Dear Shareholders,

Dear Shareholders,

THE SHARE- MANAGEMENT HOLDERS REPORT

At the occasion of the year-end press conference in February, MorphoSys presented plans on how it intends to expand its proprietary pipeline. The Company is committed to accelerate in-house drug development over the course of 2009 and will invest € 18 to € 20 million into this important future value driver in this year. As a result of the planned activities MorphoSys's proprietary pipeline at year-end could consist of up to eight programs in total. The Company's most advanced compound MOR103 is expected to enter a phase 1b/2a clinical trial in the second half of 2009.

Additionally, on the partnered side of MorphoSys's Therapeutic Antibodies segment, Novartis advanced the HuCAL-based antibody program BHQ880 into a phase 1b/2a clinical trial. As a result, two of the Company's partnered compounds, BHQ880 and an antibody program with its partner Centocor, are now in phase 2 clinical trials.

In the AbD segment MorphoSys announced the appointment of a new head for the unit, Dieter Feger. Mr. Feger joined MorphoSys from Abbott Diagnostics, where he headed global marketing for Abbott in infectious diseases, which in turn will help underpin the AbD segment's efforts, particularly on the diagnostics side of its business. In financial terms, the first quarter was a strong one for AbD with a revenue growth of 14% compared to the prior year.

On a Group level, revenues for the first three months ended March 31, 2009 were broadly in line with the Company's expectations at € 19.1 million, a 17% increase over the same period in the previous year while operating profits came in at € 4.2 million.

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 – March 31, 2009

Industry Overview

In the first quarter of 2009, the consolidation process in the healthcare sector continued and three large acquisitions in the pharmaceutical industry were announced or concluded. The world's largest pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced plans to acquire its competitor Wyeth for a purchase price of US\$ 68 billion. The US pharma company Merck, Inc. announced plans to acquire Schering-Plough for approximately US\$ 41 billion. Finally, Roche brought to a close the acquisition of Genentech, developer of multiple leading antibody products such as Herceptin® , Raptiva® , Rituxan® and Xolair® , bidding US\$ 46.8 billion for the remaining 44 % of the US biotech group's shares. The transaction was originally announced in the third quarter 2008. Smaller antibody-related transactions included the acquisition of Australian Arana Therapeutics Limited by US-based Cephalon, Inc. for a purchase price of US\$ 318 million and the merger agreement between Pharmexa A/S, Denmark, and Affitech AS in Norway.

Looking at product-development-related newsflow, GlaxoSmithKline and Genmab have successfully submitted applications to the FDA and European Medicines Agency's (EMEA) to approve a fully human antibody for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In Germany, TRION Pharma, Munich, has received a positive opinion by the EMEA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recommending approval of an antibody derivative for the treatment of malignant ascites.

The market for research reagents could potentially benefit from President Obama's commitment to increasing the US Government's investment in scientific research. The recently announced stimulus package included over US\$ 20 billion in additional research spending, 40% of which is earmarked for research grants provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

MorphoSys Share Price Performance

In the first quarter the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector was under pressure partly due to ongoing discussions about what impact the reform of the US healthcare system will have on the sector. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index fell by 9.5%, the TecDAX by 4.6%, and the DAXsubsector Biotechnology Performance Index decreased by 5.9%. During the same period MorphoSys's share price experienced a decrease of 32%. By comparison, a basket of international antibody companies (Source: BioCentury) increased by 0.8%.

The MorphoSys Share (January 2, 2009 = 100%)

Financial Analysis

Revenues

Compared to the same period in the previous year, Group revenues increased by 17% to € 19.1 million in the first three months of 2009 (Q1 2008: € 16.3 million). This increase is due to both higher levels of funded research, licensing fees and success-based revenues in the therapeutic segment as well as stronger revenues in the AbD segment. Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibodies segment accounted for 75% or € 14.3 million (Q1 2008: € 12.0 million) of total revenues while the AbD segment generated 25% (€ 4.9 million) of the total (Q1 2008: € 4.3 million).

Geographically, 20%, or € 3.9 million of MorphoSys's commercial revenues were generated with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies or non-profit organizations located in North America and 80%, or € 15.2 million, with companies located mainly in Europe and Asia. In the same period of the prior year, the geographical split of revenues was approximately equivalent.

