                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

INTRODUCTION

         We are a premier entertainment-focused Internet company that generates
revenues through the sale of advertising, the business-to-business (B2B)
syndication of entertainment-related content, and the sale of entertainment
merchandise through our web sites. We also continue to operate the intellectual
property business from which our company has expanded and evolved. Since
launching our internet business in November 1998, we have significantly expanded
our Internet business through the acquisition of Hollywood.com, CinemaSource and
Baseline. In addition, we entered into a seven-year agreement with CBS
Corporation in January 2000 providing for $100 million of advertising and
promotion of the Hollywood.com web site and $5.3 million in cash in exchange for
an approximate 30% equity interest in the Company.

INTERNET BUSINESSES

         ADVERTISING REVENUES.

         HOLLYWOOD.COM. Hollywood.com is a premier entertainment related web
site featuring extensive entertainment content, including movie descriptions and
reviews, digitized movie trailers and photos, movie showtime listings,
entertainment news, box office results, interactive games, movie soundtracks,
celebrity profiles and biographies, comprehensive coverage of entertainment
awards shows and film festivals and exclusive video coverage of movie premieres.
Hollywood.com was launched in 1994 and acquired by us in May 1999. Page
impressions recorded on the Hollywood.com web site have steadily increased over
the last year from approximately 20 million impressions in December 1998 to

                                       1
<PAGE>

approximately 38 million impressions in December 1999. The Hollywood.com web
site recorded approximately 52 million impressions in February 2000.

         We currently generate substantially all of our advertising revenues
through the Hollywood.com web site. We sell banner advertising and sponsorships
on Hollywood.com through an internal advertising sales force and through
relationships with outside advertising firms. Some of our recent advertisers
include Microsoft, Toyota, Universal Studios, eBay, P&G, iVillage, Visa, M&Ms,
Destination Films, New Line Cinema, JC Penny, US Army, Nissan and Women.com.

         We promote the Hollywood.com web site through our strategic
relationships with CBS Corporation and the National Association of Theatre
Owners. Through exclusive contracts with the National Association of Theatre
Owners (NATO) and over 85 of its member theater exhibitors, we promote the
Hollywood.com web site to movie audiences by airing trailers about Hollywood.com
before feature films that play in participating theaters and by displaying
posters and other promotional materials in those theaters. In exchange, we
develop and maintain web sites for many of the theater exhibitors that feature
their movie showtimes.

         In January 2000 we entered into a strategic, seven-year relationship
with CBS Corporation that provides for extensive promotion of the Hollywood.com
web site. CBS has agreed to provide Hollywood.com with $100,000,000 of promotion
across its full range of media properties, including the CBS television network,
CBS owned and operated television stations, CBS cable networks, Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation's radio stations and outdoor billboards, CBS Internet
sites and CBS syndicated television and radio programs. To supplement our
internal sales efforts, we also have the right to reallocate a portion of each
year's promotional budget and require CBS Corporation to sell up to $1.5 million
of advertising on the Hollywood.com web site. CBS has agreed to include the
Hollywood.com web site in all advertising sale programs and presentations that
are appropriate for the sale of advertising on the web site. We will pay an 8%
commission on any additional advertising revenues generated by CBS for us in
excess of the $1.5 million guaranteed amount selected by us each year.

         HOLLYWOOD.COM INTERNATIONAL. We have entered into and are pursuing
several strategic relationships geared toward leveraging the Hollywood.com brand
internationally. We entered into an agreement with AOL Latin America in late
1999 pursuant to which we agreed to launch Portuguese and Spanish versions of
the Hollywood.com web site to be promoted on AOL in countries throughout Latin
America. We launched the br.hollywood.com Portuguese-language web site in Brazil
in November 1999. Br.hollywood.com is tailored to the Brazilian movie-going
audience and features much of the same content that is on Hollywood.com,
including daily entertainment news, movie descriptions and reviews, movie
previews, movie soundtracks, celebrity profiles and biographies and interactive
games. We plan to launch ar.hollywood.com in Argentina and mx.hollywood.com in
Mexico in May 2000. Our br.hollywood.com web site is featured and promoted on
the entertainment channels of both AOL Latin America and El Sitio.com, a Latin
American-based Internet portal, and our other Latin American web sites will also
be featured on these portals.

         BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) SYNDICATION REVENUES.

         Our business-to-business syndication operation is conducted through
Showtimes.com, Inc., which operates the CinemaSource and EventSource divisions,
and Baseline.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         CINEMASOURCE AND EVENTSOURCE. CinemaSource is the largest supplier of
movie showtimes to the Internet and compiles movie showtimes for every movie
theater in the United States and Canada, representing approximately 36,000 movie
screens. Since its organization in 1995, CinemaSource has substantially
increased its operations and currently provides movie showtime listings to more
than 200 different Internet sites and media outlets, including Yahoo!, Excite,
Go Network, Ticketmaster/CitySearch, Zip 2, NBCi, THE NEW YORK TIMES web site,
usatoday.com, latimes.com, iWon.com, THE WASHINGTON POST web site, the BOSTON
GLOBE web site, the NEWSDAY web site, and all of the web sites of Knight Ridder
and Advance/Newhouse. In addition, CinemaSource recently expanded its
syndication business to include entertainment news, movie reviews, and celebrity
biographies. In addition to charging guaranteed amounts for the data that it
provides to its customers, CinemaSource often shares in the advertising revenue
generated by its customers in connection with the data. CinemaSource was
established in 1995 and acquired by us in mid-1999.

         We launched the EventSource business in mid-1999 as an expansion of the
operations of CinemaSource. EventSource compiles and syndicates detailed
information on community events in cities around the country, including concerts
and live music, sporting events, festivals, fairs and live theater. We expect
EventSource to expand nationwide in the second quarter of 2000 by utilizing the
existing CinemaSource customer base. Current EventSource customers include the
web sites of The New York Times and Knight Ridder.

         BASELINE. Baseline operates a pay-per-use web site geared to movie
professionals, which is located at the URL PKBaseline.com. Baseline also
publishes and distributes several movie-related publications, including the
MOTION PICTURE INVESTOR. We acquired the Baseline business from media analyst
Paul Kagan in August 1999 and Paul Kagan Associates publishes the MOTION PICTURE
INVESTOR and other movie-focused publications on our behalf. The Baseline
business has been in operation for over 15 years. The PKBaseline.com web site is
a comprehensive database of information on over 67,000 films, which subscribers
access by paying a fee for each piece of data that is downloaded. The web site
includes film credits, information on film projects in production, new movie
releases, box office data, film synopses, biographies of entertainment
celebrities and film reviews. Baseline continuously tracks production,
distribution, and exhibition of feature films worldwide, including box office
projections, budgets, and trends. The web site generates revenues by charging a
fee for each piece of data that subscribers download. Baseline customers include
major movie studios, investment banks, news agencies, consulting firms and other
professionals in the entertainment industry.

         E-COMMERCE REVENUES.

         HOLLYWOOD.COM STUDIO STORE. Our online studio store located at
shopping.hollywood.com is the world's largest online movie studio store. The
studio store features a product line of branded licensed merchandise including
toys, apparel, video games, art, collectibles, movie posters, housewares,
accessories, costumes, games, high tech merchandise and media items. Our
merchandise is based on popular movies and television shows, such as Star Wars,
Pokemon, Southpark, X-Files, Austin Powers and Star Trek. We currently offer
approximately 2,500 different products for sale in the studio store and our
strategy is to make the web site a one-stop shopping experience for anyone
seeking entertainment merchandise. We cross-promote the Hollywood.com studio
store to movie and entertainment enthusiasts through banners and links on our
other web sites and the web site is promoted on over 7,000 affiliate web sites,
including latimes.com, usatoday.com, Yahoo!, Excite, nj.com and others.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Our in-house team of buyers works closely with numerous vendors to
secure merchandise on favorable terms and in sufficient quantities. We outsource
all inventory and shipping functions and on occasion sell products on
consignment, thereby eliminating inventory risk.

         We expect to expand our e-commerce offerings with the launch of
Broadway.com, which we expect will offer for sale a comprehensive collection of
merchandise related to current and classic Broadway shows.

         MUSICSITE.COM. We launched the MusicSite.com web site in March 2000.
MusicSite.com features a comprehensive collection of information related to
music, musicians and the music industry, including music news and information,
musician profiles, reviews of current and upcoming releases, artist
discographies and coverage of awards ceremonies. MusicSite.com will also feature
extensive listings of concerts and music-related events for up to 200 markets
around the country from the largest to the smallest of venues. MusicSite.com
users are able to listen to music online and will be able to purchase CDs from
the site's collection of over 200,000 titles. The MusicSite.com web site is
featured and promoted on the Hollywood.com web site.

         NEW INTERNET PROPERTIES.

         We plan to leverage our established movie-related Internet business to
launch additional entertainment-related Internet businesses, which we expect to
significantly increase our ability to generate advertising revenues,
business-to-business syndication fees and e-commerce sales. These include:

         BROADWAY.COM. We plan to launch the Broadway.com web site in late April
2000 with the goal of offering the most comprehensive coverage of live theater
on the Internet. We expect that Broadway.com will feature theater showtimes for
the top 100 U.S. markets and key global markets, such as London's West End; the
latest theater news; interviews with stage actors and playwrights; opening-night
coverage; original theater reviews; and video excerpts from selected shows. We
also intend for the Broadway.com web site to offer current box office results,
show synopses, cast and crew credits and biographies, digitized show previews,
digitized showtunes and an in-depth Tony Awards(R) area. We also plan to offer
users the ability to purchase theater tickets on the Broadway.com web site and
to provide a community chat area for users to chat with fellow users, stage
actors, playwrights and reviewers about Broadway and live theater around the
country and worldwide. The Broadway.com web site will seek to generate
advertising revenues from companies targeting live theater enthusiasts.

         MOVIETICKETS.COM. MovieTickets.com, Inc. is a joint venture among
Hollywood.com, AMC Entertainment Inc. and National Amusements, Inc. Each of
Hollywood.com, AMC Entertainment and National Amusements owns one-third of the
equity of MovieTickets.com, Inc. MovieTickets.com has entered into an agreement
in principle to issue a five-percent equity interest to CBS Corporation in
exchange for $25 million of promotion across CBS's full range of media
properties. The MovieTickets.com web site is scheduled to launch in May 2000.
MovieTickets.com will initially sell movie tickets online for movies playing in
theaters operated by AMC Entertainment and National Amusements and expects to
offer ticketing inventory of other exhibitors for sale soon after launch. The
MovieTickets.com web site will allow users to purchase movie tickets online and
retrieve them at "will call" windows or automatic ticketing machines located at
theaters. MovieTickets.com also plans to implement technology that will allow
users to print tickets on personal computers. The web site also will


                                       4
<PAGE>

feature movie content from Hollywood.com for all current and future release
movies, including movie showtimes, movie reviews and synopses, digitized movie
trailers and photos, celebrity interviews, box office results, and coverage of
movie-related awards shows and film festivals. We expect the web site to
generate a significant majority of its revenues from the sale of advertising,
and may generate additional revenues from service fees charged to users for the
purchase of tickets. Hollywood.com has the right to sell up to half of the
available advertising inventory on the MovieTickets.com web site and
Hollywood.com will receive a commission equal to 33% of all of the advertising
revenue of MovieTickets.com generated by Hollywood.com.

         We expect that the MovieTickets.com web site will upon launch have the
right to offer tickets for sale on an exclusive basis with AMC Entertainment and
National Amusements for their theater screens in the United States and Canada.
Theaters operated by AMC Entertainment and National Amusements are located in
all of the top ten markets and in approximately 70% of the top 50 markets in the
United States. MovieTickets.com plans to make tickets from other theater
exhibitors available for sale on the web site as well. We expect to promote the
MovieTickets.com web site through trailers and other promotional materials in
the theaters of each exhibitor that offers its tickets for sale on the web site.
In addition, CBS Corporation has agreed to provide MovieTickets.com with $25
million of promotion over five years across its full range of media properties.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES BUSINESS

         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES. Our intellectual properties division owns the
exclusive rights to intellectual properties, which are complete stories and
ideas for stories, created by best-selling authors and media celebrities. Some
examples of our intellectual properties are LEONARD NIMOY'S PRIMORTALS, MICKEY
SPILLANE'S MIKE DANGER and ANNE MCCAFFREY'S ACORNA THE UNICORN GIRL. We license
rights to our intellectual properties to companies such as book publishers, film
and television studios, multi-media software companies and producers of other
products. These licensees develop books, television series and other products
based on the intellectual properties licensed from us. We generally obtain the
exclusive rights to the intellectual properties and the right to use the
creator's name in the titles of the intellectual properties (e.g., MICKEY
SPILLANE'S MIKE DANGER and LEONARD NIMOY'S PRIMORTALS).

         NETCO PARTNERS. In June 1995, the Company and C.P. Group Inc. ("C.P.
Group"), entered into an agreement to form NetCo Partners (the "NetCo Joint
Venture Agreement"). NetCo Partners is engaged in the publishing and licensing
of entertainment properties, including TOM CLANCY'S NETFORCE, and has entered
into various licensing agreements described above.

         The Company and C.P. Group are each 50% partners in NetCo Partners. Tom
Clancy owns 50% of C.P. Group. C.P. Group contributed to NetCo Partners all
rights to TOM CLANCY'S NETFORCE, and the Company contributed to NetCo Partners
all rights to TAD WILLIAMS' MIRRORWORLD, ARTHUR C. CLARKE'S WORLDS OF ALEXANDER
(formerly called CRIOSPHINX), NEIL GAIMAN'S LIFERS, and ANNE MCCAFFREY'S
SARABAND.

         Pursuant to the terms of the NetCo Partners Joint Venture Agreement,
the Company is responsible for developing, producing, manufacturing,
advertising, promoting, marketing and distributing NetCo Partners' illustrated
novels and related products and for advancing all costs incurred in connection
therewith. All amounts advanced by the Company to fund NetCo Partners'
operations are treated as capital contributions of the Company and the Company
is entitled to a return of such capital contributions before distributions of
cash flow are split equally between the Company and C.P. Group. The NetCo Joint
Venture


                                       5
<PAGE>

Agreement provides for an initial term (the "Development Term") of five
years, during which the partners will jointly develop the contributed
properties. The Development Term may be extended by the mutual consent of the
partners and shall terminate upon 30 days notice to the Company by C.P. Group
should Mitchell Rubenstein cease to be the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and Laurie S. Silvers cease to be the President of the Company. At the
end of the Development Term, any undeveloped properties (other than TOM CLANCY'S
NETFORCE, which will continue to be owned 50% by the Company and 50% owned by
C.P. Group even after dissolution of NetCo Partners) are to be returned to their
respective contributing partners and any properties in development or already
developed will remain properties of the joint venture, which will continue until
its bankruptcy, dissolution, or the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets.

         BOOK DEVELOPMENT AND BOOK LICENSING. Our intellectual properties
division also includes a book development and book licensing operation through
our 51% owned subsidiary, Tekno Books, that develops and executes book projects,
typically with best-selling authors. Tekno Books has worked with approximately
50 New York Times best-selling authors, including Tom Clancy, Jonathan
Kellerman, Dean Koontz, Tony Hillerman, Robert Ludlum and Scott Turow, and
numerous media celebrities, including David Copperfield, Louis Rukeyser and
Willard Scott. Our intellectual properties division has licensed books for
publication with more than 60 book publishers, including HarperCollins, Bantam
Doubleday Dell, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Penguin Putnum and Warner Books.
The book development and book licensing division has a library of more than
1,100 books. The Chief Executive Officer of Tekno Books, Dr. Martin H.
Greenberg, is also a director of the Company and owner of the remaining 49%
interest in Tekno Books.

