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,
2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may result for
the remainder of 2008. 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, 2007, 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 during the period presented.
Common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of
outstanding options and warrants covering a total of 2,736,428 shares and 5,461,560 shares at March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, because their impact was
anti-dilutive to the loss per share from continuing operations. Non-vested shares are not
included in the basic calculation until vesting occurs. There were 100,000 and 300,000
unvested shares as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 receivable 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 United States Government agencies. Hollywood Media recognizes that the occurrence of such
a terrorist act, a labor strike or dispute, or any other significant civil disturbance occurring in
New York City could lead to closures of available performance venues for which Hollywood Media 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 (a) customers who have advertised on Hollywood Medias
and MovieTickets.coms websites, (b) customers who purchased live theater tickets, (c) box offices
for commission on live theater tickets sold to groups and refunds for performances that did not
occur, and (d) 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 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 $1,122,930 and $1,166,425 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. The allowance is primarily attributable to receivables due from customers of the
U.K. based companies CinemasOnline Limited, UK Theatres Online Limited, WWW.CO.UK Limited and
Spring Leisure Limited (collectively known as Cinemas Online). 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 condensed 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 our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, 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 our
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, at the time of receipt, and if redeemed, are
recognized as revenue in the period the performance of the show occurs, or upon expiration of the
unredeemed gift certificate. Gift certificates issued after March 22, 2007 do not expire. Prior
to March 22, 2007, gift certificates were issued with a one-year expiration from the date of
issuance.
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 our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets,
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 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 our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, 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 Financial Accounting and
Standards Board (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 our
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Hotel revenues packages and vouchers
sold for New York restaurants are reported on a net basis in our accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
Segment Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 131.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
No. 141(R)), which amends SFAS No. 141, and provides revised guidance for recognizing and
measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No.
141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied
prospectively.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes
accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of any
retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also
establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of
the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the potential
impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all periods
presented to reflect the operations, assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations described below.
Showtimes.com, Inc.
On August 24, 2007, Hollywood Media Corp. entered into and simultaneously closed on a
definitive asset purchase agreement with West World Media and its principal, a former employee,
pursuant to which Hollywood Media sold to West World Media substantially all of the assets of its
Showtimes business, for a cash purchase price of $23,000,000, subject to a working capital
post-closing adjustment. The working capital post-closing adjustment was a price reduction of
$114,454, which was paid by Hollywood Media to West World Media in January 2008.
The Showtimes business included 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 in August 2006.

(4) ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS:
Showtix Acquisition
On February 1, 2007, Hollywood Media through its wholly-owned subsidiary Theatre Direct NY,
Inc. (Theatre Direct) entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Showtix LLC
(Showtix) and each of its members for the acquisition by Theatre Direct of substantially all of
the assets of Showtix. Showtix is a full service, licensed group ticketing sales agency that sells
tickets for Broadway and Off-Broadway theatrical performances. The acquisition was completed and
closed on February 1, 2007. The acquisition allows Theatre
Direct to increase its presence in the Broadway ticketing industry. The aggregate purchase consideration
was $2,738,796, including $2,600,000 in cash and $138,796 of acquisition costs. In addition,
Showtix is also entitled to receive up to $370,000 in potential periodic cash earn-outs as defined in the agreement.
During the first quarter of 2008, Hollywood paid Showtix $43,313 pursuant to the first earnout then due.
Additional earnouts are expected to be paid in each of four remaining years of the earnout period,
but cannot be measured at this time. During the first quarter of 2008, Hollywood Media completed
its evaluation of the acquired assets and liabilities which resulted in the recording of certain
intangible assets (customer lists and non-competition agreements), which are being amortized over 6
years and 5 years, respectively. The fair market value at acquisition of these assets was $470,760
and the reconciliation of the purchase price has been adjusted to reflect this. A reconciliation
of the purchase price is provided below:

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 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 an exercise price
per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes were not convertible at the option of the holders.

