Philips

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Royal Philips Electronics Inc.), most

commonly known as Philips, is a multinational Dutch electronics corporation.

Philips is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. In 2010, its

sales were €25.42 billion. The company employs 119,000 people in more than

60 countries.

Philips is organized in a number of sectors: Philips Consumer Lifestyle

(formerly Philips Consumer Electronics and Philips Domestic Appliances and

Personal Care), Philips Lighting and Philips Healthcare (formerly Philips

Medical Systems).

History

The company was founded in 1891 by Anton and Gerard Philips, a maternal

cousin of Karl Marx, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Its first products were

carbon-filament lamps and other electro-technical equipment. Its first factory

survives as a museum devoted to light sculpture. In the 1920s, the company

started to manufacture other products, such as vacuum tubes (also known

worldwide as 'valves'). In 1939 they introduced their electric razor, the

Philishave (marketed in the USA using the Norelco brand name).

Philips was also instrumental in the revival of the Stirling engine.

Philips Radio

On 11 March 1927 Philips went on the air with shortwave radio station PCJJ

(later PCJ)which was joined in 1929 by sister station PHI. PHI broadcast in

Dutch to the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) while PCJJ broadcast in

English, Spanish and German to the rest of the world.

Page 6: Philips

The international program on Sundays commenced in 1928 with host Eddie

Startz hosting the Happy Station show which became the world's longest

running shortwave program.

Broadcasts from the Netherlands were interrupted by the German invasion in

May 1940. The transmitters in Huizen were commandeered by the Germans

and used for pro-Nazi broadcasts, some originating from Germany, others

concerts from Dutch broadcasters under German control.

Philips Radio did not resume after Liberation. Instead the two shortwave

stations were nationalised and became Radio Netherlands Worldwide, the

Dutch International Service in 1946 though PCJ programs such as Happy

Station continued on the new station.

World War II

On 9 May 1940, the Philips directors were informed about the German

invasion of the Netherlands to take place the following day. They decided to

leave the country and flee to the United States, taking a large amount of the

company capital with them. Operating from the US as the North American

Philips Company, they

managed to run the

company throughout the

war. At the same time,

the company itself was

moved to the Netherlands

Antilles (just on paper) to

keep it out of American

hands.

It is also believed that

Philips—both before and

during the war—supplied

enormous amounts of

electric equipment to the

German occupation

forces, which has led

some people to think that

the company collaborated

with the Nazis, like many

other firms in their day.

However, there is no

evidence to suggest that

Philips itself or its

management ever

sympathized with the Nazis or their ideologies. The only Philips family

member who did not leave the country, Frits Philips, saved the lives of 382

Jews by indicating to the Nazis that they were indispensable for the

production process at Philips, for which he was awarded recognition as a

"Righteous Among the Nations" by Yad Vashem in 1995. There is little Philips

could have done to prevent the Germans from abusing their production

facilities and forcing their employees to perform slave labour during the

occupation. The production facility in Eindhoven was the only Dutch industrial

target that was deliberately bombed by the allied forces during the war.Summer Pro jec t

Postwar era

After the war the company was moved back to the Netherlands, with their

headquarters in Eindhoven. Many secret research facilities had been locked

and successfully hidden from the invaders, which allowed the company to get

up to speed again quickly after the war.

In 1950, Philips formed Philips Records.

Philips introduced the audio Compact Audio Cassette tape in 1963 and was

wildly successful. Compact cassettes were initially used for dictation machines

for office typing stenographers and professional journalists. As their sound

quality improved, cassettes would also be used to record sound and became

the second mass media to sell recorded music alongside vinyl records. Philips

introduced the first combination portable radio and cassette recorder which is

marketed as the "radiorecorder" and which is now better known as the boom

box. Later the cassette was used in telephone answering machines including a

special form of cassette where the tape was wound on an endless loop. The C-

cassette found itself also as the first mass storage device for early personal

computers in the 1970s and 1980s. Philips would also reduce the cassette size

for the professional needs with the Mini Cassette, although it wouldn't be as

successful as the Olympus microcassette which was the predominant dictation

media up to the advent of fully digital dictation machines.

