<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Amazon.com offers Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator for over-the-counter sale</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Andover, Massachusetts, USA &#151; Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) today announced that
the Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is now available over-the-counter (OTC)&nbsp;to consumers at
Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN), the largest online retailer to offer the product. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration recently cleared the HeartStart Home Defibrillator for sale without a prescription,
making it the first and only defibrillator to obtain OTC status. As a leading online retailer with
access to tens of millions of active customer accounts, Amazon.com (www.amazon.com) will play an
important role in making the HeartStart Home Defibrillator more easily available to consumers for
home use, where the majority of cardiac arrests occur.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)&nbsp;is a leading cause of death in the United States, claiming
approximately 340,000 lives each year &#151; more than traffic accidents, house fires, handguns, breast
cancer, prostate cancer and AIDS combined. Defibrillators provide treatment for ventricular
fibrillation, the most common cause of SCA, by delivering a controlled electrical shock to restore
a normal heart rhythm. For each minute that passes before defibrillation therapy is administered to
a victim, the chance for survival decreases by about 10&nbsp;percent. It takes an average of nine
minutes for emergency professionals to reach a victim in a typical community.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;With nearly 80&nbsp;percent of cardiac arrests occurring in the home, it is important to make
defibrillation technology easily available to consumers,&#148; said Deborah DiSanzo, vice president and
general manager, cardiac resuscitation, Philips Medical Systems. &#147;Offering the HeartStart Home
Defibrillator at Amazon.com will help reach millions of consumers and help them prepare for an SCA
emergency. Philips is a pioneer in bringing defibrillators to the home and is pleased to be making
this innovative product available at Amazon.com.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Amazon.com is excited to offer customers such an innovative and important product,&#148; said Maria
Renz, Director, Health &#038; Personal Care on Amazon.com. &#147;Making this product widely available to our
millions of customers will help ensure that those who want to be prepared can easily find and buy
it.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Patented technologies and an award-winning design make the HeartStart Home Defibrillator fast to
learn and easy to use. Designed around the user, it provides clear, calm voice instructions that
guide responders through every step of the defibrillation process. It even reminds them to call for
emergency help and offers instructions for administering CPR. Patented voice coaching for both
adult and infant/child CPR provides audio cues for each breath as well as the appropriate number
and rate of chest compressions. Advanced SMART Pad technology senses the responder&#146;s actions with
the pads and automatically adjusts the pace of the voice instructions to meet the individual
responder&#146;s needs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Daily self-tests of multiple system components, including a check for pads readiness, renders the
device virtually maintenance free. A loud chirp alerts family members when any part of the system
needs attention. The specially designed Infant/Child SMART Pads cartridge, available by
prescription, makes the HeartStart Home Defibrillator more appropriate for use on infants and
children under the age of 8 or weighing less than 55 lbs.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Amsterdam, the
Netherlands</B> &#151; Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) today announced that
it has reached a settlement with Volumetrics Medical Imaging, Inc. regarding a pending dispute it
had with Volumetrics in the United States. The settlement amounts to a total of approximately EUR
