2005 ANNUAL REPORT

CORPORATE PROFILE AND STRATEGY

XOMA is a pioneer and leader in the discovery, development and manufacture of therapeutic antibodies and other proteins, with a 

therapeutic focus that includes cancer and immune diseases. 

The company has built a premier antibody discovery and development platform that includes access to seven of the leading commercially 

available  antibody  phage  display  libraries,  XOMA’s  proprietary  Human  Engineering™  process  and  bacterial  cell  expression  (BCE) 

technology. More than 45 companies have signed BCE licenses to date. As a leader in therapeutic antibodies, XOMA has established 

a  unique  and  comprehensive  collection  of  technologies  for  antibody  discovery,  optimization  and  production.  With  a  fully  integrated 

product development infrastructure, XOMA’s product development capabilities extend from the preclinical sciences to product launch. 

In addition to our own proprietary products, we broaden our pipeline by leveraging our development and manufacturing infrastructure 

through collaborations with other companies and research institutions. Our goal is to become profitable in the next three years while 

continuing to strengthen our product pipeline. The principal elements of XOMA’s strategy to attain this challenging goal are to:

(cid:129)   Continue to build a diverse portfolio of product candidates. XOMA is developing a pipeline of product candidates 

in  a  variety  of  therapeutic  areas  at  various  stages  of  clinical  and  preclinical  development.  We  believe  this 

strategy may increase the likelihood of successful product approval and commercialization, while reducing our 

exposure to the risk inherent in developing any one drug or focusing on a single therapeutic area.

(cid:129)   Seek to license or acquire complementary products and technologies. We intend to supplement our internal 

drug discovery efforts through the acquisition of products and technologies that complement our internal 

product development strategy. We intend to continue to identify, evaluate and pursue the licensing or acqui-

sition of other strategically valuable products and technologies.

(cid:129)   Leverage our core competencies. We believe that we have significant expertise in recombinant protein devel-

opment and production, which we have used to establish a strong platform for the development of antibody 

and  other  protein-related  pharmaceutical  products.  We  intend  to  leverage  these  competencies  to  develop 

valuable products addressing markets with important unmet medical needs. 

(cid:129)   Outlicense select product candidates. We have internally developed product candidates that we will consider 

outlicensing in the future, if we believe that it will bring us additional financial resources and increase the 

likelihood  of  regulatory  approval  and  successful  commercialization  of  such  products  within  or  outside 

the United States. 

(cid:129)   Utilize  excess  manufacturing  capacity.  We  currently  have  manufacturing  capacity  beyond  that  required 

for  the  production  of  our  own  proprietary  and  collaborative  products.  We  are  actively  seeking  additional 

relationships that would utilize this excess capacity and bring us additional financial resources.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

I am pleased with XOMA’s accomplishments in 2005. In addition to making important progress on many specific objectives, 2005 was also a year in which 

the validity of our corporate strategy became visibly apparent in both our financial and operating results. This strategy and the successes of 2005 have, we 

believe, defined a clear path to sustainable profitability for XOMA, and we continue to be confident that we currently have in hand the financial and other 

resources needed to reach that important goal. 

Meaningful Collaborations

Collaborations are an important element of our strategy because they allow XOMA to leverage its R&D investment across a greater number of projects. This, in 

turn, increases our probability of success across the portfolio, while it allows us to be more selective in the development of our own internal opportunities. 

We reached two important collaboration milestones in 2005. During the year, we started Phase 1 clinical testing with Chiron on its CHIR 12.12 antibody in 

two indications, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma, both of which represent significant market opportunities. Beyond CHIR 12.12, Chiron 

and XOMA are bringing a number of other antibodies through preclinical development and are pushing hard to get them into clinical testing. We continue to 

be optimistic about our exclusive oncology collaboration with Chiron and expect to continue in some joint development capacity with Novartis if its pending 

acquisition of Chiron is completed. 

In 2005, we also began a three-year collaboration with Lexicon Genetics in fields outside of oncology, with the goal of bringing at least three new products 

into our development pipeline. The collaboration’s first target is a secreted protein involved in metabolic functions such as insulin sensitivity and weight 

gain. Despite the large market size and rapid growth of these disorders, relatively few companies are generating monoclonal antibody therapeutics for 

diabetes and metabolic diseases, which makes this a very exciting opportunity for XOMA.

A Growing Pipeline

We continue to pursue our internal program for XOMA 052, a potent anti-inflammatory, Human-Engineered™ monoclonal antibody with a binding affinity 

roughly 1,000 times that of many marketed antibodies. We have made significant progress during 2005 on this product candidate and look forward to 2006 

as we move this program closer to the clinic. We have already demonstrated very potent inhibitory activity against its target in pre-clinical studies, which may 

allow for an infrequent dosing regimen. We are targeting Phase I clinical studies in the first half of 2007 for one or more indications, including rheumatoid and 

osteoarthritis.

We continued to make clinical progress with our proprietary compound NEUPREX® (opebacan) during 2005 through Investigator Sponsored Trials (ISTs). 

ISTs involve minimal financial commitments by XOMA yet give us access to the data resulting from the trials for future regulatory submissions. Clinical studies 

are ongoing in pediatric open-heart surgery and in patients with severe burns, and we are in the process of initiating studies in bone marrow/stem cell 

transplantation. In addition to being interesting in its own right, the bone marrow/stem cell transplant study could provide proof of concept data for the 

use of NEUPREX® in acute radiation sickness as a biodefense indication. Success with any of these clinical trials could result in larger clinical opportunities.

XOMA has many other compounds in pre-clinical evaluation, and we will provide you with updates as their development status becomes newsworthy.

Technology Licensing: Benefits Both Short- and Long-Term

Another essential part of XOMA’s strategy is to deploy every asset we have to its best and fullest use, and our intellectual property is one such asset that 

can provide both short- and long-term benefits to XOMA. In 2005, we continued our successful licensing program for our Bacterial Cell Expression (BCE) 

technology by signing licenses with Merck and Wyeth in the big pharma category, and with Affitech in biotech, bringing our total to more than 40 BCE 

licenses. We plan to continue our BCE licensing efforts in 2006 and to begin to license our Human-Engineering™ technology for humanizing antibodies 

from  any  species.  These  efforts  are  important  to  us  for  the  fees  and  the  in-licensed  technology  they  generate  and,  longer-term,  for  the  royalties  from 

products developed using these technologies. Two such products that use our BCE technology, CIMZIA™ and Lucentis™, may receive FDA approval in 2006 

and, when marketed, will result in royalties to XOMA. 

FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, 

XOMA HAS BEEN A LEADER IN THERAPEUTIC ANTIBODY INNOVATION.

Maximizing Asset Utilization Through Manufacturing

Our antibody development and manufacturing capabilities are valuable assets that were utilized to generate meaningful revenues for XOMA in 2005. During the 

year, we began a $15 million contract for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under which we are manufacturing three antibodies 

for potential use against botulinum neurotoxin. We also began a contract with Cubist Pharmaceuticals to manufacture Phase III quantities of their two-antibody 

HepeX-B product. This contract may be expanded to include commercial quantities of their drug if Cubist is successful in obtaining FDA approval. 

For 2005 and into the foreseeable future, we expect contract development and manufacturing to be an important means of reducing our operating loss and 

ultimately becoming profitable. 

Growing RAPTIVA® Sales

No discussion of our 2005 results would be complete without an update on RAPTIVA®. Early in 2005, we converted our cost and profit sharing agreement 

with Genentech into a royalty arrangement, which made RAPTIVA® immediately profitable for XOMA. Since that time, RAPTIVA®’s sales have continued to 

grow in the US and worldwide, and royalties from these sales are an important source of nearly expense-free revenue for XOMA. We expect that much of 

the growth going forward will be in international markets as Serono continues to roll out RAPTIVA®’s launch worldwide. 

A Stronger Financial Position

XOMA ended 2005 much stronger financially than it began the year. Early in 2005, we completed the sale of $60 million of Convertible Senior Notes, which 

gave us the means to continue to implement our operational strategy. 

At the same time that our cash position improved, our operating loss for 2005 declined to less than half that for 2004. Importantly, we expect that the 

operating loss in 2006 will continue this trend in comparison to 2005. These results reflect higher revenues, reduced R&D expenses and the elimination of 

losses from the RAPTIVA® collaboration with Genentech.

A Stronger Executive Team

One of the most important means by which XOMA will accomplish its goals is through a strong management team and Board. Here, too, we made progress 

in 2005. Early in the year, Peter Barton Hutt joined our Board. Peter brings a particularly valuable perspective to our Board as a lawyer and former chief 

counsel of the FDA. On the management team, our CFO David Boyle joined the company early in 2005. Later in the year, we added Dr. Alan Solinger from 

Amgen to head our clinical immunology function, and we promoted Bob Gundel, Mary Haak-Frendscho and Mark White into key positions. These individuals 

complement the other outstanding executives we have added over the past few years, and I want to emphasize that I believe XOMA has a first rate manage-

ment and scientific team in place.

The Way Forward 

XOMA is redefining the way biotech companies achieve financial stability. We are maximizing revenue generation through collaborations and leveraging our 

intellectual property and assets, all while continuing to develop new drugs on our own and with our partners. The many significant accomplishments of 

2005 have positioned XOMA for another good year in 2006 and beyond. Overall, our goal is to achieve sustainable profitability in the foreseeable future as 

we continue to broaden our pipeline. As we reach for this goal, as always, we remain grateful for your support as shareholders.

Business

Overview

PART I

XOMA Ltd. (“XOMA” or the “Company”), a Bermuda company, is a leading biopharmaceutical company

in the field of therapeutic antibody discovery and development. We have a royalty interest in one approved
therapeutic antibody, RAPTIVA®, which is marketed in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, for the
treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis under an agreement with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) as a
result of a prior collaborative product development program. We also have a future royalty interest in additional
therapeutic antibody product candidates being developed by others as a result of licensing our technologies.
XOMA’s pipeline includes both proprietary products and collaborative programs at various stages of preclinical
and clinical development primarily directed toward treatments for cancer and immune disorders. XOMA
possesses a broad technology platform for the discovery, optimization and manufacture of therapeutic antibodies
as well as a fully integrated product development infrastructure for antibodies and other biologics. In addition to
supporting our product pipeline, we use our infrastructure to provide process development and manufacturing
services on a fee-for-service basis.

Strategy

Our strategy is to develop and manufacture antibodies and other recombinant protein products to treat
cancer, immunological and inflammatory disorders, and infectious diseases. In addition to our own proprietary
products, we broaden our pipeline by leveraging our development and manufacturing infrastructure through
collaborations with other companies and research institutions. Our goal is to become profitable in the next three
years while continuing to strengthen our product pipeline. We recognize the challenging nature of this goal, and
the principal elements of our strategy are to:

• Continue to build a diverse portfolio of product candidates. We are developing a pipeline of product

candidates in a variety of therapeutic areas at various stages of clinical and preclinical development. We
believe this strategy may increase the likelihood of successful product approval and commercialization,
while reducing our exposure to the risk inherent in developing any one drug or focusing on a single
therapeutic area.

•

•

Seek to license or acquire complementary products and technologies. We intend to supplement our
internal drug discovery efforts through the acquisition of products and technologies that complement our
internal product development strategy. We intend to continue to identify, evaluate and pursue the
licensing or acquisition of other strategically valuable products and technologies.

Leverage our core competencies. We believe that we have significant expertise in recombinant protein
development and production, which we have used to establish a strong platform for the development of
antibody and other protein-related pharmaceutical products. We intend to leverage these competencies
to develop valuable products addressing markets with important unmet medical needs. When
strategically advantageous, we may seek marketing arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies
for the further advancement of our product candidates.

• Outlicense select product candidates. We have additional internally developed product candidates,

which we will consider outlicensing in the future, if we believe that it will bring us additional financial
resources and increase the likelihood of regulatory approval and successful commercialization of such
products within or outside the United States.

• Utilize excess manufacturing capacity. We currently have manufacturing capacity beyond that required
for the production of our own proprietary and collaborative products. We are actively seeking additional
relationships that would utilize this excess capacity and bring us additional financial resources.

1

Products

Below is a summary of our current products and stages of clinical development:

• RAPTIVA® (Efalizumab) with Genentech. RAPTIVA® is a humanized therapeutic monoclonal

antibody developed to treat immune system disorders. RAPTIVA® is the first biologic therapy designed
to provide long-term control of chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and can be self-
administered by patients as a single, once-weekly subcutaneous injection. On October 27, 2003, the
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved RAPTIVA® for the treatment of adults with chronic
moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
Genentech has been marketing RAPTIVA® in the United States since November of 2003. In March of
2004, Genentech disclosed its intention to launch clinical testing of RAPTIVA® in atopic dermatitis.
Genentech’s management recently informed us that it has decided not to pursue this indication. In
September of 2004, Serono, S.A. (“Serono”), Genentech’s international marketing partner for
RAPTIVA®, announced that RAPTIVA® had received approval for use in the European Union. By the
end of 2005, Serono had launched RAPTIVA® in over forty countries worldwide.

• CHIR-12.12 with Chiron Corporation (“Chiron”) is an anti-CD40 antagonist antibody intended as a
treatment for B-cell malignancies. This antibody has a dual mechanism of action blocking a tumor cell
growth and survival signal as well as recruiting immune effector cells to kill tumor cells. CHIR-12.12 is
the first product candidate selected under the multi-product antibody development and
commercialization agreement for the treatment of cancer announced by Chiron and ourselves in March
of 2004. The first Investigative New Drug (“IND”) application submission took place in December of
2004. In April 2005, we announced the initiation of Phase I study for patients with advance chronic
lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”). Then in October 2005, we initiated a second Phase I study for patients
with multiple myeloma (“MM”).

• NEUPREX® (opebacan/rBPI21) is an injectable formulation of rBPI21, a modified recombinant

fragment of human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (“BPI”). BPI is a human host-defense
protein made by a type of white blood cell that is involved in the body’s defenses against microbial
infection.

In October of 2003, in conjunction with Children’s Medical Center Dallas, we announced the initiation
of an open-label, single center, dose escalation, investigator-sponsored, Phase I/II clinical trial of
NEUPREX® in pediatric patients with congenital heart abnormalities requiring open heart surgery
associated with cardiopulmonary bypass. The study plans to investigate dosing, efficacy endpoints and
safety to assess the potential for conducting larger, additional studies.

We have previously tested NEUPREX® in clinical trials for several infectious and inflammatory
conditions including meningococcemia and are evaluating future options for developing the product in
multiple indications.

The safety profile of NEUPREX® continues to be an attractive clinical feature evidenced by ongoing
investigator-sponsored studies. Several clinical investigators are conducting or plan to conduct studies in
other target indications including pediatric open heart surgery, burn injury and allogeneic hematopoietic
stem cell transplant (“HSCT”). The HSCT studies may provide proofs of concept for acute radiation
syndrome for possible biodefense application. In Europe, we submitted an application to the European
Medicines Agency (“EMEA”) for orphan drug designation in meningococcal disease. In 2005, we
decided to cease investigating the use of NEUPREX® as a possible treatment for plague.

• XMA005.2 is a Human Engineered™ monoclonal antibody with a high-affinity and potent inhibitory
activity against its inflammatory target. This high potency means that it may be suitable for use as a
monthly-dose injectable therapeutic. We are currently evaluating XMA005.2 in preclinical studies
targeting multiple indications, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, where less frequent
dosing could be a significant marketing advantage. We plan to start clinical testing for this molecule in
the first half of 2007.

2

• Anti-gastrin Mab with Aphton Corporation (“Aphton”). In September of 2004, we announced a
worldwide collaboration to develop treatments for gastrointestinal (“GI”) and other gastrin-sensitive
cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Antibodies to be developed under the collaboration
will bind and neutralize the hormone gastrin 17 that is believed to be involved in tumor progression in
GI cancers. Gastrin expression and the appearance of gastrin receptors have been associated with
increasing malignant characteristics of GI tumors and with poorer prognostic outcomes. Specifically,
gastrin has been shown to be involved in the progression of colorectal, stomach, liver and pancreatic
cancers and inhibiting gastrin may inhibit such growth.

• Metabolic Disease Target with Lexicon Genetics (“Lexicon”). Metabolic Disease Target is a secreted
protein involved in metabolic functions such as insulin sensitivity and weight gain that was identified
through Lexicon’s Knockout Technology. Antibodies to this target may be developed to treat Type II
diabetes, obesity and other metabolic diseases.

• MLN2222 (also known as CAB2) with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Millennium”). In
December of 2003, we announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a
complement inhibitor for coronary artery bypass graft surgery targeting vascular inflammation
associated with such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
properties. In October of 2004, we announced the amendment of our agreements with Millennium
whereby Millennium assumed responsibility for all development work and expenses for MLN2222 upon
initiation of Phase II testing. We have now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and have transferred
the relevant clinical data from the trial to Millennium. We are obligated to continue to provide quantities
of bulk drug substance and services requested and paid for by Millennium for future clinical trials. We
will be entitled to receive an undisclosed royalty on future net sales of MLN2222, as well as payments
related to the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones.

•

ING-1 is a Human Engineered™ monoclonal antibody developed by us to specifically target tumor cells
in adenocarcinoma patients. ING-1 antibodies bind with high affinity to the Ep-CAM antigen and recruit
host immune cells to kill the cancer cell. We have completed three Phase I clinical studies of ING-1,
testing both intravenous and subcutaneous formulations in patients with advanced or refractory
adenocarcinomas.

In October of 2004, we entered into an agreement with Triton BioSystems, Inc. (“Triton”) under which
Triton has in-licensed the exclusive worldwide right to use the ING-1 monoclonal antibody with
Triton’s Targeted Nano-Therapeutics™ (“TNT™”) System. The TNT™ System is an innovative product
that ablates tumors by using tiny magnetic spheres delivered, to the tumor, systemically with antibodies
and heated by means of a magnetic field directed to the tumor. The combination of the ING-1 antibody
with the TNT™ System is intended to create a novel, highly selective, safe, and effective treatment for
adenocarcinomas, such as breast, colorectal, lung, ovary and prostate. ING-1 remains available for
licensing outside the field covered by the Triton license.

• XMP.629 is a topical anti-bacterial formulation of a BPI-derived peptide under development as a
possible treatment for acne. Certain bacteria commonly found on human skin are associated with
inflammatory lesions in acne patients. The emergence of strains resistant to current antibiotics used to
treat acne has encouraged our researchers to review the properties of the compound for this
dermatological indication. In 2003, we completed two Phase I clinical trials to evaluate skin irritation
and pharmacokinetics of the compound. In January of 2004, we announced the initiation of Phase II
clinical testing in patients with mild-to-moderate acne. In August of 2004, we announced that the results
of this trial were inconclusive in demonstrating a clinical benefit of XMP.629 when compared with
vehicle gel, and we are conducting further analysis to determine whether and how to continue clinical
development of the product.

Below is a summary of certain proprietary technologies used by us and available for licensing to other

companies:

• Bacterial Cell Expression (“BCE”). Genetically engineered bacteria can be the appropriate choice for
recombinant expression of target proteins for biopharmaceutical research and development. Reasons
include the relative simplicity of gene expression in bacteria as well as many years of experience
culturing such species as E. coli in laboratories and manufacturing facilities. In support of our own
biopharmaceutical development efforts, company scientists have developed efficient and cost-effective
bacterial expression technologies for producing antibodies and other recombinant protein products.

We have granted approximately 40 licenses to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to use our
patented and proprietary technologies relating to bacterial expression of recombinant pharmaceutical
products. Bacterial antibody expression is an enabling technology for the discovery and selection, as
well as the development and manufacture, of recombinant protein pharmaceuticals, including diagnostic
and therapeutic antibodies for commercial purposes. Bacterial antibody expression is also a key

4

technology used in multiple systems for high-throughput screening of antibody domains. Expression of
antibodies by phage display technology, for example, depends upon the expression and secretion of
antibody domains from bacteria as properly folded, functional proteins.

These licenses are sometimes associated with broader collaboration agreements. For example, in
December of 2003, we entered into a licensing and product development agreement with Diversa
Corporation (“Diversa”). Under the terms of the agreement, Diversa received a license to use our
antibody expression technology for developing antibody products independently and with collaborators
and an option to a license for the production of antibodies under our patents. We will receive a license
fee and potential future milestone and royalty payments. Under the terms of the development portion of
the agreement, we will combine our respective capabilities to discover and develop antibodies. Diversa
will receive research funding from us and is entitled to receive milestones and royalties on any drugs
developed under this portion of the agreement.

As of December 31, 2005, we were aware of two antibody products in late-stage clinical testing which
are manufactured under licenses using our BCE technologies. These are UCB’s CIMZIA™ anti-TNF
alpha antibody fragment in trials for Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis, and Genentech’s
Lucentis™ (ranibizumab) antibody fragment against Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (“VEGF”) in
trials for wet age-related macular degeneration.

• Human Engineering™ is a proprietary technology that allows modification of non-human monoclonal
antibodies to reduce or eliminate detectable immunogenicity in humans. The technology uses a unique
algorithm developed by us, based on analysis of the conserved structure-function relationships among
antibodies. The method defines which residues in a non-human variable region are candidates to be
modified. The result is a Human Engineered™ antibody with preserved antigen binding, structure and
function and eliminated or greatly reduced immunogenicity.

Human Engineering™ technology is used in our ING-1 anti-Ep-CAM antibody product, which targets
multiple adenocarcinomas and which has been licensed to Triton for use as a targeting antibody in their
TNT™ System.

In addition, we have access to multiple phage display libraries for the discovery of antibodies. We believe

that access to multiple libraries offers us several benefits, including an increased probability of technical success

5

in finding high-affinity antibodies to particular targets of interest while reducing development time by permitting
screening libraries in parallel where feasible. These arrangements also provide us with access to certain
intellectual property rights and services that complement our existing development capabilities and help support
our antibody product development pipeline.

