HOLLYWOOD MEDIA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION:
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Hollywood Media Corp. (“Hollywood Media” 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 Media’s financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may result for the remainder of 2007. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Hollywood Media’s 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 Media’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hollywood Media, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its 51% owned subsidiary, Tekno Books which is a partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and a minority interest has been established to reflect the outside ownership of Tekno Books. Hollywood Media’s 50% and 26.2% ownership interests in NetCo Partners and MovieTickets.com, respectively, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Income (Loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
     Common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants of 2,851,928 and 5,950,236 at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations. Non-vested shares relating to outstanding options and warrants are not included in the basic calculation until vesting occurs. There were 200,000 and 400,000 unvested shares as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Inventories Held for Sale and Deferred Ticket Costs
     Inventories held for sale consist primarily of Broadway tickets or other live theater tickets available for sale. Deferred ticket costs consist of tickets sold (subject to the performance occurring) to groups, individuals, and travel agencies for future performances which have been delivered to the customer or held by the Company as “will call.” Both are carried at cost using the specific identification method. Ticket inventory does not include movie tickets.
     The portion of receivables and inventory balances that relate to the sales of tickets to groups, individuals and travel agencies for Broadway and other live theater shows are, with isolated exceptions, for shows or performances that take place at venues in New York, New York, a major metropolitan area reported as subject to the threat of terrorist acts from time to time by relevant U.S. Government agencies. Hollywood Media recognizes that a significant civil disturbance occurring in New York City could lead to closures of available performance venues for which it may not receive reimbursement of ticket costs and/or payment on outstanding receivables, and could adversely impact the normal conduct of its operations within New York City for an indefinite period of time.
Receivables
     Receivables consist of amounts due from: customers who have advertised on Hollywood Media’s websites and other media; MovieTickets.com for commissions due for ad sales on the MovieTickets.com website; customers who have purchased live theater tickets; and amounts due from publishers relating to signed contracts, to the extent that the earnings process is complete and amounts are realizable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     Hollywood Media maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance includes all receivables 180 days overdue, and other receivables if estimated to be uncollectible. The Company’s accounting for doubtful accounts contains uncertainty because management must use judgment to assess the collectibility of these accounts. When preparing these estimates, management considers a number of factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,081,434 and $1,159,503 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required that could materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different geographical regions.

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 Media’s existing accounting policies conform to the EITF consensus. Ticket revenue and cost of revenue-ticketing are recorded on a gross basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Hotel revenues packages and vouchers sold for New York restaurants are reported on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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 Media’s business segments is contained in Note 7.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides entities the option to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The fair value option is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if the Company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 applies to all entities subject to income taxes and covers all tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
     On May 2, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP FIN 48-1”), which amends FIN 48, to provide guidance about how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under FSP FIN 48-1, a tax position is considered to be effectively settled if the taxing authority completed its examination, the company does not plan to appeal, and it is remote that the taxing authority would re-examine the tax position in the future. Consideration of this guidance had no effect on our application of FIN 48.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Baseline Acquisitions Corp.
     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. As per the purchase agreement, $3,500,000 of the purchase price was held in escrow for twelve months following the closing to cover potential indemnification claims, if any, made by the third party. As of September 30, 2007, Hollywood Media received $2,800,000, representing the full amount of the escrow, net of costs of $700,000 for certain bonuses due to the former division heads.

     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 aggregate purchase consideration was $2,695,483, including $2,600,000 in cash and $95,483 of acquisition costs. In addition, Showtix is also entitled to receive up to $370,000 in cash earn-outs as defined in the agreement. A reconciliation of the purchase price is provided below:

