NET REVENUES
Total net revenues were $67,926,292 for Y2-07 as compared to $54,109,916 for
Y2-06, an increase of $13,816,376 or 26%, and $39,555,935 for Q2-07 as compared
to $31,567,141 for Q2-06, an increase of $7,988,794 or 25%. The increase in net
revenue from Y2-06 to Y2-07 and Q2-07 over Q2-06 was primarily due to growth in
our Broadway Ticketing Division. In Q2-07 net revenues were derived 88% from
Broadway Ticketing, 4% from Data Business, 7% from Ad Sales and 1% from
Intellectual Properties. In Q2-06 net revenues were derived 85% from Broadway
Ticketing, 5% from Data Business, 9% from Ad Sales and 1% from Intellectual
Properties.
Broadway Ticketing net revenues were $58,784,512 and $45,436,255 for Y2-07
and Y2-06, respectively, an increase of $13,348,257 or 29%, and such net
revenues were $34,750,569 and $26,990,600 for Q2-07 and Q2-06, respectively, an
increase of $7,759,969 or 29%. The increase in Broadway Ticketing net revenues
in Y2-07 from Y2-06, and in Q2-07 from Q2-06, 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, changes in our
marketing and advertising strategies, and increased availability of tickets to
top shows. 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 Theatre.com and offline via 1-800-BROADWAY to domestic and
international travel professionals, traveling consumers and New York area
theater patrons. Ticketing net revenue is recognized on the date of performance
of the show. Ticketing net revenue received for performances yet to take place
is recorded as deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Data Business net revenues (which includes CinemaSource, EventSource and
ExhibitorAds) were $3,288,016 for Y2-07 as compared to $3,113,598 for Y2-06, an
increase of $174,418 or 6%, and such net revenues were $1,639,295 for Q2-07 as
compared to $1,588,160 for Q2-06, an increase of $51,135 or 3%. This increase in
Data Business revenue in Y2-07 over Y2-06, and Q2-07 over Q2-06, is attributable
primarily to additional licensing agreements entered into in our Data Business.
Revenue for CinemaSource and EventSource is generated by the licensing of movie,
event and theater showtimes and other information to media outlets and Internet
companies including newspapers such as The New York Times, Internet companies
including AOL's Moviefone and City Guide, MSN, Yahoo!, Google and wireless
providers. Revenue for ExhibitorAds is generated by creating exhibitor paid
directory ads for insertion in newspapers.
Ad Sales net revenue was $5,258,941 for Y2-07 as compared to $5,036,895 for
Y2-06, an increase of $222,046 or 4%, and such net revenues were $2,845,876 and
$2,756,022 for Q2-07 and Q2-06, respectively, an increase of $89,854 or 3%. The
increase in Ad Sales revenue in Y2-07 over Y2-06, and Q2-07 over Q2-06, is
attributable primarily to increased commissions earned by Hollywood.com for ad
sales on MovieTickets.com. Ad sales revenues are generated from the sale of
sponsorships and advertisements on Hollywood.com and Broadway.com, as well as by
advertisements generated by CinemasOnline.
Net revenues from our Intellectual Properties division were $478,693 for
Y2-07 as compared to $489,168 for Y2-06, a decrease of $10,475 or 2%, and such
net revenues were $282,240 for Q2-07 as compared to $203,359 for Q2-06, an
increase of $78,881, or 39%. 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).

(a) NetCo Partners
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 $875 for Y2-07 compared to a net loss of $1,768
for Y2-06, an increase of $2,643. Hollywood Media's 50% share of earnings was
$671 for Q2-07 as compared to a net loss of $3,473 for Q2-06, an increase of
$4,144. NetCo Partners recognized $1,341 in income during Q2-07.
(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. Hollywood
Media shared in 26.2% of the losses or income generated by the joint venture
during Q2-07 and Q2-06. We have not recorded any of our share of the joint
venture's results of operations in Q2-07 and Q2-06 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 $50,176,228
for Y2-07 compared to $37,924,753 for Y2-06 for an increase of $12,251,475 or
32%. Cost of revenues - ticketing for Q2-07 was $29,964,352 compared to
$23,177,800 for Q2-06 for an increase of $6,786,552 or 29%. 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 85% and 83% for Y2-07 and Y2-06,
respectively, and 86% for both Q2-07 and Q2-06. The increase in cost of revenue
as a percentage of ticketing revenue in Y2-07 compared to Y2-06 was due in large
part to increased sales in group tickets which carry a lower gross profit
margin.
Editorial, production, development and technology. Editorial, production,
development and technology costs include payroll and related expenses for the
editorial and production staff responsible for creating content on Hollywood
Media's websites for our Ad Sales and Data Business segments, and these expenses
also include Internet access and computer related expenses for the support and
delivery of our information services, and fees and royalties paid to authors and
co-editors for the intellectual properties segment. Editorial, production,
development and technology costs were $3,993,379 for Y2-07 as compared to
$3,360,059 for Y2-06, an increase of $633,320 or 19%, and $2,037,594 for Q2-07
as compared to $1,674,975 for Q2-06, an increase of $362,619 or 22%. As a
percentage of revenues from our Ad Sales, Data Business and Intellectual
Properties segments, these costs were 44% and 39% for Y2-07 and Y2-06,
respectively, and 42% and 37% for Q2-07 and Q2-06, 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.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses consist of occupancy costs, production costs, professional and
consulting service fees, telecommunications costs, provision for doubtful
accounts receivable, general insurance costs, selling and marketing costs (such
as advertising, marketing, promotional, business development, public relations,
and commissions due to advertising agencies, advertising representative firms
and other parties). SG&A expenses for Y2-07 were $8,168,931 compared to
$7,278,119 for Y2-06, an increase of $890,812 or 12%. SG&A expenses for Q2-07
were $3,902,577 compared to $3,280,216 in Q2-06, an increase of $622,361 or 19%.
The increase in SG&A expenses in Y2-07 as compared to Y2-06 was due primarily to
the following: (i) increased occupancy expense of approximately $345,000 for our
Broadway Ticketing division, of which $258,919 is temporary redundant lease
expense while we move our New York offices, (ii) an increase of approximately
$426,000 in marketing expenses in our Broadway Ticketing division, and
(iii) increased costs associated with legal expenses, recruitment and telephone
expenses offset by decreases in insurance and consulting expenses. The increase