145&nbsp;million and will be accounted for in Philips&#146; fourth quarter results.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In 2003, a court in North Carolina, USA, had ordered Philips to pay Volumetrics USD 319&nbsp;million
plus interest, for which Philips had posted a letter of credit supported by a stand-by credit
facility for the amount of USD 345&nbsp;million. This settlement ends all of the litigation and resolves
all outstanding disputes with Volumetrics relating to the decision of a subsidiary in the
ultrasound business of Philips Medical Systems not to collaborate with or acquire Volumetrics.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The dispute and the related court case had been previously disclosed in Philips&#146; 2002 Annual
Report, with further details provided in Philips&#146; 2003 Annual Report. The settlement agreement
contains no admission of wrongdoing by Philips or its subsidiaries. Given the financial risks
associated with prolonging this dispute, Philips took the opportunity to resolve this matter.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ARM and Philips&#146; Handshake Solutions collaborate to develop clockless processor</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Cambridge, UK, -Oct. 27, 2004 &#151; Handshake Solutions, a Royal
Philips Electronics line of business, and ARM &#091;(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)&#093;, today announced the
joint development and marketing of an ARM&#174; processor using Handshake Solutions&#146; unique low-power,
self-timed technology. The partnership provides Handshake Solutions with a license to develop the
breakthrough implementation using their unique design flow and methodology.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The ARM processor will utilize Handshake Solutions&#146; Handshake Technology, which is the industry&#146;s
first production proven methodology for using self-timed circuitry in commercial applications.
Handshake Technology has been used for more than five years in tens of millions of products
including smart cards, advanced pagers, In-Vehicle Network transceivers, and cordless handsets. The
compact asynchronous ARM processor will be particularly useful in the smart card, consumer
electronics, and automotive markets because of its very low power consumption and low Electro
Magnetic Interference (EMI).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Handshake Solution&#146;s technology has already been successfully implemented in millions of ICs
available in the market today,&#148; said Wouter Van Roost, chief executive officer, Handshake
Solutions. &#147;Applying Handshake Technology to the industry-leading ARM architecture will result in a
new type of ultra low power processor, enabling new classes of application.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;ARM has always been the low-power leader in embedded microprocessors,&#148; said Mike Inglis, executive
vice president, Marketing, ARM. &#147;Our partnership with Handshake Solutions will enable new ultra-low
power applications in the smart card, consumer electronics, and automotive markets, while
preserving the easy integration common to all ARM processors.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">This new ARM processor is compliant with the ARMv5TE architecture and optimized for use in both
synchronous and asynchronous system-on-chip designs, permitting easy integration by semiconductor
makers. The key benefits of the processor include low Electro Magnetic emission, reducing the
probability of interfering with sensitive circuitry, and low peak currents, reducing system power
requirements. Because asynchronous processors consume zero dynamic power when there is no activity,
they can significantly extend battery life. ARM has long recognised the potential of asynchronous
design and has supported the Amulet&#174; project lead by Professor Steve Furber at Manchester
University.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The new ARM processor will be available as a licensable core from ARM in Q1 2005. It will be
supported by Handshake Solutions&#146; advanced design tools and methodology that enables customers to
design a complete or partially asynchronous chip. More information on Handshake Solutions can be

