ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Medialink Worldwide Incorporated ("Medialink") is the global leader in providing
comprehensive and compelling multi-media communication solutions and services
for more than 3,000 corporations and other organizations seeking to communicate
news to their audiences through television, radio, print and the Internet. The
company provides creative production and satellite distribution of video and
audio news to more than 1,000 television stations worldwide and to more than
2,500 radio stations. Additionally, the Company provides press release newswire
distribution and photography production and digital distribution to more than
1,000 newspapers, magazines and wire services bureaus and to more than 6,500
Internet news sites through its Newstream.com joint venture. Medialink also
offers its clientele multi-media webcasting services and strategic corporate
communications consulting. Furthermore, Medialink provides media monitoring,
analysis and public relations research to help clients determine the
effectiveness and return on investment of their communications efforts.
The Company seeks to capitalize on the growing demand for the services related
to the production, distribution and analysis of video, audio and print news
content, without assuming the ownership risk of operating any specific
television or radio stations. The primary users of the Company's services are
corporations, public relations agencies, advertising agencies and other
organizations that generally choose to outsource such services, due to the
sporadic demand of any single service and the high fixed costs associated with
the production and distribution of the services.

comprehensive and compelling multi-media communication solutions and services.
The key components of the Company's growth strategy include:
o Developing New Value-Added Services - Combine in-house expertise with
expanded design, consulting, and creative capabilities to deliver a
broader range of services, including expansion of monitoring technology,
research and providing creative streaming media solutions.
o Leverage Its Existing Client Base - Expand top-line growth through

o Expand Geographically - Aggressively expand its international sales force
and production capabilities to increase customer base.