         Tekno Books also owns a 50% interest in MYSTERY SCENE MAGAZINE, a trade
journal of the mystery genre of which Dr. Greenberg is co-publisher. During
1995, the Company directly acquired an additional 25% interest in the magazine.
As an example of one of the many synergistic opportunities between the Company's
Internet and publishing businesses, the Company is currently working with the
publishers of MYSTERY SCENE MAGAZINE to develop an area on the Hollywood.com web
site initially dedicated to mysteries, and later to include science fiction and
romance.

COMPETITION

         INTERNET BUSINESSES. The market for Internet services and products is
relatively new, intensely competitive and rapidly changing. The number of Web
sites on the Internet competing for consumers' attention and spending has
proliferated and we expect that competition will continue to intensify. We
compete, directly and indirectly, for advertisers, viewers, members and content
providers with the following categories of companies:

o    online services or Web sites targeted to entertainment enthusiasts,
     particularly movie goers, such as Film.com and IMDb.com;

o    publishers and distributors of traditional off-line media, such as
     television, radio and print, including those targeted to movie enthusiasts,
     many of which have established or may establish web sites, such as
     Eonline.com;

o    traditional movie and entertainment organizations and vendors of
     entertainment merchandise and products, including conventional retail
     stores and catalog retailers, many of which have established web sites,
     including Disney and Warner Brothers;

o    general purpose consumer online services such as AOL, Yahoo! and Microsoft
     Network, each of which provides access to movie-related information and
     services; and

                                       6
<PAGE>

o    Web search and retrieval and other online services, such as Excite, Lycos
     and Yahoo! and other high-traffic Web sites.

     We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting and
retaining users are the depth, breadth and timeliness of content, the ability to
offer compelling and entertaining content and brand recognition. Other important
factors in attracting and retaining users include ease of use, service quality
and cost. We believe that the principal competitive factor in attracting and
retaining advertisers include the number of users of our Web sites, the
demographics of our users, price and the creative implementation of
advertisement placements and sponsorship promotions. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to compete favorably with respect to these factors.

         Based on our review of publicly available documents, we believe some of
our existing competitors, as well as potential new competitors have longer
operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources, greater name recognition and substantially larger user bases than we
do and, therefore, have significantly greater ability to attract advertisers and
users. In addition, many of these competitors may be able to respond more
quickly than us to new or emerging technologies and changes in Internet user
requirements and to devote greater resources that us to the development,
promotion and sale of their services. There can be no assurance that our current
or potential competitors will not develop products and services comparable or
superior to those developed by us or adapt more quickly than us to new
technologies, evolving industry trends or changing Internet user preferences.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss
of market share, any of which would materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, as we
expand internationally, we will face new competition. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by us would not have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES AND BOOK DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSING BUSINESSES.
Numerous companies and individuals are engaged in the business of licensing
entertainment properties and characters in the entertainment-related licensing
market. We compete with a wide range of other corporations as well as
individuals in the licensing market. Competition in the book licensing and
packaging business is somewhat less intense than that in the other areas of our
business, as it is based for the most part on unique, original concepts and
long-term relationships.

TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

         INTERNET BUSINESSES. We own trademark registrations in the United
States for ALL ABOUT MOVIES, HOLLYWOOD ONLINE, MOVIETUNES and BITESITE and in a
number of foreign countries for HOLLYWOOD ONLINE. We have filed trademark
applications in the United States and in foreign countries for the marks
HOLLYWOOD.COM, HOLLYWOOD ONLINE STUDIOS, HOLLYWOOD.NET, MOVIETUNES.COM,
SHOWTIMES, THE GOLDEN HITCH, THEATER.COM, BROADWAY.COM and TRAILER AWARDS and
the slogans BEFORE YOU GO TO THE MOVIES, GO TO HOLLYWOOD.COM, GIVING TRAILERS
THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE, ISN'T IT TIME YOU WENT HOLLYWOOD!, ON STAGE. ONLINE,
SURF DOWN THE GREAT WHITE WAY! and WHERE MOVIEGOERS GO.

         Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant
degree on our internally


                                       7

developed and licensed content and technology. We rely on a combination of
copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality and nondisclosure
agreements with our employees and with third parties and contractual provisions
to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that
the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate, or
that third parties will not infringe upon or misappropriate our copyrights,
trademarks, service marks and similar proprietary rights. In addition, effective
copyright and trademark protection may be unenforceable or limited in certain
foreign countries. In the future, litigation may be necessary to enforce and
protect our trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, copyrights and other
intellectual property rights. Any such litigation would be costly and could
divert management's attention, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Adverse determinations
in such litigation could result in the loss of certain of our proprietary
rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses from
third parties, or prevent us from selling our services, any one of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

         There can be no assurance that third parties will not bring copyright
or trademark infringement claims against us, or claim that our use of certain
technology violates a patent. Even if these claims are not meritorious, they
could be costly and could divert management's attention, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. If it is determined that we have infringed upon or misappropriated a
third party's proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that any necessary
licenses or rights could be obtained on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. The
inability to obtain any required license on satisfactory terms could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. If our competitors prepare and file applications that claim
trademarks owned or registered by us, we may oppose these applications and have
to participate in administrative proceedings to determine priority of right in
the trademark, which could result in substantial costs to us, even if the
eventual outcome is favorable to us. An adverse outcome could require us to
license disputed rights from third parties or to cease using such trademarks. In
addition, inasmuch as we license a substantial portion of our content from third
parties, our exposure to copyright infringement or right of privacy or publicity
actions may increase; because we must rely upon such third parties for
information as to the origin and ownership of such licensed content. We
generally obtain representations as to the origins, ownership and right to use
such licensed content and generally obtain indemnification to cover any breach
of any such representations; however, there can be no assurance that such
representations will be accurate or that such indemnification will provide
adequate compensation for any breach of such representation. There can be no
assurance that the outcome of any litigation between such licensors and a third
party or between us and a third party will not lead to royalty obligations for
which we are not indemnified or for which such indemnification is insufficient,
or that we will be able to obtain any additional license on commercially
reasonable terms if at all.

         In 1999 we obtained a federal trademark registration for the name
HOLLYWOOD ONLINE and in 1998 we obtained a federal trademark registration for
the name BIG ENTERTAINMENT. In December 1999 we changed our corporate name and
primary branding to HOLLYWOOD.COM. We have filed a number of United States and
foreign trademark applications for HOLLYWOOD.COM, BROADWAY.COM and variants
thereof. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure adequate
protection for the HOLLYWOOD.COM name or other trademarks in the United States
or in foreign countries. If we obtain registration of those trademarks, we may
not be able to prevent our competitors from using different trademarks that
contain the words "Hollywood" or "Broadway."


                                       8
<PAGE>

Many countries have a "first-to-file" trademark registration system; and thus we
may be prevented from registering our marks in certain countries if third
parties have previously filed applications to register or have registered the
same or similar marks. It is possible that our competitors or others will adopt
product or service names similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build
brand identity and possible leading to customer confusion. The inability of us
to protect our HOLLYWOOD.COM mark and other marks adequately could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

         We currently own the domain names Hollywood.com, Hollywood.net,
Broadway.com, Broadway.net, MusicSite.com, Showtimes.com, and over 100 other
domain names. As new top level domain names become available (e.g., ".store",
".biz" and the like), there can be no assurance that other companies will not
register the word "Hollywood," "Broadway" or other domain names owned by the
Company in those other top level domains.

         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BUSINESS. The Company has applied for trademark
and copyright protection for each of its major intellectual property titles and
featured characters. The Company (including Netco Partners) currently has
approximately 49 U.S. registered trademarks and approximately 18 trademark
applications are pending related to this business. As the Company's properties
are developed, the Company intends to apply for further trademark and copyright
protection in the United States and certain foreign countries.

         Copyright protection in the United States on new publications extends
for a term of 75 years from the date of initial publication. Trade names and
trademark registration in the United States runs for a period of 10 years after
registration and may be renewed for an indefinite number of additional 10-year
periods upon showing of continued use.

EMPLOYEES

         At March 23, 2000, we employed approximately 170 full-time and 30
part-time employees. Of our 200 employees, 86 employees are engaged in the
development and production of Hollywood.com, Broadway.com, MusicSite.com and our
other content-based web sites, 75 employees are engaged in our
business-to-business syndication and licensing divisions conducted through
Baseline, CinemaSource and EventSource, 24 employees are engaged in our
e-commerce business and 15 are corporate and administrative employees. None of
the employees are represented by a labor union, nor have we experienced any work
stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

         The Company leases office space in Florida, California, Connecticut and

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business, including litigation related to five separate
leases that were terminated by the Company upon the closing of its retail
business. We do not expect any of these legal proceedings to have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK

         As of March 15, 2000, there were 220 record holders of the Company's
common stock and approximately 3,700 beneficial holders of the Company's common
stock.

DIVIDEND POLICY

         The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and
currently intends to retain any future earnings to finance its operations and
the expansion of its business. Therefore, the payment of any cash dividends on
the common stock is unlikely in the foreseeable future. Any future determination
to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and
will be dependent upon the Company's earnings, capital requirements and
financial condition and such other factors deemed relevant by the Board of
Directors.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

         See Note 10 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II
of this Form 10-K with respect to sales of unregistered securities by the
Company during 1999. All of such sales were made pursuant to the exemption from
registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.


OVERVIEW

         We are a premier entertainment-focused Internet company that generates
revenues through the sale of advertising, the business-to-business syndication
of entertainment-related content, and the sale of merchandise through our web
sites. We also continue to operate the intellectual property business from which
our company has expanded and evolved.

         We were incorporated in 1993 and our business initially consisted of
publishing comic books, the development and licensing of intellectual
properties, and the operation of entertainment-related retail stores. During
1997 we stopped publishing comic books, and during 1998 and 1999 we phased out
all of our retail stores in order to focus our resources on the launch of an
internet business.

         Since launching our internet business in November 1998, we have
significantly expanded our Internet business through the acquisition of three
entertainment-related Internet businesses and the development of strategic
relationships with major media companies to promote our businesses.

o    In May 1999 the Company completed two acquisitions. On May 20, 1999, we
     acquired hollywood.com, Inc., which owns and operates the Hollywood.com
     website.

o    On May 18, 1999, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
     CinemaSource, Inc., a business-to-business Internet company that provides
     showtimes and other movie-related information to Internet companies and
     other media companies.

o    On August 31, 1999, we purchased Baseline which includes the PKBaseline.com
     website and several movie-related publications.

o    On January 3, 2000, we entered into a definitive agreement with CBS
     Corporation providing for the issuance to CBS Corporation of 6,672,031
     shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $105,303,030,
     $100,000,000 of which is payable by CBS Corporation in advertising and
     promotion over seven years across its full range of media properties, and
     the balance of which was paid in cash.

         These changes to our business have affected our results of operations
and financial condition. Historically, we generated revenues from our
intellectual properties business and our entertainment retail operations. Our
intellectual properties business primarily consists of the licensing of complete
stories and ideas for stories to book publishers and film and television studios
and book development and packaging activities. Our retail operations consisted
of the sale of entertainment-related products and other merchandise at
mall-based retail stores. As the result of the closing of all of our retail
stores by the end of 1999, we will rely on our Internet operations and our
intellectual properties business to generate revenues for the foreseeable
future.

         The growth of our Internet operations has required substantial
financing and we expect to continue to require additional financing to fund our
growth plan and for working capital. Our operating plans and assumptions
indicate that anticipated cash flows when combined with other potential sources
of capital, will be enough to meet our working capital requirements for the year
2000. If plans change or our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may need to
seek further financing or curtail our operations. Our long-term financial
success depends on our ability to



                                       15
<PAGE>

generate enough revenue to offset operating expenses. To the extent we do not
generate sufficient revenues to offset expenses we will require further
financing to fund our ongoing operations.

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

NET REVENUES

         Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $10,106,111
compared to $11,126,516 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $10,291,447 for
the year ended December 31, 1997. Revenues increased from 1997 to 1998 because
of the Company's growth in its retail division. Revenues decreased in 1999 as
compared to 1998 because the Company closed its retail operations in December
1999 and expanded its Internet operations throughout 1999 by acquiring three
Internet businesses and expanding its e-commerce business. The Company's
Internet businesses account for 66% of the revenue in 1999, while its
intellectual properties division account for 19% of the revenue in the same
year.

On a pro forma basis, if hollywood.com, CinemaSource and Baseline were acquired
on January 1, 1998, net internet revenues would have been $9,000,207 for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $4,417,473 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 representing a 104% or $4,582,734 increase.

GROSS PROFIT

         Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $6,533,279
compared to $5,139,133 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $4,843,458 for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The primary reason


                                       16
<PAGE>

for the increase in gross profit from 1998 to 1999 is a reflection in the change
in the Company's business. Higher gross profits are being earned in 1999 from
Hollywood.com ad sales and business to business than historically from retail
and e-commerce.

         INTERNET BUSINESS

The Company's Internet business is composed of three segments; Hollywood.com ad
sales, business to business and e-commerce. Net revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1999 were as follows:

                  Hollywood.com ad sales               $3,950,931
                  Business to business                  1,765,732
                  E-Commerce                              924,098
                                                       ----------
                  Total                                $6,640,761
                                                       ==========

Hollywood.com ad sales revenues are derived from advertising sold on
Hollywood.com, our movie content web site. The revenues in 1999 are for the
period May 20, 1999 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 1999. Advertising
revenues include $480,000 of advertising barter revenue and $1.9 million of
barter revenue earned in accordance with the NATO contract, see Note 3(b). Item
8. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business to business revenues earned in 1999 of $1,765,732 are generated by the
lincensing of movie showtimes and other content information to other Internet
companies including Yahoo!, Excite, GoNetwork, Tickmaster/City Search, Zip2,
NBCi, The New York Times web site, USA today.com, latimes.com, iWon.com and the
Washington Post Website which is conducted through CinemaSource and Baseline. We
acquired CinemaSource on May 18,1999 and Baseline on August 31, 1999, therefore
the revenues recognized in 1999 are for the period from acquisition to December
31, 1999. CinemaSource is the largest supplier of movie showtimes to the
Internet and compiles movie showtimes for approximately 36,000 theater screens
for every movie theatre in the United States and Canada. Baseline operates a
pay-per-use web site geared to movie professionals. Baseline also publishes and
distributes several movie-related publications.

E-commerce revenues for 1999 were $924,098. Our online studio store features a
product line of branded licensed merchandise including movie posters, video
products, toys, art and media items

Gross profit for Hollywood.com ad sales, business to business and e-commerce was
$5,404,816 for 1999 or 80%. Excluding barter transactions of $2,380,100 the
gross profit percentage for 1999 was 45%.

         INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES DIVISION

         The intellectual properties division generates revenues from several
different activities including book licensing and packaging, licensing, and
publishing MYSTERY SCENE MAGAZINE. The revenue breakdown from these activities
for 1999, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

</TABLE>

         It is important to note that revenues generated by NetCo Partners (in
which the Company has a 50% interest) are not included in the above revenues of
the intellectual properties division. Book licensing and packaging represents
91% of the revenues generated by the intellectual properties division in 1999
and 87% in both 1998 and 1997. The Company's book licensing and packaging
activities are conducted through Tekno Books, its 51%-owned subsidiary. Tekno
Books focuses on developing and executing book projects, typically with
best-selling authors, and then licensing the books for publication with various
publishers. Book licensing and packaging revenues were $1,712,682 for the year
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $2,024,014 for the year ended December
31, 1998 and $2,028,911 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Book licensing and
packaging revenues decreased by $311,332 or 15% primarily reflecting the timing
of revenue recognition under the various book licensing and packaging
agreements. Book licensing and packaging revenues were consistent for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

         Licensing revenues were $106,924 for the year ended December 31, 1999
as compared to $248,478 and $205,761 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Revenues have decreased by 57% or $141,554 from 1999 to 1998
because fewer books were delivered to the publisher for publication in 1999
versus 1998. Licensing revenues include advances and royalties under the
Company's various licensing agreements with HarperCollins, DAW Books, Warner
Books, Sierra On-Line, and various licensees for foreign publication of books.
The increase in revenues during 1998 pertains primarily to advances related to
books under the HarperCollins, Warner Books, and DAW Books contracts,
particularly for the ANNE MCCAFFREY'S ACORNA series of books, which has been
expanded to a five-book series with HarperCollins, and has been licensed for
publication as audio books and in several foreign languages.

         Publishing revenues increased 7% or $4,735 from $64,527 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 to $69,262 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Publishing revenues decreased by 24%, or $20,479, to $64,527 in 1998 from
$85,006 in 1997. The decrease in publishing revenues is related to the Company's
decision to discontinue its comic book publishing operation due to the sustained
losses incurred in the publication of comic books. The Company began to reduce
the number of comic book titles it published during 1996 and completely ceased
publication of all titles during the first quarter of 1997. Publishing revenues
during 1998 reflect revenues from publication of MYSTERY SCENE MAGAZINE, a
mystery-genre trade journal published by the Company's 50.5%-owned subsidiary,
Fedora, Inc., while 1997 publishing revenues also include minor residual
revenues from the comic book business.

         Gross profit for the intellectual properties division decreased by 7%
or $83,245 to $1,062,513 in 1999 from $1,145,758 in 1998. Gross profit for the
intellectual properties division increased by 12%, or $122,968, to $1,145,758 in
1998 from $1,022,790 in 1997. This increase in gross profit is attributable to
the Company's


                                       18
<PAGE>

elimination of the comic book publishing operation in 1997, which had
historically generated a negative gross margin for the Company, and to the
success of the ANNE MCCAFFREY'S ACORNA property. As a percent of revenues, gross
profit for the intellectual properties division increased to 56% in 1999 from
49% in 1998 and 44% in 1997, reflecting the more profitable continuing
operations of book licensing and packaging and licensing. While the Company was
engaged in comic book publishing, it advanced 100% of the costs associated with
the development of its comic book titles, plus the Company paid for the printing
and distribution of all books, and was responsible for returns, which are a
normal part of the book publishing business. By now developing its intellectual
properties through licensing arrangements, the Company has essentially limited
the costs incurred to writers' payments for books and teleplays or scripts, and
typically funds these costs from advance payments received from publishers
pursuant to licensing agreements.

         The same holds true for the book licensing and packaging operation.
Production expenses to publish the books are borne by the publishers. The book
licensing and packaging operation typically secures the publishing agreements in
advance of determining amounts to be paid to authors and for permissions,
thereby ensuring a profit on the projects based on the up-front advances
received, and an ongoing royalty stream for future sales once the advances have
been earned.

RETAIL

         All brick and mortar retail locations were closed in December 1999. Net
revenues are derived from sales of entertainment-related products and
merchandise at the Company's mall-based stores, barter revenue from the ABC
programming agreement and franchise fee income. The composition of net revenues
is as follows:

</TABLE>

         Net revenues for the retail division were $1,356,482, 1999 representing
a decrease of $4,952,903 or 79% from $6,309,385 in 1998. Net revenues decreased
in 1998 to $6,309,385 or 7.5% from $6,821,769 in 1997. The decrease in net
revenues is attributable to closure of our brick and mortar retail operations in
1999. In 1999 the Company closed all of its remaining retail stores to
concentrate on its Internet businesses. In 1998 the Company closed 29 retail
kiosk locations.

         Net revenues also include imputed income from running ABC video clips
on the in-store television monitors and for promoting ABC on the Company's web
site in exchange for advertising air time on local ABC affiliate television
stations. The Company records the estimated fair value of the air time received
from the ABC affiliates as the value of the revenues earned by playing the ABC
video clips in its retail units and promoting ABC on its web site. This barter
revenue amounted to $220,000, for 1999 and $2,130,112 and $1,150,000 for 1998,
and 1997 respectively. The barter income for 1998 was higher than the $1,150,000
recorded in 1997 by $980,112, or 85%, as the barter arrangement with ABC did not
commence until mid-1997.

                                       19
<PAGE>

         Revenues for the retail division also include $350,000 of franchise fee
income during fiscal 1998. This income represents the territorial exclusivity
fee that the Company received during the first quarter of 1998 from the
franchisee for the Phoenix, Arizona territory. Under the Company's agreement
with this franchisee, the franchisee must open at least one store by December
1999 and one store each year thereafter in order to preserve its exclusivity.
The Company is not obligated to provide any additional support to the franchisee
under this agreement. This agreement was terminated in 1999.

         Gross profit for the retail division decreased from $3,993,375 in 1998
to $65,950 in 1999. Excluding the ABC barter income, gross profit decreased by
$2,017,313 or 51% from 1998 to 1999. Gross profit increased by 5%, or $172,707,
to $3,993,375 for fiscal 1998 from $3,820,668 for fiscal 1997. The increase in
gross profit was due to the impact of the ABC barter agreement, plus the
additional franchise fee. As a percentage of retail division revenues, gross
profit decreased to 4% from 45% for fiscal 1999, from 48% to 45% for fiscal
1997. This decline in gross margin is primarily attributable to increased
promotional activity, including mark-downs taken to sell merchandise in the
stores that were closed in 1999 and 1998.

         EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF NETCO PARTNERS

         NetCo Partners began to recognize income from its contracts related to
NETFORCE beginning in 1997 as discussed below. NetCo Partners recognizes
revenues when the earnings process has been completed based on the terms of the
various agreements and the manuscript has been delivered to the publisher. When
advances are received prior to completion of the earnings process, NetCo
Partners defers recognition of revenue until the earnings process has been
completed. The Company's 50% share in the earnings of NetCo Partners amounted to
$1,188,142 for 1999 as compared to $887,549 for 1998, and $2,702,049 for 1997.
Revenues increased from 1998 to 1999 because the additional manuscripts were
delivered on the Net Force novels for young adults and foreign contracts. The
primary factor contributing to the decline in NetCo Partners' earnings from 1998
to 1997 was the modification of its licensing arrangement with ABC, as discussed
below. On book projects, revenues are typically recognized upon delivery of the
manuscripts to the publishers. Another factor contributing to the decline in
earnings from 1997 to 1998 was the timing of the completion of the manuscripts.
Costs related to acquisition, development and sales of the intellectual
properties and their licensed products are expensed in proportion to the
revenues that have been recognized.

         The licensing arrangement between NetCo Partners and ABC was modified
during 1998. The mini-series arrangement originally provided for a payment to
NetCo Partners of $1.6 million should the NETFORCE mini-series not air by May
1999 and a minimum guaranteed license fee in excess of $1.6 million if it aired.
NetCo Partners accrued the $1.6 million payment in 1997, as this represented the
minimum amount to be received by NetCo Partners under the ABC mini-series
agreement. Under the new arrangement with ABC, NetCo Partners receives a
$400,000 rights' fee, which was collected in 1998, and a profit participation in
the mini-series in lieu of the original license fee. The mini-series aired on
ABC during February 1999. Accordingly, the previously accrued payment was
reversed during 1998, the rights' fee was recorded as revenues, and any future
revenues from the mini-series will be based on a profit-sharing arrangement with
ABC.

         In April 1997, NetCo Partners entered into an agreement with The
Berkley Publishing Group ("Berkley"), a division of Penguin Putnam Inc., which
is part of the international media group Pearson plc, to publish a series of six
original NETFORCE novels. The contract, with total maximum advances of $22
million,

                                       20
<PAGE>

calls for initial publication of the first book to coincide with the airing of
the ABC mini-series referred to above. The first book and second book were
published 1999. Additional revenues under the Berkley Books contract will be
recognized as manuscripts on the remaining four adult books are delivered and
accepted by the publisher. NetCo Partners receives advances under this contract
based on specific milestones throughout the publication process for each of the
six books. As of December 31, 1999, NetCo Partners has received $5,062,500 in
gross advances since inception of this contract, and such amounts have been
distributed to the Company and C.P. Group, its partners. This contract calls for
royalties on paperback sales to be earned by NetCo Partners at 15% of the
publisher's suggested retail price.

         In April 1997, NetCo Partners also entered into a second agreement with
Berkley to publish up to 18 young adult novels based on NETFORCE. The contract
calls for total maximum advances of $900,000.

         Both of the Berkley contracts grant to Berkley only the North American
publishing rights to publish NETFORCE books. NetCo Partners has also licensed
the publication rights to NETFORCE in various countries throughout the world in
eight foreign languages. Acceptance of the manuscripts by Berkley, the North
American publisher, is deemed acceptance of the manuscripts by the foreign
publishers.

         NetCo Partners also entered into an agreement with Random House Audio
Publishing to license the audio book rights for the first two NETFORCE novels
for an aggregate consideration of $600,000. NetCo Partners recorded these
revenues during 1997, net of a discount for advances expected to be collected in
over 12 months.

         OPERATING EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses consists of production costs,
technical and customer support, human resources and administrative functions as
well as professional and consulting service fees, telecommunications costs,
general insurance costs, and occupancy costs. General and administrative
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $8,367,620 as compared to
$5,196,364 and $4,902,675 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
respectively. The increase from 1998 to 1999 is primarily attributable to the
acquisition of the three internet businesses. The Company incurred approximately
$2.2 million of general and administrative expenses during 1999 related to these
acquistions. In addition a non-recurring charge of $400,000 was recorded as well
as increased insurance costs due to the growth of the Company. The increase in
general and administrative expenses from 1997 to 1998 is primarily attributable
to increased expenses associated with new retail store openings in the fourth
quarter 1997.

         Selling and marketing expenses includes advertising, marketing,
promotional, business development, public relations expenses and costs to
produce three movie trailers. Also included is the non-cash expense portion of
barter revenue. Selling and marketing expense for the year ended December 31,
1999 was $7,419,518 as compared to $2,566,702 and $1,378,085 for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Non-cash barter expense included in
selling and marketing was $2,600,000; $2,313,112 and $1,150,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Included in selling and
marketing for 1999 is $2,344,950 of non-cash CBS advertising in accordance with
the CBS agreement (see Note 18). Selling and marketing increased $4,852,816 from
$2,566,702 in 1998 to $7,419,518 in 1999 due primarily to $313,112 of increased
non-cash barter expenses, $2,344,950 of non-cash CBS advertising expense,
$700,000 in expenses to produce movie trailers and increased marketing efforts
to establish our Hollywood.com brand. Selling and marketing increased $1,188,617
from $1,378,085 in 1997 to $2,566,702 in 1998 primarily due to an increase in
non-cash barter revenue of $1,163,112.

         Salaries and benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
$5,916,024 as compared to $4,151,725 and $3,884,926 for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in salaries is primarily
attributable to the acquisitions of the three internet businesses during 1999
and increased staff requirements in order to meet future growth anticipations.

         Amortization of goodwill and intangibles for the year ended December
31, 1999 was $3,704,011 as compared to $31,428 and $347,312 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increase of $3,672,583 from 1998 to 1999 is attributable to
goodwill and intangibles recorded in accordance with the three internet
businesses acquired in 1999 (see Note 3). The decrease of $315,884 from 1997 to
1998 is attributable to the amortization of TeknoBooks intangible asset
which was fully amortized in 1997.

                                       21

         Depreciation expense, which consists of the depreciation of property
and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and capital
leases, for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1,486,458 compared to
$1,076,983 and $831,623 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increase in depreciation expense from 1998 to 1999 was
primarily due to the acquisitions of the three internet businesses in 1999 and
the additional internet equipment purchased to handle the increase of our
internet business traffic on Hollywood.com. The increase of depreciation from
1997 to 1998 is attributable to increased depreciation recorded related to the
Company's new retail stores opened in the fourth quarter of 1997.

         Reserve for closed stores and lease termination costs are $4,551,094
for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $1,121,028. The increase is
attributable to the closure of the Company's retail operations in 1999. All
assets relating to the Company's retail operations were written-off and any
potential obligations were accrued for at December 31, 1999 (see Note 12).

         RESERVE FOR CLOSED STORES AND LEASE TERMINATION COSTS

         In December 1999 the Company closed its six remaining retail stores and
recorded a reserve for closed stores of $4,551,094 and $1,121,028 at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The remaining carrying value of the fixed
assets, inventory and other assets related to retail operations were written off
to reserve for closed stores. A liability was recorded for estimated cost of
early lease terminations of $800,000 and $467,554 at December 31, 1999 and 1998
respectively. The Company made a decision in December 1999 to close its retail
operations.

         INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

         Net interest expense was $563,909 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
as compared to $818,849 and $323,118 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The decrease in interest expense from 1999 to 1998 is due to
$109,383 of interest income earned and payment in full of an inventory line of
credit during 1999. The increase in interest expense from 1997 to 1998 is
attributable to capital leases entered into to finance the cost of mall-based
studio stores and interest on an inventory line of credit

         DEFERRED TAX (EXPENSE) BENEFIT

         During 1997, the Company recognized $1,407,600 of deferred tax benefit
as the Company believed that realization of a portion of its net operating loss
carryforward was likely to occur based on the Company's projections of taxable
income that would have been generated upon consummation of the Huge
Entertainment transaction. In March 1998, the Company, C.P. Group, and Dr.
Martin H. Greenberg, CEO of Tekno Books and a director of the Company, agreed to
contribute certain assets to a newly formed entity, Huge Entertainment LLC
("Huge Entertainment"), in exchange for equity ownership in Huge

                                       22
<PAGE>

Entertainment and an aggregate of $8 million in promissory notes from Huge
Entertainment. Huge Entertainment was intended to be a pure-play content company
that would focus on obtaining additional intellectual properties and the
development and licensing of intellectual properties in multiple media formats.
The original plan had been to split the Company's business segments into
separate entities by spinning off the Company's intellectual properties to Huge
Entertainment, because it was believed that as separate entities the valuation
of each would be greater than if they continued as a combined entity. The
Company does not presently intend to proceed with the Huge Entertainment
transaction and, the Company reversed the realization of the deferred tax
benefit during 1998.

