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 or Company) 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 nine and three months ended
September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which
may result for the remainder of 2007. 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, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2) 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.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS No.
128), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) requires companies to present
basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Income (Loss) per common share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of
outstanding options and warrants of 2,851,928 and 5,950,236 at September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive to
the loss from continuing operations. Non-vested shares relating to outstanding options and
warrants are not included in the basic calculation until vesting occurs. There were 200,000
and 400,000 unvested shares as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Table of Contents
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 consist 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 theater 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; customers who 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.
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 overdue, and other receivables if estimated to be uncollectible. 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 $1,081,434 and $1,159,503 at September 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006, 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.

Ticketing Revenue Recognition
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
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.
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 (EITF) of the FASB 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.
Segment Information
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No.
131) 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 7.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides entities the
option to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. The fair value option is irrevocable and
generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if the Company has similar instruments
that it elects not to measure based on fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which
the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently assessing the potential
impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact this statement
will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all
entities subject to income taxes and covers all tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before
being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On May 2, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1), which amends FIN 48, to provide guidance about how an
enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of
recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under FSP FIN 48-1, a tax position is considered
to be effectively settled if the taxing authority completed its examination, the company does not
plan to appeal, and it is remote that the taxing authority would re-examine the tax position in the
future. Consideration of this guidance had no effect on our application of FIN 48.

(5) 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 carried an 8% interest rate and an initial 12 month term, on which interest was payable
in quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2005. The principal was 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, were $6,595,690. The holders of the Senior Notes
also received warrants (the Warrants) to purchase 700,000 shares of Hollywood Medias common
stock at an exercise price of $4.29 per share. In March 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
were not convertible at the option of the holders.
On May 18, 2007, the $7,000,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the
Senior Notes.
Upon issuance, Hollywood Media 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%, 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%, 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 was 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 $624,601 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and $930,229 and
-12-
Table of Contents
$304,888,
respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006. As of December 31, 2006,
$624,601 of unamortized discount on the Senior Notes was reducing the face amount of the Senior
Notes, and was being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the outstanding debt.
The fair value of the Warrants were recorded as a derivative liability in previous periods.
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. In
accordance with FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2 (EITF 00-19-2), effective January 1, 2007,
the derivative liability of $1,423,464 was eliminated through an increase in additional
paid-in-capital of $2,151,037, representing the original derivative liability, and an increase in
the accumulated deficit of $727,573, representing the change in fair value from previous periods.
Registration Payment Arrangement
As required by the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Warrants,
Hollywood Media filed a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants that was declared effective by the SEC on March 3, 2006,
and must maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement through the earlier of (a) the
fifth anniversary of the effective date or (b) the date on which the holders of Warrant shares are
able to resell such Warrant shares under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. If the registration
statement ceases to be effective for any reason for more than 30 trading days during any 12-month
period (the Grace Period) in violation of the agreement, and if there are no applicable defenses
or limitations under the agreement or at law or otherwise, Hollywood Media would be required to pay
to the holders of Warrant shares, in addition to any other rights such holders may have, an
aggregate cash amount equal to $25,000 for each of the first three 30-day periods following the
date that the Grace Period is exceeded, increasing to $70,000 for each succeeding 30-day period.
As of September 30, 2007, none of the Warrants have been exercised and no Warrant shares have been
issued.
In accordance with EITF 00-19-2, Hollywood Media is required to calculate the maximum
potential amount of consideration payable pursuant to registration payment arrangements, even if
the likelihood of payments under such arrangements is remote. EITF 00-19-2 is applicable to
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and any interim
periods therein. Assuming for purposes of this calculation that (i) all of the Warrants were
exercised on September 30, 2007, (ii) the Warrant shares issued upon such exercise are available
for resale under Rule 144(k) on September 30, 2009, (iii) the registration statement ceased to be
effective in violation of the agreement on September 30, 2007 and does not become effective again
before September 30, 2009, the remainder of the required registration period, and (iv) that there
are no applicable defenses or limitations under the agreement or at law or otherwise, the maximum
potential amount of consideration payable by Hollywood Media to the holders of Warrant shares would
be $1,475,000. Management does not believe that any significant material payments are likely under
this registration payment arrangement.