(5) DEBT:
     Senior Unsecured Notes
     On November 23, 2005, Hollywood Media issued and sold $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”) for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $7,000,000. The notes carried an 8% interest rate and an initial 12 month term, on which interest was payable in quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2005. The principal was payable in cash or, at Hollywood Media’s option, in shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock valued on a per share basis at a 5% discount from the 20-day volume-weighted average market price per share of the common stock (“VWAP”) as of the payment date, subject to certain conditions to such option including but not limited to the requirement that the shares be registered for resale. Hollywood Media’s proceeds related to the issuance, net of issuance costs, were $6,595,690. The holders of the Senior Notes also received warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 700,000 shares of Hollywood Media’s 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 Media’s common stock with exercise price per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes were not convertible at the option of the holders.
     On May 18, 2007, the $7,000,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Notes.
     Upon issuance, Hollywood Media recognized the value attributable to the 700,000 issued Warrants in the amount of $1,865,037 as a discount against the Senior Notes. The Company valued the Warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model assuming a risk-free rate of 4.45%, an expected volatility of 69.4% and a five year life; the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $2.66 per share. Additional discount of $286,000 was recorded in conjunction with the 100,000 extension Warrants issued in March of 2006. The Company valued the additional Warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model assuming a risk-free rate of 4.73%, an expected volatility of 64.2% and an approximate five year life; the fair value of the Warrants was determined to be $2.86 per share. The debt discount attributed to the value of the Warrants issued was amortized over the life of the Senior Notes as interest expense using the effective yield method. The Company amortized the Senior Notes debt discount attributed to the value of the Warrants of $624,601 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and $930,229 and

-12-


Table of Contents

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

(8) CERTAIN COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Self-Insurance Accruals
     Until June 2007 Hollywood Media maintained self-insured retentions for its health benefits programs and limited its exposure by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. The estimate of the Company’s self-insurance liability contains uncertainty since management was required to use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that would be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of each balance sheet date. When estimating the Company’s self-insurance liability, management

-19-


Table of Contents

considered a number of factors, which included historical claim experience. The self-insurance program was initiated in June 2004. Management recorded the potential liability under the stop-loss insurance coverage using incurred but not reported analyses provided by Hollywood Media’s broker. The analyses used historical claims experience data available under the current self-insurance plan, which was then analyzed by the broker’s underwriters. The Company accrued $21,310 and $124,255 for potential claims at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The insurance expense under the Hollywood Media group insurance plan for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 was $357,244 and $153,693, respectively, and $216,273 and $95,276 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and is included in “Payroll and Benefits” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In June of 2007, Hollywood Media ceased the self-insurance program in favor of a more cost efficient third party insured plan. The remaining liability is expected to cover potential claims incurred but not reported, which may be paid, over the remaining three months of the self-insurance tail period.
     Litigation
     In August 2007, a lawsuit was filed against Hollywood Media alleging trademark infringement. Hollywood Media has engaged counsel to represent the Company and has filed a counterclaim and an answer to the complaint. Hollywood Media denies any wrongdoing, does not believe any monies are owed and intends to defend this case vigorously.
     In addition to the legal proceeding described above, Hollywood Media is from time to time party to various legal proceedings, including matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

NET REVENUES
     Total net revenues were $92,846,154 for Y3-07 as compared to $75,387,971 for Y3-06, an increase of $17,458,183 or 23%, and $28,207,878 for Q3-07 as compared to $24,391,653 for Q3-06, an increase of $3,816,225 or 16%. The increase in net revenue from Y3-06 to Y3-07 and Q3-07 over Q3-06 was primarily due to growth in our Broadway Ticketing Division. In Q3-07 net revenues were derived 89% from Broadway Ticketing, 10% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties. In Q3-06 net revenues were derived 88% from Broadway Ticketing, 11% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual Properties.
     Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $83,870,628 and $66,980,245 for Y3-07 and Y3-06, respectively, an increase of $16,890,383 or 25%, and such net revenues were $25,086,116 and $21,543,990 for Q3-07 and Q3-06, respectively, an increase of $3,542,126 or 16%. The increase in Broadway Ticketing net revenues in Y3-07 from Y3-06, and in Q3-07 from Q3-06, was primarily due to the following: (i) the purchase of Showtix on February 1, 2007; and (ii) ticket price increases by theaters, increased number of tickets sold, increases in services fees on individual ticket sales and changes in our marketing and advertising strategies. Ticketing net revenue is generated from the sales of live theater tickets for Broadway, off-Broadway and