In 1972 Philips launched the world's first home video cassette recorder, in

England, the N1500 with bulky video cassettes that could record 30 minutes

or 45 minutes. Later one hour tapes were also offered. As competition came

from Sony's Betamax and the VHS group of manufacturers, Philips introduced

the N1700 system which allowed double length recording and for the first

time would fit a 2 hour movie onto one video cassette; in 1977, the company

unveiled a special promotional film for this system in the UK featuring

comedic personality Denis Norden. This idea was soon copied by the Japanese

makers whose tapes were significantly cheaper. Philips made one last attempt

at a new standard for video recorders with the Video 2000 system with tapes

that could be used on both sides and had thus 8 hours of total recording time.

As Philips only sold its systems on the PAL standard and in Europe, and the

Japanese makers sold globally, the scale advantages of the Japanese proved

insurmountable and Philips withdrew the V2000 system and joined the VHS

Coalition.

Philips had early developments of a laser disk for selling movies but delayed

its commercial launch for fear of cannibalizing its video recorder sales. Later Summer Pro jec t

4

Page 9: Philips

Philips would join with MCA to launch the first commercial laser disk standard

and players. In 1982, Philips would team with Sony to launch Compact Disc

and optical telecommunication systems. These formats evolved to the present

day DVD and Blu-Ray, which Philips launched with Sony in 1997 and 2006

respectively.

In 1991, the company's name was changed

from N.V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken to

Philips Electronics N.V. At the same time,

North American Philips was formally dissolved,

and a new corporate division was formed in the

U.S. with the name Philips Electronics North

America Corp.

In 1997 the decision was made to move the

headquarters from Eindhoven to Amsterdam,

along with the corporate name change to

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. The move

was completed in 2001. Initially, the company

was housed in the Rembrandt Tower, but in

2002 they moved again, this time to the Breitner Tower. In a sense, the move

to Amsterdam can be considered a return to the company's roots, because

Gerard Philips lived in Amsterdam when he came up with the idea of building

a light bulb factory. He also conducted his first experiments in the field of

mass production of light bulbs there, together with Jan Reesse. Philips

Lighting, Philips Research, Philips Semiconductors (spun off as NXP in

September 2006) and Philips Design, are still based in Eindhoven. Philips

Healthcare is headquartered in both Best, Netherlands (just outside

Eindhoven) and Andover, Massachusetts, United States (near Boston).

As of 2010 the company does not try to be innovative anymore in consumer

electronics through fundamental research

Main inventions

Compact Cassette

In 1962 Philips invented the compact audio cassette medium for audio

storage. Although there were other magnetic tape cartridge systems, the

Compact Cassette became dominant as a result of Philips's decision to license

the format free of charge.Summer Pro jec t

Page 10: Philips

Laserdisc

Laserdisc was a 30 cm disc designed with MCA meant to compete with VHS

and even replace it. It was not as generally popular as VHS, because of the

initial investment costs of players, somewhat higher costs of movie titles, and

the read-only format. But like Betamax, it enjoyed extensive success among

serious video collectors. The

technologies created for Laserdisc

would later be used again for the

Compact Disc.

Compact Disc

Although Philips' and MCA's

Laserdisc project never reached

the VHS mass market level, Philips

still thought the format should be

able to succeed, and, in

collaboration with Sony, launched

the smaller CD in 1982.

DVD

The DVD, the eventual successor of

the CD, met a long road of

setbacks. Philips wanted to

continue with the CD in a new format called MultiMedia Compact Disc

(MMCD), while another group

(led by Toshiba) was

developing a competing format,

then named Super Density (SD)

disc. Their representatives

approached IBM for advice on

the file system. IBM also

learned of Philips' and Sony's

initiative. IBM convinced a

group of computer industry

experts (among them Apple,

Dell, etc.) to form a working

group. The Technical Working

Group (TWG) voted to boycott

both formats unless they

Summer Pro jec t

6

Page 11: Philips

merged to prevent another format war (like the videotape format war). The

result was the DVD specification, finalized in 1995. The DVD video format was

first introduced in Japan in 1996, later in 1997 in the U.S. as limited test run,

then across Europe and the other continents from late 1998 onwards.