Therapeutic Antibodies Segment

Revenues arising from the Therapeutic Antibodies segment (TAB) comprised € 11.5 million in funded research and licensing fees (Q1 2008: € 10.7 million) as well as € 2.8 million success-based payments (Q1 2008: € 1.3 million), representing 20% of total Therapeutic Antibodies revenues. Approximately 87% of Therapeutic Antibodies revenues and 65% of total revenues arose from the Company's three largest alliances with Novartis, Daiichi Sankyo and Merck (Q1 2008: Novartis, Daiichi Sankyo and Pfizer, 87% and 64%, respectively).

Assuming constant foreign exchange rates at the average rate of 2008, revenues in the Therapeutic Antibodies segment would have totaled € 14.2 million.

Revenue Development by Segment (in € million)

Antibodies Direct – AbD Segment

Compared to the same period in the previous year, AbD segment's revenues increased by 14%, or € 0.6 million, to € 4.9 million in 2009 (Q1 2008: € 4.3 million). Assuming constant foreign exchange rates at the average rate for 2008, revenues in the AbD segment would have remained unchanged.

The largest part of revenues (approx. 82% or € 4.0 million), was generated with catalog and industrial customers (Q1 2008: approx. 84% or € 3.6 million), while custom manufacture antibodies contributed 18% or € 0.9 million (Q1 2008: 16% or € 0.7 million).

As of March 31, 2009, orders in the amount of € 2.0 million were classified as backorders in the segment (March 31, 2008: € 0.8 million).

Operating Expenses

Compared to the first three months of 2008, total operating expenses increased by approximately 22% to € 14.9 million in 2009 (Q1 2008: € 12.2 million). The change in operating expenses of € 2.7 million was mainly impacted by research and development (R&D) expenses increasing by 60% or € 3.2 million which was partly offset by sales, general and administrative (S, G&A) expenses decreasing from € 5.2 million to € 4.8 million. Cost of goods sold (COGS) remained unchanged at € 1.7 million. Total purchase price allocation (PPA) effects on operating profit amounted to € 0.1 million (Q1 2008: € 0.2 million).

Stock-based compensation expenses are embedded in COGS, S, G&A and R&D expense amounts. Stock-based compensation for the first three months of 2009 amounted to € 0.3 million (Q1 2008: € 0.3 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 three months of 2009 and – compared to the same period of the prior year – remained unchanged at € 1.7 million.

Research and Development Expenses

In the first three months of 2009, expenses for research and development increased by € 3.2 million to € 8.5 million (Q1 2008: € 5.3 million). This was mainly due to higher costs for external lab funding (Q1 2009: € 2.3 million; Q1 2008: € 0.2 million), as well as increased personnel costs associated with proprietary drug development (Q1 2009: € 3.3 million; Q1 2008: € 2.4 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 three months of 2009, the Company incurred costs for proprietary product development and technology development in the amount of € 3.7 million and € 0.1 million, respectively (Q1 2008: € 0.8 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 € 0.4 million to € 4.8 million (Q1 2008: € 5.2 million).

Development of Operating Expenses (in € million)

* Differences due to rounding

In the first three months of 2009, personnel costs (excluding stock-based compensation) amounted to € 5.8 million (Q1 2008: € 5.1 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 € 3.4 million (Q1 2008: € 1.6 million) or 23% of total operating expenses and mainly included external lab funding (Q1 2009: € 2.3 million; Q1 2008: € 0.2 million) and consulting fees (Q1 2009: € 0.5 million; Q1 2008: € 0.7 million).

Costs for intangibles accounted for € 2.0 million (Q1 2008: € 2.0 million) or 13% of total operating expenses and mainly consisted of expenses for licenses (Q1 2009: € 1.0 million; Q1 2008: € 0.9 million) as well as amortization of licenses capitalized (Q1 2009: € 0.6 million; Q1 2008: € 0.6 million).

Non-operating Items

For the first three months of 2009, non-operating income amounted to € 0.9 million (Q1 2008: € 0.6 million) and mainly changed as a result of increased gains from marketable securities, decreased losses from foreign exchange effects, partly offset by lower interest income.

