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”, “our” 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 of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations.  However, management believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The accompanying financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Hollywood Media’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  The results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the remainder of 2011.  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, 2010, 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 non-controlling 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.

Loss per Common Share

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share” (ASC 260), requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).  Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Hollywood Media Corp. (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period presented.

The weighted average number of common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and upon exercise of outstanding options totaled 80,435 shares for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and such shares were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, because their impact was anti-dilutive to the loss per share from continuing operations.  Unvested shares are not included in the basic calculation until vesting occurs and are not included in the diluted calculation because they are anti-dilutive.  There were no unvested shares as of September 30, 2011.  There were 233,333 unvested shares as of September 30, 2010.

Receivables

Receivables consist of unsecured amounts due from customers who have advertised on plasma TV displays, posters, brochures and websites in the Company’s U.K. business and amounts due from publishers relating to signed contracts in connection with the Company’s Intellectual Property business, 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 (“Allowance”) 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 estimated collectability of these accounts. When preparing these estimates, management considers a number of factors, including the aging of customers’ accounts, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Allowance was $253,534 and $308,713 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The Allowance is primarily attributable to receivables due from customers of the United Kingdom based companies CinemasOnline Limited, U.K. Theatres Online Limited, WWW.CO.U.K. Limited and Spring Leisure Limited (collectively known as “CinemasOnline”).  Although the Company believes its Allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, additional Allowances may be required and the additional Allowances could materially impact the Company’s condensed 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 within the U.K. (See Note 8).

Segment Information

ASC Topic No. 280, “Segment Reporting”, 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.  ASC Topic No. 280 has been applied to the information appearing in Note 7.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative liabilities are comprised of the compensation arrangements for Mitchell Rubenstein, Chairman and CEO of the Company and Laurie Silvers, Vice Chair and President of the Company relating to their each being entitled to receive 5% of any dividends and other distributions received by the Company on account of its interest in MovieTickets.com, Inc. which includes 5% of any proceeds received by the Company from the sale of all or any portion of MovieTickets.com.  For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, $52,444 of this compensation arrangement has been paid to each of Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers. The Company records compensation derivative liabilities in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet within the “Derivative Liabilities” at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivative liabilities will be reported in the results of operations for future periods. The Company does not hold any derivative liability financial instruments that reduce risk associated with hedging exposure, accordingly the Company has not designated any of its derivatives liability financial instruments as hedge instruments.
 
Based upon the collective 10% dividends and other distributions due to Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers as described above, the Company recorded the compensation as derivative liabilities based upon the independent valuation of MovieTickets.com less a non-equity holder rights discount as of March 15, 2011 which was the effective date of the amended and restated employment agreements.  The initial fair value measurement of $1,720,000 was reduced to $980,000 to reflect the adjusted fair value and is recorded as “Derivative Liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet  at September 30, 2011.  Changes in the fair values of these liabilities are included in “Other, net” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.  See Note 6 “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.

The Company initially recorded $1,720,000 as “Deferred compensation” in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet (representing $860,000 with respect to each of Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers) as a result of the aforementioned collective 10% distribution participation under the amended employment agreements with them which is being amortized over an expected service period of four years starting from the 91st day (March 15, 2011) from the completion of the Broadway Sale.  The Company expensed $233,850 and $107,500 respectively, as a result of this amortization for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 and is included in “Payroll and benefits” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-4, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB ("the Boards") on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs have resulted in common requirements, including a consistent meaning of the term "fair value." The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The ASU is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350),” (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting period is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is required. An entity has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and its early adoption by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Hollywood Media’s significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 of its audited consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 have not changed.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

Sale of Broadway Ticketing Division to Key Brand Entertainment, Inc.

On December 15, 2010, Hollywood Media Corp. (“Hollywood Media”) completed and closed on the sale of its Broadway Ticketing Division (the “Broadway Sale”) through the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Theatre Direct NY, Inc. (“Theatre Direct”) to Key Brand Entertainment Inc. (“Key Brand”), as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009, entered into between Hollywood Media and Key Brand (the “Purchase Agreement”).  There are no material relationships among Hollywood Media and Key Brand or any of their respective affiliates other than in respect of the Purchase Agreement and the related ancillary agreements.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Broadway Sale, (a) Hollywood Media received (i) $20,530,102 in cash (including $530,102 pursuant to the estimated working capital adjustment described in the Purchase Agreement), (ii) a $8,500,000 note (the “Loan”) from Key Brand pursuant to a Second Lien, Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Key Brand is obligated to pay Hollywood Media interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with the loan maturing on December 15, 2015, which Loan is collateralized on a second lien basis by all stock and assets of Theatre Direct and its subsidiaries, and (iii) a warrant to purchase 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Theatre Direct as of the closing date on a fully diluted basis at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Warrant”), and (b) Key Brand assumed $1,600,000 of liabilities associated with employment agreements with certain employees of Theatre Direct.  In addition, Hollywood Media is entitled to receive earn-out payments (the “Earn-out”) of up to $14,000,000 contingent upon Theatre Direct and its subsidiaries achieving certain revenue targets during the period from the closing date through the end of the 10th full fiscal year following the closing date as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  As collectability of the Loan, Earn-outs and Warrant is not reasonably assured, they are not included in the “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.  Hollywood Media received payments of $773,500 and $260,667 of interest from Key Brand during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Loan which was included in “Interest, net” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011.

On March 14, 2011 the Company delivered to Key Brand a closing statement setting forth Hollywood Media’s calculation of Theatre Direct’s working capital on December 15, 2010, (the “closing date”) determined in the manner described in the Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the closing statement, Hollywood Media accrued $3,702,620 as a working capital adjustment as of December 31, 2010 under the Purchase Agreement which included $530,102 related to the estimated working capital adjustment delivered at closing to Key Brand.  The accrual was included in “Accrued expenses and other” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010.  The working capital adjustment of $3,734,106 was paid on March 22, 2011 and included $31,486 of interest which is included in “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2011.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, Hollywood Media and Key Brand entered into a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated December 15, 2010 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the senior secured lenders of Key Brand, which defines the rights and obligations of the senior secured lenders and Hollywood Media as subordinated creditor, including, without limitation, the rights of payment and the subordination of the security interests of Hollywood Media.  Hollywood Media also agreed to provide certain transition services to Key Brand and Theatre Direct for a six-month period which ended on June 15, 2011.

Pursuant to ASC Topic No. 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” ASC 360, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the operations, assets and liabilities of the Broadway Ticketing Business as discontinued operations. The sale of the Broadway Ticketing Business qualifies for discontinued operations treatment under ASC 360.

