Dear Shareholders,

MorphoSys' business activities continued to develop positively during the third quarter of this year.

In the third quarter, the company was pleased to announce that for the first time in its history as a public company, it had settled all outstanding intellectual property disputes. More specifically, in September, MorphoSys settled a four-year pending patent dispute with AME/Eli Lilly. Under a cross license agreement, MorphoSys received a license for the Kauffman patents owned by Lilly, and in return, Lilly received access to the HuCAL GOLD® technology for research purposes. Under the deal terms, Lilly has become another MorphoSys commercial partner and receives options to develop therapeutic antibodies and purchase antibody research reagents from MorphoSys.

Solid progress in other areas of the Company was also evident in the third quarter. In September, MorphoSys signed a three-year cooperation agreement with the Japanese pharmaceuticals group Shionogi. The agreement with Shionogi is the first significant step towards penetrating the Japanese market – the second largest pharmaceuticals market in the world.

With existing partners, the product pipeline continues to make steady progress. In only eleven months, MorphoSys completed its first antibody project in the Novartis cooperation. Furthermore, in the MorphoSys – Centocor cooperation, Centocor initiated another antibody project. In October 2005, MorphoSys started three new antibody programs within its collaboration with Schering, bring a total number of active projects between the companies to six antibody therapeutics.

Against the background of this strong growth, the Company has continued to strengthen and build its management team. Dr. Robert Friesen joined MorphoSys as Director of Pre-clinical Development. Dr. Friesen's appointment will aid the Company in determining the future composition and direction of Company's portfolio of own therapeutic antibody projects. Beyond this, the Company has also appointed Dr. Bernhard Erning as Director of Treasury & Corporate Development, reporting to the CFO. In this role, Dr. Erning will provide support in matters regarding treasury and mergers/acquisitions.

Thank you for your continued interest in our Company.

Dave Lemus Chief Financial Officer MorphoSys AG

Group Management Report Q3 2005

Industry Overview

The stock markets presented a mixed picture during the third quarter. The continued upwards development of U.S. interest rates and oil prices, the hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the U.S.A. as well as the outcome of the German political elections were challenging messages for the international capital markets.

Despite these news, the development on the German stock markets was positive. The DAX rose to over 5,000 points and achieved a new three-year high. Since the beginning of the year, the DAX has risen by 19%, the EuroStoxx Index by 18%. During the same period, the Nikkei Index rose by 18% and the Dow Jones Index decreased by 2%.

With regard to the biotech markets, the German Prime Biotechnology Index rose by 20% since the beginning of the year. The NASDAQ Biotech Index rose by 2% since the beginning of the year. On the back of positive newsflow, the share price increased by 22% during the third quarter, thus returning to its level at the onset of the year.

Financial Analysis

Revenues

Compared to the same period in the previous year, revenues increased by 52% to € 23.8 million in the first nine months of 2005 (September 30, 2004: € 15.7 million). Reasons for the increase included revenues arising from new deals signed in 2004 in addition to successbased payments from existing collaborations, which included clinical and research milestones achieved in the first nine months of 2005. Geographically, 60% of MorphoSys' commercial revenues in the amount of € 14.2 million were generated with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies located in Europe and 40% in the United States and Canada. This compares to 38% and 62%, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Therapeutic Antibodies

Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibody segment accounted for 87% of total revenues (€ 20.7 million). This total comprises € 16.4 million funded research and paid license fees and € 4.3 million success fees.

Research Antibodies

The Research Antibody segment, comprising MorphoSys´ Antibodies by Design unit and the Biogenesis Group companies in the U.S.A. and the U.K., generated 13% (€ 3.1 million) of total revenues. The Biogenesis Group (Biogenesis), acquired in January 2005, contributed € 2.2 million revenues, or 71% of the total segment revenues. The Antibodies by Design unit, based in Munich, contributed the remaining 29%, or € 0.9 million, of the total Research Antibody segment revenues.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS only arise in the Research Antibodies segment. This item is composed of cost of goods sold of the Antibodies by Design unit and Biogenesis as well as depreciation of the fair value adjustment of Biogenesis' stock, which was identified by the purchase price allocation (PPA).