Our fully integrated infrastructure also allows us to offer technical development and manufacturing services
on a fee-for-service basis. In particular, we have established a strategic antibody manufacturing relationship with
Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cubist”) under which we will develop new processes to manufacture HepeX-B™,
a novel two-antibody biologic, in quantities sufficient to conduct Phase III clinical trials, and we were awarded
an 18-month contract worth approximately $15 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (“NIAID”) in March of 2005 to develop three antibody therapeutics.

Financial and Legal Arrangements of Product Collaborations and Licensing Arrangements

Current Agreements

Genentech

In April of 1996, we entered into an agreement with Genentech for the development of RAPTIVA®. In
March of 2003, we entered into amended and expanded agreements related to all aspects of the collaboration, to
reflect the then current understanding between the companies. The agreements called for us to share in the
development costs and to receive a 25% share of future U.S. operating profits and losses and a royalty on sales
outside the U.S. The agreements also called for Genentech to finance our share of development costs up until
first FDA marketing approval via a convertible subordinated loan, and our share of pre-launch marketing and
sales costs via an additional commercial loan facility. Under the loan agreement, upon FDA approval of the
product, which occurred October 27, 2003, we elected to pay $29.6 million of the development loan in
convertible preference shares and to defer repayment of the remaining $40.0 million as an offset against future
proceeds from our 25% share of U.S. operating profits on the product. On December 22, 2003, we issued the
preference shares to Genentech which are convertible into approximately 3.8 million common shares at a price of
$7.75 per common share. The $13.4 million of outstanding principal and interest on the commercial loan was
payable only in cash and was paid in January and May of 2004.

RAPTIVA® is licensed by Genentech outside of the United States and Japan through an agreement made

with Serono in August of 2002.

In January of 2005, we announced a restructuring of our arrangement with Genentech on RAPTIVA®.

Under the restructured arrangement, effective January 1, 2005, we are entitled to receive mid-single digit
royalties on worldwide sales of RAPTIVA® in all indications. The previous cost and profit sharing arrangement
for RAPTIVA® in the United States was discontinued, and Genentech will be responsible for all operating and
development costs associated with the product. Genentech may elect and we may agree to provide further clinical
trial or other development services at Genentech’s expense. In addition, our obligation to pay the outstanding
balance to Genentech of $40.9 million under the development loan, including accrued interest, was extinguished.

Either party has the right to terminate upon the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The

agreement remains in effect until such time as no product which is the subject of the agreement is being
developed or commercialized anywhere in the world by Genentech, its partners outside the United States, or any
sublicensees of the foregoing.

Chiron

In February of 2004, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide, multi-product collaboration with Chiron to

develop and commercialize antibody products for the treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, the
companies agreed to jointly research, develop, and commercialize multiple antibody product candidates. The

6

companies share expenses and revenues, generally on a 70-30 basis, with our share being 30%. Chiron’s profit
share is subject to a limited upward adjustment, which, in turn, may be reduced if we achieve certain milestones
or if Chiron elects to extend the program from three to five years. Financial terms include initial payments to us
in 2004 totaling $10.0 million and a loan facility, secured by our interest in the collaboration, of up to $50.0
million to fund up to 75% of our share of expenses beginning in 2005. At December 31, 2005, the outstanding
principal balance under this note agreement totaled $12.4 million.

In July of 2004, Chiron acquired Sagres Discovery, a privately held discovery-stage company based in

Davis, California, that specializes in the discovery and validation of oncology targets. Further review of these
targets could identify additional antibody target candidates for our collaboration.

In October of 2005, Chiron announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novartis AG

(NYSE:NVS) (“Novartis”) under which Novartis will acquire all of the shares of Chiron that it does not currently
own. The merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2006.

Aphton

In September of 2004, we announced a worldwide collaboration with Aphton to develop treatments for
gastrointestinal and other gastrin-sensitive cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Under the terms of
the agreement, the companies agreed to share all development expenses and all commercialization profits and
losses for all product candidates on a 70/30 basis, with our share being 30%. We will have worldwide
manufacturing rights for these products and the ability to share up to 30% in the commercialization efforts in the
United States. Aphton shares U.S. commercialization rights and is entitled to have exclusive rights to
commercialize all products outside the United States. Antibodies to be developed under the collaboration will
bind and neutralize the hormone gastrin 17 that is believed to be involved in tumor progression in GI cancers.
Gastrin expression and the appearance of gastrin receptors have been associated with increasing malignant
characteristics of GI tumors and with poorer prognostic outcomes. Specifically, gastrin has been shown to be
involved in the progression of colorectal, stomach, liver and pancreatic cancers and inhibiting gastrin may inhibit
such growth.

Either party has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement without cause following six months

written notice to the other party or with cause upon the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The
agreements remain in effect until all development and commercialization under the agreement has been
discontinued unless sooner terminated.

Lexicon

In June of 2005, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Lexicon to jointly develop and
commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets discovered by Lexicon. The collaboration is designed to
combine Lexicon’s target discovery and biotherapeutics capabilities with XOMA’s antibody generation, process
development and manufacturing expertise to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel
therapeutic antibodies.

During the three-year initial term, Lexicon will select for submission to the collaboration targets from
among those discovered and analyzed in its Genome5000™ program. In this program, Lexicon is using its gene
knockout technology to discover the physiological functions of 5,000 potential drug targets. XOMA will generate
or engineer antibodies that modulate the collaboration’s targets using phage display libraries and its proprietary
Human Engineering™ technology. Lexicon and XOMA will share the responsibility and costs for research,
preclinical, clinical and commercialization activities. Costs and profits will be allocated 65% to Lexicon and 35%
to XOMA. XOMA will have principal responsibility for manufacturing antibodies for use in clinical trials and
commercial sales.

7

Either party has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement without cause following six months

written notice to the other party or with cause upon the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The
agreements remain in effect until the least of (a) the expiration or termination of the last to expire of any valid
claim included in the Program Patent Rights, (b) the expiration of the royalty term, or (c) the cessation all
development and commercialization under the agreement.

Millennium

In November of 2001, in conjunction with Millennium, we announced an agreement under which we would

collaborate to develop two of Millennium’s biotherapeutic agents, MLN2222 (also known as CAB2) and
MLN2201, for certain vascular inflammation indications. Under the original agreement, for each product, we
were responsible for development activities and related costs through the completion of Phase II trials and for
payments to Millennium upon the achievement of certain clinical milestones. After successful completion of
Phase II trials, Millennium would have had the right to commercialize the products and we would have had the
option to choose between continued participation in the development programs and future profit/loss sharing or
being entitled to future royalty and milestone payments.

Under a related investment agreement, Millennium committed to purchase, at our option, up to $50.0

million worth of our common shares over three years, through a combination of equity at prevailing market
prices in return for cash and retirement of our convertible debt.

In October of 2003, we announced the discontinuation of development of MLN2201, based on preliminary
data from a Phase I study that did not meet predefined criteria necessary to support further product development
efforts. As a result, we amended the development and investment agreements with Millennium. Under the terms
of the amended development agreement, we have no future obligations to make milestone payments to
Millennium for MLN2201. Under the terms of the amended investment agreement the then remaining funding
amounts were reduced by 40% from a total of $33.5 million to a total of $20.1 million.

In December of 2003, we announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a

complement inhibitor for coronary artery bypass graft surgery targeting vascular inflammation associated with
such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. In October of
2004, we announced the amendment of our agreements with Millennium whereby Millennium assumed
responsibility for all development work and expenses for MLN2222 upon initiation of Phase II testing. We have
now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and have transferred the relevant clinical data from the trial to
Millennium. We are obligated to continue to provide quantities of bulk drug substance and services requested
and paid for by Millennium for future clinical trials. We will be entitled to receive an undisclosed royalty on
future net sales of MLN2222, as well as payments related to the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory
milestones.

In July of 2004, we exercised an option to sell 920,284 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $3.7
million or $3.99 per share; in November of 2003, we exercised an option to sell 763,719 shares to Millennium for
gross proceeds of $5.4 million or $7.07 per share; in June of 2003, we exercised an option to sell 608,766 shares
to Millennium for gross proceeds of $4.0 million or $6.57 per share; and, in December of 2002, we exercised an
option to sell 1,443,418 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $7.5 million or $5.20 per share. In April of
2004, we repaid $5.0 million of convertible debt to Millennium in full in cash. In October of 2004, the
investment agreement with Millennium was terminated and there will be no further issuance of our common
shares to Millennium.

Either party has the right to terminate the development agreement upon the breach of a material obligation

by the other party.

8

Triton

In October of 2004, we entered into an agreement with Triton under which Triton has licensed the exclusive

worldwide rights from us to use our ING-1 monoclonal antibody with Triton’s TNT™ System. The TNT™
System is an innovative product that ablates tumors by using tiny magnetic spheres delivered, to the tumor,
systemically with antibodies and heated by means of a magnetic field directed to the tumor. The combination of
the ING-1 antibody with the TNT™ System is intended to create a novel, highly selective, safe, and effective
treatment for adenocarcinomas, such as breast, colorectal, lung, ovary and prostate. The license to Triton includes
U.S. and foreign patent rights related to our ING-1 and Human Engineering™ technologies along with several
pending applications. ING-1 remains available for licensing outside the field covered by the Triton license.

Either party has the right to terminate the agreement upon the breach of a material obligation by the other

party. The licenses granted under the agreement remain in effect until terminated.

Cubist

In September of 2005, we announced that we had signed a letter agreement with Cubist to develop
production processes and to manufacture HepeX-B™, a novel two-antibody biologic, in quantities sufficient to
conduct Phase III clinical trials. HepeX-B™ is a combination of two fully human monoclonal antibodies that
target hepatitis B virus (“HBV”) surface antigens. The product, which has been granted Orphan Drug Status in
both the United States and the European Union, is currently being evaluated in Phase II trials for the prevention
of HBV re-infection in liver transplant patients. If the contemplated Phase III trials are successful, the companies
may extend the relationship to a commercial supply agreement for product launch.

NIAID

In March of 2005, we were awarded a $15.0 million contract from NIAID, a division of the National
Institutes of Health (“NIH”), to develop three anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibody therapeutics. The
contract work will be performed over an 18-month period and will be 100% funded with Federal funds from
NIAID under Contract No. HHSN266200500004C. We recognize revenue over the life of the contract as the
services are performed and, as per the terms of the contract, a 10% retention on all revenue is deferred and
classified as a receivable until completion of the contract. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we
recorded revenues of $5.2 million from this contract.

Recently Terminated Agreements

Onyx

In January of 2001, we entered into a strategic process development and manufacturing agreement with

Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Onyx”). The initial term was five years, with options to extend for additional
periods. Under the terms of the agreement, Onyx was obliged to pay us an initial payment as well as payments
for development work and material produced and payments upon achieving key milestones. In June of 2003,
Onyx announced that it was discontinuing its therapeutic virus program to focus its resources on its BAY
43-9006 anticancer compound. On June 23, 2003, Onyx notified us of its intention to terminate the process
development and manufacturing agreement effective 120 days from the date of notification. Onyx paid $0.5
million as a facility fee plus $1.0 million as a termination fee in the fourth quarter of 2003 and, in accordance
with our revenue recognition policy, these amounts were recognized as revenue because our service
commitments were completed. Additionally, we accelerated the amortization of $1.0 million remaining in
deferred revenue over the 120-day notification period.

Baxter

In January of 2000, we entered into license and supply agreements with the Hyland Immuno division of
Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”) for NEUPREX® for treatment of meningococcemia and substantially

9

all future antibacterial and anti-endotoxin human clinical indications. In July of 2003, Baxter terminated the
license and supply agreements for the NEUPREX® product. Baxter agreed to make a one-time termination
payment of $10.0 million to us. Until the payment was made, Baxter continued to reimburse us for a portion of
certain development expenses that we incurred. We recognized the $10.0 million termination fee as revenue in
the third quarter of 2003 and wrote-off, as research and development expense, $1.3 million related to
NEUPREX® inventory on hand at the termination date. The $10.0 million termination payment was received in
January of 2004.

Alexion

In December of 2003, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

(“Alexion”) to jointly develop and commercialize a rationally designed TPO mimetic antibody to treat
chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is an abnormal blood condition in which the
number of platelets is reduced, potentially leading to bleeding complications. Under the terms of the agreement,
we agreed to share development and commercialization expenses with Alexion, including preclinical
development, manufacturing and marketing costs world-wide, as well as revenues, generally on a 70-30 basis,
with our share being 30%. Alexion received a payment from us tied to initiation of the collaboration and is
entitled to receive a payment tied to achievement of a regulatory milestone. We will be entitled to royalty
payments and milestones related to our bacterial expression technology. In November of 2004, in conjunction
with Alexion, we determined that the lead molecule in our TPO mimetic collaboration did not meet the criteria
established in the program for continued development. In the first quarter of 2005, in conjunction with Alexion,
we determined not to continue with this development program and in the second quarter of 2005, the
collaboration was terminated.

Zephyr

In November of 2004, we entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Zephyr Sciences,
Inc. (“Zephyr”) for the research, development and commercialization of products related to BPI, including our
NEUPREX® product which is a particular fragment of rBPI and has been tested in clinical trials in several
indications. Under the terms of the agreement, we will be entitled to receive license fees totaling up to
$11.0 million and milestone payments totaling up to $61.9 million, as well as royalties on sales of future products
developed and approved under the agreement. The agreement also includes due diligence provisions related to
the development of BPI in multiple indications with Zephyr funding all future research and development
activities. The agreement does not cover BPI-derived peptide products. In November of 2004, we announced the
licensing of our BPI product platform, including our NEUPREX® product, to Zephyr. In July of 2005, we
announced our decision to terminate the license agreement with Zephyr due to Zephyr not meeting the financing
requirements of the license agreement. We have no further obligations under the terms of the original agreement
nor will there be any additional costs related to the termination of the agreement.

Other Products

We are seeking development and marketing partners for additional products in our pipeline. No assurance

can be given regarding the timing or likelihood of future collaborative arrangements or of product licensure.

We are also pursuing additional opportunities to further broaden our product pipeline through product

development collaborations with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Competition

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are subject to continuous and substantial technological
change. Competition in the areas of recombinant DNA-based and antibody-based technologies is intense and
expected to increase as new technologies emerge and established biotechnology firms and large chemical and

10

pharmaceutical companies continue to advance in the field. A number of these large pharmaceutical and
chemical companies have enhanced their capabilities by entering into arrangements with or acquiring
biotechnology companies or entering into business combinations with other large pharmaceutical companies.
Many of these companies have significantly greater financial resources, larger research and development and
marketing staffs and larger production facilities than ours. Moreover, certain of these companies have extensive
experience in undertaking preclinical testing and human clinical trials. These factors may enable other companies
to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to ours. In addition, a significant amount of
research in biotechnology is being carried out in universities and other non-profit research organizations. These
entities are becoming increasingly interested in the commercial value of their work and may become more
aggressive in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that developments
by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or uncompetitive.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are aware that:

•

In April of 2004, Amgen Inc. and its partner Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth, announced
that their rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis drug, Enbrel®, had been approved by the FDA for
the same psoriasis indication as RAPTIVA® and, in September of 2004, they announced that the product
received approval in the European Union in this same indication;

• Biogen Idec Inc. has been marketing Amevive® in the U.S. to treat the same psoriasis indication as

RAPTIVA® and announced in October of 2004 that it had received approval in Canada;

• Biogen Idec Inc. and Fumapharm AG have taken their psoriasis-treating pill, BG-12, through a Phase III
trial in Germany in which, according to the companies, the product significantly reduced psoriasis
symptoms in patients;

• Centocor, Inc., a unit of Johnson & Johnson, has tested its rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease

drug, Remicade®, in phase III clinical trials of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and has
announced that the FDA has accepted its license application for this drug in the indication and that the
drug has been approved to treat plaque psoriasis in the European Union, psoriatic arthritis in the U.S.
and, in combination with methotrexate, in the European Union;

• Abbott Laboratories has presented data from a Phase II psoriasis trial showing clinical benefits of its

rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis drug Humira™;

•

•

Isotechnika, Inc. has completed a Canadian Phase III trial of ISA247, a trans-isomer of a cyclosporine
analog, in 450 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, achieving all efficacy endpoints; and

other companies are developing monoclonal antibody or other products for treatment of inflammatory
skin disorders.

There are at least two drugs which may compete with MLN2222. TP10 is a complement inhibitor developed

by AVANT Immunotherapeutics Inc. (“AVANT”) for applications including the limitation of complement-
mediated damage following surgery on cardiopulmonary by-pass. AVANT has completed a Phase II study where
the drug demonstrated treatment benefits in males. Alexion and its partner Proctor & Gamble are developing
pexelizumab, a monoclonal antibody. The companies reported in November of 2005 that preliminary results in a
Phase III trial of the drug did not achieve its primary endpoint in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft
surgery.

Currently, there are at least two companies developing topical peptide treatments for acne which may
compete with XMP.629. Migenix Inc. and its partner Cutanea Life Sciences, Inc. are developing MBI 594AN, a
topical peptide that has completed two Phase II trials for the treatment of acne, and Helix Biomedix, Inc. is
developing several peptide compounds.

In collaboration with Chiron, we are co-developing the monoclonal antibody target CD40, and, at the
current time, there are several CD40-related programs under development, mostly focused on the development of

11

CD40 ligand products. For example, SGN-40 is a humanized monoclonal antibody under development by Seattle
Genetics, Inc. which is targeting CD40 antigen. SGN-40 is currently in Phase I studies in multiple myeloma and
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and in a Phase I/II study in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

It is also possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same human protein

as our NEUPREX® product, and these products may prove to be more effective than NEUPREX®. It is also
possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same therapeutic target as our
XMA005.2 product, and these products may prove to be more effective than XMA005.2.

Regulatory

Our products are subject to comprehensive preclinical and clinical testing requirements and to approval
processes by the FDA and by similar authorities in other countries. Our products are primarily regulated on a
product-by-product basis under the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and Section 351(a) of the Public Health
Service Act. Most of our human therapeutic products are or will be classified as biologic products. Approval of a
biologic for commercialization requires licensure of the product and the manufacturing facilities. The review of
therapeutic biologic products has been transferred within the FDA from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the body that reviews drug products. Because
implementation of this plan may not be complete, we do not know when or how this change will affect it.

The FDA regulatory process is carried out in several phases. Prior to beginning human clinical testing of a
proposed new biologic product, an IND is filed with the FDA. This document contains scientific information on
the proposed product, including results of testing of the product in animal and laboratory models. Also included
is information on manufacture of the product and studies on toxicity in animals and a clinical protocol outlining
the initial investigation in humans.

The initial stage of clinical testing, Phase I, ordinarily encompasses safety, pharmacokinetic and

pharmacodynamic evaluations. Phase II testing encompasses investigation in specific disease states designed to
provide preliminary efficacy data and additional information on safety. Phase III studies are designed to further
establish clinical safety and efficacy and to provide information allowing proper labeling of the product
following approval. Phase III studies are most commonly multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trials in
which rigorous statistical methodology is applied to clinical results. Other designs may also be appropriate in
specific circumstances.

Following completion of clinical trials, a Biologics License Application is submitted to the FDA to request

marketing approval. Internal FDA committees are formed that evaluate the application, including scientific
background information, animal and laboratory efficacy studies, toxicology, manufacturing facility and clinical
data. During the review process, a dialogue between the FDA and the applicant is established in which FDA
questions are raised and additional information is submitted. During the final stages of the approval process, the
FDA generally requests presentation of clinical or other data before an FDA advisory committee, at which point,
some or all of such data may become available. Also, during the later stages of review, the FDA conducts an
inspection of the manufacturing facility to establish that the product is made in conformity with good
manufacturing practice. If all outstanding issues are satisfactorily resolved and labeling established, the FDA
issues a license for the product and for the manufacturing facility, thereby authorizing commercial distribution.

The FDA has substantial discretion in both the product approval process and the manufacturing approval

process. It is not possible to predict at what point, or whether, the FDA will be satisfied with our submissions or
whether the FDA will raise questions which may delay or preclude product approval or manufacturing facility
approval. As additional clinical data is accumulated, it will be submitted to the FDA and may have a material
impact on the FDA product approval process. Given that regulatory review is an interactive and continuous
process, we have adopted a policy of limiting announcements and comments upon the specific details of the
ongoing regulatory review of our products, subject to our obligations under the securities laws, until definitive

12

action is taken. There can be no assurance any of the products we have under development will be developed
successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory approval or be successfully manufactured or marketed.

In Europe, most of our human therapeutic products are or will be classified as biologic and would be subject
to a single European registration through a centralized procedure. The assessment of the Marketing Authorization
Application is carried out by a rapporteur and co-rapporteur appointed by the Committee for Medicinal Products
for Human Use (“CHMP”), which is the expert scientific committee of the EMEA.

The rapporteur and co-rapporteur are drawn from the CHMP membership representing member states of the
European Union. They liaise with the applicant on behalf of the CHMP in an effort to provide answers to queries
raised by the CHMP. Their assessment report(s) is circulated to and considered by the full CHMP membership,
leading to the production ultimately of a CHMP opinion which is transmitted to the applicant and Commission.
The final decision on an application is issued by the Commission. When a positive decision is reached, a
Marketing Authorization (“MA”) will be issued. Once approval is granted, the product can be marketed under the
single European MA in all member states of the European Union. Consistent with the single MA, the labeling for
Europe is identical throughout all member states except that all labeling must be translated into the local
language of the country of intended importation and in relation to the content of the so called “blue box” on the
outer packaging in which locally required information may be inserted. There can be no assurance any of our
products under development will be developed successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory approval or be
successfully manufactured or marketed.

