension warrants issued in March of 2006. The Company valued the additional warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model assuming a risk-free rate of 4.73 percent, an expected volatility of 64.2% and an approximate five year life; the fair value of the

-18-

warrants was determined to be $2.86 per share. The debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is amortized over the life of the Senior Notes as interest expense using the effective yield method. The Company amortized the Senior Notes debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants of $625,341, and $284,167, respectively for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006 and no discount amortization was recorded for the six and three months ended June 30, 2005. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $1,258,404 and $1,597,745, respectively, of unamortized discount on the Senior Notes was reducing the face amount of Senior Notes, and is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the outstanding debt.
     The fair value of the warrants has been recorded as a derivative liability. The liability was accounted for as a derivative under the applicable standards due to the registration rights and potential net cash settlement of amounts due to warrant holders. The change in fair value during the six and three months ended June 30, 2006 was $344,000 and $584,000 of gain, respectively relating to the detachable warrants, which is classified as a “derivative liability” and marked to market through earnings in “other, net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
     In addition, $404,310 of issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the debt as a deferred debt issuance cost on the straight-line basis which approximates the interest method. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, $218,064 and $109,032, respectively, of debt issuance costs have been amortized as interest expense. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $145,376 and $363,440, respectively, was included in “other assets” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
     As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $0 and $60,667, respectively, in accrued interest was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
     May 2002 Convertible Debentures
     On May 22, 2002, Hollywood Media issued an aggregate of $5.7 million in principal amount of 6% Senior Convertible Debentures due May 22, 2005 (the “Debentures”) to a group of investors, upon payment of an aggregate $5.7 million cash investment from such investors. The Debentures bore interest at 6% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or common stock. Mitchell Rubenstein, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Laurie S. Silvers, the Vice Chairman and President of Hollywood Media, participated in the financing with a $500,000 cash investment upon the same terms as the other investors. The Debentures were convertible at the option of the investors at any time through May 22, 2005 into shares of Hollywood Media common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Following the conversion in August and September of 2004 of $4.7 million principal amount of Debentures described below, the remaining $1.0 million Debenture was amended so that it was convertible through and matured on May 22, 2006. The original conversion price of $3.46 per share was adjusted and amended as described below. The investors also received fully vested detachable warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire at any time through May 22, 2007, an aggregate of 576,590 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.78 per share. On May 22, 2003, an investor holding at least seventy-five percent of such investor’s shares of common stock issued or issuable to such investor under the Debentures, had the exercise price of the warrants held by such investor decreased to $3.46 per share, which equals the pre-adjustment conversion price of the Debentures. The Debentures and Warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions as more fully described in the agreements. As a result of the 2004 private placement, the original conversion price of the Debentures of

$3.46 per share was reduced to $3.30 per share, and the exercise price of the warrants was reduced to $3.34 per share, after giving effect to a weighted average anti-dilution provision per the agreements. As a result of the reduction of the conversion price, additional beneficial conversion of $294,360 was recorded in 2004.
     During August and September of 2004, $4.7 million principal amount of the Debentures was converted into shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.05 per share, including the $500,000 Debenture held by Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers. Prior to such conversions, the prevailing conversion price of the converted Debentures was reduced from $3.30 per share to $3.05 per share pursuant to Hollywood Media’s negotiations and agreements with the converting investors for the purpose of facilitating such conversions. Following such conversions, the remaining $1.0 million Debenture outstanding was amended to extend the maturity date to May 22, 2006 and to remove restrictive covenants, and the conversion price of this Debenture was reduced from $3.30 per share to $3.20 per share. As a result of these reductions in conversion prices, additional beneficial conversion option of $412,710 was recorded. On May 22, 2006, the remaining $1.0 million principal amount of the Debentures was converted into shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.20 per share. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2006, there were no remaining Debentures outstanding.
     As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $0 and $59,073, respectively, of unamortized discount on the Debentures was reducing the face amount of Debentures, and is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the outstanding Debentures.
     A total of $389,095 in deferred finance costs were incurred for the Debentures, including $161,695 in fees paid to a placement agent (including $130,000 in cash and a warrant valued at $31,695, with substantially the same terms as the Warrants issued to the Debenture holders). During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, $4,535 and $5,442, respectively, was recorded as interest expense from the amortization of the debt issuance costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, $1,814 and $2,712, respectively, was recorded as interest expense from the amortization of the debt issuance costs.
     Interest expense of $82,415 and $100,641 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, consisting of stated interest and discount amortization on the Debenture. Interest expense of $32,177 and $50,403 was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, consisting of stated interest and discount amortization on the Debenture.
     The Warrants granted to these investors in May 2002 were recorded at a relative fair value of $1,608,422 using the Black Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the value of the warrants using Black Scholes were as follows: volatility of 83.7%, 5 year expected life, exercise price of $3.78 per share, a stock price of $3.27 per share and a risk free interest rate of 4%. The original beneficial conversion feature of the Debentures was valued at $1,295,416. The recorded values of the Warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were being amortized to interest expense over 3 years, using the effective interest method or sooner if converted prior to maturity. The value of the Warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the Debentures were recorded as a discount to the convertible Debenture and included in additional paid-in capital.