Hollywood.com Business

On August 21, 2008, Hollywood Media entered into a purchase agreement with R&S Investments, LLC (“R&S Investments”) for the sale of Hollywood Media’s subsidiaries Hollywood.com, Inc. and Totally Hollywood TV, LLC (collectively, the “Hollywood.com Business”).  R&S Investments is owned by Mitchell Rubenstein, Hollywood Media’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board, and Laurie S. Silvers, Hollywood Media’s President and Vice-Chairperson of the Board.  Pursuant to the R&S purchase agreement (the “R&S purchase agreement”), Hollywood Media sold the Hollywood.com Business to R&S Investments for a potential purchase price of $10,000,000 cash, which includes $1,000,000 that was paid to Hollywood Media at closing and potential earn-out payments totaling $9,000,000, of which $1,600,640 has been paid to Hollywood Media as of September 30, 2011.  Hollywood Media recognized $460,037 and $155,538 in earn-out gain during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $507,561 and $181,458 in earn-out gain during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which are included in “Income from discontinued operations” in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Hollywood Media does not have a significant continuing involvement in the Hollywood.com Business operations.

The earn-out payments equal the greater of 10 percent of gross collected revenue and 90 percent of EBITDA (as defined in the R&S Purchase Agreement) for the Hollywood.com Business until the earn-out is fully paid.  The Company considers the remaining potential earn-out payments to be contingent consideration and non-recourse.  Thus, the Company will not record a receivable and any corresponding gain until the contingencies have been met.  The Company will estimate an appropriate reserve for at-risk amounts, if necessary, at the time that any accounts receivable are recorded.  As of September 30, 2011, there remains $7,399,360 in potential earn-out payments.  Hollywood Media has received the earn-out monies in accordance with the payment terms.

If a subsequent change of control of the Hollywood.com Business, or a portion thereof, occurs before the earn-out is fully paid, the remaining portion of the earn-out would be paid to the Company immediately upon such an event, up to the amount of the consideration received less related expenses. If the aggregate proceeds received by the Company in such a change of control are less than the remaining balance of the earn-out, then the surviving entity which owns the Hollywood.com Business will be obligated to pay the difference in accordance with the same earn-out terms.  Hollywood Media established an escrow account to fund negative EBITDA of the sold business as necessary, up to a total of $2,600,000, the maximum amount of negative EBITDA required to be funded per the purchase agreement.  During 2009, Hollywood Media distributed the full balance of the escrow to fund operating losses.  In addition, Hollywood Media paid $400,000 to the Purchaser for working capital adjustments at closing.  Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5-E, the Company must consider if it has transferred risks of ownership, which the Company has considered and concluded that the risks of ownership have been transferred.

 The Hollywood.com Business included:

(i)           Hollywood.com, Inc., which owned the Hollywood.com website and related URLs and celebrity fan websites.  Hollywood.com features in-depth movie information including movie showtimes listings, celebrity biographical data, and celebrity photos primarily obtained by Hollywood.com through licenses with third party licensors which are made available on the Hollywood.com website and mobile platform.  Hollywood.com also has celebrity fan sites and a library of feature stories and interviews which incorporate photos and multimedia videos taken at entertainment events including movie premiers and award shows; and

·
See Note 5 regarding our purchase of common stock tendered.

During the year ended December 31, 2010:

 
·
On February 19, 2010, Hollywood Media issued 141,410 shares of common stock valued at the December 31, 2009 closing share price of $1.40, or $197,974, for payment of Hollywood Media’s 401(k) employer match for the calendar year 2009.  The 401(k) plan was terminated in November, 2010.

 (5) 
PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK TENDERED:

On February 25, 2011, Hollywood Media announced the final results of a tender offer to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.05 per share (less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest) which tender offer expired on February 18, 2011.  Hollywood Media accepted 8,000,000 shares for purchase for a total cost of approximately $16,400,000.  The number of shares properly tendered was 24,157,429.  Accordingly, payment was made for approximately 33% of the tendered shares, and the rest of the tendered shares were withdrawn from the tender offer.  Immediately following the purchase of the tendered shares, Hollywood Media had 23,179,068 shares of common stock outstanding.

(6)
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially the exit price.  In accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company determines fair value using a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 
11

 

The levels of fair value hierarchy are:
 
Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities at the measurement date.
 
Level 2:  Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as (i) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and (iii) other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.
 
Within this level of the hierarchy, fair value is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company.  The Company considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.  In contrast, the Company considers unobservable data to be data that reflects the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

As described more fully herein in “Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Derivative Liabilities,” the Company and Mitchell Rubenstein and Laurie S. Silvers entered into amended and restated employment agreements which include a compensation arrangement that includes the right of each to receive 5% of all of the distributions that the Company receives from its interest in MovieTickets.com which includes 5% to each of all proceeds received by the Company from the sale of all or any portion of MovieTickets.com.  As a result, the fair value of the compensation is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as derivative liabilities.  The fair value of the derivative liabilities were measured at the date that the compensation arrangement was effective, which was 91 days following the Broadway Sale or March 15, 2011, and will be re-measured each subsequent balance sheet date.  Any changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and at each balance sheet date.  The initial fair value measurement of $1,720,000 was reduced to $980,000 to reflect the adjusted fair value and is recorded as “Derivative Liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Changes in the fair values of these liabilities are included in “Other, net” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations
 
The following table presents the Company’s derivative liabilities within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011:

   
Level 1
   
Level 2

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 an event occurred that caused us to question previous estimates of expected cash flows relative to the Ad Sales division.     As a result, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the third quarter of 2011, we performed an interim impairment test of goodwill.

For purposes of testing goodwill for potential impairment, we estimated the fair value of the applicable reporting unit to which all goodwill is allocated using generally accepted valuation methodologies, including market and income based approaches, and relevant data available through and as of November 15, 2011. The market approach is a valuation method in which fair value is estimated based on observed market prices of publicly traded guideline companies.  Under the market approach, the valuation process is essentially that of comparison and correlation between the subject company and other similar companies. The income approach is a method in which fair value is estimated based on the cash flows that an asset could be expected to generate over its useful life, including residual value cash flows. These cash flows are then discounted to their present value equivalents using a rate of return that accounts for the relative risk of not realizing the estimated annual cash flows and for the time value of money.  The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model were our historical and estimated future revenues and the discount rate, among others.

