HOLLYWOOD MEDIA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(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 Medias financial position
and results of operations. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 Medias Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Hollywood Medias 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 Medias 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 March 31, 2005
(Q1-05), 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 Medias 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.
- 6 -
Table of Contents
Revenue
| Ticketing net revenue has been reduced by $1,634,507 or 8.9% in the Q1-05 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 $1,634,507 or 10.3%, in the Q1-05 restated condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of a gross-up of hotel and dinner voucher revenue. |
The restatement had no effect on the reported net loss.
The following unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, reconcile the restated amounts to the corresponding
amounts, as previously reported.

(3) | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: |
Share-Based Incentive Plan
As of March 31, 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 1,329,219 shares remaining
available for issuance under Hollywood Medias stock incentive plans at March 31, 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 10 years from the date
of grant. Options awarded to Hollywood Medias 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) 123(R), 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 123(R) 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 stock options under
the provisions of APB 25. Under Hollywood Medias 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, Hollywood Media recorded $46,467 of
stock-based compensation expense which caused income before income taxes to decrease by $46,467 and
net income to decrease by $46,467. The recorded compensation expense did not have an impact on
basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The recorded
compensation expense did not have an impact on cash flows for the three-months ended March 31,
2006. Hollywood Media does not anticipate the recognition of compensation expense under SFAS 123(R)
in future periods for options currently outstanding to have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
For periods prior to January 1, 2006, SFAS 123 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 recorded. The following
table includes the impact on net income and per share amounts for the three months ended March 31,
2005 had Hollywood Media recognized fair value compensation costs for the period:

non-vested stock option awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of 2.22 years.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses various assumptions in the calculation of the fair
value. There were no stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Stock option exercises during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 resulted in
the receipt of nominal cash proceeds and had a nominal intrinsic value as of those dates. There
were no tax benefits realized from stock option exercises for the period ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, as a result of the use of available net operating losses and the related valuation allowance.
In
accordance with SFAS 123(R), unearned deferred compensation
amounts of approximately $1.8 million previously classified as
contra-equity 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 Medias 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 Medias 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
500,000 and 700,000 unvested restricted shares as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Common
shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of outstanding options
and warrants of 6,467,908 and 5,383,424 at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were excluded
from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 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 Medias 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.
Receivables
Receivables
consist of amounts due from: customers who have advertised on
Hollywood Medias 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 Medias 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 $2,167,644 and $1,891,996 at March 31,
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 all receivables 180 days over due. The Companys 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 customers account, past transactions with customers,
creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The
- 12 -
Table of Contents
allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,167,644 and $1,891,996 at March 31, 2006 and December
31, 2005, respectively. Although the Company believes its
allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Companys 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 Companys consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large
number of customers comprising the Companys 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.
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 Companys
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.
- 13 -
Table of Contents
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 Medias 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.
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
Medias and MovieTickets.coms 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 Medias 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 Medias websites. In these instances, depending on the form of the
arrangement, revenue is recognized either based on the number of impressions
- 14 -
Table of Contents
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 Medias 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
Medias 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 Companys 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 Companys 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
On February 16, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. 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
- 15 -
Table of Contents
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 No. 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 No. 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 No. 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 Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan 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 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
Companys 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
Companys 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