     Self Insured Group Medical
     Hollywood Media has recorded a current liability of $114,092 and $143,328 related to accruals for self-insurance at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively in connection with the Company’s decision, effective June 1, 2004 to self insure its exposures under the Company’s group medical plan. The liability was recorded for the maximum amount of potential liability under the stop loss coverage due to the lack of historical claims experience data available.
     Litigation
     In November 2002 there was an arbitration action commenced by a third party against Hollywood Media regarding a contract dispute involving claims against Tribune Company and the hollywood.com, Inc. subsidiary of Hollywood Media, which dispute was settled in October 2003. Under the settlement, Hollywood Media made a $200,000 payment in October 2003, and agreed to purchase certain advertising to advertise Hollywood Media’s exhibition-related businesses in a trade publication at a cost of $14,167 per month, at prevailing rates, over a six-month period which commenced in December 2003. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, all payments were made and there was $21,650 and $34,075, respectively, of prepaid advertising remaining under this agreement.
     In a separate matter, a lawsuit pertaining to an advertising insertion order was filed against Hollywood Media in May 2003, seeking damages of $161,000 plus interest and costs. Hollywood Media and the plaintiff in this matter entered into an agreement in January 2005 to settle this litigation whereby Hollywood Media agreed to purchase $119,000 in advertising on various web properties over the period of January 18, 2005 through September 17, 2005, payable over 8 months. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 there was no prepaid advertising available under this agreement.
     In a separate matter, a lawsuit pertaining to an advertising sales and serving agreement was filed against Hollywood Media in August 2005 seeking damages of $224,000 plus interest and costs. Hollywood Media and the plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement in February 2006 pursuant to which Hollywood Media paid the plaintiff $54,061 in cash in full settlement of this matter. As of December 31, 2005, $50,000 was accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amount due in connection with this settlement was paid in full during the first quarter of 2006.
     Hollywood Media is from time to time a party to various legal proceedings including matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

NET REVENUES
     Total net revenues were $56,966,474 for Y2-06 as compared to $46,173,388 for Y2-05, an increase of $10,793,086 or 23%, and $33,011,136 for Q2-06 as compared to $25,922,383 for Q2-05, an increase of $7,088,753 or 27%. The increase in revenue from Y2-05 to Y2-06 was primarily due to a 172% revenue increase in Internet Ad Sales, an 18% revenue increase in Broadway Ticketing and a 17% revenue increase in Data Business, which was partially offset by a 42% revenue decrease in Intellectual Properties. The increase in revenue from Q2-05 to Q2-06 was primarily due to a 159% revenue increase in Internet Ad Sales, a 25% increase in Broadway Ticketing, and a 13% revenue increase in Data Business, which was partially offset by a 61% revenue decrease in Intellectual Properties. The increase in Internet Ad Sales is primarily due to the November 2005 acquisition of CinemasOnline which contributed $2,384,103 and $1,202,555 in Y2-06 and Q2-06, respectively, and an overall increase in ad sales on Hollywood.com and Broadway.com. In Y2-06 net revenues were derived 80% from Broadway Ticketing, 10% from Data Business, 9% from Internet Ad Sales, and 1% from Intellectual Properties. In Q2-06 net revenues were derived 82% from Broadway Ticketing, 9% from Data Business, 8% from Internet Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties. In Y2-05 net revenues were derived 83% from Broadway Ticketing, 11% from Data Business, 4% from Internet Ad Sales, and 2% from Intellectual Properties. In Q2-05 net revenues were derived 84% from Broadway Ticketing, 10% from Data Business, 4% from Internet Ad Sales and 2% from Intellectual Properties.
     Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $45,436,255 and $38,358,077 for Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, an increase of $7,078,178 or 18%, and $26,990,600 and $21,653,040 for Q2-06 and Q2-05, respectively, an increase of $5,337,560 or 25%. The increase in Broadway Ticketing net revenues in Y2-06 and Q2-06 over Y2-05 and Q2-05, respectively, is attributable to Broadway.com and 1-800-BROADWAY revenues which increased to $30,291,734 and $16,443,631 in Y2-06 and Q2-06, respectively, compared to $25,367,564 and $13,522,475 in Y2-05 and Q2-05, respectively, representing increases of $4,924,170 or 19% in Y2-06 and

