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 three months ended March 31,
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.
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). Loss per common share is computed by dividing net
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 5,461,560 and 6,467,908 at March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 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
-6-
Table of Contents
not included in the basic calculation until vesting occurs. There were 300,000 and 500,000
unvested shares as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
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 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; customers who have licensed content from Hollywood
Medias syndication businesses; and 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 $1,231,674 and $1,198,370 at March 31, 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.

Table of Contents
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. 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. The Company 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). 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.
We adopted the 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.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On August 25, 2006, Hollywood Media sold to a third party all of the outstanding capital stock
of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Baseline Acquisitions Corp. (BAC), for a cash purchase price of
$35,000,000, subject to a potential post-closing adjustment described below. As per the purchase
agreement, $3,500,000 of the purchase price is being held in escrow for twelve months following the
closing to cover potential indemnification claims, if any, made by the third party. As of March
31, 2007 and to date, Hollywood Media is not aware of any claim against the escrow and estimates
that the full amount of the escrow, net of costs of $700,000 for certain bonuses due to the former
Division Heads, will be released after the one-year period is over as per the terms of the Purchase
Agreement. The net amount of $2,800,000 of escrow, as well as $71,621and $34,926 in interest are
included in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS No. 144), the Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 reflects the discontinued operations.
The net income (loss) from discontinued operations has been classified in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations as Income (loss) from Discontinued operations, net
of tax. There was no impact on income from discontinued operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2007. Summarized results of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31,
2006 were as follows:

(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 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 (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 are not
convertible at the option of the holders.
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 is being 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 $357,983 and $341,174 for the three months ending March 31, 2007 and March
31, 2006, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $266,618 and $624,601 of
unamortized discount on the Senior Notes was reducing the face amount
of the Senior Notes, and is 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 effectiveness 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), Hollywood Media is 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2007, (ii) the Warrant shares issued upon such exercise are available for
resale under Rule 144(k) on March 31, 2009, (iii) the registration statement ceased to be effective
on March 31, 2007 and does not become effective again before March 31, 2009, the remainder of the
required registration period, and (iv) that there are no applicable defenses or limitations at law,
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 material payments are likely
under this registration payment arrangement.

(8) CERTAIN COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Self-Insurance Accruals
Hollywood Media maintains 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
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 $115,491 and $124,255 accrued for
potential claims at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The insurance expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $134,159 and $48,816, respectively, and is
included in payroll and benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Litigation -
Hollywood Media is not currently party to any legal proceedings
expected to have a material adverse impact on its financial condition
or result of operations. Hollywood Media is from time to time a party to various legal proceedings including matters
arising in the ordinary course of business.

NET REVENUES
Total net revenues were $28,370,357 for Q1-07 as compared to $22,542,775 for Q1-06, an
increase of $5,827,582 or 26%. This increase in total net revenues in Q1-07 over Q1-06 was
primarily due to an increase in revenues in our Broadway Ticketing segment (discussed below), which
included increased sales in our Theatre.com operations which began selling tickets to London venues
in February 2006. In Q1-07 net revenues were derived 85% from Broadway Ticketing, 6% from Data
Business, 8% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties. In Q1-06 net revenues were derived
82% from Broadway Ticketing, 7% from Data Business, 10% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual
Properties.
Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $24,033,943 and $18,445,655 for Q1-07 and Q1-06,
respectively, an increase of $5,588,288 or 30%. The increase in Broadway Ticketing net revenues in
Q1-07 over Q1-06 is attributable to the following: (i) the purchase of Showtix on February 1, 2007;
(ii) ticket price increases by theaters, increased number of tickets sold, changes in our marketing
and advertising strategies, increased availability of tickets to top shows; and (iii) a full
quarter of net revenues of $1,491,387 for Theatre.com in Q1-07. Theatre.com commenced operations
in February 2006 providing only nominal net revenues in Q1-06 as operations were beginning to ramp
up. Ticketing net 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 to domestic and international travel professionals, traveling consumers and New York
area theater patrons. 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.