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 Medias option, in shares of Hollywood Medias 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 Medias 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 Medias 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 Medias common stock with exercise price per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes are not
convertible at the option of the holders.
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 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 $341,174 for the quarter
ending March 31, 2006 and no discount amortization was recorded for the quarter ending March 31,
2005. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $1,542,571 and $1,597,745 of unamortized
discount on the Senior Notes was reducing the face amount 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
- 18 -
Table of Contents
the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $240,000 of loss relating to the detachable warrants,
which is classified as a derivative liability and marked to market through earnings in other,
net in the Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations.
In addition, $404,310 of issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the debt as a
deferred debt issuance cost. During the quarter ending March 31, 2006, $109,032 of debt issuance
costs have been amortized as interest expense. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
$254,408 and $363,440 was included in other assets in the Companys condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $0 and $60,667 in accrued interest was recorded on
the Companys 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, but the sole $1 million currently outstanding Debenture was amended and is now
convertible through and matures on May 22, 2006, following the conversion of $4.7 million principal
amount of Debentures described below. 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 investors 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 Medias 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 Medias negotiations and agreements with the
converting investors for the purpose of facilitating such conversions. Following such conversions,
the remaining $1.0 million Debenture still 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.
- 19 -
Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $23,629 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).
Interest expense of $2,721 was recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, from the amortization of the debt issuance costs.
Interest expense of $35,444 was recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, consisting of stated interest, discount amortization of the beneficial conversion
feature for the reduction in conversion prices on the Debentures, and the original discounts.
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.
(7) | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: |
Effective January 1, 2002, Hollywood Media adopted SFAS No. 142. Hollywood Media established
October 1 of each year as its annual impairment test date. As of March 31, 2006, Hollywood Media
was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would require it to evaluate goodwill
for impairment prior to October 1, 2006.
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. CinemasOnline became a subsidiary of CinemasSource UK Limited, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hollywood Media that was formed for this transaction. The Company received
preliminary results of a valuation performed by an independent valuation expert on the assets
acquired. The valuation determined the fair market value of certain intangible assets (customer
list, service marks, trade secrets and processes) which are being amortized over 3 years. The fair
market value at acquisition of these assets was $1,250,000. Amortization expense of $138,889 was
recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
On January 18, 2006, Hollywood Media acquired the assets of eFanGuide, Inc., a provider of
celebrity fan sites on the internet including 120 owned URLs and 5 hosted URLs. In exchange for
the assets of eFanGuide, Inc., Hollywood Media issued 50,930 shares of common

Table of Contents
stock valued at $216,500. The URLs were classified as an intangible asset and are being
amortized over three years. Amortization expense of $15,035 was recorded in the quarter ended
March 31, 2006.
On January 31, 2006, Hollywood Media acquired the assets of Prosperity Plus, Inc., a provider
of celebrity fan sites on the internet including 31 owned URLs and 17 hosted URLs. In exchange for
the assets of Prosperity Plus, Inc., Hollywood Media paid $100,000 in cash and $300,000 in 69,349
shares in Hollywood Media common stock. The URLs were classified as an intangible asset and are
being amortized over three years. Amortization expense of $22,222 was recorded in the quarter
ended March 31, 2006.

NET REVENUES
Total net revenues were $23,955,338 for Q1-06 as compared to $20,251,005 for Q1-05, an
increase of $3,704,333 or 18%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in
revenues in our Broadway Ticketing, Data Businesses, and Internet Ad Sales segments (of which the
November 2005 acquisition of CinemasOnline contributed $1,181,548 of revenues). In Q1-06 net revenues were
derived 77% from Broadway Ticketing, 12% from Data Business, 10% from Internet Ad Sales and 1% from
Intellectual Properties. In Q1-05 net revenues were derived 82% from Broadway Ticketing, 12% from
Data Business, 4% from Internet Ad Sales and 2% from Intellectual Properties.
Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $18,445,655 and $16,705,037 for Q1-06 and Q1-05,
respectively, an increase of $1,740,618 or 10%. The increase in Broadway Ticketing net revenues in
Q1-06 over Q1-05 is attributable to Broadway.com and 1-800-BROADWAY revenues which increased to
$13,848,103 in Q1-06 compared to $11,845,089 in Q1-05, an increase of $2,003,014 or 17%. 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 Londons 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 businesses [CinemaSource, EventSource,
ExhibitorAds], and Baseline/StudioSystems) were $2,938,001 for Q1-06 as compared to $2,428,331 for
Q1-05, an increase of $509,670 or 21%. This increase in Data Business revenue in Q1-06 over Q1-05
is attributable to additional licensing agreements entered into in our Data Business and an
increase in license fees payable to us from our existing customers. Barter transactions included in
the Data Business revenues were $4,304 in Q1-06 and
- 32 -
Table of Contents
$0 for Q1-05. Revenue for CinemaSource and EventSource is generated by the licensing of
movie, event and theater showtimes and other information to media outlets and Internet companies
including newspapers such as The New York Times, Internet companies including AOLs Moviefone and
City Guide, MSN, Yahoo!, Google and Lycos, and wireless providers. Revenue for ExhibitorAds is
generated by creating exhibitor paid directory ads for insertion in newspapers.
Baseline/StudioSystems is a film and television database, licensing its data to businesses and
professionals in the entertainment industry, and generates revenue from the syndication of its data
as well as subscription revenue.
Internet Ad Sales net revenue was $2,280,873 for Q1-06 as compared to $788,576 for Q1-05, an
increase of $1,492,297 or 189%. The increase in ad sales from Q1-05 to Q1-06 is primarily
attributable to the acquisition of CinemasOnline in November 2005 and continued growth on
Hollywood.com as well as increased commission revenue due to higher ad sales on MovieTickets.com.
CinemasOnline revenue in Q1-06 was $1,181,548. 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 Media sells for placement on MovieTickets.com.
Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $285,809 for Q1-06 as compared to
$329,061 for Q1-05, a decrease of $43,252 or 13%. The decrease in revenues was attributable to continuing
general sluggishness in the book publishing industry segment in which our Intellectual Properties
division operates. 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 Medias share of the income (loss) is reported as
equity in earnings (losses) of investees.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS (LOSSES) OF INVESTEES
Equity in earnings (losses) of investees consisted of the following:

