</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The Alliance Focuses on Eliminating Barriers to Quality Patient Care by
Providing Seamless Information Flow for Digital Healthcare
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHI) and Epic Systems Corporation
announced today that they have signed an agreement to provide enterprise
software, medical imaging and monitoring IT solutions that will integrate
patient information enterprise-wide. This cooperative agreement combines
Epic&#146;s strengths in patient-centric, enterprise-wide healthcare information
systems with Philips strengths in medical imaging, PACS, and patient
monitoring technology.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The alliance will integrate medical equipment with enterprise software across
departments, including at the point of care and will offer the next level of
clinical benefits. This includes a single process for order-entry and
medication administration that will reduce the potential for errors.
Comprehensive management of a patient from diagnosis through treatment will be
driven by a single patient record database across-the-healthcare-continuum.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Epic will exclusively continue to deliver enterprise healthcare IT products to
its traditional market of large healthcare organizations, academic medical
centers, and children&#146;s healthcare systems. Philips will market healthcare IT
products, powered by Epic software, as part of its Vequion family. The
agreement will continue to allow each company to develop and support
interfaces based on open standards with other suppliers that meet their
existing and future customer needs.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;This drives healthcare integration to a higher level and is the next logical
step for Epic,&#148; said Judith R. Faulkner, president and CEO of Epic. &#147;By
dissolving the boundaries between monitoring, imaging, and information
technologies, we will be able to deliver systems that provide better care and
easier workflow. We&#146;ve always wanted to be able to respond to healthcare
organizations outside our traditional market and we&#146;re glad there is now a
solution for them&#148;.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;Our customers are looking for more than new technologies, they are looking
for IT solutions that can share patient information throughout the hospital
consistently,&#148; said Jouko Karvinen, president and CEO, Philips Medical
Systems. &#147;We are delighted to integrate a new version of Epic&#146;s industry
leading software into our Vequion portfolio. This will bring a solid, robust
Philips solution to more hospitals and clinics worldwide.&#148;

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Products from both Epic and Philips are in use at leading healthcare
facilities, including Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, and the Geisinger
Health System in central Pennsylvania.

improve the overall quality in the practice of medicine by delivering

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;We believe that the Epic-Philips partnership will put Epic&#146;s high-quality
software products within reach of more small and mid-sized organizations due
to Philips market position,&#148; said Frank Richards, CIO Geisinger Health System.
&#147;This should help expand the overall adoption of Electronic Medical Records,
which have been cited as important tools for promoting patient safety.&#148;</FONT>

to achieving our goal of 14&nbsp;percent EBITA in 2004, and we&#146;ll keep building on
this profitability as we broaden our role in helping hospitals meet the

<!-- link2 "Philips First to Demonstrate Highest Possible DVD&#043;R Recording Speed" -->
<DIV align="left"><A NAME="005"></A></DIV>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Philips First to Demonstrate Highest Possible DVD&#043;R Recording Speed</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Philips has demonstrated the world&#146;s highest ever recording speed of
recordable DVD (DVD&#043;R) in an experimental set-up built at Philips Research.
The system is able to record 16 times faster (&#145;16x&#146;) than the normal playing
speed of video DVDs, allowing to burn a DVD&#043;R with video or data up to the
maximum capacity in less than 6 minutes. This recording speed is close to the
highest possible speed, which means that this represents the ultimate
performance of any DVD recording system.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The results were presented at the International Symposium on Optical Memory
(ISOM, Nara, Japan, 3-7 November) and received the best-poster award there.
The Philips technology will form the basis for the 16x DVD&#043;R recording
standard to be defined by the DVD&#043;RW Alliance in the course of 2004.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A key aspect in realizing higher recording speeds is the development of a
suitable &#145;writing strategy&#146; &#151; the timing and power of the laser pulses in
such a way that marks (representing digital zeros and ones) of the correct
length are created in the organic dye that forms the active layer of
recordable DVDs. Doing this well becomes increasingly difficult at higher
recording speeds, because the available time to heat up and cool down the dye
at the position of a mark becomes ever shorter. Especially avoiding that
post-heating partly erases a written mark when a neighbouring mark is written
is a challenging task. Philips has developed an efficient write strategy that
not only results in accurate recording results, but in addition needs only a
limited number of parameters to realize it, allowing disc-drive manufacturers
to implement the algorithm in a straightforward manner.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Besides the write strategy, improvements on the recorder set-up were needed to
realize recording at 16x speed. Especially the design of an accurate and
stable system for tracking and focusing the laser beam to the right position
on the disc was challenging. Another demanding task was the development of
fast laser driving electronics, which runs at a 420 MHz clock at 16x DVD
speed. Last but not least, a prototype high-power laser was utilized to
achieve the recording power needed.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The results mark a next step in the speed race for recordable DVD. It is
generally agreed that the now achieved recording speed is close to the
ultimate limit, which is set by the highest safe rotational velocity of the
polycarbonate discs. A higher disc velocity would require so much additional
energy to be pumped into the disc that it would start resonating and
eventually break. At the currently reached 16x recording speed, a disc makes
180 rotations per second, corresponding to a linear velocity of 56 meters per
second (over 200 km/h), while marks are burned with a precision of less than
0.05 micrometer!