 
14

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of this testing, it was determined that the future cash flow of these assets is likely impaired, and the risk associated with previously expected cash flows has increased.  Accordingly, we concluded that goodwill was impaired and we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $4,795,783 in the third quarter of 2011.  This charge, representing approximately 33% of the previous carrying value is included in the impairment loss line item in “Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Investees” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The perceived increased uncertainty and risk associated with expected cash flows are based in part upon the dispute discussed at footnote 12, Litigation.

CERTAIN COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Litigation

Hollywood Media is from time to time, a party to various legal proceedings including matters arising in the ordinary course of business.  Currently the Company is unaware of any actual or threatened litigation against it.
 
Financial Institution Termination

The Company’s CinemasOnline Business in the U.K. received a letter in Q1-11 seeking to terminate the Company’s ability to process banker’s drafts through a financial institution in the U.K. that processes substantially all of the U.K. customers’ banker’s drafts.  To date, there has been no cancellation or termination of this bank account.  The U.K. bank has agreed to rescind the termination as long as the Company performs certain actions to ensure that no future payments are set up without notice to our customers.  The Company is complying with the bank’s request and considers this matter closed.  As most U.K. customers advertising agreements with the Company automatically renew, the loss of this U.K. bank account would require the Company to re-establish each such customers’ contract, and therefore a termination could significantly negatively impact U.K. operations. 

 (9) 
MOVIETICKETS.COM:

Hollywood Media owns 26.2% of the total equity in the MovieTickets.com, Inc. joint venture.  Hollywood Media accounts for its investment in MovieTickets.com under the equity method of accounting, recognizing its percentage interest in MovieTickets.com’s income or loss as equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees.

Hollywood Media recorded its 26.2% share of net income or $409,232 and $230,164 under “Earnings of unconsolidated investees” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company recorded $597,535 and $76,787 in “Earnings of unconsolidated investees” for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.  The MovieTickets.com web site generates revenues primarily from service fees charged to users for the purchase of movie tickets online and the sale of advertising.    On July 18, 2011 MovieTickets.com declared a dividend of $4,000,000.  Hollywood Media received its 26.2% pro rata share of such dividend, amounting to $1,048,875 on July 19, 2011, which reduced the Company’s investment in MovieTickets.com as the dividend did not exceed the amount of the Company’s investment.  Hollywood Media distributed on July 19, 2011 $52,444 of such dividend distribution, representing 5% of Hollywood Media’s share of the dividends, to each of Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers in accordance with their amended and restated employment agreements dated December 23, 2009.  Other than the July 18, 2011 dividend discussed above, there were no dividends declared or received during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010, respectively.  For a description of the amended and restated employment agreements to Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers, see Note 10, “Related Party Transactions” to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Hollywood Media recorded $460,037 and $155,538 in earn-out gain from R&S Investments during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, which is included in “Gain on sale of discontinued operations” recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company has $270,552 included in “Related party receivable” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet which consisted of $238,581 in earn-out receivable, $23,162 in expense reimbursements from R&S Investments and $8,809 for an expense reimbursement receivable from MovieTickets.com.

Hollywood Media recorded $507,561 and $181,458 in earn-out gain from R&S Investments during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $299,963 included in “Related party receivables” in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet which consisted of $205,562 in earn-out receivable, $13,829 in expense reimbursements from R&S Investments and $80,572 for an expense reimbursement receivable from MovieTickets.com.  Hollywood Media received such earn-out and expense reimbursements in accordance with the payment terms.

R&S Investments, LLC Indemnification

On November 5, 2010, Hollywood.com, LLC, a former subsidiary of the Company, was sued for copyright infringement for the alleged display of unlicensed celebrity photographs on the Hollywood.com website, which is owned by R&S Investments.  Certain of the celebrity photographs at issue were posted during the time that Hollywood Media Corp. owned Hollywood.com.  Because Hollywood Media owned Hollywood.com during part of the time that the alleged display of unlicensed celebrity photographs on the Hollywood.com website occurred, the possibility exists that Hollywood Media could be subject to claims relating to this matter and other similar claims.  To address the potential risks to Hollywood Media associated with any such claims, in February 2011, Hollywood Media entered into an indemnification agreement with R&S Investments, whereby R&S Investments agreed to indemnify and hold Hollywood Media harmless from any and all potential liabilities and claims against Hollywood Media arising from any such claims in exchange for a one-time cash payment by Hollywood Media to R&S Investments of $350,000.  The indemnification agreement was approved on behalf of the Company by an Independent Committee of the Board of Directors.  The $350,000 was paid to R&S Investments on February 8, 2011 and is included in “Selling, general and administrative” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.  The lawsuit was settled by Hollywood.com during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Amended and Restated Employment Agreements of Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers

On December 23, 2009, (i) Hollywood Media and Mitchell Rubenstein entered into an amendment to his amended and restated employment agreement and (ii) Hollywood Media and Laurie S. Silvers entered into an amendment to her amended and restated employment agreement (hereafter, collectively referred to as “Amendments to Employment Agreements”).  The Amendments to Employment Agreements provide for, among other things, the following:

 
For a period of ninety days after the closing of the sale of Theatre Direct, Mr. Rubenstein’s and Ms. Silvers’ compensation continues in accordance with then existing terms.

After this ninety-day period, Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers base salaries are each reduced to a nominal amount of $1 per year plus each is entitled to five percent (5%) of the sum of (i) any distributions and other proceeds Hollywood Media receives after such ninety-day period in connection with its ownership interest in MovieTickets.com, Inc. and (ii) certain other amounts that may be received by Hollywood Media from MovieTickets.com, Inc. ((i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the “5% Distribution”).  Upon a sale of Hollywood Media’s interest in MovieTickets.com, Inc., Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers would each also receive 5% of the proceeds received by Hollywood Media in such sale.  Should the employment agreements be terminated by Hollywood Media without “cause”, by death or by Mr. Rubenstein and/or Ms. Silvers, as applicable, for “good reason”, the 5% Distributions and 5% of proceeds upon sale are due to Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers or their heirs regardless of whether or not Mr. Rubenstein and/or Ms. Silvers continue in the employment of the Company.

 
A deferment by Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers of $812,501 and $332,189, respectively, otherwise due to them as change of control payments upon the consummation of the sale of Theatre Direct (collectively, the “Deferred Change in Control Payments”).