         NET LOSS

         The Company's net loss for 1999 totaled $24,657,024 as compared to a
net loss of $10,658,089 for fiscal 1998. The loss for fiscal 1997 was
$2,995,347. The net loss increased by $13,998,935 for 1999 as compared to 1998
primarily because of $4,551,094 recorded as the reserve for closed stores and
lease termination costs, a one-time charge; CBS non-cash advertising of
$2,344,950, amortization of goodwill and intangibles of $3,704,011, and
operating losses incurred by the retail operations, which were closed in
December 1999 of approximately $2.5 million. The net loss increased from 1997 to
1998 primarily because of ongoing losses generated by the retail operations. The
reserve recorded for closed stores of $1,121,028, the reduction of equity in
earnings of Netco Partners of $1,824,500, and the reversal of a tax benefit of
$1,407,600 recorded in the previous year. Net loss per share for fiscal 1999 was
$2.01 as compared to a net loss of $1.47 for fiscal 1998, representing an
increase of $.54 loss per share. The net loss per share for 1997 was $.51. The
per share impact of the reserve for closed stores, CBS non-cash advertising,
amortization of goodwill and intangibles on the 1999 loss per share is $.86.

         The Company has made several modifications to its initial business plan
in an effort to reverse its losses. During 1997, the Company stopped publishing
comic books, an activity that required a substantial amount of resources and had
not proven to be profitable as a result of a significant downturn in the comic
book industry. Essentially all of the overhead associated with comic book
publishing was eliminated effective with the second quarter of 1997. At the same
time, the Company decided to expand its retail operations with the development
of three prototype in-line studio stores. Substantial resources were devoted to
the development of the three prototype in-line studio stores which opened in the
fourth quarter of 1997 as the Company believed that the in-line studio store
concept would allow it to more quickly achieve economies of scale in its
entertainment retail division. Another two mall-based studio stores were opened
during 1998. The company closed its six remaining stores during 1999, and made
the decision to focus on its Internet business.

         The Company is presently focusing its resources on the expansion of its
Internet business. The Company plans to expand its Internet operations, both
through acquisitions and strategic alliances and through internal development
measures, in order to continue to grow its hollywood.com ad sales, business to
business and e-commerce revenues. While the Company believes that these measures
will ultimately reverse its operating losses, there can be no assurances that
the revenues generated by the Internet operations and the intellectual
properties division will be sufficient to offset the associated expenses
incurred.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                                       23
<PAGE>

         At December 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$2,475,345 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $729,324 at December 31,
1998. The working capital deficit at December 31, 1999 was $4,817,879, as
compared to a deficit of $1,407,449 at December 31, 1998. Net cash used in
operating activities during fiscal 1999 was $9,877,278, primarily representing
cash used to fund the Company's pre-tax loss, net of non-cash expenses including
depreciation and amortization, reserve for closed stores and lease termination
costs, CBS advertising and the inventory reserve. Net cash used in investing
activities was $8,269,858, representing capital expenditures and distributions
to minority interests. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to
$19,893,147 during 1999, primarily representing proceeds from issuance of common
stock and preferred stock. The combined effect of the above was a net decrease
in cash and cash equivalents of $1,746,011 during 1998. Net cash used in
operating activities and investing activities during fiscal 1998 was $5,605,491,
and $648,437 respectively, and net cash provided by financing activities was
$6,096,109. Cash provided from financing activities during 1997 consisted
primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock, and
borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

         In August 1997, the Company issued a $650,000 4% convertible debenture
to a single institutional investor. During 1998, the holder of the debenture
converted the entire balance, plus accrued interest payable thereon, into
173,568 shares of the Company's common stock. In conjunction with the issuance
of the debenture, the buyer received warrants to buy 32,499 shares of common
stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.00 to $6.53 per share. The warrants
expire March 2, 2003.

         In late 1997 and early 1998, the Company entered into long-term
equipment leases with two different leasing companies in order to finance the
construction build-out and fixtures and equipment for its three, new prototype
in-line studio stores. In late 1998, the Company entered into another lease with
one of these leasing companies to finance the construction build-out and
fixtures and equipment for one additional in-line studio store. The total
principal financed through these leasing transactions amounted to $1,827,730.
The lease terms range from 36 months to 60 months with a combined monthly rental
payment of approximately $50,000. In conjunction with the lease financing, the
Company issued five-year warrants to one of the leasing companies to acquire
7,231 shares of common stock for $6.56 per share.

         In December 1997, the Company established a $5 million credit facility
with BankBoston, which the Company used to finance the cost of inventories for
its entertainment retail division. The primary obligor on the credit facility is
the Company's wholly owned subsidiary that constitutes the Company's
entertainment retail division, and the Company is guarantor. BankBoston received
five-year warrants to buy 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $9.68 per share. On May 18, 1999 the warrants were exercised
and BankBoston received 16,446 shares of the Company's common stock in
accordance with the cashless exercise provision of the contracts. As of December
31, 1998, the Company's outstanding balance on the line of credit was $758,917,
essentially utilizing the then available borrowing base. During 1999 the credit
facility was terminated and all amounts have been paid in full.

         In March and April 1998, the Company issued 248,053 shares of common
stock to five accredited investors for gross proceeds of $1,037,500. Expenses
related to the issuance of these securities totaling $37,500 were charged to
additional paid-in capital. In conjunction with this stock issuance, the Company
issued five-year warrants to three of the investors to acquire 55,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $4.66 per share. The holders of the above warrants
have the right, at any time during the one year period from the date said
warrants were issued, to exchange the warrants for an aggregate of 22,145 shares
of common stock.

         During May 1998, the Company entered into a sale/leaseback transaction
with FINOVA Capital Corporation ("FINOVA") for 17 Entertainment Super-Kiosk
units. The terms of the 1998 sale/leaseback transaction were an aggregate sales
price of $600,674, which approximated 75% of the original invoice cost

                                       24
<PAGE>

for the units, a 42-month lease term, monthly payments approximating $18,300,
and a $1 buy-out at the end of the lease term. The net proceeds to the Company
after all transaction costs were $582,640.

         In June 1998, the Company entered into a private equity line of credit
agreement with two accredited investors and on January 7, 1999, this agreement
was amended to increase the number of shares that could be issued under the
equity line of credit. Pursuant to this agreement, as amended, these investors
issued irrevocable commitments to purchase 433,334 shares of common stock of the
Company over a one-year period. In conjunction with establishment of the equity
line of credit, the Company issued three-year warrants to these investors to
purchase 45,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an average price of
$2.89 per share. The exercise price of the warrants for 20,000 of the shares is
subject to reduction depending on the number of initial shares of the Company's
common stock that the investor's still own six months subsequent to their
initial purchase. On June 30, 1998, these investors purchased 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at the market price of $5.00 per share. On November
24, 1998, the Company sold an additional 77,042 shares of common stock to these
investors for $6.49 per share. Gross proceeds of $1,000,000 from the sale of
these securities were received during 1998. Costs related to the establishment
of the equity line of credit and for the issuance of the securities pursuant to
this line of credit totaling $99,855 were charged to additional paid-in capital.
In addition, the Company issued 28,000 shares of common stock to the placement
agent as part of this transaction. During 1999, investors purchased an
additional 256,292 shares of the Company's common stock for net proceeds of
$2,468,659.

         In July 1998, six members of the Company's Board of Directors
(including the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the
Company's Vice Chairman and President, and the Chief Executive Officer of Tekno
Books, the Company's 51%-owned subsidiary) purchased an aggregate of 187,442
shares of the Company's common stock for $5.00 per share, the then market price
of the stock. In conjunction with the private placement of these shares, the
investors received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 93,721 shares
of the Company's Common stock at $5.00 per share.

         In September and November, 1998, the Company sold 250 shares of its 7%
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") to two
accredited investors. The Company realized gross proceeds of $2,500,000 from
these private placements, less expenses and placement fees of $281,917. In
connection with this transaction, the Company also issued two five-year warrants
to each investor. The two warrants entitle the investors to purchase the number
of shares of common stock equal to the aggregate purchase price of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock acquired divided by the closing price of the common
stock on the trading date immediately before the date of purchase, multiplied by
20% and 30%, respectively, at exercise prices equal to 150% and 125%,
respectively, of such closing price, subject to certain adjustments. The value
of the warrants on the dates of issuance of $414,372, less expenses of $33,730,
has been deducted from the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock and is
reflected as warrants outstanding. Commissions and cost of issuance have been
prorated between the Series D Preferred Stock and the warrants. The stock
purchase agreement also provides for the potential issuance of adjustment shares
of the Company's common stock to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock
under certain limited conditions. During 1999 the holders of the Series D
Preferred Stock converted all of the outstanding shares into 679,859 shares of
common stock.

         In November 1998, the Company sold 50 shares of its 7% Series D-2
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D-2 Preferred Stock") to an accredited
investor. The Company realized gross proceeds of $500,000 from this private
placement, less expenses and placement fees of $68,239. In connection with this
transaction, the Company also issued two five-year warrants to the investor. The
warrants entitle the investor to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common
stock for $5.175 per share and 16,667 shares for $6.26 per share, both of which
were above market exercise prices at the time the warrants were issued. The
value of the warrants on the date of issuance of $116,941 has been deducted from
the stated value of the Series D-2 Preferred Stock and is reflected as warrants
outstanding. During 1999 the holders

                                       25
<PAGE>

of Series D-2 Preferred Stock converted all of the outstanding shares into
100,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

         On August 21, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan
for the repurchase of up to $1.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant
to this plan, during 1999 the Company repurchased 39,500 shares of its common
stock for an aggregate consideration of $668,729, or an average purchase price
of $16.93 per share.

         On February 17, 1999, the holder of the Company's Series C 4%
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") converted all of the
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.

         On May 18, 1999, the holders of the Company's Series A and B Variable
Rate Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A and B Preferred Stock") converted
all of the outstanding shares of Series A and B Preferred Stock into 300,631
shares of the Company's common stock.

         On May 17, 1999, the Company issued 569,820 shares of common stock in a
private placement at a purchase price of $21.25 per share. In addition, the
Company issued to the same investor's warrants to purchase an aggregate of
189,947 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $21.25 per share. The
gross proceeds of the private placement were $12,108,675. The Company issued
42,600 shares of common stock as a fee to the placement agent.

         On May 18, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of CinemaSource. The purchase price consisted of cash and 436,191 shares of
common stock valued at $12.50 per share.

         On May 20, 1999, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of
hollywood.com, Inc. The purchase price consisted of an unsecured promissory note
and 2,300,075 shares of common stock valued at $12.64 per share. As part of the
transaction costs the Company issued 53,452 shares of common stock for services
rendered in connection with the acquisition.

         On August 31, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the
motion picture-related assets of Paul Kagan Associates, Inc. for 492,611 shares
of common stock valued at $17.81 per share. The Company also issued to Paul
Kagan 163,185 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5
million.

         In October 1999 the Company issued 135,000 shares of stock to AOL Latin
America S.L. plus a ten-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $21.42 in exchange for a four year Interactive Services
Agreement pursuant to which the Company or its subsidiaries will produce
versions of the web sites Hollywood.com and shopping.hollywood.com in Portuguese
and Spanish to be distributed and promoted on AOL proprietary and web services
to be launched initially in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. This contract is
valued at $3,374,360 and is being amortized over the term of the contract.
Amortization of $140,589 is included as general and administrative expenses for
1999.

         In December 1999 the Company issued 35,294 shares of stock to Broadway
Technologies Group, Inc. to acquire the web address Broadway.com. The stock is
valued at $600,000. This transaction closed in January 2000. The stock was held
by legal counsel prior to closing.

         The success of the Company's operations in future years is dependent on
its ability to generate adequate revenue to offset operating expenses. Unless
otherwise noted, the proceeds from the financing transactions described above
were used to complete the acquisitions of the three Internet businesses
purchased during 1999 and for general corporate purposes. The Company's
management expects to

                                       26
<PAGE>

require additional financing for the expansion of its Internet business, and to
support working capital requirements in future years.

         The Company is currently exploring additional financing alternatives
such as a private placement or public offering of equity to allow the Company to
finance such expansion, although there can be no assurance that such financing
alternatives will be available to the Company or can be obtained on terms
favorable to the Company.

         YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Company believes that due to the newness of the Company's Internet
operations, all Internet systems are currently year 2000 compliant and any new
systems acquired or developed to support expansion of the Company's Internet
operations are year 2000 compliant. Significant vendors have been contacted to
ensure that their year 2000 issues will be resolved in a timely manner and will
not be disruptive to the Company's operations. Year 2000 had no adverse effects
on the Company's current business operation or financial conditions nor does the
Company expect an adverse effect on future operations.

         INFLATION AND SEASONALITY

         Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effects of
inflation, it does not believe inflation has a material effect on sales or
results of operations. The Company considers its business to be somewhat
seasonal and expects net revenues to be generally higher during the second and
fourth quarters of each fiscal year for its book licensing and packaging
operation as a result of the general publishing industry practice of paying
royalties semi-annually. The Company's e-commerce business is seasonal with the
holiday season accounting for the largest percentage of annual net sales. In
addition, although not seasonal, the Company's intellectual properties division
and NetCo Partners both experience significant fluctuations in their respective
revenue streams, earnings and cash flow as a result of the significant amount of
time that is expended in the creation and development of the intellectual
properties and their respective licensing agreements. While certain of the
development costs are incurred as normal recurring operating expenses, 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.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
 Hollywood.com, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hollywood.com,
Inc. (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hollywood.com,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999, AND 1998



(1) BACKGROUND:
--------------

Hollywood.com, Inc. F/K/A Big Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated in the State of Florida on January 22, 1993. The Company is a
premier entertainment focused Internet company that generates revenues through
the sale of advertising, the business-to-business syndication of
entertainment-related content, and the sale of entertainment-related products
over the web sites. The Company is also engaged in the development and licensing
of intellectual properties and licensing of books.

The Company's premier web site on the World Wide Web ("web") is Hollywood.com.
The Company's premier site features movie showtime listings, movie descriptions
and reviews, digitized trailers and photos, entertainment news, box office
results, interactive games, movie soundtracks, celebrity profiles and
biographies, comprehensive coverage of entertainment awards shows and film
festivals and exclusive video coverage of movie premiers. Advertising revenues
from Hollywood.com's operations began to be recognized in May 1999 when the
Company acquired hollywood.com, Inc.

The Company's syndication business began in May 1999 with the acquisition of
CinemaSource, Inc. CinemaSource is the largest supplier of movie showtimes and
related content in the United States. Showtime listings are provided to more
than 200 different Internet sites. The Company expanded its syndication business
with the acquisition of PKBaseline.com in August 1999. The PKBaseline.com web
site is a comprehensive database of information on over 67,000 films, which
subscribers access by paying a fee for each piece of data that is downloaded.

The Company also operates the largest online movie studio store,
shopping.hollywood.com. The studio store features a product line of branded
licensed merchandise including movie posters, video games, collectibles, art,
toys, and other media items. The Company cross-promotes our Internet studio
store to movie enthusiasts through banners and links on the other web sites.
Revenues from the online studio store have been recognized since November 1998.

In December 1999 the Company closed all of its retail store operations and have
written off the assets relating to such operations. (Note 12).