-37-


Table of Contents

$2,921,156 or 22% in Q2-06. This increase in revenue is partially attributable to a combination of price and order increases and to changes in our marketing and advertising strategies as well as growth in tourism in New York City. Ticketing revenue is generated from the sales of live theater tickets for Broadway, off-Broadway and London’s West End both online via Broadway.com and Theatre.com and offline via 1-800-BROADWAY. Ticketing revenue is recognized on the date of performance of the show. Ticketing revenue received for performances yet to take place is recorded as deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
     Data Business net revenues (which includes our Source business [CinemaSource, EventSource, ExhibitorAds], and Baseline/StudioSystems) were $5,970,156 for Y2-06 as compared to $5,120,533 for Y2-05, an increase of $849,623 or 17%, and $3,032,155 for Q2-06 as compared to $2,692,202 for Q2-05, an increase of $339,953 or 13%. Those increases in Data Business revenue in Y2-06 and Q2-06 over Y2-05 and Q2-05, respectively, are attributable to additional licensing agreements entered into in our Data Business and an aggregate increase in license fees payable to us from our existing customers. Barter transactions included in the Data Business revenues were $5,192 in Y2-06 and $2,490 in Q2-06 as compared to $3,049 for both Y2-05 and Q2-05. Revenue for CinemaSource and EventSource is generated by the licensing of movie and event showtimes and other information to media outlets, internet companies, wireless companies and telephone companies including newspapers such as The New York Times, and Internet companies including AOL’s Moviefone and City Guide, MSN, Yahoo! and Google. Revenue for ExhibitorAds is generated by creating exhibitor paid directory ads for insertion in newspapers and the handling of email newsletters for exhibitors. Baseline/StudioSystems is a film and television database, licensing its data to businesses and professionals in the entertainment industry as well as websites, and generates revenue from the syndication of its data as well as subscription revenue.
     Internet Ad Sales net revenue was $5,036,895 for Y2-06 as compared to $1,850,797 for Y2-05, an increase of $3,186,098 or 172%, and $2,756,022 and $1,062,221 for Q2-06 and Q2-05 respectively, an increase of $1,693,801 or 159%. The increase in ad sales in Y2-06 and Q2-06 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of CinemasOnline in November 2005 and continued growth of ad sales on Hollywood.com and Broadway.com as well as increased commission revenue due to higher ad sales on MovieTickets.com. CinemasOnline revenue in Y2-06 and Q2-06 was $2,384,103 and $1,202,555, respectively. Internet Ad Sales revenue is generated from the sale of sponsorships and advertisements on Hollywood.com and Broadway.com, as well as advertisements generated by CinemasOnline. Hollywood Media also earns commissions on ad sales which Hollywood.com sells for placement on MovieTickets.com.
     Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $489,168 for Y2-06 as compared to $843,981 for Y2-05, a decrease of $354,813 or 42%, and $203,359 for Q2-06 as compared to $514,920 for Q2-05, a decrease of $311,561 or 61%. The decrease in revenues was attributable to the timing of the delivery of manuscripts as fewer manuscripts were delivered in Y2-06 and Q2-06 as compared to Y2-05 and Q2-05 and to sluggishness in the publishing industry. The Intellectual Properties division generates revenues from several different activities including book development and licensing and intellectual property licensing. Revenues vary quarter-to-quarter dependent on the timing of the delivery of the manuscripts to the publishers. Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete and ultimate collection of such revenues is no longer subject to contingencies. The Intellectual Properties division revenues do not include our 50% interest in NetCo Partners, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and under which Hollywood Media’s share of the income (loss) is included in