For the first nine months of 2005, COGS rose to € 1.9 million compared to € 0.7 million in the same period of the prior year, resulting in a gross profit of € 1.2 million for the Research Antibody segment (September 30, 2004: loss of € 0.1 million) and € 22.0 million for the MorphoSys Group (September 30, 2004: € 15.1 million) respectively. Reason for the increase of COGS was the inclusion of Biogenesis into MorphoSys Group's accounts in the current year, which amounted to € 1.1 million including depreciation of fair value adjustments in the amount of € 0.1 million.

Other Operating Expenses

For the first nine months of 2005, other operating expenses including stock-based compensation expenses increased by 30% to € 18.1 million (September 30, 2004: € 13.9 million), while operating profit increased by € 2.6 million to € 3.8 million (September 30, 2004: € 1.2 million). The total increase in operating expenses of € 4.2 million was mainly due to higher personnelrelated and material costs in conjunction with new collaborations as well as increased expenses for intangibles. The acquisition of the Biogenesis Group companies had the effect of increasing other operating expenses by € 1.2 million.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs for research and development increased by € 1.7 million to € 9.9 million (September 30, 2004: € 8.2 million). This increase mainly resulted from higher success-based license fees as well as the inclusion of the Eli Lilly cross licensing agreement signed in the third quarter of 2005. Personnel expenses and material costs further increased costs for research and development as a result of new cooperations signed during 2004.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to € 7.4 million and compared with € 5.0 million in the same period of the previous year. This effect mainly resulted from higher personnel costs partly due to the contribution of Biogenesis as well as increased costs for external marketing and legal services. Biogenesis' total contribution to sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to € 1.0 million for the first nine months of 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation in the amount of € 0.9 million for the first nine months of 2005, resulting from application of IFRS 2 "Share-based Payments" under IFRS accounting, was recorded as a non-cash charge (September 30, 2004: € 0.8 million) and remained almost unchanged.

Cost by Expenditure Type

For the first nine months of 2005, personnel costs (excluding expenses arising from stockbased compensation) amounted to € 7.2 million (September 30, 2004: € 5.5 million) or 40% of total operating expenses, thus representing the largest cost block within operating expenses in the first nine months of 2005.

Costs for intangibles, which include patent litigation costs and amortization of licenses and patents, amounted to € 3.9 million (September 30, 2004: € 2.4 million) or 22% of the total in the first nine months of 2005. External consultancy costs amounted to € 2.0 million (September 30, 2004: € 2.0 million) or 11% of total operating expenses and mainly consisted of marketing expenses, legal costs, costs for tax, audit and accounting and general consulting. Costs for infrastructure accounted for € 1.9 million, compared to € 1.6 million in the prior year.

Non-Operating Items

Non-operating income amounted to € 0.0 million compared to non-operating expenses of € 0.2 million as of September 30, 2004. Gains from available-for-sale securities in the amount of € 0.5 million and tax benefits in the amount of € 0.2 million were offset mainly by losses from foreign exchange (€ 0.5 million) and interest expenses (€ 0.2 million).

Net Profit

Continuing the positive trend established in 2004, the Company presented a net profit of € 3.9 million, compared to prior year's net profit of € 1.0 million. The inclusion of Biogenesis' net result impacted the net profit by contributing € 0.2 million loss for the first nine months. The resulting profit per share for the entire MorphoSys Group for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, amounted to € 0.68 (September 30, 2004: Profit per share of € 0.18).

Liquidity / Cash Flows

On September 30, 2005, the Company held € 50.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities compared to a € 37.2 million balance as of December 31, 2004. The increased cash item resulted mainly from a capital increase executed in March 2005. The cash inflow from operations contributed € 1.8 million to the same.

Assets

Total assets increased by € 23.6 million to € 79.4 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared to € 55.8 million as of December 31, 2004, mainly as a result of the increased cash and the acquisition of the Biogenesis Group's assets, including property and equipment in the amount of € 2.7 million, intangibles in the amount of € 2.1 million and acquired goodwill in the amount of € 4.2 million. The purchase price allocation resulting from the application of IFRS 3 currently exercised is reflected in the Group accounts (see also Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – section 5). Tax benefits of € 0.3 million arising from share issuance costs charged to equity were recognized in Q3 2005 and shown as deferred tax asset.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable increased by € 2.7 million to € 5.0 million in comparison to year end 2004 (December 31, 2004: € 2.3 million). Accounts receivable attributable to the Therapeutic Antibody segment (€ 3.7 million) accounted for 74% of total accounts receivable. The Research Antibody segment represented € 0.8 million or 16% of total accounts receivable, whereas the Biogenesis Group and the Antibodies by Design unit contributed € 0.6 million and € 0.2 million, respectively, to this item.