Table of Contents
Data Business net revenues (which includes CinemaSource, EventSource and ExhibitorAds) were
$1,648,721 for Q1-07 as compared to $1,525,438 for Q1-06, an increase of $123,283 or 8%. This
increase in Data Business revenue in Q1-07 over Q1-06 is attributable primarily to additional
licensing agreements entered into in our Data Business. 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 wireless providers. Revenue for
ExhibitorAds is generated by creating exhibitor paid directory ads for insertion in newspapers.
Ad Sales net revenue was $2,413,065 for Q1-07 as compared to $2,280,873 for Q1-06, an increase
of $132,192 or 6%. The increase in Ad Sales revenue from Q1-06 to Q1-07 is primarily attributable
to continued growth in ad sales by Hollywood.com and CinemasOnline as well as increased commission
revenue due to higher ad sales on MovieTickets.com. Ad sales revenues are generated from the sale
of sponsorships and advertisements on Hollywood.com and Broadway.com, as well as by 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 $196,453 for Q1-07 as compared to
$285,809 for Q1-06, a decrease of $89,356 or 31%. The decrease in revenues was attributable
primarily to a 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 of Unconsolidated
Investees (discussed below).
EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEES
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated 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 earnings by NetCo Partners was $204 for Q1-07 compared to $1,705 for Q1-06.
NetCo Partners recognized $408 in income during Q1-07.
(b) MovieTickets.com
Hollywood Media owns 26.2% of the total equity in MovieTickets.com, Inc. joint venture at
March 31, 2007. 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. Hollywood Media shared in 26.2% of the losses or income generated by the
joint venture during Q1-07 and Q1-06. We have not recorded any of our share of the joint ventures
results of operations in Q1-07 and Q1-06 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 $20,211,876 for Q1-07
compared to $14,746,953 for Q1-06 for an increase of $5,464,923 or 37%. 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% and 80% for Q1-07 and
Q1-06 respectively. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Q1-07
compared to Q1-06 was due to increased write-offs of inventory and an increase in group ticket
sales as a percentage of total sales which carry lower gross profit margin.
Editorial, production, development and technology. Editorial, production, development and
technology costs include payroll and related expenses for the editorial and production staff
responsible for creating content on Hollywood Medias websites for our Ad Sales and Data Business
segments, and these expenses also 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 Q1-07 were $1,955,785 compared to $1,685,084 for Q1-06, an increase of
$270,701 or 16%. As a percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales, Data Business and Intellectual
Properties segments, these costs were 45% and 41% for Q1-07 and Q1-06, respectively, increasing as
a percentage of revenues due to increased investment in the Ad Sales
-22-
Table of Contents
segment in terms of further development of our web sites, as well as increased royalty payments in CinemasOnline.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
consist of occupancy costs, production costs, professional and consulting service fees,
telecommunications costs, provision for doubtful accounts receivable, general insurance costs,
selling and marketing costs (such as advertising, marketing, promotional, business development,
public relations, and commissions due to advertising agencies, advertising representative firms
and other parties). SG&A expenses for Q1-07 were $4,266,354 compared to $3,997,903 in Q1-06. SG&A
expenses increased $268,451 or 7% in Q1-07, as compared to Q1-06, due in large part to an increase
of approximately $128,000 in SG&A expense for a full quarter for the U.K. based Theatre.com
subsidiary launched in February 2006 and occupancy expense of approximately $134,000 for additional
office space leased by the ticketing segment and our corporate office. As a percentage of net
revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 15% for Q1-07 from 18% for Q1-06. Barter expense included in
SG&A expense was $0 and $3,992 in Q1-07 and Q1-06, respectively.
We are continuing to develop and implement efficiency improvements and cost-savings measures
anticipated to reduce or better control various elements of SG&A expenses, including certain
overhead reductions, improved accounting systems, 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 2007
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 third party providers in India and are implementing
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 include payroll and benefits and other types of compensation
expense as well as human resources and administrative functions.
Payroll and benefits expenses for Q1-07 were $4,328,773 as compared to $3,708,771 for Q1-06,
an increase of $620,002, or 17%. As a percentage of net revenues, payroll and benefits expenses
were approximately 15% and 16% in Q1-07 and Q1-06, respectively.
The increase in costs from Q1-07 as compared to Q1-06 relating to payroll and benefits was due
in large part to the following factors: addition of new staff in the ticketing segment to
accommodate growth; a full quarter of operations for Theatre.com in Q1-07, which launched in
February 2006, contributed payroll and benefits expense of $65,000; $59,000 in additional expenses
for non-executive employee bonuses; increases in compensation to existing personnel; and other
expense items described below. Additionally, payroll and benefits expense in Q1-07 included:
approximately $132,000 of expense for operations of Showtix which was acquired on February 1, 2007;
expense for increased sales staff for the Ad Sales segment of approximately $76,000; Hollywood
Medias accrued expense for matching contributions to its 401(k) deferred compensation plan for
employees which increased by approximately $93,000; and health insurance cost increases of
approximately $88,000.