(8) CERTAIN COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Self-Insurance Accruals
Until June 2007 Hollywood Media maintained self-insured retentions for its health benefits
programs and limited its exposure by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. The
estimate of the Companys self-insurance liability contains uncertainty since management was
required to use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that would be incurred to settle reported
claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of each balance sheet date.
When estimating the Companys self-insurance liability, management
-19-
Table of Contents
considered a number of factors,
which included historical claim experience. The self-insurance program was initiated in June 2004.
Management recorded the potential liability under the stop-loss insurance coverage using incurred
but not reported analyses provided by Hollywood Medias broker. The analyses used historical
claims experience data available under the current self-insurance plan, which was then analyzed by
the brokers underwriters. The Company accrued $21,310 and $124,255 for potential claims at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The insurance expense under the Hollywood
Media group insurance plan for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 was
$357,244 and $153,693, respectively, and $216,273 and $95,276 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and is included in Payroll and Benefits in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations. In June of 2007, Hollywood Media ceased the
self-insurance program in favor of a more cost efficient third party insured plan. The remaining
liability is expected to cover potential claims incurred but not reported, which may be paid, over
the remaining three months of the self-insurance tail period.
Litigation
In August 2007, a lawsuit was filed against Hollywood Media alleging trademark infringement.
Hollywood Media has engaged counsel to represent the Company and has filed a counterclaim and an
answer to the complaint. Hollywood Media denies any wrongdoing, does not believe any monies are
owed and intends to defend this case vigorously.
In addition to the legal proceeding described above, Hollywood Media is from time to time
party to various legal proceedings, including matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

NET REVENUES
Total net revenues were $92,846,154 for Y3-07 as compared to $75,387,971 for Y3-06, an
increase of $17,458,183 or 23%, and $28,207,878 for Q3-07 as compared to $24,391,653 for Q3-06, an
increase of $3,816,225 or 16%. The increase in net revenue from Y3-06 to Y3-07 and Q3-07 over
Q3-06 was primarily due to growth in our Broadway Ticketing Division. In Q3-07 net revenues were
derived 89% from Broadway Ticketing, 10% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties. In
Q3-06 net revenues were derived 88% from Broadway Ticketing, 11% from Ad Sales and 1% from
Intellectual Properties.
Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $83,870,628 and $66,980,245 for Y3-07 and Y3-06,
respectively, an increase of $16,890,383 or 25%, and such net revenues were $25,086,116 and
$21,543,990 for Q3-07 and Q3-06, respectively, an increase of $3,542,126 or 16%. The increase in
Broadway Ticketing net revenues in Y3-07 from Y3-06, and in Q3-07 from Q3-06, was primarily due to
the following: (i) the purchase of Showtix on February 1, 2007; and (ii) ticket price increases by
theaters, increased number of tickets sold, increases in services fees on individual ticket sales
and changes in our marketing and advertising strategies. Ticketing net
revenue is generated from the sales of live theater tickets for Broadway, off-Broadway and
-24-
Table of Contents
Londons West End both online via Broadway.com and offline via 1-800-BROADWAY to domestic and
international travel professionals, tourists and New York area theater patrons. Beginning in late
September 2007, all sales for events in Londons West End are fulfilled through a partnership
arrangement between Theatre.com and a London-based ticket agency. Ticketing net revenue is
recognized on the date of performance of the show. Ticketing net revenue received for performances
yet to take place is recorded as deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Ad Sales division net revenue was $8,006,543 for Y3-07 as compared to $7,607,721 for Y3-06, an
increase of $398,822 or 5%, and such net revenues were $2,747,602 and $2,570,826 for Q3-07 and
Q3-06, respectively, an increase of $176,776 or 7%. The increase in Ad Sales revenue in Y3-07 over
Y3-06, and Q3-07 over Q3-06, is attributable primarily to increased commissions earned by
Hollywood.com for ad sales on MovieTickets.com and increases in ad sales in our CinemasOnline
division offset by a decrease in ad revenues from the Hollywood.com website. Ad sales revenues are
generated from the sale of sponsorships and advertisements on Hollywood.com, as well as by
advertisements generated by CinemasOnline.
Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $797,043 for Y3-07 as compared to
$683,405 for Y3-06, an increase of $113,638 or 17%, and such net revenues were $318,350 for Q3-07
as compared to $194,237 for Q3-06, an increase of $124,113, or 64%. The Intellectual Properties
division generates revenues from several different activities including book development and
licensing and intellectual property licensing. Revenues vary quarter to quarter depending 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
Unconsolidated Investees (discussed below).

