APPLIED GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER 2005 GROWTH
AGT products account for more than 20% of revenue during the quarter

Rockledge, FL - August 9, 2005 - Applied Global Technologies, proven experts in IP collaboration technologies and solutions, reports a 25% year-over-year increase in net revenue contribution for the quarter ending June 30, 2005. Net income increased nearly three fold over the same period.

"Our proprietary technology and solutions distinguish AGT from other managed service providers, many of whom offer only remote help desk support or bodies on site with little to no added value," stated Mike Valletutti, chairman and chief executive officer, Applied Global Technologies. "We are the only managed services provider that delivers High Touch services as well as On Demand video conferencing services with VIDEO PRESENTER."

AGT's products accounted for more than 20% of revenue in the quarter, driven by orders for its' Blended Learning solution. This solution combines the multi-classroom video and data presentation application of VIDEO PRESENTER™ with Encompass™, a tool that allows teachers to observe student advancement through a single user interface. Encompass also empowers the teacher to take control of student PCs for the purpose of leading them through an exercise and identifying student problem areas for timely correction. Revenue from Blended Learning exceeded $1.2 million for the quarter.

One component of AGT's Managed Services, known as VNMS, combines award-winning on-site and remote technical support with AGT's proprietary technology. This area of the business grew 27% year-over-year, accounting for approximately 20% of total revenue in the second quarter. In addition, Applied Global's AV business, which designs and integrates world-class conference rooms, training rooms and auditoriums, more than doubled in size, to $2.3 million for the quarter.

"AGT has shown solid growth in all key business areas for the first half of 2005," reported Harry Ericson, chief financial officer, Applied Global Technologies. "These businesses each contributed to improved gross margin, allowing the company to invest in strategic growth areas - research & development and sales & marketing - and still produce a strong bottom line. The Company is positioned for increased growth in revenue and profitability as our recently-introduced products go mainstream and new products are poised for release."

AGT continued to invest over 5% of revenue in R&D in the second quarter, advancing the capabilities of its products. They include VIDEO PRESENTER™, FATHOM™ (named Communications Solutions Product of the Year for 2004), VIDEO EVENTS™, VIDEO ANALYST™ and the NEXUS Collaboration Reporter™. AGT's Research & Development team are working on some new conferencing products which will be announced this quarter.
