recommended and approved jointly by the Company&rsquo;s Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) and the Audit Committee of
the Board (the &ldquo;Audit Committee&rdquo;) as part of the Company&rsquo;s continuing effort to reduce costs and expenses while
maintaining an equivalent level of audit quality and services.</P>

and 2010, and through October&nbsp;12,&nbsp;2012, there were no (a)&nbsp;disagreements with Kaufman on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to
Kaufman&rsquo;s satisfaction, would have caused Kaufman to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its
reports for such years; or (b)&nbsp;reportable events, as described under Item&nbsp;304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company provided Kaufman with a copy
of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Kaufman a letter addressed to the Securities

SECTION 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial

Item 4.01       Changes
in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a)
Dismissal of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
On October 12, 2012, Hollywood
Media Corp. (the "Company") dismissed Kaufman, Rossin & Co., P.A. ("Kaufman") as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of October 12, 2012. The decision to dismiss Kaufman was
recommended and approved jointly by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") and the Audit Committee of
the Board (the "Audit Committee") as part of the Company's continuing effort to reduce costs and expenses while
maintaining an equivalent level of audit quality and services.
The reports of Kaufman on the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2011
and 2010, and through October 12, 2012, there were no (a) disagreements with Kaufman on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to
Kaufman's satisfaction, would have caused Kaufman to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its
reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Kaufman with a copy
of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Kaufman a letter addressed to the Securities
and Exchange Commission indicating whether Kaufman agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Kaufman's letter to the Securities
and Exchange Commission dated October 15, 2012 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b)
Engagement of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
On October 12, 2012, concurrently
with the dismissal of Kaufman and upon the joint recommendation and approval of the Board and the Audit Committee, the Company
engaged Marcum LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of October 17, 2012.
During the years ended December 31, 2011
and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through October 17, 2012, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company's
behalf has consulted with Marcum LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