The intellectual properties division owns or controls the exclusive rights to
certain original characters and concepts created by best-selling authors and
media celebrities, which it licenses across all media, including books, films
and television, multimedia software, toys, and other products. The Company
acquires the rights to its intellectual properties pursuant to agreements that
grant it, on an exclusive basis, all rights in the intellectual property itself,
as well as the right to use the creator's name in the title of the intellectual
property. The intellectual properties division also includes a 51%-owned book
licensing and packaging operation named Tekno Books which focuses on developing
and executing book projects, typically with

                                       34
<PAGE>

best-selling authors, which books are then licensed for publication to book
publishers. Tekno Books generates revenue from new book projects in the form of
non-refundable advances paid by publishers, and from royalties from its library
of book titles.

In addition, the Company is a 50% partner in NetCo Partners. NetCo Partners was
formed in June 1995 as a joint venture between the Company and C.P. Group, Inc.,
a company in which best-selling author Tom Clancy is a 50% shareholder. NetCo
Partners is also engaged in the development and licensing of entertainment
properties.

The Company has expended significant funds developing its Internet, intellectual
property, entertainment retail, and other businesses. Operating losses since
inception have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $60,943,806 at December 31,
1999. The success of the Company's operations in future years is dependent on
its ability to generate adequate revenue to offset operating expenses. The
Company's operating plans and assumptions indicate that anticipated cash flows
when combined with other potential sources capital will be enough to meet
working capital requirements for the year 2000. There can be no assurances that
the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues from these activities
to cover its costs and therefore, the Company may continue to incur losses. To
the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient revenues to offset
expenses the Company will require further financing to fund ongoing operations.
On March 28, 2000, the Company received $5.5 million from CBS Corporation
related to the exercise of warrants (see Note 18).

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly owned subsidiaries, and its 51% and 50.5% owned subsidiaries, Tekno Books
and Fedora, Inc., respectively. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and a minority interest has
been established to reflect the outside ownership of Tekno Books and Fedora,
Inc. The Company's 50% ownership interest in NetCo Partners is accounted for
under the equity method of accounting.

      Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Interest bearing amounts
included in cash and cash equivalents were $2,084,156 and $109,979, at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       Trade Receivables

Trade receivables consist of amounts due from customers who have advertised on
the Company's web sites or have purchased content from the Company as it relates
to the Company's Internet businesses, to the extent that the earnings process is
complete and amounts are realizable. Trade receivables are net of an allowance
for doubtful accounts of $131,029 and $39,982 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

                                       35
<PAGE>

       Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories consist of merchandise sold over the Internet and are
stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the weighted
average method.

       Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts
sufficient to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their
estimated service lives, which range from three to five years, on a
straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
terms of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements.

       Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Purchase price allocations for the acquisition of hollywood.com, Inc.,
CinemaSource, Inc., Baseline, Inc., Tekno Books and Fedora, Inc. have been made
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16. Pursuant
to APB 16, acquired tangible assets have been recorded at estimated fair value
and acquired liabilities at the present value of amounts due. The excess of the
purchase price, including liabilities assumed, over the value assigned to net
tangible assets acquired has been allocated to either specifically identified
intangibles or goodwill.

"Intangible Assets" consist of the following:

                                                           December 31,

                                       36
<PAGE>

Goodwill relating to the acquisition of Tekno Books and Fedora, Inc., is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Goodwill relating to the
acquisitions of hollywood.com, Inc., Cinema-Source, Inc. and Baseline II, Inc.,
is being amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years.

The Company continually evaluates the amounts of recorded goodwill and the
period over which it is amortized by consideration of events and circumstances
that occur subsequent to its acquisition.

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of".
Under the provisions of this statement, the Company has evaluated its long-lived
assets for financial impairment, and will continue to evaluate them as events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may
not be fully recoverable.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale
by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such
evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain
long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of such
assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values. Based on these
evaluations, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of long-lived
assets in 1999 or 1998.

       REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue recognition policies for advertising, syndication, e-commerce, book
packaging and licensing, and retail are set forth below.

       ADVERTISING REVENUE. Advertising revenue is derived from the sale of
advertising on the Company's Web sites. Advertising revenue is recognized in the
period that the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant Company
obligations remain and collection is reasonably assured. Company obligations
typically include guarantees of a minimum number of impressions or times that an
advertisement is viewed by users of the Company's web sites.

       SYNDICATION. Syndication revenue is derived from sale of entertainment
related content to other businesses. Revenue is recorded after the information
has been delivered and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured. Royalty income is recognized when the proceeds have been collected.

         E-COMMERCE. E-commerce revenue is derived from the sales of
entertainment-related merchandise over the Web. E-commerce revenue is recognized
once the product has been shipped and payment is reasonably assured.

       BOOK PACKAGING AND LICENSES. Licensing revenues in the form of
non-refundable advances and other guaranteed royalty payments are recognized
when the earnings process has been completed, which

                                       37
<PAGE>

is generally upon the achievement of milestones in the development/publishing of
the property. Non-guaranteed royalties based on sales of licensed products and
on sales of books published directly by the Company are recognized as revenues
when earned based on royalty statements or other notification of such amounts
from the publishers.

         Revenue relating to the Company's book packaging and licensing
operation is recognized when the earnings process is complete, typically when a
publisher accepts a book for publishing. Advances received from publishers are
recorded as deferred revenues until the book is accepted by the publisher.
Revenues are recorded net of agents' fees. In the book packaging and licensing
division, expenditures for co-editors and permission payments are also deferred
and recorded as prepaid expenses until the book is accepted by the publisher, at
which time such costs are expensed.

         RETAIL. Revenue relating to sales at the Company's retail stores is
recognized at the time of sale. All retail locations were closed in December
1999.

Franchise fee revenue is recognized when all material services or conditions
relating to a franchise agreement have been substantially performed or
satisfied.

       PRE-OPENING EXPENSES.

Pre-opening expenses related to new store openings in 1998 and 1997 were
expensed as incurred.

       BARTER TRANSACTIONS.

         INTERNET OPERATIONS. The Company recognizes advertising revenue as a
result of barter transactions. Such revenue is recognized based on the fair
value of the consideration received, which generally consists of advertising
displayed on other companies' web sites or for services rendered. Barter revenue
and the corresponding expense is recognized in the period the advertising is
displayed. In 1999 the Company recorded $480,100 in barter revenue and expense
related to internet advertising.

         The Company records barter income earned under the NATO Contract, which
the Company acquired through its acquisition of hollywood.com. Through the NATO
Contract, the Company promotes its web site to movie audiences by airing movie
trailers about Hollywood.com, 40 out of 52 weeks per year, before the feature
films that play in most NATO-member theaters. In exchange, the Company provides
web sites for each of the exhibiting NATO members, promotional materials and
movie information, advertising and editorial content. In 1999 the Company
recorded $1.9 million in promotional revenue and expense under the NATO
Contract.

         RETAIL OPERATIONS. The Company recorded the exchange of air time given
on the television monitors in its retail stores and promotional space given on
its web site for advertising air time received on local ABC affiliate television
stations at the estimated fair value of the air time received from the ABC
affiliates. The income and expense are recorded in equal amounts at the time
when the advertising air time is received from ABC. The Company imputed revenues
and selling, general and administrative expenses of $220,000, $2,130,112 and
$1,150,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, relating to the ABC programming
agreement. This agreement has been terminated because the Company no longer has
bricks and mortar retail operations.

       LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

                                       38
<PAGE>

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128
"Earnings Per Share", which requires companies to present basic and diluted
earnings per share ("EPS") instead of the primary and fully diluted EPS that was
previously required. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 in 1997. Loss per common
share is computed by dividing net loss after deducting dividends applicable to
preferred stock, by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding as follows:

         Common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and

1,744,583 were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.
         ------------------------

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in
1996. SFAS No. 123 allows either adoption of a fair value method of accounting
for stock-based compensation plans or continuation of accounting under APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
interpretations with supplemental disclosures. The Company has chosen to account
for all stock-based arrangements under which employees receive shares of the
Company's stock accounted for under APB 25 and make the related disclosures
under SFAS No. 123. Pro forma loss per share, as if the fair value method had
been adopted, is presented in Note 11. Stock options and warrants granted to
non-employees are accounted for under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS
No. 123.

       POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS.
       ------------------------

The Company does not currently provide post-retirement benefits for its
employees.

       RECLASSIFICATIONS.

Certain reclassifications were made to prior year statements to conform with the
current year's presentation.

On May 18, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
CinemaSource, Inc. ("CinemaSource"), a privately held company, pursuant to the
terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 29, 1999 for $6.5 million in
cash and 436,191 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $12.50 per

subsidiary, Showtimes.com, Inc. ("Showtimes.com"). The shares of the Company's
common stock issued at the time of acquisition are restricted from resale for
the first 12 months following the closing of the transaction and are subject to
volume limitations regarding resale thereafter. CinemaSource gathers movie data,
including showtimes, synopses, photos and trailers, from theaters across the
country, and then licenses this data, in a compiled manner, to both large and
small media companies. CinemaSource licenses this information to more than 200
different media outlets, including customers such as Yahoo!, Excite, Go Network,
Ticketmaster/CitySearch, Zip2, THE NEW YORK TIMES web site, usatoday.com,
latimes.com, iWon.com, THE WASHINGTON POST web site, the BOSTON GLOBE web site,
the NEWSDAY web site, and all of the web sites of Knight Ridder and
Advance/Newhouse.

                  (b)      hollywood.com, Inc.:

On May 20, 1999, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of hollywood.com,
Inc. ("hollywood.com"), formerly called Hollywood Online Inc., from The Times
Mirror Company ("Times Mirror"). The aggregate consideration paid to Times
Mirror by the Company consisted of a one-year unsecured promissory note for
$1,928,138 and 2,300,075 shares of common stock, which was valued as of the date
of the transaction at $12.64 per share. As part of the transaction costs the
Company issued 53,452 shares of common stock for services rendered in connection
with the acquisition. Hollywood.com owns and operates the Hollywood.com web site
offering viewers movie information, movie trailers, box office charts, movie
soundtracks, photos and exclusive interactive games, celebrity interviews, local
movie showtimes, and coverage of movie premieres, film festivals and
movie-related events. Hollywood.com has an exclusive contract with the National
Association of Theatre Owners (NATO). Through this contract, Hollywood.com
promotes its web site to movie audiences by airing trailers featuring
Hollywood.com before the feature films that play in most NATO-member theatres.
In exchange, Hollywood.com provides web sites for the exhibiting NATO members.
The value of this contract was recorded as an intangible asset of $4.6 million
and is being amortized over the remaining life of the contract, approximately
three years.

                  (c)      Baseline II, Inc.:

On August 31, 1999, the Company purchased substantially all of the motion
picture-related data assets of Paul Kagan Associates, Inc., including the
PKBaseline.com web site, several publications, including the MOTION PICTURE
INVESTOR newsletter, and a consumer oriented movie web site. The aggregate
purchase price paid for the Baseline assets consisted of 492,611 shares of
common stock valued at $17.81 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of
54,735 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $18.27 per share valued at
$543,588. The shares of common stock issued in the transaction can not be
transferred by the holders for a period of 24 months following the closing of
the transaction. The Company plans to combine and promote these assets under the
Hollywood.com brand.

The acquisitions of CinemaSource, hollywood.com and Baseline II were accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the operating
results of CinemaSource, hollywood.com and Baseline have been included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The
excess of the aggregate purchase prices over the fair value of net assets
acquired of $48.9 million is being amortized over 10 years.

         These unaudited pro forma combined results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as additional
amortization expense as a result of goodwill and certain contractual adjustments
to salaries. They do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations
which actually would have resulted had the acquired companies been under common
control prior to the date of the acquisition or which may result in the future.

         On January 6, 2000 the Company completed the acquisition of
Broadway.com. The purchase price consisted of $1.0 million in cash and 35,294 in
common stock valued at $17 per share. The common stock was issued in December
1999, prior to closing, and delivered in anticipation of a January 2000 closing.
The purchase closed in January 2000 and $600,000 is reflected in the
accompanying Balance Sheet as an other long-term asset as of December 31, 1999.
Costs incurred amounted to $2,856 were charged to additional paid in capital.

(4)      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts
payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity
of the instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations is estimated
using an appropriate valuation method and approximates the carrying amount of
capital lease obligations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The
carrying value of debt, including bank debt and the loan from
shareholders/officers, approximates fair value because the interest rate
reprices with changes in market rates.

(5)      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", in 1998.
This Statement requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of
a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources. Adoption of this standard did not impact
the Company's consolidated financial statements. For all periods presented,
there were no differences between reported net income and comprehensive income.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information", in 1998. This Statement establishes standards for
reporting of selected information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. Disclosure regarding the Company's
business segments is contained in Note 17.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 - "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes standards of accounting
for derivative instruments including specific hedge accounting criteria. SFAS
No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000 although earlier adoption is allowed. We have not yet
quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 and have not determined when we
will adopt SFAS No. 133. However, as we do not presently have derivative
instruments, we do not expect SFAS No. 133 to have a material impact on us.

In December 1999, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 101"), which provides
guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria
that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure
related to revenue recognition policies. Based on our initial review, we believe
our revenue recognition practices are in conformity with the guidelines
prescribed in SAB 101.

(6)  FRANCHISE FEE RECEIVABLE AND INCOME:

The Company entered into an amended franchise agreement in 1997, pursuant to
which a franchisee obtained the exclusive rights to open traditional brick and
mortar in-line studio stores in the Phoenix, Arizona market area in exchange for
a $350,000 territorial exclusivity fee, which was paid during the first

                                       42
<PAGE>

quarter of 1998. Net revenues for 1998 include $350,000 of franchise fee income.
In order for the franchisee to maintain its territorial rights, the agreement
requires the franchisee to open one store by December 31, 1999 and one store
each year thereafter. The Company had the option to reacquire the rights to the
Phoenix, Arizona market, provided no such franchised units had already opened,
by issuing the franchisee 100,000 unregistered shares of the Company's common
stock. The Company exercised its option under the contract to reacquire the
rights to the Arizona market. The Company issued 100,000 shares of the Company's
common stock in January, 2000. The value of this stock, $1,650,000, has been
accrued for and is reflected in the accompanying December 31, 1999 consolidated
balance sheet as accrued reserve for closed stores.

In May 1998, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction (the
"1998 Sale-Leaseback") for 17 additional kiosks. The terms of the 1998
Sale-Leaseback were an aggregate sales price of $600,674, which approximated 75%
of the original invoice cost of the units, a 42-month lease term, monthly
payments of approximately $18,300, and a $1 buy-out at the end of the lease
term. The net proceeds to the Company after all transaction costs were $582,640.
As additional consideration for the 1998 Sale-Leaseback, the Company issued to
the lessor five-year warrants to purchase 5,203 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $5.775 per share. These sale-leaseback transactions do not
include the underlying mall leases for the sites of the Company's kiosks, with
respect to which the Company remains liable. As collateral security for these
leases, the Company issued an aggregate of 433,061 shares of its common stock
which were placed in escrow (the "Escrow Shares"). The escrow agent continues to
hold 362,466 of the Escrow Shares and the remaining 38,595 Escrow Shares have
been returned to the Company and cancelled. In December 1999 32,000 shares were
issued in order to satisfy the outstanding loan obligation.