(b) MovieTickets.com
Hollywood Media owns 26.2% of the total equity in the MovieTickets.com, Inc. joint venture.
Hollywood Media records its investment in MovieTickets.com under the equity method of accounting,
recognizing its percentage interest in MovieTickets.com income or loss as equity in earnings of
investees. We have not recorded any of our 26.2% share of the joint ventures results of
operations in Y3-07, Y3-06, Q3-07 and Q3-06 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 revenues ticketing. Cost of revenues ticketing was $70,599,583 for Y3-07 compared
to $56,026,353 for Y3-06 for an increase of $14,573,230 or 26%. Cost of revenues ticketing for
Q3-07 was $20,423,355 compared to $18,101,600 for Q3-06 for an increase of $2,321,755 or 13%. 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 84% for Y3-07 and Y3-06, and 81% for Q3-07 and 84% for Q3-06, respectively. The decrease in
cost of revenue as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Q3-07 compared to Q3-06 was due in large
part to an increase in service fees charged on individual ticket sales.
Editorial, production, development and technology. Editorial, production, development and
technology costs include payroll and related expenses for the editorial and production staff
responsible for (i) creating content and supporting Ad Sales on Hollywood Medias websites,
including Hollywood.com and Broadway.com, and (ii) supporting Ad Sales on the MovieTickets.com
website. These expenses also include Internet access and computer related expenses for the support
and delivery of these information services, and fees and royalties paid to authors and co-editors
for the intellectual properties segment. Editorial, production, development and technology costs
were $4,594,731 for Y3-07 as compared to $3,811,974 for Y3-06, an increase of $782,757 or 21%, and
$1,587,767 for Q3-07 as compared to $1,350,998 for Q3-06, an increase of $236,769 or 18%. As a
percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales and Intellectual Properties segments, these costs were 51%
and 45% for Y3-07 and Y3-06, respectively, and 51% and 47% for Q3-07 and Q3-06, respectively.
These cost increases were due in large part to increased investment in the Ad Sales segment in
terms of further development of our web sites and new hires in our production and editorial staff.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
consist of occupancy 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 Y3-07 were $11,699,046 compared to $10,449,058 for Y3-06, an increase of
$1,249,988 or 12%. SG&A expenses for Q3-07 were $3,904,735 compared to $3,521,202 in Q3-06, an
increase of $383,533 or 11%. As a percentage of net revenue,
SG&A expenses were 13% and 14% for Y3-07 and
Y3-06, respectively, and 14% for Q3-07 and Q3-06. The increase in SG&A expenses in Y3-07 as compared to
Y3-06 was due in large part to the following: (i) increased occupancy expense of approximately
$484,000 for our Broadway Ticketing division, of which approximately $442,000 is temporary
redundant lease expense while we move our New York offices to new consolidated space nearby, and
(ii) an increase of approximately $663,000 in advertising expenses in our Broadway Ticketing
division. The increase in SG&A expenses in Q3-07 as compared to Q3-06, was due in large part to
the following: (i) increased occupancy expense of approximately $202,000 for our Broadway Ticketing
division, of which approximately $183,000 is temporary redundant lease expense while we move our
New York offices, (ii) increased travel expenses of approximately $44,000, (iii) an increase of
approximately $279,000 in advertising expenses in our Broadway Ticketing division and approximately
$56,000 in our Ad Sales division, and (iv) a decrease in consulting fees of approximately $141,000.
Payroll and Benefits.
Payroll and benefits expenses include payroll and benefits and other types of compensation
expense as well as human resources and administrative functions.
Payroll and benefits expenses for Y3-07 were $12,292,806 compared to $10,435,334 for Y3-06,
for an increase of $1,857,472 or 18%. Payroll and benefits expenses for Q3-07 were $4,218,281
compared to $3,271,800 for Q3-06, an increase of $946,481, or 29%. As a percentage of net
revenues, payroll and benefits expenses were approximately 13% and 14% for Y3-07 and Y3-06,
respectively, and 15% and 13% for Q3-07 and Q3-06, respectively.
The increase in payroll and benefits costs in Y3-07 as compared to Y3-06 was due in large part
to the following factors: (i) approximately $386,000 in additional payroll and benefits expenses
resulting from the acquisition of Showtix in February 2007, (ii) an increase of approximately
$228,000 related to Theatre.com, (iii) an increase of approximately $588,000 in expenses related
to the hiring of additional ad salespersons, support staff and the addition of a new President and
COO of Hollywood.com, (iv) an increase of approximately $202,000 related to CinemasOnline and (v)
an increase in health insurance and accrued expense for matching contributions to the 401(k) plan
of approximately $158,000 and $123,000, respectively.
The increase in payroll and benefits costs in Q3-07 as compared to Q3-06 was due in large part
to the following factors: (i) approximately $84,000 in additional payroll and benefits expenses
resulting from the acquisition of Showtix in February 2007, (ii) an increase of approximately
$68,000 related to Theatre.com, (iii) an increase of approximately $161,000 related to
CinemasOnline, (iv) $383,000 in increased expenses related to the hiring of additional ad
salespersons, support staff and the addition of a new President and COO of Hollywood.com
and (v) an increase in Broadway ticketing payroll and benefits of approximately $220,000 to
support growth.