     (a) NetCo Partners
     NetCo Partners owns Tom Clancy’s NetForce and is primarily engaged in the development and licensing of Tom Clancy’s NetForce. NetCo Partners recognizes revenues when the earnings process has been completed based on the terms of the various agreements, generally upon the delivery of the manuscript to the publisher and at the point where ultimate collection is substantially assured. When advances are received prior to completion of the earnings process, NetCo Partners defers recognition of revenue until the earnings process has been completed. Hollywood Media owns 50% of NetCo Partners and accounts for its investment under the equity method of accounting. Hollywood Media’s 50% share of earnings was a net loss of $1,768 for Y2-06 compared to earnings of $529,420 for Y2-05, a decrease of $531,188. Hollywood Media’s 50% share of earnings was a net loss of $3,473 recorded for Q2-06 as compared to earnings of $534,452 for Q2-05, for a decrease of $537,925 or 101%. Revenues vary quarter-to-quarter dependent on timing of deliveries of manuscripts to the publisher.
     (b) MovieTickets.com
     Hollywood Media owned 26.2% of the total equity in MovieTickets.com, Inc. joint venture at June 30, 2006. Hollywood Media records its investment in MovieTickets.com, Inc. under the equity method of accounting, recognizing its percentage of ownership of MovieTickets.com income or loss as equity in earnings of investees. Hollywood Media shared in 26.2% of the losses or income generated by the joint venture during Q2-06. We have not recorded any of our share of the joint venture’s results of operations in Q2-06 and Q2-05 or in Y2-06 and Y2-05 related to our investment in MovieTickets.com because the investment has been reduced to zero. Hollywood Media is currently not providing for additional losses, if any, generated by MovieTickets.com as Hollywood Media has not guaranteed to fund future losses, if any, generated by MovieTickets.com. The MovieTickets.com web site generates revenues from service fees charged to users for the purchase of movie tickets online and the sale of advertising.
OPERATING EXPENSES
     Cost of revenue — ticketing. Cost of revenue — ticketing was $37,924,753 for Y2-06 compared to $33,018,470 for Y2-05 for an increase of $4,906,283 or 15%. Cost of revenue-ticketing for Q2-06 was $23,177,800 compared to $18,755,190 for Q2-05 for an increase of $4,422,610 or 24%. Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of tickets and credit card fees

Table of Contents

for the Broadway Ticketing segment, partially offset by rebates received from certain producers based on exceeding certain ticketing sales goals. As a percentage of ticketing revenue, cost of revenue — ticketing was 83% and 86% for Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, and 86% and 87% for Q2-06 and Q2-05, respectively. The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Y2-06 and Q2-06 compared to Y2-05 and Q2-05 was due in part to a greater proportion of higher margin consumer ticket sales and an increase in sellables (e.g., insurance, restaurant vouchers).
     Editorial, production, development and technology. Editorial, production, development and technology costs primarily consists of payroll and related expenses for the editorial and production staff responsible for creating content on Hollywood Media’s websites for our Internet Ad Sales and Data Business segments. These expenses include Internet access and computer related expenses for the support and delivery of our information services, and fees and royalties paid to authors and co-editors for the intellectual properties segment. Editorial, production, development and technology costs for Y2-06 were $3,947,197 compared to $2,709,519 for Y2-05, an increase of $1,237,678 or 46%. Q2-06 costs were $1,976,020 compared to $1,364,564 for Q2-05, an increase of $611,456 or 45%. As a percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales, Data Business, Cable TV and Intellectual Properties segments, these costs were 34% for Y2-06 and 35% for Y2-05, and 33% for Q2-06 and 32% for Q2-05 remaining relatively consistent as a percentage of revenues due to the lower incremental costs associated with the increased revenue in the Data Business segment along with the increase in gross margin for the Internet Ad Sales segment offset by increasing costs to the Cable TV segment.
     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of occupancy costs, production costs, professional and consulting service fees, telecommunications costs, provision for doubtful accounts receivable, general insurance costs, selling and marketing costs (such as advertising, marketing, promotional, business development, public relations, and commissions due to advertising agencies, advertising representative firms and other parties). SG&A expenses for Y2-06 were $7,753,206 compared to $6,163,305 for Y2-05 for an increase of $1,589,901, or 26%. The SG&A expenses for Q2-06 were $3,544,757 compared to $2,902,539 for Q2-05, an increase of $642,218, or 22%. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses were 14% and 13% for Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, and 11% for each of Q2-06 and Q2-05. The increase in Y2-06 as compared to Y2-05 was due in large part to an increase of $651,000 in advertising expense in the Broadway Ticketing segment, an increase in expenses primarily related to outsourcing of information technology to India and accounting process improvements of $863,000, an increase in travel expense of $72,000 and an increase of $131,000 in bad debt expense, excluding CinemasOnline, offset by reductions in legal fees of $173,000 and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting fees of $515,000. In addition, the acquisition of CinemasOnline in November 2005 increased SG&A expense by $531,000. The increase in Q2-06 as compared to Q2-05 was due in large part to an increase of $360,000 in advertising expense in the Broadway Ticketing segment, an increase in expenses related to outsourcing of information technology to India and accounting process improvements of $466,000, offset by reductions in legal fees of $232,000, and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting fees of $370,000. In addition, the acquisition of CinemasOnline in November 2005 increased SG&A expense by $287,000 in Q2-06. Barter expense included in SG&A expense was $8,102 and $4,110 for Y2-06 and Q2-06, respectively, as compared to $442 for each of Y2-05 and Q2-05.
     We have partially implemented and are in the process of developing and implementing additional efficiency improvements and cost-savings measures anticipated to reduce or better control various elements of SG&A expenses, including certain overhead reductions, the