The Company began offering production - in addition to distribution - of video
news releases in 1994 and has since developed a full range of video, audio,
Internet, still photography and print services which it now provides on a global
basis. Medialink enables its clients to reach more than 3,500 newsrooms at
television and radio networks, local stations, cable channels, direct broadcast
satellite systems, as well as more than 6,500 online multimedia newsrooms.
The Company's expanded service offerings have evolved from its core business -
the satellite distribution of video news releases ("VNR") and the electronic
monitoring of their broadcasts on television. A VNR is a television news story
that carefully communicates an entity's public relations or corporate message.
It is paid for by the corporation or organization seeking to announce news and
is delivered without charge to the media. Ultimately, a VNR is the television
equivalent of a printed press release, transforming the printed word into the
sound and pictures television newsrooms can immediately use in programming.
Produced in broadcast news style, VNRs relay the news of a product launch,
medical discovery, corporate merger event, timely feature or breaking news
directly to television news decision-makers who may use the video and audio
material in full or edited form. Most major television stations in the world now
use VNRs, some on a regular basis. The Company offers VNR and Audio News Release
("ANR") production services worldwide. Working closely with clients, Medialink's
team of highly experienced broadcast and network radio professionals instantly
translates clients' messages into effective video or audio news stories. All
aspects of production, including scripting, editing,
2
narration and sound bites of the news story are custom-built and designed to
reach specifically targeted audiences.
The Company also produces and coordinates live broadcast services include
Satellite Media Tours ("SMT"), Radio Media Tours ("RMT"), audio and video news
conferences and special-event broadcasts. SMTs consist of a sequence of
one-on-one satellite interviews with a series of pre-booked television reporters
across the country or around the world. Typical SMT applications include, among
others, an interview with an author, performer, executive or other spokesperson
promoting an upcoming event, product, movie or book release. SMTs generally are
conducted from a studio but can originate from remote locations and may be aired
live by the television station or recorded for a later airing. Similar to SMTs,
Medialink offers RMTs targeted to radio stations across the country or around
the world.
The acceptance of digital audio and video media is driving the next Internet
evolution. Companies are seeking to leverage the Internet by creating content
rich Web destinations while controlling overhead and production costs. In 1999,
Medialink created Newstream.com, a joint venture with Business Wire, a leading
distributor of text-based press releases. Newstream.com delivers multimedia
assets to more than 6,500 online news and information Web sites that
increasingly need streaming video, audio, presentations, and graphics to be
competitive. During its first year of operations, Newstream.com experienced
strong growth. Newstream.com's activities reached its highest levels during the
fourth quarter of 2000 with a 37% increase in project activity over its third
quarter. Some of the clients utilizing Newstream.com include 20th Century Fox,
American Express, AOL/TimeWarner and General Motors. By the end of 2000,
Newstream.com had approximately 27,000 registered users, including 11,000 online
journalists from among the more than 6,500 newsrooms worldwide.
As webcasting continues to gain momentum throughout the communications industry,
Medialink has expanded the capabilities of its live webcasting services.
Medialink provides production, distribution and tracking of live events on the
Web. In tandem with traditional satellite videoconferences or as Web-only
events, these webcasts link companies to their clients, consumers, shareholders,
employees or other crucial audiences live. Medialink also provides creative
counseling to help clients design special web pages and to promote their
activities effectively. The Company has produced live webcasts ranging from
product launches and press conferences to merger announcements and internal
seminars for a number of clients, including Dell Computer Corporation, Boeing,
Pearson, Diageo, Kellogg Company, Ford Motor Company, Bell Atlantic, Datek,
Radio Shack, Ford Motor Company and Toyota.
In November 1998, Medialink expanded its United Kingdom still photography
service into the United States through the acquisition of WirePix, a New
York-based public relations photo service. The Company's clients have included
corporations such as Hasbro, Colgate-Palmolive, Compaq Computer Corporation and
McDonald's. Public relations firms such as Burson-Marstellar, Cohn & Wolfe,
Fleishman Hillard and Manning Selvage & Lee have also engaged WirePix's
services.
In late 1999, the Company acquired U.S. Newswire LLC. U.S. Newswire, founded in
1986, is a leader in providing satellite wire service, Internet and online
distribution of full-text and multimedia news for government and public policy
news sources to news media and online services - locally, nationally and
worldwide. Clients include The White House, Cabinet agencies
3
and the majority of political campaigns, advocacy groups, trade associations,
think tanks, public affairs firms and other similar organizations.
The Company continues to diversify its service offerings, and in 1999, the
Company accelerated development of its research group by acquiring the Delahaye
Group, a leading public relations and media analysis firm. During 2000, the
Company successfully integrated it with its own research operations. The new
research team has emerged as a leader in helping corporations and organizations
around the world communicate more efficiently and effectively. By providing
media monitoring, analysis, and public relations research, Medialink helps
corporations determine return on investment from their communications efforts.
Contributing to the group's growth were the Company's previous investments in
Infotrend, NewsIQ and Total News Tracking, a service of Medialink and Northern
Light Technologies.
CLIENTS
The Company provides its services to more than 3,000 clients. The Company's
clients include corporations such as AT&T, General Motors, IBM, Johnson &
Johnson, Dell Computer, Intel, Disney, British Airways, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals,
Philip Morris Incorporated, Kraft Foods, Miller Brewing, adidas, Bayer, BP,
Diageo, DTI, Ford Motor Company, Jaguar, Pearson, Ericsson, Sony and Novartis;

