GENERAL
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring transactions) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated
financial position as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, the results of operations for
the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and of cash flows
for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate
to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form
10-KSB.
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
The financial statements presented are those of MLM World News Today,
Inc. (Global-Link Enterprises, Inc., A development stage company) ("the

Nevada on November 20, 1998. The Company was organized to develop a
multi-level marketing resource web site to offer web site hosting and
development services as well as a news portal for the multi-level
marketing community.

<PAGE> 6
Fully diluted loss per share is not presented as there are no
potentially dilutive items outstanding
c. Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
e. Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company will develop its revenue recognition policies when planned
principle operations commence. Costs of sales relate to the
amortization of the web site development.
f. Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward
for federal income tax purposes of approximately $276,000 that may be
used in future years to offset taxable income. The net operating loss
carry forward will expire in 2020. The tax benefit of the cumulative
carry forwards has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same
amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
In its second quarter operating period ended June 30, 2000, the Company
incurred a net loss of $114,353.00 compared to $14,217.00 during the same period
in 1999. The increased in loss is due to the dedication of the human resources
of the Company in the building of the infrastructure and the alliances required
to implement the initiative set forth by management in their marketing plan. The
Company is a development stage company and the company generated no revenue for
the period.
On March 13, 2000, the Company began limited operation of its Internet
portal www.mlmwnt.com. The Company initiated a stealth launch providing limited
services to its subscribers consisting of the News and information phase of
development only. The compelling Web Site is a FREE to subscribe real-time
global news and information source focusing on providing coverage of breaking
news, scheduled events, in-depth analysis, editorial content and original
reporting relative to the Newwork Marketing Industry. It is the goal of MLM
World News Today to provide the highest quality news and information to the
industry by fostering the development of information with truth and honesty and
a commitment to service in journalism through leadership and integrity.
To attract subscribers, the Company has developed a vast database of
information consisting of facts about over 1,000 Companies worldwide who are
engaged in the Network marketing industry. By providing these free services to
its subscribers, the Company is confident that it can harvest a meaningful
9
<PAGE> 10
user database of useful marketing information to promote the Company's revenue
generating services due for launch in early second quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company working capital is very limited. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2000, the Company funded its operating losses with a loan from a
related party. (Note 3)
As of June 30, 2000, the Company does not have any available credit,
bank financing or other external source of liquidity. Since the Company is in a
development stage therefore, its operations have not been a source of liquidity.
In order to obtain additional capital, the Company may need to sell additional
shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders and/or
management of the Company.
It can be expected that the future operating results will continue to
be subject to many of the problems, expenses, delay and risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise, many of which the Company cannot
control. The Company has formulated its business plans and strategies based on
certain assumptions of the Company's management regarding the size of the market
for the service which the Company will be able to offer, the Company's
anticipated share of the market, and the estimated prices for and acceptance of
the Company's products. The Company continues to believe its business plan and
the assumptions upon which they are based are valid. Although these plans and
assumptions are based on the best estimates of management, there can be no
assurance that these assessments will prove to be correct. No independent
marketing studies have been conducted on behalf of or otherwise obtained by the
Company, nor are any such studies planned. Any future success that the Company
might enjoy will depend upon many factors, including factors which may be beyond
the control of the Company or which cannot be predicted at this time.
The net sales and income growth during this development period are
negligible due primarily to the focus of management on the on going development
of the Corporation's infrastructure. Management of the Company has been focused
on the development, design and creation of what it believes are exciting and
innovative solutions for individuals and companies who wish to capitalize on the
tremendous power and growth of the Internet. MLM World News Today, Inc. has
created an environment to support web site design and development; web site
hosting; Domain name registration; Internet services as their own ISP;
e-commerce; residential and small business communications; a Credit Restoration
Service and real-time media content format via one of the Internet's premier
multilevel and Network Marketing news and information sites called "MLM World
News Today" at www.mlmworldnewstoday.com and www.mmwnt.com.
The Company is currently trading on the "Pink Sheets" or the OTC - BB
under the symbol "MLMS."
MEMBER LOYALTY
As an enticement to building Web Site loyalty, the Company will offer
subscribers a variety of free services. Management of the Company believes that
providing these free services is critical to the initial attraction of new
subscribers. During this "Ramp-up" phase, utilization of the Site by subscribers
will require only registration and not be assessed a user fee. This will allow
the Company to begin building a substantial marketing database. Utilization of
this marketing database will subsequently allow the company to leverage its
member-developed content and attract an even larger audience of users. As a
first time user becomes familiar with the site and increases their visit
frequency, the Company believes it will have an enhanced ability to take
advantage of the word-of-mouth advertising inherent in the Network Marketing
Industry to expand it's subscriber base. Management is convinced that this will
exponentially perpetuate the growth of the site and thereby increase direct
revenues as well as e-commerce shared revenues.
10
<PAGE> 11
SUBSCRIBER DEVELOPED CONTENT
A great deal of the News and information content of the Company's web site will
be developed by the users on a voluntary basis for the benefit of all users of
the site. As a result, the Company believes that it will be able to avoid the
majority of costs associated with this kind of content development. To assure
quality content, professional newswriters and editors have been engaged to
support the buildup of compelling content.
ATTRACTIVE MARKETING PLATFORM
The Company believes that its free services and extensive offerings will create
high volumes of traffic, enabling the Company to cost effectively promote their
MLM organization along with products and services on the Company's web site. The
Company also expects to be able to collect and provide valuable demographics
information and affinity based member segmentation during registration. This
will increase the Company's ability to target marketing campaigns. Further the
Company believes that the potential diversity of Internet groups among its
members will create potential cross marketing thereby building a broader range
of products and services, resulting in a correspondingly broader range of
consumers.
Realization of significant revenues generated by the Company's products and
services during the Fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 is vital to its plan of
operation. To this end management is currently focused on the development of the