London’s West End both online via Broadway.com and offline via 1-800-BROADWAY to domestic and international travel professionals, tourists and New York area theater patrons. Beginning in late September 2007, all sales for events in London’s West End are fulfilled through a partnership arrangement between Theatre.com and a London-based ticket agency. Ticketing net revenue is recognized on the date of performance of the show. Ticketing net revenue received for performances yet to take place is recorded as deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
     Ad Sales division net revenue was $8,006,543 for Y3-07 as compared to $7,607,721 for Y3-06, an increase of $398,822 or 5%, and such net revenues were $2,747,602 and $2,570,826 for Q3-07 and Q3-06, respectively, an increase of $176,776 or 7%. The increase in Ad Sales revenue in Y3-07 over Y3-06, and Q3-07 over Q3-06, is attributable primarily to increased commissions earned by Hollywood.com for ad sales on MovieTickets.com and increases in ad sales in our CinemasOnline division offset by a decrease in ad revenues from the Hollywood.com website. Ad sales revenues are generated from the sale of sponsorships and advertisements on Hollywood.com, as well as by advertisements generated by CinemasOnline.
     Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $797,043 for Y3-07 as compared to $683,405 for Y3-06, an increase of $113,638 or 17%, and such net revenues were $318,350 for Q3-07 as compared to $194,237 for Q3-06, an increase of $124,113, or 64%. The Intellectual Properties division generates revenues from several different activities including book development and licensing and intellectual property licensing. Revenues vary quarter to quarter depending on the timing of the delivery of the manuscripts to the publishers. Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete and ultimate collection of such revenues is no longer subject to contingencies. The Intellectual Properties division revenues do not include our 50% interest in NetCo Partners, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and under which Hollywood Media’s share of the income (loss) is reported as Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Investees (discussed below).

     NetCo Partners owns Tom Clancy’s NetForce and is primarily engaged in the development and licensing of Tom Clancy’s NetForce. NetCo Partners recognizes revenues when the earnings process has been completed based on the terms of the various agreements, generally upon the delivery of the manuscript to the publisher and at the point where ultimate collection is substantially assured. When advances are received prior to completion of the earnings process, NetCo Partners defers recognition of revenue until the earnings process has been completed. Hollywood Media owns 50% of NetCo Partners and accounts for its investment under the equity

method of accounting. Hollywood Media’s 50% share of earnings by NetCo Partners was a net gain of $2,061 for Y3-07 compared to a net loss of $1,550 for Y3-06, an increase of $3,611. Hollywood Media’s 50% share of earnings was a net gain of $1,186 for Q3-07 as compared to a net gain of $218 for Q3-06, an increase of $968. NetCo Partners recognized $2,372 in income during Q3-07.
     (b) MovieTickets.com
     Hollywood Media owns 26.2% of the total equity in the MovieTickets.com, Inc. joint venture. Hollywood Media records its investment in MovieTickets.com under the equity method of accounting, recognizing its percentage interest in MovieTickets.com income or loss as equity in earnings of investees. We have not recorded any of our 26.2% share of the joint venture’s results of operations in Y3-07, Y3-06, Q3-07 and Q3-06 related to our investment in MovieTickets.com because the investment has been reduced to zero. Hollywood Media is currently not providing for additional losses, if any, generated by MovieTickets.com as Hollywood Media has not guaranteed to fund future losses, if any, generated by MovieTickets.com. The MovieTickets.com web site generates revenues from service fees charged to users for the purchase of movie tickets online and the sale of advertising.
OPERATING EXPENSES
     Cost of revenues — ticketing. Cost of revenues — ticketing was $70,599,583 for Y3-07 compared to $56,026,353 for Y3-06 for an increase of $14,573,230 or 26%. Cost of revenues — ticketing for Q3-07 was $20,423,355 compared to $18,101,600 for Q3-06 for an increase of $2,321,755 or 13%. Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of tickets and credit card fees for the Broadway Ticketing segment, partially offset by rebates received from certain producers based on exceeding certain ticketing sales goals. As a percentage of ticketing revenue, cost of revenue — ticketing was 84% for Y3-07 and Y3-06, and 81% for Q3-07 and 84% for Q3-06, respectively. The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Q3-07 compared to Q3-06 was due in large part to an increase in service fees charged on individual ticket sales.
     Editorial, production, development and technology. Editorial, production, development and technology costs include payroll and related expenses for the editorial and production staff responsible for (i) creating content and supporting Ad Sales on Hollywood Media’s websites, including Hollywood.com and Broadway.com, and (ii) supporting Ad Sales on the MovieTickets.com website. These expenses also include Internet access and computer related expenses for the support and delivery of these information services, and fees and royalties paid to authors and co-editors for the intellectual properties segment. Editorial, production, development and technology costs were $4,594,731 for Y3-07 as compared to $3,811,974 for Y3-06, an increase of $782,757 or 21%, and $1,587,767 for Q3-07 as compared to $1,350,998 for Q3-06, an increase of $236,769 or 18%. As a percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales and Intellectual Properties segments, these costs were 51% and 45% for Y3-07 and Y3-06, respectively, and 51% and 47% for Q3-07 and Q3-06, respectively. These cost increases were due in large part to increased investment in the Ad Sales segment in terms of further development of our web sites and new hires in our production and editorial staff.

