NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the financial statements. The operating results of any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Certain prior-period amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation. 2. TENDER OFFER AND RECAPITALIZATION On August 4, 2003, KAGT Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAGT Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of funds managed by Kohlberg & Co., LLC ("Kohlberg"), completed a tender offer for the Company with 6,081,145 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, or approximately 66% of the total shares outstanding, being validly tendered and accepted for payment. Concurrent with the closing of the tender offer, the Company completed a restructuring and extinguishment of its existing credit facility. The tender offer and the extinguishment of the existing credit facility are part of an overall recapitalization in which the Company also redeemed all of its outstanding subordinated notes and all of the outstanding preference shares of a subsidiary of the Company. KAGT Acquisition Corp. plans to acquire the Company's remaining outstanding shares of common stock through a second-step merger, which is expected to be consummated within the next several months. The overall recapitalization is being funded with $52,000 from KAGT Acquisition Corp., of which $44,200 will initially be subordinated debt of the Company (the "KAGT Note") and all of which will be converted into equity upon completion of the second-step merger, and approximately $72,500 of debt under a new credit facility entered into by the Company with a new lender group. Of the total funding, approximately $97,700 was used to fully repay $176,097 of borrowings outstanding under the Company's old credit facility at the closing of the tender offer, and approximately $7,800 will be paid directly to holders of the Company's common stock by KAGT Acquisition Corp., of which approximately $5,200 was paid upon the closing of the tender offer and approximately $2,600 will be paid upon completion of the second-step merger. The $5,200 that was paid upon the closing of the tender offer was provided to KAGT Acquisition Corp. as equity financing by funds managed by Kohlberg and another investor. In addition, approximately $9,000 was paid to fully redeem the outstanding subordinated notes, including accrued interest, and approximately $6,300 was paid to fully redeem the outstanding preference shares, of which $1,800 is committed to be reinvested in the Company by certain holders of the preference shares in the form of a subordinated note. The remaining funding of $3,700 will be paid to cover fees and expenses of the transaction, including bank fees. Additional fees totaling approximately $4,000, including approximately $3,000 to be paid to Kohlberg, were deferred at the time of the closing of the tender offer and will be paid from working capital or borrowings under the Company's new credit facility. 5 APPLIED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The amounts outstanding at June 30, 2003, for the Company's various obligations impacted by the recapitalization, and the amounts outstanding for such obligations upon the closing of the tender offer and assuming the completion of all transactions contemplated by the recapitalization, including the second-step merger and the conversion of the KAGT Note into equity, are as follows: JUNE 30, AFTER TENDER AFTER 2003 OFFER CLOSING SECOND-STEP MERGER -------- ------------- ------------------ Credit facility debt......................... $175,697 $ 72,469 $70,669 Subordinated notes (including $1,279 of accrued interest).......................... 31,979 -- -- Preference shares issued by subsidiary....... 43,651 -- -- Other subordinated debt...................... -- 44,200 1,800 -------- -------- ------- Total........................................ $251,327 $116,669 $72,469 ======== ======== ======= 3. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation based on the intrinsic value of stock options granted in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Information relating to stock-based employee compensation, including the pro forma effects had the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation based on the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," is as follows: SIX MONTHS ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------- ------------------ 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------- --------- ------- -------- Net income (loss) as reported................. $(1,908) $(340,560) $ 337 $(2,624) Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, included in net income (loss) as reported... -- -- -- -- Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, under fair value method.....................

The amount paid to repurchase each in-the-money stock option was the difference between the price paid per share in connection with the tender offer and the exercise price of such stock option. All remaining stock options were cancelled without further payment. 4. RESTRUCTURING The Company initiated and completed a plan during the second quarter of 2003 (the "2003 Second Quarter Plan") to close its Rochester, New York, facility and move its operations to existing facilities in New York City and Nashua, New Hampshire. In connection with the "2003 Second Quarter Plan" the Company incurred a charge of $99, which consisted of $95 for a lease termination payment, $3 for severance related to the termination of one employee, and $1 for future rental obligations on abandoned equipment. 