-40-


Table of Contents

installation of a new accounting system, and the installation of a new, more robust Broadway ticketing software system to streamline our ticketing functionality and improve efficiencies. These various cost-saving measures are being incrementally implemented during 2006 and we expect to realize additional savings in applicable expenses over time as the initiatives increasingly take hold. As part of these cost-saving measures, we have outsourced part of our information technology services to India and are beginning the implementation phase of additional offshore outsourcing initiatives intended to achieve significant reductions in certain SG&A expenses relating to our Data Business segment and information technology services. These measures should also help us control portions of our payroll and benefits costs (discussed below).
     Payroll and Benefits.
     Payroll and benefits expenses consist of payroll and benefits including any other types of compensation benefits as well as human resources and administrative functions.
     Payroll and benefits expenses for Y2-06 were $8,791,070 compared to $8,288,855 for Y2-05 for an increase of $502,215 or 6%. Payroll and benefits expenses for Q2-06 were $4,653,481 compared to $4,529,235 for Q2-05 for an increase of $127,246 or 3%. As a percentage of net revenues, payroll and benefits expenses were approximately 15% and 18% for Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, and 14% and 17% for Q2-06 and Q2-05, respectively.
     The increase in costs from Y2-06 as compared to Y2-05 relating to payroll and benefits was due primarily to the payroll and benefits of $410,135 associated with CinemasOnline UK, an acquisition made in the 4th quarter of 2005.
     The increase in costs from Q2-06 as compared to Q2-05 relating to payroll and benefits was due primarily to the payroll and benefits of $202,981 associated with CinemasOnline UK, an acquisition made in the 4th quarter of 2005, offset by decreases in information systems personnel due to outsourcing.
     See the discussion of cost-savings measures described above under “Selling, general and administrative” which includes descriptions of initiatives that we expect to help control some of the costs included in Payroll and Benefits, including outsourcing and other system efficiencies.
     Depreciation and Amortization.
     Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of property and equipment, furniture and fixtures, web site development, leasehold improvements, equipment under capital leases and amortization of goodwill and intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,445,929 for Y2-06 as compared to $1,327,449 for Y2-05 for an increase of $118,480 or 9%. Q2-06 depreciation and amortization expense was $712,023 compared to $757,342 for Q2-05, a decrease of $45,319 or 6%. The net increase in depreciation and amortization expenses from Y2-06 as compared to Y2-05 was primarily attributable to a reduction due to certain intangibles reaching full amortization prior to June 30, 2006 offset by the increase due to amortization of intangibles of CinemasOnline.