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

     Depreciation and amortization.
     Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of property and equipment, furniture and fixtures, web site development, leasehold improvements, equipment under capital leases and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,318,629 for Y3-07 as compared to $1,373,840 for Y3-06 for a decrease of $55,211 or 4%. Q3-07 depreciation and amortization expense was $461,183 compared to $449,598 for Q3-06, an increase of $11,585 or 3%. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in Y3-07 over Y3-06 is primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated during or prior to 2007 and an adjustment of estimated lives of certain intangible assets from the CinemasOnline acquisition. The increase in Q3-07 as compared to Q3-06 is due to investments in computer equipment offset by assets becoming fully amortized.
     Interest, net.
     Interest, net was an expense of $87,458 for Y3-07 as compared to an expense of $1,608,894 for Y3-06 and income of $232,163 for Q3-07 as compared to an expense of $425,100 for Q3-06. The decrease in net interest expense for Y3-07 as compared to Y3-06, and the increase in interest income for Q3-07 as compared to Q3-06, was primarily attributable to the payoff of $7.0 million principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes in May 2007, accretion of debt discount, and increased income from interest bearing accounts.
     Change in derivative liability.
     Change in derivative liability was $0 for Y3-07 as compared to income of $584,000 for Y3-06. The change in derivative liability was $0 for Q3-07 as compared to income of $240,000 for Q3-06. The change in derivative liability from Y3-07 as compared to Y3-06 and Q3-07 as compared to Q3-06 was due to a change in accounting principle from the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement effective as of January 1, 2007, which eliminated the derivative liability through additional paid-in capital. See Note 5 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Hollywood Media’s cash and cash equivalents were $34,513,305 at September 30, 2007 as compared to $27,448,649 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $7,064,656, which increase was attributable in large part to the cash proceeds from the sale of our Source business of $22,514,848, described in Note 3 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, offset by the following: (i) the May 2007 payment of $7,000,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes, described below, (ii) $2,690,659 of cash used for the purchase of Showtix in February 2007, described in Note 4 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, and (iii) the purchase during Y2-07 of an additional $3,404,053 of ticket inventory available for sale by our Broadway Ticketing business. Our net working capital surplus (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $27,959,508 at September 30, 2007 as compared to $16,380,362 at December 31, 2006.

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

Senior Unsecured Notes Issued in 2005
     On November 23, 2005, Hollywood Media issued and sold $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”) for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $7,000,000. In May 2007, Hollywood Media paid off the Senior Notes in full, including the $7,000,000 in principal plus accrued interest, in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes, and there is no outstanding balance remaining on the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes carried an 8% interest rate and an initial 12 month term, on which interest was payable in quarterly installments commencing December 31, 2005. Hollywood Media’s 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 Media’s 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 Media’s common stock with exercise price per share at $4.29. The Senior Notes were not convertible at the option of the holders.
Outlook
     The increases in cash and cash equivalents during 2006 and 2007 provided additional working capital, a portion of which we have been and continue utilizing for our business activities. The growth of our businesses has required substantial financing, and may require additional capital to fund our growth plans, which capital requirements we contemplate will be satisfied from our cash and cash equivalents on hand. Based on our current plans and assumptions for operations and investment and financing activities, we estimate that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment requirements at least through September 30, 2008. If our plans change or our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may need to seek further financing or curtail our growth and/or operations. We believe that our long-term financial success ultimately depends on our ability to generate enough revenue to offset operating expenses.
     While we expect growth in Hollywood Media’s major business units in the year ahead, we have explored a number of scenarios that may help us to realize the full value of our assets in the interest of our shareholders. Our strategic review process resulted in the sales of our Baseline and Source business units in 2006 and 2007, respectively, as described above. We continue to explore opportunities for generating returns for the Company’s shareholders.
Authorization of Stock Repurchase Program
     Hollywood Media previously reported in its Form 8-K report filed on October 4, 2007, that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which Hollywood Media Corp. may use up to $10 million of its cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. As of the date of this Form 10-Q report, no shares have been repurchased under this stock repurchase program.
     Pursuant to the repurchase program, Hollywood Media is authorized to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time on the open market or in negotiated transactions. The purchases are to be funded from available cash and cash equivalents, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by Hollywood Media’s management based on its evaluation of financial and market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and there is no guarantee as to the number of shares or the amount of cash to be utilized for repurchases. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock.