31, 2002, its Forms 10-Q filed during 2002 and 2003, and all earnings releases and similar

concluded that MedQuist will not be able to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30,
2004 in a timely manner. The board considered the likelihood that quantifying the effect the
alleged potential improper billing practices are expected to have on MedQuist&#146;s financial condition

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Amsterdam, The
Netherlands</B> &#151; In view of an announcement made on November&nbsp;2, 2004, by MedQuist Inc.
(MEDQ.PK) concerning its 2002 to 2004 financials and given the remaining uncertainty with respect
to the impact of the alleged potential improper billing practices on the past and future
performance of MedQuist, Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) has concluded that the
current valuation of its investment in MedQuist (approximately 70.9&nbsp;percent of MedQuist shares) can
no longer be supported under the applicable accounting principles.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Therefore, Philips will base the value of its investment in MedQuist on the price at which MedQuist
shares have been trading in the over-the-counter market subsequent to the MedQuist announcement of
November&nbsp;2, 2004. As a result of this decision, Philips will recognize a non-cash impairment charge
of approximately EUR 580&nbsp;million in the fourth quarter.

in the mid-teens,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Han van Splunter, President and CEO of Philips Domestic Appliances and

products, advertising and penetrating emerging markets, as the company builds on the strategic
partnerships established with such leading companies as SaraLee, Unilever and Procter&#038;Gamble. &#147;Last
week, we announced the launch of the new aluminum line of
SENSEO<SUP>&#174;</SUP> coffee makers, an example of the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The company&#146;s Lighting division is also expected to continue as a growth engine in 2005. To secure
Philips&#146; number one position in Lighting, the company will further expand into emerging markets,
while boosting investment in R&#038;D on innovative products like solid state and automotive lighting.
&#147;Advanced products &#151; like Night Guide, an automotive headlight we brought onto the market in
September &#151; form the backbone of our business,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Theo van Deursen, President and CEO of Philips
Lighting said. &#147;In the automotive industry, we&#146;re a leader, equipping four out of every ten new
cars worldwide with lamps, and we aim to build on these leadership positions,&#148; he continued.
Tuesday will also mark another milestone for the division&#146;s advanced LED (light emitting diode)
business: &#147;Today we&#146;re launching a four-year partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the
United States. This will see our state-of-the-art LEDs light up Saks&#146; flagship storefront in New
York during the holiday season,&#148; he said.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Company plans to further simplify and standardize administrative processes</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Philips will also use today&#146;s meeting to outline its ongoing plans for improving the quality of
business support functions &#151; like finance, IT, purchasing and HR &#151; by making them simpler and more
standardized across the company. Following the EUR 1&nbsp;billion cost savings program completed in
2003, Philips is now drawing up plans to make these support functions best-in-class. &#147;Our &#145;Best in
Finance 2006&#146; program will set an example on how to generate higher value-added services at a
significantly lower cost. Other support services are developing their own Best in Class programs.
This will provide Philips with higher quality administrative processes at reduced cost. We estimate
we&#146;ll be able to achieve approximately EUR 500&nbsp;million in additional annual savings three to four
years from now,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Jan Hommen, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, said.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Philips&#146; first &#145;ambient experience&#146; radiology suite built at Advocate Lutheran General Children&#146;s
Hospital</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><I>Patient-friendly hospital design seen as key to improved care and greater productivity</I>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Chicago, Illinois &#151; Today, Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) announced that
construction of the first &#145;ambient experience&#146; radiology suite has been completed. The suite,
located at Advocate Lutheran General Children&#146;s Hospital in greater Chicago, uses Philips&#146; lighting
and consumer electronics to create a more patient-friendly environment for people undergoing
medical scans. Designing a comfortable patient environment is also seen as a way to reduce the time
needed to take medical images, thereby helping hospitals work more efficiently.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Providing a supportive and soothing environment to all our patients &#151; but especially our pediatric
patients &#151; is very important to us,&#148; said Dr.&nbsp;John Anastos, chairman of the department of radiology
at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. &#147;As one of the most comprehensive providers of pediatric
care in Illinois, we strive to offer a healthcare facility that meets and personalizes patient
needs, and creating an ambient environment helps us achieve this.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Wanting to make it less intimidating for patients to be scanned at a radiology ward, Advocate
Lutheran General Children&#146;s Hospital partnered with Philips to build a new imaging center for
children. The newly designed suite at the hospital&#146;s Yacktman Children&#146;s Pavilion features a
Philips Brilliance CT (computed tomography) scanner in a room with curved walls, creating a softer
emotional environment. Patients will be able to choose a mood theme
&#151; or &#147;ambient environment&#148; &#151; for the room by waving a radio frequency card over a reader, which triggers special lighting and
animated images projected onto the walls and ceiling using Philips technology.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Dr.&nbsp;Anastos added: &#147;Pediatric patients range in age from infants to teenagers &#151; we wanted a place
that was comfortable for all age groups. We also expect that the lighting and visual effects will
lower stress for both the patients and their families, making the experience better for everyone.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In commenting on the project, Jouko Karvinen, President and CEO of Philips Medical Systems said,
&#147;It&#146;s gratifying to see customers starting to share our vision for hospital design. Many people
will tell you being scanned can be an overwhelming experience. If a patient isn&#146;t relaxed, it&#146;s
often more difficult and takes more time for clinicians to make accurate scans. We try to solve
this by working with hospitals to create facilities that are designed around the needs of both
doctors and patients. Here we think we have an edge, thanks in part to Philips&#146; established track
record in lifestyle businesses. And this gives us insights into what patients as people want.&#148;
