HOLDERS REPORT

THE SHARE- MANAGEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

During the first six months of 2009, MorphoSys's business demonstrated progress on multiple fronts.

On the partnered side of MorphoSys's therapeutic business, two partners, namely Novartis and Centocor Ortho Biotech, advanced HuCAL-based antibody programs into clinical trials. Presently six of our partnered programs are in the clinic, and two more antibody programs could enter the clinic during the second half of the year.

Additionally, on the partnered side of our business, MorphoSys achieved an important milestone relating to technology development in July. As a result Novartis agreed to a full 10-year term of its collaboration with MorphoSys, thereby allowing MorphoSys to secure in excess of € 120 million committed revenues over the duration of the two companies' strategic partnership.

Progress on the partnered side of our business was matched by progress in our proprietary development activities. Having finalized and reported the data of the phase 1 clinical trial for our lead compound MOR103, we filed for a subsequent phase 1b/2a study in patients which is expected to start in the second half of the year.

Our third business segment, AbD Serotec, continued its solid performance from the first quarter. The segment continued to gain visibility in the diagnostic industry and foreign exchange rates thus far this year have developed in favor of the segment compared to the same period of the prior year.

Looking ahead, the Company will extend its segment reporting from two segments to three. In that vein, MorphoSys will as of the current quarter, report in three separate operating segments: Partnered Discovery, Proprietary Development and AbD Serotec. The first two of the aforementioned segments were previously combined as the "Therapeutic Antibodies segment". The split of these two segments mirrors our goal to stress the growing importance of MorphoSys's proprietary drug development activities as one of our Company's core competencies.

On a Group level, revenues for the first six months ended June 30, 2009 were broadly in line with the Company's expectations to meet full year guidance of € 80 million to € 85 million. Revenues for the first six months were € 37.9 million, a 14% increase over the same period in the previous year while operating profits came in at € 6.6 million.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Lemus Chief Financial Officer MorphoSys AG

Interim Group Management Report: January 1 – June 30, 2009

Industry Overview

In the second quarter of 2009, major antibody-related transactions included Celldex's proposed acquisition of cancer antibody company Curagen in a stock-for-stock transaction, which valued CuraGen at approximately US\$ 95 million. Additionally, Johnson & Johnson decided to acquire Elan's Alzheimer's Immunotherapy Program including the late-stage anti-Amyloid beta antibody Bapineuzumab via an equity investment in Elan equivalent to roughly US\$ 1 billion.

Significant licensing deals included an alliance in the area of infectious diseases between Merck & Co. and Medarex targeting Clostridium difficile infections, an agreement between Sanofi-Aventis and Kyowa Hakko Kirin covering an anti-inflammatory antibody against a member of the TNF-alpha pathway and Glaxo SmithKline's early-stage deal with Oxford Biotherapeutics covering a portfolio of cancer targets which can be addressed with antibodies.

Looking at product-related newsflow, the FDA approved the anti-TNF antibody Simponi® for rheumatoid arthritis while Avastin® was approved for glioblastoma, a very aggressive form of primary brain tumors, as an additional indication for the anti-VEGF antibody. Novartis received FDAapproval for Canakinumab (Ilaris® ), an antibody targeting interleukin-1 beta for the treatment of children and adults with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. In Europe, the European Commission has approved Removab® , an antibody derivative developed by Fresenius Biotech and Munich-based Trion Pharma for treatment of ovarian cancer. With regard to late-stage development programs, Roche reported that Avastin® failed to meet its primary endpoint in a phase 3 trial for early-stage colon cancer. Medarex and the Mayo Clinic reported that the anti-CTLA-4 antibody Ipilimumab contributed to the full recovery of two patients with prostate cancer deemed inoperable.

Looking at the private biotechnology sector, Novimmune, a Swiss-based drug discovery and development company with a focus on therapeutic antibodies for inflammatory diseases and immunerelated disorders, secured Europe's largest venture capital financing round in 2009 with US\$ 54.8 million.

MorphoSys Share Price Performance

Driven by positive operational performance and news flow, the MorphoSys share price increased during the second quarter by 28%. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index increased during the quarter by 12%, the TecDAX by 29%, and the DAXsubsector Biotechnology Performance Index increased by 12%. By comparison, a basket of international antibody companies (Source: BioCentury) increased by 22%. Year-to-date, MorphoSys's share price fell 9% at the end of the second quarter.