Cash Usage for Capital Expenditures

This does not include any portion of the $2.6 million we paid in February 2007 in connection with our acquisition of the Broadway ticketing business of Showtix LLC, as further described in Note 4 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. We currently anticipate additional cash usage for capital expenditures during 2007, after Q3-07, of approximately $0.2 million for various systems and equipment upgrades, as well as approximately $2.0 million for construction of leasehold improvements required under our new lease of office space (described below) in New York, New York. These anticipated 2007 cash outlays for capital expenditures do not include any estimates for potential business acquisitions.
New York Office Lease
     On February 1, 2007, Hollywood Media Corp., through its Theatre Direct subsidiary, entered into a new lease for 21,600 square feet of space in midtown Manhattan for the purpose of relocating Hollywood Media’s New York headquarters. The term of the lease is for 10 years, commencing on March 1, 2007. The fixed rent for the first year of the lease is $691,200, or $57,600 per month, increasing two and one-half percent (2.5%) on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the commencement date, eleven percent (11%) on the fifth anniversary of the commencement date, and two and one-half percent (2.5%) on each of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth anniversaries of the commencement date. Theatre Direct will also receive a rental credit of $57,600 per month for the first fourteen (14) months of the term of the lease. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, lease expense has been included, on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 which are contained in this Form 10-Q report. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, Theatre Direct will fund the construction of leasehold improvements for the rented space.

     At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes of the sort contemplated by paragraph 4 of Item 303 of SEC Regulation S-K. As such, management believes that we currently do not have any disclosures to make of the sort contemplated by paragraph 4 of Item 303 regarding “off-balance sheet arrangements.”
Critical Accounting Policies
     In response to the SEC’s Release Number 33-8040 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” and SEC Release Number 33-8056, “Commission Statement about Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of 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, 2006.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     Hollywood Media maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company’s accounting for doubtful accounts contains uncertainty because management must use judgment to assess the collectibility of these accounts. When preparing these estimates, management considers a number of factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,081,434 and $1,159,503 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the allowance for the Broadway Ticketing Division of $167,470. Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required that could materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different geographical regions.
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 Media’s existing accounting policies conform to the EITF consensus. Ticket revenue and cost of revenue-ticketing are recorded on a gross basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Hotel revenues packages and vouchers sold for New York restaurants are reported on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
     Self-Insurance Accruals
     Until June 2007, Hollywood Media maintained self-insured retentions for its health benefits programs and limited its exposure by maintaining stop-loss and aggregate liability coverage. The estimate of the Company’s self-insurance liability contains uncertainty since management was required to use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that would be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of each balance sheet date. When estimating the Company’s self-insurance liability, management considered a number of factors, which included historical claim experience. The self-insurance program was initiated in June 2004. Management recorded the potential liability under the stop-loss insurance coverage using incurred but not reported analyses provided by Hollywood Media’s broker. The analyses used historical claims experience data available under the current self-insurance plan, which was then analyzed by the broker’s underwriters. The Company had $21,310 and $124,255 accrued for potential claims at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The insurance expense under the Hollywood Media Corp. group insurance plan for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 was $357,244 and $153,693, respectively, and $216,273 and $95,276 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and is included in “payroll and benefits” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In June of 2007, Hollywood Media ceased the self-insurance program in favor of a more cost efficient third party insured plan. The remaining liability is expected to cover potential claims incurred but not reported, which may be paid, over the remaining 3 months of the self-insurance tail period.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     Effective December 31, 2001, Hollywood Media adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 superseded SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 121”) and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” (“APB No. 30”) for the disposal of a segment of a business. Consistent with SFAS No. 121, SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.

