MorphoSys Group: 2nd Interim Report January – June 2007

3 Letter to the Shareholders

4 Interim Group Management Report

  • 11 Consolidated Statements of Operations (IFRS) for the Period Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
  • 12 Consolidated Balance Sheets (IFRS) as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006
  • 14 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity (IFRS) as of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006

Dear Shareholders,

During the first six months of 2007, MorphoSys´s business continued to perform positively. Group revenues increased by approximately 8%, from last year's € 26.5 million to € 28.6 million whereas Company operating profit decreased by 38% to € 3.5 million due to increased R&D spending.

A signficant event occurring in the second quarter was the filing of an IND (investigational new drug application) for a third HuCAL-based therapeutic antibody. More specifically, an undisclosed pharma partner filed all necessary documentation to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial in the therapeutic area of oncology, which triggered a clinical milestone payment to MorphoSys.

Another significant highlight of the second quarter occurred at the ASCO meeting in Chicago, USA, where MorphoSys presented preliminary preclinical data for MOR202, its proprietary therapeutic antibody of Morphosys, designed to treat Multiple Myeloma. At the conference, MorphoSys showed that in an in vivo animal model, MOR202 demonstrated superior efficacy in comparison to Velcade, one of the better therapeutic options for Multiple Myeloma patients currently on the market.

In May 2007, MorphoSys successfully placed 652,188 shares or 10% of the share capital to international institutional investors in Europe and North America, at a price of € 50.00 per share. The issue raised gross proceeds of approximately € 32.6 million raising the Company's cash balance to over € 100 million, and is intended in part to further expand the research antibody business.

In corporate related matters, the Annual Shareholders' Meeting took place in Munich in May. The shareholders confirmed the appointment of Dr. Walter Blättler, formerly Executive Vice President Science and Technology of ImmunoGen, Inc., to the MorphoSys Supervisory Board. Dr. Blättler replaces Prof. Dr. Andreas Plückthun, Professor of Biochemistry, University of Zurich, Switzerland, and co-founder of MorphoSys AG. Additionally, a three-for-one split of the Company's common stock was approved.

Thank you for your continued interest and support of MorphoSys.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Lemus Chief Financial Officer MorphoSys AG

Interim Group Management Report: January 1 – June 30, 2007

Industry Overview

The demand for human antibodies as a class of therapeutics continues to be strong, as described recently in MorphoSys's Annual Report 2006. This demand and the continued demand of pharma companies for innovative drugs and technologies were further illustrated by several acquisitions, such as Eisai's acquisition of Morphotek or Roche's takeover of Therapeutic Human Polyclonals (THP). Additionally, AstraZeneca acquired MedImmune in order to increase the portion of biological drugs in its pipeline. Within the research and diagnostic market, Beckman Coulter announced the acquisition of Biosite and Roche acquired BioVeris, both diagnostics companies.

The MorphoSys Share

During the second quarter, several biotech IPOs and secondary offerings competed for investors. To-date, overall biotechnology indices have underperformed the broader markets in 2007. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index in the first half of 2007 showed a slight plus of 0.5%, while in the same period, the German Prime Biotechnology Index increased in the same period by 5%. After six months, the German TecDAX was up by 25%, mainly driven by the positive development of the stocks of solar-energy companies. The MorphoSys share finished the second quarter of 2007 down 11% from year-end 2006. By comparison, a basket of international antibody companies (Source: BioCentury), also declined by 3%.

Financial Analysis

Revenues

Compared to the same period in the previous year, revenues increased by 8% to € 28.6 million in the first six months of 2007 (June 30, 2006: € 26.5 million). The increase is due to higher levels of funded research and licensing fees and stronger sales in the AbD segment. Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibodies segment accounted for 65% or € 18.7 million of total revenues while the AbD segment generated 35% (€ 9.9 million) of the total.

Geographically, 42%, or € 11.9 million, of MorphoSys's commercial revenues were generated with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies or non-profit organizations located in North America and 58%, or € 16.7 million, with companies located in Europe and Asia. This compares to 36% and 64%, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Therapeutic Antibodies Segment

Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibodies segment comprised € 14.7 million in funded research and licensing fees (2006: € 12.5 million) as well as € 4.0 million success-based payments (2006: € 5.0 million), representing 21% of total therapeutic revenues. Approximately 66% of therapeutic antibodies revenues and 43% of total revenues arose from the Company's three largest alliances with Novartis, Centocor and Pfizer (June 30, 2006: Novartis, Centocor and Roche, 69% and 45%, respectively).