Financial Analysis

Revenues

Compared to the same period of the previous year, Group revenues increased by 14% to € 37.9 million in the first six months of 2009 (H1 2008: € 33.3 million). This increase is due to both higher levels of funded research, licensing fees and success-based revenues in the Partnered Discovery segment as well as stronger revenues in the AbD segment. Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibodies segments accounted for 76% or € 28.6 million (H1 2008: € 24.7 million) of total revenues while the AbD segment generated 24% (€ 9.7 million) of the total revenues (H1 2008: € 9.0 million).

Geographically, 22% or € 8.3 million, of MorphoSys's commercial revenues were generated with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies or non-profit organizations located in North America and 78%, or € 29.6 million, with companies located mainly in Europe and Asia. This compares to 18% and 82%, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development Segments

Revenues arising from the Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development segments comprised € 22.7 million in funded research and licensing fees (H1 2008: € 21.6 million) as well as € 5.4 million success-based payments (H1 2008: € 2.7 million), representing 19% of total Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development revenues. Approximately 85% of Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development revenues and 63% of total revenues arose from the Company's three largest alliances with Novartis, Daiichi Sankyo and Pfizer (H1 2008: Novartis, Daiichi Sankyo and Merck, 86% and 62%, respectively).

Assuming constant foreign exchange rates at the average rate of 2008, revenues in the Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development segments would have totaled € 27.8 million.

Revenue Development by Segment (in € million)

AbD Serotec Segment

Compared to the same period of the previous year, AbD Serotec segment's revenues increased by 8%, or € 0.7 million, to € 9.7 million in 2009 (H1 2008: € 9.0 million). Assuming constant foreign exchange rates at the average rate for 2008, revenues in the AbD segment would have amounted to € 9.8 million.

The largest part of revenues (approx. 81% or € 7.9 million) was generated with catalog and industrial customers (H1 2008: approx. 81% or € 7.3 million), while custom manufacture antibodies contributed 19% or € 1.8 million (H1 2008: 19% or € 1.7 million).

As of June 30, 2009, orders in the amount of € 1.9 million were classified as backorders in the segment (June 30, 2008: € 1.0 million).

Operating Expenses

Compared to the first six months of 2008, total operating expenses increased by approximately 24% to € 31.3 million in 2009 (H1 2008: € 25.3 million). The change in operating expenses of € 6.0 million was mainly impacted by research and development (R&D) expenses increasing by 56% or € 6.4 million which was partly offset by sales, general and administrative (S, G&A) expenses decreasing from € 10.2 million to € 10.0 million. Cost of goods sold (COGS) decreased from € 3.5 million to € 3.3 million. Total purchase price allocation (PPA) effects on operating profit amounted to € 0.3 million (H1 2008: € 0.4 million).

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 2009 amounted to € 0.8 million (H1 2008: € 0.6 million) and is a non-cash charge.

Cost of Goods Sold

COGS is composed of the AbD segment's cost of goods sold in the first six months of 2009 and – compared to the same period of the prior year – decreased from € 3.5 million to € 3.3 million.

Research and Development Expenses

In the first six months of 2009, expenses for research and development increased by € 6.5 million to € 18.0 million (H1 2008: € 11.5 million). This was mainly due to higher costs for external lab funding (H1 2009: € 4.7 million; H1 2008: € 0.9 million), as well as increased personnel costs in research and development both associated with proprietary drug development (H1 2009: € 7.1 million; H1 2008: € 5.1 million).

LETTER TO GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7 THE SHARE- M A N A G E M E N T HOLDERS R E P O R T

In the first six months of 2009, the Company incurred costs for proprietary product development (excluding allocations for segment purposes) and technology development in the amount of € 7.8 million and € 0.2 million, respectively (H1 2008: € 2.0 million and € 0.3 million, respectively).

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Compared to the same period of the previous year, sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by € 0.2 million to € 10.0 million (H1 2008: € 10.2 million).

Development of Operating Expenses (in € million)

Cost by Expenditure Type

In the first six months of 2009, personnel costs (excluding stock-based compensation) amounted to € 12.3 million (H1 2008: € 10.4 million) or 39% of total operating expenses, thus representing the largest cost block within operating expenses.

