                        MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of presentation

   The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K filing for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

   The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the
six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997. The results for the six and
three month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the full fiscal year.

(2) Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments

   Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original
maturities of three months or less. At June 30, 1997 cash and cash equivalents
consisted principally of various money market accounts and commercial paper.
Their cost approximated their fair market value.

   Short-term investments are marketable securities with original maturities
less than or callable within one year. The Company has classified all marketable
debt securities as held to maturity and has accounted for these investments at
amortized cost. At June 30, 1997, short-term investments consisted principally
of tax-free municipal bonds. The fair market value of these debt instruments
approximated the amortized cost.

(3) Acquisition of Corporate TV Group, Inc.

  On June 16, 1997 Medialink acquired certain assets of Corporate TV Group, 
Inc.  The initial purchase price of $4 million was paid $3.67 million in cash
and $333,000 in Medialink common stock. As a result Medialink issued 37,037
shares of its common stock at closing. Earn-out provisions allow for up to an
additional $6.2 million to be paid based upon certain revenue and profitability
targets over the next five years. Assuming the targets are met, the overall
consideration will be in the form of 80 percent cash and 20 percent in Medialink
common stock.

  Medialink has accounted for this acquisition as a purchase. The initial
purchase price has been allocated primarily to the value of Corporate TV Group,
Inc. which will be amortized over a period of five years. The information
for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 reflect the operating
results of Corporate TV Group, Inc. from June 16, 1997.

(4) Stockholders' Equity

   In July 1996, the Company effected a 1.2 for one stock split. In addition,
the Company restated its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized
capitalization from 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0l per share
("Common Stock"), to 15,000,000 shares. These changes resulted in an increase in
Common Stock and corresponding decrease in additional paid-in capital. All per
share data and references to numbers of shares have been restated for all
periods presented to reflect these changes.

  On February 4, 1997 the Company completed a public offering of 2,000,000
shares of its common stock, at a public offering price of $9 per share (the
"Offering"). The net proceeds of approximately $15,600,000 to the Company from
the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes and acquisitions.
Concurrent with the closing of the initial public offering each share of the
Company's Series A, Series B and Series C cumulative convertible preferred stock
was automatically converted into 2,111,669 shares of Common Stock.

(5) Net income per share

   Pro forma net income per common and common equivalent share is calculated
using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during
the period, plus Common Stock issuable pursuant to options granted under the
Stock Option Plan. Stock options granted during the twelve-month period
immediately preceding the initial filing date of the Company's Registration
Statement for its public offering were assumed to be outstanding for all periods
presented. In addition, shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
all shares of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock into shares of
Common Stock are included in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all
periods presented. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the six month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
after reflecting a 1.2 for 1 stock split effective July 31, 1996, was 5,115,560
and 3,478,585, respectively, and the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the three month period ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, after reflecting a 1.2 for 1 stock split effective July 31,
1996, was 5,442,599 and 3,478,585, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996

   Revenues increased by $3.63 million, or 48.9%, from $7.43 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1996 (the "June 1996 Period") to $11.06 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1997 (the "June 1997 Period"), primarily due to increased
sales of distribution services, which increased by $1.59 million, production
services, which increased by $510,000, live broadcast services, which increased
by $980,000 and research services, which increased by $540,000.  Included in
distribution and research revenue above is revenue of approximately $1.02
million from Medialink PR Data Corporation ("PR Data"), which acquired the
assets of PR Data Systems, Inc. in July, 1996. In addition, included in
production and live broadcast revenue is $620,000 from Medialink Corporate
Television which acquired certain assets of Corporate TV Group, Inc. on June 16,
1997. In addition to theses acquisitions, Medialink believes that the increased
revenue resulted from the growth of its sales and marketing team and its ability
to provide clients with a broader array of services as part of its four-part
growth strategy.

   That strategy includes the development of new services, leveraging
Medialink's existing client base through the cross-marketing of its services,
geographic expansion and growth through acquisitions and strategic alliances. In
the June 1997 Period, Medialink introduced an exclusive Spanish-language radio,
Radio Noticias, for the distribution of audio news releases and radio media
tours. In addition, Medialink signed an exclusive agreement with ABC Radio for
the transmission of text advisories of Medialink radio projects to more than
1,000 radio newsrooms via the ABC Radio Newswire.