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 $476,199
for Q1-07 as compared to $513,668 for Q1-06, a decrease of $34,469, or 7%. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated within
Q1-07 and an adjustment of estimated lives of certain intangible assets from the CinemasOnline
acquisition.
Interest, net.
Interest, net was $181,671 expense for Q1-07, as compared to $624,266 expense for Q1-06. The
decrease in interest, net of $442,595, or 71%, was primarily attributable to increased interest
income from a balance of interest bearing assets as a result of the Baseline sale in August 2006.
Change in derivative liability.
Change
in derivative liability was $0 for Q1-07 as
compared to a negative amount of $240,000 for Q1-06. The change of
$240,000, or 100%, in change in derivative liability in Q1-07 over
Q1-06 was due to the change in accounting principle.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Hollywood Medias cash and cash equivalents were $20,681,951 at March 31, 2007 as compared to
$27,448,649 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $6,766,698 which was attributable in large part to
the purchase of Showtix in February 2007, described in Note 4 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this report, and the purchase during Q1-07 of an additional $2.5 million of ticket inventory available for sale.
Our net working capital surplus (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was
$11,620,727 at March 31, 2007 as compared to $16,380,362 at December 31, 2006.
Net cash used in operating activities for continued operations was $3,936,532 during Q1-07 as
compared to $2,044,289 during Q1-06, which cash usage for Q1-07 included, among other things,
$2,505,733 to purchase Broadway tickets held for sale. Net cash used in investing activities was
$2,987,432 during Q1-07 as compared to $545,072 during Q1-06, which cash usage for Q1-07 included,
among other things, $2,680,659 expended for the purchase of Showtix and $329,339 for capital
expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities was $157,266 during Q1-07 as compared to
net cash provided by financing activities of $4,290 during Q1-06, including, among other things,
$173,803 in proceeds from option exercises partially offset by $16,537 in capital lease payments.
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
-24-
Table of Contents
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 is being 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 the date of this Form 10-Q, Hollywood Media is not aware of any claim
against the escrow and estimates that the full amount of the escrow, net of $700,000 for payment of
previously expensed bonuses due the former division heads under preexisting agreements, will be
released after the one-year period is over as per the terms of the purchase agreement. The
currently expected net escrow payment to Hollywood Media includes $2,800,000 plus $71,621 in
interest, and is included in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. Hollywood Medias expenditures relating to the sale included
approximately $1.5 million in fees and expenses payable to Hollywood Medias financial advisor,
J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., and approximately $3.6 million in sale-related contractual bonuses
payable under performance formulas in preexisting employment agreements with the two principal
managers of Baseline. These managers are no longer employees of Hollywood Media and Hollywood Media
has no further obligations under these employment agreements. 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.
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, 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 are not
convertible at the option of the holders.
Outlook
The increase in cash and cash equivalents during 2006 provided additional capital, a portion
of which we are utilizing for our business activities. The growth of our businesses, including our
data syndication, ticketing and Ad Sales operations has required substantial financing, and may
require additional capital to fund our growth plans and for working capital, 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
-25-
Table of Contents
on hand and anticipated cash flow from operations will
be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment requirements at least through March 31,
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 and plan to
continue to develop these businesses, we are also exploring a number of scenarios that may help us
to realize the full value of our assets in the interest of our shareholders. As stated in our press
release issued on March 13, 2007, we believe Hollywood Medias prospects remain strong and that we
are making the necessary investments and strategic add-ons to position Hollywood Media for
profitability and success. While we continue developing our businesses, we are also working with
JPMorgan as our financial advisor to actively consider opportunities for our businesses, including
potential dispositions. As a result of this ongoing process, Hollywood Media currently is precluded
from implementing certain alternatives for returning cash to shareholders which had been under
consideration by our Board of Directors. When this process is concluded, the Board intends to
resume consideration of alternatives for returning cash to shareholders if deemed appropriate under the circumstances. We cannot make assurances as to the
timing or occurrence of any such events.
Cash Usage for Capital Expenditures
Our cash payments for capital expenditures in Q1-07 were approximately $0.3 million. This
does not include any portion of the $2.6 million paid 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 Q1-07, of approximately $1.4 million for various systems
and equipment upgrades, as well as approximately $1.8 million for construction of leasehold
improvements required under our new lease of office space (described below) in New York, New York.
See Contractual Obligations below, which is updated from the disclosure in our Form 10-K for 2006
and includes changes due to the new lease, among things. These anticipated 2007 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.
Pursuant to the terms of the lease, Theatre Direct will fund the construction of the rented space.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 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. 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 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.
-27-
Table of Contents
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 $1,231,674 and $1,198,370 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the allowance of $49,100 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.
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.

Table of Contents
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 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 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 $115,491 and $124,255 accrued for potential claims at
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The insurance expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $134,159 and $48,816, respectively, and is included in payroll
and benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
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 Q1-07 or
Q1-06.
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
-29-
Table of Contents
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 March 31, 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 not result in the impairment of goodwill
of any reporting unit as of March 31, 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 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.
-30-
Table of Contents
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, 2007
and December 31, 2006 of U.S. dollar equivalents was $(667,880) 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 $270,999 for the quarter ended March 31, 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 reduction charge of $44,096 for the quarter
ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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
-31-
Table of Contents
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 March 31, 2007, 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.