Patents and Trade Secrets

As a result of our ongoing activities, we hold and are in the process of applying for a number of patents in

the United States and abroad to protect our products and important processes. We also have obtained or have the
right to obtain exclusive licenses to certain patents and applications filed by others. However, the patent position
of biotechnology companies generally is highly uncertain and no consistent policy regarding the breadth of
allowed claims has emerged from the actions of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“Patent Office”) with
respect to biotechnology patents. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our patents will afford protection
against competitors with similar technologies, or others will not obtain patents claiming aspects similar to those
covered by our patent applications.

We have established an extensive portfolio of patents and applications, both in the U.S. and internationally,
related to our BPI-related products, including novel compositions, their manufacture, formulation, assay and use.
We are also the exclusive licensee of BPI-related patents and applications owned by New York University
(“NYU”). These include seven issued U.S. patents directed to novel BPI-related protein and DNA compositions,
as well as their production and uses. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,198,541 and 5,641,874, issued to NYU, relate to the
recombinant production of BPI. We believe these patents have substantial value because they cover certain
production methodologies that allow production of commercial-scale quantities of BPI for human use. In
addition, the European Patent Office granted to NYU, EP 375724, with claims to N-terminal BPI fragments and
their use, alone or in conjunction with antibiotics, for the treatment of conditions associated with bacterial
infections. We are also the exclusive licensee of BPI-related patents and applications owned by Incyte
Corporation (“Incyte”), including those related to endotoxin-associated uses of BPI, uses of BPI with
polymannuronic acid and LBP-BPI proteins.

We have established a portfolio of patents and applications related to our LBP-related assays and products,
including diagnostic and prognostic methods for measuring LBP levels in humans. We have also acquired, from
Johnson & Johnson, an exclusive sublicense to their LBP-related portfolio, including six U.S. patents issued to
the discoverers of LBP, Drs. Richard Ulevitch and Peter Tobias, at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.

We have established a portfolio of patents, both in the U.S. and internationally, related to our bacterial
expression technology, including claims to novel promoter sequences, secretion signal sequences, compositions

13

and methods for expression and secretion of recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene
products. U.S. Patent No. 5,028,530, issued to us, is directed to expression vehicles containing an araB promoter,
host cells and processes for regulated expression of recombinant proteins. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,576,195 and
5,846,818 are related to DNA encoding a pectate lyase signal sequence, recombinant vectors, host cells and
methods for production and externalization of recombinant proteins. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,898, 5,698,435 and
5,618,920 address secretable immunoglobulin chains, DNA encoding the chains and methods for their
recombinant production. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,693,493, 5,698,417 and 6,204,023 relate to methods for recombinant
production/secretion of functional immunoglobulin molecules.

If certain patents issued to others are upheld or if certain patent applications filed by others issue and are

upheld, we may require certain licenses from others in order to develop and commercialize certain potential
products incorporating our technology. There can be no assurance that such licenses, if required, will be available
on acceptable terms.

Research and License Agreements

We have contracted with a number of academic and institutional collaborators to conduct research and
development activities. Under these agreements, we generally fund either the research and development or
evaluation of products, technologies or both, will own or obtain exclusive licenses to products or technologies
developed and may pay royalties on sales of products covered by certain licenses. The rates and durations of such
royalty payments vary by product and institution and range, generally, for periods from five years to indefinite
duration. Aggregate expenses incurred by us under all of our research agreements were negligible for each of
2005, 2004 and 2003. We have entered into certain license agreements with respect to the following products:

•

•

In August of 1990, we entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with NYU whereby
we obtained an exclusive license to patent rights for DNA materials and genetic engineering methods
for the production of BPI and fragments thereof. BPI is part of the body’s natural defense system against
infection and we are investigating the use of products based on BPI for various indications. We have
obtained an exclusive, worldwide license for the development, manufacture, sale and use of BPI
products for all therapeutic and diagnostic uses, have paid a license fee, will make milestone payments
and pay royalties to NYU on the sale of such products. The license becomes fully paid upon the later of
the expiration of the relevant patents or fifteen years after the first commercial sale, subject to NYU’s
right to terminate for certain events of default.

Each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon a material breach by the other party of the
performance of its obligations under the agreement, subject to customary cure periods. Upon
termination of the agreement prior to the expiration of the relevant patents, all rights in and to NYU’s
intellectual property revert to NYU.

In July of 1998, we entered into a license agreement with Incyte whereby we obtained an exclusive
(even as to Incyte), freely sublicenseable, worldwide license to all of Incyte’s patent rights relating to
BPI. We will pay Incyte a royalty on sales of BPI products covered by the license, up to a maximum of
$11.5 million and made a $1.5 million advance royalty payment, one-half in cash and one-half in our
common shares. We also issued warrants to Incyte to purchase 250,000 of our common shares at $6.00
per share. As of December 31, 2005, 125,000 of these warrants remain outstanding. Due to offsets
against other royalties, we may not ultimately incur increased total BPI royalty payments as a result of
this license.

The agreement expires in July of 2008 unless, on or prior to such date, the license granted therein
becomes fully paid up in accordance with its terms. Incyte has the right to terminate the agreement
(subject to a customary cure period) upon a breach by us of any of our material obligations under the
agreement.

International Operations

We believe that, because the pharmaceutical industry is global in nature, international activities will be a

significant part of our future business activities and that, when and if we are able to generate income, a
substantial portion of that income will be derived from product sales and other activities outside the United
States.

A number of risks are inherent in international operations. Foreign regulatory agencies often establish
standards different from those in the United States. An inability to obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a
timely basis could have an adverse effect on our international business, financial condition and results of
operations. International operations may be limited or disrupted by the imposition of government controls, export
license requirements, political or economic instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs, restrictions on
repatriating profits, taxation or difficulties in staffing and managing international operations. In addition, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully operate in any foreign market.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981 and became a Bermuda company effective December 31, 1998,

when we completed a shareholder-approved corporate reorganization, changing our legal domicile from
Delaware to Bermuda and our name to XOMA Ltd. When referring to a time or period before December 31,
1998, or when the context so requires, the terms “Company” and “XOMA” refer to XOMA Corporation, a
Delaware corporation and the predecessor of XOMA Ltd.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we employed 218 non-unionized full-time employees at our California facilities,
principally in Berkeley, California, and one employee in Ireland. Our employees are engaged in clinical, process
development and manufacturing, quality assurance and control, research and product development, and in
executive, finance and administrative positions. We consider our employee relations to be excellent.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our revenues currently rely significantly on RAPTIVA® sales.

Currently, our revenues rely significantly upon sales of RAPTIVA®, the only pharmaceutical product in
which we have a royalty interest that has received regulatory approval. RAPTIVA® was approved by the FDA on
October 27, 2003, for the treatment of chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates
for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Genentech and Serono, Genentech’s international marketing partner for
RAPTIVA®, are responsible for the marketing and sales effort in support of this product. In September of 2004,
Serono announced that RAPTIVA® had received approval for use in the European Union and the product was
launched in several European Union countries in the fourth quarter of 2004. We have no role in marketing and
sales efforts, and neither Genentech nor Serono has an express contractual obligation to us regarding the
marketing or sales of RAPTIVA®.

Under our current arrangement with Genentech, we are entitled to receive royalties on worldwide sales of

RAPTIVA®. Successful commercialization of this product is subject to a number of risks, including, but not
limited to:

• Genentech’s and Serono’s willingness and ability to implement their marketing and sales effort and

achieve sales;

•

•

•

the strength of competition from other products being marketed or developed to treat psoriasis;

the occurrence of adverse events which may give rise to safety concerns;

physicians’ and patients’ acceptance of RAPTIVA® as a treatment for psoriasis;

• Genentech’s ability to provide manufacturing capacity to meet demand for the product; and

•

pricing and reimbursement issues.

According to Genentech, United States sales of RAPTIVA® for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $20.4
million, compared to $20.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. According to Serono, sales of RAPTIVA®
outside of the United States for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $11.6 million, compared to $10.0 million for the
third quarter of 2005. Given our current reliance on RAPTIVA® as one of the principal sources of our revenue,
any material adverse developments with respect to the commercialization of RAPTIVA® may cause our revenue
to decrease and may cause us to incur losses in the future.

Because our products are still being developed, we will require substantial funds to continue; we cannot be
certain that funds will be available and, if they are not available, we may have to take actions which could
adversely affect your investment.

If adequate funds are not available, we may have to raise additional funds in a manner that may dilute or

otherwise adversely affect the rights of existing shareholders, curtail or cease operations, or file for bankruptcy
protection in extreme circumstances. We have spent, and we expect to continue to spend, substantial funds in
connection with:

•

•

•

•

research and development relating to our products and production technologies,

expansion of our production capabilities,

various human clinical trials and

protection of our intellectual property.

Based on current spending levels, anticipated revenues, collaborator funding, proceeds from our convertible
note offerings in February of 2005 and February of 2006 and other sources of funding we believe to be available,
we estimate that we have sufficient cash resources to meet our anticipated net cash needs through at least 2008.

16

Any significant revenue shortfalls, increases in planned spending on development programs or more rapid
progress of development programs than anticipated, as well as the unavailability of anticipated sources of
funding, could shorten this period. Progress or setbacks by potentially competing products may also affect our
ability to raise new funding on acceptable terms. As a result, we do not know when or whether:

•

•

•

•

operations will generate meaningful funds,

additional agreements for product development funding can be reached,

strategic alliances can be negotiated or

adequate additional financing will be available for us to finance our own development on acceptable
terms, or at all.

Cash balances and operating cash flow are influenced primarily by the timing and level of payments by our

licensees and development partners, as well as by our operating costs.

Our level of leverage and debt service obligations could adversely affect our financial condition.

As of December 31, 2005, we (including our subsidiaries) had approximately $72.4 million of indebtedness
outstanding. We may not be able to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on and other amounts
due in respect of our indebtedness when due. We and our subsidiaries may also incur additional debt that may be
secured. In connection with our collaboration with Chiron, Chiron has extended a line of credit to us (through our
United States subsidiary) for $50.0 million to fund up to 75% of our expenses thereunder, of which $12.4 million
was drawn as of December 31, 2005. This line of credit is secured by a pledge of our interest in the collaboration.

Our level of debt and debt service obligations could have important effects on us and our investors. These

effects may include:

• making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our convertible notes and our

obligations to other persons with respect to our other debt;

•

•

•

•

•

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing or renew existing financing at maturity on satisfactory
terms to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt
service requirements and other general corporate requirements;

increasing our vulnerability to general economic downturns, competition and industry conditions, which
could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged;

increasing our exposure to rising interest rates to the extent any of our borrowings are at variable interest
rates;

reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, investments and other general corporate requirements because we will be
required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow to service debt obligations; and

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which
we operate.

Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance and the
availability of refinancing debt. If we are unable to service our debt and fund our business, we may be forced to
reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional debt financing or equity capital, restructure or refinance our
debt or sell assets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain additional financing, refinance existing
debt or sell assets on satisfactory terms or at all.

17

Most of our therapeutic products have not received regulatory approval. If these products do not receive
regulatory approval, neither our third party collaborators nor we will be able to manufacture and market
them.

Our products cannot be manufactured and marketed in the United States and other countries without
required regulatory approvals. Only one of our therapeutic products, RAPTIVA®, has received regulatory
approval. The United States government and governments of other countries extensively regulate many aspects
of our products, including:

•

testing,

• manufacturing,

•

•

promotion and marketing and

exporting.

In the United States, the FDA regulates pharmaceutical products under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act and other laws, including, in the case of biologics, the Public Health Service Act. At the present
time, we believe that most of our products will be regulated by the FDA as biologics. The review of therapeutic
biologic products has been transferred within the FDA from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research to
the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the body that reviews drug products. Because this transition may
not be complete, we do not know when or how this change will affect us. Changes in the regulatory approval
policy during the development period, changes in, or the enactment of, additional regulations or statutes or
changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application may cause delays in the approval or
rejection of an application. Even if the FDA or other regulatory agency approves a product candidate, the
approval may impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses, conditions for use, labeling, advertising,
promotion, marketing and/or production of such product. Even for approved products such as RAPTIVA®, the
FDA may impose ongoing requirements for post-approval studies, including additional research and development
and clinical trials, and may subsequently withdraw approval based on these additional trials. The FDA and other
agencies also may impose various civil or criminal sanctions for failure to comply with regulatory requirements,
including withdrawal of product approval. State regulations may also affect our proposed products. The FDA has
substantial discretion in both the product approval process and manufacturing facility approval process and, as a
result of this discretion and uncertainties about outcomes of testing, we cannot predict at what point, or whether,
the FDA will be satisfied with our or our collaborators’ submissions or whether the FDA will raise questions
which may be material and delay or preclude product approval or manufacturing facility approval. As we
accumulate additional clinical data, we will submit it to the FDA, which may have a material impact on the FDA
product approval process.

We face uncertain results of clinical trials of our potential products.

Our potential products will require significant additional research and development, extensive preclinical

studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval prior to any commercial sales. This process is lengthy and
expensive, often taking a number of years. As clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations
that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals, the length of time necessary to complete clinical trials and
to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly.
As a result, it is uncertain whether:

•

•

our future filings will be delayed,

our preclinical and clinical studies will be successful,

• we will be successful in generating viable product candidates to targets,

• we will be able to provide necessary additional data,

•

results of future clinical trials will justify further development or

• we will ultimately achieve regulatory approval for any of these products.

18

For example,

•

•

•

In 1996, in conjunction with Genentech, we began testing RAPTIVA® in patients with moderate-
to-severe plaque psoriasis. In April of 2002, we announced with Genentech that a pharmacokinetic study
conducted on RAPTIVA® comparing XOMA-produced material and Genentech-produced material did
not achieve the pre-defined statistical definition of comparability, and the FDA requested that another
Phase III study be completed before the filing of a Biologics License Application for RAPTIVA®,
delaying the filing beyond the previously-planned time frame of the summer of 2002. In March of 2003,
we announced completion of enrollment in a Phase II study of RAPTIVA® in patients suffering from
rheumatoid arthritis. In May of 2003, Genentech and we announced our decision to terminate Phase II
testing of RAPTIVA® in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis based on an evaluation by an
independent Data Safety Monitoring Board that suggested no overall net clinical benefit in patients
receiving the study drug. We also completed enrollment in a Phase II study of RAPTIVA® as a possible
treatment for patients with psoriatic arthritis. In March of 2004, we announced that the study did not
reach statistical significance.

In December of 1992, we began human testing of our NEUPREX® product, a genetically engineered
fragment of a particular human protein, and licensed certain worldwide rights to Baxter in January of
2000. In April of 2000, members of the FDA and representatives of XOMA and Baxter discussed results
from the Phase III trial that tested NEUPREX® in pediatric patients with a potentially deadly bacterial
infection called meningococcemia, and senior representatives of the FDA indicated that the data
presented were not sufficient to support the filing of an application for marketing approval at that time.

In 2003, we completed two Phase I trials of XMP.629, a BPI-derived topical peptide compound
targeting acne, evaluating the safety, skin irritation and pharmacokinetics. In January of 2004, we
announced the initiation of Phase II clinical testing in patients with mild-to-moderate acne. In August of
2004, we announced the results of a Phase II trial with XMP.629 gel. The results were inconclusive in
terms of clinical benefit of XMP.629 compared with vehicle gel.

Given that regulatory review is an interactive and continuous process, we maintain a policy of limiting
announcements and comments upon the specific details of regulatory review of our products, subject to our
obligations under the securities laws, until definitive action is taken.

Because all of our products are still being developed, we have sustained losses in the past and we expect to
sustain losses in the future.

We have experienced significant losses and, as of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of

$675.7 million.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as a result of the restructuring of our Genentech arrangement

and subsequent extinguishment of our obligation to pay $40.9 million under a development loan and related
one-time credit to other income, we had net income of approximately $2.8 million or $0.03 per common share
(basic and diluted). For the year ended December 31, 2004, we had a net loss of approximately $78.9 million, or
$0.93 per common share (basic and diluted). For the year ended December 31, 2003, we had a net loss of
approximately $58.7 million, or $0.78 per common share (basic and diluted). We expect to incur additional
losses in the future.

Our ability to achieve profitability is dependent in large part on the success of our development programs,

obtaining regulatory approval for our products and entering into new agreements for product development,
manufacturing and commercialization, all of which are uncertain. Our ability to fund our ongoing operations is
dependent on the foregoing factors and on our ability to secure additional funds. Because our products are still
being developed, we do not know whether we will ever achieve sustained profitability or whether cash flow from
future operations will be sufficient to meet our needs.

19

Our agreements with third parties, many of which are significant to our business, expose us to numerous
risks.

Our financial resources and our marketing experience and expertise are limited. Consequently, our ability to
successfully develop products depends, to a large extent, upon securing the financial resources and/or marketing
capabilities of third parties.

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

In April of 1996, we entered into an agreement with Genentech whereby we agreed to co-develop
Genentech’s humanized monoclonal antibody product RAPTIVA®. In April of 1999, March of 2003,
and January of 2005, the companies amended the agreement. In October of 2003, RAPTIVA® was
approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who
are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and, in September of 2004, Serono announced the
product’s approval in the European Union. In January of 2005, we entered into a restructuring of our
collaboration agreement with Genentech which ended our existing cost and profit sharing arrangement
related to RAPTIVA® in the United States and entitles us to a royalty interest on worldwide net sales.

In November of 2001, we entered into a collaboration with Millennium to develop two of Millennium’s
products for certain vascular inflammation indications. In October of 2003, we announced that we had
discontinued one of these products, MLN2201. In December of 2003, we announced the initiation of
Phase I testing on the other product, MLN2222.

In March of 2004, we announced we had agreed to collaborate with Chiron for the development and
commercialization of antibody products for the treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the agreement,
the companies will jointly research, develop, and commercialize multiple antibody product candidates.
In April of 2005, we announced the initiation of clinical testing of the first product candidate out of the
collaboration, CHIR-12.12, an anti-CD40 antibody, in patients with advanced CLL. In October 2005,
we announced the initiation of the second clinical trial of CHIR-12.12 in patients with multiple
myeloma.

In September of 2004, we entered into a collaboration with Aphton for the treatment of gastrointestinal
and other gastrin-sensitive cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies.

In October of 2004, we announced the licensing of our ING-1 product to Triton for use with their TNT™
System.

In March of 2005, we entered into a contract with the NIAID, a part of the National Institutes of Health,
to produce three botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies designed to protect United States citizens
against the harmful effects of biological agents used in bioterrorism.

In June of 2005, we announced the formation of a collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize
antibody drugs for certain targets discovered by Lexicon.

• We have licensed our bacterial cell expression technology, an enabling technology used to discover and

screen, as well as develop and manufacture, recombinant antibodies and other proteins for commercial
purposes, to approximately 40 companies. As of December 31, 2005, we were aware of two antibody
products in late-stage clinical testing which are manufactured using our BCE technology: UCB’s
CIMZIA™(CDP870) anti-TNF alpha antibody fragment for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease
and Genentech’s Lucentis™ (ranibizumab) antibody fragment to vascular endothelial growth factor for
wet age-related macular degeneration.

•

In September of 2005, we signed a letter agreement with Cubist to develop production processes and to
manufacture a novel two-antibody biologic in quantities sufficient to conduct Phase III clinical trials;
financial terms were not disclosed.

Because our collaborators and licensees are independent third parties, they may be subject to different risks

than we are and have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources they will apply. If these
collaborators and licensees do not successfully develop and market these products, we may not have the

20

capabilities, resources or rights to do so on our own. We do not know whether our collaborators or licensees will
successfully develop and market any of the products that are or may become the subject of one of our
collaboration or licensing arrangements. In particular, each of these arrangements provides for either sharing of
collaboration expenses, which means that not only we but our collaborators must have sufficient available funds
for the collaborations to continue, or funding solely by our collaborators or licensees. In addition, our
collaboration with Chiron provides for funding by it in the form of a line of credit to us, and we cannot be certain
that Chiron will have the necessary funds available when we attempt to draw on the line of credit. Furthermore,
our contract with NIAID contains numerous standard terms and conditions provided for in the applicable federal
acquisition regulations and customary in many government contracts. Uncertainty exists as to whether we will be
able to comply with these terms and conditions in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, given that this contract is
our first with NIAID or any other governmental agency, we are uncertain as to the extent of NIAID’s demands
and the flexibility that will be granted to us in meeting those demands. Lastly, neither CIMZIA™(CDP870) nor
Lucentis™ has received marketing approval from the FDA or any foreign governmental agency, and therefore we
cannot assure you that either product will prove to be safe and effective, will be approved for marketing or will
be successfully commercialized.

In October of 2005, Chiron announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novartis

under which Novartis will acquire all of the shares of Chiron that it does not currently own and that the merger is
expected to be completed in the first half of 2006. We do not know what effect, if any, this transaction will have
on our collaboration with Chiron.

Even when we have a collaborative relationship, other circumstances may prevent it from resulting in

successful development of marketable products.

•

•

•

In January of 2001, we entered into a strategic process development and manufacturing alliance with
Onyx to scale-up production to commercial volume of one of Onyx’s cancer products. In June of 2003,
Onyx notified us that it was discontinuing development of the product and terminating the agreement so
that it could focus on another of its anticancer compounds.

In December of 2003, we agreed to collaborate with Alexion for the development and
commercialization of an antibody to treat chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. The TPO mimetic
antibody was designed to mimic the activity of human thrombopoietin, a naturally occurring protein
responsible for platelet production. In November of 2004, in conjunction with Alexion, we determined
that the lead molecule in our TPO mimetic collaboration did not meet the criteria established in the
program for continued development. In the first quarter of 2005, the companies determined not to
continue with this development program and in the second quarter of 2005, the collaboration was
terminated.

In November of 2004, we announced the licensing of our BPI product platform, including our
NEUPREX® product, to Zephyr. In July of 2005, we announced our decision to terminate the license
agreement with Zephyr due to Zephyr not meeting the financing requirements of the license agreement.

Although we continue to evaluate additional strategic alliances and potential partnerships, we do not know

whether or when any such alliances or partnerships will be entered into.

