"Company" or "Medialink"), 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

condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 1999.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein

MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to three months ended March 31, 1999

On March 12, 1999, through a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company acquired 100%
of the outstanding shares of The Delahaye Group, Inc. ("Delahaye"). The
acquisition, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests, was completed
through the issuance of 185,666 shares of Medialink common stock valued at
approximately $2,800,000. Accordingly, the following management discussion and
analysis includes the combined results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows as though Delahaye had always been part of Medialink for all periods
presented.

Revenues increased by $3.52 million, or 36%, from $9.90 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1999 ("1999") to $13.42 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 ("2000"). This increase represented increases in production and
live broadcast services of $927,000, internet services, which increased by
$950,000, distribution services, which increased by $1.13 million and research
and other services, which increased by $508,000.

Direct costs increased by $1.86 million, or 59%, from $3.14 million in 1999 to
$5.01 million in 2000. Direct costs as a percentage of revenue increased from
32% in 1999 to 37% in 2000 mainly as a result of the increase in the proportion
of revenue from internet services and production and live broadcast services to
total revenue in 2000 as compared to 1999. Revenue on these projects generally
have lower gross profit margins as compared with revenue on distribution and
research services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.70 million or 29%,
from $5.94 million in 1999 to $7.64 million in 2000. Included in the increase
were costs related to Medialink's various investments including Newstream, a
joint venture, Teletrax and NewsIQ. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues were 57% and 60% for 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1999 included approximately
$350,000 of costs relating to the acquisition of Delahaye.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased by $87,000, or 6%, from $1.39 million in 1999 to $1.48 million in
2000. As a percentage of revenue, EBITDA was 11% and 14% in 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The decrease is represented by the increase in revenue from
internet, live broadcast and production services as a percentage of total
revenue from 1999 to 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in general and
administrative expenses, increased by $130,000, or 23%, from $573,000 in 1999 to
$702,000 in 2000. The increase was due primarily to amortization expense arising
from Medialink's various acquisitions.

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



As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased by $44,000, or 5%, from
$816,000 in 1999 to $772,000 in 2000. As a percentage of revenue, operating
income was 6% and 8% in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Interest and other income, net, decreased by $43,000 from $70,000 in 1999 to
$27,000 in 2000 as a result of lower balances in cash and cash equivalents in
2000 as compared to 1999.

Income tax expense was calculated using Medialink's effective tax rates of 42%
in 2000 and 40% in 1999. The increase in the rate reflects changes in state and
local taxes as a result of differences in income earned in certain jurisdictions
and the change in the proportion of tax-free investment income on investments to
total income before taxes.

Net income decreased by $68,000 or 13%, from $535,000 in 1999 to $467,000 in
2000. Diluted earnings per share was $0.08 and $0.09 per share in 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Medialink has financed its operations primarily through cash generated from
operations. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $792,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000 and $911,000 for the comparable period
in 1999. Capital expenditures which are primarily incurred to support the
Company's sales and operations were $301,000 in 2000 and $238,000 in 1999.
Medialink has no capital expenditure plans other than in the ordinary course of
business. Cash flows related to investment in joint venture and the Company's
various acquisitions amounted to $302,000 and $574,000 in 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

As of March 31, 2000 Medialink had $2.07 million in cash and cash equivalents as
compared to $3.88 million as of December 31, 1999. The decrease included the
repayment of $2.00 million of the Company's line of credit balance. As of March
31, 2000 long-term debt was $150,000.

The Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources, including $10.00
million available under its line of credit facility, and cash flow from
operations to fund its net cash needs for at least the next twelve months,
including those related to the above-mentioned acquisitions.