Blu-Ray

Blu-Ray, yet again primarily developed by Philips and Sony, utilizes blue-violet

coloured diodes to create an even shorter wavelength beam than CD or DVD.

Because of this, the capacity is much more than that of CD or DVD, being 25

GB single-layered or 50 GB dual-layered.

Sale of semiconductors

As a chip maker, Philips Semiconductors was among the Worldwide Top 20

Semiconductor Sales Leaders.

In December 2005 Philips announced its intention to make the Semiconductor

Division ins2006.

On 2 August 2006, Philips

completed an agreement to sell a

controlling 80.1% stake in Philips

Semiconductors to a consortium of

private equity investors consisting

of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.

(KKR), Silver Lake Partners and

AlpInvest Partners. The sale

completed a process, which began

December 2005, with its decision to

create a separate legal entity for

Semiconductors and to pursue all

strategic options. Six weeks before,

ahead of its online dialogue, through a letter to 8,000 of Philips managers, it

was announced that they were speeding up the transformation of

Semiconductors into a stand-alone entity with majority ownership by a third

party. It was stated then that "this is much more than just a transaction: it is

probably the most significant milestone on a long journey of change for Philips

and the beginning of a new chapter for everyone – especially those involved

with Semiconductors".

In its more than 115 year history, this counts as a big step that is definitely

changing the profile of the company. Philips was one of few companies that

successfully made the transition from the electrical world of the 19th century

into the electronic age, starting its semiconductor activity in 1953 and

building it into a global top 10 player in its industry. As such, Semiconductors

was at the heart of many innovations in Philips over the past 50 years.

Agreeing to start a process that would ultimately lead to the decision to sell

the Semiconductor Division therefore was one of the toughest decisions that

the Board of Management ever had to make.

Page 13: Philips

On 21 August 2006, Bain Capital and Apax Partners announced that they had

signed definitive commitments to join the expanded consortium headed by

KKR that is to acquire the controlling stake in the Semiconductors Division.

On 1 September 2006, it was announced in Berlin that the name of the new

semiconductor company founded by Philips is NXP Semiconductors.

Coinciding with the sale of the Semiconductor Division, Philips also

announced that they would drop the word 'Electronics' from the company

name, thus becoming simply Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips N.V.).

Corporate affairs

In 2004, Philips abandoned the slogan "Let's make things better" in favour of

a new one: "Sense and simplicity".

ASM Lithography is a spin-off from a division of Philips.

Origin, now part of Atos Origin, is a former division of Philips.

Its record division, PolyGram, was sold to Seagram in 1998 and was merged

into Universal Music Group. Philips Records continues to operate as part of

UMG, its name licenced from its former parent.

Philips Intellectual Property and Standards,[7] is the company's division

dealing with licensing, trademark protection and patenting. Philips currently

holds about 55,000 patent rights, 33,000 trademark registrations, and 49,000

design registrations.

Philips also forayed into the pharmaceuticals market in a company best known

as Philips-Duphar (Dutch Pharmaceuticals). Philips-Duphar made products for

crop protection, veterinary medicine and products for human use. Duphar was

sold to Solvay, now Solvay Pharmaceuticals. In subsequent years divisions

have been sold of, by Solvay, to other companies (crop protection was sold to

UniRoyal, now Chemtura and the veterinary division was sold to Fort Dodge, a

division of Wyeth).

Sports, sponsorships

and naming rights

Traditionally Philips has

a vested interest in

sports, originally as a

means to provide a

healthy form of

recreation for its

employees. In 1913, in

celebration of the

Centenary of Dutch

independence from France, Philips founded a sports club called Philips Sport

Vereniging (Philips Sports Club), or PSV, as it is now known. The sports club

encompasses all kinds of sports, but is currently most famous for its Premier

League football team and its swimming team. Philips owns the naming rights

to Philips Stadion, located in Eindhoven, which is home to Dutch football team

PSV Eindhoven.

Abroad, Philips sponsors and has sponsored numerous sport clubs, sport

facilities, and events. Philips recently (November 2008) extended its very

successful F1 partnership with AT&T Williams to include many more product

groups.