CAUTIONARY FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENT
Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press
releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized
executive officer which are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking
statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company
wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
RISK FACTORS
Several of the matters discussed in this document contain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Factors
associated with the forward-looking statements that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected or forecast appear in the statements
below. In addition to other information contained in this document, readers
should carefully consider the following cautionary statements and risk factors:
If we are unable to raise sufficient capital. Our future success
depends largely on the ability to secure additional capital funding. Required,
product development, technology advancement, employee recruitment and hiring,
and related essential operating expenses are all dependent on new and
substantial

capital funding being secured. We cannot be certain that additional financing
will be available at the time we need additional funds or that, if available, it
can be obtained on terms that we deem favorable. If adequate capital funding
cannot be secured, we will have to curtail operations and our business will be
adversely affected. Additionally, the sale of stock to raise additional funds
may dilute our stockholders.
We have a limited relevant operating history upon which to evaluate the
likelihood of our success. Factors such as the risks, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered in the operation and expansion of a relatively new
business and the development and marketing of new products must be considered in
evaluating the likelihood of success of our company.
We have a history of losses and accumulated deficit and this trend of
losses may continue in the near future. For the period January 1, 2000 to June
30, 2000 we incurred a net loss of $ 171,751.00. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 The Company had a net loss of $101,212.00. At June 30, 2000
our accumulated deficit was $276,355.00. Our ability to obtain and sustain
profitability will depend, in part, upon the successful development and
marketing of our existing products and technologies and the successful and
timely introduction of new products.
We will have to rapidly expand our capabilities, once capital
funding is secured, in order to successfully pursue our Internet marketing
strategy. Our capabilities will be expanded by combining internal staffing with
the formation of strategic partnerships and with the selection of outside
contractors. If we are either unable to identify or to secure these resources in
a timely fashion, our future results will be adversely affected.
If we are unable to retain and utilize key personnel. As an early stage
company, we are particularly dependent on a limited number of individuals to
execute our business plan. At present, all our officers and directors fall in to
the category of key individuals as each is counted upon for contributions to our
success.
If we are unable to manage our expansion and growth. We are planning to
expand the business very rapidly in order to entrench ourselves in, what we
believe is a very lucrative market. Effectively managing this expansion will be
very complex and require the addition of key management personnel as well as the
incorporation of management support systems. Either the failure to identify and
attract key managers or the delayed incorporation of required management support
systems will adversely affect our future financial results. The successful
recruitment of key managers and the timely installation of management support
systems are both largely dependent on our efforts to secure adequate capital
funding that is discussed above.