(9)  DEBT:

On May 20, 1999, the Company delivered a $1,928,138 one-year unsecured
promissory note of the Company payable to Times Mirror as partial consideration
for the acquisition of hollywood.com, Inc. The promissory note has a maturity
date of May 20, 2000 (at which time the aggregate principal balance thereof must
be repaid in full) and bears interest at the prime rate in effect from time to
time of Citibank, N.A. plus 1% (10% at March 24, 2000). Interest is due
quarterly in arrears beginning June 30, 1999 with the final payment due at
maturity. The promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time
without payment of any premiums or penalty.

The Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Vice
Chairman and President have extended a $1.1 million unsecured line of credit
facility to the Company. The line of credit bears interest at the JP Morgan Bank
prime rate of interest, is prepayable at any time without penalty by the
Company, and is payable on demand of the holders. This line of credit was
cancelled in connection with CBS Corporation's exercise of warrants in the
amount of $5.5 million during March, 2000 (See Note 18). The outstanding balance
under this line of credit was $100,000 and $0 at December 31, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Interest expense on this line of credit amounted to $55,366 and
$2,049 for 1998 and 1999 respectively.

In August 1997, the Company issued a $650,000 4% convertible debenture to a
single institutional investor. The debenture was convertible by the holder into
shares of the Company's common stock. During 1998, the debenture holder
converted the entire $650,000 debenture plus accrued interest into a total of
173,568 shares of common stock. In conjunction with issuance of the debenture,
the buyer

                                       44
<PAGE>

received warrants to buy 32,499 shares of common stock at exercise prices
ranging from $6.00 to $6.53 per share. The warrants expire March 2, 2003. The
Company recorded the convertible debenture net of a discount of $215,500
attributable to the intrinsic value of the nondetachable conversion feature. The
discount was amortized as interest expense from the date of issuance through
April 1998. Interest expense related to this discount was $107,750 in 1998.

In December 1997, the Company established a $5 million credit facility with
BankBoston, which the Company used to finance the cost of inventories for its
retail operations. The primary obligor on the credit facility was the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary that constituted the mall-based component of the
Company's retail division, and the Company is guarantor. BankBoston received
five-year warrants to buy 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $9.68 per share. On May 18, 1999 the warrants were exercised
and BankBoston received 16,446 shares of the Company's common stock in
accordance with the cashless exercise provision of the contracts. As of December
31, 1998, the Company's outstanding balance on the line of credit was $758,917,
essentially utilizing the then available borrowing base. During 1999 the credit
facility was terminated and all amounts have been paid in full.

(10)  OFFERINGS OF SECURITIES:
-----------------------------

In March and April, 1998, the Company sold 248,053 shares of its common stock to
five accredited investors for gross proceeds of $1,037,500. In conjunction with
the sale of these shares, the Company issued five-year warrants to three
investors to purchase 55,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.66 per
share. Costs related to the issuance of these securities totaling $37,500 were
charged to additional paid-in capital. The holders of the above warrants have
the right at any time during the one year period from the date said warrants
were issued to exchange the warrants for an aggregate of 22,145 shares of common
stock.

On June 30, 1998, the Company entered into a private equity line of credit
agreement with two accredited investors and on January 7, 1999, this agreement
was amended to increase the number of shares that could be issued under the
equity line of credit. Pursuant to this agreement, as amended, these investors
issued irrevocable commitments to purchase 433,334 shares of common stock of the
Company over a one-year period. In conjunction with establishment of the equity
line of credit, the Company issued three-year warrants to these investors to
purchase 45,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an average price of
$2.89 per share. The exercise price of the warrants for 20,000 of the shares is
subject to reduction depending on the number of initial shares of the Company's
common stock that the investors still own six months subsequent to their initial
purchase. On June 30, 1998, these investors purchased an initial 100,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at the market price of $5.00 per share. On
November 24, 1998, the Company sold an additional 77,042 shares of common stock
to these investors for $6.49 per share. Gross proceeds of $1,000,000 from the
sale of these securities were received during 1998. Costs related to
establishment of the equity line of credit and for the issuance of the
securities pursuant to this line of credit totaling $99,855 were charged to
additional paid-in capital. In addition, the Company issued 28,000 shares of
common stock to the placement agent as part of this transaction. During 1999,
these investors purchased an additional 256,292 shares of the Company's common
stock, for net proceeds of $2,468,659.

In July 1998, six members of the Company's Board of Directors (including the
Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the Company's Vice
Chairman and President, and the Chief

                                       45
<PAGE>

Executive Officer of Tekno Books, the Company's 51%-owned subsidiary) purchased
an aggregate of 187,442 shares of the Company's common stock for $5.00 per
share, the then market price of the stock. In conjunction with the private
placement of these shares, the investors received five-year warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 93,721 shares of the Company's Common stock at $5.00 per share.

On August 21, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan for the
repurchase of up to $1.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to this
plan, during 1998 the Company repurchased 42,850 shares of its common stock for
an aggregate consideration of $103,028, or an average purchase price of $2.40
per share. During 1999 the Company repurchased 39,500 shares of its common
stock for an aggregate consideration of $668,729, or an average purchase price
of $16.93 per share.

In September and November 1998, the Company sold 250 shares of its 7% Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") to two accredited
investors. The Company realized gross proceeds of $2,500,000 from these private
placements, less expenses and placement fees of $281,917. In connection with
this transaction, the Company also issued two five-year warrants to each
investor. The two warrants entitle the investors to purchase the number of
shares of common stock equal to the aggregate purchase price of shares of Series
D Preferred Stock acquired divided by the closing price of the common stock on
the trading date immediately before the date of purchase, multiplied by 20% and
30%, respectively, at exercise prices equal to 150% and 125%, respectively, of
such closing price, subject to certain adjustments. The value of the warrants on
the dates of issuance of $414,372, less expenses of $33,730, has been deducted
from the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock and is reflected as
warrants outstanding. Commissions and cost of issuance have been prorated
between the Series D Preferred Stock and the warrants. The stock purchase
agreement also provides for the potential issuance of adjustment shares of the
Company's common stock to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock under
certain limited conditions. During 1999 the holders of Series D Preferred stock
converted all of the outstanding shares into 679,859 shares of common stock.

In November 1998, the Company sold 50 shares of its 7% Series D-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series D-2 Preferred Stock") to an accredited investor.
The Company realized gross proceeds of $500,000 from this private placement,
less expenses and placement fees of $68,239. In connection with this
transaction, the Company also issued two five-year warrants to the investor. The
warrants entitle the investor to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common
stock for $5.175 per share and 16,667 shares for $6.26 per share, both of which
were above market exercise prices at the time the warrants were issued. The
value of the warrants on the date of issuance of $116,941 has been deducted from
the stated value of the Series D-2 Preferred Stock and is reflected as warrants
outstanding. During 1999 the holders of Series D-2 Preferred Stock converted all
of the outstanding shares into 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

On February 17, 1999, the holder of the Company's Series C 4% Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") converted all of the outstanding
shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock.

On May 18, 1999, the holders of the Company's Series A and B Variable Rate
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A and B Preferred Stock") converted all of
the outstanding shares of Series A and B Preferred Stock into 300,631 shares of
the Company's common stock.

purchase price of $21.25 per share. In addition, the Company issued to the same
investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 189,947 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $21.25 per share. The gross proceeds of the private
placement were $12,108,675. The Company issued 42,600 shares of common stock as
a fee to the placement agent.

On May 18, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
CinemaSource. The purchase price consisted of cash and 436,191 shares of common
stock valued at $12.50 per share.

On May 20, 1999, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of hollywood.com,
Inc. The purchase price consisted of an unsecured promissory note and 2,300,075
shares of common stock valued at $12.64 per share. As part of the transaction
costs the Company issued 53,452 shares of common stock for services rendered in
connection with the acquisition.

On August 31, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the motion
picture-related assets of Paul Kagan Associates, Inc. for 492,611 shares of
common stock valued at $17.81 per share. The Company also issued to Paul Kagan

and is being amortized over the term of the contract. Amortization of $140,598
is include as general and administrative expenses for 1999.

In December 1999 the Company issued 35,294 shares of stock to Broadway
Technologies Group, Inc. to acquire Broadway.com. The stock is valued at
$600,000. This transaction closed in January 2000. The stock was held by legal

(11)  STOCK OPTION PLANS:
------------------------

       1993 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan"), 3,000,000 shares
of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of
options. In addition, the 1993 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved
for issuance thereunder will automatically be increased on the first day of each
fiscal quarter of the Company so that such number equals 12.5% of the Company's
outstanding common stock. The 1993 Plan is designed to serve as an incentive for
retaining qualified and competent consultants and employees. The Stock Option
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") administers and
interprets the 1993 Plan and is authorized to grant options thereunder to all
eligible consultants, employees and officers of the Company.

The 1993 Plan provides for the granting of both "incentive stock options" (as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and
nonqualified stock options. Options are granted under the 1993 Plan on such
terms and at such prices as determined by the Committee. Each option is
exercisable after the period or periods specified in the option agreement, but
no option can be exercised until six months

                                       47
<PAGE>

after the date of grant, or after the expiration of 10 years from the date of
grant. Options granted under the 1993 Plan are not transferable other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The 1993 Plan also authorizes
the Company to make loans to employees to enable them to exercise their options.
Such loans must (i) provide for recourse to the optionee, (ii) bear interest at
a rate no less than the rate of interest payable by the Company to its principal
lender at the time the loan is made, and (iii) be secured by the shares of
common stock purchased. No such loans were made in either 1999 or 1998.

       DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has established the Directors Stock Option Plan for directors, which
provides for automatic grants to each director of options to purchase shares of
the Company's common stock having a market value at the time of grant equal to
$25,000 (i) upon a person's election as a director and (ii) each year thereafter
upon such person's reelection as a director of the Company, in both instances at
an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of the grant. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options granted under the Directors Stock Option Plan.
Options granted under the Directors Stock Option Plan become exercisable in full
six months after the date of grant and expire five years after the date of
grant. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may cancel all options granted
under the Directors Stock Option Plan that remain unexercised on the date of
consummation of certain corporate transactions described in the Directors Stock
Option Plan.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using
an option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for
grants in 1999 and 1998: risk free interest rate of 6.65% and 4.9%,
respectively; expected lives of 2 years for two year options, 3 years for four
year options and 4 years for five and ten year options; and expected volatility
ranging from 70.7% to 129.94% in 1999 and 36.3% to 70.7% in 1998.

In 1999 and 1998, the Company recorded an expense of $356,106 and $54,189,
respectively, related to stock options granted on various dates to non-employees
of the Company. An additional $19,398 was capitalized as debt issuance costs
representing the value of 11,201 warrants issued to the lessor and the leasing
broker in connection with the 1998 Sale/Leaseback (see Note 8).

(12)  RESERVE FOR CLOSED STORES:
-------------------------------

The Company aggressively pursued closure of its retail kiosk locations during
1998. Fifteen of the 29 mall leases were terminated at the expiration of the
lease, or at the mutual consent of the Company and lessor, at no additional cost
to the Company. In December 1999 the Company closed its six remaining retail
stores and recorded a reserve for closed stores of $4,551,094 and $1,121,028 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. The remaining carrying value of the
fixed assets and other assets related to retail operations were written off to
reserve for closed stores. The Company established an inventory reserve of
$247,940 in 1999; this amount is included in cost of sales. A liability was
recorded for estimated cost of early lease terminations of $800,000 and $467,554
at December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. The Company made a decision in
December 1999 to close its retail operations.

(13)  INCOME TAXES:
------------------

The Company is in a loss position for both financial and tax reporting purposes.
The Company follows SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires,
among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates
attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and
income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss
carryforwards to the extent that realization of said benefits is "more likely
than not". The primary item giving rise to such deferred tax asset is a loss
carryforward of approximately $51,344,492 as a result of the operating losses
incurred for the period from inception (January 22, 1993) to December 31, 1999.
However, due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to generate taxable
income in the future, and, to the extent taxable income is generated in the
future, the uncertainty as to the Company's ability to utilize its loss
carryforwards subject to the "ownership change" provisions of Section 382 of the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Company had established a valuation allowance
for the full amount of the deferred tax asset in 1996. During 1997, based
primarily on taxable income that was expected to be generated upon consummation
of the Huge Entertainment transaction, the Company decreased the valuation
allowance by $1,407,600. The Company has re-established the valuation allowance
to the full amount of the deferred tax asset in 1998 and 1999 because the
Company is not certain that the deferred tax assets will be utilized in the
future.

(14)   NETCO PARTNERS:

In June 1995, the Company and C.P. Group, Inc. ("C.P. Group"), a company in
which Tom Clancy is a 50% shareholder, entered into an agreement to form NetCo
Partners (the "NetCo Joint Venture Agreement"). NetCo Partners is engaged in the
publishing and licensing of entertainment properties, including TOM CLANCY'S
NetForce.

The Company and C.P. Group are each 50% partners in NetCo Partners. C.P. Group
contributed to NetCo Partners all rights to TOM CLANCY'S NETFORCE, and the
Company contributed to NetCo Partners all rights to TAD WILLIAMS' MIRRORWORLD,
ARTHUR C. CLARKE'S WORLDS OF ALEXANDER, NEIL GAIMAN'S LIFERS, and ANNE
MCCAFFREY'S SARABAND.

The NetCo Joint Venture Agreement provides for an initial term (the "Development
Term") of 5 years during which the partners will jointly develop the contributed
properties. The Development Term may be extended by the mutual consent of the
partners and shall terminate upon 30 days notice to the Company by C.P. Group
should Mitchell Rubenstein cease to be Chief Executive Officer of the Company
and Laurie S. Silvers cease to be the President of the Company. Upon termination
of the Development Term, any undeveloped properties (excluding TOM CLANCY'S
NETFORCE which will remain owned 50% by the Company and 50% by C.P. Group) are
to be returned to their respective contributing partner and any properties in
development or already developed are to be properties of the joint venture which
shall continue until its bankruptcy, dissolution, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets.

Pursuant to the terms of the NetCo Partners Joint Venture Agreement, the Company
is responsible for developing, producing, manufacturing, advertising, promoting,
marketing and distributing NetCo Partners' illustrated novels and related
products and for advancing all costs incurred in connection therewith. All
amounts advanced by the Company to fund NetCo Partners' operations are treated
as capital contributions of the Company and the Company is entitled to a return
of such capital contributions before distributions of cash flow are split
equally between the Company and C.P. Group.

NetCo Partners has signed several significant licensing agreements for TOM
CLANCY'S NETFORCE. These agreements include two book licensing agreements for
North American rights to a series of adult and young adult books with the
Berkley Publishing Group, an audio book agreement with Random House Audio
Publishing, and licensing agreements with various foreign publishers for rights
to publish TOM CLANCY'S NETFORCE books in eight different languages. These
contracts typically provide for payment of non-refundable advances to NetCo
Partners upon achievement of specific milestones, and for additional royalties
based on sales of the various products at levels in excess of the levels
implicit in the non-refundable advances. NetCo Partners recognizes revenue
pursuant to these contracts when the earnings process has been completed based
on performance of all services and delivery of completed manuscript.