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Amsterdam, The Netherlands, November&nbsp;20, 2003 &#151; Gerard Kleisterlee, CEO of
Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG), will today address the Morgan
Stanley Technology Conference in Barcelona, Spain. Mr.&nbsp;Kleisterlee will review
the progress Philips has made in meeting its 2003 management agenda,
discussing how the company&#146;s change programs are helping it achieve cost
savings, boost profitability across its businesses and become a truly
market-driven company.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In commenting on the general business climate, Mr.&nbsp;Kleisterlee said: &#147;We&#146;d
like to confirm the change programs we&#146;ve implemented are bearing fruit, and
we foresee a good fourth quarter.&#148; This stronger performance can now be seen
across Philips&#146; activities and against the backdrop of an improving economic
climate. Also reflected in this trend are positive effects from earlier
restructuring measures in the company&#146;s Semiconductors business, as well as
strengthening demand for Nexperia chips and for LCD televisions in Philips&#146;
Consumer Electronics business. Mr.&nbsp;Kleisterlee also added that, &#147;we&#146;ll
continue to maintain our focus on managing our assets and overseeing our cost
structure.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Mr.&nbsp;Kleisterlee will also use the opportunity to touch on the company&#146;s plans
as it moves forward in 2004. Over the next three to four years, for example,
Philips aims to significantly grow its business in Asia Pacific, which in 2002
stood at just over EUR 7&nbsp;billion in sales. The company will also further build
on its presence in healthcare categories. Continuing to deliver on operational
excellence, Philips will push to boost its top-line growth through innovative
products and services and strengthened positions in growth markets.

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">SHANGHAI, NOVEMBER 29, 2003 &#151; President and CEO of Royal Philips Electronics,
Gerard Kleisterlee, reiterated that China will continue to play an ever more
important role in Philips&#146; growth strategy at a press conference in Shanghai
today. Mr Kleisterlee made his comments after Philips&#146; Group Management
Committee successfully concluded a week-long visit to China from November&nbsp;23
to 29, the first time ever in the company&#146;s history for the entire executive
board to conduct a business strategy review in a country collectively at the
same time.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">With a total activity level in China of USD 6.7&nbsp;billion in 2002 and an
accumulative investment of USD 2.5&nbsp;billion Philips ranks as the number one
multinational corporation in the country. &#147;We aim to almost double our total
activity level in China to over USD 12&nbsp;billion by 2007,&#148; said Mr Kleisterlee.
&#147;China is one of the most important markets in Philips&#146; growth strategy. This
week members of our Group Management Committee have been here with me to
deepen our commitment to China.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The company&#146;s strategy is focused at expanding its local market presence and
increasing its exports from China. Research and development activities in the
country will be stepped up and the already strong position of the brand will
be further bolstered by cross-company marketing programs. In addition Philips
is working to broaden its Chinese talent base and invest in its employer
brand.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&#147;As we met with and listened to customers and consumers, government officials,
suppliers and other stakeholders all across the country, we have become
impressed by the &#145;can do&#146; spirit and the ever accelerating pace of economic
development. Based on our long standing presence and strong brand position in
China, Philips is determined to be part of the opportunity. We are pleased
that our discussions with the government have confirmed that our agenda is
aligned with theirs for the economic development of the country and Philips
will continue to contribute to win-win partnerships,&#148; Mr Kleisterlee added.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Philips announces impairment and restructuring charges of approximately EUR 800&nbsp;million for LG.Philips Displays</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Amsterdam, The Netherlands, December&nbsp;2, 2003 &#151; Royal Philips Electronics
(AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) today announced impairment and restructuring charges of
approximately EUR 800&nbsp;million for LG.Philips Displays (LPD), its 50/50 joint
venture with LG Electronics.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">LPD manufactures cathode ray tube (CRT)&nbsp;displays and is impacted by worsening
market conditions and increased price erosion, mainly caused by the rapid
penetration of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)&nbsp;panels for application in TV
and monitors. Therefore LPD has reviewed its business plan and worked out a
program to adopt its capacity and maintain its cost leadership. Execution of
this program will strengthen LPD&#146;s competitiveness and will secure continued
positive cash flow.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The revised market outlook will lead to a non-cash asset impairment charge of
approximately EUR 540&nbsp;million and to restructuring charges of approximately
EUR 60&nbsp;million in Q4 2003. Philips&#146; share of these charges will be
approximately EUR 300&nbsp;million and will be included in the net income of
Philips in Q4 2003.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Philips has also reviewed the valuation of its investment in LPD and concluded
to write off the book value of its remaining investment. This will lead to a
non-cash impairment charge of approximately EUR 500&nbsp;million and will also be
included in the net income of Philips in Q4 2003.

2003.