Newspath, Fox NewsEdge, The Associated Press, The Press Association of the
United Kingdom, ABC Radio and Yahoo.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 Company's financial statements and
the following management's discussion and analysis include the combined results
of operations, financial position and cash flows as though Delahaye was part of
Medialink for all periods presented.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a charge to operating
expenses in the first quarter of 1999 of approximately $350,000 for direct and
other acquisition-related costs pertaining to the transaction. Also, net income
for the year ended December 31, 1998 included a non-recurring non-cash charge on
the financial statements of Delahaye of approximately $450,000 ($266,000, net of
applicable income taxes) which represented a compensation charge related to
certain employee stock options issued by Delahaye.
Fiscal Year 2000 as Compared to Fiscal Year 1999
Revenues increased by $11.86 million, or 27%, from $44.61 million in 1999 to
$56.47 million in 2000. Revenues from distribution services increased by $3.10
million, from production and live broadcast services $3.35 million, from
Internet services $2.65 million and from research $2.76 million.
Direct costs increased by $5.18 million, or 34%, from $15.34 million in 1999 to
$20.52 million in 2000. Direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 36% and
34%, respectively, in 2000 and 1999. The decrease in the gross profit percentage
in 2000 was primarily as a result of the service mix. The Company's revenue from
internet services, which generally have lower gross margins, than its other
services, contributed 10% of revenue in 2000 as compared with 7% in 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.50 million or 21%,
from $25.93 million in 1999 to $31.43 million in 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 58% and 56% for 2000
and 1999, respectively. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the
Company's salary costs, which increased by $2.84 million in 2000. Expanded
investments in NewsIQ, Infotrend and Total News Tracking as well as the
development and construction of new state-of-the-art editing and broadcast
facilities in New York and London, contributed to the increase in selling,
general and administrative costs. The Company believes that revenue generated
from these investments as well as their reduction in costs will have an
accretive effect on the Company's future results of operations.
As a result of the above, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $863,000, or 16%, from $5.48 million in
1999 to $6.35 million in 2000. The increase includes an increase in the loss
from the Company's joint venture of $845,000. As a percentage of revenue, EBITDA
in 2000 was 11% as compared with 12% in 1999.
Depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses, increased by $530,000, or 22%, from $2.36 million in
1999 to $2.89 million in 2000. The increase was primarily due to amortization
expense of intangible assets arising from earn-out payments made during the
year.
7
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (continued)
As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $334,000, or 11%,
from $3.12 million in 1999 to $3.45 million in 2000. For the period from January
1, 2000 through September 30, 2000 the Company experienced strong growth in
operating income, however due to the economic slow down, revenue growth in the
4th quarter slowed reducing operating income. The increase in operating income
includes an increase in the loss from joint venture of $845,000, as well as
increased investments in NewsIQ, Infotrend, Total News Tracking and new
state-of-art editing and broadcast facilities. As a percentage of revenue,
operating income in 2000 was 6% as compared with 7% in 1999.
Interest income, net of interest expense decreased by $141,000 from $220,000 in
1999 to $79,000 in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the Company
maintaining lower average 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 is mainly the result of lower
tax free interest earned during 2000 as compared to 1999.
Net income increased by $64,000 or 3%, from $1.99 million in 1999 to $2.06
million in 2000. Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.01 or 3% from $0.34
per share in 1999 to $0.35 per share in 2000.
Fiscal Year 1999 as Compared to Fiscal Year 1998
Revenues increased by $1.10 million, or 3%, from $43.51 million in 1998 to
$44.61 million in 1999. Revenues from distribution services increased by
$410,000, from production services $1.75 million and from research services
$490,000. Revenues from live broadcast services decreased by $1.54 million,
primarily as a result of the shift from broadcast quality video conferences to
lower-priced webcasts. Medialink believes that this shift to webcasting will
continue, but that the volume of webcasting projects in the future will offset
the significantly lower price per project of webcasting as compared with video
conferences.
Direct costs decreased by $590,000, or 4%, from $15.93 million in 1998 to $15.34
million in 1999. Direct costs as a percentage of revenue was 34% and 37%,
respectively, in 1999 and 1998. The improvement in gross profit margin in 1999
was primarily as a result of the more favorable service mix. The Company's
distribution and research services which have a higher gross margin than its
other services contributed 56% of revenue in 1999 as compared with 55% in 1998.
In addition, gross margins improved on the Company's production services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, which include the Company's
personnel costs, increased by $2.55 million or 11%, from $23.38 million in 1998
to $25.92 million in 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 58% and 54% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs, which increased by
$2.34 million in 1999 and also the Company's accelerated investments in
Newstream.com (a service for distributing clients' news to online newsrooms),
Teletrax and NewsIQ.
As a result of the above, EBITDA decreased by $629,000, or 10%, from $6.11
million in 1998 to $5.48 million in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, EBITDA in
1999 was 12% as compared with 14% in 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses, increased by $461,000, or 24%, from $1.90 million in
1998 to $2.36 million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to amortization
expense of intangible assets arising from the Company's various acquisitions.
As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased by $1.09 million, or
26%, from $4.21 million in 1998 to $3.12 million in 1999. As a percentage of
revenue, operating income in 1999 was 7% as compared with 10% in 1998.
Interest income, net of interest expense decreased by $118,000 from $338,000 in
1998 to $220,000 in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to the Company
maintaining lower average balances in cash and cash equivalents in 1999 as
compared to 1998, less the decrease in interest expense resulting from the
pay-off of various debt balances in March 1999.
Income tax expense was calculated using Medialink's effective tax rates of 40%
in 1999 and 49% in 1998. The decrease in the rate reflects the acquisition of
Delahaye which was accounted for as a pooling. Through March 12, 1999, Delahaye
was treated as an S-Corporation for tax purposes, and all profits and losses
flowed directly to the shareholder. For 1998 Delahaye had a net loss of
approximately $990,000 for which the Company received no tax benefit.
Net income decreased by $342,000 or 15%, from $2.33 million in 1998 to $1.99
million in 1999. Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.05 or 13% from $0.39
per share in 1998 to $0.34 per share in 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Medialink has financed its operations primarily through cash generated from
operations. Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $5.61 million
and $333,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Capital expenditures which are
primarily incurred to support Medialink's sales and operations were $3.16
million in 2000 and $1.42 million in 1999. Capital expenditures during 2000
include approximately $1.50 million for the build-out and equipment purchases
for our New York offices, which include the construction of our new
state-of-the-art editing and broadcast facility. The Company believes that the
additional revenues generated and costs saved from this investment will make it
accretive to earnings. Medialink has no capital expenditure plans other than in
the ordinary course of business.
On August 1, 1999 the Company entered into a joint venture with Business Wire to
form Business Wire/Medialink, LLC, doing business as Newstream.com. Each member
made an initial capital contribution of $2.00 million, plus acquisition costs.
The Company accounts for its interest in Newstream.com under the equity method.
During 2000 the Company also made various earn-out payments on acquisitions
aggregating $2.79 million in cash.
During July 1998 the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of
Tempest T.V. Limited, d/b/a The London Bureau ("The London Bureau"). The initial
purchase price of (pound)1.00 million (approximately $1.65 million) was paid in
the form of (pound)655,000 (approximately $1.07 million) in cash and the
issuance of 31,206 shares of the Company's common stock valued at approximately
(pound)380,000 (approximately $628,000). Earn-out provisions allowed for
additional payments of purchase price of up to approximately (pound)2.80 million
(approximately $4.61 million), based on certain revenue and profitability goals
of the International Division of Medialink, to be