The Amendments to Employment Agreements also provide that if Mr. Rubenstein and/or Ms. Silvers, continue to be employed by Hollywood Media on the first anniversary (Sale Anniversary) of the sale of Theatre Direct (or if such employment is terminated on or before the Sale Anniversary by Hollywood Media without “cause” or by Mr. Rubenstein and/or Ms. Silvers, as applicable, for “good reason”), and Hollywood Media receives payments from the buyer of Theatre Direct under either (i) the Promissory Note or (ii) an earn-out provision (Earn-out),  they will be entitled to their Deferred Change in Control Payments.  Specifically, up to one-half of the Deferred Change in Control Payments would be due upon collections under the Promissory Note, on a pro-rata basis, and up to one-half of the Deferred Change in Control Payments would be due upon certain collections of the Earn-out, on a pro-rata basis.  These amounts will be due to Mr. Rubenstein, Ms. Silvers and/or their heirs regardless of whether or not Mr. Rubenstein and/or Ms. Silvers continue in the employment of Hollywood Media after the Sale Anniversary.  The Deferred Change in Control Payments would be due according to the following schedule:

 
Mr. Rubenstein will be entitled to:

 
4.76% of all payments of principal and interest received by Hollywood Media on account of the Promissory Note (for a maximum amount of $407,201, of which a total of $39,111 has been paid to Mr. Rubenstein), and

 
5.79% of the first $7 million of Earn-out payments received by Hollywood Media (for a maximum amount of $405,300).

 
Ms. Silvers will be entitled to:

 
1.94% of all payments of principal and interest received by Hollywood Media on account of the Promissory Note (for a maximum amount of $166,989, of which a total of $15,940 has been paid to Ms. Silvers), and

 
2.36% of the first $7 million of Earn-out payments received by Hollywood Media (for a maximum amount of $165,200).

From time to time the Company’s Compensation Committee may award discretionary bonuses to Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers based on their service or performance to the Company.  Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers each received bonuses of $375,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  These bonuses are included in “Payroll and benefits” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

TEKNO BOOKS:
 
Mitchell Rubenstein was appointed Chief Executive Partner of Tekno Books (which is 51% owned by Hollywood Media) on July 21, 2011 due to the death on June 25, 2011 of Tekno Books’ then Chief Executive Partner, Dr. Martin Greenberg.  In July 2011, Hollywood Media and Tekno Books each received a $750,000 payment from a key-man life insurance policy resulting from Dr. Greenberg’s death.

There is a dispute with the Estate of Martin Greenberg as to whether the $750,000 distributed to Tekno Books should instead have been paid to Hollywood Media.  Hollywood Media believes that pursuant to the amended and restated partnership agreement of Tekno Books, the entire $1.5 million in policy proceeds are due to Hollywood Media.   Pending the resolution of such dispute, an accrual in the amount of $367,500 (representing the Estate’s 49% ownership interest in Tekno Books multiplied by the $750,000 in insurance proceeds which were paid to Tekno Books) was established.  There is no dispute as to the $750,000 payment on the policy which was made to Hollywood Media in July 2011.  The $1.5 million in policy proceeds, less the amount in dispute of $367,500 are included in “Other, net” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Investment

On October 7, 2011, Project Hollywood LLC, a newly formed limited liability company owned by Baseline Holdings LLC (which is owned by Mitchell Rubenstein and Laurie Silvers) acquired from The New York Times Company all of the membership interests of Baseline LLC.  Baseline LLC owns Baseline StudioSystems, a leading provider of movie and TV data services for the entertainment and motion picture industries and a licensor of information to Internet and digital media companies.  Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers individually contributed $4.5 million in cash to Baseline Holdings LLC which in turn contributed it to Project Hollywood LLC to fund the acquisition.

Hollywood Media previously owned the Baseline StudioSystems business and sold it on August 25, 2006 to The New York Times Company.  The opportunity to purchase the Baseline StudioSystems business was presented to Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers in their individual capacity, and they presented to Hollywood Media’s independent directors the opportunity for Hollywood Media.  Rather than acquire 100% of the Baseline StudioSystems business, Hollywood Media’s independent directors decided unanimously for Hollywood Media to make a minority investment in Project Hollywood LLC alongside Mr. Rubenstein and Ms. Silvers with the relative ownership interest of Project Hollywood LLC interests determined based on the proportionate amount each invested.

On October 27, 2011, following Project Hollywood LLC’s acquisition of all of the membership interests of Baseline LLC, Hollywood Media acquired a 21.74% ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC for $1.25 million, which was based on the same per membership unit price paid by Baseline Holdings for its 78.26% ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC.  The funds contributed were used for working capital and other capital needs of the Baseline StudioSystems business.

Pursuant to the Project Hollywood LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement, Baseline holdings or its designee will be the managing member, as long as Baseline Holdings or any of its permitted transferees, as defined, has an ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC.  The managing member of Project Hollywood LLC has full authority, power and discretion to manage and control Project Hollywood LLC’s business and to determine the timing and amounts of distributions.

The Project Hollywood LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that (i) distributions of available cash will be made in accordance with the members’ percentage interests, (ii) Hollywood Media’s ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Project Hollywood LLC and Baseline holdings in the event Hollywood Media desires to transfer such ownership interest, (iii) if Baseline Holdings and/or its permitted transferees who together own at least a majority of Project Hollywood LLC agree to sell its ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC or is required to consent to the transaction, waive any appraisal rights, and agree to sell its ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC on the same terms and conditions as other members; and (iv) if Baseline Holdings desires to sell its ownership interest in Project Hollywood LLC, Hollywood Media would be able to participate in such sale by selling a proportionate amount of its interest in Project Hollywood LLC.

Litigation

On October 27, 2011, the Company, together with National Amusements Inc. and the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture, filed a lawsuit against AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMC”) and MovieTickets.com Inc. (as nominal defendant) (Case No. 50 2011 CA 016684) in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida relating to the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture.  MovieTickets.com is an online movie ticketing service in which Hollywood Media, National Amusements, Inc. and AMC each own a 26.2% equity interest.     
 
The complaint alleges that AMC has breached and continues to breach the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture Agreement, which obligates AMC to exclusively provide its ticket inventory to MovieTickets.com, and has breached its contractual, statutory, and common law duties of good faith, fair dealing, and loyalty with respect to the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture and its partners, Hollywood Media and National Amusements, Inc., as a result of various actions by AMC.  The complaint alleges that these actions include, among other things, (i) AMC failing and refusing to provide the movie theater ticket inventory of Loews and Kerasotes (both of which were acquired by AMC) to MovieTickets.com for Internet ticketing, (ii) ticketing its Loews and Kerasotes ticket inventory through a MovieTickets.com competitor, (iii) anticipatorily repudiating its obligations to the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture, (iv) AMC engaging in negotiations with a competitor to MovieTickets.com and other exhibitors regarding business transactions in competition with MovieTickets.com, and (v) otherwise acting solely for its own benefit to the detriment of its partners in the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture.
 
