PHILIPS INAUGURATES ASIA PACIFICS FIRST MEDICAL LEARNING CENTRE
State-of-the-art Euro 12 million facility for advanced medical diagnostics equipment training is first of its kind in the region
Singapore Philips Medical Systems (Philips), a division of Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE:PHG, AEX:PHI), today inaugurated Asia Pacifics first Learning Centre for advanced medical diagnostics equipment training in Singapore. The Learning Centre offers training programs designed around the needs of healthcare technicians. Guest-of-honour Philip Yeo, Agency for Science, Technology & Research of Singapore Government and Jouko Karvinen, CEO, Philips Medical Systems, graced the inauguration ceremony.
The Singapore Learning Centre is designed around the needs of healthcare professionals and customers and will offer service engineers, sales engineers and application persons in depth knowledge of cutting edge medical technology. The Centre will also provide medical communities across the region access to the most advanced medical diagnostics equipment and their operation thus accelerating the delivery of quality healthcare.
The 37,000 sq ft Singapore Learning Centre is the largest dedicated facility of its kind for advanced medical equipment training in the Asia Pacific region. The centre is equipped with the most sophisticated medical diagnostics equipment, including cardio vascular X-ray, general X-ray, computer tomography (CT) scanner, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound systems and Patient Monitoring. The value of the initial investment in the centre is around Euro 12 million.
Speaking at the inauguration, Jouko Karvinen, CEO of Philips Medical Systems, said, The Singapore Learning Centre has been established in response to our rapid expansion and success in the Asia Pacific region where we are benefiting from double-digit growth rates over the past couple of years. The opening of the Centre reinforces our commitment to advancing healthcare in Asia Pacific. The Learning Centre is aligned around our brand promise Sense and simplicity and is a reflection on how one makes advanced technology simple and easy to experience.
The Centre allows us to address a long pending requirement of this region access to a facility providing education and training in the skills and expertise required to operate technologically advanced high-performance diagnostics equipment. Good healthcare solutions will improve patient care. At the same time, they will keep healthcare costs under control.
Singapore serves as an ideal location for the centre as it is in the heart of Asia Pacific, as well as a vibrant medical hub in the region. The Singapore Government (EDB) has also shown keen interest to cooperate with local industries and has a strong focus to develop Singapore into a knowledge based society. We believe the local and regional medical communities will benefit from the easy access to our knowledge base in diagnostics technology and healthcare innovations, added Mr. Karvinen.
The Learning Centre offers training programs designed around the needs of healthcare technicians - from field sales and service engineers to marketing and application specialists, who require both theoretical and hands-on training for clinical practice. The centre will provide more than 4,000 training days during 2006 and increase to over 6,000 days over the next two years.
The full range of most advanced products and solutions from Philips Medical Systems are featured in the Learning Centre, and will be changed whenever newer models become available to keep up with the product cycle, so that trainees are always up-to-date with the newest technologies. Large, sophisticated equipment like CTs and MRIs have a permanent place in the Learning Centre, while smaller pieces of equipment are available for mobile training sessions, where they can be shipped to other countries in Asia for more cost-effective on-location training.
Potential customers can also benefit by visiting the centre for application training or equipment demonstration when they are in the process of equipping their hospital.
The centre caters to the needs of the Asia Pacific, Australasia and the Middle East regions, and has on board nine full-time trainers who can deliver lectures in English and also in either Mandarin or Japanese. The intent is to hire three more trainers. For additional support there are 3 administrative staff on board.
The Philips Design team was commissioned to make the Learning Centres interior experience a signature Philips one. The design team created a professional area where technology and lifestyle merges into a complete visible One Philips experience based on the understanding of peoples needs. The centres clean curved lines reflect a modern and innovative environment conducive to advanced learning. With eight lecture rooms, 20 labs and a 98-seat auditorium, the Learning Centre is flexible in use and appropriate to hold all Philips initiatives, such as medical training and product launches.