OF OPERATIONS (continued)
paid over a period of three years. In connection with this acquisition two of
the shareholders of The London Bureau entered into deeds of covenant not to
compete with the Company with terms of three and four years, respectively. In
consideration for the deeds of covenant not to compete, the two shareholders
received payments aggregating approximately $485,000. During the year ended
December 31, 2000 the Company made it's final earn-out payment.
In June 1997 Medialink acquired certain assets of CTV. The initial purchase
price of $4.18 million was paid $3.55 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 cash and Medialink common stock, as specified in the agreement. During
2000 and 1999 Medialink made cash payments of approximately $1.17 million and
$715,000, respectively, as additional consideration for the CTV acquisition.
At December 31, 2000 the maximum future earn-out payments on the above
acquisitions are approximately $3,217,000 ($2,349,000 in the form of cash and
$868,000 in the form of Medialink common stock) through March 2003.
During 1999 the Company entered into a three year line of credit facility with a
financial institution allowing the Company to borrow up to $10 million. At
December 31, 2000 the Company had borrowings on the facility of $2 million.
As at December 31, 2000 Medialink had $3.54 million in cash and cash equivalents
as compared with $3.88 million as at December 31, 1999. As at December 31, 2000,
long-term debt was $256,000.
The Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources, including
availability under its line of credit facility, and cash flow from operations to
fund its net cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Debt
The Company has a $10 million line of credit agreement which exposes the Company
to the risk of earnings or cash flow loss due to changes in market interest
rates. At December 31, 2000, $2 million was outstanding on the line of credit
which has a maturity date of July 2002. The interest rate is based upon the
30-day commercial paper rate (6.55% at December 31, 2000) plus 1.75%. All other
Company debt is fixed-rate and, therefore, does not expose the Company to the
risk of earning or cash flow loss due to changes in market interest rate.
Foreign Operations
In the normal course of business, through its UK operations, the Company is
exposed to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the United States
dollar value of its foreign subsidiaries' results of operations and financial
condition. At December 31, 2000, the Company's primary foreign currency market
exposure was the British pound.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
With the exception of the historical information contained in this Form 10-K,
the matters described herein may 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.
EFFECTS OF NEWLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133
established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
activities. During June 1999, SFAS No. 137 was issued which delayed the
effective date of SFAS No. 133 to January 1, 2001. The Company believes that the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had, nor does the Company anticipate it having, a significant
impact on the Company's current and future operations.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors
Medialink Worldwide Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Medialink
Worldwide Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Medialink Worldwide
Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year

MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Medialink Worldwide Incorporated (the "Company") is a provider of worldwide
video and audio production and distribution services and public relations
research services for businesses and other organizations that seek to
communicate and evaluate their news through television, radio, the Internet and
other media. The Company, a Delaware corporation formed on September 24, 1986,
is headquartered in New York with offices in the United States and the United
Kingdom.
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 was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, all of
the Company's prior period consolidated financial statements have been restated
to include the combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows
of Delahaye for all periods presented.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medialink
Worldwide Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue earned from the distribution and monitoring of video news releases and
the distribution of printed news releases is recognized in the period that the
release is distributed. Fees earned for webcasts, satellite media tours and
other live events and the production of video news releases and still
photographs are recognized in the period that the services are performed. Fees
earned from research services are recognized using the percentage of completion
method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful
life of the asset. The following estimated useful lives are used for financial
statement purposes:
Office equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years
Leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years
F-6
MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Intangible Assets
Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price paid by the Company
over the fair market value of net assets acquired in a business acquisition
accounted for under the purchase method, is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the estimated future period of benefit, which ranges from 10 to 20
years. Other intangible assets, including customer lists and covenants not to
compete, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
agreement or the estimated future period of benefit, which ranges from 3 to 7
1/2 years.
The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the cost of its goodwill
and intangible assets based upon estimated future profitability of the related
operating entities. The agreements pursuant to which the Company acquired
certain companies include provisions that could require the Company to issue
additional cash or shares of common stock if certain performance targets are
met. The value of any such additional consideration will be added to the
goodwill related to such acquisition and amortized over the remainder of that
goodwill's useful life.
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, including goodwill, are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the
fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of
the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Major Customers
Revenues from one customer amounted to approximately 11% and 16% of total
revenues in 1999 and 1998, respectively. No customer amounted to 10% or more in
2000.
Investments in Affiliates
The Company accounts for its investments in affiliates in which it owns greater
than 20% of the voting stock and possesses significant influence under the
equity method.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's UK
subsidiaries and bureau are measured using local currency as the functional
currency. Assets and liabilities of the entities have been translated at
exchange rates on the balance sheet date, and related revenue and expenses have
been translated at average monthly exchange rates. The aggregate effect of
translation adjustments is reflected as a separate component of shareholders'
equity until there is a sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign
investment.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
F-7
MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 which allows entities to
continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if
the fair-value-based method, as defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The
Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 and provide the pro
forma disclosure required by SFAS No. 123 (See Note 7).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate fair value as
the effective rates for these instruments are comparable to market rates at
year-end. The estimated fair value of debt is based on borrowing rates currently
available with similar terms.
Reclassifications
For comparability, certain 1999 and 1998 amounts have been reclassified, where
appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2000.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable
to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or
conversion of securities to common stock. Weighted average shares outstanding
used for computing EPS for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are
as follows:
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding 2000 1999 1998