6 APPLIED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) In addition, the Company initiated various restructuring plans in prior periods (the "2002 Third Quarter Plan," the "2001 Fourth Quarter Plan," the "2001 Second Quarter Plan," the "2000 Second Quarter Plan," and the "1999 Fourth Quarter Plan," respectively) under which it continues to make certain payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company paid $2,454 related to all of its various restructuring plans, and the Company had a liability of $8,229 for the future payments associated with the various restructuring plans as of June 30, 2003. The remaining liability for future payments and the amounts charged against the respective restructuring liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2003, were as follows: 2003 SECOND 2002 THIRD 2001 FOURTH QUARTER PLAN QUARTER PLAN QUARTER PLAN ------------ ------------ ------------ Balance at January 1, 2003....................... $1,725 $ 8,170 Restructuring charge............................. $ 99 Facility closure costs...........................

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In connection with the sale of the Company's publishing business in April 2002, a portion of the proceeds were originally held in escrow under the terms of the sale to satisfy any claims related to contractual warranties. The Company received $500 from the escrow in November 2002, and received the remaining $1,534 in April 2003. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized $1,534 of income from discontinued operations from the reversal of liabilities originally established to cover such contingencies. 6. INVENTORY The components of inventory were as follows: JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, 2003 2002 -------- ------------ Work-in-process............................................. $17,059 $14,554 Raw materials............................................... 1,442 2,054 ------- ------- Total....................................................... $18,501 $16,608 ======= ======= 7 APPLIED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 7. LONG TERM DEBT In April 2003, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") that extended the maturity of the credit facility through April 2004. As part of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company agreed that the failure of the Company and its senior lenders to consummate a restructuring or recapitalization on or before July 15, 2003, would constitute an event of default. In July 2003, the Company and its senior lenders entered into amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement extending the deadline for the restructuring or recapitalization to July 31, 2003. On August 4, 2003, in connection with the tender offer and the recapitalization (see Note 2 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company settled all amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, which totaled $176,097, and entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a new lender group that matures in August 2008 (the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement provides for two term loans totaling $22,000 and $27,000 ("Term Loan A" and "Term Loan B," respectively) and a revolving credit line with a maximum availability of $58,000, subject to a borrowing base limitation based on receivables. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement will be secured by all of the receivables, inventory, and real and personal property of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The interest rate on funds borrowed under the revolving credit line of the Loan Agreement is either LIBOR plus 3.00% or the prime rate plus 1.50%. The interest rates on Term Loan A and Term Loan B are the prime rate plus 2.00% and 8.25%, respectively. Initial borrowings on August 4, 2003, under the Loan Agreement totaled $72,469, a portion of which were used to partially settle the amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. The non-current portion of the amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement are therefore reflected as non-current in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2003. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company will have to comply with certain quarterly covenants related to minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), fixed charge ratios, leverage ratios, and capital spending. 8. DERIVATIVES The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was a net loss of $279 and $1,954 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company recognized as a component of interest expense a non-cash benefit of $1,088 and $63 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and a non-cash benefit of $586 and a non-cash charge of $289 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which consisted of the following: SIX MONTHS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ENDED JUNE 30, --------------- -------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------- ----- ------ ----- Change in fair market value of swaps not designated as hedges......................................... $(1,124) $(281) $(586) $181 Reclassification of loss in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)"...................... 33 198 99 Reclassification of cumulative effect recorded upon adoption of SFAS No. 133.......................... 3 20 9 ------- ----- ----- ---- Total charge (benefit).............................. $(1,088) $ (63) $(586) $289 ======= ===== ===== ==== 8 APPLIED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective for periods ending after December 15, 2002, and the recognition criteria of FIN 45 were effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the recognition criteria of FIN 45 on January 1, 10 APPLIED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2003. The adoption of the recognition criteria of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," was issued in May 2003, and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, or at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for reporting and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. 