Expenses for external services, representing the second-largest block by cost type, amounted to € 6.8 million (H1 2008: € 3.3 million) or 22% of total operating expenses and included external lab funding (H1 2009: € 4.7 million; H1 2008: € 0.9 million) and consulting fees (H1 2009: € 0.8 million; H1 2008: € 1.4 million).

Costs for intangibles accounted for € 4.1 million (H1 2008: € 4.1 million) or 13% of total operating expenses and mainly consisted of expenses for licenses (H1 2009: € 2.1 million; H1 2008: € 2.0 million) as well as amortization of licenses capitalized (H1 2009: € 1.2 million; H1 2008: € 1.2 million).

Non-operating Items

For the first six months of 2009, non-operating items included mainly finance income of € 1.1 million (H1 2008: € 1.3 million), other income of € 0.2 million (H1 2008: € 0.3 million) and other expenses of € 0.2 million (H1 2008: € 0.5 million). Finance income mainly comprised realized gains from marketable securities.

Taxes

For the first six months of 2009, the Company reported income tax expenses in the amount of € 2.7 million. This line item mainly included deferred tax expenses (€ 1.0 million) from the release of deferred tax assets capitalized in 2007 and current tax expenses (€ 1.6 million).

Operating Profit / Net Profit

Group operating profit for the first six months of 2009 amounted to € 6.6 million (H1 2008: € 8.0 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to € 7.5 million, compared to an EBIT of € 8.4 million in the first six months of the previous year. The segments Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development resulted in an operating profit of € 18.0 million (H1 2008: € 14.6 million) and an operating loss of € 8.0 million (H1 2008: operating loss of € 2.5 million), respectively, whereas the operating profit for the AbD Serotec segment amounted to € 1.1 million (H1 2008: € 0.2 million).

A net profit after taxes of € 5.0 million was achieved in the first six months of 2009, compared to a net profit after taxes of € 6.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The resulting basic net profit per share for the first six months of 2009 amounted to € 0.23 (H1 2008: € 0.28).

Liquidity / Cash Flows

Net cash inflow from operations in the first six months of 2009 amounted to € 6.6 million (H1 2008: cash inflow of € 18.0 million). Investing activities resulted in a cash outflow of € 3.1 million (H1 2008: cash outflow of € 16.7 million) whereas financing activities resulted in a minor cash outflow (H1 2008: cash inflow of € 0.6 million).

As of June 30, 2009, the Company held € 144.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and available-forsale financial assets, compared to a year end 2008 balance of € 137.9 million.

Assets

Total assets increased by € 5.7 million to € 209.0 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to € 203.3 million as of December 31, 2008. Current assets increased by € 7.8 million mainly as a result of an increase in both cash and cash equivalents (€ 6.2 million) and accounts receivable (€ 1.2 million).

Compared to December 31, 2008, non-current assets decreased by € 2.1 million mainly as a consequence of the release of deferred tax assets capitalized in 2007 (€ 1.1 million) as well as of the amortization of licenses (€ 1.0 million).

Liabilities

In the first six months of 2009, current liabilities increased from € 27.4 million as of December 31, 2008, to € 30.0 million as of June 30, 2009. This change primarily arose from an increase in current deferred revenue (€ 4.3 million) which was partly offset by a decrease in accounts payable (€ 2.0 million).

Non-current liabilities decreased by € 3.3 million to € 10.6 million in the first six months of 2009, which was mainly impacted by a decrease in non-current deferred revenue of € 3.3 million resulting from contracts signed in previous years.

Equity

Total stockholders' equity amounted to € 168.5 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to € 162.0 million as of December 31, 2008.

As of June 30, 2009, the total number of shares issued amounted to 22,492,287 of which 22,412,391 were outstanding, compared to 22,478,787 and 22,398,891 as of December 31, 2008, respectively.

The increase of shares outstanding by 13,500 shares arose from exercised options issued to employees.

Capital Expenditure

MorphoSys's investment in property, plant and equipment amounted to € 0.6 million for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2009, compared to € 0.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment for the first six months of 2009 accounted for € 0.7 million compared to € 0.7 million in the first half of 2008.