Furthermore, Philips owns the naming rights to the Philips Arena in Atlanta,

Georgia and to the Philips Championship, the premier basketball league in

Australia, traditionally known as the National Basketball League. Between

1988 and 1993 Philips were also the major sponsors of The Balmain Tigers, an

Australian rugby league team.

Outside of sports Philips sponsors the Philips Monsters of Rock festival, held

in many countries all over the world.

name Philips. After selling the Major Domestic Appliances division to

Whirlpool Corporation it changed via Philips Whirlpool and Whirlpool Philips

to Whirlpool only. Whirlpool bought a 53% stake in Philips' major appliance

operations to form Whirlpool International. Whirlpool bought Philips'

remaining interest in Whirlpool International in 1991.

Philips is a member of the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV)

consortium of broadcasting and Internet industry companies (also including

SES Astra, Humax, OpenTV and ANT Software) that is promoting and

Environmental record

In the Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics, Philips ranks on the 3rd

place (after Nokia and Sony Ericsson). The company gains its points mainly

for launching a LED TV that is free from PVC and BFRs, the first product in

this category to be free from these hazardous substances. Philips have made

some considerable progress since 2007

(when it was first ranked in this guide),

in particular by supporting the

Individual Producer Responsibility

principle, which means that the

company is accepting the

responsibility for the toxic impacts of its products on e-waste dumps around

the world.

For its "green products", Philips is using Philips Green Logo, which identifies

products that have a significantly better environmental performance than

their competitors or predecessors.[23] Also, the company is running the

EcoVision4 initiative in which it committed to a number of environmentally

positive improvements by 2012.

Australian information and communications technology (ICT) sector since

1995.

Philips is one of the world's biggest electronics companies and a global leader

in the production of consumer electronics, medical equipment, lighting, small

appliances and semiconductors.

In 2001-02, Philips Electronics Australia had IT&T sales to Government of

approximately $37.86 million, and employed more than 450 people in

Australia.

Philips has been responsible for significant industry development in

components and semiconductors (design and export), regional IT services

projects (exports) and several other initiatives, including:

Regional IT support-Philips Australia is the Asia-Pacific Regional IT 'Centre of

Excellence' and provides a range of IT support services to Philips companies

in the Asia-Pacific region;

IT services-a Philips company, Origin, uses Australia as a base for providing a

IT consulting services to customers in the Asia-Pacific region, and occasionally

other international markets; and

Philips Speech Processing-which was established in Australia in January 1999

as the South East Asian regional headquarters to service the Asian region

markets of Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore.

The Commonwealth Government is helping to expand and develop the ICT

industry in Australia by developing relationships with key ICT industry players

such as Philips, and building on initiatives such as the ICT facilitation package

for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).

Under simplified industry development arrangements, ICT suppliers to

Government have a reduced reporting and compliance burden but are

expected to engage with the Australian industry and, where appropriate,

make use of the skills and capabilities of Australian SMEs in the research,

development and delivery of ICT products and services.

The Government will continue to ensure that the efforts of companies that

conduct ICT industry development activities in Australia are formally

recognised for the role they play in developing the sector.

the US and Europe, Philips has now introduced this product which can access

multiple online music services.

Says Audio Video Region Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa vice-president

David Chong: “After tapping the Indian market, we plan to expand the

marketing base for ‘Streamium MC-i 200’ to countries such as Korea, Taiwan,

Singapore and Australia among others next year. In fact, our new launch is

the world’s first broadband Internet audio system.”

According to Mr Chong, the company also plans to extend the new Internet

broadband system from audio systems to other product categories such as

video streaming broadband colour television, home theatre systems and DVD

receivers among others in India by mid next year.

As part of the marketing strategy to promote ‘Streamium MC-i 200’ in the

Indian marketplace, the company is planning to focus on select retail outlets

in order to set up broadband connectivity in major metros. The company has

recently set up broadband connectivity at two retail outlets in Mumbai,

informs Philips India Ltd general manager (audio and video) consumer

electronics division Sharmila Sahai.

Adds Ms Sahai: “Currently, there is no market for broadband Internet audio

systems in India. Only when the market for broadband picks up will we extend

the connectivity across the country. For the purpose, we are currently in talks

with various broadband service providers such as Hughes Telecom, Bharatiya

Telecom and Dishnet BSL, among others.

