Over the past three years, total expenditure on research
and development has remained relatively stable, while sales
have shown consistent year-on-year growth. Consequently,
research and development expenditure as a percentage of
sales has fallen to a low in 2005 of 8.4%. The stabilization
of the research and development spend re ects actions
taken to balance the overall Philips portfolio, such as the
outsourcing of the monitor and low-end at TV activities
to TPV, as well as the pro-active re-balancing of research
and development expenditures in line with the Company’s
healthcare, lifestyle and technology focus areas.

In 2005, Medical Systems saw an increased research and
development spend in the areas of molecular medicine
and new sensor technologies, Lighting in LCD backlighting,
DAP in Consumer Health & Wellness and Semiconductors
in Home and Mobile & Personal activities. Research and
development expenditure has also been aligned to the
healthcare, lifestyle and technology focus areas, including
the establishment in late 2005 of two new research
incubators for healthcare and lifestyle (breeding grounds
for new, innovative product concepts). As a result, the
relative amount of research invested in the more traditional
areas of integrated circuits and imaging technologies has
been reduced.