Antibodies Direct – AbD Segment

Compared to the same period in the previous year, AbD segment's revenues increased by 10%, or € 0.9 million, to € 9.9 million in the first six months of 2007. The largest part of revenues (approx. 85%), or € 8.4 million, was generated with catalogue and industrial customers, while custom manufacture antibodies contributed 11% or € 1.1 million.

As of June 30, 2007, orders in the amount of € 1.0 million were classified as backorders in the segment.

Operating Expenses

For the first six months of 2007, total operating expenses increased by 20% to € 25.1 million. The rise in operating expenses of € 4.1 million was impacted by R&D expenses increasing by 33% or € 2.6 million, S, G&A expenses increasing by 15% or € 1.4 million and cost of goods sold increasing by 5% or € 0.2 million. Total PPA effects on operating profit amounted to € 0.7 million compared to € 0.8 million in the same period of the prior year.

Stock-based compensation expenses are embedded in COGS, S, G&A and R&D expense amounts. Stock-based compensation for the first six months of 2007 amounted to € 0.7 million (June 30, 2006: € 0.6 million), and is a non-cash charge.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold (COGS) is composed of the AbD segment's cost of goods sold during the first two quarters. COGS rose to € 4.2 million in H1 2007, compared to € 4.0 million in the same period of the prior year. This rise in COGS mainly resulted from higher sales levels during the current year.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs for research and development increased by € 2.6 million to € 10.5 million (June 30, 2006: € 7.9 million) mainly due to higher expenses for product and technology development and personnel costs. The two proprietary products currently being internally developed by MorphoSys are MOR 103 and MOR 202.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses amounted to € 10.5 million compared to € 9.1 million in the same period of the previous year. This change was mainly impacted by higher personnel costs due to increased accruals for variable compensation as well as by increased expenses for infrastructure.

Cost by Expenditure Type

For the first six months of 2007, personnel costs amounted to € 9.4 million (June 30, 2006: € 8.2 million) or 37% of total operating expenses, thus representing the largest cost block within operating expenses in the first half of 2007.

Expenses for external services, representing the second-largest block by cost type, mainly included external lab funding, consulting fees and marketing expenses and amounted to € 4.0 million (June 30, 2006: € 2.2 million) or 16% of total operating expenses.

Material costs mainly consisted of consumables, materials and goods employed and accounted for € 3.6 million (June 30, 2006: € 3.0 million) or 14% of total operating expenses.

Non-operating Items

Non-operating income amounted to € 0.2 million (June 30, 2006: expenses of € 0.1 million) and changed as a result of lower interest expenses and increased interest income compared to the same period in 2006. Profit before taxes amounted to € 3.7 million (June 30, 2006: profit before taxes of € 5.4 million).

Taxes

Expenses for current and deferred taxes in the amount of € 1.7 million (June 30, 2006: € 0.9 million) were recognized for the first six months of 2007. The deferred tax asset on tax loss carry-forwards established in 2006 was partially utilized in the first two quarters of 2007, resulting in both current and deferred tax expenses in the first half of 2007.

Operating Profit / Net Profit

Group operating profit amounted to € 3.5 million in the first six months of 2007 (June 30, 2006: € 5.6 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to € 3.5 million, compared to an EBIT of € 5.5 million in the same period of the previous year.

A net profit after taxes of € 2.0 million was achieved for the first six months of 2007, compared to a net profit after taxes of € 4.5 million in the same period of 2006. The resulting basic net profit per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007, amounted to € 0.30 (six months ended June 30, 2006: net profit per share of € 0.71).

Liquidity / Cash Flows

Cash flow from operations amounted to € 4.2 million in the first six months of 2007 (June 30, 2006: € 14.6 million). Investing activities resulted in a cash outflow of € 6.7 million whereas the cash inflow from financing activities amounted to € 32.0 million.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company held € 102.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and availablefor-sale financial assets, compared to a year-end 2006 balance of € 66.0 million. Funds were held in two high quality financial institutions, in predominately short-term maturity money funds.

Assets

Total assets rose by € 37.7 million to € 165.5 million as of June 30, 2007, compared to € 127.8 million as of December 31, 2006, mainly as a result of cash generated from the capital increase in May 2007 and cash generated from operations.

Liabilities

In the first six months of 2007, current liabilities decreased from € 18.3 million as of December 31, 2006, to € 17.6 million. This change primarily arose from a decrease in accounts payable which was partly offset by an increase in current deferred revenues. Deferred revenues rose due to payments deriving from contracts signed in the current and previous years.