Liabilities

In the first nine months of 2005, current liabilities increased from € 10.1 million as of December 31, 2004, to € 10.4 million. The increase arose primarily from higher licenses payable, associated with success-based license payments, which was partly offset by decreased current deferred revenue amounts.

Equity

As of September 30, 2005, the total number of shares issued was 5,997,613, of which 5,967,551 were outstanding, compared to 5,438,852 and 5,408,790 as of December 31, 2004, respectively.

The increase arose from the issuance of 490,133 shares in connection with a capital increase in March 2005. An additional increase of 68,628 shares resulted from the exercise and conversion of bonds and options issued to related parties during the first nine months of 2005.

Capital Expenditure

MorphoSys' investment in property, plant and equipment amounted to € 0.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to € 1.2 million for the same period of the prior year. Investments in intangibles amounted to € 0.1 million and remained unchanged. Depreciation for the first nine months of 2005 accounted for € 0.6 million compared to € 0.5 million in the same period of the prior year.

Human Resources

Number and Qualification of Employees

As of September 30, 2005, the MorphoSys Group employed 170 people (December 31, 2004: 132). On average, the MorphoSys Group employed 169 people for the first nine months of 2005 (December 31, 2004: 117).

Of the 170 employees, 126 worked in research and development and 44 in sales, general and administration.

Of total employees, 28 worked for the Biogenesis Group, of whom 11 were engaged in research and development, and 17 in sales, general and administration.

As of September 30, 2005, MorphoSys employed 1 trainee as "technical information processor in the area of information technology" (December 31, 2004: 2).

During the third quarter, all outstanding litigation associated with the departure of ex-Chief Scientific Officer Thomas von Rüden was settled in an out-of-court settlement.

Research & Development / Partnered Research

1. Therapeutic Antibody Segment

The Company signed the following new collaborations or made further progress in the following existing collaborations (in alphabetical order):

Centocor, Inc. (U.S.A.)

In September 2005, Centocor Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, elected a new target molecule involved in immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, against which MorphoSys will generate antibodies using its proprietary HuCAL GOLD® technology. Centocor will carry out

pre-clinical and clinical development and subsequent marketing of resulting products. In exchange, MorphoSys stands to receive licensing and milestone payments, in addition to royalties.

Novartis AG (Switzerland/USA)

MorphoSys announced in August 2005 the conclusion of a first therapeutic antibody program with Novartis. MorphoSys generated numerous fully human antibodies fulfilling previously defined success criteria against a cancer disease-related target molecule from Novartis, and thus achieved the first performance-related milestone in the cooperation. The amount of the associated milestone payment made to MorphoSys was not disclosed. The project work commenced in September 2004 and was completed within 11 months.

Shionogi & Co., Ltd. (Japan)

MorphoSys and Shionogi & Co., Ltd., announced in September 2005 that they signed a threeyear license agreement on the use of MorphoSys' HuCAL® technology. Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys granted Shionogi access to its HuCAL GOLD® antibody library for use in Shionogi's pharmaceutical drug discovery programs. In return, MorphoSys stands to receive an up-front payment and annual user fees during the life span of the agreement. During the three-year term of the agreement, Shionogi will have access to the MorphoSys HuCAL GOLD® library at one of its research sites.

Intellectual Property

In September 2005, MorphoSys signed a cross license agreement with the pharmaceutical group Eli Lilly & Company concerning the use of certain recombinant protein technologies. The agreement allows MorphoSys rights to the Kauffman patents. At the same time, the agreement grants Lilly a license to use MorphoSys's HuCAL GOLD® technology in its own internal research and development programs over a certain period of time. This agreement stems from the patent dispute with Applied Molecular Evolution (AME), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lilly Group, initiated by AME against MorphoSys in 2001.

2. Research Antibodies

In September 2005, Antibodies by Design announced that a number of completely human, recombinant research antibodies from the HuCAL GOLD® antibody library were to be incorporated into the Biogenesis Group's sales catalog. The recombinant research antibodies were identified by Antibodies by Design during active research collaboration and proactively developed by Biogenesis against target molecules for which there is clear demand from potential new customers.