Certain of our technologies are relatively new and are in-licensed from third parties, so our capabilities
using them are unproven and subject to additional risks.

We license technologies from third parties. These technologies include but are not limited to phage display
technologies licensed to us in connection with our BCE technology licensing program. However, our experience
with some of these technologies remains relatively limited and, to varying degrees, we are still dependent on the
licensing parties for training and technical support for these technologies. In addition, our use of these
technologies is limited by certain contractual provisions in the licenses relating to them and, although we have
obtained numerous licenses, intellectual property rights in the area of phage display are particularly complex. If

21

the owners of the patent rights underlying the technologies we license do not properly maintain or enforce those
patents, our competitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our success will depend in part on the
ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not
successfully prosecute the patent applications to which we have licenses, or our licensors may fail to maintain
existing patents. They may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing these
patents, or they may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. Our licensors may also seek to
terminate our license, which could cause us to lose the right to use the licensed intellectual property and
adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services.

Our share price may be volatile and there may not be an active trading market for our common shares.

There can be no assurance that the market price of our common shares will not decline below its present

market price or that there will be an active trading market for our common shares. The market prices of
biotechnology companies have been and are likely to continue to be highly volatile. Fluctuations in our operating
results and general market conditions for biotechnology stocks could have a significant impact on the volatility of
our common share price. We have experienced significant volatility in the price of our common shares. From
January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, our share price has ranged from a high of $2.74 to a low of $0.98.
On March 3, 2006, the closing price of the common shares as reported on the Nasdaq National Market was $1.81
per share. Factors contributing to such volatility include, but are not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

sales and estimated or forecasted sales of products,

results of preclinical studies and clinical trials,

information relating to the safety or efficacy of products,

developments regarding regulatory filings,

announcements of new collaborations,

failure to enter into collaborations,

developments in existing collaborations,

our funding requirements and the terms of our financing arrangements,

technological innovations or new indications for our therapeutic products,

introduction of new products or technologies by us or our competitors,

government regulations,

developments in patent or other proprietary rights,

the number of shares issued and outstanding,

the number of shares trading on an average trading day,

announcements regarding other participants in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and

• market speculation regarding any of the foregoing.

We or our third party collaborators or licensees may not have adequate manufacturing capacity sufficient
to meet market demand.

Genentech is responsible for manufacturing or arranging for the manufacturing of commercial quantities of

RAPTIVA®. Should Genentech have difficulty in providing manufacturing capacity to produce RAPTIVA® in
sufficient quantities, we do not know whether they will be able to meet market demand. If not, we will not realize
revenues from the sales of RAPTIVA® or other products. If any of our other products are approved, because we
have never commercially introduced any pharmaceutical products, we do not know whether the capacity of our
existing manufacturing facilities can be increased to produce sufficient quantities of our products to meet market

22

demand. Also, if we or our third party collaborators or licensees need additional manufacturing facilities to meet
market demand, we cannot predict that we will successfully obtain those facilities because we do not know
whether they will be available on acceptable terms. In addition, any manufacturing facilities acquired or used to
meet market demand must meet the FDA’s quality assurance guidelines.

We do not know whether there will be a viable market for RAPTIVA® or our other products.

Even though Genentech and we received approval in the United States in October of 2003 to market
RAPTIVA® and in the European Union in 2004 and even if we receive regulatory approval for our other
products, our products may not be accepted in the marketplace. In addition, we may experience difficulties in
launching new products, many of which are novel and based on technologies that are unfamiliar to the healthcare
community. We have no assurance that healthcare providers and patients will accept such products, if developed.
For example, physicians and/or patients may not accept a product for a particular indication because it has been
biologically derived (and not discovered and developed by more traditional means) or if no biologically derived
products are currently in widespread use in that indication. Similarly, physicians may not accept RAPTIVA® if
they believe other products to be more effective or are more comfortable prescribing other products. Safety
concerns may also arise in the course of on-going clinical trials or patient treatment as a result of adverse events
or reactions.

Furthermore, government agencies, as well as private organizations involved in healthcare, from time to

time publish guidelines or recommendations to healthcare providers and patients. Such guidelines or
recommendations can be very influential and may adversely affect the usage of any products we may develop
directly (for example, by recommending a decreased dosage of a product in conjunction with a concomitant
therapy or a government entity withdrawing its recommendation to screen blood donations for certain viruses) or
indirectly (for example, by recommending a competitive product over our product). Consequently, we do not
know if physicians or patients will adopt or use our products for their approved indications.

Products and technologies of other companies may render some or all of our products noncompetitive or
obsolete.

Developments by others may render our products or technologies obsolete or uncompetitive. Technologies

developed and utilized by the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are continuously and substantially
changing. Competition in the areas of genetically engineered DNA-based and antibody-based technologies is
intense and expected to increase in the future as a number of established biotechnology firms and large chemical
and pharmaceutical companies advance in these fields. Many of these competitors may be able to develop
products and processes competitive with or superior to our own for many reasons, including that they may have:

•

•

•

•

•

significantly greater financial resources,

larger research and development and marketing staffs,

larger production facilities,

entered into arrangements with, or acquired, biotechnology companies to enhance their capabilities or

extensive experience in preclinical testing and human clinical trials.

These factors may enable others to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to our own

or those of our collaborators. In addition, a significant amount of research in biotechnology is being carried out in
universities and other non-profit research organizations. These entities are becoming increasingly interested in
the commercial value of their work and may become more aggressive in seeking patent protection and licensing
arrangements. Furthermore, positive or negative developments in connection with a potentially competing
product may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise additional funding on acceptable terms. For example,
if another product is perceived to have a competitive advantage, or another product’s failure is perceived to

23

increase the likelihood that our product will fail, then investors may choose not to invest in us on terms we would
accept or at all.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are aware that:

•

in April of 2004, Amgen Inc. and its partner Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth, announced
that their rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis drug, Enbrel®, had been approved by the FDA for
the same psoriasis indication as RAPTIVA® and, in September of 2004, they announced that the product
received approval in the European Union in this same indication;

• Biogen Idec Inc. has been marketing Amevive® in the United States to treat the same psoriasis

indication as RAPTIVA® and announced in October of 2004 that it had received approval in Canada;

• Biogen Idec Inc. and Fumapharm AG have taken their psoriasis-treating pill, BG-12, through a Phase III
trial in Germany in which, according to the companies, the product significantly reduced psoriasis
symptoms in patients;

• Centocor, Inc., a unit of Johnson & Johnson, has tested its rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease

drug, Remicade®, in phase III clinical trials of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and has
announced the FDA has accepted its license application for this drug in the indication and that the drug
has been approved to treat plaque psoriasis in the European Union, psoriatic arthritis in the United States
and, in combination with methotrexate, in the European Union;

• Abbott Laboratories has presented data from a Phase II psoriasis trial showing clinical benefits of its

rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis drug Humira™ for the treatment of psoriasis;

•

•

Isotechnika, Inc. has completed a Canadian Phase III trial of ISA247, a trans-isomer of a cyclosporine
analog, in 450 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, achieving all efficacy endpoints; and

other companies are developing monoclonal antibody or other products for treatment of inflammatory
skin disorders.

There are at least two drugs which may compete with MLN2222. TP10 is a complement inhibitor developed

by AVANT for applications including the limitation of complement-mediated damage following surgery on
cardiopulmonary by-pass. AVANT has completed a Phase II study where the drug demonstrated treatment
benefits in males. Alexion and its partner Proctor & Gamble are developing pexelizumab, a monoclonal
antibody. The companies reported in November of 2005 that preliminary results in a Phase III trial of the drug
did not achieve its primary endpoint in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Currently, there are at least two companies developing topical peptide treatments for acne which may
compete with XMP.629. Migenix Inc. and its partner Cutanea Life Sciences, Inc. are developing MBI 594AN, a
topical peptide that has completed two Phase II trials for the treatment of acne, and Helix Biomedix, Inc. is
developing several peptide compounds.

In collaboration with Chiron, we are co-developing the monoclonal antibody target CD40, and, at the
current time, there are several CD40-related programs under development, mostly focused on the development of
CD40 ligand products. For example, SGN-40 is a humanized monoclonal antibody under development by Seattle
Genetics, Inc. which is targeting CD40 antigen. SGN-40 is currently in Phase I studies in multiple myeloma,
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and in a Phase I/II study in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

It is possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same human protein as

our NEUPREX® product, and these products may prove to be more effective than NEUPREX®. It is also
possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same therapeutic target as our
XMA005.2 product and these products may prove to be more effective than XMA005.2.

24

Even if we or our third party collaborators or licensees bring products to market, we may be unable to
effectively price our products or obtain adequate reimbursement for sales of our products, which would
prevent our products from becoming profitable.

If we or our third party collaborators or licensees succeed in bringing our product candidates to the market,
they may not be considered cost-effective, and reimbursement to the patient may not be available or may not be
sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive basis. In both the United States and elsewhere, sales of
medical products and treatments are dependent, in part, on the availability of reimbursement to the patient from
third-party payors, such as government and private insurance plans. Third-party payors are increasingly
challenging the prices charged for pharmaceutical products and services. Our business is affected by the efforts
of government and third-party payors to contain or reduce the cost of health care through various means. In the
United States, there have been and will continue to be a number of federal and state proposals to implement
government controls on pricing. In addition, the emphasis on managed care in the United States has increased
and will continue to increase the pressure on the pricing of pharmaceutical products. We cannot predict whether
any legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted or the effect these proposals or managed care efforts may
have on our business.

If we and our partners are unable to protect our intellectual property, in particular our patent protection
for our principal products and processes, and prevent its use by third parties, our ability to compete in the
market will be harmed, and we may not realize our profit potential.

We rely on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws to
protect our proprietary technology and prevent others from duplicating our products. However, these means may
afford only limited protection and may not:

•

•

•

prevent our competitors from duplicating our products;

prevent our competitors from gaining access to our proprietary information and technology; or

permit us to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

Because of the length of time and the expense associated with bringing new products to the marketplace, we

and our partners hold and are in the process of applying for a number of patents in the United States and abroad
to protect our products and important processes and also have obtained or have the right to obtain exclusive
licenses to certain patents and applications filed by others. However, the mere issuance of a patent is not
conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability. The United States federal courts or equivalent national courts or
patent offices elsewhere may invalidate our patents or find them unenforceable. In addition, the laws of foreign
countries may not protect our intellectual property rights effectively or to the same extent as the laws of the
United States. If our intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, we may not be able to
commercialize our technologies, products, or services, and our competitors could commercialize our
technologies, which could result in a decrease in our sales and market share that would harm our business and
operating results. Specifically, the patent position of biotechnology companies generally is highly uncertain and
involves complex legal and factual questions. The legal standards governing the validity of biotechnology patents
are in transition, and current defenses as to issued biotechnology patents may not be adequate in the future.
Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to:

• whether any pending or future patent applications held by us will result in an issued patent, or that if
patents are issued to us, that such patents will provide meaningful protection against competitors or
competitive technologies,

• whether competitors will be able to design around our patents or develop and obtain patent protection
for technologies, designs or methods that are more effective than those covered by our patents and
patent applications or

•

the extent to which our products could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may
lead to costly litigation, result in the payment of substantial damages or royalties, and/or prevent us from
using technology that is essential to our products.

25

We have established an extensive portfolio of patents and applications, both United States and foreign,
related to our BPI-related products, including novel compositions, their manufacture, formulation, assay and use.
We have also established a portfolio of patents, both United States and foreign, related to our BCE technology,
including claims to novel promoter sequences, secretion signal sequences, compositions and methods for
expression and secretion of recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene products.

If certain patents issued to others are upheld or if certain patent applications filed by others issue and are
upheld, we may require licenses from others in order to develop and commercialize certain potential products
incorporating our technology or we may become involved in litigation to determine the proprietary rights of
others. These licenses, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, and any such litigation may be
costly and may have other adverse effects on our business, such as inhibiting our ability to compete in the
marketplace and absorbing significant management time.

Due to the uncertainties regarding biotechnology patents, we also have relied and will continue to rely upon

trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to develop and maintain our competitive
position. All of our employees have signed confidentiality agreements under which they have agreed not to use
or disclose any of our proprietary information. Research and development contracts and relationships between us
and our scientific consultants and potential customers provide access to aspects of our know-how that are
protected generally under confidentiality agreements. These confidentiality agreements may be breached or may
not be enforced by a court. To the extent proprietary information is divulged to competitors or to the public
generally, such disclosure may adversely affect our ability to develop or commercialize our products by giving
others a competitive advantage or by undermining our patent position.

Litigation regarding intellectual property can be costly and expose us to risks of counterclaims against us.

We may be required to engage in litigation or other proceedings to protect our intellectual property. The cost

to us of this litigation, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Such litigation could also divert
management’s attention and resources. In addition, if this litigation is resolved against us, our patents may be
declared invalid, and we could be held liable for significant damages. In addition, we may be subject to a claim
that we are infringing another party’s patent. If such claim is resolved against us, we or our collaborators may be
enjoined from developing, manufacturing, selling or importing products, processes or services unless we obtain a
license from the other party. Such license may not be available on reasonable terms, thus preventing us from
using these products, processes or services and adversely affecting our revenue.

Manufacturing risks and inefficiencies may adversely affect our ability to manufacture products for
ourselves or others.

We are subject to manufacturing risks which may hinder our ability to provide manufacturing services for

our own benefit or to third parties. Additionally, unanticipated fluctuations in customer requirements may lead to
manufacturing inefficiencies. We must provide our manufacturing services in compliance with regulatory
requirements, in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis, while maintaining acceptable product quality and
manufacturing costs. Additional resources and changes in our manufacturing processes may required for each
new product or customer or to meet increasing customer requirements once a contract has been initiated, and this
work may not be successfully or efficiently completed.

In addition, the development work and products addressed in new contracts may not share production
attributes with our existing projects to the extent we anticipate, and consequently these new contracts may
require the development of new manufacturing technologies and expertise. If we are unable to develop
manufacturing capabilities as needed, on acceptable terms, our ability to complete these contracts or enter into
additional contracts may be adversely affected.

Manufacturing and quality problems may arise in the future as we continue to perform these services for our

own benefit and under additional manufacturing contracts. Consequently, our internal development goals or

26

milestones under our contracts may not be achieved in a timely manner or at a commercially reasonable cost, or
at all. In addition, we continue to make investments to improve our manufacturing processes and to design,
develop and purchase manufacturing equipment that may not yield the improvements that we
expect. Inefficiencies or constraints related to our manufacturing may adversely affect our overall financial
results. Such inefficiencies or constraints may also result in delays or loss of current or potential customers due to
their dissatisfaction.

The financial terms of future collaborative or licensing arrangements could result in dilution of our share
value.

Funding from collaboration partners and others has in the past and may in the future involve issuance by us
of our shares. Because we do not currently have any such arrangements, we cannot be certain how the purchase
price of such shares, the relevant market price or premium, if any, will be determined or when such
determinations will be made. Any such issuance could result in dilution in the value of our issued and
outstanding shares.

Because many of the companies we do business with are also in the biotechnology sector, the volatility of
that sector can affect us indirectly as well as directly.

As a biotechnology company that collaborates with other biotech companies, the same factors that affect us

directly can also adversely impact us indirectly by affecting the ability of our collaborators, partners and others
we do business with to meet their obligations to us and reduce our ability to realize the value of the consideration
provided to us by these other companies.

For example, in connection with our licensing transactions relating to our BCE technology, we have in the
past and may in the future agree to accept equity securities of the licensee in payment of license fees. The future
value of these or any other shares we receive is subject both to market risks affecting our ability to realize the
value of these shares and more generally to the business and other risks to which the issuer of these shares may
be subject.

As we do more business internationally, we will be subject to additional political, economic and regulatory
uncertainties.

We may not be able to successfully operate in any foreign market. We believe that, because the

pharmaceutical industry is global in nature, international activities will be a significant part of our future business
activities and that, when and if we are able to generate income, a substantial portion of that income will be
derived from product sales and other activities outside the United States. Foreign regulatory agencies often
establish standards different from those in the United States, and an inability to obtain foreign regulatory
approvals on a timely basis could put us at a competitive disadvantage or make it uneconomical to proceed with a
product’s development. International operations and sales may be limited or disrupted by:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

imposition of government controls,

export license requirements,

political or economic instability,

trade restrictions,

changes in tariffs,

restrictions on repatriating profits,

exchange rate fluctuations,

• withholding and other taxation and

•

difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.

27

Because we are a relatively small biopharmaceutical company with limited resources, we may not be able
to attract and retain qualified personnel, and the loss of key personnel could delay or prevent achieving
our objectives.

Our success in developing marketable products and achieving a competitive position will depend, in part, on

our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and management personnel, particularly in areas requiring
specific technical, scientific or medical expertise. There is intense competition for such personnel. Our research,
product development and business efforts could be adversely affected by the loss of one or more key members of
our scientific or management staff, particularly our executive officers: John L. Castello, our Chairman of the
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer; Patrick J. Scannon, M.D., Ph.D., our Senior Vice President and
Chief Scientific and Medical Officer; J. David Boyle II, our Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer;
and Christopher J. Margolin, our Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. We currently have no key
person insurance on any of our employees.

We had approximately 218 employees as of December 31, 2005, and we anticipate that we will require

additional experienced executive, accounting, research and development, legal, administrative and other
personnel in the future. There is intense competition for the services of these personnel, especially in California.
Moreover, we expect that the high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where our headquarters and
manufacturing facilities are located, may impair our ability to attract and retain employees in the future. If we do
not succeed in attracting new personnel and retaining and motivating existing personnel, our operations may
suffer and we may be unable to implement our current initiatives or grow effectively.

Calamities, power shortages or power interruptions at our Berkeley headquarters and manufacturing
facility could disrupt our business and adversely affect our operations, and could disrupt the businesses of
our customers.

Our principal operations are located in Northern California, including our corporate headquarters and
manufacturing facility in Berkeley, California. In addition, many of our collaborators and licensees are located in
California. All of these locations are in areas of seismic activity near active earthquake faults. Any earthquake,
terrorist attack, fire, power shortage or other calamity affecting our facilities or our customers’ facilities may
disrupt our business and could have material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are exposed to an increased risk of product liability claims.

The testing, marketing and sales of medical products entails an inherent risk of allegations of product
liability. In the event of one or more large, unforeseen awards of damages against us, our product liability
insurance may not provide adequate coverage. A significant product liability claim for which we were not
covered by insurance would have to be paid from cash or other assets. To the extent we have sufficient insurance
coverage, such a claim would result in higher subsequent insurance rates. In addition, product liability claims can
have various other ramifications including loss of future sales opportunities, increased costs associated with
replacing products, and a negative impact on our goodwill and reputation, which could also adversely affect our
business and operating results.

We may be subject to increased risks because we are a Bermuda company.

Alleged abuses by certain companies that have changed their legal domicile from jurisdictions within the

United States to Bermuda have created an environment where, notwithstanding that we changed our legal
domicile in a transaction that was approved by our shareholders and fully taxable to our company under United
States law, we may be exposed to various prejudicial actions, including:

•

•

•

“blacklisting” of our common shares by certain pension funds;

legislation restricting certain types of transactions; and

punitive tax legislation.

28

We do not know whether any of these things will happen, but if implemented one or more of them may have

an adverse impact on our future operations or our share price.

If you were to obtain a judgment against us, it may be difficult to enforce against us because we are a
foreign entity.

We are a Bermuda company. All or a substantial portion of our assets, including substantially all of our

intellectual property, may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders
and others to enforce in United States courts judgments obtained against us. We have irrevocably agreed that we
may be served with process with respect to actions based on offers and sales of securities made hereby in the
United States by serving Christopher J. Margolin, c/o XOMA Ltd., 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, California
94710, our United States agent appointed for that purpose. Uncertainty exists as to whether Bermuda courts
would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against us or our directors and officers that
are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws or entertain original actions
brought in Bermuda against us or such persons predicated upon the United States securities laws. There is no
treaty in effect between the United States and Bermuda providing for such enforcement, and there are grounds
upon which Bermuda courts may not enforce judgments of United States courts. Certain remedies available
under the United States federal securities laws may not be allowed in Bermuda courts as contrary to that nation’s
policy.

Our shareholder rights agreement or bye-laws may prevent transactions that could be beneficial to our
shareholders and may insulate our management from removal.

In February of 2003, we adopted a new shareholder rights agreement (to replace the shareholder rights
agreement that had expired), which could make it considerably more difficult or costly for a person or group to
acquire control of us in a transaction that our board of directors opposes.

Our bye-laws:

•

•

•

require certain procedures to be followed and time periods to be met for any shareholder to propose
matters to be considered at annual meetings of shareholders, including nominating directors for election
at those meetings;

authorize our board of directors to issue up to 1,000,000 preference shares without shareholder approval
and to set the rights, preferences and other designations, including voting rights, of those shares as the
board of directors may determine; and

contain provisions, similar to those contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law that may make
business combinations with interested shareholders more difficult.

These provisions of our shareholders rights agreement and our bye-laws, alone or in combination with each

other, may discourage transactions involving actual or potential changes of control, including transactions that
otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices to holders of common shares, could
limit the ability of shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests, and could
make it considerably more difficult for a potential acquirer to replace management.

We may issue additional equity securities and thereby materially and adversely affect the price of our
common shares.

We are authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, 1,000,000 preference shares, of which 2,959 were
issued and outstanding as of March 8, 2006, which may give other shareholders dividend, conversion, voting, and
liquidation rights, among other rights, which may be superior to the rights of holders of our common shares. In
addition, we are authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, up to 210,000,000 common shares, of which
89,836,850 were issued and outstanding as of March 3, 2006. If we issue additional equity securities, the price of
our common shares and, in turn, the price of our convertible notes may be materially and adversely affected.