Hollywood Media and the other plaintiffs have asked for a jury trial and are seeking unspecified consequential damages and have reserved the right to seek punitive damages.  Hollywood Media and the other plaintiffs also are seeking a declaratory judgment that AMC is obligated to make available on MovieTickets.com’s website AMC’s ticket inventory for sale on an exclusive basis and to honor its contractual, common law, and statutory fiduciary duties of good faith and loyalty to the MovieTickets.com Joint Venture and its partners, Hollywood Media and National Amusements, Inc.

Results of Discontinued Operations

Sale of Broadway Ticketing Division to Key Brand Entertainment, Inc.

On December 15, 2010, Hollywood Media Corp. (“Hollywood Media”) completed the sale of its Broadway Ticketing Division (the “Broadway Sale”) through the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Theatre Direct NY, Inc. (“Theatre Direct”) to Key Brand Entertainment Inc. (“Key Brand”), as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009, entered into between Hollywood Media and Key Brand (the “Purchase Agreement”).  There are no material relationships among Hollywood Media and Key Brand or any of their respective affiliates other than in respect of the Purchase Agreement and the related ancillary agreements.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Broadway Sale, (a) Hollywood Media received (i) $20,530,102 in cash (including $530,102 pursuant to the estimated working capital adjustment described in the Purchase Agreement), (ii) a $8,500,000 note (the “Loan”) from Key Brand pursuant to a Second Lien, Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Key Brand is obligated to pay Hollywood Media interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with the loan maturing on December 15, 2015, which Loan is collateralized on a second lien basis by all stock and assets of Theatre Direct and its subsidiaries, and (iii) a warrant to purchase 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Theatre Direct as of the closing date on a fully diluted basis at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Warrant”), and (b) Key Brand assumed $1,600,000 of liabilities associated with employment agreements with certain employees of Theatre Direct.  In addition, Hollywood Media is entitled to receive earn-out payments (the “Earn-out”) of up to $14,000,000 contingent upon Theatre Direct and its subsidiaries achieving certain revenue targets during the period from the closing date through the end of the 10th full fiscal year following the closing date as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  As collectability of the Loan, Earn-outs and Warrant is not reasonably assured, they are not included in the “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.  Hollywood Media received payments of $773,500 and $260,667 of interest from Key Brand during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Loan which was included in “Interest, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011.

On March 14, 2011 the Company delivered to Key Brand a closing statement setting forth Hollywood Media’s calculation of Theatre Direct’s working capital on December 15, 2010, (the “closing date”) determined in the manner described in the Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the closing statement, Hollywood Media accrued $3,702,620 as a working capital adjustment as of December 31, 2010 under the Purchase Agreement which included $530,102 related to the estimated working capital adjustment delivered at closing to Key Brand.  The accrual was included in “Accrued expenses and other” in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010.  This working capital adjustment of $3,734,106 was paid on March 22, 2011 and included $31,486 of interest which is included in “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Hollywood Media agreed to provide certain transition services to Key Brand and Theatre Direct for a six-month period which ended on June 15, 2011.

 
24

 

In connection with the Credit Agreement, Hollywood Media and Key Brand entered into a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated December 15, 2010 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the senior secured lenders of Key Brand, which defines the rights and obligations of the senior secured lenders and Hollywood Media as subordinated creditor, including, without limitation, the rights of payment and the subordination of the security interests of Hollywood Media.

The financial results of our Broadway Ticketing Division for all periods presented prior to December 15, 2010 have been reclassified from continuing operations and included in discontinued operations.  For additional information about this transaction, see Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” on the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Sale of Hollywood.com Business Unit to R&S Investments, LLC

On August 21, 2008, Hollywood Media entered into a purchase agreement (the “R&S Purchase Agreement”) with R&S Investments, LLC (“Purchaser” and “R&S Investments”) for the sale of the Hollywood.com Business.  The Purchaser is owned by Mitchell Rubenstein, Hollywood Media’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board, and Laurie S. Silvers, Hollywood Media’s President and Vice-Chairperson of the Board.  Pursuant to the R&S Purchase Agreement, Hollywood Media sold the Hollywood.com Business to Purchaser for a potential purchase price of $10.0 million, which includes $1.0 million in cash which was paid to Hollywood Media at closing and potential earn-out payments totaling $9.0 million. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, Hollywood Media recorded $460,037 and $155,538, respectively, in earn-out income under this agreement.  As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the earn-out receivable was collected in full in accordance with the payment terms.  As of September 30, 2011, there remains $7,399,360 in potential earn-out payments pursuant to this agreement.   For additional information about this transaction, see Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” on the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NET REVENUES

Total net revenues were $2,947,314 for Y3-11 as compared to $2,981,093 for Y3-10, a decrease of $33,779 or 1% and $860,620 for Q3-11 as compared to $973,392 for Q3-10, a decrease of $112,772 or 12%.  The decrease in net revenue for Y3-11 as compared to Y3-10 was primarily due to the result of a $192,126 decrease in Ad Sales revenue offset by a $158,347 increase in Intellectual Property revenue.  The decrease in net revenue for Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 is primarily the result of a $76,581 decrease in Intellectual Property revenue and a $36,164 decrease in Ad Sales revenue.

Ad Sales division net revenues were $2,105,768 for Y3-11 as compared to $2,297,894 for Y3-10, an decrease of $192,126 or 8%, and such net revenues were $708,196 for Q3-11 as compared to $784,777 for Q3-10, a decrease of $76,581 or 10%.  The decrease in Ad Sales net revenues for Y3-11 as compared to Y3-10 is attributable primarily to a decrease in U.K. advertising sales of $192,153, which includes: a decrease in plasma advertising revenue of $129,767 and a decrease of $62,386 in brochure and web advertising.  The decrease in Ad Sales net revenues for Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 was primarily attributable to a decrease in U.K. advertising sales of $76,581, which includes: a decrease in plasma advertising revenue of $58,908 and a decrease of $17,700 in brochure and web advertising.  These decreases are primarily attributable to the adverse economic conditions in the U.K.

Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $841,546 for Y3-11 as compared to $683,199 for Y3-10, an increase of 23% or $158,347, and such net revenues were $152,424 for Q3-11 as compared to $188,615 for Q3-10, a decrease of 19% or $36,191.  The increase in net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division in Y3-11 as compared to Y3-10 and the decrease in net revenues from Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 was attributable to the timing of royalty payments received.  The Intellectual Properties division generates revenues from several different activities including intellectual property licensing and book development.  Revenues vary quarter to quarter depending on the timing of delivery of manuscripts to the publishers.  Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete and the ultimate collection of such revenues is no longer subject to contingencies.  This division does not include NetCo Partners, which is reported separately; see “Equity in Earnings (losses) of Unconsolidated Investees” below.

(a)
NetCo Partners

NetCo Partners owns NetForce and is primarily engaged in the development and licensing of 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. Hollywood Media’s 50% share of income of NetCo Partners was essentially $0 for Y3-11 and Q3-11, as compared to $39,305 and $11,185 for Y3-10 and Q3-10, respectively.

 
(b) MovieTickets.com

Hollywood Media owns 26.2% of the total equity in the MovieTickets.com joint venture.  Hollywood Media records its investment in MovieTickets.com under the equity method of accounting, recognizing its percentage interest in MovieTickets.com’s income or loss as equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees.  Under applicable accounting principles, Hollywood Media recorded $409,232 and $230,164 under “Equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for Y3-11 and Q3-11 respectively, from its investment in MovieTickets.com for Q3-11.  Hollywood Media recorded $597,534 and $76,786 in income from its investment in MovieTickets.com for Y3-10 and Q3-10, respectively.  During Y3-11, the Company determined that goodwill associated with the assets of the Ad Sales Segment was impaired and accordingly recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $4,795,783.  For additional information see Note 7 – Segment Reporting in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.    The MovieTickets.com web site generates revenues primarily from service fees charged to users for the purchase of movie tickets online, and the sale of advertising.  On July 18, 2011 MovieTickets.com declared a dividend of $4,000,000.  Hollywood Media received its 26.2% pro rata share of such dividend, amounting to $1,048,875 on July 19, 2011.  There were no other dividends received during Y3-11 or Y3-10.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Editorial, Production, Development and Technology.  Editorial, production, development and technology costs include commissions, royalties, media buying, production services and internet access for CinemasOnline and fees and royalties paid to authors and co-editors for the Intellectual Properties segment.  Editorial, production, development and technology costs were $1,924,614 for Y3-11 as compared to $1,974,184 for Y3-10, a decrease of $49,570 or 3%, and $519,199 for Q3-11 as compared to $644,390 for Q3-10, a decrease of $125,191 or 19%.  As a percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales and Intellectual Properties segments, these costs were 65% and 66% for Y3-11 and Y3-10 respectively, and 60% and 66% for Q3-11 and Q3-10, respectively.  The decrease in Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 was due primarily to a $55,700 decrease in the Intellectual Properties segment due to a decrease in payments to writers and co-editors.  The Y3-11 decrease compared to Y3-10 was due primarily from the decrease in the Ad Sales segment partially offset by an increase in the Intellectual Properties segment.

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 Y3-11 were $2,675,158 compared to $3,283,680 for Y3-10, a decrease of $608,522 or 19%.  SG&A expenses for Q3-11 were $674,034 compared to $1,179,256 for Q3-10, a decrease of $505,222 or 43%.   As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses were 91% in Y3-11 compared to 110% in Y3-10 and 78% in Q3-11 compared to 121% in Q3-10.

The decrease in SG&A expenses in Y3-11 as compared to Y3-10 was due primarily to the following: bad debt expense was reduced by $151,900, accounting fees were reduced by $222,100, and occupancy expense was reduced by $154,300.

The decrease in SG&A expenses for Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 was primarily due to decreased legal expenses of $268,000 for general corporate matters as well as reduced accounting fees.

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 Y3-11 were $3,307,427 compared to $3,593,881 for Y3-10, a decrease of $286,454 or 8%.  Payroll and benefits expenses for Q3-11 were $1,389,275 compared to $1,283,176 for Q3-10, an increase of $106,099 or 8%.  As a percentage of net revenues, payroll and benefits expenses were approximately 112% for Y3-11 and 121% for Y3-10, and 161% for Q3-11 and 132% for Q3-10. 

 
27

 

The decrease in Y3-11 in payroll and benefits as compared to Y3-10 was primarily due to the following: a decrease in payroll of the accounting department of $204,700, and a decrease of $174,300 in payroll in the legal department, partially offset by a net increase of $205,800 in other executive compensation.  Hollywood Media agreed to provide certain transition services to Key Brand and Theatre Direct relating to the Broadway Ticketing Business following the closing of the Broadway Sale for a six-month period which ended on June 15, 2011, at which time Hollywood Media reduced its work force.  Pursuant to that agreement, Key Brand reimbursed Hollywood Media in Y3-11 for some of its accounting and information technology payroll and related expenses.  The increase in payroll and benefits expenses in Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 was primarily due to the following: a net increase in other executive compensation of $360,000 partially offset by a decrease in payroll in the accounting department of $72,400, a decrease of $58,400 in payroll in the legal department, and a decrease of $66,000 in payroll in the management information systems department.

Depreciation and amortization.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of property and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, and equipment under capital leases and amortization of intangible assets.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $199,642 for Y3-11 and $439,579 for Y3-10, and $57,574 for Q3-11 and $131,794 for Q3-10.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $239,937 or 55% in Y3-11 from Y3-10 was primarily due to the following: (i) a $100,300 decrease due to an intangible asset in CinemasOnline becoming fully amortized during Q4-10; and (ii) a $29,800 decrease due to reduced leasehold improvements amortization because of a change in location of the corporate office to a less expensive rental space and the balance is due to fixed assets becoming fully depreciated during or prior to Q1-11.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $74,220 or 56% in Q3-11 from Q3-10 was primarily due to a $33,400 decrease due to an intangible asset in CinemasOnline becoming fully amortized during Q4-10.

Interest, net.

Interest, net was $781,978 of income for Y3-11 as compared to $10,739 of income for Y3-10.  Interest, net was $260,381 of income for Q3-11 as compared to $665 of expense for Q3-10.  The increase of $770,498 in interest, net in Y3-11 as compared to Y3-10 and the increase of $261,046 in interest, net in Q3-11 as compared to Q3-10 was primarily attributable to the interest on the $8,500,000 promissory note received by Hollywood Media from the purchaser of the Broadway Ticketing Division.  The promissory note has an interest rate of 12% per annum and matures on December 15, 2015.  For additional information, see Note 3 - Discontinued Operations in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other, net.