Table of Contents
(a) | NetCo Partners |
NetCo Partners owns Tom Clancys NetForce and is primarily engaged in the development and
licensing of Tom Clancys 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
Medias 50% share of gains was $1,705 for Q1-06 compared to losses of $5,032 for Q1-05. NetCo
Partners recognized $3,410 in income during the first quarter of 2006, primarily as the result of
favorable currency fluctuations on foreign accounts receivable. Revenues vary quarter-to-quarter
dependent on timing of deliveries of various manuscripts to the publisher.
(b) MovieTickets.com
Hollywood Media owned 26.2% of the total equity in MovieTickets.com, Inc. joint venture at
March 31, 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 Q1-06. We have not recorded any of our share of the joint ventures
results of operations in Q1-06 and Q1-05 related to our investment in MovieTickets.com because the
investment had 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 $14,746,953 for Q1-06 compared
to $14,263,280 for Q1-05 for an increase of $483,673 or 3%. Cost of revenue consists primarily of
the cost of tickets and credit card fees 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 80% and 85% for Q1-06 and Q1-05
respectively. The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Q1-06
compared to Q1-05 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 consist of payroll and related expenses for the editorial and production staff
responsible for creating content on Hollywood Medias 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 Q1-06 were $1,971,177 compared to $1,344,955 for Q1-05, an increase of
$626,222 or 47%. As a percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales, Data Business and Intellectual
Properties segments, these costs were 36% and 38% for Q1-06 and Q1-05, respectively, decreasing 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.

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). Selling, general and administrative expenses for Q1-06 were $4,208,449
compared to $3,260,766 for Q1-05. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $947,683
or 29% in Q1-06, as compared to Q1-05, due in large part to an increase of $328,000 in advertising
expense in the Broadway Ticketing segment, an increase in consulting expenses of $401,000 and an
increase of $121,000 in bad debt expense, excluding CinemasOnline, offset by reductions in
accounting fees of $116,000 and Sarbanes-Oxley consulting fees of $145,000. In addition, the
acquisition of CinemasOnline in November 2005 increased SG&A expense by $244,000. As a percentage
of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 18 % for Q1-06 from 16%
for Q1-05. Barter expense included in selling, general and administrative expense was $3,992 for
Q1-06 and $0 in Q1-05.
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 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 Q1-06 were $4,137,589 as compared to $3,759,620 for Q1-05,
an increase of $377,969, or 10%. As a percentage of net revenues, payroll and benefits expenses
were approximately 17% and 19% in the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The increase in costs from Q1-06 as compared to Q1-05 relating to payroll and benefits was due
in large part to the following factors: the acquisition of CinemasOnline in November 2005 resulted
in an approximate $207,000 increase; addition of new staff in certain departments including the MIS
and Internet Ad Sales departments; approximately $105,218 in expenses for executive bonuses; and
discretionary and/or contractual compensation increases granted to various personnel.