29

If the trading price of our common shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of The
Nasdaq National Market, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market
for our common shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

If we do not continue to comply with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq National Market,
then Nasdaq may provide written notification regarding the delisting of our securities. At that time, we would
have the right to request a hearing to appeal The Nasdaq determination and would also have the option to apply
to transfer our securities to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

We cannot be sure that our price will comply with the requirements for continued listing of our common

shares on The Nasdaq National Market, or that any appeal of a decision to delist our common shares will be
successful. If our common shares lose their status on The Nasdaq National Market and we are not successful in
obtaining a listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, our common shares would likely trade in the
over-the-counter market.

If our common shares are neither listed for trading on a United States national or regional securities
exchange nor approved for trading on The Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or any other
established United States system of automated dissemination or quotations of securities prices, it would be
deemed a “fundamental change” under the indenture governing our convertible notes, giving the holders thereof
the right to require us to repurchase such notes. Our failure to repurchase our convertible notes would constitute
an event of default under the notes indenture, which might constitute an event of default under the terms of our
other debt.

If our shares were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our common shares could be more
difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and
security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our common shares are delisted,
broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from
effecting transactions in our common shares, further limiting the liquidity thereof. These factors could result in
lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for common shares.

Such delisting from The Nasdaq National Market or future declines in our share price could also greatly

impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing, and could significantly
increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions.
Consent under the Exchange Control Act 1972 (and its related regulations) has been obtained from the Bermuda
Monetary Authority for the issue and transfer of our shares, notes and other securities to and between
non-residents of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, but this consent is conditional on our shares remaining
listed on an appointed stock exchange. We cannot assure you that the Bermuda Monetary Authority will give the
same or a similar consent in the event our common shares are no longer listed on The Nasdaq National Market or
another appointed stock exchange. In the absence of such a general consent, specific consents of the Bermuda
Monetary Authority would be required for certain issues and transfers of our shares, notes and other securities.

Properties

Our development and manufacturing facilities are located in Berkeley and Emeryville, California. We lease

approximately 113,000 square feet of space including approximately 35,000 square feet of research and
development laboratories, 48,000 square feet of production and production support facilities and 30,000 square
feet of office space. A separate 17,000 square foot technology development and pilot facility is owned by us.

We produced rBPI21 in 2005, and have previously produced MLN2222, TPO mimetic antibody products,

NEUPREX®, RAPTIVA®, MLN2201 and ING-1 for clinical trial and other testing needs at our Berkeley

30

manufacturing facilities, pursuant to a drug manufacturing license obtained from the State of California. We base
our manufacturing capability on recombinant DNA technology, which can produce therapeutic products from
either mammalian or microbial cells. We have established three fermentation trains with a tank size of 2,750
liters and two fermentation trains with a tank size of 500 liters, and associated isolation and purification systems.
We perform our own formulation and have the capacity to fill products for clinical use, although we also contract
with third parties for final sterile filling and finishing.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

In April of 2005, a complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, in a lawsuit captioned

Hanna v. Genentech, Inc. and XOMA (US) LLC, No. 2005004386, by an alleged participant in one of the clinical
trials of RAPTIVA®. The lawsuit was thereafter removed to the United States District Court, Northern District of
Illinois, No. 05C 3251. The complaint asserts claims for alleged strict product liability and negligence against
Genentech and us based on injuries alleged to have occurred as a result of plaintiff’s treatment in the clinical
trials. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages alleged to be in excess of $100,000. Although we
have not yet fully assessed the merits of this lawsuit, we intend to vigorously investigate and pursue available
defenses. We do not believe that this matter, or the resolution of this matter, will have a material impact upon our
future consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On March 3, 2006, there were approximately 2,837 shareholders of record of our common shares, one of
which is Cede & Co., a nominee for Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). All of the common shares held by
brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions as nominees for beneficial owners are deposited into
participant accounts at DTC and are therefore considered to be held of record by Cede & Co. as one shareholder.

We have not paid dividends on our common shares. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in the

development and expansion of our business. We, therefore, do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our
common shares in the foreseeable future (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Share Capital”).

In the first quarter of 2004, we announced the amendment of certain terms of the November 2001
investment agreement with Millennium. The key elements of the revised investment agreement included an
extension of the maturity date of the $5.0 million outstanding convertible debt to April 15, 2004, (or the third
business day after the date the related registration statement is declared effective, if later) and a re-scheduling of
our decision points regarding whether to sell the remaining $14.7 million worth of common shares to four option
dates through March of 2005, at each of which we may issue up to $3,675,000 worth of common shares. In July
of 2004, we exercised an option to sell 920,284 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $3.7 million or $3.99
per share In November of 2003, we exercised an option to sell 763,719 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds
of $5.4 million or $7.07 per share. In June of 2003, we exercised an option to sell 608,766 shares to Millennium
for gross proceeds of $4.0 million or $6.57 per share. In December of 2002, we issued 1,443,418 shares to
Millennium for gross proceeds of $7.5 million or $5.20 per share. These sales of common shares to Millennium
were exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. In October of 2004, the
investment agreement with Millennium was terminated and there will be no further issuance of common shares
to Millennium under this agreement.

In September of 2003, we sold 9,000,000 common shares at a price of $8.00 per share in an underwritten
public offering. We received approximately $67.2 million of net proceeds during the third quarter of 2003. In
October of 2003, the underwriters for the public offering exercised their option to purchase 1,350,000 common
shares at $8.00 per share to cover over-allotments. We received $10.2 million in additional net cash proceeds.
The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

In December of 2003, we issued 2,959 of Series B preferred shares to Genentech in repayment of the $29.6
million outstanding balance under the convertible subordinated debt agreement. These shares are convertible into
approximately 3.8 million common shares, which represents a price of $7.75 per share.

In February of 2005, we issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due in 2012, the proceeds of

which are being used for general corporate purposes, including current research and development projects, the
development of new products or technologies, equipment acquisitions, general working capital purposes and
operating expenses. The notes were initially convertible into approximately 32 million common shares at a
conversion rate of 533.4756 of our common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to a
conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share. Before February 6, 2008, we could not have
redeemed the notes. On or after February 6, 2008, we could have redeemed any or all of the notes at 100% of the
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if our common shares traded at 150% of the conversion price
then in effect for 20 trading days in a 30 consecutive trading day period. Holders of the notes could have required
us to repurchase some or all of the notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest following a fundamental change. In addition, following certain
fundamental changes, we would have increased the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or,
in lieu thereof, we could have, in certain circumstances, elected to adjust the conversion rate and related
conversion obligation so that the notes would have been convertible into shares of the acquiring, continuing or
surviving company. The convertible senior notes were issued, to the initial purchasers, for net proceeds of $56.6
million. The issuance costs of approximately $3.4 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 84
month life of the notes.

In February of 2006, we exchanged all of these convertible senior notes for $60.0 million of 6.5%

Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 and issued an additional $12.0 million of 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012
to the public for cash. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Subsequent Events.”

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and manufactures antibodies and other

genetically-engineered protein products to treat immunological and inflammatory disorders, cancer and
infectious diseases.

In the near term, our ability to achieve profitability will be highly dependent on sales levels of RAPTIVA®,

which we have been developing under a collaboration agreement with Genentech. Genentech is responsible for
the manufacturing, marketing and sales effort in support of this product and we are entitled to receive royalties
on worldwide sales. RAPTIVA® has been approved in the United States and the European Union for treating
patients suffering from moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and is being tested as a treatment for additional
indications. Our near-term profits will also be influenced by our ability to generate revenues or benefit from cost-
sharing arrangements, from research and development of manufacturing processes or from other development

35

activities. We are developing a number of products, both proprietary and under collaboration agreements with
other companies and may enter into additional arrangements. Our objective in development collaborations is to
leverage our existing development infrastructure to broaden and strengthen our new product pipeline beyond
what we can accomplish with proprietary products, thereby diversifying our development risk and gaining
financial support from our collaboration partners.

We incurred a net loss in two of the past three years and expect to continue to operate at a loss until
sufficient profits are generated from RAPTIVA® and various manufacturing and development arrangements, or
until we achieve additional regulatory approvals and commence commercial sales of additional products. The
timing and likelihood of additional approvals is uncertain and there can be no assurance that approvals will be
granted or that revenues from product sales will be sufficient to attain profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based

upon our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to terms of research collaborations, investments, stock compensation, impairment issues and the estimated
useful life of assets and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following policies to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial condition and

results of operations because they require us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments about matters that
are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed
and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on
management’s judgments regarding the nature of the fee charged for products or services delivered and the
collectibility of those fees.

We recognize revenue from license and collaboration arrangements, contract services, product sales and

royalties. Our revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting, if
certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer and
whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The consideration we
receive is allocated among the separate units based on their respective fair values and the applicable revenue
recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. Advance payments received in excess of amounts
earned are classified as deferred revenue until earned.

License and Collaborative Fees

Revenue from non-refundable license or technology access payments under license and collaborative
agreements where we have a continuing obligation to perform is recognized as revenue over the period of the
continuing performance obligation.

36

Milestone payments under collaborative arrangements are recognized as revenue upon completion of the

milestone events, which represent the culmination of the earnings process because we have no future
performance obligations related to the payment. Milestone payments that require a continuing performance
obligation on our part are recognized over the period of the continuing performance obligation. Amounts
received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until the related milestone is completed. Allowances are
established for estimated uncollectible amounts, if any.

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue for research and development involves our providing research and development for
manufacturing processes to collaborative partners or others. We recognize revenue under these arrangements as
the related research and development costs are incurred and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues for
certain contracts are accounted for on a percentage-of-completion method where completion is measured by
progress towards established contract deliverables and milestones.

Royalty Revenue

Royalty revenue and royalty receivables are generally recorded in the periods these royalties are earned, in

advance of collection. The royalty revenue and receivables in these instances are based upon communication
with collaborative partners, historical information and forecasted sales trends. Under some of our agreements
with licensees that include receipt of royalty revenue, we do not have sufficient historical information to estimate
royalty revenues or receivables in the period that these royalties are earned. For these contracts, we record
royalty revenue upon cash receipt.

Research and Development Expenses

We expense research and development expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of
direct and research-related allocated overhead costs such as facilities costs, salaries and related personnel costs,
patent costs and material and supply costs. In addition, research and development expenses include costs related
to clinical trials to validate our testing processes and procedures and related overhead expenses. Under cost
sharing arrangements with collaborative partners, differences between our actual research and development
spending and our share of such spending under the collaboration agreement will also be included as a cost
sharing adjustment in our research and development expense. Expenses resulting from clinical trials are recorded
when incurred based in part on estimates as to the status of the various trials. From time to time, research and
development expenses may include upfront fees and milestones paid to collaborative partners for the purchase of
rights to in-process research and development. Such amounts are expensed as incurred. The timing of upfront
fees and milestone payments in the future may cause variability in our future research and development
expenses.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, “Accounting for

the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which superseded FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” we record impairment
losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amounts of those assets.

37

Results of Operations

Revenues

Total revenues in 2005 were $18.7 million, compared with $3.7 million in 2004 and $24.4 million in 2003.

License and collaborative fees revenues in 2005 were $5.1 million, compared to $3.6 million in 2004 and

$18.9 million in 2003. These revenues include upfront and milestone payments related to the outlicensing of our
products and technologies and other collaborative arrangements. The increase of $1.5 million in 2005 as
compared with 2004 resulted primarily from an outlicensing agreement with Merck & Co. (“Merck”). The
decrease from 2003 to 2004 reflects a $10.0 million fee received from Baxter in 2003 as a result of the
termination of agreements between the companies related to the licensing and development of our NEUPREX®
product, as well as license fees from several bacterial cell expression technology license arrangements.

Contract and other revenues were $7.4 million in 2005, as compared with $0 in 2004 and $5.4 million and

2003. Contract and other revenue in 2005 includes primarily fees from our service arrangements with NIAID,
Genentech and Chiron. 2003 revenues related primarily to service arrangements with Baxter and Onyx. The
Baxter agreement was terminated during the third quarter of 2003 and the Onyx agreement was effectively
terminated in the fourth quarter of 2003. Baxter and Onyx represented 50% and 20%, respectively, of our total
revenues for 2003.

Certain of our license and contract agreements involve continuing performance obligations for services and,

in these cases, the related payments received are recorded as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue
over the period of continuing performance obligation. In addition, certain of our contract agreements have
retainage provisions whereby a certain percentage of revenue is to be held back until completion of all
performance obligations under the agreement. In 2005, the addition of $1.5 million in deferred revenue
represents both revenues related to future performance obligations and revenue retained until completion of all
performance obligations under the NIAID agreement. In 2004, this included $10.0 million in upfront payments
received from Chiron related to a collaboration agreement in oncology, which was initiated in February of 2004,
and is being recognized as revenue over the five year expected term of the agreement. Deferred revenue
recognized in 2003 related primarily to upfront payments received in prior years from Baxter and Onyx. The
following table illustrates the activity in deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

The $7.9 million balance in deferred revenue at December 31, 2005, is expected to be recognized as revenue

largely over the next three years. Future amounts may also be impacted by additional consideration received, if
any, under existing or any future licensing or other collaborative arrangements.

Revenues from royalties were $6.2 million in 2005, as compared with $0.1 million in 2004 and $0.1 million

in 2003. The increase in royalty revenues in 2005 over 2004 and 2003 is due primarily to our royalty
arrangement with Genentech on sales of the RAPTIVA® product.

Revenues for 2006 are expected to continue to increase as a result of royalties generated by worldwide sales

of RAPTIVA®, the establishment of new manufacturing service arrangements and license fees.

38

Research and Development Expenses

Generally speaking, biopharmaceutical development includes a series of steps, including in vitro and in vivo

preclinical testing, and Phase I, II and III clinical studies in humans. Each of these steps is typically more
expensive than the previous step, but actual timing and the cost to us depends on the product being tested, the
nature of the potential disease indication and the terms of any collaborative arrangements with other companies.
After successful conclusion of all of these steps, regulatory filings for approval to market the products must be
completed, including approval of manufacturing processes and facilities for the product. Our research and
development expenses currently include costs of personnel, supplies, facilities and equipment, consultants, patent
expenses and third party costs related to preclinical and clinical testing.

In 2005, our research and development expenses were $39.9 million, compared with $49.8 million in 2004

and $61.1 million in 2003. The $9.9 million decrease in 2005 compared with 2004 primarily reflects reduced
spending on MLN2222 due to the discontinuation of the Millennium collaboration announced in October 2004,
reduced spending on TPO Mimetic due to the termination of the Alexion collaboration in the second quarter of
2005, reduced spending on RAPTIVA® following the restructuring of our collaboration arrangement with
Genentech in January 2005, as well as reduced spending on XMP.629 and other proprietary new product
developments through the year. These reductions were partially offset by increased spending on our collaboration
agreements with Chiron, Aphton and Lexicon, our research and development work for NIAID, and our internal
development of XMA005.2.

During 2005, we completed an annual review of leasehold improvements. Based on our review, we decided

to abandon our plan to add a fermentation unit to our existing research and development facility. As certain
leasehold improvements related to this project no longer prolonged the life of the related building nor enhanced
its functional use, we expensed approximately $0.6 million to depreciation expense for research and development
in December 2005.

In addition, as a result of water damage in our research and development facilities, we received $0.1 million

in insurance proceeds in 2005. The damaged facilities were subsequently remediated and these proceeds were
recorded as an offset to repairs and maintenance within research and development.

Our research and development activities can be divided into earlier stage programs, which include

molecular biology, process development, pilot-scale production and preclinical testing, and later stage programs,
which include clinical testing, regulatory affairs and manufacturing clinical supplies. Using the current costing
methods, the costs associated with these programs approximate the following (in thousands):

In 2005, one development program (Chiron) accounted for more than 30% but less than 40% and no
development program accounted for more than 40% of our total research and development expenses. In 2004,
two development programs (XMP.629 and MLN2222) each individually accounted for more than 10% but less
than 20% and no development program accounted for more than 20% of our total research and development
expenses. In 2003, one development program (MLN2222) accounted for more than 10% but less than 20%, one
development program (RAPTIVA®) accounted for more than 20% but less than 30% and no development
program accounted for more than 30% of our total research and development expenses.

We currently anticipate that research and development expenses in 2006 will increase as compared with
2005. We expect our spending on our oncology collaboration with Chiron, including CHIR12.12, our anti-gastrin
antibody program with Aphton to continue, as well as increases in spending on our collaboration with Lexicon,
our contract with NIAID, development of XMA005.2 and other new projects. Future research and development
spending may also be impacted by potential new licensing or collaboration arrangements, as well as the
termination of existing agreements. Beyond this, the scope and magnitude of future research and development
expenses are difficult to predict at this time.

General and Administrative Expenses

In 2005, general and administrative expenses were $14.8 million compared with $15.6 million in 2004 and
$13.4 million in 2003. The decrease of $0.8 million in 2005 compared with 2004 resulted from lower accounting
fees related to the first year implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley in 2004, offset by increased accounting fees
related to our two recent debt offerings, one of which was completed in 2005 and the other in 2006. The increase
of $2.2 million in 2004 compared with 2003 resulted from higher business development expenses and costs
associated with implementing procedures and staffing necessary to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase in 2006 due to costs associated
with the debt exchange and debt offering as well as costs related to increased business development activities.

Collaborative Arrangement Expenses

Collaborative arrangement expenses, which related exclusively to RAPTIVA®, were zero in 2005. In 2004,

collaborative arrangement expenses, which related exclusively to RAPTIVA® (see Note 1) were $16.4 million
compared with $7.5 million in 2003. The amounts in 2004 and 2003 reflected our 25% share of
commercialization costs for RAPTIVA® in excess of Genentech’s revenues less cost of goods sold, research and
development cost sharing adjustments and royalties on sales outside the United States. Because of the
restructuring of our arrangement with Genentech, which was effective January 1, 2005, we are no longer
responsible for a share of operating costs or research and development expenses, but rather we are entitled to
receive royalties on RAPTIVA®’s worldwide sales. Genentech is responsible for all development costs and, to
the extent that we provide further clinical trial support or other development services for RAPTIVA®, we will be
compensated by Genentech. The collaborative arrangement expenses are as follow (in thousands):

In addition to the amounts shown in the above table, we incurred research and development expenses on

Investment and Interest Income

In 2005, investment and other income was $1.9 million compared with $0.5 million in 2004 and $0.5
million in 2003. The increase in 2005 compared with 2004 resulted from higher average cash balances due to the
$60 million raised in a debt financing at the beginning of 2005, as well as higher interest rates and realized gains
on sale of equity investments during the year. Investment income was unchanged from 2003 to 2004. Interest
income is expected to decrease in 2006 due to lower cash investment balances.

We review our investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the value of the investment is

less than the amortized cost. As of December 31, 2005, 19 investments with an aggregate fair value of
approximately $15.4 million, had aggregate unrealized losses of $69,000, compared with no investments with
unrealized losses in 2004. The unrealized losses were recorded in other comprehensive income. All such
investments have been or were in an unrealized loss position for less than six months and have holding periods
less than twelve months. We have not previously sold similar investments at a loss, and we currently have the
financial ability to hold short-term investments with an unrealized loss until maturity and not incur any
recognized losses. As a result, we do not believe any unrealized losses represent an other-than-temporary
impairment and thus have not recognized the temporary losses as realized.

Interest Expense

In 2005, interest expense was $4.3 million compared with $1.2 million in 2004 and $1.9 million in 2003.

Interest expense for 2005 consisted primarily of interest incurred on our $60.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 6.5% convertible senior notes issued in February of 2005, a $12.4 million drawdown on our Chiron
loan facility in 2005, as well as $0.5 million in amortized debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs of
approximately $3.4 million, related to the issuance of the $60 million of convertible senior notes, are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the 84 month life of the notes, which is the same as the “effective interest
rate method” under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 21, “Interest on Receivables and Payables” (“APB
21”). Interest expense for 2004 and 2003 consisted primarily of interest on the convertible notes due to
Genentech and Millennium. The decrease in 2004 compared with 2003 resulted from lower interest rates and
partial repayment of the notes. Interest expense is expected to increase in 2006 due to higher debt balances
related to the recently completed exchange offer and debt offering, higher outstanding balance on the Chiron loan
facility and amortization of debt issuance costs in 2006. See “Subsequent Events” below for details of the
February financing.

Other Income (Expense)

In 2005, other income (expense) was $41.2 million compared with $(0.1) million in 2004 and $0.3 million

in 2003. The 2005 income amount primarily reflects a one-time gain of $40.9 million as a result of the
restructuring of the Genentech agreement in January 2005, as well as proceeds of $250,000 from the sale of our
issued patents and patent applications related to gelonin and gelonin fusion technology to Research Development
Foundation (“RDF”) in June of 2005 offset by losses on the write-off of property and equipment. The 2004
expense reflected a loss on the write-off of property and equipment. The 2003 income amount resulted from
gains on sales of investments. Other income is expected to decrease in 2006, as the release of our obligation to
repay the $40.9 million development loan to Genentech in 2005 is a one-time event.

Income Taxes

We have recorded cumulative net deferred tax assets of $157.4 million and $173.2 million at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively, principally attributable to the timing of the deduction of certain expenses associated
with certain research and development expenses, net operating loss and other carryforwards. We also recorded
corresponding valuation allowances of $157.4 million and $173.2 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004,

41

respectively, to offset these deferred tax assets, as management cannot predict with reasonable certainty that the
deferred tax assets to which the valuation allowance relates will be realized.

As of December 31, 2005, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $191.4 million

to offset future taxable income. We also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $12.8 million. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2005. The availability of
our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial limitation if it is determined that
our ownership has changed by more than 50% over a three year period.