SERVICES

• Philips products have reached millions of consumers in India.

• Products discarded by consumers turn into electronic waste.

• This E-Waste is hazardous for the environment, and to human health.

• Efforts are needed to dispose off

these products in an environment

friendly manner.

• Philips India has initiated a

voluntary take back and recycle

program

Philips E-waste Management

Program in India

Philips has tied up with a recycler for

collecting, transporting and recycling

unwanted / broken down consumer products.

At Philips we offer consumers a convenient way of recycling their unwanted,

obsolete and damaged Philips products by dropping them off at convenient

locations. The program encompasses 8 major cities across India. Consumers

can approach one of 27 authorized Philips service centres, which will act as

collection points for consumer products which need recycling. Our efforts are

to expand the network in the near future.

Philips ensures that the consumer products received will be recycled in an

environment-friendly manner. Philips understand the corporate social

responsibility and takes steps towards providing a safer environment to the

future generations. We design our products to continuously realize

improvements and reduce their overall life cycle environmental impact.

Designing products for recycling is an integral part of this approach. Our aim

is to use our planet’s limited resources effectively and respect the principle of

extended producer responsibility. This also calls for manufacturers to engage

in developing solutions for effective and efficient recycling of their products.

We will continue to promote and invest into improved recycling systems to

reduce the impact of electronic waste on the environment.

MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

Philips India is a subsidiary of Royal Philips Electronics, a Netherlands based

company. Royal Philips Electronics is a leader in Personal Care, Domestic

Appliances, Medical Systems, Consumer Electronics, Semiconductors and

Lighting.

Philips has been working in India for the last 75 years. It has an employee

base

of over 3,300. It has 7 factories and several sales offices in India.

The Rs 1,668-crore Philips India has set up a separate organisational structure

for its consumer electronics division, which accounts for about 45 per cent of

the company's turnover. The new entity, christened Philips Consumer

Electronics India (PCE India) will be headed by senior vice-president,

consumer electronics, Rajeev Karwal, and will have its own management

team.

The new organisation is being carved out to make it work as a separate profit

centre. The supply chain is being simplified and the sales structure

reorganised to help the company face competition.

The second-tier management in PCE India comprises the controller, food and

administration, the HR manager, marketing, sales, integrated supply chain

managers, and services and industrial managers.

According to a circular, the PCE India organisation has come into effect from

April 3, 2000. The organisational structure for PCE India is headed by the

general manager, PCE India.

Karwal-who retains his existing role as senior vice-president, consumer

electronics, in Philips India-said: "The sales structure has been simplified by

introducing a branch sales concept and dismantling the regional sales

concept." The idea behind the branch sales concept is to monitor the

profitablity of every centre.

It is, however, not clear whether the recast is a precursor to spinning off the

division into a separate company. Both Philips India managing director K

Ramachandran and Karwal denied any intention of forming a new company.

They said that this move was merely intended as an organisational recast for

robust growth. When attention was drawn to the rechristening of the

consumer electronics division as PCE India, they said: "It is merely a loose

terminology and not the name of a new company." Dutch giant Philips NV Summer Pro jec t

33

Page 38: Philips

holds 51 per cent in Philips India, while domestic financial institutions hold 20

per cent and foreign institutional investors 3 per cent. The remaining is with

the general public. PCE India is expected to function through a network of 19

branches with three to four executives in each branch. All the branch heads

will report directly to Karwal, who will be in charge of both the marketing and

manufacturing activities of the consumer electronics company.

The PCE India marketing division will consist of consumer, trade, TV

marketing, monitor marketing, audio and video marketing, and CDs

marketing. PCE India will set up branches in Chennai, Coimbatore,

Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kochi, Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, Ghaziabad,

Lucknow, Jaipur, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Indore, Calcutta,

Bhubaneshawar, Patna, and Guwahati. The

organisational recast is part of an overall

elaborate internal recast the company plans

to implement to enhance its profitabilty. The

consumer electronics division has CTVs, radio

sets, tape recorders, accessories for radio

sets, printed circuit boards, precision metal

piece parts, compact disc players, systems,

and combination sets. Philips India has a

complete range of audio, video, lighting, and

mobile communications products. While the

lighting division contributes 38 per cent of the

turnover, plastic metal factories contribute 5

per cent, the domestic appliances and

personal care division contributes 5 per cent, and others, like

mobilecommunications, contribute about 5 per cent. Philips is present in 60

countries, and is active in lighting, consumer electronics, domestic appliances,

components, semiconductors, medical systems, and information- technology

services.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths

• India was a market where the first mover enjoyed advantages over

latecomers.