The Company records its investment in NetCo Partners under the equity method of
accounting, recognizing 50% of NetCo Partners' income or loss as Equity in
Earnings of NetCo Partners. Since NetCo Partners is a partnership, any income
tax payable is passed through to the partners. The revenues, gross profit and
net income of NetCo Partners for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998 are presented below:

                                   1999              1998            1997

        Revenues               $3,028,748        $2,685,928       $6,551,470
        Gross Profit           $2,474,026        $2,052,907       $5,477,625

During 1998, NetCo Partners and ABC modified their arrangement, which resulted
in a modification of revenues previously accrued in 1997 under the ABC
mini-series arrangement for NETFORCE. The mini-series arrangement originally
provided for a payment to NetCo Partners of $1.6 million should the NETFORCE
mini-series not air by May 1999 and a minimum guaranteed license fee if it
aired. ABC substantially completed production of the mini-series during 1998 (at
a sizeable cost which was funded entirely by ABC), and the mini-series aired on
ABC for four hours over two nights in February 1999. Under the new arrangement,
NetCo Partners received a $400,000 rights fee during 1998 and future profit
participation in the mini-series in lieu of the original guaranteed license fee.
Accordingly, in 1998 NetCo Partners reversed the $1.6 million fee recorded in
1997 and recognized the $400,000 rights fee. Future revenues under the ABC
mini-series arrangement will be based on profit participation.

As of December 31, 1999, NetCo Partners has $1,866,348 in accounts receivable.
Management of NetCo Partners believes that the receivables will be collected in
full and no reserves have been established.

NetCo Partners' deferred revenues, consisting of advances received but not yet
recognized as income, amounted to $1,614,532 as of December 31, 1999.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company has received cumulative profit
distributions from NetCo Partners since its formation totaling $3,484,064, in
addition to reimbursement of substantially all amounts advanced by the Company
to fund the operations of NetCo Partners.

 (15)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

       OPERATING LEASES-

The Company conducts its operations in various leased facilities, including
retail locations, under leases that are classified as operating leases for
financial statement purposes. Certain leases provide for payment of real estate
taxes, common area maintenance, insurance, and certain other expenses,
including, in some instances, contingent rentals based on sales. Lease terms
expire at various dates through the year 2008. Also, certain equipment used in
the Company's operations is leased under operating leases. Operating lease
commitments at December 31, 1999 are as follows:

                          2000                               $  1,286,440

                          2003                                    430,567

                          Thereafter                            1,342,533
                                                            --------------
                                   Total                    $   5,604,360
                                                            ==============

The fixed operating lease commitments detailed above assume that the Company
continues the leases through their initial lease terms. Several leases for the
Company's retail mall locations contain clauses permitting and/or requiring the
Company to terminate the leases at earlier specified dates without penalty in
the event certain predetermined sales levels are not met. In addition, the
Company is currently negotiating the early termination of various operating
leases with an aggregate total commitment of approximately $2,757,000 included
above. The Company expects to negotiate termination and release from these
leases for approximately $800,000, which has been accrued at December 31, 1999
as part of the reserve for closed stores and lease termination costs. Rent
expense, including equipment rentals, was $1,405,620, $1,804,734 and $1,694,381
during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is included in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.

         Tax Loan - As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company
and CinemaSource, the Company has agreed to make a loan to the shareholder of
CinemaSource to pay the taxes due on the portion of the purchase price paid in
the form of common stock (not to exceed 24% of the value of the shares at the
time of closing).

       EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS-

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS-
---------------------

Effective July 1, 1998, the Company extended its employment agreements with each
of Mitchell Rubenstein, to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, and Laurie Silvers, to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board and
President for an additional five-year term. Mitchell Rubenstein and Laurie
Silvers are also shareholders in the Company. The terms of each of the
employment agreements will automatically be extended for successive one-year
terms unless the Company or the executive gives written notice to the other at
least 90 days prior to the then scheduled expiration date. Each of the
employment agreements provides for an annual salary currently set at $239,000
(subject to cost- of-living increases), an annual bonus of an amount determined
by the Board of Directors (but not less than $25,000), and an automobile
allowance of $650 per month. Each employment agreement generally provides that
the executive will continue to receive his or her salary until the expiration of
the terms of the employment agreements if the executive's employment is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than death, disability or cause
(as defined in the employment agreements), or for a period of 12 months after
termination of the employment agreement as a result of the executive's
disability, and that the executive's estate will receive a lump-sum payment
equal to one year's base salary plus a pro rata portion of any bonus to which
the executive is entitled upon termination of the employment agreement by reason
of the executive's death. A termination by the Company of the employment of one
of the executives will constitute a termination without cause of the other
executive for purposes of the employment agreements. Each employment agreement
also prohibits the executive from directly or indirectly competing with the
Company for one year after termination of the employment agreement for any
reason except the Company's termination of the executive's employment without
cause. If a Change of Control (as defined in the employment agreements) occurs,
the employment agreements provide for the continued employment of the executives
until the earlier of two years following the Change of Control or the then
scheduled expiration date of the term of employment. In addition, following a

                                       53
<PAGE>

Change of Control, if the executive's employment is terminated by the Company
other than for cause or by reason of the executive's death or disability, or by
the executive for certain specified reasons (such as a reduction of the
executive's compensation or diminution of the executive's duties), the executive
will receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to three times the executive's then
existing base salary and most recent annual bonus. Mitchell Rubenstein and
Laurie Silvers each received compensation for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 of $270,562, $303,365 and $218,017, respectively, which is
included in salaries and benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations. The increase in compensation in 1998 from that in 1997 is primarily
because both Mitchell Rubenstein and Laurie Silvers waived a portion of the
salary payable to them pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements
during 1997 and such amounts were paid to them in 1998 in the form of a bonus.

         Effective May 31, 1999, the Company entered into a four-year employment
agreement with W. Robert Shearer, the Company's Senior Vice President and
General Counsel. The agreement provides for an annual base salary currently set
at $120,000, increasing by 10% on May 31, 2000 and on each one-year anniversary
of such date, and a minimum annual bonus of $25,000. The agreement also provides
for the issuance of 75,000 options to purchase common stock of the Company upon
the effective date of the agreement and the issuance of at least 50,000 options
to purchase common stock of the Company on each one-year anniversary of the
effective date. If the executive's employment is terminated without cause at any
time during the term, the Company is required to pay to the executive an amount
equal to the greater of (a) the aggregate base salary that the executive would
have received for the remaining term of the agreement and (b) six months of
executive's then current salary. The term "cause" is defined in the agreement as
(a) any act or omission of the executive that constitutes a willful and material
breach of the agreement that is uncured at least 30 days' after notice thereof;
(b) fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation against the Company; or (c)
conviction of any criminal act that is a felony.

         SHAREHOLDER/DIRECTOR CONSULTING AGREEMENT-

The Company is obligated under a ten year consulting agreement, which expires
November 2003, to pay Martin Greenberg, the Chief Executive Officer of Tekno
Books (who is also one of its shareholders/directors), $30,000 per year for
services. The agreement can be terminated by either the Company or the
shareholder/director beginning in January 1998 or under certain other
conditions.

The Company is also obligated to pay Greenberg a fee as the exclusive packager
of all books based on the Company's intellectual properties. This packaging fee,
which is typically equal to 25% of the revenues from the books, is paid for the
procurement and delivery of all new text required by the publisher for the
books. During 1999, the Company accrued $421,647 in packaging fees pursuant to
this contract, of which $178,229 was paid and $243,148 remains payable at
December 31, 1999.

         LITIGATION-

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business, including litigation related to five separate leases that
were terminated by the Company upon closing of its retail business. The Company
does not expect any of these legal proceedings to have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

 (18)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

         On January 3, 2000 the Company signed an agreement with CBS Corporation
providing for the issuance to CBS of 6,672,031 shares of our common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $105,303,030. $100,000,000 of the purchase price is
payable by CBS in advertising, promotion and content over a seven-year term.
During 1999, CBS provided $2.3 million in advertising to the Company. This was
included in the accompanying balance sheet as accrued CBS non-cash advertising
and in the accompanying statement of operations as selling and marketing
expense. CBS will conduct the advertising and promotion across its full range of
media properties, including the CBS television network, CBS owned and operated
television stations, CBS cable networks, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation's
radio stations and outdoor billboards, CBS Internet sites and CBS syndicated
television and radio programs. To supplement the Company's internal sales
efforts, the Company will have the right to require CBS to sell advertisements
on the Hollywood.com web site generating advertising revenues of up to $1.5
million per year and will pay an 8% commission on any additional advertising
revenues generated by CBS for the Company. The balance of the purchase price was
paid in cash by CBS to the Company upon the closing of the transaction in
January 2000. The Company issued in 2000 to CBS upon the closing of the
transaction a Warrant to purchase an additional 1,178,892 shares of common stock
for an aggregate exercise price of $10,937,002. Half of the warrant exercise
price is payable in cash and half is payable in additional advertising and
promotion during the 24-month period immediately following the exercise of the
Warrant by CBS. CBS exercised the warrant on March 28, 2000. The Company
received $5.5 million in proceeds on March 28, 2000.

         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS. Effective July 1, 1993, the Company entered into
five-year employment agreements with each of Mitchell Rubenstein, the Company's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Laurie S. Silvers, the Company's Vice
Chairman and President. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company extended each of
these employment agreements for an additional five-year term. The terms of each
of the employment agreements are automatically extended for successive one-year
terms unless the Company or the Named Executive Officer gives written notice to
the other at least 90 days prior to the then-scheduled expiration date. Each of
the employment agreements provides for an annual salary currently set at
$237,000 (subject to automatic cost-of-living increases), an annual bonus in an
amount determined by the Board of Directors (but not less than $25,000) and an
automobile allowance of

                                       61
<PAGE>

$650 per month. During 1997 the Named Executive Officers elected to waive a
portion of their base salary.

         Each employment agreement provides that each of the Named Executive
Officers will continue to receive his or her salary until the expiration of the
term of the employment agreements if the Named Executive Officer's employment is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than death, disability or Cause
(as defined in the employment agreements), or for a period of 12 months after
termination of the employment agreement as a result of the Named Executive
Officer's disability, and that the Named Executive Officer's estate will receive
a lump sum payment equal to one year's base salary plus a pro rata portion of
any bonus to which the Named Executive Officer is entitled upon termination of
the employment agreement by reason of the Named Executive Officer's death.

         The term "Cause" is defined in the employment agreements to mean (a) a
Named Executive Officer's act or omission which constitutes a willful and
material breach of such Named Executive Officer's employment agreement which is
not cured within 30 days after such Named Executive Officer's receipt of notice
of such breach, (b) a Named Executive Officer's fraud, embezzlement or
misappropriation of the Company's assets or property, or (c) a Named Executive
Officer's conviction for a criminal act that is a felony. A termination by the
Company of one of the Named Executive Officer's employment without Cause will
constitute a termination without Cause of the other Named Executive Officer for
purposes of the employment agreements. Each employment agreement also prohibits
the Named Executive Officer from directly or indirectly competing with the
Company for one year after termination of the employment agreement for any
reason except the Company's termination of the Named Executive Officer's
employment without Cause.

         If a Change of Control (as defined in the employment agreements)
occurs, the employment agreements provide for the continued employment of the
Named Executive Officers until the earlier of two years following the Change of
Control or the then-scheduled expiration date of the term of employment. The
term "Change of Control", as used in the employment agreements, is defined to
mean (a) any person's or group's acquisition of 20% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company's outstanding securities, or (b) in the event of any
cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of
assets or contested election, the persons who were directors of the Company
prior to such transaction ceasing to constitute a majority of the Board of
Directors following the transaction. In addition, following a Change in Control,
if the Named Executive Officer's employment is terminated by the Company other
than for Cause or by reason of the Named Executive Officer's death or
disability, or by the Named Executive Officer for certain specified reasons
(such as a reduction of the Named Executive Officer's compensation or diminution
of the Named Executive Officer's duties), the Named Executive Officer will
receive a lump sum cash payment equal to three times the Named Executive
Officer's then-existing base salary and most recent annual bonus. Mitchell
Rubenstein and Laurie S. Silvers agreed that the acquisition by CBS Corporation
of a 30% equity interest in the Company did not constitute a change of control
under the employment agreements.

         Effective May 31, 1999, the Company entered into a four-year employment
agreement with W. Robert Shearer, the Company's Senior Vice President and
General Counsel. The agreement provides for an annual base salary currently set
at $120,000, increasing by 10% on May 31, 2000 and on each one-year anniversary
of such date, and a minimum annual bonus of $25,000. The agreement also provides
for the issuance of 75,000 options to purchase common stock of the Company upon
the effective date of the agreement and the issuance of at least 50,000 options
to purchase common stock of the Company on

                                       62
<PAGE>

each one-year anniversary of the effective date. If the executive's employment

         STOCK OPTION PLAN. Under the 1993 Plan, 3,000,000 shares of common
stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of options. In addition, the 1993
Plan provides that the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder will
automatically be increased on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the
Company so that such number equals at least 12.5% of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock. The 1993 Plan is designed to serve as an incentive for retaining
qualified and competent consultants and employees. The Stock Option Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee") administers and interprets
the 1993 Plan and is authorized to grant options thereunder to all eligible
consultants and employees, including officers of the Company.

         The 1993 Plan provides for the granting of both "incentive stock
options" (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) and nonqualified stock options.
Options are granted under the 1993 Plan on such terms and at such prices as
determined by the Committee. Each option is exercisable after the period or
periods specified in the option agreement, but no option can be exercised until
six months after the date of grant or more than 10 years from the date of grant.
Options granted under the 1993 Plan are not transferable other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. The 1993 Plan also authorizes the
Company to make loans to optionees to enable them to exercise their options.
Such loans must provide for recourse to the optionee, be interest-bearing and be
secured by the shares of common stock purchased.

         As of March 15, 2000, options to purchase 2,617,914 shares of common
stock were outstanding under the 1993 Plan and options to purchase 133,786
shares of common stock issued under the 1993 Plan had been exercised.

         LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND PENSION PLANS. The Company does not have any
other long-term incentive or pension plans.

         COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Directors of the Company who are neither
employees nor consultants ("non-employee directors") are compensated at the rate
of $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended, and all directors
are reimbursed for travel and lodging expenses in connection with their
attendance at meetings. The Company has established for the non-employee
directors the Director's Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"), which
provides for automatic grants to each non-employee director of options to
purchase shares of common stock having a market value at the time of grant equal
to $25,000 (i) upon a person's election as a director and (ii) each year
thereafter upon

                                       64
<PAGE>

such person's reelection as a director of the Company, in both instances at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
the grant. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options granted under the Directors Plan. Options to
issue 78,594 shares of common stock have been issued under the Directors Plan.
Options granted under the Directors Plan become exercisable six months after the
date of grant and, except as otherwise approved by the Board, expire five years
after the date of grant. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel
all options granted under the Directors Plan that remain unexercised on the date
of consummation of certain corporate transactions described in the Directors
Plan. The Directors Plan will terminate in July 2003 unless sooner terminated
under the provisions thereof. As of March 15, 2000, options to purchase shares
of common stock have been issued to the Company's current directors under the
Directors Plan as follows:

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.


TRANSACTION WITH CBS CORPORATION

         We entered into a strategic, seven-year relationship with CBS
Corporation in January 2000 that provides for extensive promotion of the
Hollywood.com web site. In connection with our strategic relationship, CBS
Corporation purchased 6,672,031 shares of our common stock, representing
approximately 30% of our outstanding common stock, in exchange for $5,303,030 in
cash and $100,000,000 of advertising, promotion, content and advertising sales
support over a seven-year term pursuant to an Advertising and Promotion
Agreement and a Content Agreement. We also issued to CBS Corporation a Warrant
to purchase an additional 1,178,892 shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate
exercise price of $10,937,002. Half of the warrant exercise price is payable in

number of circumstances, including, among others, if the Hollywood.com web site
contains, or links to, content that violates specified CBS license guidelines
and we fail to remove such content or links, we violate the terms of our other

Corporation acquire a significant equity stake in the Company.

         CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT. CBS Corporation has agreed to provide us an
aggregate of $30 million in value over a seven-year term to be allocated in our
discretion to the license of content, advertising sales or advertising and

         ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION. We have the right to allocate all or any

         CBS has the right to terminate its obligations under the Content
Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the events that permit it to terminate
its obligations under the Advertising and Promotion Agreement.

         INVESTOR'S RIGHTS AGREEMENT. The Investor's Rights Agreement between
the Company and CBS sets forth various rights and obligations of the Company and
CBS related to CBS's ownership of the Company's common stock, including CBS's
registration rights with respect to the common stock, the Company's right of
first refusal with respect to transfers by CBS of the common stock, standstill
provisions to which CBS is bound, and preemptive rights of CBS with respect to
certain issuances of common stock and other securities by the Company.

         REGISTRATION RIGHTS. CBS has the right to initiate up to four
registrations under the Securities Act

                                       68
<PAGE>

of 1933 of the common stock that it acquired from the Company. The Investor's
Rights Agreement contains various restrictions on the timing of such
registrations. In addition, CBS has "piggyback" registration rights allowing it
to include the shares of common stock that it acquires from the Company in
registrations of the Company's common stock initiated by the Company or other
shareholders. The Company will pay all expenses associated with any such
registrations other than underwriters' fees or commissions relating to the sale
of the common stock.

         TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. CBS is not permitted to
transfer any shares of the Company's common stock prior to January 3, 2001,
except to certain affiliates of CBS. If CBS proposes to transfer any shares of
common stock during the six year period following the first year, other than to
certain affiliates or in a bona fide public distribution pursuant to an
effective registration statement, the Company has the right to purchase the
shares on the same terms on which CBS proposes to transfer them to a third
party. The Company's right of first refusal will terminate (a) at such time as
Mitchell Rubenstein, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, and Laurie S. Silvers, the Company's Vice Chairman of the Board and
President, have sold more than 60% of the common stock owned by them as of the
closing of the transaction or (b) at any time after the second anniversary of
the closing if CBS owns less than 15% of the Company's outstanding common stock
(other than as a result of transfers by CBS of at least half of the common stock
acquired by it from the Company).

         STANDSTILL PROVISIONS. For a period of seven years ending in January
2007, CBS agrees that, except as contemplated by the Investor's Rights
Agreement, it will not, directly or indirectly, do any of the following:

     (1) acquire or propose to acquire any securities of the Company if, after
         giving effect thereto, CBS and its affiliates beneficially own in
         excess of 34.8% of the Company's outstanding common stock;

     (2) solicit proxies or become a participant in a solicitation of proxies or
         consents with respect to any securities of the Company or initiate or
         encourage the submission of any stockholder proposal or election
         contest with respect to the Company;

     (3) take any action for the purpose of convening a meeting of the
         shareholders of the Company or initiate any process to solicit or
         obtain consents of shareholders in lieu of a meeting;

     (4) except as may be required by applicable law, make any public
         announcement or disclosure in respect in respect of any plan, contract
         or arrangement relating to the acquisition of capital stock of the
         Company or a merger, sale of assets or other extraordinary corporate
         transaction relating to the Company;

     (5) deposit capital stock of the Company into a voting trust or subject
         capital stock of the Company to voting agreements, or grant a proxy or
         power-of-attorney with respect to any capital stock of the Company to
         any person not designated by the Company who is not an officer,
         director or employee of CBS or its affiliates;

     (6) form or in any participate in a group for the purpose of acquiring,
         holding, voting or disposing of securities of the Company; or

                                       69
<PAGE>

     (7) disclose publicly any intention or arrangement inconsistent with the
         foregoing or enter into any discussions or understandings with any
         third party with a view to encouraging any action prohibited with the
         foregoing.

         If the Company's board of directors approves or recommends to its
shareholders for approval any transaction in which a party (other than Company's
existing large shareholders) would acquire at least 50% of the Company's
outstanding common stock, then the restrictions described above would not apply
during the pendency of the transaction and would cease upon the consummation of
the transaction.

         VOTING AGREEMENT. The Voting Agreement among the Company, CBS and
certain shareholders of the Company contains agreements by such parties with
respect to nominating individuals to serve on the Company's Board of Directors
and the voting of the common stock owned by such parties in favor of such
nominees. CBS has the right to nominate for election to the Company's Board of
Directors a number of individuals equal to the product of CBS's percentage
ownership of the Company's common stock and the total number of members of the
Board of Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number). In addition, as
long as the Promotion Agreement and the Content Agreement remain in effect, CBS
shall have the right to designate at least one nominee to the Board. In all
elections for members of the Board, each of the shareholders that is a party to
the Voting Agreement agrees to vote all shares beneficially owned by them in
favor of the CBS designees. Each of The Times Mirror Company, Mitchell
Rubenstein, Laurie S. Silvers, Martin H. Greenberg and Rosalind Greenberg are
parties to the Voting Agreement. As of March 15, 2000, those shareholders
beneficially owned approximately 11.7% of the Company's outstanding common
stock. CBS's current nominees to the Board of Directors are Mitchell Semel and
Farid Suleman.

         In all elections for members of the Board, CBS agrees to vote all
shares of common stock owned by it, or over which it has voting control, in
favor of (1) each individual nominated for election to the Board by the Company,
and (2) each individual nominated for election to the Board by The Times Mirror
Company pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement between the Company and The Times
Mirror Company.

         CBS's right to nominate directors for election to the Board will
terminate upon the acquisition by CBS of an equity interest in excess of 15% in
any entity who owns, operates or controls a web site that is a competitor of the
HOLLYWOOD.COM web site. The Voting Agreement contains a description of the type
of web site that will constitute a competitor of the HOLLYWOOD.COM web site.

TRANSACTIONS WITH THE TIMES MIRROR COMPANY

         In May 1999 the Company completed the acquisition of hollywood.com,
Inc. (formerly known as Hollywood Online Inc.) from The Times Mirror Company.
The Company paid the purchase price for the acquisition by issuing to Times
Mirror 2,300,075 shares of common stock and an unsecured promissory note for
$1,928,138. The promissory note matures on May 20, 2000 and bears interest at
the prime rate in effect from time to time of Citibank, N.A. plus 1%. Interest
is due quarterly in arrears beginning June 30, 1999 with the final payment due
at maturity. The promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time
without payment of any premiums or penalty.

         The Company and Times Mirror entered into the following additional
agreements in connection with the Company's acquisition of hollywood.com, Inc.

                                       70
<PAGE>

         SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT. The Company and Times Mirror entered into a
Shareholder Agreement containing various rights and obligations associated with
Times Mirror's ownership of the common stock. Pursuant to the Shareholder
Agreement, Times Mirror agreed to certain standstill provisions, including that
it will not acquire any additional equity securities of the Company or solicit
proxies or consents with respect to the securities of the Company or initiate
any shareholder proposal. In addition, Times Mirror agreed that it will not
transfer any common stock to any competitor of the Company, or to any transferee
or group of related transferees of the Company that would, after such transfer,
hold more than 2.5% of the voting securities of the Company.

         Times Mirror also agreed pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement that for
a period of three years after the closing of the acquisition it will vote all
shares of common stock owned by it in favor of the nominees for election to the
Company's Board of Directors recommended to the Company's shareholders by the
Board of Directors. In addition, with respect to all other matters submitted to
a vote of the shareholders of the Company (other than certain transactions that
would dilute its ownership of Company common stock or result in a change of
control of the Company), Times Mirror agrees that for a period of three years it
will vote all shares of Company common stock owned by it in the same proportion
as all other shareholders of the Company vote on any such matter.

         Times Mirror will be entitled to designate one person as a nominee for
election to the Company's Board of Directors as long as it beneficially owns at
least 5% of the voting securities of the Company. If the Company increases the
size of its Board of Directors from nine to ten members, Times Mirror will be
entitled to designate one additional person as a nominee for election to the
Company's Board of Directors. If the Company increases the size of its Board of
Directors to a number greater than ten, Times Mirror shall be entitled to
designate a number of nominees proportionate to its percentage ownership of
Company common stock. Times Mirror's current nominee to the Board of Directors
is Thomas Unterman.

         The standstill provisions of the Shareholder Agreement terminate upon
the earlier to occur of January 10, 2004 and the date of a change of control (as
defined) of the Company. The other provisions of the Shareholder Agreement
terminate on the earliest of these dates and the date on which Times Mirror
beneficially owns less than 5% of the voting securities of the Company.

         REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT. The Company and Times Mirror entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement upon the closing of the acquisition, which
provides Times Mirror with the right to require the Company to register the
common stock acquired by Times Mirror in the acquisition under the Securities
Act under certain conditions. Times Mirror and its permitted transferees have
the right on four separate occasions to require the Company to effect a
registration under the Securities Act of at least 20% of the common stock
acquired by Times Mirror in the acquisition to be sold in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering for cash. In addition, at any time when the Company
proposes to register shares of common stock under the Securities Act, it will
give notice to Times Mirror and its permitted transferees of its intention to do
so and of the material terms of the proposed registration. The Company will use
its best efforts to include in the proposed registration all shares of common
stock that it is requested in writing by Times Mirror or its permitted
transferees to register. The permitted transferees of Times Mirror that are
entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement include only
wholly owned subsidiaries of Times Mirror and certain charitable organizations
affiliated with Times Mirror.

                                       71
<PAGE>

         NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT. The Company and Times Mirror also entered
into a Non-Competition Agreement upon the closing of the acquisition. Times
Mirror agrees in the Non-Competition Agreement that for a period of three years
after the closing, it will not engage or participate in any business or venture
that operates as its primary focus a national- or international-targeted web
site dedicated to providing movie-going consumers with movie-related information
or offering for sale movie-themed merchandise or tickets for movies (a
"Competing Business"). In addition, Times Mirror agrees that for a period of
three years after the closing, it will not own, manage, operate, promote,
control, or be connected with as a stockholder (other than on a passive basis
with less than 5% of the equity of a publicly-traded company or less than 10% of
the equity of a privately-owned company), joint venturer or partner in, any
Competing Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain business ventures and
activities of Times Mirror shall not be considered a Competing Business,
including, among others, the operation of the current web sites operated by
newspapers owned by Times Mirror to the extent the web sites provide primarily
local and regional movie information and movie-themed merchandise and the
licensing and syndication of movie information by the L.A. Times Syndicate to
third parties, which information is posted to such parties' web sites.

         CROSS-PROMOTION AGREEMENT. In connection with the closing of the
acquisition, the Company and the LOS ANGELES TIMES, a division of Times Mirror,
entered into a cross-promotion and content sharing agreement whereby the LOS
ANGELES TIMES and the latimes.com web site make certain entertainment-related
content available for use on the hollywood.com web site and hollywood.com makes
certain content available for use on the latimes.com web site. In addition, the
Company is the exclusive vendor of movie-related merchandise on the latimes.com
web site and the LOS ANGELES TIMES receives a commission based on the revenues
generated by the sale of such merchandise through the latimes.com web site.


INVESTMENTS BY AFFILIATE OF THE SIMON PROPERTY GROUP

         Pursuant to a 1995 stock purchase agreement with Tekno Simon, an
affiliate of the Simon Property Group, and its Co-Chairman, Melvin Simon, Tekno
Simon invested $2,000,000 in shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock and $1,000,000 in shares of the Company's common
stock.

         Under the original Simon Stock Purchase Agreement, the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock were convertible at the option
of the holder, at any time prior to November 28, 1997, into shares of common
stock on a one-for-one basis.

         In May 1999 the Company agreed to extend the conversion option and
allow Tekno Simon to convert the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock into
common stock. In exchange, Tekno Simon agreed to waive certain accrued dividends
payable on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. In May 1999 Tekno Simon
converted all of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock into 300,631 shares
of common stock.

         Pursuant to the Simon Stock Purchase Agreement, Tekno Simon has the
right to designate one nominee to the Company's Board of Directors until such
time as Tekno Simon holds less than 25% of the sum of (i) the shares of common
stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and

                                       72
<PAGE>

(ii) the shares of common stock purchased by Tekno Simon in 1995. Certain
principal shareholders of the Company, including Mitchell Rubenstein, Laurie S.
Silvers and Dr. Martin H. Greenberg, have agreed to vote their shares of common
stock in favor of the election of Tekno Simon's nominee to the Board of
Directors. Tekno Simon's current nominee on the Board of Directors is Deborah J.
Simon.

INVESTMENT BY THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS

         In May 1999, the Company issued 569,820 shares of common stock in a
private placement at a purchase price of $21.25 per share. In addition, the
Company issued to the same investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of
189,947 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $21.25 per share. Five
members of the Company's Board of Directors participated in the private
placement and purchased an aggregate of 35,700 shares of common stock and
received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,902 shares of common stock on
the same terms as the other investors in the private placement.

         In July 1998, six members of the Company's Board of Directors
(including the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the
Company's Vice Chairman and President, and the Chief Executive Officer of Tekno
Books, the Company's 51%-owned subsidiary) purchased an aggregate of 187,442
shares of the Company's common stock for $5.00 per share, the then market price
of the stock. In conjunction with the private placement of these shares, the
investors received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 93,721 shares
of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT WITH DR. MARTIN H. GREENBERG

         In 1993 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Martin
H. Greenberg pursuant to which Dr. Greenberg agreed to render advisory and
consulting services to the Company, including identifying best-selling authors
to create intellectual properties for the Company and negotiating agreements
with such authors, arranging for the publication of prose novels and anthologies
for children and adults based on the Company's characters, and attending trade
shows and conventions on the Company's behalf. The consulting agreement will
expire in November 2003, unless terminated earlier, which termination may take
place only under certain conditions. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, in
November 1993 Dr. Greenberg began receiving consulting fees of $30,000 per year
and was granted an option to purchase 6,250 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $8.00 per share. In connection with the acquisition of Tekno
Books, the consulting agreement was amended on December 9, 1994 (i) to provide
that Dr. Greenberg will have the exclusive right to package novelizations based
on the Company's entertainment properties, and (ii) in lieu of future annual
stock option grants to which Dr. Greenberg was entitled under the original
agreement, to grant Dr. Greenberg options to purchase 17,778 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $8.4375 per share (the then approximate market
price of the common stock). Mr. Greenberg received the stock options and
receives the consulting fees in lieu of a base salary.

LINE OF CREDIT

         During the first quarter of 1999, Mitchell Rubenstein, the Company's
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Laurie S. Silvers, the
Company's Vice Chairman and President, agreed to increase their previously
extended $1.1 million unsecured line of credit facility to the Company to $5.5
million to enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the
balance of 1999. The interest rate on the line of credit was set at the JP
Morgan Bank prime rate of interest. This commitment

                                       73
<PAGE>

terminated in accordance with its terms during the second quarter of 1999 as a
result of the Company raising in excess of $5.5 million from other sources for
working capital purposes. There were no borrowings by the Company under this
facility as of the date of its termination.