During the first six months of 2007, an increase of total non-current liabilities by € 3.0 million to € 12.5 million was mainly impacted by non-current deferred revenues, resulting from contracts signed in current and previous years.

Equity

Total stockholders' equity amounted to € 135.4 million as of June 30, 2007, compared to € 100.1 million as of December 31, 2006.

As of June 30, 2007, the total number of shares issued amounted to 7,376,890, of which 7,350,158 were outstanding, compared to 6,715,322 and 6,686,160 as of December 31, 2006, respectively.

The increase of shares outstanding by 663,998 shares arose from the capital increase against cash successfully placed in May 2007 and from the conversion of bonds issued to employees as well as from exercised options. In the first half of 2007, 2,430 of the exercised options related to shares provided by treasury stock. Treasury shares were reduced, accordingly, amounting to 26,732 shares as of June 30, 2007.

Capital Expenditure

MorphoSys's investment in property, plant and equipment amounted to € 0.7 million for the first half of 2007, and increased by € 0.4 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment for the first six months of 2007 accounted for € 0.7 million, compared to € 0.9 million for the first half of 2006.

During the first six months of 2007, the Company invested € 0.6 million in intangible assets (June 30, 2006: € 0.2 million). Amortization of intangibles amounted to € 1.4 million and increased by € 0.1 million in comparison to the first six months of 2006.

Human Resources

Number and Qualification of Employees

On June 30, 2007 the MorphoSys Group employed 292 people (December 31, 2006: 279). On average, the MorphoSys Group employed 287 people for the first six months of 2007 (H1 2006: 254).

Of the 292 employees, 160 worked in research and development and 132 in sales, general and administration. On June 30, 2007, 69 of MorphoSys's employees had a Ph.D. degree (December 31, 2006: 59).

Of the 292 employees, 162 worked for the Therapeutic Antibodies segment and 130 for the AbD segment.

On June 30, 2007, MorphoSys had one apprenticeship position (December 31, 2006: 1).

Changes in the Supervisory Board

During the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on May 16, 2007, the shareholders confirmed the appointment of Dr. Walter Blättler, formerly Executive Vice President Science and Technology of ImmunoGen, to the MorphoSys Supervisory Board. Dr. Blättler replaces Prof. Dr. Andreas Plückthun, Professor of Biochemistry, University of Zurich, Switzerland, and co-founder of MorphoSys AG.

Legal Structure / Organization

As already communicated in the Q1 2007 Financial Report, MorphoSys has streamlined its corporate structure in order to increase administrative efficiency. The acquired Serotec companies were renamed MorphoSys UK Ltd. (Oxford, UK), MorphoSys US, Inc. (Raleigh, USA), and MorphoSys AbD GmbH (Dusseldorf, Germany). Furthermore, MorphoSys UK Ltd. (former Biogenesis Ltd.) was renamed Poole Real Estate Ltd.

The former Biogenesis, Inc. was merged into the former Serotec, Inc., and subsequently renamed MorphoSys US, Inc. (as per above).

Oxford Biotechnology Ltd. (Oxford, UK) is currently in liquidation.

Research & Development / Alliance Management

The following represents the progress made in proprietary antibody development and existing collaborations throughout the second quarter of 2007:

Therapeutic Antibodies Development

MOR103 – Development on Track

The development of MOR103 remains on track. MorphoSys intends to file all necessary documentation for a phase 1 trial in the second half of 2007.

MOR202 – Positive Interim Data Presented at ASCO

During the ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) meeting in Chicago in June 2007, MorphoSys presented preliminary preclinical data for MOR202. MOR202 is one of MorphoSys's internal development programs targeting the cell surface antigen CD38. CD38 expressed on various cancer types, including certain leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Especially in Multiple Myeloma (MM), which remains an incurable malignancy with a median survival time of 3-4 years, a strong expression has been reported in the majority of patients' tumor samples. By the end of 2006, a lead candidate (MOR202) was selected from several antibodies recognizing different epitopes on CD38 and subjected to in vitro and in vivo characterization. MOR202 exhibits a favorable binding activity, recognizes CD38 on many cell lines of different cancer origin and most importantly on all primary MM-patient samples tested so far. The MOR202 antibody has demonstrated that it is able to kill CD38-expressing cell lines and primary MM cells from patients efficiently in vitro. Finally, in an in vivo animal model, excellent efficacy could be

shown, resulting in significantly reduced tumour growth and overall survival, which was even superior to Velcade – a marketed drug for MM therapy – tested in the same model.

