An amount of EUR 45 million included in receivables is due after one year (2007: EUR 65 million).
Until June 2008, cash transactions with US-based group companies were executed through Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.
(KPENV), which resulted in significant individual short-term intercompany receivables and payables. As from that date, and
in line with the standard practice in other countries, these intercompany receivables and payables are periodically cleared
via Philips Electronics North America Corporation, a subsidiary of KPENV. Consequently, the intercompany receivables stated
under ‘Affiliated companies’ are significantly lower compared to previous years.
