Compugen Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, July 26, 2006 - Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Alex Kotzer, President and CEO, stated, "In line with our previously disclosed commercial roadmap, we have now initiated further biological validation for five potential therapeutic molecules in anticipation of seeking licensing and co-development partners for those that successfully complete this next stage. These five candidates were chosen as the most promising potential products based on the initial biological evaluation of approximately seventy novel proteins and peptides previously predicted by our therapeutic protein discovery engine. The chosen molecules, with demonstrated functional biological activities, are therapeutic candidates mainly for various forms of cancer and autoimmune diseases. We are also on target with our commercial roadmap with respect to our diagnostic activities, where together with our partners for immunoassay diagnostics, more than ten partner-selected Compugen discovered cancer and cardiovascular disease related biomarkers are being evaluated, and we have begun discussing possible collaborations for our initial nucleic acid biomarker discoveries. These accomplishments, along with some exciting progress in our research and discovery unit were the highlights of a successful second quarter."

The Company has previously stated that its anticipated primary sources of future revenues are milestone and revenue sharing payments from licensing and other arrangements covering the development and marketing of diagnostic and therapeutic products based on the Companys discoveries. Subject to the successful attainment of milestones by the Companys partners, Compugen anticipates that it will begin to receive such payments from its existing arrangements by the end of this year or early next year, and that these revenues will increase substantially in the following years as products based on Compugen discovered molecules progress towards commercialization.

As anticipated, revenues for the second quarters of both 2006 and 2005 were not significant ($5,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and $70,000 for the second quarter of 2005). The net loss for the quarter was $3.6 million (including non-cash expense of $472,000 related to stock based compensation), or $0.13 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million (including non-cash income of $9,000 related to stock based compensation), or $0.12 per share, for the corresponding quarter of 2005.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $205,000, compared to $551,000 for the same period in 2005. The net loss for the first six months of 2006 was $6.7 million (including non-cash expense of $1 million related to stock based compensation), or $0.24 per share, compared with a net loss of $7.1 million (including non-cash income of $19,000 related to stock based compensation), or $0.25 per share, for the same period in 2005.

1

Research and development expenses of $3.0 million for the most recent quarter compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2005, remains the Company`s largest expense. Research and development expense for the first six months of 2006 were $5.7 million compared to $6.5 million for the comparable period in 2005. These amounts are before the deduction of governmental and other grants, which totaled $105,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared with $404,000 for the corresponding quarter in 2005, and $522,000 for the first six months of 2006 compared with $788,000 for the comparable period in 2005.

As of June 30, 2006, Compugen had $30.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, long term deposits, and marketable securities, a decrease of $6.4 million for the six months from December 31, 2006.