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 intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,318,629
for Y3-07 as compared to $1,373,840 for Y3-06 for a decrease of $55,211 or 4%. Q3-07 depreciation
and amortization expense was $461,183 compared to $449,598 for Q3-06, an increase of $11,585 or 3%.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in Y3-07 over Y3-06 is primarily due to
assets becoming fully depreciated during or prior to 2007 and an adjustment of estimated lives of
certain intangible assets from the CinemasOnline acquisition. The increase in Q3-07 as compared to
Q3-06 is due to investments in computer equipment offset by assets becoming fully amortized.
Interest, net.
Interest, net was an expense of $87,458 for Y3-07 as compared to an expense of $1,608,894 for
Y3-06 and income of $232,163 for Q3-07 as compared to an expense of $425,100 for Q3-06. The
decrease in net interest expense for Y3-07 as compared to Y3-06, and the increase in interest
income for Q3-07 as compared to Q3-06, was primarily attributable to the payoff of $7.0 million
principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes in May 2007, accretion of debt discount, and increased
income from interest bearing accounts.
Change in derivative liability.
Change in derivative liability was $0 for Y3-07 as compared to income of $584,000
for Y3-06. The change in derivative liability was $0 for Q3-07 as compared to income of $240,000
for Q3-06. The change in derivative liability from Y3-07 as compared to Y3-06 and Q3-07 as
compared to Q3-06 was due to a change in accounting principle from the adoption of a new accounting
pronouncement effective as of January 1, 2007, which eliminated the derivative liability through
additional paid-in capital. See Note 5 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this report.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Hollywood Medias cash and cash equivalents were $34,513,305 at September 30, 2007 as compared
to $27,448,649 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $7,064,656, which increase was attributable in
large part to the cash proceeds from the sale of our Source business of
$22,514,848, described in Note 3 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this report, offset by the following: (i) the May 2007 payment of $7,000,000 principal amount of senior

February 2007, described in Note 4 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this report, and (iii) the purchase during Y2-07 of an additional $3,404,053 of ticket
inventory available for sale by our Broadway Ticketing business. Our net working capital surplus
(defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $27,959,508 at September 30, 2007 as
compared to $16,380,362 at December 31, 2006.
Net cash used in operating activities for continuing operations was $8,603,263 during Y3-07 as

$3,404,053 to purchase Broadway tickets held for sale. Net cash provided by investing activities
for continuing operations was $20,704,442 during Y3-07 as compared to $24,655,223 during Y3-06,
which included, among other things during Y3-07, $22,514,848 received as proceeds from the sale of
our Source business and $2,945,961 received from escrow