• The first image of the product lasted long in the eyes of the consumer and

the

first to enter the market could gain the largest market share

• PHILIPS is committed to enhance its image to the Chinese market as

investors

• PHILIPS was building a wholly owned manufacturing plant in India to show

the

Chinese the commitment Korea had to the Chinese society.

• Labor costs in India were less and would defray the cost of producing high-

end

Summer Pro jec t

35

Page 40: Philips

• Samsung has been making color TVs for many years in Korea before moving

to

the Chinese market.

Weaknesses

• PHILIPS must continue to control all costs to maintain success

• India has a reputation of being a protected market (protectionism)

• India was a market where the first mover enjoyed advantages over late

comers,

PHILIPS is trying to overcome the first comer advantage Japan manufacturers

have over them by being those first comers

• Companies such as Sony and Matsushita had built sales and service

networks

that were favorable to their sales programs in India, while Samsung would

have

to catch up in that area

• Samsung is not as experienced in

manufacturing high-end TVs for a higher-

endmarket segment

Opportunities

• Based on the data that on 28% of the 220

million rural households own a color

TV. PHILIPS focus on the domestic India

market should be to penetrate the rural

household market, which would mean that for

those purposes the low-end

production of sets in the 13” to 20” range

should be produced to appeal to that

segment’s purchasing ability.

• Larger more high-end models can be produced to appeal to an urban

customerSummer Pro jec t

36

Page 41: Philips

in India, as well as being an export to the U.S. and European higher end

customers.

• With success in the higher-end manufacturing and sales of premium TVs in

India; PHILIPS can establish themselves as high-end producers around the

world

Threats

• PHILIPS faces intense competition in the color TV market

• A premium-priced product wouldn’t sell in large volumes, so pricing can be

a

problem.

• Since PHILIPS didn’t have an established marketing strategy, issues of how

to

market the product may arise.

• Loss of profitability because related to over-employment at most facilities

• Is the per capita income level such that it can support sales of product at

any

level

• If PHILIPS fails to be successful in the Chinese market with high-end

product it

will be known around the world • India was a market where the first mover

enjoyed advantages over late comers.

• The first image of the product lasted long in the eyes of the consumer and

REGULATING SYSTEM/

ENVIRONMENT FACTORS

Royal Philips Electronics has unveiled two

additions to its GreenChip family of

'energy-efficient ICs'— theGreenchi p PC

and the Greenchip SR.

TheGreenChip PC is an all-in-one chipset

designed to increase the overall efficiency

of desktop PC power supplies beyond 80

per cent. According to Philips, most

current desktop PC power supplies are

only 60 to 70 per cent efficient when

operating, converting 30 to 40 per cent of

the consumed AC power into heat. Power

supplies operating at 80 per cent efficiency or better can help save energy and

reduce electricity costs.

TheGreenChip PC also features a topology that makes compliance to energy

efficiency specifications, such as 80 PLUS and ENERGY STAR, easier and

more cost-effective for PC power supply manufacturers. The GreenChip PC is

based on Philips' patented technology that integrates the standby supply into

the main converter, thereby reducing the number of external components

required. Its local secondary regulation also solves primary-side feedback

issues and improves cross-regulation.

TheGreenChip SR, the company claims, is the only secondary control IC that

integrates both synchronous rectification and primary feedback/control

functionality. Used in notebook adapters, it is said to improve energy

efficiency by three to five per cent. This product also has a wide operation

range of 8.5V to 38V, thereby minimizing the number of required external

components and allowing simpler designs. Its 10V driver output likewise

makes the GreenChip SR compatible with all brands of MOSFETs.

Summer Pro jec t

Page 43: Philips

TheGreenChi p SR is already in the market, while samples of the GreenChip

PC

chipset, consisting of three ICs, will be available in Q2 of 2006.
