AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER 29, 1998



                   PHILIPS CLOSES TENDER OFFER FOR ATL SHARES
                          OVER 90% ATL SHARES RECEIVED

Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands (AEX:PHI, NYSE:PHG) and ATL
Ultrasound (NASDAQ:ATLI) of the United States announced today that Philips has
closed its tender offer for ATL shares by accepting the tender of approximately
14 million shares, or 94% of all outstanding ATL shares. Under the terms of the
merger agreement announced by both companies on July 29, 1998, ATL will become
part of Philips and an affiliate of Philips Medical Systems. The transaction is
valued at approximately $800 million, or $50.50 per ATL share.

Philips Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Philips, accepted for
payment all ATL shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
expiration of the offer, including approximately 357,300 shares tendered
pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery. The tender offer expired at midnight
EDT on Monday, September 28, 1998. Philips will complete its acquisition of ATL
by means of a merger of ATL with Philips Acquisition, Inc., in which the
remaining ATL shares will be converted into the right to receive $50.50 per
share in cash. The merger is expected to be completed by Friday, October 2,
1998.

"We welcome ATL as our worldwide headquarters for Philips' ultrasound business,"
said Hans (J.M.) Barella, Chairman and CEO of Philips Medical Systems. "We can
now offer our customers a complete range of state-of-the-art imaging modalities
and services. ATL is the undisputed technology and market leader in all-digital
ultrasound and holds a commanding share of the worldwide installed base of
all-digital systems. We acquired ATL for its excellence and success and we are
committed to ATL retaining its well-established identity within the Philips
organization. ATL will continue to be fully responsible for its business and its
products."

"This begins a new era for ATL," said Dennis C. Fill, ATL Chairman and CEO. "The
dedication and talent of ATL employees has increased this company's annual
revenues from approximately

$150 million to $450 million during its 12 year history as a public company. Our
success has come from challenging and expanding the diagnostic realm of medical
ultrasound. With the Philips merger, we join with a global leader in diagnostic
imaging and gain additional resources from which to further our goals and better
serve customers."

ATL began as a marine electronics company in 1967. Through a technology transfer
from the University of Washington, ATL introduced its first medical ultrasound
system in 1975. ATL became the first company to introduce all-digital medical
ultrasound system in 1987. Since that time, ATL has maintained an important
competitive lead in digital broadband ultrasound technology and is now in its
fifth generation of all-digital technology. The company's technology leadership
has led to its selection by NASA for the International Space Station and the
first and only U.S. FDA approval for the use of ultrasound in the
differentiation of benign from malignant breast tumors, thereby reducing the
need to perform biopsy.

ATL, with headquarters near Seattle, Washington USA, is a worldwide leader in
the development, manufacture, distribution and service of diagnostic medical
ultrasound systems. With approximately 50% of revenues coming from international
markets, the company serves customers in over 100 countries through 15
subsidiaries and an extensive distributor network. Press releases and other
corporate information are available on ATL's Web site at http://www.atl.com.