Sale of Source Business Unit to West World Media LLC
On August 24, 2007, Hollywood Media and its wholly-owned subsidiary Showtimes.com, Inc.
(Source) entered into and simultaneously closed on a definitive asset purchase agreement with
Brett West and West World Media, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (West World Media),
pursuant to which Hollywood Media sold substantially all of the assets of its Source business to
West World Media for a cash purchase price of $23,000,000 paid to Hollywood Media on the closing
date. The Source business includes the CinemaSource, EventSource and ExhibitorAds operations and
constituted the remainder of Hollywood Medias Data Business Division, which previously included
the Baseline/StudioSystems business unit until it was sold to The New York Times Company on August
25, 2006. West World Media is controlled by Brett West, who founded the Source business in 1995
and sold the business to Hollywood Media in 1999. Mr. West served as president of Hollywood Medias
Source business. The purchase price was determined in an arms length negotiation between Hollywood
Media and West World Media. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment which could
be an increase or a decrease to the extent that the working capital of the business sold as of the
closing date is greater or less than $375,000. Hollywood Medias expenditures relating to the sale
include approximately $800,000 in estimated state and federal income taxes and approximately $1.7
million in fees and expenses payable to Hollywood Medias financial and legal advisors. For
additional information about this transaction, see Note 3 Discontinued Operations in the Notes to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q Report.
Sale of Baseline StudioSystems Business Unit to The New York Times Company
On August 25, 2006, Hollywood Media entered into and simultaneously closed on a definitive
stock purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with The New York Times Company, a New York
corporation (The New York Times), pursuant to which The New York Times purchased all of the
outstanding capital stock of Hollywood Medias wholly-owned subsidiary, Baseline Acquisitions Corp.
(BAC), for a cash purchase price of $35,000,000. BAC was the subsidiary of Hollywood Media that
owned Hollywood Medias Baseline business unit. Baseline constituted a portion of Hollywood Medias
Data Business division. This sale to The New York Times did not include the other components of
Hollywood Medias Data Business division (e.g., CinemaSource, EventSource and ExhibitorAds). $3.5
million dollars of the purchase price was held in escrow for twelve months following the closing to
cover potential indemnification claims by The New York Times under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement. As of September 30, 2007, Hollywood Media received the full amount of the escrow, net of
$700,000 for payment of previously expensed bonuses due the former division heads under
preexisting agreements. The net amount of $2,900,000 of escrow, and accumulated interest, was
received during the three months ended September 30, 2007. For additional information about this
transaction, see Note 3 Discontinued Operations in the notes to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q report.

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.
In May 2007, Hollywood Media paid off the Senior Notes in full, including the $7,000,000 in
principal plus accrued interest, in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes, and there is no
outstanding balance remaining on the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes carried an 8% interest rate
and an initial 12 month term, on which interest was payable in quarterly installments commencing
December 31, 2005. Hollywood Medias proceeds related to the issuance, net of issuance costs, were
$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 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 were not convertible at the option of the holders.
Outlook
The increases in cash and cash equivalents during 2006 and 2007 provided additional working
capital, a portion of which we have been and continue utilizing for our business activities. The
growth of our businesses has required substantial financing, and may require additional capital to
fund our growth plans, which capital requirements we contemplate will be satisfied from our cash
and cash equivalents on hand. Based on our current plans and assumptions for operations and
investment and financing activities, we estimate that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and
anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment
requirements at least through September 30, 2008. 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.
While we expect growth in Hollywood Medias major business units in the year ahead, we have
explored a number of scenarios that may help us to realize the full value of our assets in the
interest of our shareholders. Our strategic review process resulted in the sales of our Baseline
and Source business units in 2006 and 2007, respectively, as described above. We continue to
explore opportunities for generating returns for the Companys shareholders.
Authorization of Stock Repurchase Program
Hollywood Media previously reported in its Form 8-K report filed on October 4, 2007, that its
Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which Hollywood Media Corp. may
use up to $10 million of its cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. As of the
date of this Form 10-Q report, no shares have been repurchased under this stock repurchase program.
Pursuant to the repurchase program, Hollywood Media is authorized to purchase shares of its
common stock from time to time on the open market or in negotiated transactions. The purchases are
to be funded from available cash and cash equivalents, and the timing and amount of any shares
repurchased will be determined by Hollywood Medias management based on its evaluation of financial
and market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The
repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and there is no guarantee as
to the number of shares or the amount of cash to be utilized for repurchases. Repurchased shares
will become authorized but unissued shares of Hollywood Medias common stock.

