Dear Shareholders,

During the first six months of 2005, the Company continued its successful financial development and remained on track to achieve its yearly goals. Revenues increased by 73% compared with the previous year to reach € 15.4 million, while the Company's cash position amounted to € 49.4 million at the end of the second quarter. MorphoSys recorded a net profit of € 1.8 million for the first six months of the year.

Extensions of existing partnerships continued in the second quarter, following expansions of the cooperation with Boehringer Ingelheim and with Bristol-Myers Squibb during the first quarter of 2005. More specifically, the partnership with ImmunoGen of many years' standing, was extended in April 2005.

During the second quarter, MorphoSys also reported on its internal development program MOR102 for the treatment of psoriasis. As part of this antibody program, MorphoSys commissioned a pre-clinical animal study to compare the efficacy of MOR102 with the two other approved drugs presently on the market. Due to the high rate of spontaneous healing in the control group, it was not possible to draw any conclusions from the study. The results highlight the complexities of pre-clincal development in a disease indication such as psoriasis, and is not a highly atypical outcome for such a study. However, based on the positive results of the first study, MorphoSys remains committed to pursuing the development and commercialization of MOR102 as a therapy for chronic inflammation.

On behalf of the Management Board and all our staff, I would like to express our gratitude for your continued support.

Dave Lemus Chief Financial Officer MorphoSys AG

Group Management Report Q2 2005

Industry Overview

Investor sentiment suffered a downturn in June 2005 as oil prices soared to over US\$ 60 per barrel for the first time. The broader stock market indices showed a mixed picture during the first six months of 2005, as evidenced by the DAX, EuroStoxx and Nikkei indices, which increased by approx. 8%, 7% and 1%, respectively; the Dow Jones dropped by approx. 4%.

While the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index fell by more than 7%, the Prime Pharma & Healthcare Index and Prime Biotechnology Index rose by approx. 11% and 8% respectively. Against this backdrop, MorphoSys fell by approx. 18% since the start of 2005, which was roughly in line with its international antibody company peers, whose average drop was approximately 23%. Events such as the failure of Tysabri presently serve to depress investor sentiment in the antibody space.

Financial Analysis

Revenues

Compared to the same period in the previous year, revenues increased by 73% to € 15.4 million in the first six months of 2005 (June 30, 2004: € 8.9 million). Reasons for the increase included revenues arising from new deals signed in Q2 2004 and success-based payments from existing collaborations including clinical and research milestones achieved in the first six months of 2005. The Biogenesis Group (Biogenesis), acquired in January 2005, contributed € 1.2 million revenues to consolidated turnover.

Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibody segment accounted for 88% of total revenues (€ 13.6 million) while 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 12% of the total (€ 1.8 million). The Antibody by Design unit contributed 33%, or € 0.6 million, of the total research antibody segment revenues, whilst 67% of segment revenues stemmed from the Biogenesis Group companies.

Geographically, 58% of MorphoSys' commercial revenues in the amount of € 8.9 million were generated with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies located in Europe and 42% in the United States and Canada. This compares to 31% and 69%, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS only arises in the Research Antibodies segment. It 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) currently exercised from application of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" under IFRS accounting.

For the first six months of 2005, COGS rose significantly to € 1.1 million compared to € 0.4 million in the same period in the prior year, leading to a gross profit of € 14.3 million (June 30, 2004: € 8.5 million). Reason for the increase was the inclusion of the Biogenesis Group into MorphoSys' Group accounts in the current year, which amounted to € 0.6 million including depreciation of fair value adjustments in the amount of € 0.1 million.

Other Operating Expenses

For the first six months of 2005, other operating expenses including stock-based compensation expense increased by 31% to € 12.2 million (June 30, 2004: € 9.3 million), while operating profit increased by € 2.7 million to an operating profit of € 2.0 million (June 30, 2004: operating loss of € 0.7 million). The increase in other operating expenses of € 2.9 million was mainly due to higher personnel-related and material costs in conjunction with new collaborations as well as increased intangibles expenses due to higher revenues, particularly in connection with a milestone payment achieved in the first quarter of 2005. The acquisition of the Biogenesis Group companies had the effect of increasing other operating expenses by € 0.8 million.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs for research and development increased by € 1.6 million to € 6.8 million (June 30, 2004: € 5.2 million). This increase resulted mainly from higher personnel-related costs and higher material expenses as a result of new cooperations signed during 2004, as well as increased license fees due to higher revenue and a milestone payment achieved in 2005. Reduced cost for external lab funding partly offset the above. Amortization of intangibles identified during the PPA amounted to € 0.2 million and were accounted for as other operating research and development cost.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to € 4.9 million compared with € 3.5 million in the same period of the previous year. This resulted mainly from higher personnel costs partly due to the contribution of Biogenesis, as well as increased business development advisory fees. Biogenesis' total contribution to sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to € 0.6 million for the first six months 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation in the amount of € 0.6 million for the first six months of 2005 was recorded as a non-cash charge (June 30, 2004: € 0.6 million) and remained unchanged, resulting from application of IFRS 2 "Share-based Payments" under IFRS accounting.