-33-


Table of Contents

     We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values. We determined fair value as the net present value of future cash flows. Based on these evaluations, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of long lived assets in Q3-07 or Q3-06.
     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS No. 142). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 were no longer subject to amortization. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives acquired prior to June 30, 2001 ceased to be amortized beginning January 1, 2002. In addition, SFAS No. 142 changed the way we evaluated goodwill and intangibles for impairment. Beginning January 1, 2002, goodwill and certain intangibles are no longer amortized; however, they are subject to evaluation for impairment at least annually using a fair value based test. The fair value based test is a two-step test. The first step involved comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to the carrying value of those reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we are required to proceed to the second step. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit would be allocated to the assets (including unrecognized intangibles) and liabilities of the reporting unit, with any residual representing the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized if and to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the implied value.
     As prescribed by SFAS No. 142, we completed the transitional goodwill impairment test by the second quarter of 2002 which did not result in an impairment charge. Additionally, Hollywood Media established October 1, as its annual impairment test date and has conducted the required testing on that date each year commencing in 2002. As of September 30, 2007, we are not aware of any items or events that would cause us to adjust the recorded value of Hollywood Media’s goodwill for impairment. Future changes in estimates used to conduct the impairment review, including revenue projections or market values could cause the analysis to indicate that Hollywood Media’s goodwill is impaired in subsequent periods and result in a write-off of a portion or all of the goodwill. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations of our reporting units on the impairment calculation, we apply a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit. We do not believe this hypothetical decrease would result in the impairment of goodwill of any reporting unit as of September 30, 2007.
Inflation and Seasonality
     Although we cannot accurately determine the precise effects of inflation, we do not believe inflation has a material effect on revenue or results of operations. We consider our business to be somewhat seasonal and expect net revenues to be generally higher during the second and fourth quarters of each fiscal year for our Tekno Books book licensing business as a result of the general publishing industry practice of paying royalties semi-annually. The Broadway Ticketing Business is also affected by seasonal variations with net revenues generally higher in the second quarter as a result of increased sales volumes due to the Tony Awards© and in the fourth quarter due to increased levels during the holiday period. In addition, although not seasonal, our Intellectual Properties division and NetCo Partners both experience fluctuations in their respective revenue streams, earnings and cash flow as a result of the amount of time that is expended in the creation and development of the intellectual properties and their respective licensing agreements. The recognition of licensing revenue is typically triggered by specific contractual events which occur at different points in time rather than on a regular periodic basis.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
     Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in our assets or liabilities that might occur due to changes in market rates and prices, such as interest or foreign currency exchange rates, as well as other relevant market rate or price changes.
     Interest rates charged on Hollywood Media’s debt instruments are primarily fixed in nature. We therefore do not believe that the risk of loss relating to the effect of changes in market interest rates is material.
     We have an investment in a subsidiary in the United Kingdom and sell our services into this foreign market. Our foreign net asset/exposures (defined as assets denominated in foreign currency less liabilities denominated in foreign currency) for the United Kingdom at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of U.S. dollar equivalents was $(394,826) and $(238,570), respectively.
     Our United Kingdom subsidiary sells services and pays for products and services in British pounds. A decrease in the British foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our margins. An assumed 10% depreciation of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (i.e., in addition to actual exchange experience) would have resulted in a translation reduction of our revenue by $211,885 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
     As the assets, liabilities and transactions of our United Kingdom subsidiary are denominated in British pounds, the results and financial condition are subject to translation adjustments upon their conversion into U.S. dollars for our financial reporting purposes. A 10% decline in this foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar (i.e., in addition to actual exchange experience) would have resulted in a translation gain of $31,279 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. However, a larger decline in the British foreign currency could have a larger and possibly material adverse affect.
     We purchase and sell live theater tickets to shows in London’s West End. We minimize our exposure to adverse changes in currency exchange rates by taking steps to reduce the time lag between the purchase and payment of tickets for the London shows and the collection of related sales proceeds. We do not believe the risk of loss relating to adverse changes in currency exchange rates to be material.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of Hollywood Media’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q report. Based on that evaluation and the material weakness described below, Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, have concluded that Hollywood Media’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of September 30, 2007, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) accumulated and communicated to Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     As previously reported in Hollywood Media’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007, management assessed the effectiveness of Hollywood Media’s 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 Media’s Broadway Ticketing business, which are more fully described in such Form 10-K, constituted a material weakness in Hollywood Media’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 2), or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of September 30, 2007, Hollywood Media had not remediated this material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     There have been no changes in Hollywood Media’s 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 Media’s internal control over financial reporting.

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