Outlook

At the time of the finalization of this report, the financial guidance for the business year 2005 was still under review. On the occasion of the publication of the Q3 results 2005, the financial guidance will be updated if, and as required.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – unaudited

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board, London, in consideration of interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

The consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2005, include MorphoSys AG, MorphoSys IP GmbH, MorphoSys USA, Inc., Biogenesis, Inc., and Biogenesis Ltd. (together referred to as the "Group").

Changes in Accounting Policies 1

The accounting policies applied for the financial statements as of December 31, 2004, have been used throughout the first nine months of 2005, except for the following changes:

Basis of Consolidation

The equity of the subsidiaries is consolidated according to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method, whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured initially at their fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is subject to a regular review for possible impairment.

The Company determined the accounting for business combinations in the third quarter 2005 only provisionally. The Company is currently performing a purchase price allocation. The outcome may result in an adjustment of the goodwill following IFRS 3.62, any adjustments to the provisional values will be recognized within twelve months of the acquisition date (IFRS 3.69). Please see note 5 for detailed information.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold comprises the cost of manufactured products and the acquisition cost of purchased goods which have been sold.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of manufacturing or acquisition cost and net realizable value on the FIFO basis. Manufacturing cost of self-constructed inventories comprises all costs which are directly attributable and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Replacements and improvements are capitalized while general repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Assets are depreciated with their expected useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Segment Reporting

General and administrative expenses are allocated to the respective business segments by applying an allocation along the headcount. Intangibles attributable to both segments are allocated along revenues.

Segment Reporting 2

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments.

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's business and geographical segments. The primary format, business segments, is based on the Group's management and internal reporting structure. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

The Group consists of the following main business segments:

Therapeutic Antibodies

MorphoSys possesses one of the leading technologies in the generation of human antibody therapeutics and bespoke antibody research projects. The Company makes use of its technology in collaborations with international pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

Research Antibodies

The reagent business leverages MorphoSys' core technological capabilities in the design and manufacture of antibodies for research purposes. It commercializes HuCAL® technology focusing on the custom generation of research antibodies for partners on an individual basis.

Geographical Segments

In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, revenue is based on the geographical location of the customers.

New Research & Development Agreements 7

In June 2001, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Applied Molecular Evolution, Inc., ("AME") San Diego, California, U.S.A., (a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly & Company) at the United States District Court of Massachusetts in Boston/U.S.A., alleging that the Company infringes the Kauffman-Ballivet patent family. These patents cover the stochastic production of proteins and were granted in the late 1990s. In January 2003 MorphoSys confirmed that it had received a positive "Report and Recommendation" from the Magistrate Judge to the District Judge for the District Court in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., in the legal action filed by Applied Molecular Evolution. The Magistrate Judge recommended that MorphoSys' motion for summary judgment of non-infringement be allowed and that AME's motion for partial summary judgment of infringement be denied. In September 2004, the District Judge issued a "Memorandum and Order" wherein he declined to adopt the recommendation and denied the summary judgment motions. Instead he ordered that a Markman hearing, which took place on April 1st, 2005, for claim construction should be held. In September 2005, MorphoSys announced a cross license agreement with Eli Lilly & Company (Lilly) on the use of certain recombinant protein technologies. This agreement is part of a settlement to resolve the above mentioned patent litigation with AME. Under the agreement, MorphoSys receives a license under the Kauffman patent estate to generate and screen certain recombinant peptide and protein libraries and to commercialize any resulting products. The agreement also provides Lilly access to the MorphoSys HuCAL GOLD® technology for Lilly's internal research & development programs. For any therapeutic antibodies Lilly develops under the agreement, it will pay MorphoSys exclusive licensing fees, success fees, milestone payments and royalties on end products. The settlement agreement covers MorphoSys' and it's partners past, present and future use and commercialization of all versions of its HuCAL® libraries, as well as its TRIM technology. The agreement also gives Lilly access under agreed terms to Antibodies by Design, MorphoSys' business unit focusing on development of custom monoclonal antibodies for non-therapeutic purposes.

In September 2005, MorphoSys signed a three year license agreement with Shionogi & Co., Ltd. (Shionogi) on the use of MorphoSys' HuCAL® technology. Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys grants Shionogi access to its HuCAL GOLD® antibody library for use in Shionogi's pharmaceutical drug discovery programs. In return, MorphoSys stands to receive an up-front payment and annual user fees during the life span of the agreement.