     Interest, net was $1,184,552 for Y2-06, as compared to $94,460 for Y2-05, and $559,942 for Q2-06 as compared to $49,699 for Q2-05. The increase in interest expense of $1,090,092, or 1,154%, in Y2-06 over Y2-05 and $510,243, or 1,027%, for Q2-06 over Q2-05 was primarily attributable to issuance of $7,000,000 in senior unsecured notes on November 23, 2005, resulting in higher interest expense in 2006.
     Other, net.
     Other, net was $311,327 for Y2-06 as compared to $43,295 for Y2-05 and $559,748 for Q2-06 as compared to $16,963 for Q2-05. The decrease of $268,032, or 619% and $542,785, or 3,200%, in Other, net in Y2-06 as compared to Y2-05 and Q2-06 as compared to Q1-05 was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value marked-to-market through earnings for the derivative liability associated with the senior unsecured notes issued in November 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Hollywood Media’s cash and cash equivalents were $2,923,646 at June 30, 2006 as compared to $7,058,017 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $4,134,371 which was attributable in large part to an approximate $2,849,167 increase in Broadway ticketing inventory held for sale. Our net working capital deficit (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $10,713,405 at June 30, 2006 as compared to $3,929,668 at December 31, 2005. The net working capital deficit increase of $6,783,737 was due primarily to the $5,741,596 reclassification of the senior unsecured notes to current assets in Q2-06. The senior unsecured notes are payable at Hollywood Media’s discretion with shares of Hollywood Media common stock, subject to certain conditions.
     Net cash used in operating activities was $2,712,168 and $4,830,514 during Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, which cash usage for Y2-06 included, among other things, approximately $2,849,167 to purchase Broadway ticketing inventory held for sale during 2006. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,465,637 and $560,487 for Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, which cash usage for Y2-06 included, among other things $708,888 in expenditures for computer equipment and other capital assets, $153,517 for acquisition of certain intangible assets for the Internet Ad Sales division and $526,294 for the acquisition of Screenline. Net cash provided by financing activities was $43,434 and $2,243,220 during Y2-06 and Y2-05, respectively, which cash proceeds for Y2-06 included among other things, $88,784 in proceeds from option and warrant exercises net of issuance costs partially offset by $45,350 in capital lease payments.
2004 Private Placement
     In February 2004, Hollywood Media completed a private placement of common stock, which included the issuance of 5,773,355 shares of common stock to investors and five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,732,006 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.84 per share. Hollywood Media net cash proceeds from the private placement were approximately $15.1 million after deduction of expenses in connection with the transaction. Hollywood Media received approximately $18,403 and $803,664 net of placement agent commission, from the exercise of a portion of these warrants during 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes Issued in 2005
     On November 23, 2005, Hollywood Media issued and sold $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”) for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $7,000,000. The notes carry an 8% interest rate and an initial 12 month term, on which interest is payable in quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2005. The principal is payable in cash or, at Hollywood Media’s option, in shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock valued on a per share basis at a 5% discount from the 20-day volume-weighted average market price per share of the common stock (“VWAP”) as of the payment date, subject to certain conditions to such option including but not limited to the requirement that the shares be registered for resale. Hollywood Media’s proceeds related to the issuance, net of issuance costs, was $6,595,690. The holders of the Senior Notes also received warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.29 per share. In March of 2006, Hollywood Media exercised its option under the terms of the Senior Notes, to extend the maturity date of the Senior Notes to May 23, 2007 in exchange for the delivery of additional five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock with exercise price per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes are not convertible at the option of the holders.
Conversion of the Convertible Debenture due May 22, 2006
     On May 22, 2006, the remaining $1,000,000 principal amount of the 6% Senior Convertible Debentures due May 22, 2006 (the “Debentures”) was converted into shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.20 per share. As a result of such conversion, at June 30, 2006, Hollywood Media had a $0 principal amount of the Debentures outstanding.
Outlook
     The growth of our businesses, including our data syndication, ticketing and Internet ad sales operations has required substantial financing and may require additional financing to fund our growth plans and for working capital. Based on our plans and assumptions for operations and investment and financing activities during 2006, we estimate that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, anticipated cash flow from operations, and potential amounts available if we undertake sales of assets or further equity or debt financing, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment requirements through the end of the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2007. If our plans change or our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may need to seek further financing or curtail our growth and/or operations. We believe that our long-term financial success ultimately depends on our ability to generate enough revenue to offset operating expenses. To the extent we do not generate sufficient revenues to offset expenses we will require further financing to fund our ongoing operations.
     In 2005, Hollywood Media invested approximately $3.9 million in cash to consummate its acquisition of U.K. based CinemasOnline for integration with our Source Business and our Internet Ad Sales division.
     We currently anticipate additional capital expenditures in 2006 to be approximately $1.4 million for various systems and equipment upgrades. These anticipated 2006 capital expenditures do not include any estimates for business acquisitions.

     During 2006 we made cash outlays in connection with preparations for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including $0.5 million for consulting expertise, and $0.4 million of audit expenses for the Section 404 review, which related to the 2005 internal control audit. At this time we are unable to accurately estimate the full amount of the costs that Hollywood Media will incur during 2006 in connection with our ongoing Section 404 compliance and internal control development efforts, however, cash outlays after the second quarter are currently anticipated to include, an additional $0.5 million for consulting expertise and $0.3 million for the Section 404 audit expenses. See “Selling, General and Administrative” above regarding our ongoing implementation of cost-saving measures including outsourcing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes of the sort contemplated by paragraph 4 of Item 303 of SEC Regulation S-K. As such, management believes that we currently do not have any disclosures to make of the sort contemplated by paragraph 4 of Item 303 regarding “off-balance sheet arrangements.”
Critical Accounting Policies
     In response to the SEC’s Release Number 33-8040 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” and SEC Release Number 33-8056, “Commission Statement about Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate our estimates, including those related to asset impairment, accruals for compensation and related benefits, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and contingencies and litigation. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional information about our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     Hollywood Media maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company’s accounting for doubtful accounts contains uncertainty because management must use judgment to assess the collectibility of these accounts. When preparing these estimates, management considers a number of factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,370,982 and $1,891,996 at June 30, 2006 and December