Cash Usage for Capital Expenditures
Our cash payments for capital expenditures in Y3-07 were approximately $2.0 million. This
does not include any portion of the $2.6 million we paid in February 2007 in connection with our
acquisition of the Broadway ticketing business of Showtix LLC, as further described in Note 4 of
the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. We currently
anticipate additional cash usage for capital expenditures during 2007, after Q3-07, of
approximately $0.2 million for various systems and equipment upgrades, as well as approximately
$2.0 million for construction of leasehold improvements required under our new lease of office
space (described below) in New York, New York. These anticipated 2007 cash outlays for capital
expenditures do not include any estimates for potential business acquisitions.
New York Office Lease
On February 1, 2007, Hollywood Media Corp., through its Theatre Direct subsidiary, entered
into a new lease for 21,600 square feet of space in midtown Manhattan for the purpose of relocating
Hollywood Medias New York headquarters. The term of the lease is for 10 years, commencing on March
1, 2007. The fixed rent for the first year of the lease is $691,200, or $57,600 per month,
increasing two and one-half percent (2.5%) on each of the first, second, third and fourth
anniversaries of the commencement date, eleven percent (11%) on the fifth anniversary of the
commencement date, and two and one-half percent (2.5%) on each of the sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth anniversaries of the commencement date. Theatre Direct will also receive a rental credit of
$57,600 per month for the first fourteen (14) months of the term of the lease. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, lease expense has been included, on a straight-line basis
over the life of the lease, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 2007 which are contained in this Form 10-Q report. Pursuant to the
terms of the lease, Theatre Direct will fund the construction of leasehold improvements for the
rented space.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 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 our
consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our 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
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.
-31-
Table of Contents
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 2 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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 $1,081,434 and $1,159,503 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the allowance for the
Broadway Ticketing Division of $167,470. 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.
Ticketing Revenue Recognition
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
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.
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.
-32-
Table of Contents
In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB 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
Until June 2007, Hollywood Media maintained self-insured retentions for its health benefits
programs and limited its exposure by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. The
estimate of the Companys self-insurance liability contains uncertainty since management was
required to use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that would be incurred to settle reported
claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of each balance sheet date.
When estimating the Companys self-insurance liability, management considered a number of factors,
which included historical claim experience. The self-insurance program was initiated in June 2004.
Management recorded the potential liability under the stop-loss insurance coverage using incurred
but not reported analyses provided by Hollywood Medias broker. The analyses used historical
claims experience data available under the current self-insurance plan, which was then analyzed by
the brokers underwriters. The Company had $21,310 and $124,255 accrued for potential claims at
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The insurance expense under the Hollywood
Media Corp. group insurance plan for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 was
$357,244 and $153,693, respectively, and $216,273 and $95,276 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and is included in payroll and benefits in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations. In June of 2007, Hollywood Media ceased the
self-insurance program in favor of a more cost efficient third party insured plan. The remaining
liability is expected to cover potential claims incurred but not reported, which may be paid, over
the remaining 3 months of the self-insurance tail period.
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.
-33-
Table of Contents
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 Q3-07 or
Q3-06.
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 No. 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 has conducted the required testing on
that date each year commencing in 2002. As of September 30, 2007, 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 apply a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting
unit. We do not believe this hypothetical decrease would result in the impairment of goodwill of
any reporting unit as of September 30, 2007.
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 affected 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 September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006 of U.S. dollar equivalents was $(394,826) and $(238,570), 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 $211,885 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
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 gain of $31,279 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
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 September 30, 2007, 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 16, 2007, management assessed the effectiveness of
Hollywood Medias internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 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 September 30, 2007, Hollywood Media had not 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.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Hollywood Media did not issue any securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, in
transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities
Hollywood Media previously reported in its Form 8-K report filed on October 4, 2007, that its
Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which Hollywood Media Corp. may
use up to $10 million of its cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. This
program was approved by Hollywood Medias Board of Directors on September 28, 2007 and was
initially announced via press release on October 1, 2007.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q report, no shares have been repurchased under this stock
repurchase program.
Pursuant to the repurchase program, Hollywood Media is authorized to purchase shares of its
common stock from time to time on the open market or in negotiated transactions. The purchases are
to be funded from available cash and cash equivalents, and the timing and amount of any shares
repurchased will be determined by Hollywood Medias management based on its evaluation of financial
and market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase program may be
suspended or discontinued at any time and there is no guarantee as to the number of shares or the
amount of cash to be utilized for repurchases. Repurchased shares will become authorized but
unissued shares of Hollywood Medias common stock.