The newly established Learning Centre is on Level 5, TP3, at the Philips complex in Toa Payoh, Singapore.

PHILIPS ANNOUNCES U.S. COMMERCIAL LAUNCH OF MOTIVA A TV-BASED PLATFORM FOR REMOTE PATIENT
MANAGEMENT
Motiva uses the home TV to actively engage chronic disease patients with personalized healthcare
content as part of their daily routines.
Andover, MA, USA - Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) today announced U.S. commercial availability of Philips Motiva, its groundbreaking TV-based platform for remote patient management. Besides vital sign monitoring, Motiva engages patients daily with personalized interactive content helping care managers reach more patients, influence long-term behavior and lower healthcare costs.
Motiva gives patients a friendly and familiar way to connect everyday with their healthcare organizations the home television, said Jay Mazelsky, vice president and general manager, for Philips Medical Systems. Nearly everyone has a TV and Motiva transforms this common household device into a whole new way for nurses to educate, motivate and communicate with their patients. Equally important, Motiva lets clinicians continuously track each patients level of knowledge, motivation and confidence to achieve specific health goals related to his or her chronic condition. Its a powerful combination designed to help organizations address both quality of life and cost of quality care.
Designing Motiva around patient needs, Philips called on experts in the companys consumer electronics business to learn how to wrap this high tech system in an easy-to-use package, consistent with the overall Philips commitment to Sense and Simplicity. With a simplified user interface, patients only need to operate a few buttons on a Motiva remote control, while the secure broadband connection and set-top box installed at enrollment make the connection work.
In a usability study conducted in early 2005 in New Jersey, Motiva earned high marks from patients as old as 81. Said one patient, If you know how to press a button, you know how it operates. The TV screen tells you everything you need to do. Nurses found the system helped improve their connection with patients. The usability study was followed in June 2005 by a trial of Motiva in the Netherlands by leading Dutch healthcare insurer, Achmea.
Monitoring and management key to the Motiva experience
Motiva supports daily vital signs monitoring for high-acuity patients using wireless devices
installed in the home. The current product includes Bluetooth-enabled weight measurement, while
future Motiva releases are expected to incorporate blood pressure and glucose measurement.
For every patient, Motiva monitors ongoing health status, usage patterns and regularly queries patients about changes in their knowledge, motivation and confidence levels insights nurses can use to adapt care plans and gauge impact on long-term behavior.
A familiar, friendly coach for motivating healthy behavior
To help patients achieve their health goals, healthcare organizations use Motiva to deliver care
plans directly to patients at home. Its as if patients each have a personal coach educating and
motivating them to make lifestyle modifications that can lead to long-term behavior change.
Patients spend a few minutes each day at their convenience interacting with Motiva, making it a
natural and helpful part of their regular routines.
Each care plan includes personalized messages, reminders, health tips, health status surveys and feedback, as well as video clips designed to educate the patient and quizzes to test comprehension. With Motiva, patients interact with their healthcare provider daily as they progress through the care plan content, supporting a stronger personal relationship between patient and provider that is intended to deepen the commitment to improving self-care.
Personalized care for more patients, more conditions, new programs
Care plans, which integrate an organizations clinical guidelines and evidence-based protocols, are
available for a wide spectrum of chronic diseases, condition and acuity levels from at-risk to
chronic including congestive heart failure, diabetes, asthma, depression, as well as lifestyle
factors such as obesity and smoking.
Simple and effective for patients to use in the home, Motiva is equally straightforward and productive for nurses responsible for managing a number of patients each day. Clinical software and workflow efficiency tools support both automation and customization of care plans, as well as end-to-end disease management activities, enabling healthcare organizations to increase their reach and manage larger chronic populations with truly personal and engaging content.