During the first six months of 2009, the Company invested € 0.4 million in intangible assets (H1 2008: € 0.3 million). Amortization of intangibles amounted to € 1.9 million and remained unchanged in comparison to the first half of 2008.

Human Resources

Number and Qualification of Employees

On June 30, 2009, the MorphoSys Group employed 375 people (December 31, 2008: 334). On average, the MorphoSys Group employed 353 people for the first six months of 2009 (H1 2008: 299).

Of the 375 employees, 123 people were employed in MorphoSys's subsidiaries on June 30, 2009, and on average, 115 were employed (H1 2008: 113 and 108 on average, respectively).

Of the 375 employees, 220 worked in research and development and 155 in sales, general and administration (December 31, 2008: 191 and 143, respectively).

On June 30, 2009, 102 of MorphoSys's employees had a Ph.D. degree (December 31, 2008: 91).

Of the 375 employees, 188 worked for the Partnered Discovery segment, 44 for the Proprietary Development segment and 143 for the AbD Serotec segment (December 31, 2008: Therapeutic Antibodies segments 201 and AbD segment 133, respectively).

On June 30, 2009, MorphoSys had 2 apprenticeship positions (December 31, 2008: 2).

Pipeline Update

Partnered Discovery

During the second quarter of 2009, MorphoSys's existing partnered therapeutic antibody pipeline increased to 62 active antibody development programs in total (up from 55 at the beginning of the year), of which currently six programs are in clinical development, 31 in preclinical development, and 25 in research (not including the co-development candidate with Novartis).

In the first six months, MorphoSys recorded seven new program starts with its partners. Two new cancer-related antibody programs were initiated within the partnership with Daiichi-Sankyo.

During the second quarter, two partner companies, namely Novartis and Centocor Ortho Biotech, advanced HuCAL-based antibody programs into phase 1 clinical trials. Both events triggered clinical milestone payments to MorphoSys. Although reported in the second quarter, the clinical milestone triggered within the Novartis collaboration was already included in the Company's Q1 results.

Proprietary Development

MOR103

In June 2009, MorphoSys reported positive results from the phase 1 clinical study for its lead drug MOR103, a fully human HuCAL-derived monoclonal antibody directed against Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF), in healthy volunteers. The results of this study indicate that MOR103 is generally safe and well tolerated at all doses administered. The completed phase 1 trial was designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic parameters of MOR103 in healthy volunteers. In total, 63 volunteers received ascending doses of MOR103 up to a concentration of 3 mg/kg or placebo in seven dose cohorts via intravenous infusion. No maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached in the study. Analysis of the pharmacokinetic properties of MOR103 showed a serum halflife typical of a fully human antibody which could translate into a competitive dosing regimen. The overall safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic properties of MOR103 provide a solid foundation for the Company's development plans, including the forthcoming phase 1b/2a study in patients.

In conjunction with the presentation of final phase 1 data MorphoSys announced that the Company has submitted an application for the authorization of a subsequent phase 1b/2a clinical study in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. The trial, which will be conducted in multiple centers in several European countries, is expected to enroll 135 patients in total, beginning in the second half of 2009.

In July 2009, MorphoSys and the University of Melbourne initiated a research collaboration to investigate new therapeutic applications for MorphoSys's MOR103 program. The collaboration will focus on new therapeutic areas in which GM-CSF has recently been implicated in as yet unpublished work of researchers at the University of Melbourne. Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys will fund research activities at the University of Melbourne in multiple new indications. The University of Melbourne will receive an upfront payment and will be entitled to research funding, clinical milestone and royalty payments.

MOR202

The preclinical development and manufacturing of MOR202 continues as planned. Start of clinical development is expected in 2010.

LETTER TO GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 1 THE SHARE- M A N A G E M E N T HOLDERS R E P O R T

Early-stage pipeline

Work on MOR205, an early-stage cancer program, was initiated in the second quarter of 2009, and MOR203 continues as planned. Additionally, MorphoSys selected a new disease-related target molecule in inflammation, MOR104.