   Direct costs grew by $1.01 million, or 31.5%, from $3.21 million in the June
1996 Period to $4.22 million in the June 1997 Period. Direct costs as a
percentage of revenue decreased from 43.2% of revenue for the June 1996 Period
to 38.1% for the June 1997 Period mainly as a result of improved margins on
Medialink's distribution and production services.

   General and administrative expenses increased by $1.95 million or 57.4%, from
$3.40 million in the June 1996 Period to $5.35 million in the June 1997 Period.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from
45.8% for the June 1996 Period to 48.4% for the June 1997 Period. Salary-related
costs increased by $1.49 million in the June 1997 Period, $600,000 of which was
a result of the acquisition of PR Data Systems, Inc. in July, 1996. The balance
of the increase was primarily due to the growth of Medialink's sales and
operations staff in response to increased demand for its services.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS - continued

   Depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in general and
administrative expenses, increased by $150,000 or 172.9%, from $87,000 in
the June 1996 Period to $230,000 in the June 1997 Period. The increase was

primarily due to amortization expense arising from the acquisitions of PR Data
Systems, Inc. in July, 1996 and Corporate TV Group, Inc. in June, 1997.

   As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $670,000, or
81.4%, from $820,000 for the June 1996 Period to $1.49 million for the June
1997 Period. As a percentage of revenue, operating income for the June 1997
Period was 13.5% as compared with 11.1% for the June 1996 Period.

   Interest and other income net of interest expense increased by $200,000
from $13,000 for the June 1996 Period to $210,000 for the June 1997 Period.
Of this increase, $230,000 resulted from the investment of the net proceeds
of $15.6 million from Medialink's initial public offering which was completed in
February 1997, after underwriting discounts and offering costs. The proceeds are
invested in short-term investments and money-market funds. In addition,
Medialink incurred $44,000 of interest expense during the June 1997 Period as 
a result of obligations incurred as part of the PR Data acquisition.

   Income tax expense was calculated using Medialink's effective tax rates of
38.0% for the June 1997 Period and 40.8% for the June 1996 Period. The decrease
in the rate reflects the investment of the net proceeds of Medialink's initial
public offering in tax-free municipal securities and other changes in state and
local taxes as a result of differences in income earned in certain
jurisdictions.

   Net income increased by $560,000 or 113.7%, from $500,000 for the June 1996
Period to $1.06 million for the June 1997 Period. Pro forma net income per
common and common share equivalent increased from $0.14 per share for the June
1996 Period to $0.21 per share for the June 1997 Period.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Medialink has financed its operations primarily through cash generated from
operations. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $270,000 for the
June 1997 Period and $470,000 for the June 1996 Period. Capital expenditures
which are primarily incurred to support Medialink's sales and operations were
$250,000 for the June 1997 Period and $290,000 for the June 1996 Period.
Medialink has no capital expenditure plans other than in the ordinary course of
business.

   In June, 1997 Medialink acquired certain assets of Corporate TV Group, Inc.
The initial purchase price of $4 million was paid $3.67 million in cash and
$330,000 in Medialink common stock. Earn-out provisions allow for up to an
additional $6.2 million to be paid based upon certain revenue and profitability
targets over the next five years. Assuming the targets are met, the overall
consideration will be in the form of 80 percent cash and 20 percent in Medialink
common stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - continued


   As at June 30, 1997 Medialink had $12.19 million in cash and short-term
investments as compared with $675,000 as December 31, 1996. The growth in cash
and short-term investments arose primarily because of the net proceeds of $15.6
million from Medialink's initial public offering, less the costs of the
acquisition of Corporate TV Group, Inc. As at June 30, 1997, long-term debt and
commitments under covenants not to compete were $310,000 and $310,000,
respectively, and capital lease commitments were $36,000.

   Medialink believes that it has sufficient capital resources and cash flow
from operations to fund its net cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

   With the exception of the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q,
the matters described herein contain forward-looking statements that are made
pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve various risks and may cause actual
results to differ materially. These risks include, but are not limited to, the
ability of Medialink to grow internally or by acquisition, and to integrate
acquired businesses, changing industry and competitive conditions, and other
risks outside the control of Medialink referred to in its registration statement
and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