In 2005, income tax expense was $3,000 compared with zero in 2004, the expense in 2005 is related to

activities of our foreign operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2005, was $43.5 million compared with

$24.3 million at December 31, 2004. This $19.2 million increase primarily reflects net proceeds from our
convertible debt financing of $56.4 million and the drawdown on our Chiron loan facility of $12.4 million, offset
by cash used in operations of $44.2 million, cash used in capital investing activities of $4.8 million, cash used in
other financing activities of $0.4 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $44.2 million in 2005 compared with $44.8 million in 2004 and

$47.8 million in 2003. The decrease in net cash used in 2005 compared with 2004, resulted from the decrease in
net loss prior to the inclusion of non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $40.9 million due to the
restructuring the Genentech agreement which helped generate net income for the year of $2.8 million. Cash used
in operating activities was also reduced by an increase in cash flows from accounts payable of $6.9 million, an
increase in cash flows of $1.1 million on accrued interest on convertible notes and other interest bearing
obligations, which were partially offset by a decrease in cash flows from accrued liabilities of $26.6 million
related to amounts owed on our collaborations, a decrease in cash flows from deferred revenue of $8.7 million
primarily from the $10 million received from Chiron in 2004 related to the initiation of our exclusive
collaboration agreement in oncology in February of 2004, and a $14.1 million decrease in cash flows from
outstanding receivables primarily relating to the receipt of $10.0 million in receivables from Baxter related to the
termination of our agreements in 2004 and an increase of $4.3 million in receivables in 2005 primarily due to our
Genentech and NIAID arrangements. The decrease in 2004 compared with 2003 reflected a higher net loss that
was offset by $10.0 million received in January of 2004 from Baxter, $8.3 million in deferred revenue remaining
from the $10.0 million received from Chiron in 2004 and a $14.1 million increase in cash flows from accrued
liabilities primarily related to amounts owed on our collaborations with Genentech and Chiron which were
partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in cash flows from accounts payable and a $7.4 million decrease in
cash flows from additions to notes to a collaborative partner for cost allocations.

Net cash used in investing activities for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $27.4 million, $2.6 million and $0.9

million, respectively. This included net purchases of short-term investments of $22.5 million, $0 and $1.8 for
2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively, and capital expenditures of $4.8 million, $2.6 million and $2.7 million for
2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Capital spending in 2006 is expected to increase due to investments in
research and development and manufacturing facilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $68.6, $(13.5) million and $97.3
million, respectively. Financing activities in 2005 consisted of an issuance of convertible senior notes for net
proceeds of $56.4 million, drawdowns on our Chiron loan facility of $12.4 million and $0.2 million in proceeds
from the issuance of common shares, partially offset by capital lease payments of $0.2 million and payments of
short-term notes of $0.1 million. Financing activities in 2004 consisted of a $13.2 million payment to retire our
short-term loan obligation to Genentech, a $5.0 million payment of our convertible debt to Millennium, $0.6
million for principal payments on capital lease obligations and $0.4 million for principal payments on a short-

42

term loan partially offset by $1.4 million in proceeds from the sale of common shares through share option
exercises and the employee share purchase plan, $0.5 million proceeds from a short-term note and $3.7 million in
proceeds from common shares sold under our investment agreement with Millennium. Financing activities for
2003 consisted of a $10.8 million net funding from Genentech under our development agreement, $77.1 million
in net proceeds from common shares sold under a public offering, $9.4 million in proceeds from common shares
sold under our investment agreement with Millennium, $0.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of common
stock warrants and $0.7 million in proceeds from the sale of common shares through share option exercises and
the employee share purchase plan. This was partially offset by principal payments of $0.8 million to retire a
short-term loan obligation and $0.6 million for principal payments on capital lease obligations.

We expect our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to decrease in 2006 with the use of cash to

fund ongoing operations and capital investments, partially offset by proceeds from our Chiron loan facility and
an additional $12.0 million issuance of our 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM as part of the exchange of existing
convertible senior notes for $60.0 million 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012. See “Subsequent Events” below
for details of the February financing.

(c) See “Subsequent Events” below for a description of the February 2006 exchange offer and debt offering.

In addition to the above, we have committed to make potential future “milestone” payments to third parties

as part of licensing and development programs. Payments under these agreements generally become due and
payable only upon the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Because
it is uncertain if and when these milestones will be achieved, such contingencies have not been recorded on our
consolidated balance sheet.

Other than the convertible senior notes, the Chiron note, and the operating lease obligations stated in the
table above, we had no other long-term obligations as of December 31, 2005, nor any purchase obligations, as
defined in Item 303(a)(5) of Regulation S-K since all of our outstanding purchase obligations are cancelable.

The present outlook is for net losses in 2006 as compared to net income reported in 2005 primarily because
in 2005 a non-recurring gain of $40.9 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2005 due to the restructuring of
the Genentech agreement, as well as expected increases in research and development expenses in 2006 to support
the on-going development of our products. Our strategy is to attempt to continue broadening our product pipeline
through both internal development and additional collaborations such as our arrangements with Chiron, Lexicon,

43

and Aphton, and to increase revenues or benefits from cost sharing arrangements which take advantage of our
manufacturing and development capabilities.

Based on current spending levels, anticipated revenues, partner funding, and proceeds from our convertible
senior notes issued in February of 2005 and February 2006, we estimate that we have sufficient cash resources to
meet our anticipated net cash needs through at least 2008. Any significant revenue shortfalls or increases in
planned spending on development programs could shorten this period. Additional licensing arrangements or
collaborations or otherwise entering into new equity or other financing arrangements could extend this period.
Progress or setbacks by potentially competing products may also affect our ability to raise new funding on
acceptable terms. For a further discussion of the risks related to our business and their effects on our cash flow
and ability to raise new funding on acceptable terms, see “Forward Looking Information And Cautionary Factors
That May Affect Future Results” included in this Item 7 below.

Although operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a

material impact on financial results for the periods presented. We believe that we are not dependent on materials
or other resources that would be significantly impacted by inflation or changing economic conditions in the
foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS

123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”) and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-
based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair values beginning with the first annual period after June 15, 2005, with early
adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an
alternative to financial statement recognition. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R in the year beginning
January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing
share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at
date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the
retroactive option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all
periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock
options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive
method would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with
the first period restated.

We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations and loss per share in 2006. We have elected to use the
Black-Scholes Model for valuing our share-based payments. We also elected to follow the prospective adoption
method when adopting SFAS 123R. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are
similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

On April 15, 2005, with the approval of our Board of Directors, we accelerated the vesting of all outstanding

employee share options with an exercise price greater than $3.00 per share. Because the exercise price of all the
accelerated options exceeded the market price per share of the common shares as of the new measurement date,
the acceleration had no impact on our earnings in 2005. The modification to our outstanding employee share
options will allow expense recognized in future financial statements to better reflect our compensation strategies
under SFAS 123R, which we will adopt as of January 1, 2006.

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of

APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”) which requires retrospective application to prior
periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting

44

principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which
retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of
retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position
or results of operations.

In November 2005, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning

of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” which addresses the
determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than temporary
and the measurement of an impairment loss. This statement nullifies the requirements of paragraph 10-18 of
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-1 and references existing other-than-temporary impairment
guidance. The guidance under this FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and
we continued to apply relevant “other-than-temporary” guidance as provided for in EITF 03-1 during fiscal 2005.
We do not believe that the adoption of the guidance for FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 will have a significant
effect on our future consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

In February of 2006, we completed an exchange offer with holders of our 6.5% convertible senior notes due
2012 in which we exchanged $60 million aggregate principal amount of our new 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM due
2012 (the “New Notes”) for all $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our then outstanding convertible
senior notes due 2012. We also issued an additional $12.0 million of New Notes to the public for cash at a public
offering price of 104% of principal, or $12.5 million. The New Notes are initially convertible into approximately
38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of our common shares per $1,000 principal amount
of New Note, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share. Before
February 10, 2010, we may not redeem the New Notes. On or after February 10, 2010, we may redeem any or all
of the New Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may
automatically convert some or all of the New Notes on or prior to the maturity date if the closing price of our
common shares has exceeded 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any
consecutive 30 trading day period ending within five trading days prior to the notice of auto-conversion. If we
elect to automatically convert, or if holders elect to voluntarily convert, some or all of the New Notes on or prior
to February 10, 2010, we must pay or provide for additional interest equal to four years’ worth of interest less
any interest paid or provided for, on the principal amount so converted, prior to the date of conversion.
Additional interest, if any, shall be paid in cash or, solely at our option and subject to certain limitations, in our
common shares valued at the conversion price then in effect.

In accounting for the New Notes, we will apply guidance as set forth in EITF 96-19, Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended
(“SFAS 133”), EITF 05-7, EITF 00-19, and EITF 01-6 as follows. The exchange offer is a modification of
existing debt, rather than extinguishment. The additional interest payment upon conversion is an embedded
derivative requiring separate accounting. We considered the provisions of EITF 05-2 and concluded that this is
not conventional convertible debt.

In accordance with SFAS 133, we are required to separately account for the additional interest payment

feature of the New Notes as an embedded derivative instrument, which must be measured at fair value and
reflected on the balance sheet in “other liabilities.” Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative will be
recognized in earnings as a component of other income (expense). We have estimated the fair value of the
additional interest payment feature to be $5.8 million, including approximately $1.0 million related to the New
Notes issued for cash, based on current information including share price. For the New Notes issued in the
exchange offer, this amount will be subtracted from the carrying value of the debt, reflected as a debt discount,
which will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method through the date the notes are

45

scheduled to mature and separately reported as a derivative liability. For the New Notes issued in the new money
offering, this amount will be deducted from the proceeds.

In accounting for the New Notes, we will also apply the guidance set forth in EITF 05-7, which specifies the

appropriate basis to account for the auto-conversion feature within the exchange offer as it is a change to the
initial conversion option. Under this guidance, the change in fair value of the auto-conversion feature before and
after the modification will be reflected as a debt discount/premium and additional paid-in capital over the life of
the New Notes. The debt discount/premium will be amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. For purposes
of the “as adjusted” numbers in this document, we have estimated the fair value change of the auto-conversion
feature to be $0.0 million based on current information including share price, which is reflected as a debt
premium.

We also applied the guidance set forth in EITF 00-27, which specifies the appropriate basis to account for

contingent beneficial conversion premiums (“BCF”), and noted that no BCF existed for either the New Notes
issued in the exchange offer or the New Notes issued for cash.

Forward-Looking Information And Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

Certain statements contained herein related to the sufficiency of our cash resources, future sales of
RAPTIVA®, as well as other statements related to current plans for product development and existing and
potential collaborative and licensing relationships, or that otherwise relate to future periods, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate. Actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the biotechnology industry and for
companies engaged in the development of new products in a regulated market. Among other things, the period
for which our cash resources are sufficient could be shortened if expenditures are made earlier or in larger
amounts than anticipated or are unanticipated, if anticipated revenues or cost sharing arrangements do not
materialize, or if funds are not otherwise available on acceptable terms; and the sales efforts for RAPTIVA® may
not be successful if Genentech or its partner, Serono, fails to meet its commercialization goals, due to the
strength of the competition, if physicians do not adopt the product as treatment for their patients or if remaining
regulatory approvals are not obtained. These and other risks, including those related to the results of pre-clinical
testing; the timing or results of pending and future clinical trials (including the design and progress of clinical
trials; safety and efficacy of the products being tested; action, inaction or delay by the FDA, European or other
regulators or their advisory bodies; and analysis or interpretation by, or submission to, these entities or others of
scientific data); changes in the status of existing collaborative relationships; the ability of collaborators and other
partners to meet their obligations; our ability to meet the demand of the United States government agency with
which we have entered our first government contract; competition; market demands for products; scale-up and
marketing capabilities; availability of additional licensing or collaboration opportunities; international
operations; share price volatility; our financing needs and opportunities; uncertainties regarding the status of
biotechnology patents; uncertainties as to the costs of protecting intellectual property; and risks associated with
our status as a Bermuda company, are described in more detail in “Item IA.—Risk Factors.”

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio

and our loan facility. By policy, we make our investments in high quality debt securities, limit the amount of
credit exposure to any one issuer, limit duration by restricting the term of the instrument and hold investments to
maturity except under rare circumstances. We do not invest in derivative financial instruments.

In February of 2005, we issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012. In February 2006,

we completed an exchange offer for all $60.0 million of our 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 for $60.0

46

million of 6.5% convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 and issued an additional $12.0 million of 6.5% Convertible
SNAPsSM to the public for cash. The interest rate and amount of principal of the previously outstanding notes
were, and of the new convertible SNAPsSM are, fixed.

In 2005, we drew down $12.4 million against the Chiron $50.0 million loan facility that is due in 2015 at an

interest rate based on six month LIBOR plus 2 percent, $6.67% at December 31, 2005. We estimate that a
hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates could increase or decrease our interest expense by
approximately $90,000 on an annualized basis.

We hold interest-bearing instruments that are classified as cash, cash equivalents and short-term

investments. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect the principal values and yields of fixed income investments.
If interest rates in the general economy were to rise rapidly in a short period of time, our fixed income
investments could lose value. The following table presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of our
cash and investments at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman of the Board,

President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, we
conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice
President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required
to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

We continue to enhance internal financial controls and staffing consistent with the requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Apart from this, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting during 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial accounting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management, including our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice
President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable
assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation
of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,

2005. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our
assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2005, our internal control over financial reporting is effective
based on those criteria.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of

December 31, 2005, has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm
who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on
management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting follows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of XOMA Ltd.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that XOMA Ltd. maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). XOMA
Ltd.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s
assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that XOMA Ltd. maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria.
Also, in our opinion, XOMA Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

(United States), the consolidated balance sheets of XOMA Ltd. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (net capital deficiency) and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, of XOMA Ltd. and our report dated March 8,
2006, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of XOMA Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of XOMA Ltd. as of December 31, 2005

and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (net capital deficiency) and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the

consolidated financial position of XOMA Ltd. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

(United States), the effectiveness of XOMA Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 8, 2006, expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

XOMA Ltd. (“XOMA” or the “Company”), a Bermuda company, is a biopharmaceutical company that

discovers and develops for commercialization antibodies and other genetically-engineered protein products to
treat immunological and inflammatory disorders, cancer and infectious diseases. The Company’s products are
presently in various stages of development and most are subject to regulatory approval before they can be
introduced commercially. The Company has one approved product, RAPTIVA®, which is marketed in the United
States and Europe, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis under a collaboration agreement with
Genentech. XOMA’s pipeline includes both proprietary products and collaborative programs at various stages of
preclinical and clinical development.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates.

Concentration of Risk

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable are financial instruments, which

potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains money market funds
and short-term investments that bear minimal risk. The Company has not experienced any significant credit
losses and does not generally require collateral on receivables. In 2005, four customers represented 39%, 28%,
14%, and 11% of total revenues and as of December 31, 2005, and there were billed and unbilled receivables of
$4.6 million outstanding from three of these customers representing 52%, 22%, and 15% of the balance. In 2004,
three customers represented 45%, 14% and 14% of total revenues and as of December 31, 2004, and there were
billed and unbilled receivables of $250,000 outstanding from one of these customers.

Reclassifications

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform
to the fiscal 2005 presentation. Such reclassifications have not impacted previously reported revenues, operating
loss or net loss.

Collaboration arrangement

Beginning in 2004, the Company reported its RAPTIVA® collaboration profit or loss as a single line item to

reflect the terms of the agreement with Genentech, which includes XOMA’s share of Genentech’s operating
profit or loss before research and development expenses from RAPTIVA® sales in the United States, royalty
income on sales of RAPTIVA® outside of the United States and any research and development cost sharing

adjustments between the companies. Collaboration activity each quarter through 2004 has resulted in a loss, and
has been included in operating expenses. Research and development costs incurred directly by the Company
related to RAPTIVA® continued to be included in research and development expense.

In connection with the revised presentation of RAPTIVA® collaboration profit or loss, the Company

reclassified the following amounts (in thousands):

* Shown as “Marketing, general and administrative” in prior years.

Beginning January 1, 2005, the collaboration arrangement was re-structured to eliminate the cost and profit

sharing arrangement in the United States. XOMA is entitled to receive a royalty on worldwide sales of
RAPTIVA® and Genentech will be responsible for all operating and development costs. As a result, the
collaboration arrangement line item is not used in the 2005 financial results. XOMA recorded revenue for
worldwide royalties as earned and for any clinical trial or other development services which it provides to and is
compensated by Genentech.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company believes the following policies to be the most critical to an understanding of its financial
condition and results of operations because they require it to make estimates, assumptions and judgments about
matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed
and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on
management’s judgments regarding the nature of the fee charged for products or services delivered and the
collectibility of those fees.

The Company recognizes revenue from its license and collaboration arrangements, contract services,

product sales and royalties. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of
accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the
customer and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The
consideration received is allocated among the separate units based on their respective fair values and the
applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. Advance payments received in
excess of amounts earned are classified as deferred revenue until earned.

License and Collaborative Fees

Revenue from non-refundable license or technology access payments under license and collaborative
agreements where the Company has a continuing obligation to perform is recognized as revenue over the period
of the continuing performance obligation.

F-8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

Milestone payments under collaborative arrangements are recognized as revenue upon completion of the
milestone events, which represent the culmination of the earnings process because the Company has no future
performance obligations related to the payment. Milestone payments that require a continuing performance
obligation on the part of the Company are recognized over the period of the continuing performance obligation.
Amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until the related milestone is completed.

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue for research and development involves the Company providing research and development

for manufacturing processes to collaborative partners or others. The Company recognizes revenue under these
arrangements as the related research and development costs are incurred and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues for certain contracts are accounted for on a percentage-of-completion method where completion is
measured by progress towards established contract deliverables and milestones.

Royalty Revenue

Royalty revenue and royalty receivables are generally recorded in the periods these royalties are earned, in
advance of collection. The royalty revenue and receivables in these instances is based upon communication with
collaborative partners, historical information and forecasted sales trends. Under some of XOMA’s agreements
with licensees that include receipt of royalty revenue, the Company does not have sufficient historical
information to estimate royalty revenues or receivables in the period that these royalties are earned. For these
contracts, the Company records royalty revenue upon cash receipt.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses

consist of direct and research-related allocated overhead costs such as facilities costs, salaries and related
personnel costs, patent costs and material and supply costs. In addition, research and development expenses
include costs related to clinical trials to validate the Company’s testing processes and procedures and related
overhead expenses. Under cost sharing arrangements with collaborative partners, differences between the
Company’s actual research and development spending and its share of such spending under the collaboration
agreement will also be included as a cost sharing adjustment in its research and development expense. Expenses
resulting from clinical trials are recorded when incurred based in part on estimates as to the status of the various
trials From time to time, research and development expenses may include upfront fees and milestones paid to
collaborative partners for the purchase of rights to in-process research and development.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, “Accounting for

the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which superseded FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” the Company records
impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets
might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the
carrying amounts of those assets.

Share-Based Compensation

In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS 123, as amended by Financial Accounting Standards No. 148
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS No. 123,” the

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

Company has elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and to adopt the “disclosure only” alternative
described in SFAS 123. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the Company’s employee share options equals or
exceeds the fair market value on the date of the grant or the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of the
grant as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, no compensation expense is recognized. Accordingly,
the financial statements reflect amortization of compensation resulting from options granted at exercise prices
which were below market price at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the Company’s share-based
compensation plans been based on the fair value method at the grant dates for awards under these plans
consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have been
increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in
thousands, except per share amounts):

In December of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123R, which replaces SFAS

123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the
first annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously
permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition.

In addition, under SFAS 123R compensation cost for awards subject to acceleration of vesting or continued

vesting upon retirement should be recognized over the period through the date that the employee is no longer
required to provide service to earn the award, which in many cases is the first date that the employee is eligible to
retire. However, XOMA’s practice has been to recognize compensation cost over the explicit service period, up
to the date of actual retirement, a practice that has been allowed for awards granted prior to the adoption of FAS
123R. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, XOMA will recognize compensation cost over the period through the
date that the employee is eligible to retire. Had XOMA recognized compensation expense for awards subject to
acceleration of vesting or continued vesting upon retirement as required by SFAS 123R, XOMA would have
recognized an additional compensation expense of $0.1 million in 2005.

Note 1.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income tax assets and

liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for
the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares

outstanding during the period.

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were not considered in the computation of diluted
net loss per share because they would be antidilutive for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003 (in thousands):

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time

the Company acquires them to be cash equivalents.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments include debt securities classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities

are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, if any, reported in other comprehensive
income (loss). Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on
available-for-sale securities are included in investment and other income. The cost of investments sold is based
on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are also
included in investment and other income.

As of December 31, 2005, 19 investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $15.4 million, had

aggregate unrealized losses of $69,000, compared with no investments with unrealized losses in 2004. The
unrealized losses were recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company reviews its instruments for other-
than-temporary impairment whenever the value of the instrument is less than the amortized cost. All such
investments have been or were in an unrealized loss position for less than six months and have holding periods
less than twelve months. The Company has not sold similar investments at a loss and currently has the financial
ability to hold short-term investments with an unrealized loss until maturity and not incur any recognized losses.
As a result, the Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent an other-than-temporary impairment.

The estimate of fair value is based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined
by the Company. The maturities of short-term investments (in thousands) at December 31, 2005, were as follows:

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including equipment under capital leases, are stated at cost. Equipment

depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to
seven years). Leasehold improvements, buildings and building improvements are amortized and depreciated
using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives (one to fifteen years).

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, property and equipment includes equipment acquired under capital lease
obligations which had a cost of approximately $0 and $1.1 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization
of $0 and $0.7 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.1 million, $4.6 million and $4.0 million for the years ended

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

During 2005, the Company completed an annual review of leasehold improvements. Based on this review,

the Company decided to abandon its plan to add a fermentation unit to its existing research and development
facility. As certain leasehold improvements related to this project no longer prolonged the life of the related
building nor enhanced its functional use, the Company expensed approximately $0.6 million to depreciation
expense for research and development in December 2005.