Business Development

Partnered Discovery

Novartis

MorphoSys announced in July that Novartis has committed to a ten-year term of the strategic alliance originally signed in December 2007. The decision was based on the successful achievement by MorphoSys of certain predefined improvements in its proprietary technologies. The collaboration will now run until 2017 and may be extended by Novartis for an additional two years beyond that time under the same financial terms and conditions. The option for Novartis to terminate the alliance after seven years is thereby removed. Based on the ten-year term, committed payments total more than € 400 million.

Schering-Plough

In June 2009, MorphoSys announced that Schering-Plough Corporation has triggered its preexisting option to extend the current collaboration for another year. The partnership may be extended by Schering-Plough annually until 2011. As a result, MorphoSys continues to have active collaborations with both Schering-Plough and Merck & Co, who announced plans to acquire Schering-Plough in March 2009.

The agreement grants Schering-Plough continued access to MorphoSys's proprietary antibody library HuCAL GOLD at its research site, Schering-Plough Biopharma, in Palo Alto, Calif., and contains options for therapeutic licenses. For therapeutic antibody projects undertaken by Schering-Plough, MorphoSys is eligible to receive license fees, milestone payments relating to the successful advancement of projects in clinical development, and royalties on HuCAL antibodies developed under the agreement.

AbD Serotec

AbD Serotec has tapped a new area of application, namely HuCAL-based antibodies used for clinical monitoring. In the second quarter, a first customer, an undisclosed US-based biopharmaceutical company, decided to use a HuCAL-based recombinant diagnostic antibody for in vitro clinical monitoring within a phase 1 clinical trial of a therapeutic cancer antibody program. AbD Serotec has granted a clinical monitoring license and will supply the customer with recombinant antibody material. Similar projects with different customers are currently ongoing.

Intellectual Property

In June 2009, MorphoSys announced that the Japanese Patent Office has granted a new patent covering its CysDisplay technology. CysDisplay is a proprietary screening technology, which is an important component of MorphoSys's proprietary HuCAL platform. The new patent (JP 4312403) describes a selection technology based on phage display for selecting high-affinity antibodies. The claims are not limited to the use of a HuCAL library with this selection technology.

As part of the research alliance initiated with the University of Melbourne in July 2009, new patent applications have been filed, which are intended to broaden the patent position of the anti-GM-CSF approach used in the MOR103 antibody program.

Risk and Opportunity Report

The risks and opportunities have not changed materially compared to the situation described in the Annual Report 2008.

Outlook

At the occasion of the reporting of the financial results of the first six months of 2009, MorphoSys reconfirmed full-year guidance. The Company estimates full-year 2009 Group revenues between € 80 million and € 85 million, and an operating profit of € 8 million to € 11 million, including investments in technology and product development in the amount of € 18 million to € 20 million (2008: € 7.7 million).

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, 2009, 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, 2008, have been used throughout the first six months of 2009.

The Group applies IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" (effective from January 1, 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 and aligns segment reporting with the requirements of the US standard SFAS 131 "Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information". The new standard requires a 'management approach', under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2009, the Group implemented a third operating segment Therapeutic Antibodies – Proprietary Development.

2 Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's operating and geographical segments. The operating segments are 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. Intersegment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis according to the Group transfer pricing policy.

THE SHARE- MANAGEMENT Statement of Operations H O L D E R S R E P O R T Statement of Comprehensive Income Balance Sheet Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity Statement of Cash Flows Notes to the Financial Statements

The Group consists of the following three main operating segments:

Partnered Discovery

MorphoSys possesses one of the leading technologies for the generation of human antibody therapeutics. The Company commercially exploits this technology via partnerships with multiple pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. All activities related to these collaborations are reflected in this segment.

Proprietary Development

This segment involves all activities relating to proprietary therapeutic antibody development. Presently, this includes the Company's two lead compounds in its proprietary product portfolio, MOR103 and MOR202. Proprietary compounds, once developed to a stage where clinical proof of concept is achieved, can then be outlicensed to partners.

AbD Serotec

The AbD Serotec segment leverages MorphoSys's core technological capabilities in the design and manufacture of antibodies for research and diagnostic purposes. It commercializes the HuCAL technology, focusing on generation of bespoke research antibodies for its customers. The segment also generates sales from catalog antibodies and bulk/industrial production of antibodies.

GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS

In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenues are based on the geographical location of the customers and segment assets on the geographical location of the assets.

We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim 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 perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed 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 requirements of the WpHG 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