Cost by Expenditure Type

For the first six months of 2005, personnel costs (excluding expenses arising from stockbased compensation) amounted to € 4.7 million (June 30, 2004: € 3.5 million) or 35% of total operating expenses, thus representing the largest cost block within operating expenses in the first six months of 2005.

Intangible costs, which include patent litigation costs and amortization of licenses and patents, amounted to € 2.6 million (June 30, 2004: € 1.5 million), or 20% of the total in the first six months of 2005. External consultancy costs amounted to € 1.6 million (June 30, 2004: € 1.4 million), or 12% of total operating expenses. Cost for infrastructure and COGS accounted for € 1.3 million and € 1.1 million for the Q2 2005 accounts, respectively.

Non-Operating Items

Non-operating expenses amounted to € 0.2 million compared with € 0.5 million at June 30, 2004. Foreign exchange losses in the amount of € 0.4 million as well as interest expense in the amount of € 0.1 million were partly offset by realized gains from investments sold during the six-month period. Additional income in the amount of € 0.1 million stemming from the PPA by recognizing deferred tax income partly offset non-operating items.

Net Profit / Loss

Continuing the positive trend established in 2004, the Company presented an operating profit of € 2.0 million, contrasted to prior year's loss of € 0.7 million. A net income of € 1.8 million resulted for the first half of 2005 compared to a net loss of € 1.2 million in the first half of 2004. The inclusion of the Biogenesis Group net income impacted the net income by contributing a € 0.2 million loss for the first six months, stemming from fair value adjustments identified through the PPA and amortized. The resulting profit per share for the entire MorphoSys Group for the six months ended June 30, 2005 amounted to € 0.32 (six months ended June 30, 2004: net loss per share of € 0.24).

Liquidity / Cash Flows

On June 30, 2005, the Company held € 49.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities compared to a € 37.2 million balance at December 31, 2004. The increased cash position resulted mainly from a capital increase executed in March 2005 and from exercises of options and convertible bonds granted to management and employees. The cash inflow from operations contributed € 1.5 million to the same.

In the first six months of 2005, the Company's current assets increased by € 14.6 million to € 55.0 million compared to € 40.4 million at December 31, 2004 accordingly.

Assets

Total assets increased by € 23.1 million to € 78.9 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to € 55.8 million at December 31, 2004, mainly as a result of the increased cash position and acquisition of the Biogenesis Group's assets, including land and buildings in the amount of € 2.8 million, intangibles in the amount of € 2.2 million and acquired goodwill in the amount of € 4.2 million. The purchase price allocation resulting from 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 Q2 2005 and shown as deferred tax assets.

Liabilities

In the first six months of 2005, current liabilities increased from € 10.1 million at December 31, 2004 to € 11.0 million compared with the prior year. The increase arose primarily from increased accounts and licenses payable, partly offset by decreased current deferred revenue amounts. Accounts payable increased in part due to acquired accounts payable relating to Biogenesis. Licenses payable mainly increased as a result of higher revenues achieved in the first six months of 2005.

During the first two quarters of 2005, total non-current liabilities increased by € 2.1 million to € 8.4 million, mainly due to deferred tax liabilities deriving from the PPA and acquired longterm bank loans in conjunction with the acquisition of Biogenesis.

Equity

At June 30, 2005, the total number of shares issued was 5,960,510, of which 5,930,448 were outstanding, compared to 5,438,852 and 5,408,790 at 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 31,525 shares resulted from the exercise and conversion of bonds and options issued to employees during the first six months of 2005.

Capital Expenditure

MorphoSys' investment in property, plant and equipment amounted to € 0.3 million for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2005, compared to € 0.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Substantially, all investments were accomplished in Germany. Depreciation for the first six months of 2005 accounted for € 0.4 million compared to € 0.3 million in the same period of the prior year.

Human Resources

Number and Qualification of Employees

On June 30, 2005 the MorphoSys Group employed 173 people (December 31, 2004: 132). On average, the MorphoSys Group employed 168 people for the first six months of 2005 (December 31, 2004: 117).

Of the 173 employees, 133 worked in research and development and 40 in sales, general and administration.