In addition, as a result of water damage in our research and development facilities, the Company received

$0.1 million in insurance proceeds in 2005. The damaged facilities were subsequently remediated and these
proceeds were recorded as an offset to repairs and maintenance within research and development.

Deferred Revenue

Certain of the Company’s license and contract agreements involve continuing performance obligations for
services and, in these cases, the related payments received are recorded as deferred revenue and then recognized
as revenue over the period of continuing performance obligation. In addition, certain of our contract agreements
have retainage provisions whereby a certain percentage of revenue is to be held back until completion of all
performance obligations under the agreement. In 2005, the addition of $1.5 million in deferred revenue
represents both revenues related to future performance obligations and revenue retained until completion of all
performance obligations under the NIAID agreement. In 2004, deferred revenue included $10.0 million in
upfront payments received from Chiron related to a collaboration agreement in oncology, which was initiated in
February of 2004, and is being recognized as revenue over the five year expected term of the agreement. The
following table illustrates the activity in deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (in

The $7.9 million balance in deferred revenue at December 31, 2005, is expected to be recognized as revenue

largely over the next three years. Future amounts may also be impacted by additional consideration received, if
any, under existing or any future licensing or other collaborative arrangements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of marketable debt and equity securities is based on quoted market prices. The carrying value

of these securities approximates their fair value.

F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

The fair value of notes is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current interest rates at

which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities. The carrying values of these obligations approximate their respective fair values.

The fair value of capital lease obligations is estimated based on current interest rates available to the
Company for debt instruments with similar terms, degrees of risk and remaining maturities. The carrying values
of these obligations approximate their respective fair values.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash paid for interest was $2.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, there were no dividends paid on common shares during the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Non-cash transactions from financing activities included the conversion of convertible subordinated notes
held by Genentech to equity of zero, zero and $29.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively.

Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $3,000, zero and zero during the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income taxes paid in 2005 are related to activities of the Company’s foreign
operations.

Segment Information

The Company currently operates in a single business segment as there is only one measurement of profit

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on
their fair values beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption
encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to
financial statement recognition. XOMA is required to adopt SFAS 123R beginning January 1, 2006. Under SFAS
123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based
payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of
adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive
option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods
presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options

F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive method
would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first
period restated.

The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R
will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and loss per share in 2006. The Company has
elected to use the Black-Scholes Model for valuing its share-based payments. The Company has also elected to
follow the prospective adoption method when adopting SFAS 123R. The Company believes that the adoption of
SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

On April 15, 2005, with the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company accelerated the vesting of all

outstanding employee share options with an exercise price greater than $3.00 per share. Because the exercise
price of all the accelerated options exceeded the market price per share of the common shares as of the new
measurement date, the acceleration had no impact on XOMA’s earnings in 2005. The modification to its
outstanding employee share options will allow expense recognized in future financial statements to better reflect
the Company’s compensation strategies under SFAS 123R, which XOMA will adopt as of January 1, 2006.

In May of 2005, FASB issued SFAS 154 which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial
statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the
balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is
practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that
period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes
and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect
the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 which addresses the determination as to

when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than temporary and the
measurement of an impairment loss. This statement nullifies the requirements of paragraph 10-18 of EITF 03-1
and references existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance. The guidance under this FSP is effective for
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company continued to apply relevant “other-than-
temporary” guidance as provided for in EITF 03-1 during fiscal 2005 and does not believe that the adoption of
the guidance for FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 will have a significant effect on its future consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, cash and cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and overnight

deposits and are reported at fair value. These investments are short term and are classified as available for sale.
The carrying value of short-term investments was $22.7 million at December 31, 2005, and $0.5 million at
December 31, 2004. Short-term investments at December 31, 2005 consist of debt securities classified as
available-for-sale. Short-term investments at December 31, 2004, consisted of only equity securities. During the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, there were ($0.3), zero and $0.3 million in realized gains
(losses) on short-term investments. Gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

Short-term Loan

In June of 2004, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with an annual interest rate of

4.75%. The balance at December 31, 2004 was $0.1 million and was paid off in February of 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

4. License Agreements

XOMA has granted approximately 40 licenses to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for use of
patented and proprietary technologies relating to bacterial expression of recombinant pharmaceutical products.
Seven of these are cross-license arrangements related to the use of XOMA’s bacterial cell expression system
technology in phage display. Under the agreements, MorphoSys AG, Biosite Incorporated, Dyax Corp.,
Cambridge Antibody Technology Limited, BioInvent International AB, Diversa Corporation and Affitech AS
received licenses to use XOMA’s antibody expression technology for developing products using phage display-
based antibody libraries. XOMA, in exchange, receives license and other fees as well as access to these
companies’ antibody display libraries, intellectual property and/or services that complement XOMA’s existing
development capabilities and helps support the Company’s own antibody product development pipeline.

These agreements also generally provide releases of the licensee companies and their collaborators from
claims under the XOMA patents arising from past activities using the companies’ respective technologies to the
extent they also used XOMA’s antibody expression technology. Licensees are generally also allowed to use
XOMA’s technology in combination with their own technology in future collaborations.

5. Collaborative and Licensing Agreements

Total research and development expenses incurred related to the Company’s collaborative agreements were

approximately $16.6 million, $20.0 million and $36.7 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Genentech

In April of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Genentech whereby it agreed to co-develop

Genentech’s humanized monoclonal antibody product RAPTIVA®. In connection with the agreement, Genentech
purchased 1.5 million common shares for approximately $9.0 million and agreed to fund the Company’s
development costs for RAPTIVA® until first FDA approval. This funding was through a series of convertible
subordinated notes due at the earlier of April of 2005 or upon regulatory approval of RAPTIVA®. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company was entitled to receive 25% of U.S. operating profits or losses from
RAPTIVA® in all indications and a royalty on sales outside the U.S. The Company granted Genentech a security
interest in its profit share on RAPTIVA® as collateral against any unpaid past due amounts of these loans.

Under the convertible loan agreement, upon FDA approval of the product, which occurred October 27,

2003, the Company elected to defer repayment of approximately $40.0 million as an offset against future
proceeds from its 25% share of U.S. operating profits and, on December 22, 2003, the Company issued 2,959
preference shares to Genentech, convertible into 3.8 million common shares, to repay the remaining outstanding
balance of the development loan of $29.6 million. The Company received zero and zero million net funding from
Genentech under this agreement for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively

An additional debt facility was established to finance the Company’s share of U.S. commercialization costs
prior to FDA approval. Under the terms of the agreement, the outstanding balance under the commercial loan of
$3.0 million related to 2002 commercialization costs was repaid in cash in January of 2004 and the remaining
balance of $10.2 million, which relates to 2003 commercialization costs, was repaid in cash in May of 2004.

The agreement was amended in January of 2005, wherein the cost and profit sharing arrangement was
terminated. XOMA is now entitled to earn a mid-single digit royalty on worldwide sales of RAPTIVA® with an
additional royalty rate on annual sales in the U.S. in excess of a specified level. Additionally, Genentech agreed
to extinguish the Company’s obligation to pay the remaining outstanding balance under the development loan

F-17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

and related accrued interest, and in January 2005, the Company recorded a one-time gain to other income of
$40.9 million related to the extinguishment of the loan obligation.

RAPTIVA® is license by Genentech outside the United States and Japan through an agreement made with

Serono in August of 2002.

The Company is entitled to receive royalties of RAPTIVA® in all indications. In March of 2004, Genentech

disclosed its intention to begin clinical testing of the drug in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis.
Genentech’s management recently informed the Company that it has decided not to pursue this indication.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the financing arrangement between

XOMA and Genentech.

Chiron

In February of 2004, XOMA entered into an exclusive multi-product collaboration with Chiron for the
development and commercialization of antibody products for the treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the
agreement, the companies agreed to share costs and profits on a 70-30 basis, with XOMA’s share being 30%.
XOMA is entitled to initial payments totaling $10.0 million, which were received in March and June of 2004.
This initial $10.0 million is being recognized ratably over sixty months, the expected term of the agreement, as
license and collaborative fees.

A loan facility of up to $50.0 million is available to the Company to fund up to 75% of it’s share of
development expenses to be incurred beginning in 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has drawn
$12.4 million on this loan facility. Chiron’s profit share is subject to a limited upward adjustment, which, in turn,
may be reduced if the Company achieves certain milestones or if Chiron elects to extend the program from three
to five years.

In October of 2005, Chiron announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novartis under

which Novartis will acquire all of the shares of Chiron that it does not currently own. The merger is expected to
be completed in the first half of 2006.

Aphton

In September of 2004, XOMA announced a worldwide collaboration with Aphton Corporation to develop

treatments for gastrointestinal and other gastrin-sensitive cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies.
Under the terms of the agreement, the companies agreed to share all development expenses and all
commercialization profits and losses for all product candidates on a 70/30 basis, with the Company’s share being
30%. XOMA is entitled to have worldwide manufacturing rights for these products and the ability to share up to
30% in the commercialization efforts in the United States. Aphton shares U.S. commercialization rights and is
entitled to have exclusive rights to commercialize all products outside the United States.

Lexicon

In June of 2005, XOMA entered into a collaboration agreement with Lexicon to jointly develop and
commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets discovered by Lexicon. The collaboration is designed to
combine Lexicon’s target discovery and biotherapeutics capabilities with XOMA’s antibody generation, process

F-18

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

development and manufacturing expertise to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel
therapeutic antibodies.

During the three-year initial term, Lexicon will select for submission to the collaboration targets from
among those discovered and analyzed in its Genome5000™ program. In this program, Lexicon is using its gene
knockout technology to discover the physiological functions of 5,000 potential drug targets. XOMA will generate
or engineer antibodies that modulate the collaboration’s targets using phage display libraries and its proprietary
Human Engineering™ technology. Lexicon and XOMA will share the responsibility and costs for research,
preclinical, clinical and commercialization activities. Costs and profits will be allocated 65% to Lexicon and 35%
to XOMA. XOMA will have principal responsibility for manufacturing antibodies for use in clinical trials and
commercial sales.

Millennium

In November of 2001, XOMA announced its agreement with Millennium to develop two of Millennium’s

biotherapeutic agents, MLN2222 (also known as CAB2) and MLN2201, for certain vascular inflammation
indications. Under the original agreement, for each product, the Company was responsible for development
activities and related costs through the completion of Phase II trials and for payments to Millennium upon the
achievement of certain clinical milestones. After successful completion of Phase II trials, Millennium would have
had the right to commercialize the products and XOMA would have had the option to choose between continued
participation in the development programs and future profit sharing or being entitled to future royalty and
milestone payments.

In October of 2003, the companies announced the discontinuation of development of MLN2201, based on
preliminary data from a Phase I study that did not meet predefined criteria necessary to support further product
development efforts. As a result, XOMA amended the development agreement with Millennium. Under the terms
of the amended development agreement, the Company has no future obligations to make milestone payments to
Millennium for MLN2201.

In December of 2003, the Company announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a

complement inhibitor for coronary artery bypass graft surgery targeting vascular inflammation associated with
such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. In October of
2004, the Company announced the amendment of its agreements with Millennium whereby Millennium assumed
responsibility for all development work and expenses for MLN2222 upon initiation of Phase II testing. The
Company has now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and has transferred the relevant clinical data from the
trial to Millennium. XOMA is obligated to continue to provide quantities of bulk drug substance and services
requested and paid for by Millennium for future clinical trials. The Company will be entitled to receive an
undisclosed royalty on future net sales of MLN2222, as well as payments related to the achievement of certain
clinical and regulatory milestones.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the related financing arrangement

between XOMA and Millennium.

Triton

In October of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Triton under which Triton licensed from
XOMA the exclusive worldwide right to use the Company’s ING-1 monoclonal antibody with Triton’s Targeted
Nano-Therapeutics™ System. The license to Triton includes U.S. and foreign patent rights related to the

F-19

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

Company’s ING-1 and Human Engineering™ technologies along with several pending applications. ING-1
remains available for licensing outside the field covered by the Triton license.

Cubist

In September of 2005, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Cubist to develop production
processes and to manufacture HepeX-B™, a novel two-antibody biologic, in quantities sufficient to conduct
Phase III clinical trials. HepeX-B™ is a combination of two fully human monoclonal antibodies that target HBV
surface antigens. The product, which has been granted Orphan Drug Status in both the United States and the
European Union, is currently being evaluated in Phase II trials for the prevention of HBV re-infection in liver
transplant patients. If the contemplated Phase III trials are successful, the companies may extend the relationship
to a commercial supply agreement for product launch. The Company has received $0.8 million as an advance
under the letter agreement and has incurred $0.4 million in costs in connection with work performed under the
agreement. The advance is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial statements and the costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement have been included in contract research and development costs.

NIAID

In March of 2005, the Company was awarded a $15.0 million contract from NIAID, a division of the NIH,

to develop three anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibody therapeutics. The contract work will be
performed over an 18-month period and will be 100% funded with Federal funds from NIAID under Contract
No. HHSN266200500004C. XOMA will recognize revenue over the life of the contract as the services are
performed and, pursuant to the retainage provisions of the contract, a 10% retention on all revenue is deferred
and classified as a receivable until completion of the contract. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the
Company recorded revenues of $5.2 million from this contract. Accounts receivables from NIAID at
December 31, 2005 amounts to $2.7 million, including retained amounts of $0.7 million.

Onyx

In January of 2001, XOMA signed a strategic process development and manufacturing agreement with
Onyx for its ONYX-015 product. The initial term was five years, with options to extend for additional periods.
Under the terms of the agreement, Onyx was obliged to pay the Company an initial payment as well as payments
for development work and material produced and payments upon achieving key milestones. In June of 2003,
Onyx announced that it was discontinuing its therapeutic virus program to focus its resources on its BAY
43-9006 anticancer compound. Onyx notified XOMA on June 23, 2003, of its intention to terminate the
Company’s related process development and manufacturing agreement effective 120 days from the date of
notification. Under the terms of the agreement, Onyx paid $0.5 million as a facility fee plus $1.0 million as a
termination fee in the fourth quarter of 2003 and, in accordance with XOMA’s revenue recognition policy, these
amounts were recognized primarily in the fourth quarter of 2003 as the Company’s service commitments were
completed at that time. Additionally, the Company accelerated the amortization of $1.0 million remaining in
deferred revenue over the 120-day notification period.

Baxter

In January of 2000, Baxter’s Hyland Immuno division acquired the worldwide rights to XOMA’s
NEUPREX® (rBPI21) for development in antibacterial and anti-endotoxin indications. XOMA received initial
non-refundable license and signing fees of $10.0 million. In July of 2003, the Company and Baxter terminated
the license and supply agreements for the NEUPREX® product. XOMA received a one-time termination payment

F-20

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

of $10.0 million in January of 2004. Until such payment was made, Baxter continued to reimburse the Company
for a portion of certain development expenses as they were incurred. The Company recognized the $10.0 million
termination fee as revenue at the time of the termination in the third quarter of 2003. In addition, XOMA
recorded a charge of $1.3 million related to the Baxter inventory, which would no longer have net realizable
value following the Baxter agreement termination. Due to the nature of the inventory, the $1.3 million charge
was recorded in research and development expense.

Alexion

In December of 2003, XOMA entered into a collaboration agreement with Alexion to jointly develop and
commercialize a rationally designed TPO mimetic antibody to treat chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia.
Thrombocytopenia is an abnormal blood condition in which the number of platelets is reduced, potentially
leading to bleeding complications. Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA agreed to share development and
commercialization expenses with Alexion, including preclinical development, manufacturing and marketing
costs world-wide, as well as revenues, generally on a 70-30 basis, with XOMA’s share being 30%. Alexion
received a payment from us tied to initiation of the collaboration and is entitled to receive a payment tied to
achievement of a regulatory milestone. XOMA is entitled to royalty payments and milestones related to the
Company’s bacterial expression technology. In November of 2004, XOMA and Alexion determined that the lead
molecule in the Company’s TPO mimetic collaboration did not meet the criteria established in the program for
continued development. In the first quarter of 2005, XOMA and Alexion determined not to continue with this
development program and, in the second quarter of 2005, the collaboration was terminated.

Zephyr

In November of 2004, XOMA entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Zephyr for the
research, development and commercialization of products related to BPI, including the Company’s NEUPREX®
product which is a particular fragment of rBPI and has been tested in clinical trials in several indications. Under
the terms of the agreement, XOMA is entitled to receive license fees totaling up to $11.0 million and milestone
payments totaling up to $61.9 million, as well as royalties on sales of future products developed and approved
under the agreement. The agreement also included due diligence provisions related to the development of BPI in
multiple indications with Zephyr funding all future research and development activities. The agreement did not
cover BPI-derived peptide products. In November of 2004, XOMA announced the licensing of the Company’s
BPI product platform, including the Company’s NEUPREX® product, to Zephyr. In July of 2005, the Company
announced its decision to terminate the license agreement with Zephyr due to Zephyr not meeting the financing
requirements of the license agreement. The Company has no further obligations under the terms of the original
agreement nor will there be any additional costs related to the termination of the agreement.

6. Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements

Genentech

Under an arrangement with Genentech (see Note 5), the Company received financing for its share of
RAPTIVA® development costs through the issuance of convertible subordinated notes due at the earlier of April
of 2005 or upon first regulatory approval of RAPTIVA®, which occurred on October 27, 2003. The notes bear
interest at rates of LIBOR plus 1% (2.9% at December 31, 2004) compounded and reset at the end of June and
December each year. Interest is payable at maturity.

The agreement was amended March 31, 2003, to provide the following terms:

•

The credit limit under the convertible subordinated debt agreement to finance XOMA’s share of
development costs was increased to $80.0 million. The convertible subordinated note was to mature

F-21

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

upon the earlier of (a) April of 2005, except for advances made after April of 2003, in which case
payment would be due on the second anniversary date(s) of such advances or (b) within 90 days after
first product approval which occurred on October 27, 2003. At XOMA’s election, the convertible
subordinated note was to be repaid in cash or with shares with the conversion price to be calculated at
the time of payment based on the fair market value at the time of election. If repayment were triggered
by product approval, XOMA could elect to defer payment of up to $40.0 million as an offset against the
Company’s proceeds from its 25% share of U.S. operating profits on the product. Following product
approval, on November 3, 2003, XOMA announced its election to defer payment of approximately
$40.0 million of this debt as provided above and on December 22, 2003, the Company issued 2,959 of
convertible preference shares to repay the approximately $29.6 million remaining outstanding balance.

• An additional $15.0 million debt facility was established to finance XOMA’s share of U.S.

commercialization costs. The note payable was to mature upon the earlier of (a) April of 2005, except
for advances made after April of 2003 in which case payment will be due on the second anniversary
date(s) of such advances or (b) within 90 days after first product approval by the FDA which occurred
on October 27, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance under this note totaled
approximately $13.2 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the outstanding balance of $3.0 million
related to 2002 commercialization costs was repaid in cash in January of 2004. The balance of $10.2
million which relates to 2003 commercialization costs was repaid in cash in May of 2004.

• XOMA granted Genentech a security interest in the Company’s profit share on RAPTIVA® as collateral

against any unpaid past due amounts of the loans.

The agreement was further amended in January of 2005, wherein XOMA’s liability for the remaining $40.9

million balance outstanding under the development loan, including accrued interest, was extinguished and the
profit sharing arrangement was terminated. The Company recorded a one-time gain to other income of $40.9
million related to the extinguishment of the loan. The Company has no further obligation under the loan
arrangement.

Millennium

In November of 2001, in conjunction with the Millennium development agreement (see Note 5),

Millennium committed to purchase, at XOMA’s option, up to $50.0 million worth of the Company’s common
shares over three years, through a combination of equity at prevailing market prices in return for cash and
retirement of XOMA’s convertible debt. In October of 2003, in conjunction with discontinuing development of
MLN2201, the investment agreement was amended and the remaining funding amounts were reduced by 40%
from a total of $33.5 million to a total of $20.1 million.

In February of 2004, the investment agreement was further revised to extend the maturity date of the $5.0

million outstanding convertible debt to April 15, 2004, and to re-schedule the Company’s decision points
regarding whether to sell the remaining $14.7 million worth of common shares to four option dates through
March of 2005, at each of which the Company could issue up to $3,675,000 worth of common shares. In October
of 2004, the investment agreement with Millennium was terminated and there will be no further issuance of the
Company’s common shares to Millennium.

In July of 2004, the Company exercised its option to sell 920,284 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds

of $3.7 million or $3.99 per share. In November of 2003, the Company exercised its option to sell 763,719 shares
to Millennium for gross proceeds of $5.4 million or $7.07 per share. In June of 2003, the Company exercised its
option to sell 608,766 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $4.0 million or $6.57 per share. In April of
2004, XOMA repaid the $5.0 of convertible debt to Millennium in full in cash.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

Chiron

In May of 2005, the Company executed a secured note agreement with Chiron. Under the note agreement,

Chiron agreed to make semi-annual loans to the Company, to fund up to 75% of the Company’s research and
development and commercialization costs under the collaboration arrangement, not to exceed $50.0 million in an
aggregate principal amount. Any unpaid principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest shall be due
and payable in full on June 21, 2015, the tenth anniversary date of the advance date on which the first loan was
made. Interest on the unpaid balance of the principal amount of each loan shall accrue at a floating rate per
annum which was equal to 6.67% at December 31, 2005, and is payable semi-annually in June and December of
each year. At the Company’s election, the semi-annual interest payments can be added to the outstanding
principal amount, in lieu of a cash payment, as long as the aggregate principal amount does not exceed $50.0
million. Loans under the note agreement are secured by the Company’s interest in its collaboration with Chiron,
including its share of any profits arising therefrom. At December 31, 2005, the outstanding principal balance
under this note agreement totaled $12.4 million.

