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

adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction

The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", beginning with
the Company's fourth quarter of 1997. All prior period earnings per share
data has been restated to conform to the provisions of this statement.
Basic earnings per common share is computed using net income applicable
to common stock and the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares
attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock. 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 1997 diluted calculation as if they were
outstanding for all of 1997. The weighted average number of shares for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to three months ended March
31, 1997

Revenues increased by $4.49 million, or 102%, from $4.42 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1997 ("1997") to $8.91 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1998 ("1998"), primarily due to increased sales of
production services, which increased by $2.56 million, distribution
services, which increased by $1.31 million and live broadcast services
which increased by $576,000. Included in the increase of production and
live broadcast services revenue above is revenue of approximately $2.87
million from the Medialink Corporate Television Division which acquired
certain assets of Corporate TV Group, Inc. ("CTV") on June 17, 1997. In
addition to this acquisition, 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.

Direct costs increased by $1.94 million, or 115%, from $1.69 million in
1997 to $3.63 million in 1998. Direct costs as a percentage of revenue
increased from 38% of revenue in 1997 to 41% in 1998 mainly as a result
of the increase in the proportion of production and live broadcast
service revenue, which generally have lower gross profit margins as
compared with revenue from distribution services, to total revenue in
1998 as compared to 1997.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.18 million or 95%,
from $2.29 million in 1997 to $4.47 million in 1998. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 50% and 52% for
1998 and 1997, respectively. Salary-related costs increased by $1.26
million in 1998, of which $416,000 was the result of the acquisition of
CTV in June 1997. The balance of the increase was due primarily to the
growth of Medialink's sales and operations staff in response to increased
demand for its services.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased by $642,000, or 120%, from $534,000 in 1997 to $1.18 million in
1998. As a percentage of revenue, EBITDA in 1998 was 13% as compared with
12% in 1997.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in general and
administrative expenses, increased by $286,000, or 329%, from $87,000 in
1997 to $373,000 in 1998. The increase was due primarily to amortization

expense arising from the acquisition of CTV in June, 1997.

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

As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $355,000, or
79%, from $447,000 in 1997 to $802,000 in 1998. As a percentage of
revenue, operating income in 1998 was 9% as compared with 10% in 1997.

Interest and other income, net increased by $48,000 from $67,000 in 1997
to $115,000 in 1998. This increase was primarily due to 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 remaining proceeds are invested in
short-term investments and money-market funds.

Income tax expense was calculated using Medialink's effective tax rates
of 39% in 1998 and 36% in 1997. The increase in the rate reflects changes
in state and local taxes as a result of differences in income earned in
certain jurisdictions.

Net income increased by $229,000 or 70%, from $329,000 in 1997 to
$558,000 in 1998. Diluted earnings per share increased from $0.07 per
share in 1997 to $0.10 per share in 1998.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Medialink has financed its operations primarily through cash generated
from operations. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $1.31
million in 1998 and $253,000 in 1997. Capital expenditures which are
primarily incurred to support the Company's sales and operations were
$413,000 in 1998 and $108,000 in 1997. Medialink has no capital
expenditure plans other than in the ordinary course of business.

In June, 1997 Medialink acquired certain assets of CTV. The initial
purchase price of $4.18 million was paid $3.85 million in cash and
$333,000 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.

As at March 31, 1998 Medialink had $12.38 million in cash and cash
equivalents as compared with $11.58 million as at December 31, 1997. As
at March 31, 1998, long-term debt was $436,000.


The Company 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.

         ITEM 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

         The registrant's initial public offering commenced on January
         29, 1997. The managing underwriters of the offering were Dean
         Witter Reynolds, Inc. and Wheat First Union (formerly, Wheat
         First Butcher Singer). The class of securities registered was
         common stock. The registrant registered 2,000,000 shares, of
         common stock; the aggregate price of the offering amount
         registered was $18,000,000; the amount of shares sold was
         2,000,000; and the aggregate offering price of the amount sold
         was $18,000,000. For the account of selling stockholders, there
         were registered 300,000 shares of common stock; the aggregate
         price of the offering amount registered was $2,700,000; the