Of total employees, 32 worked for the Biogenesis Group, of whom 18 were engaged in research and development, and 14 in sales, general and administration.

On June 30, 2005, MorphoSys employed 2 trainees as "technical information processors in the area of information technology" (December 31, 2004: 2).

Subsidiaries / Segments / Organizational Structure

MorphoSys's global headquarters is located in Martinsried, Munich, Germany. The Company's R&D center and all administrative departments are presently located at its headquarters. The Company possesses four wholly owned subsidiaries, MorphoSys U.S.A., Inc., MorphoSys IP GmbH, and the Biogenesis Group, which was acquired in January 2005:

Biogenesis U.K. Ltd. and Biogenesis U.S.A., Inc.

On January 20, 2005, MorphoSys acquired two privately held companies; Biogenesis Ltd. (Poole, U.K.) and its sister company Biogenesis, Inc. (Brentwood, New Hampshire, U.S.A.). The final agreements specified the purchase of 100% ownership of Biogenesis Ltd. and Biogenesis, Inc. by MorphoSys for £ 5.3 million in cash, less net debt of £ 0.7 million. The two Biogenesis companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of MorphoSys AG.

Research & Development / Partnered Research

MorphoSys uses its antibody technology both for the development of antibody therapeutics as well as the generation of reagents for research purposes and diagnostics agents. MorphoSys is currently active in two business segments:

1. Therapeutic Antibodies

MorphoSys has established a broad product pipeline of therapeutic antibody programs within the scope of commercial agreements with partners, in addition to own proprietary programs. During the second quarter of 2005, MorphoSys made progress in the following areas:

Proprietary Product Development

MorphoSys provided in April 2005 an update on its MOR102 antibody program for chronic inflammatory diseases. As part of this program MorphoSys commissioned a pre-clinical study to compare the effectiveness of MOR102 with that of the approved biologics Amevive® and Raptiva® in an animal model of psoriasis. Although therapeutic effects were observed for all tested compounds in several psoriatic skin samples, the in depth-analysis showed that it is not possible to discriminate on a statistically valid basis between compound-mediated effects and spontaneous healing observed in the negative control group. Hence, this study did not enable conclusions to be drawn regarding the efficacy of MOR102 versus Amevive® or Raptiva®. The Company announced that it would continue to pursue the development and commercialization of MOR102 in chronic inflammation.

Partnered Product Development

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company extended the following collaboration:

ImmunoGen, Inc.

In June 2005, MorphoSys announced that the U.S. biotechnology company, ImmunoGen Inc., licensed access to the MorphoSys HuCAL GOLD® library for use in ImmunoGen's internal target research programs. ImmunoGen will pay MorphoSys subscription fees during the one-year term of the agreement.

In June 2001, ImmunoGen and MorphoSys entered into a collaboration to use MorphoSys's previous version of the HuCAL® library (Human Combinatorial Antibody Library) in ImmunoGen's internal research programs. The four-year term of this prior agreement ended in May 2005. Furthermore, the two companies also have a separate collaboration, established in September 2000, to develop a fully human antibody against an ImmunoGen-provided cell-surface target associated with various forms of cancer.

2. Research Antibodies

The Research Antibodies unit focuses on the generation of HuCAL® antibodies for non-therapeutic applications. The range of products and services offered, presently marketed under the brands by Antibodies by Design and Biogenesis, target industrial and academic institutions requiring custom-generated antibodies for use in research and diagnostic applications.

Antibodies by Design announced the start of a joint project with ProQinase, a division of KTB Tumorforschungs GmbH at the Tumor Biology Center, Freiburg, the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen, which could transform the analysis of all human protein kinases - the human "kinome". The project combines the established protein kinase platform of ProQinase with the know-how of Antibodies by Design in the field of custom-made antibody generation and the experience of NMI with siRNA and Biochip technologies. In the coming three years, the project will be supported by approximately € 2.0 million within the scope of the BioChancePLUS Program of the German Federal Ministry of Research (BMBF).

Outlook

MorphoSys believes it is currently on track to achieve its goals for the current fiscal year. Financial guidance for 2005, which was announced at the beginning of the year, presently remains unchanged.

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 June 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 six months 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 and liabilities acquired 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 second 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 which have been estimated to be three to fifty years 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. All expenses of the business development department are allocated to the Therapeutic Antibodies segment.

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 and assets 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 internationally 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.

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

Contingencies 7

In June 2001, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Applied Molecular Evolution, Inc., ("AME") San Diego, California, U.S.A., 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's 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. Thereafter, based on the facts at issue, it will be determined whether the case can be decided by way of summary judgment or has to go to trial. As a result, no provisions for contingent liabilities have been made in the Company's financial statements.