13. LITIGATION As previously reported, Kmart Corporation ("Kmart") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on January 22, 2002, with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Meridian Retail, Inc. ("Meridian"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a provider of services to Kmart. On January 25, 2002, Kmart obtained an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing it to pay pre-Chapter 11 amounts to designated categories of vendors whom Kmart deemed critical (the "Critical Vendor Order"). Pursuant to the Critical Vendor Order, Meridian was paid substantially all of its accounts receivable for services rendered to Kmart prior to its bankruptcy filing. By a decision dated April 8, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court") reversed the Critical Vendor Order as it applies to all of Kmart's critical vendors. Kmart has appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. On May 5, 2003, Kmart filed a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court against Meridian, which was amended on June 27, 2003, to include the Company as a defendant, claiming that Kmart did not intend to treat Meridian as a critical vendor and that Meridian was erroneously paid approximately $10,800 as a critical vendor in the postpetition period. Kmart's complaint also refers to the District Court's reversal of the Critical Vendor Order. In addition, Kmart's complaint alleges that virtually all payments received by Meridian during the ninety days preceding Kmart's bankruptcy filing totaling approximately $13,200 are recoverable as preferential payments under the applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, Kmart is seeking to recover amounts totaling approximately $24,000. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously defend its position, although there can be no assurances as to the final outcome of this action. 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are "forward-looking" statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended). Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the ability of the Company to retain customers; the ability of the Company to maintain compliance with the covenant requirements under its credit facility; the ability of the Company to attract and retain management; the impact of technological advancements on the ability of customers and competitors to provide services comparable to those provided by the Company; the continued softness in the advertising market; the impact of geopolitical events on the economy; the success of the Company's restructuring plans and integration efforts; and the adequacy of the Company's credit facility and cash flows to fund cash needs. The following discussion and analysis (in thousands of dollars) should be read in conjunction with the Company's Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management must make certain estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements of the Company. Certain of these estimates and assumptions relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the financial statements of the Company were the most appropriate at that time, although actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different conditions. In assessing the carrying value of goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company compared such carrying value of each of its reporting units to their fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units by applying a multiple to each reporting unit's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, the Company had to make various assumptions, including, but not limited to, projections of each reporting unit's future EBITDA, the fair value of each reporting unit's net assets, and the EBITDA multiple a willing buyer would apply to each reporting unit's EBITDA to determine its fair value. Based on the use of these assumptions in estimating the fair value of each reporting unit, the Company incurred an impairment charge, net of taxes, relating to its goodwill of $327,875 upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Such impairment charge was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. A change in the Company's assumptions, including, but not limited to, higher EBITDA for any reporting unit, lower fair market values of net assets, or a buyer willing to pay more than the assumed EBITDA multiple could result in the goodwill of certain reporting units to have a fair value greater than that estimated. Such an outcome would not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position because under SFAS No. 142 the carrying value of goodwill cannot be increased once it has been impaired. In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, the Company compared the carrying value of its deferred tax assets to the tax-effected projections of its taxable income over future periods in which such assets could be realized. In estimating its future taxable income, the Company had to make various assumptions about its future operating performance, the stability of the markets and customers the Company serves, and the future financial position of the Company. Based on the Company's estimates, a valuation allowance of $17,539 was established against the carrying value of the Company's deferred tax assets at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, resulting in net deferred tax assets of $15,720 at June 30, 2003 and $15,857 at December 31, 2002. A change in the Company's assumptions, including better or worse operating performance than projected, the loss of a significant