-44-


Table of Contents

31, 2005, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the allowance of $359,911 in CinemasOnline and $134,457 in the Broadway Ticketing Division. Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required that could materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different geographical regions. The allowance for doubtful accounts increased primarily due to the acquisition of CinemasOnline.
     Revenue Recognition
     Revenue recognition policies for ticketing, syndication, advertising and book packaging and licensing, are set forth below.
     Ticketing. Ticket revenue is derived from the sale of live theater tickets for Broadway, off-Broadway and London shows to individuals, groups, travel agencies, tour groups and educational organizations. Proceeds from these sales received in advance of the corresponding performance activity are recorded as deferred revenue at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue in the period the performance of the show occurs.
     Gift certificate revenue is derived from the sale of gift certificates for Broadway, off-Broadway, London shows and Dinner and Show sales to individuals, groups, travel agencies, tour groups and corporate programs. Proceeds from these sales are included in “Deferred Revenue” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue in the period the performance of the show occurs.
     Hotel package revenue is derived from the sale of exclusive allocation rooms provided by New York City hotels to individuals and groups. Proceeds from these sales are recorded on a net basis and are included in “Customer Deposits” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue on the day of departure from the hotel.
     Dinner voucher revenue is derived from the sale of dinner vouchers for meals at upscale restaurants in New York City to individuals and groups. Proceeds from these sales are recorded on a net basis and are included in “Customer Deposits” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, at the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue on the date the voucher is presented, or upon expiration of the voucher.
     In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” This consensus provides guidance concerning under what circumstances a company should report revenue based on (a) the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of goods or services or (b) the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to the customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee. Hollywood Media’s existing accounting policies conform to the EITF consensus. Ticket revenue and cost of revenue-ticketing are recorded on a gross basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Hotel revenues packages and vouchers sold for New York restaurants are reported on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

     Self-Insurance Accruals
     Hollywood Media maintains an accrual for self-insured retentions for its health benefits programs and limits its exposure by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. The estimate of the Company’s self-insurance liability contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. When estimating the Company’s self-insurance liability, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claim experience. The self-insurance program was initiated in June 2004. Management recorded the maximum amount of potential liability under the stop-loss insurance coverage due to the lack of historical claims experience data available for the current health care plan.
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     Effective December 31, 2001, Hollywood Media adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 superseded SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 121”) and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” (“APB No. 30”) for the disposal of a segment of a business. Consistent with SFAS No. 121, SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.
     We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values. We determined fair value as the net present value of future cash flows. Based on these evaluations, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of long lived assets in 2005, 2004, or 2003 other than the asset write downs discussed in Note 9 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS No. 142). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 were no longer subject to amortization. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives acquired prior to June 30, 2001 ceased to be amortized beginning January 1, 2002. In addition, SFAS 142 changed the way we evaluated goodwill and intangibles for impairment. Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill and certain intangibles are no longer amortized; however, they are subject to evaluation for impairment at least annually using a fair value based test. The fair value based test is a two-step test. The first step involved comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to the carrying value of those reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we are required to proceed to the second step. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit would be allocated to the assets (including unrecognized intangibles) and liabilities of the reporting unit, with any residual representing the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment

-46-


Table of Contents

loss would be recognized if and to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the implied value.
     As prescribed by SFAS No. 142, we completed the transitional goodwill impairment test by the second quarter of 2002 which did not result in an impairment charge. Additionally, Hollywood Media established October 1, as its annual impairment test date and conducted required testing on that date in 2005, 2004 and 2003 and there were no adjustments to the carrying value of long-lived assets other than the asset write downs discussed in Note 8 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, we are not aware of any items or events that would cause us to adjust the recorded value of Hollywood Media’s goodwill for impairment. Future changes in estimates used to conduct the impairment review, including revenue projections or market values could cause the analysis to indicate that Hollywood Media’s goodwill is impaired in subsequent periods and result in a write-off of a portion or all of the goodwill. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations of our reporting units on the impairment calculation, we applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit. This hypothetical decrease would not result in the impairment of goodwill of any reporting unit.
Inflation and Seasonality
     Although we cannot accurately determine the precise effects of inflation, we do not believe inflation has a material effect on revenue or results of operations. We consider our business to be somewhat seasonal and expect net revenues to be generally higher during the second and fourth quarters of each fiscal year for our Tekno Books book licensing business as a result of the general publishing industry practice of paying royalties semi-annually. The Broadway Ticketing Business is also effected by seasonal variations with net revenues generally higher in the second quarter as a result of increased sales volumes due to the Tony Awards© and in the fourth quarter due to increased levels during the holiday period. In addition, although not seasonal, our Intellectual Properties division and NetCo Partners both experience fluctuations in their respective revenue streams, earnings and cash flow as a result of the amount of time that is expended in the creation and development of the intellectual properties and their respective licensing agreements. The recognition of licensing revenue is typically triggered by specific contractual events which occur at different points in time rather than on a regular periodic basis.
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
     Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in our assets or liabilities that might occur due to changes in market rates and prices, such as interest or foreign currency exchange rates, as well as other relevant market rate or price changes.
     Interest rates charged on Hollywood Media’s debt instruments are primarily fixed in nature. We therefore do not believe that the risk of loss relating to the effect of changes in market interest rates is material.
     We have an investment in a subsidiary in the United Kingdom and sell our services into this foreign market. Our foreign net asset/exposures (defined as assets denominated in foreign currency less liabilities denominated in foreign currency) for the United Kingdom at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 of U.S. dollar equivalents was $(44,149) and $9,847, respectively.