Table of Contents
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 $357,983 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007.
Registration Payment Arrangement
As required by the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the above
mentioned 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 March 31, 2008, none of the Warrants have been exercised, no
Warrant shares have been issued, and the registration statement continues to be effective.
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, 2008, (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 in violation of the agreement on March 31, 2008 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 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 $635,000. Management does not believe that any significant material payments are
likely under this registration payment arrangement.

NET REVENUES
Total net revenues were $28,345,989 for Q1-08 as compared to $26,721,636 for Q1-07, an
increase of $1,624,353 or 6%. The increase in net revenue from Q1-08 over Q1-07 was primarily due
to growth in our Broadway Ticketing Division. In Q1-08 net revenues were derived 89% from Broadway
Ticketing, 10% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties. In Q1-07 net revenues were
derived 90% from Broadway Ticketing, 9% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties.
Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $25,288,017 and $24,033,943 for Q1-08 and Q1-07,
respectively, an increase of $1,254,074 or 5%. The increase in Broadway Ticketing net revenues in
Q1-08 from Q1-07, was primarily due to the following: (a) an increase in revenue of $2,687,199
attributable to (i) the purchase of Showtix on February 1, 2007, and (ii) ticket price increases by
theaters, increases in services fees on individual ticket sales and changes in our marketing and
advertising strategies; offset in part by (b) a decrease in revenue of $1,433,125 from Theatre.com,
our London ticketing operation, primarily as a result of shifting from Theatre.com handling its own
sales to an arrangement with a third party ticket agency in September 2007. As a result of this
arrangement, Theatre.com now recognizes revenue based on net commissions instead of gross ticket
price. 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 offline via 1-800-BROADWAY to
domestic and international travel professionals, tourists 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 sheets.
Ad Sales division net revenue was $2,622,287 for Q1-08 as compared to $2,413,065 for Q1-07, an
increase of $209,222 or 9%. The increase in Ad Sales revenue in Q1-08 over Q1-07, 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 advertising and
sponsorships on Hollywood.com as well as advertising sales 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 $333,133 for Q1-08 as compared to
$196,453 for Q1-07, an increase of $136,680 or 70%. 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 is reported as Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated
Investees (discussed below).

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 a net gain of $3,439 for Q1-08 as compared to a

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.coms income or loss as equity in earnings of
unconsolidated investees. Under applicable accounting principles, Hollywood Media has not recorded
income from its investment in MovieTickets.com for Q1-08 and Q1-07 because accumulated losses from
prior years exceed MovieTickets.coms accumulated net income. 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 for Q1-08 was $20,873,887 compared
to $20,211,876 for Q1-07 for an increase of $662,011 or 3%. Cost of revenue consists primarily of
the cost of tickets and credit card fees for the Broadway Ticketing segment, partially offset by
rebates received from certain producers based on exceeding certain ticketing sales goals. As a
percentage of ticketing revenue, cost of revenues ticketing was 83% for Q1-08 and 84% for Q1-07.
The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Q1-08
compared to Q1-07 was due in large part to an increase in our service fees charged on
individual ticket sales, as well as the above-described change to a net revenue share business
model in the U.K. at our Theatre.com ticketing site. This change at Theatre.com increased the
profitability of the U.K. business even though Theatre.coms revenue declined in Q1-08 compared to
Q1-07 as described above. We continue to benefit from the pricing flexibility resulting from the
2007 regulatory changes in New York, which contributed to growth in our Broadway Ticketing
margins. We have increased ticket pricing flexibility following the adoption of legislation in New
York during 2007 that eliminated price caps on service fees on event tickets. We continue adjusting
and evaluating our pricing models on our consumer sales. As a result, our overall margin percentage on consumer ticket sales increased during Q1-08
as compared to Q1-07. The overall Broadway Ticketing segments gross margin percentage on ticket
sales is influenced by the mix of consumer ticket sales and group sales, because group sales
typically generate lower margin than consumer sales, and the consumer-to-group ratio varies from
period to period.