Taxes

For the first three months of 2009, the Company reported income tax expenses in the amount of € 1.6 million. This line item mainly included deferred tax expenses (€ 0.5 million) from the release of deferred tax assets capitalized in 2007, and current tax expenses (€ 1.1 million).

Operating Profit / Net Profit

Group operating profit for the first three months of 2009 amounted to € 4.2 million (Q1 2008: € 4.1 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to € 5.0 million, compared to an EBIT of € 4.3 million in the first three months of the previous year. The Therapeutic Antibodies segment resulted in an operating profit of € 5.5 million (Q1 2008: € 6.1 million) whereas the operating profit for the AbD segment amounted to € 0.6 million (Q1 2008: € 0.04 million).

A net profit after taxes of € 3.5 million was achieved in the first three months of 2009, compared to a net profit after taxes of € 3.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The resulting basic net profit per share for the first three months of 2009 amounted to € 0.16 (Q1 2008: € 0.15).

Liquidity / Cash Flows

Net cash outflow from operations in the first three months of 2009 amounted to € 1.7 million (Q1 2008: cash inflow of € 4.0 million). Investing activities resulted in a cash inflow of € 7.1 million (Q1 2008: cash outflow of € 17.9 million) whereas the cash outflow from financing activities amounted to € 0.1 million (Q1 2008: cash inflow of € 0.4 million).

As of March 31, 2009, the Company held € 136.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and availablefor-sale financial assets, compared to a year end 2008 balance of € 137.9 million.

Assets

Total assets decreased by € 2.0 million to € 201.3 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to € 203.3 million as of December 31, 2008. Current assets decreased by € 0.6 million mainly as a result of the sale of available-for-sale financial assets (€ 7.1 million) and the decrease in tax receivables (€ 0.8 million) which were partly offset by an increase in both cash and cash equivalents (€ 5.3 million) and accounts receivable (€ 1.6 million).

Compared to December 31, 2008, non-current assets decreased by € 1.4 million mainly as a consequence of the amortization of deferred tax assets capitalized in 2007 (€ 0.5 million) as well as of the amortization of licenses (€ 0.5 million).

Liabilities

In the first three months of 2009, current liabilities decreased from € 27.4 million as of December 31, 2008, to € 22.7 million as of March 31, 2009. This change primarily arose from a decrease in both current deferred revenue (€ 6.0 million) and accounts payable (€ 1.1 million) which were partly offset by an increase in licenses payable (€ 2.1 million).

Non-current liabilities decreased by € 1.0 million to € 12.9 million in the first three months of 2009 which was mainly impacted by a decrease in non-current deferred revenue by € 0.9 million resulting from contracts signed in the current year and in previous years.

Equity

Total stockholders' equity amounted to € 165.7 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to € 162.0 million as of December 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 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 € 0.2 million for the threemonth period ended March 31, 2009, and remained unchanged compared to the same period of the prior year. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment for the first three months of 2009 accounted for € 0.4 million and remained unchanged compared to the first three months of 2008.

During the first three months of 2009, the Company invested € 0.1 million in intangible assets (Q1 2008: € 0.1 million). Amortization of intangibles amounted to € 0.9 million and remained unchanged in comparison to the first three months of 2008.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – unaudited

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 March 31, 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 three 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.

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 Group consists of the following two main operating 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 biotechnology companies as well as on its own account.

ANTIBODIES DIRECT — ABD

The AbD segment leverages MorphoSys's core technological capabilities in the design and manufacture of antibodies for research purposes. It commercializes the HuCAL technology, focusing on the custom generation of research antibodies for partners on an individual basis. The segment generates sales from custom antibodies as well as catalog antibodies and industrial bulk production.

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.

A segment result is defined as segment revenues less operating segment expenses. As a compensation for therapeutic revenues generated from contracts that had been originally initiated by the AbD segment, the Therapeutic Antibodies segment granted a compensatory fee of € 0.2 million to the AbD segment for the first three months of 2009 as a result of the revenue sharing agreement established between the two segments in 2007.