-47-


Table of Contents

     Our United Kingdom subsidiary sells services and pays for products and services in British pounds. A decrease in the British foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our margins. An assumed 10% depreciation of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (i.e., in addition to actual exchange experience) would have resulted in a translation reduction of our revenue by $120,255 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
     As the assets, liabilities and transactions of our United Kingdom subsidiary are denominated in British pounds, the results and financial condition are subject to translation adjustments upon their conversion into U.S. dollars for our financial reporting purposes. A 10% decline in this foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar (i.e., in addition to actual exchange experience) would have resulted in a translation reduction of $523 on the operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. However, a larger decline in the British foreign currency could have a larger and possibly material adverse affect.
     We purchase and sell live theater tickets to shows in London’s West End. We minimize our exposure to adverse changes in currency exchange rates by taking steps to reduce the time lag between the purchase and payment of tickets for the London shows and the collection of related sales proceeds. We do not believe the risk of loss relating to adverse changes in currency exchange rates to be material.
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of Hollywood Media’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q report. Based on that evaluation and the material weakness described below, Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, have concluded that Hollywood Media’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of June 30, 2006, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) accumulated and communicated to Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     As previously reported in Hollywood Media’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006, management assessed the effectiveness of Hollywood Media’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and included its Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in such Form 10-K. The Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting concluded that certain deficiencies in Hollywood Media’s Broadway Ticketing business, which are more fully described in such Form 10-K, constituted a material weakness in Hollywood Media’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 2), or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial

-48-


Table of Contents

statements will not be prevented or detected. As of June 30, 2006, Hollywood Media had not fully remediated this material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There have been no changes in Hollywood Media’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Hollywood Media’s internal control over financial reporting.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Scott Gomez.
     On August 9, 2006, Hollywood Media entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Scott Gomez, the Company’s principal accounting officer and Chief Accounting Officer, which amended and restated in its entirety the original five-year employment agreement entered into between Hollywood Media and Mr. Gomez on May 19, 2005. Mr. Gomez has served as Hollywood Media’s principal accounting officer since April 2, 2003. Pursuant to the original employment agreement, Mr. Gomez receives a current annual base salary of $200,000, which is subject to annual increases of $25,000.
     In addition to the terms of the original employment agreement, the amended and restated employment agreement provides that, in the event of a Change of Control of Hollywood Media (as such term is defined in the amended and restated employment agreement) Mr. Gomez will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment in cash equal to the salary and annual bonuses payable to Mr. Gomez under the agreement for the two year period following the date of such Change of Control, subject to the additional terms set forth in the amended and restated employment agreement.
     If the Change of Control occurs while Mr. Gomez is employed by Hollywood Media, then Mr. Gomez and Hollywood Media have agreed to continue his employment during a transition period of at least six months following the date of the Change of Control irrespective of the length of time remaining on the term of the agreement (the “Transition Period”). Hollywood Media shall have the right to extend the Transition Period up to an additional six months. During the Transition Period and any extension thereof, the base salary payable to Mr. Gomez in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated employment agreement shall be increased by 50%.

any time prior to April 13, 2010, Mr. Gomez will be entitled to receive any bonuses earned as of the date of termination as well as payment of his base salary for the shorter of two years or the remainder of his employment period (the “Termination Payments”). In addition, if a Change of Control occurs within a specified period of time following such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, then Mr. Gomez shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of receiving any additional Termination Payments described above, (i) the change of control bonus payment plus (ii) a lump sum payment in cash equal to the increased base salary that would have been payable to Mr. Gomez during the Transition Period if such termination or resignation had not occurred minus (iii) any Termination Payments made to Mr. Gomez prior to the date of the Change of Control.