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 $1,759,511 for Q1-08 as compared to $1,458,679 for Q1-07, an increase of $300,832 or 21%. As
a percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales and Intellectual Properties segments, these costs were
58% and 54% for Q1-08 and Q1-07, 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 and 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 Q1-08 were $4,455,744 compared to $4,069,440 in Q1-07, an increase of $386,304 or
9%. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses were 16% and 15% for Q1-08 and Q1-07,
respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses in Q1-08 compared to Q1-07, was due in large part to
the following: (i) increases in legal, consulting and telephone expenses and charitable
contributions, offset in part by reduced expenditures for public accounting firm audit and review
services, internal controls consultant, and employee recruiting, (ii) increased travel expenses of
approximately $115,000, and (iii) increased office rent and occupancy expense of approximately
$59,000. SG&A expenses in Q1-08 compared to Q1-07 included a reduction in costs for Theatre.com
resulting from the business model change to using a third party
ticket agency for the U.K. ticketing
business.
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 Q1-08 were $3,915,243 compared to $3,953,945 for Q1-07, a
decrease of $38,702, or 1%. As a percentage of net revenues, payroll and benefits expenses were
approximately 14% and 15% for Q1-08 and Q1-07, respectively.
The slight decrease in payroll and benefits costs in Q1-08 as compared to Q1-07 was due in
part to the following factors: cost cutting measures in the Broadway Ticketing and Cable TV
divisions, offset in part by increases relating to additional salespersons for the Ad Sales
division and the new President of Hollywood.com who joined in the third quarter of 2007.

Depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of property and equipment,
furniture and fixtures, web site development, leasehold improvements, and equipment under capital
leases and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense was $654,654
for Q1-08 as compared to $429,321 for Q1-07, an increase of $225,333 or 52%. The increase in Q1-08
as compared to Q1-07 is due to investments in computer equipment and new office space in New York
City, as well as amortization on intangible assets purchased as part of the acquisition of Showtix.
Interest, net.
Interest, net was income of $178,134 for Q1-08 as compared to an expense of $181,325 for
Q1-07. The increase in interest income for Q1-08 as compared to Q1-07, was primarily attributable
to the payoff of $7,000,000 principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes in May 2007, accretion of
debt discount, and increased income from interest bearing accounts.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Hollywood Medias cash and cash equivalents were $23,373,125 at March 31, 2008 as compared to
$26,758,550 at December 31, 2007. Our net working capital (defined as current assets less current
liabilities) was $17,511,594 at March 31, 2008 as compared to $20,161,486 at December 31, 2007.
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during Q1-08 was $2,588,577,
which cash usage was primarily attributable to the loss from continuing operations. Net cash used
in operating activities from continuing operations during Q1-07 was $4,688,046.
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations during Q1-08 was $747,172,
which net cash outlays included, among other things, $589,186 for capital expenditures and $114,673
for the acquisition of certain domain names to be used in the Ad Sales segment. Net cash used in
investing activities from continuing operations during Q1-07 was $2,983,754, which net cash outlays
included, among other things, $2,680,659 for the acquisition of Showtix and $325,661 for capital
expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations during Q1-08 was $49,676,
which cash usage included, payments under capital lease obligations
and an outstanding notes
payable. Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations during Q1-07 was
$161,393.

Sale of Showtimes Business Unit to West World Media LLC
On August 24, 2007, Hollywood Media and its wholly-owned subsidiary Showtimes, entered into
and simultaneously closed on a definitive asset purchase agreement with Brett West and West World
Media, pursuant to which Hollywood Media sold substantially all of the assets of the Showtimes
business to West World Media for a cash purchase price of $23,000,000 paid to Hollywood Media on
the closing date. The Showtimes business included 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 on August 25, 2006. West World Media is controlled by Brett West, who founded the Showtimes
business in 1995 and sold the business to Hollywood Media in 1999. Mr. West served as president of
Hollywood Medias Showtimes business. The purchase price was determined in an arms length
negotiation between Hollywood Media and West World Media. The purchase price decreased due to a
post-closing working capital adjustment of $114,454 paid by Hollywood Media to West World Media in
January 2008. Hollywood Medias expenditures relating to the sale include approximately $553,000
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 Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q Report.
Acquisition of Showtix Business
On February 1, 2007, TDI invested approximately $2.7 million in cash to consummate its
acquisition of the Broadway ticketing business of Showtix. For additional information about this
transaction, see Note 4 Acquisitions and Other Capital Transactions in the Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1, of 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, 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.
$3,500,000 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 $2,800,000 of escrow, and accumulated interest, was received during
the three months ended September 30, 2007.
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. 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 net cash proceeds from 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.