Other, net was $1,638,527 for Y3-11 as compared to $132,162 for Y3-10.  Other, net was $504,981 of expense for Q3-11 as compared to $7,728 for Q3-10.  The increase of $1,506,365 in other, net in Y3-11 as compared to Y3-10 was primarily attributable to $1.5 million in proceeds received in July 2011 from key-man life insurance resulting from Dr. Greenberg’s death as well as the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $635,412.

Hollywood Media and Tekno Books each received a $750,000 payment from said key-man life insurance policy.

 
28

 

There is a dispute with the Estate of Martin Greenberg as to whether the $750,000 distributed to Tekno Books should instead have been paid to Hollywood Media.  Hollywood Media believes that pursuant to the amended and restated partnership agreement of Tekno Books, the entire $1.5 million in policy proceeds are due to Hollywood Media.   Pending the resolution of such dispute, an accrual in the amount of $367,500 (representing the Estate’s 49% ownership interest in Tekno Books multiplied by the $750,000 in insurance proceeds which were paid to Tekno Books) was established.  There is no dispute as to the $750,000 payment on the policy which was made to Hollywood Media in July 2011.

Also impacting Other, net was $131,739 of federal income tax expense on the sale of the Broadway Ticketing business resulting from alternative minimum taxes in Y3-11 and Q3-11.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Hollywood Media’s cash and cash equivalents were $5,538,949 at September 30, 2011 as compared to $29,406,063 at December 31, 2010.  Our net working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $3,986,187 at September 30, 2011 as compared to $21,981,818 at December 31, 2010.
 
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during Y3-11 was $1,982,652 which was primarily attributable to losses from continuing operations, the indemnification payment of $350,000 to R&S Investments and costs associated with the purchase of common stock tendered in Hollywood Media’s tender offer.  By comparison, net cash used in continuing operations during Y3-10 was $6,494,510.  These items were partially offset by the $1,048,875 dividend received from MovieTickets.com and the key-man life insurance proceeds of $1,500,000.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations during Y3-11 was $5,429,095, primarily used to pay Key Brand a working capital adjustment of $3,734,106 in connection with the sale of the Broadway Ticketing Business and for payment of $1,740,040 in payroll related bonuses due to the Broadway Sale in Q4-10, pursuant to employment agreements.  By comparison, net cash provided by continuing investing activities during Y3-10 was $436,177.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations during Y3-11 was $16,455,367, which cash usage was primarily for the purchase of common stock tendered in Hollywood Media’s tender offer.  By comparison, net cash used in continuing financing activities during Y3-10 was $169,115.  See Note 5, Purchase of Common Stock Tendered to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Sale of Broadway Ticketing Division to Key Brand Entertainment, Inc.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Broadway Sale:

 
·
Hollywood Media received $20.5 million in cash (including $0.5 million pursuant to the estimated working capital adjustment described in the Purchase Agreement);
 
 
·
Hollywood Media received a promissory note of $8.5 million from Key Brand at an interest rate of 12% per annum, which obligation matures on December 15, 2015 and is secured on a second lien basis by all stock and assets of Theatre Direct and its subsidiaries;
 
 
·
Theatre Direct issued the Company the Warrant;

 
29

 

 
·
Key Brand assumed $1.6 million of liabilities associated with employment agreements with certain employees of Theatre Direct; and
 
 
·
Hollywood Media is entitled to receive earn-out payments of up to $14.0 million contingent upon Theatre Direct and its subsidiaries achieving certain revenue targets during the period from the closing date through the end of the tenth full fiscal year of Theatre Direct following the closing date as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
In connection with the Credit Agreement, Hollywood Media and Key Brand entered into the Intercreditor Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the senior lenders of Key Brand, which defines the rights and obligations of the senior secured lenders and Hollywood Media as subordinated lender, including, without limitation, the rights of payment and the subordination of the security interests of Hollywood Media.

Sale of Hollywood.com Business Unit to R&S Investments, LLC

On August 21, 2008, Hollywood Media entered into and simultaneously closed on a definitive purchase agreement with R&S Investments, LLC, pursuant to which R&S Investments acquired the Hollywood.com Business for a potential purchase price of $10.0 million, which included $1.0 million in cash that was paid to Hollywood Media at closing and potential earn-out payments of up to $9.0 million. Since August 21, 2008, $1,600,640 in earn-out payments were paid to Hollywood Media through September 30, 2011 and, therefore, there remains, as of September 30, 2011, $7,399,360 in potential earn-out payments.

Commencing October 1, 2009, R&S Investments was contractually obligated to make periodic earn-out payments equal to the greater of (i) 10 percent of collected gross revenue and (ii) 90 percent of EBITDA (as defined in the purchase agreement) for the Hollywood.com Business until the full earn-out is paid. If a change of control of Hollywood.com occurs before the earn-out is fully paid, the remaining portion of the earn-out would be payable immediately upon such a change of control, up to the amount of consideration received by R&S Investments less related expenses. If the consideration in such a change of control is less than the remaining balance of the earn-out, then the surviving entity which owns the Hollywood.com Business will be obligated to pay the difference in accordance with the same earn-out terms. In addition, if the Hollywood.com Business is resold prior to August 21, 2011, Hollywood Media will also receive five percent of any proceeds above $10.0 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Hollywood Media was required to place $2.6 million into an escrow account to fund any negative EBITDA of the Hollywood.com Business through August 21, 2010. There was $2.6 million disbursed to the Hollywood.com Business in fiscal 2009, representing the entire balance of the escrow.  As of September 30, 2011, Hollywood Media recorded a $238,581 related party receivable for earn-out earned by R&S Investments.

For additional information about the sale of the Broadway Ticketing Business and the Hollywood.com business transactions, see Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Purchase of Common Stock Tendered

On February 25, 2011, Hollywood Media announced the final results of a tender offer to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.05 per share (less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest) which expired on February 18, 2011.  Hollywood Media accepted 8,000,000 shares for purchase for a total cost of approximately $16.4 million.  The number of shares properly tendered and not withdrawn was 24,157,429.  Accordingly, payment was made for approximately 33% of the tendered shares, and the rest of the tendered shares were withdrawn from the tender offer.  Immediately following the purchase of the tendered shares, Hollywood Media had approximately 23,179,068 shares outstanding.  For additional information see Note 5 – Purchase of Common Stock Tendered in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital Expenditures

Hollywood Media’s capital expenditures during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 were $94,673 and $21,867, respectively.  We currently anticipate that additional capital expenditures during 2011 will total approximately $25,000 including various system and equipment upgrades.