customer, or a deterioration in the markets served by the Company would result in a change in the amount of deferred tax assets that will be recovered by the 12 Company, and therefore will result in an adjustment to the valuation allowance established at June 30, 2003. Such adjustment, either positive or negative, would be reflected as a component of the Company's provision for income taxes. In assessing the carrying value of its accounts receivable, the Company estimated the recoverability by making assumptions regarding the financial stability of its customers and the validity of any potential claims raised by its customers. Based on the Company's estimates, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $6,200 was established at June 30, 2003, compared to an allowance of $8,273 at December 31, 2002. A change in the Company's assumptions, including the financial stability of the Company's customers, would result in the Company recovering an amount of its accounts receivable that differs from its current carrying value. Such difference, either positive or negative, would be reflected as a component of the Company's selling, general, and administrative expense. In assessing the carrying value of the liabilities associated with its various restructuring efforts, the Company had to estimate the timing and amount of future payments to be made under certain contractual obligations, primarily those relating to building leases. In making such estimates, the Company has to make various assumptions, including but not limited to, the real estate rental market in future periods, the financial stability of the Company's existing subtenants, the willingness of existing subtenants to renew their subleases, and the timing and pricing of any future subleases. Based on the Company's estimates, the carrying value of the Company's restructuring liabilities was $8,229 at June 30, 2003, as compared to $10,585 at December 31, 2002. A change in the Company's assumptions, including, but not limited to, the timing and pricing of any future sublease arrangements, the willingness of existing subtenants to renew their subleases, and the ability of existing subtenants to continue to meet their current obligations would result in the Company paying amounts that differ from the current carrying value of its restructuring liabilities. Such difference, either positive or negative, would be reflected as a restructuring charge or restructuring income. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003, COMPARED WITH 2002 Revenues in the first six months of 2003 were $7,622, or 3.7%, lower than in the comparable period in 2002. Revenues in the 2003 period decreased by $9,464 from content management services and $291 from digital services, and were partially offset by increased revenues of $2,133 from broadcast media distribution services. Decreased revenues from content management services primarily resulted from the continued weakness in the advertising market in the first six months of 2003 that adversely impacted the Company's operations servicing advertising agencies, retailers, and magazine publishers. Increased revenues from broadcast media distribution services resulted from additional volume of premium services provided for which the Company receives higher rates. Gross profit increased by $1,276 in the first six months of 2003. The gross profit percentage in the first six months of 2003 was 33.9% as compared to 32.0% in the 2002 period. The increase in the gross profit percentage primarily resulted from improved operating efficiencies and cost cutting in the Company's content management services business related to the Company's operational restructuring and integration efforts that were completed in the second quarter of 2002. The gross profit percentage also increased due to the additional volume of premium services provided by the Company's broadcast media distribution services. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2003 were $520 lower than in the 2002 period. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased to 30.5% in the 2003 period from 29.7% in the 2002 period. This increase in the percentage was due primarily to additional costs incurred to support the higher volumes of revenue achieved in the latter part of 2002, with such costs not being reduced commensurately with the decline in revenue. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003, include a restructuring charge of $99 related to a plan initiated and completed by the Company during the second quarter of 2003 (the "2003 Second Quarter Plan"). Under the 2003 Second Quarter Plan, the Company closed its Rochester, New York, facility and moved its operations to existing facilities in New York City and Nashua, New Hampshire. The 13 Company terminated one employee as part of the 2003 Second Quarter Plan. The restructuring charge of $99 consisted of $95 for facility closure costs, $3 for employee termination costs, and $1 for future rental obligations on abandoned equipment. Interest expense in the first six months of 2003 was $263 lower than in the 2002 period due primarily to a larger non-cash benefit recognized in the 2003 period related to the accounting for the Company's interest rate swap arrangements, partially offset by $580 of interest allocated to discontinued operations in 2002 with no comparable allocation in 2003 and higher borrowings outstanding and interest rates under the Company's credit facility in the 2003 period. Other expense of $723 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, includes a charge of $923 for costs incurred in connection with the recapitalization of the Company (see Note 2 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). This charge was partially offset by income of $250 associated with the settlement of certain contingent obligations, which were assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Wace Group Limited ("Wace") in May 1999, for amounts less than originally estimated at the time of acquisition. In connection with the sale of the Company's publishing business in April 2002, a portion of the proceeds were originally held in escrow under the terms of the sale to satisfy any claims related to contractual warranties. The Company received $500 from the escrow in November 2002, and received the remaining $1,534 in April 2003. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized $1,534 of income from discontinued operations from the reversal of liabilities originally established to cover such contingencies. Revenues from business transacted with affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, totaled $1,444 and $3,118, respectively, representing 0.7% and 1.5%, respectively, of the Company's revenues. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003, COMPARED WITH 2002 Revenues in the second quarter of 2003 were $6,847, or 6.5%, lower than in the comparable period in 2002. Revenues in the 2003 period decreased by $7,616 from content management services and $194 from digital services, and were partially offset by increased revenues of $963 from broadcast media distribution services. Decreased revenues from content management services primarily resulted from the continued weakness in the advertising market in the second quarter of 2003 that adversely impacted the Company's operations servicing advertising agencies, retailers, and magazine publishers. Increased revenues from broadcast media distribution services resulted from additional volume of premium services provided for which the Company receives higher rates. Gross profit decreased by $649 in the second quarter of 2003. The gross profit percentage in the second quarter of 2003 was 34.3% as compared to 32.7% in the 2002 period. The increase in the gross profit percentage primarily resulted from improved operating efficiencies and cost cutting in the Company's content management services business related to the Company's operational restructuring and integration efforts that were completed in the second quarter of 2002. The gross profit percentage also increased due to the additional volume of premium services provided by the Company's broadcast media distribution services. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2003 were $962 lower than in the 2002 period. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased to 29.4% in the 2003 period from 28.4% in the 2002 period due primarily to additional costs incurred to support the higher volumes of revenue achieved in the latter part of 2002, with such costs not being reduced commensurately with the decline in revenue. The results of operations in the second quarter of 2003 include a restructuring charge of $99 related to the 2003 Second Quarter Plan. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2003 was $451 lower than in the 2002 period due primarily to a larger non-cash benefit recognized in the 2003 period related to the accounting for the Company's interest rate swap arrangements, partially offset by higher borrowings outstanding and interest rates under the Company's credit facility in the 2003 period. 14 Other expense of $729 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, includes a charge of $923 for costs incurred in connection with the recapitalization of the Company (See Note 2 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). This charge was partially offset by income of $250 associated with the settlement of certain contingent obligations, which were assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Wace in May 1999, for amounts less than originally estimated at the time of acquisition. In connection with the sale of the Company's publishing business in April 2002, a portion of the proceeds were originally held in escrow under the terms of the sale to satisfy any claims related to contractual warranties. The Company received $500 from the escrow in November 2002, and received the remaining $1,534 in April 2003. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized $1,534 of income from discontinued operations from the reversal of liabilities originally established to cover such contingencies. Revenues from business transacted with affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, totaled $734 and $1,507, respectively, representing 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively, of the Company's revenues. FINANCIAL CONDITION On August 4, 2003, KAGT Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAGT Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of funds managed by Kohlberg & Co., LLC ("Kohlberg"), completed a tender offer for the Company with 6,081,145 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, or approximately 66% of the total shares outstanding, being validly tendered and accepted for payment. Concurrent with the closing of the tender offer, the Company completed a restructuring and extinguishment of its existing credit facility. The tender offer and the extinguishment of the existing credit facility are part of an overall recapitalization in which the Company also redeemed all of its outstanding subordinated notes and all of the outstanding preference shares of a subsidiary of the Company. KAGT Acquisition Corp. plans to acquire the Company's remaining outstanding shares of common stock through a second-step merger, which is expected to be consummated within the next several months. The overall recapitalization is being funded with $52,000 from KAGT Acquisition Corp., of which $44,200 will initially be subordinated debt of the Company and all of which will be converted into equity upon completion