Capital Expenditures
Hollywood Medias capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2008 were $589,186. We
currently anticipate additional capital expenditures during 2008 of approximately $900,000
including but not limited to expenditures for computer equipment, servers and costs associated with
web site development. These anticipated 2008 capital expenditures exclude amounts related to
business acquisitions, if any.
Outlook
Our cash and cash equivalents generated from the sales of our Baseline/StudioSystems and
Showtimes businesses in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007, respectively, have provided substantial
additional working capital for Hollywood Media, and we have utilized portions of such working
capital for various corporate purposes and business activities including, among other things, the
repayment of debt and the purchase of the Showtix business referenced above, improvements and
investments in various aspects of our Broadway Ticketing and Ad Sales divisions, and for the
repurchase of shares of Hollywood Medias common stock pursuant to our previously announced stock
repurchase program (discussed below). Our businesses have 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 on hand and anticipated cash flow from operations will
be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment requirements at least through March 31,
2009. 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 more than offset operating
expenses.
While we continue to develop our businesses, as previously reported we have resumed our
strategic review process which may help us realize the full value of our assets in the interest of
our shareholders. In prior years, our strategic review process resulted in the sales of our
Baseline/StudioSystems and Showtimes businesses in 2006 and 2007, respectively. We continue to
explore opportunities for generating returns for Hollywood Medias shareholders including potential
dispositions or other strategic transactions. Prior to resuming our strategic review
process, we had, as stated in our press release dated October 1, 2007, temporarily suspended
such process when our Board of Directors approved the stock repurchase program referenced below.
We cannot make assurances as to the timing or occurrence of any future strategic transactions or
further stock repurchases.
Authorization of Stock Repurchase Program
Hollywood Media previously reported in its current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
October 4, 2007, that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which
Hollywood Media may use up to $10,000,000 of its cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding
common stock. As reported in Hollywood Medias Form 10-K report for the 2007 fiscal year, the
stock repurchases by Hollywood Media during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 resulted in the
repurchase of an aggregate of 2,003,660 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$5,104,204, reflecting an average price paid per share of $2.55. There have been no repurchases
since the fourth quarter of 2007. For additional information about Hollywood Medias stock
repurchase program, see Part II, Item 2, of this Form 10-Q report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 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, 2007.
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 $1,122,930 and $1,166,425 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. The allowance is primarily attributable to receivables due from customers of
CinemasOnline. 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 our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, 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 our
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, at the time of receipt, and if redeemed, are
recognized as revenue in the period the performance of the show occurs, or upon expiration of the
unredeemed gift certificate. Gift certificates issued after March 22, 2007 do not expire. Prior
to March 22, 2007, gift certificates were issued with a one-year expiration from the date of
issuance.
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 our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets,
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 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 our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, at
the time of receipt, and are recognized as revenue on the date the voucher is presented, or upon
expiration of the voucher.
In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB 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 our
accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations. Hotel revenues packages and vouchers sold for New York restaurants are
reported on a net basis in our accompanying condensed 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 Q1-08 or
Q1-07.
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 are 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 March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008.
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 March 31, 2008
and December 31, 2007 of U.S. dollar equivalents was $(1,588,528) and $(1,420,089), 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 $140,098 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
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 $16,815 for the quarter ended March 31,
2008. However, a larger decline in the British foreign currency could have a larger and possibly
material adverse affect.
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, 2008, to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by Hollywood Media in reports that it files or submits 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 17, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of
Hollywood Medias internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 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 Auditing Standard No. 5), or a combination of control
deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of March 31, 2008,
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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Management has not identified any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed
in Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Hollywood Media did not issue any securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, in
transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities
Hollywood Media reported in its Form 8-K report filed on October 4, 2007 that its Board of
Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which Hollywood Media Corp. may use up to
$10,000,000 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.
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