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 (the “Repurchase Program”) under which Hollywood Media may use up to $10.0 million of its cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock.  See Part II, Item 2, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information about stock repurchases by Hollywood Media during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  During Q3-11 there were no shares of common stock repurchased.

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 has no time limit and may be suspended for periods 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. Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program will become authorized but unissued shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2011, 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 (a) (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 (a) (4) of Item 303 of SEC Regulation S-K regarding “off-balance sheet arrangements.”

Critical Accounting Estimates

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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing 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.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative liabilities are comprised of compensation arrangements for Mitchell Rubenstein, Chairman and CEO of the Company, and Laurie Silvers, Vice Chair and President of the Company, relating to their each being entitled to receive 5% of any dividends and other distributions received by the Company on account of its interest in MovieTickets.com, Inc. which includes 5% of any proceeds received by the Company from the sale of any portion of MovieTickets.com, Inc.  The Company records compensation derivative liabilities in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet within the “Derivative Liabilities” at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivative liabilities will be reported in the results of operations for future periods. The Company does not hold any derivative liability financial instruments that reduce risk associated with hedging exposure, accordingly the Company has not designated any of its derivatives liability financial instruments as hedge instruments.  For additional information about our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Allowance and Reserves

Hollywood Media maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and a reserve on notes receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers or debtors to make required payments. The Company’s accounting for doubtful accounts and reserve on notes receivable contains uncertainty because management must use judgment to assess the collectability 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 and debtors, creditworthiness of specific customers and debtors, historical trends and other information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $253,534 and $308,713 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is primarily attributable to receivables due from customers of CinemasOnline.  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 geographic regions.  The Company’s $8.5 million note receivable from Key Brand in connection with the Company’s sale of its Broadway Ticketing business has been fully reserved.

Impairment of Goodwill

Under FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350), 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 involves 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 exceeds the implied value.

 
32

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350),” (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting period is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is required. An entity has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and its early adoption by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

As prescribed by ASC 350, we completed the transitional goodwill impairment test by the second quarter of fiscal 2002 which did not result in an impairment charge.  Additionally, Hollywood Media established October 1 as its annual impairment test date and conducted required testing on that date during fiscal 2010 and 2009.  As part of our fiscal 2008 annual impairment evaluation, the Company determined that the goodwill associated with its CinemasOnline business should be written off, and, accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2,871,700.  In addition, the Company recorded $653,000 in additional impairment to goodwill recorded after our 2001 acquisition of Always Independent Entertainment Corp. and our Intellectual Properties segment.  During the second quarter of 2009 the Company determined that $5,000,000 of the goodwill associated with its MovieTickets.com business should be written down based on discounted cash flow being below carrying value and accordingly recorded an impairment loss of $5,000,000.  For additional information see Note 14 – Investments in and Advances to Equity Method Unconsolidated Investees in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company determined that $4.8 million of the goodwill associated with its Ad Sales division should be written down after it was determined that the future cash flow of these assets is likely impaired, and the risk associated with previously expected cash flows has increase and accordingly recorded an impairment loss of $4.8 million.   For additional Information see Note 7 - Segment Reporting in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this form 10-Q.  At September 30, 2011 we are not aware of any additional items or events that would cause us to adjust the recorded value of Hollywood Media’s goodwill for impairment further.  The goodwill recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $9,800,000 and $14,595,783, respectively.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 goodwill represented 52% and 31%, respectively, of total assets.   Future changes in estimates used to conduct the impairment review, including revenue projections or market 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 applied a hypothetical decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit.  The Company believes that the fair value of its remaining reporting unit that contains goodwill at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 met or exceeded the book value of that reporting unit.

 
33

 

During the period from November 21, 2008 to May 21, 2009, the Company’s market capitalization periodically fell below the book value of its equity. The Company believes that the disparity between the book value of its assets as compared to the market capitalization of its business is in large part a consequence of market conditions, including perceived risks in the debt markets, the Company’s industry and the broader economy. While the Company believes that some of these risks are unique to specific companies, some represent global industry risks. The Company believes that there is no fundamental change in our underlying business model or prospects for our Company.   We considered the periodic decline in our market capitalization to be temporary and based on general economic conditions and a decline in general investor confidence throughout the market and not based on any events or conditions specific to us.  The Company has evaluated the impairment of its goodwill, giving consideration to these risks, and their impact upon the respective reporting unit’s fair value, and has reported impairments where it deems appropriate.  The Company believes that the fair value of its remaining reporting unit that contains goodwill at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 met or exceeded the book value of that reporting unit.

Inflation and Seasonality

Although we cannot accurately determine the precise effects of inflation, we do not believe inflation has a material effect on revenue or results of operations. We consider our business to be somewhat seasonal and expect net revenues to be generally higher during the second and fourth quarters of each fiscal year for our Tekno Books book licensing business as a result of the general publishing industry practice of paying royalties semi-annually.  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 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 (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on that evaluation and the material weakness described below, Hollywood Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that Hollywood Media’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of September 30, 2011, 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 Media’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As previously reported in Hollywood Media’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of Hollywood Media’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 and included its Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in such Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting concluded the following deficiencies in the Company’s CinemasOnline and Intellectual Properties businesses constitute material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
 
Identified insufficient internal controls over the advertising sales process within its U.K. based CinemasOnline business, including inadequate systems to allow for processing of advertising sales and deferred advertising sales; and deferred tax assets and insufficient internal controls over its disbursements of funds and recording of related assets and expenses in the CinemasOnline business.

Identified insufficient internal controls over the book development and book licensing process within its Intellectual Properties Division, including inadequate systems to allow for processing of book development and book licensing revenue and deferred revenue; and insufficient internal controls over its disbursements of funds and recording of related assets and expenses in the Intellectual Properties Division.
 
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 September 30, 2011, Hollywood Media had not remediated these material weaknesses.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Hollywood Media did not issue any securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, 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 (the “Repurchase Program”) under which Hollywood Media Corp. may use up to $10.0 million of its cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. The Repurchase 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.

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 has no time limit and may be suspended for periods 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. Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program will become authorized but unissued shares of Hollywood Media’s common stock.

During the third quarter of 2011, no shares of Hollywood Media common stock were purchased under the Repurchase Program.  As of September 30, 2011, the maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may have been purchased under the Repurchase Program was $2,697,843 (calculated by subtracting (i) the total price paid for all shares purchased under the Repurchase Program from inception through September 30, 2011 or $7,302,157 from (ii) the $10,000,000 potential maximum dollar value of repurchases approved under the life of the Repurchase Program).
