      Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant"), filed this Registration Statement No. 333-76073 to register
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Securities"), of the
Registrant for issuance pursuant to the Applied Graphics Technologies, Inc. 1998
Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended.

     On October 10, 2003, the Registrant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
KAGT Holdings, Inc. following a merger. As a result of the merger, it is
anticipated that the Registrant's Securities will no longer be registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Registrant is
removing the Securities from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