Table of Contents
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
$733,906 for Q1-06 as compared to $570,107 for Q1-05. Depreciation and amortization increased
$163,799, or 29%, in Q1-06 compared to Q1-05. The increase in depreciation and amortization
expense is primarily due to additions of computers and software in the equipment category, as well
as $177,000 of additional amortization expense of intangibles due to the acquisition of
CinemasOnline and the Hollywood Fan Sites.
Interest, net.
Interest, net was $624,610 for Q1-06, as compared to $44,761 for Q1-05. The increase in
interest expense of $579,849, or 1,295%, in interest, net in Q1-06 as compared to Q1-05 was
primarily attributable to issuance of $7,000,000 in senior unsecured notes on November 23, 2005,
resulting in higher interest expense in the first quarter of 2006. (See Note 6 to Hollywood
Medias Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.)
Other, net.
Other, net was $248,421 of loss for Q1-06, as compared to a gain $26,332 for Q1-05. The
decrease of $274,753, or 1,043%, in Other, net in Q1-06 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 Medias cash and cash equivalents were $4,864,101 at March 31, 2006 as compared to
$7,058,017 at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $2,193,916 which was attributable in large part to
an approximate $1,400,000 increase in Broadway ticketing inventory held for sale. Our net working
capital deficit (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $4,963,353 at March 31,
2006 as compared to $3,929,668 at December 31, 2005.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,568,667 during Q1-06 as compared to $2,897,625
during Q1-05, which cash usage for Q1-06 included, among other things, approximately $1,400,000 to
purchase Broadway ticketing inventory held for sale during 2006. Net cash used in investing
activities was $620,060 during Q1-06 as compared to $306,335 during Q1-05, which cash usage for
Q1-06 included, among other things, $412,605 in expenditures for computer equipment and other
capital assets, and $130,517 spent to acquire certain intangible assets for the Internet Ad Sales
Division. Net cash used by financing activities was $5,189 during Q1-06 as compared to net cash
provided by financing activities of $675,292 during Q1-05, including, among other things, $23,960
in capital lease payments in Q1-06 partially offset by proceeds from warrant exercises, net of
issuance costs.

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 Medias option, in shares of Hollywood Medias 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 Medias 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 Medias 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 Medias common stock with exercise price per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes are not
convertible at the option of the holders.
Convertible Debenture due May 22, 2006
At March 31, 2006, Hollywood Media had a $1,000,000 principal amount 6% Senior Convertible
Debenture due May 22, 2006 outstanding. This outstanding Debenture is convertible at the option of
the investor at any time through the maturity date into shares of common stock of Hollywood Media
at a conversion price of $3.20 per share. Prior to conversion, the Debenture bears interest at 6%
per annum, payable quarterly in cash or common stock.
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
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 March 31, 2007. If our plans change
or our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may need to seek further financing or
- 37 -
Table of Contents
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, of which $0.1 million
remains in escrow pending resolution of certain indemnification items, 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 2005 we made cash outlays in connection with preparations for compliance with Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including $1.1 million for consulting expertise, and $0.4
million of increased audit expenses for the Section 404 review. 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, such costs during 2006 already include approximately $0.3 million in the first quarter
ended March 31, 2006, and costs after the first quarter are currently anticipated to include, in
addition to the capital expenditures for new information systems referenced above, an additional
$0.3 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 March 31, 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 SECs Release Number 33-8040 Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About
Critical Accounting Policies and SEC Release Number 33-8056, Commission Statement about
Managements 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
- 38 -
Table of Contents
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 Companys 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 customers account, past transactions with customers,
creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The allowance for
doubtful accounts was $2,167,644 and $1,891,996 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the allowance of $161,017 in CinemasOnline
and $102,534 in the Broadway Ticketing Division. Although the Company believes its allowance is
sufficient, if the financial condition of the Companys 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 Companys consolidated financial statements. Concentrations of
credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers
comprising the Companys 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.
- 39 -
Table of Contents
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 Medias 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
- 41 -
Table of Contents
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 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 March 31, 2006, we are not aware of any items or events that would
cause us to adjust the recorded value of Hollywood Medias 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 Medias 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 Medias 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 March 31, 2006
and December 31, 2005 of U.S. dollar equivalents was $(51,614) and $9,847, respectively.
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 $118,158 for the quarter ended March 31, 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 $3,650 on the operating loss for the quarter
ended March 31, 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 Londons 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
Medias management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, of the
effectiveness of Hollywood Medias 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 Medias management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, have concluded that Hollywood
Medias disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of March 31, 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 Medias management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As previously reported in Hollywood Medias 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 Medias 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 Medias Broadway
Ticketing business, which are more fully described in such Form 10-K, constituted a material
weakness in Hollywood Medias 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 statements will not be prevented or detected. As
of March 31, 2006, Hollywood Media had not fully remediated this material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in Hollywood Medias internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that
occurred during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, Hollywood Medias internal control over financial
reporting.