of the second-step merger, and approximately $72,500 of debt under a new credit facility with a new lender group. Of the total funding, approximately $97,700 was used to fully repay $176,097 of borrowings outstanding under the Company's old credit facility at the closing of the tender offer, and approximately $7,800 will be paid directly to holders of the Company's common stock by KAGT Acquisition Corp., of which approximately $5,200 was paid upon the closing of the tender offer and approximately $2,600 will be paid upon completion of the second-step merger. The $5,200 that was paid upon the closing of the tender offer was provided to KAGT Acquisition Corp. as equity financing by funds managed by Kohlberg and another investor. In addition, approximately $9,000 was paid to fully redeem the outstanding subordinated notes, including accrued interest, and approximately $6,300 was paid to fully redeem the outstanding preference shares, of which $1,800 is committed to be reinvested in the Company by certain holders of the preference shares in the form of a subordinated note. The remaining funding of $3,700 will be paid to cover fees and expenses of the transaction, including bank fees. Additional fees totaling approximately $4,000, including approximately $3,000 to be paid to Kohlberg, were deferred at the time of the closing of the tender offer and will be paid from working capital or borrowings under the Loan Agreement. In April 2003, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") that extended the maturity of the credit facility through April 2004. As part of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company agreed that the failure of the Company and its senior lenders to consummate a restructuring or recapitalization on or before July 15, 2003, would constitute an event of default. In July 2003, the Company and its senior lenders entered into amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement extending the deadline for the restructuring or recapitalization to July 31, 2003. On August 4, 2003, in connection with the closing of the tender offer and the recapitalization (see Note 2 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company settled all amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, which totaled $176,097, and entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a new lender group that matures in August 2008 (the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement provides for two term loans totaling $22,000 and $27,000 ("Term Loan A" and "Term Loan B," respectively) and a revolving credit line with a maximum availability of $58,000, subject to a borrowing base limitation based on receivables. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement will be secured by all of the receivables, inventory, and 15 real and personal property of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The interest rate on funds borrowed under the revolving credit line of the Loan Agreement is either LIBOR plus 3.00% or the prime rate plus 1.50%. The interest rates on Term Loan A and Term Loan B are the prime rate plus 2.00% and 8.25%, respectively. As previously disclosed, in connection with the Company's discussions with third parties regarding a recapitalization of the Company, the Company did not pay the semi-annual interest payment on the subordinated notes due on January 31, 2003, until February 28, 2003. Such failure to pay the interest on its initial due date did not constitute an event of default since payment was made by the expiration of a 30-day grace period. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company was required to comply with certain quarterly covenants related to leverage ratios, interest coverage ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios, and capital spending. In addition, the Company was required to satisfy a monthly minimum cumulative EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) covenant. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2003. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company will have to comply with certain quarterly covenants related to minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), fixed charge ratios, leverage ratios, and capital spending. The Company had outstanding two interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $50,000 that were scheduled to expire in August 2003. In connection with the restructuring of its credit facility and the settlement of amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the two interest rate swap agreements and paid $576, which approximated the accrued interest through maturity. Under the swap agreements, the Company paid a fixed rate of 5.798% per annum on a quarterly basis and was paid a floating rate based on the three-month LIBOR rate in effect at the beginning of each quarterly payment period. As previously reported, Kmart Corporation ("Kmart") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on January 22, 2002, with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Meridian Retail, Inc. ("Meridian"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a provider of services to Kmart. On January 25, 2002, Kmart obtained an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing it to pay pre-Chapter 11 amounts to designated categories of vendors whom Kmart deemed critical (the "Critical Vendor Order"). Pursuant to the Critical Vendor Order, Meridian was paid substantially all of its accounts receivable for services rendered to Kmart prior to its bankruptcy filing. By a decision dated April 8, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court") reversed the Critical Vendor Order as it applies to all of Kmart's critical vendors. Kmart has appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. On May 5, 2003, Kmart filed a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court against Meridian, which was amended on June 27, 2003, to include the Company as a defendant, claiming that Kmart did not intend to treat Meridian as a critical vendor and that Meridian was erroneously paid approximately $10,800 as a critical vendor in the postpetition period. Kmart's complaint also refers to the District Court's reversal of the Critical Vendor Order. In addition, Kmart's complaint alleges that virtually all payments received by Meridian during the ninety days preceding Kmart's bankruptcy filing totaling approximately $13,200 are recoverable as preferential payments under the applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, Kmart is seeking to recover amounts totaling approximately $24,000. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously defend its position, although there can be no assurances as to the final outcome of this action. During the first six months of 2003, other non-current assets decreased by $6,425 due primarily to the release of approximately $6,600 from an escrow account that was acquired in connection with the Wace acquisition in May 1999. The escrow account was initially established in connection with a sale of a business to satisfy any potential claims, all of which were satisfied in June 2003 with a payment of approximately $4,800. The remaining balance of approximately $1,800 was received by the Company in June 2003. 16 Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations during the first six months of 2003 decreased by $6,252 as compared to the comparable period in 2002 due primarily to the timing and amounts of payroll-related payments and the timing of vendor payments, partially offset by the cash received from escrow accounts and an increase in cash generated from operations. During the first six months of 2003, the Company repaid $13,526 of term loans, invested $4,628 in facility construction and new equipment, paid $2,780 in debt financing fees, and repaid $333 of notes and capital lease obligations. Such amounts were primarily funded by borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company expects to spend approximately $12,000 over the course of the next twelve months for capital improvements, essentially all of which is for modernization. The Company intends to finance these expenditures under leasing arrangements, with working capital, or with borrowings under its credit facility. The Company believes that the cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity will provide sufficient cash flows to fund its cash needs throughout 2003. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk. The Company had $175,697 outstanding under its credit facility at June 30, 2003. Interest rates on funds borrowed under the Company's credit facility vary based on changes to the prime rate or LIBOR. The Company partially managed its interest rate risk through two interest rate swap agreements under which the Company paid a fixed rate and was paid a floating rate based on the three month LIBOR rate. The notional amounts of the two interest rate swaps totaled $50,000 at June 30, 2003. A change in interest rates of 1.0% would result in a change in income before taxes of $1,257 based on the outstanding balance under the Company's credit facility and the notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2003. On August 4, 2003, in connection with a tender offer and overall recapitalization, the Company settled all amounts outstanding under its credit facility and entered into a new credit facility under which the Company initially borrowed $72,469. In addition, the Company terminated the two interest swap agreements and paid $576, which approximated the accrued interest through maturity. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of June 30, 2003. Based on their evaluation, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2003. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 17 PART II. -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There have been no material developments regarding legal proceedings previously disclosed in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS In April 2003, pursuant to the terms of its credit agreement, the Company issued warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 to its lenders to purchase 453,377 shares of the Company's common stock. Such warrants became exercisable immediately upon their issuance. The issuance of such securities by the Company were effected without registration based on reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for private placements. Such warrants were cancelled in connection with the restructuring and extinguishment of the Company's old credit facility. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES As previously disclosed in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a subsidiary of the Company, Wace Group Limited ("Wace"), is in arrears on the dividend payments related to its 8% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (the "Preference Shares"). Wace had been prohibited from making dividend payments due to its lack of distributable reserves, and had not made a dividend payment since July 1999. The arrearage, which is included as part of "Minority interest" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled approximately $10,607,000 at August 12, 2003. Such arrearage was satisfied as part of the redemption, at a significant discount, of the Preference Shares in August 2003 in connection with a recapitalization of the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS The annual meeting of the stockholders of Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., was held on June 12, 2003. The stockholders voted on the following matter: 1.