3. Business Transactions
(a) Acquisitions
On June 16, 1997 the Company acquired certain assets of Corporate TV Group, Inc.
("CTV"), a provider of strategic video communications to corporations and other
organizations for internal and external audiences. As consideration for the
purchase, the Company paid $3.55 million in cash and issued 37,037 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $333,333. Earn-out provisions allow for up to
an additional $6.2 million to be paid based upon certain revenue and
profitability targets through 2002. Assuming the targets are met, the additional
consideration will be paid in the form of cash and the Company's common stock,
as specified in the agreement. Through December 31, 2000 approximately $4.09
million of additional consideration has been recorded under the earn-out
provision. Additionally, in connection with this acquisition, the Company paid
$300,000 to the stockholder of CTV for a non-compete agreement. This amount has
been recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized using the straight
line method over the term of the agreement.
In July 1998 the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of
Tempest T.V. Limited, d/b/a The London Bureau ("The London Bureau"), a producer
of corporate video for use by British broadcasters. The initial purchase price
of (pound)1.00 million (approximately $1.65 million) was paid in the form of
(pound)655,000 (approximately $1.07 million) in cash and the issuance of 31,206
shares of the Company's common stock valued at approximately (pound)380,000
(approximately $628,000). Earn-out provisions allowed for additional payments of
purchase price of up to approximately (pound)2.80 million (approximately $4.61
million), based on reaching certain revenue and profitability levels of the
International Division of Medialink, to be paid in the form of cash and the
Company's common stock, as specified in the agreement, over a period of three
years. Through December 31, 2000 approximately $1.65 million of additional
consideration has been recorded under the earn-out provision. In connection with
this acquisition two of the shareholders of The London Bureau entered into deeds
of covenant not to compete with the Company with terms of three and four years,
respectively. In consideration for the deeds of covenant not to compete, the two
shareholders received payments aggregating (pound)295,000 (approximately
$485,000). At December 31, 2000 there are no additional earn-out payments due.
During 1999 the Company made various acquisitions in public relations still
photography and news-related companies. As consideration for these purchases,
the Company paid $2.95 million cash and 55,348 shares of the Company's common
stock valued at $800,000. Earn-out provisions allow for additional payments of
purchase price of up to $1.50 million, based on reaching certain profitability
levels, to be paid in the form of cash and the Company's common stock as
specified in the agreement, over a period of three years. In connection with one
of the acquisitions the Company entered into covenants not to compete with two
of the significant shareholders with terms of three years. Two executive
officers of the Company had an interest in one of the acquisitions aggregating
approximately 20%. In order to avoid an apparent conflict of interest, an
independent member of the Board of Directors and an independent employee
negotiated the agreement.
All of the above acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and the results of operations of the acquisitions have been

5 years and $13.06 million have been allocated to goodwill and is being
amortized on a straight line basis over periods ranging from 10 to 20 years.
On March 12, 1999, through a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company acquired 100%
of the outstanding shares of The Delahaye Group, Inc. ("Delahaye") a provider of
public relations and marketing communications research. 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, all of the Company's prior period consolidated financial statements
have been restated to include the combined results of operations, financial
position and cash flows of Delahaye for all periods presented.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a charge to operating
expenses of approximately $350,000 for direct and other acquisition-related
costs relating to the transaction.

price of the Company's common stock at the times of the respective acquisitions.
7. Employee Compensation Plans

may be no less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of
the option grant. The stock options vest over a period of four years and have a
term of ten years. The number of options to be granted and option prices are
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance
with the terms of the plan. The Company has reserved 1,670,808 shares of
authorized common stock for issuance under this plan. As of December 31, 2000

The Company provides a stock option plan for its directors (the "Director Plan")
for the granting of options to non-employee members of the Company's Board of
Directors to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has
reserved 180,000 shares of authorized common stock for the issuance under this
plan. The option price under the Director Plan shall not be less than the fair
market value of such share of common stock on the date of grant. Under the
Director Plan, options issued vest over a three year period and are exercisable
at such times as determined by the Company but no later than 15 years after the
date of the grant.
F-13
MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Under the Director Plan options to purchase 28,000 shares at exercise prices
ranging between $7.25 and $8.06, 18,000 shares at the exercise price of $16.50
and 25,000 shares at exercise prices of $13.25 and $19.38 were issued during
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These options expire 10 years from the date
of grant; however, upon termination of board membership of any director, the
options will expire 12 months after the termination date, but no later than the
expiration date. Non-employee directors are also eligible for additional grants
of 3,000 shares per year provided they continue to serve the Company in that
capacity. Such future grants would become exercisable over a three-year period.
Under this plan, at December 31, 2000, 109,333 shares were exercisable at prices
ranging from of $3.54 to $19.38 per share.
If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost at the grant date,
based on the fair value of the options granted, in 2000, 1999 and 1998, as
prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 would approximate the pro forma
amounts as indicated below:
For the year ended December 31,

Diluted EPS - as reported .35 .34 .39

The fair value of each grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes Options
Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all
grants, expected volatility of 89% in 2000, 53% for 1999 grants and 57% for 1998
grants, risk free interest rates of 6.55% for 2000, 6.30% for 1999 and 6.00% for
1998 grants and expected lives of 5 years for 2000 and 1999 grants and 9 years
for 1998 grants.

MEDIALINK WORLDWIDE INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future table income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the historical taxable
income and projections for future taxable income over the periods that the
deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than
not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