Clinical Milestone in Partnered Therapeutic Antibody Program

In June 2007, MorphoSys announced that an undisclosed partner has filed all necessary documentation to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial with a HuCAL-derived fully human antibody in the therapeutic area of oncology. This achievement marks the third fully human antibody developed with MorphoSys's core technology within its partnerships to enter human clinical trials and triggers a clinical milestone payment to MorphoSys.

Bristol-Myers Squibb (USA)

The research collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb, which was originally signed with DuPont Pharmaceuticals in August 1998, was successfully concluded at the end of June 2007.

In July 2000, the two companies announced an expansion of the existing agreement. Under the new agreement, Bristol-Myers Squibb extended its research license to MorphoSys's proprietary HuCAL antibody libraries and the two companies agreed to collaborate in developing a system for fully automated high-throughput antibody generation, called AutoCAL.

In January 2005, the existing license agreement was again expanded. Under the amended agreement, MorphoSys granted Bristol-Myers Squibb access to its HuCAL GOLD library for use in Bristol-Myers Squibb's pharmaceutical discovery programs for target characterization and validation, as well as for therapeutic and diagnostic antibody product development.

AbD Segment

Chemicon International, Inc.

In May 2007, the distribution agreement with Chemicon International, Inc., was early terminated in order to allow for modifications upon the acquisition of the Serotec Group.

Risk Report

In the normal course of business, MorphoSys is subject to a number of risks which are directly linked to the nature of its business. Apart from those risks as described below, all other risks have not changed materially, compared to the situation described in the Annual Report 2006.

Currency Risks

The Group accounts are administered in euros. Due to the nature of its international businesses, a significant portion of revenues and expenses are earned and incurred in currencies other than the euro. Although the euro is the most predominant currency, others, especially the US dollar, and the British pound, and to lesser degrees the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen may experience fluctuations in the exchange rate to the reporting currency of euro, thus impacting Group revenues. The Company examines the necessity of hedging foreign exchange transactions to minimize the currency risk during the year and attempts to address these risks by regularly employing derivative financial instruments. Nevertheless, gains and losses from hedging transactions impact the non-operating result.

Opportunities

The opportunities for the MorphoSys Group have not changed materially compared to the description in the Annual Report 2006.

Outlook

MorphoSys's financial guidance was confirmed in April 2007 on the occassion of the Q1 2007 results. Group guidance for the Company, which estimated full-year 2007 Group revenues between € 60 million and € 65 million, and an operating profit of € 7 million to € 10 million remain unchanged. Goals for the AbD segment have been slightly altered, more specifically, original estimates of an operating profit in this segment of approx. 5 to 10% of revenues have been altered to a range which includes profitability of up to 5% of operating profit.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

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

The consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2007, include MorphoSys AG, MorphoSys IP GmbH, MorphoSys USA, Inc., MorphoSys UK Ltd. (former Serotec Ltd.), MorphoSys US, Inc. (former Serotec, Inc.), MorphoSys AbD GmbH (former Serotec GmbH), Oxford Biotechnology Ltd., and Poole Real Estate Ltd. (former Biogenesis UK Ltd.), together referred to as the "Group".

1 Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied for the financial statements as of December 31, 2006 have been used throughout the first six months of 2007, except for the following changes:

Basis of Consolidation

All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method according to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", whereby identifiable assets 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. In January 2007, the accounting for the purchase price allocation in connection with the Serotec acquisition – hitherto only provisional – had been completed according to IFRS 3.62.

Corporation Tax Reform

The German "Bundesrat" decided on July 6, 2007 in his sitting about the corporation tax reform 2008. As part of the regulations being effective as of January 1, 2008 the corporation tax rate will be reduced from 25% to 15% with a moderate rise in the effective trade income tax rate. One of the refinancing measures is a limit with regard to the deductibility of business expenses. These new regulations will have effects on the Group, but are not recognized within this interim financial report.

2 Segment Reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services and 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

Review Report

To MorphoSys Aktiengesellschaft, Martinsried/Planegg

We have reviewed the interim consolidated financial statements - comprising the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes - and the interim group management report of MorphoSys Aktiengesellschaft, Martinsried/Planegg for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2007 which are part of the half year financial reports according to § 37 w Abs. 3 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report which has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on these interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.

We performed our review of the interim consolidated financial statements and the group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and conduct the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.