Motivas familiar medium, engaging patient content, clinical workflow and efficiency tools combine with an organizations disease management services to enable lower overall healthcare costs. Automation and customization can reduce the labor required to administer personalized disease management programs across broader patient populations in order to reduce claims, and thus decrease overall costs.

PHILIPS TO ACQUIRE MOTHER & BABY CARE PRODUCTS COMPANY
AVENT HOLDINGS LTD.
| Deal brings together AVENT a leader in baby care, with Philips a leader in electronics |
| Complementary premium brands, sales channels and geographic scope expected to fuel future growth |
| Move further expands Philips presence in consumer health & wellness |
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and London, the United Kingdom Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE:PHG, AEX:PHI) and AVENT Holdings Ltd. (AVENT) today announced Philips will acquire AVENT, a leading provider of baby and infant feeding products in the United Kingdom and the United States, with sales in more than 60 countries. Subject to receipt of regulatory approval, Philips will acquire AVENT from the private equity firm Charterhouse Capital Partners LLP for approximately £ 460 million (approximately EUR 675 million) to be paid in cash upon completion of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006, and AVENT will be integrated into Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care division.
We view the health and well-being of mothers and infants as a key future market for Philips. Through this acquisition, we can build on Philips leading position in Europe in baby monitors to become a leading provider of products in this market, said Mr. Andrea Ragnetti, CEO of Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care division. AVENT is recognized as a premium mother and baby care brand, while Philips brand is strongly associated with healthcare and advanced electronics designed around the consumer. So together, we see an excellent opportunity for emerging as a strong player in this growing market, Mr. Ragnetti added.
For the 12 months ending March 2006, AVENT reported sales of approximately £ 113 million (approximately EUR 165 million) representing a growth in sales of 12% over the previous 12 months, and an operating margin of 22%. Philips anticipates the acquisition to be accretive to margins from 2007 onwards. Over the next five years, it is expected that sales growth will significantly outpace the market.
To achieve this growth, Philips will combine AVENTs well-established position in the UK and US markets and premium mother and baby care consumer brand with Philips extensive global reach, to expand AVENTs activities in particular into Asia and emerging markets. Through co-branding, Philips will create a premium product category through which future mother and baby care products also increasingly with electronic components can be introduced. Philips also expects to improve the efficiency of AVENTs activities as they are scaled up, while leveraging both companys mass retail and dedicated specialty sales channels.
In commenting on the acquisition, Elisabeth Christie, CEO of AVENT Holdings Ltd. said, We see teaming up with Philips as a good fit for AVENTs long-term growth plans. When it comes to the health and well being of mothers and infants, both our companies put the consumer first. We also both recognize that through strong consumer insights and premium products, we can achieve a leading position in the market. We look forward to working with a global leader in electronics, to continue bringing out innovative mother and baby care products.
As Philips continues expanding its business activities across the entire care cycle, AVENT will
provide a platform for Philips growing its consumer health & wellness activities further.
Founded in 1984, AVENT manufactures bottle, breast and toddler feeding products. The company is the
market leader in the United Kingdom, is among the top three manufacturers in its category in the
United States, and has sales in over 60 countries. AVENT is widely recognized as a premium brand as
reflected by its many consumer, professional and industry awards. The company also enjoys very high
brand recognition and leading market positions. Furthermore, AVENT has a reputation for
technological innovation having introduced the first steam sterilizer, first single handed breast
pump, the first breast pump to imitate a babys suckling action, and the first and only feeding
bottle to be clinically proven to reduce colic.
Valued at approximately EUR 7 billion, the addressable market in mother and baby care products such as safety and monitoring products, health and personal care products, feeding accessories and early learning aids is expected over the next 5 years to grow on average per year by approximately 5% in developed markets and 10% in emerging markets. In developed markets, the trend toward an aging population with a greater number of grandparents and older first time parents is resulting in higher spending per baby. In emerging markets, such as China, per capita spending on baby care products is also rising due to increased wealth and a higher portion of disposable income spent on infants and children.