Convertible Senior Notes

In February of 2005, XOMA issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due in 2012, the
proceeds of which are being used for general corporate purposes, including current research and development
projects, the development of new products or technologies, equipment acquisitions, general working capital
purposes and operating expenses. The notes were initially convertible into approximately 32 million common
shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of the Company’s common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes,
which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share. Before February 6, 2008,
the Company could not have redeemed the notes. On or after February 6, 2008, XOMA could have redeemed any
or all of the notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the Company’s common
shares traded at 150% of the conversion price then in effect for 20 trading days in a 30 consecutive trading day
period. Holders of the notes could have required us to repurchase some or all of the notes for cash at a repurchase
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest following a
fundamental change. In addition, following certain fundamental changes, XOMA would have increased the
conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, XOMA could have, in certain
circumstances, elected to adjust the conversion rate and related conversion obligation so that the notes would
have been convertible into shares of the acquiring, continuing or surviving company. The convertible senior
notes were issued, to the initial purchasers, for net proceeds of $56.6 million. The issuance costs of
approximately $3.4 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 84 month life of the notes, and
are disclosed as current and long-term debt issuance costs on the balance sheet.

In February of 2006, XOMA exchanged all of these convertible senior notes for $60.0 million 6.5%
Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 and issued an additional $12.0 million of its 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM to the
public. See “Subsequent Events.”

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

In September of 2003, the Company sold 9,000,000 common shares at a price of $8.00 per share in an

underwritten public offering. The Company received approximately $67.2 million of net proceeds during the
third quarter of 2003. In October of 2003, the underwriters for the public offering exercised their option to
purchase 1,350,000 common shares at $8.00 per share to cover over-allotments. The Company received $10.2
million in additional net cash proceeds.

Preference Shares

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has the authority to issue 1,000,000 preference shares, par value

$.05 per share. Of these, 210,000 preference shares have been designated Series A Preference Shares and 8,000
preference shares have been designated Series B Preference Shares.

•

•

Series A: As of December 31, 2005, the Company has authorized 210,000 Series A Preference Shares of
which none were outstanding at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. (See “Shareholder Rights Plan”
below.)

Series B: As of December 31, 2005, the Company has authorized 8,000 Series B Preference Shares. In
December of 2003, the Company issued 2,959 of the Series B preference shares to Genentech in
repayment of $29.6 million of the outstanding balance under the convertible subordinated debt
agreement. Pursuant to the rights of the Series B preference shares, the holders of Series B preference
shares will not be entitled to receive any dividends on the Series B preference shares. The Series B
preference shares will rank senior with respect to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of
XOMA to all classes of common shares. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of XOMA, holders of Series B preference shares will be entitled to receive $10,000 per
share of Series B preference shares before any distribution is made on the common shares. The holder of
the Series B preference shares has no voting rights, except as required under Bermuda law.

The holder of Series B preference shares has the right to convert Series B preference shares into
common shares at a conversion price equal to $7.75 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. Accordingly, the 2,959 issued Series B preference shares are convertible into
approximately 3,818,000 common shares.

The Series B preference shares will be automatically converted into common shares at its then effective
conversion rate immediately upon the transfer by the initial holder to any third party which is not an
affiliate of such holder. The Company will have the right, at any time and from time to time, to redeem
any or all Series B preference shares for cash in an amount equal to the conversion price multiplied by
the number of common shares into which each such share of Series B preference shares would then be
convertible.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements.”

Management Incentive Compensation Plans

The Board of Directors of the Company established a Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“MICP”)

effective July 1, 1993, in which management employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer), as well as
certain additional discretionary participants chosen by the Chief Executive Officer, are eligible to participate. The
Chief Executive Officer is covered under a CEO Incentive Compensation Plan (“CICP”) which was established
by the Board of Directors of the Company effective January 1, 2004.

As of January 1, 2004, awards earned under the MICP and CICP vest immediately upon the distribution date

which occurs during the first quarter of the following fiscal year with half of the award payable in cash and half
in common shares, so long as the participant remains an employee of the Company.

F-24

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

Awards earned under the MICP prior to 2004 vest over a three-year period with 50% of each award payable

during the first quarter of the following fiscal year and 25% payable on each of the next two annual distribution
dates, so long as the participant remains an employee of the Company. The 50% on the first distribution date is
payable half in cash and half in common shares. The balance on the next two annual distribution dates is payable,
at the election of the participant, all in cash, all in common shares or half in cash and half in common shares or,
for elections not made in a timely manner, all in common shares.

The maximum number of common shares issuable pursuant to awards made for the years ended

December 31, 2005 and 2004, under the two plans were 276,251 and 371,274, respectively, and these shares have
been reserved under the Restricted Plan (as defined below).

The amounts charged to expense under the MICP and CICP were $1.5 million, $2.3 million and $1.6 million
for the plan years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, $1.8 million was accrued related
to these plans.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

In 1998, the shareholders approved the 1998 Employee Share Purchase Plan (“Share Purchase Plan”) which
provides employees of the Company the opportunity to purchase common shares through payroll deductions. The
Company has reserved 1,500,000 common shares for issuance under the Share Purchase Plan. An employee may
elect to have payroll deductions made under the Share Purchase Plan for the purchase of common shares in an
amount not to exceed 15% of the employee’s compensation.

Prior to December 31, 2004, the purchase price per common share was either (i) an amount equal to 85% of
the fair market value of a common share on the first day of a 24-month offering period or on the last day of such
offering period, whichever was lower, or (ii) such higher price as may be set by the Compensation Committee of
the Board at the beginning of such offering period.

Effective January 1, 2005 the plan was amended to reduce future offering periods to three months and to

change the purchase price per common share to 95% of the closing price of XOMA shares on the exercise date.

In 2005 and 2004, employees purchased 129,433 and 254,258 common shares, respectively under the Share
Purchase Plan. Payroll deductions under the Share Purchase Plan totaled $47,000, $0.3 million and $0.4 million
for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On February 26, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan
(“Rights Plan”), which is designed to extend the provisions of a similar rights plan originally adopted in October
of 1993. Under the Rights Plan, Preference Share Purchase Rights (“Rights”) will be authorized and granted at
the rate of one Right for each common share held of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2003. Each
Right entitles the registered holder of common shares to buy a fraction of a share of the new series of Preference
Shares (“Series A Preference Shares”) at an exercise price of $30.00, subject to adjustment. The Rights will be
exercisable and will detach from the common share, only if a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of the
common shares, announces a tender or exchange offer that if consummated will result in a person or group
beneficially owning 20 percent or more of the common shares or if the Board of Directors declares a person or
group owning 10 percent or more of the outstanding common shares to be an Adverse Person (as defined in the
Rights Plan). Once exercisable, each Right will entitle the holder (other than the acquiring person) to purchase

F-25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

units of Series A Preference Share (or, in certain circumstances, common shares of the acquiring person) with a
value of twice the Rights exercise price. The Company will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.001
per Right at any time until the close of business on the tenth day after the Rights become exercisable. The Rights
will expire at the close of business on February 26, 2013.

Share Options and Warrants

At December 31, 2005, the Company had share-based compensation plans, as described below. The

aggregate number of common shares that may be issued under these plans is 11,765,000 shares.

Share Option Plan

Under the Company’s amended 1981 Share Option Plan (“Option Plan”), qualified and non-qualified

options of the Company’s common shares may be granted to certain employees and other individuals as
determined by the Board of Directors at not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant.
Options granted under the Option Plan may be exercised when vested and expire generally ten years from the
date of grant or three months from the date of termination of employment (longer in the case of death or certain
retirements). Options granted generally vest over four or five years. The Option Plan will terminate on
November 15, 2011. Up to 11,150,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the Option Plan. As of
December 31, 2005, options covering 4,913,801 common shares were outstanding under the Option Plan.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company also has a Restricted Share Plan (“Restricted Plan”) which provides for the issuance of

options or the direct sale of common shares to certain employees and other individuals as determined by the
Board of Directors at not less than 85% of fair market value of the common shares on the grant date. Each option
issued under the Restricted Plan will be a non-statutory share option under the federal tax laws and will have a
term not in excess of ten years from the grant date or three months from the date of termination of employment
(longer in the case of death or certain retirements). Options granted generally vest over four or five years. The
Restricted Plan will terminate on November 15, 2011.

The Company has granted options with exercise prices at 85% of fair market value on the date of grant. Up
to 1,500,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the Restricted Plan, subject to the condition that not more

F-26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

than 11,150,000 shares are authorized under both the Option Plan and the Restricted Plan. As of December 31,
2005, options covering 183,795 common shares were outstanding under the Restricted Plan.

The Company amortizes deferred compensation, which is the difference between the issuance price or
exercise price as determined by the Board of Directors and the fair market value of the shares at the date of sale
or grant over the period benefited.

Directors Share Option Plan and Other Options

In 1992, the shareholders approved a Directors Share Option Plan (“Directors Plan”) which provides for the

issuance of options to purchase common shares to non-employee directors of the Company at 100% of the fair
market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Up to 600,000 shares are authorized for issuance during the
term of the Directors Plan. Options vest on the date of grant and have a term of up to ten years. As of
December 31, 2005, options for 309,500 common shares were outstanding under the Directors Plan.

In addition, in July of 2002, the Company granted a non-qualified fully-vested option to a director to
purchase 15,000 common shares at 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, which will
expire in ten years. This option was not issued as part of the Directors Plan.

Warrants

In February of 2000, warrants to purchase up to 250,000 common shares at $5.00 per share were issued to

the placement agents in conjunction with a private placement of common shares. All of these warrants expired in
February of 2005.

In July of 1999, warrants to purchase up to 150,000 common shares at $5.75 per share were issued to the
placement agents in conjunction with a private placement of common shares. All of these warrants expired in
July of 2004.

XOMA issued 379,000 warrants to purchase common shares in January of 1999 and March of 1999. Each

January and March 1999 warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one common share, subject to anti-
dilution adjustments. The remaining holder, OTAPE Investments LLC, exercised the remaining warrants in a net
issuance in January of 2004 for 15,500 common shares. As of December 31, 2005, none of these warrants were
outstanding.

In July of 1998, warrants to purchase 250,000 common shares at $6.00 per share were issued to Incyte
Corporation in partial payment of license fees. These warrants expire in July of 2008. As of December 31, 2005,
there were 125,000 of these warrants outstanding.

All of the above warrants were exercisable upon issuance. The fair value of the warrants issued to placement
agents and advisors were determined using the Black Scholes valuation method and capitalized as issuance costs
associated with the equity financing and charged against paid-in capital.

Legal Proceedings

In April of 2005, a complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, in a lawsuit captioned

Hanna v. Genentech, Inc. and XOMA (US) LLC, No. 2005004386, by an alleged participant in one of the clinical
trials of RAPTIVA®. The lawsuit was thereafter removed to the United States District Court, Northern District of
Illinois, No. 05C 3251. The complaint asserts claims for alleged strict product liability and negligence against
Genentech and the Company based on injuries alleged to have occurred as a result of plaintiff’s treatment in the
clinical trials. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages alleged to be in excess of $100,000.
Although the Company has not yet fully assessed the merits of this lawsuit, it intends to vigorously investigate
and pursue available defenses. The Company does not believe that this matter, or the resolution of this matter,
will have a material impact upon its future consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The net increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance was $(15.8) million, $45.4 million and $2.8 million
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Approximately $32.3 million in unutilized
net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) expired in 2005.

FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“SFAS 109”) provides for the recognition of

deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available
evidence, which includes the Company’s historical operating performance and carryback potential, the Company
has determined that total deferred tax assets should be fully offset by a valuation allowance.

XOMA’s accumulated federal and state tax net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards as of

December 31, 2005, are as follows:

Do not expire

The availability of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to

substantial limitation if it should be determined that there has been a change in ownership of more than 50
percent of the value of the Company’s shares over a three year period.

In 2005, income tax expense was $3,000 compared with zero in 2004, the expense in 2005 is related to

activities of our foreign operations.

10. Related Party Transactions

In 1993, the Company granted a short-term, secured loan to an officer, director and shareholder of the
Company which has been extended annually. In March of 2003, the outstanding principal and interest were paid
in full.

11. Deferred Savings Plan

Under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Board of Directors adopted, effective
June 1, 1987, a tax-qualified deferred compensation plan for employees of the Company. Participants may make
contributions which defer up to 50% of their eligible compensation per payroll period, up to a maximum for 2005
of $14,000 (or $18,000 for employees over 50 years of age). The Company may, at its sole discretion, make
contributions each plan year, in cash or in the Company’s common shares, in amounts which match up to 50% of
the salary deferred by the participants. The expense related to these contributions was $0.6 million; $0.6 million
and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

12. Subsequent Events

In February of 2006, the Company completed an exchange offer with holders of its 6.5% convertible senior

notes due 2012 in which the Company exchanged $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its new 6.5%
Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 (New Notes) for all $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its then
outstanding convertible senior notes due 2012. XOMA also issued an additional $12.0 million of New Notes to
the public for cash at a public offering price of 104% of principal, or $12.5 million. The New Notes are initially

F-30

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

convertible into approximately 38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of its common
shares per $1,000 principal amount of New Note, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately
$1.87 per common share. Before February 10, 2010, the Company may not redeem the New Notes. On or after
February 10, 2010, the Company may redeem any or all of the New Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, XOMA may automatically convert some or all of the New Notes on or
prior to the maturity date if the closing price of its common shares has exceeded 150% of the conversion price
then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading day period ending within five trading
days prior to the notice of auto-conversion. If the Company elects to automatically convert, or if holders elect to
voluntarily convert, some or all of the New Notes on or prior to February 10, 2010, it must pay or provide for
additional interest equal to four years’ worth of interest less any interest paid or provided for, on the principal
amount so converted, prior to the date of conversion. Additional interest, if any, shall be paid in cash or, solely at
the Company’s option and subject to certain limitations, in its common shares valued at the conversion price then
in effect.

In accounting for the New Notes, XOMA will apply guidance as set forth in EITF 96-19, SFAS 133, EITF
05-7, EITF 00-19, and EITF 01-6 as follows. The exchange offer is a modification of existing debt, rather than
extinguishment. The additional interest payment upon conversion is an embedded derivative requiring separate
accounting. The Company considered the provisions of EITF 05-2 and concluded that this is not conventional
convertible debt.

In accordance with SFAS 133, XOMA is required to separately account for the additional interest payment

feature of the New Notes as an embedded derivative instrument, which must be measured at fair value and
reflected on the balance sheet in “other liabilities.” Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative will be
recognized in earnings as a component of other income (expense). The Company has estimated the fair value of
the additional interest payment feature to be $5.8 million, including approximately $1.0 million related to the
New Notes issued for cash, based on current information including share price. For the New Notes issued in the
exchange offer, this amount will be subtracted from the carrying value of the debt, reflected as a debt discount,
which will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method through the date the notes are
scheduled to mature and separately reported as a derivative liability. For the New Notes issued in the new money
offering, this amount will be deducted from the proceeds.

In accounting for the New Notes, XOMA will also apply the guidance set forth in EITF 05-7, which

specifies the appropriate basis to account for the auto-conversion feature within the exchange offer as it is a
change to the initial conversion option. Under this guidance, the change in fair value of the auto-conversion
feature before and after the modification will be reflected as a debt discount/premium and additional paid-in
capital over the life of the New Notes. The debt discount/premium will be amortized to earnings over the life of
the debt. The Company has estimated the fair value change of the auto-conversion feature to be $0.0 million
based on current information including share price, which is reflected as a debt premium.

XOMA also applied the guidance set forth in EITF 00-27, which specifies the appropriate basis to account

for contingent beneficial conversion premiums, and noted that no BCF existed for either the New Notes issued in
the exchange offer or the New Notes issued for cash.

for the treatment of moderate−to−severe plaque psoriasis under an agreement with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) as a result of a prior collaborative product
development program. We also have a future royalty interest in additional therapeutic antibody product candidates being developed by others as a result of
licensing our technologies. XOMA’s pipeline includes both proprietary products and collaborative programs at various stages of preclinical and clinical
development primarily directed toward treatments for cancer and immune disorders. XOMA possesses a broad technology platform for the discovery,
optimization and manufacture of therapeutic antibodies as well as a fully integrated product development infrastructure for antibodies and other biologics. In
addition to supporting our product pipeline, we use our infrastructure to provide process development and manufacturing services on a fee−for−service basis.

Strategy

Our strategy is to develop and manufacture antibodies and other recombinant protein products to treat cancer, immunological and inflammatory disorders,

and infectious diseases. In addition to our own proprietary products, we broaden our pipeline by leveraging our development and manufacturing infrastructure
through collaborations with other companies and research institutions. Our goal is to become profitable in the next three years while continuing to strengthen our
product pipeline. We recognize the challenging nature of this goal, and the principal elements of our strategy are to:

•

•

•

•

•

Continue to build a diverse portfolio of product candidates. We are developing a pipeline of product candidates in a variety of therapeutic areas at
various stages of clinical and preclinical development. We believe this strategy may increase the likelihood of successful product approval and
commercialization, while reducing our exposure to the risk inherent in developing any one drug or focusing on a single therapeutic area.

Seek to license or acquire complementary products and technologies. We intend to supplement our internal drug discovery efforts through the
acquisition of products and technologies that complement our internal product development strategy. We intend to continue to identify, evaluate and
pursue the licensing or acquisition of other strategically valuable products and technologies.

Leverage our core competencies. We believe that we have significant expertise in recombinant protein development and production, which we have
used to establish a strong platform for the development of antibody and other protein−related pharmaceutical products. We intend to leverage these
competencies to develop valuable products addressing markets with important unmet medical needs. When strategically advantageous, we may seek
marketing arrangements with other pharmaceutical companies for the further advancement of our product candidates.

Outlicense select product candidates. We have additional internally developed product candidates, which we will consider outlicensing in the future,
if we believe that it will bring us additional financial resources and increase the likelihood of regulatory approval and successful commercialization of
such products within or outside the United States.

Utilize excess manufacturing capacity. We currently have manufacturing capacity beyond that required for the production of our own proprietary and
collaborative products. We are actively seeking additional relationships that would utilize this excess capacity and bring us additional financial
resources.

CHIR−12.12 with Chiron Corporation (“Chiron”) is an anti−CD40 antagonist antibody intended as a treatment for B−cell malignancies. This
antibody has a dual mechanism of action blocking a tumor cell growth and survival signal as well as recruiting immune effector cells to kill tumor
cells. CHIR−12.12 is the first product candidate selected under the multi−product antibody development and commercialization agreement for the
treatment of cancer announced by Chiron and ourselves in March of 2004. The first Investigative New Drug (“IND”) application submission took
place in December of 2004. In April 2005, we announced the initiation of Phase I study for patients with advance chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(“CLL”). Then in October 2005, we initiated a second Phase I study for patients with multiple myeloma (“MM”).

®

 (opebacan/rBPI21) is an injectable formulation of rBPI21, a modified recombinant fragment of human

NEUPREX
bactericidal/permeability−increasing protein (“BPI”). BPI is a human host−defense protein made by a type of white blood cell that is involved in the
body’s defenses against microbial infection.

In October of 2003, in conjunction with Children’s Medical Center Dallas, we announced the initiation of an open−label, single center, dose
escalation, investigator−sponsored, Phase I/II clinical trial of NEUPREX ® in pediatric patients with congenital heart abnormalities requiring open
heart surgery associated with cardiopulmonary bypass. The study plans to investigate dosing, efficacy endpoints and safety to assess the potential for
conducting larger, additional studies.

We have previously tested NEUPREX® in clinical trials for several infectious and inflammatory conditions including meningococcemia and are
evaluating future options for developing the product in multiple indications.

The safety profile of NEUPREX® continues to be an attractive clinical feature evidenced by ongoing investigator−sponsored studies. Several clinical
investigators are conducting or plan to conduct studies in other target indications including pediatric open heart surgery, burn injury and allogeneic
hematopoietic stem cell transplant (“HSCT”). The HSCT studies may provide proofs of concept for acute radiation syndrome for possible biodefense
application. In Europe, we submitted an application to the European Medicines Agency (“EMEA”) for orphan drug designation in meningococcal
disease. In 2005, we decided to cease investigating the use of NEUPREX ® as a possible treatment for plague.

XMA005.2 is a Human Engineered
 monoclonal antibody with a high−affinity and potent inhibitory activity against its inflammatory target. This
high potency means that it may be suitable for use as a monthly−dose injectable therapeutic. We are currently evaluating XMA005.2 in preclinical
studies targeting multiple indications, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, where less frequent dosing could be a significant marketing
advantage. We plan to start clinical testing for this molecule in the first half of 2007.

Anti−gastrin Mab with Aphton Corporation (“Aphton”). In September of 2004, we announced a worldwide collaboration to develop treatments
for gastrointestinal (“GI”) and other gastrin−sensitive cancers using anti−gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Antibodies to be developed under the
collaboration will bind and neutralize the hormone gastrin 17 that is believed to be involved in tumor progression in GI cancers. Gastrin expression
and the appearance of gastrin receptors have been associated with increasing malignant characteristics of GI tumors and with poorer prognostic
outcomes. Specifically, gastrin has been shown to be involved in the progression of colorectal, stomach, liver and pancreatic cancers and inhibiting
gastrin may inhibit such growth.

• Metabolic Disease Target with Lexicon Genetics (“Lexicon”). Metabolic Disease Target is a secreted protein involved in metabolic functions such
as insulin sensitivity and weight gain that was identified through Lexicon’s Knockout Technology. Antibodies to this target may be developed to treat
Type II diabetes, obesity and other metabolic diseases.

• MLN2222 (also known as CAB2) with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Millennium”). In December of 2003, we announced the initiation of a
Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a complement inhibitor for coronary artery bypass graft surgery targeting vascular inflammation associated
with such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. In October of 2004, we announced the
amendment of our agreements with Millennium whereby Millennium assumed responsibility for all development work and expenses for MLN2222
upon initiation of Phase II testing. We have now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and have transferred the relevant clinical data from the trial to
Millennium. We are obligated to continue to provide quantities of bulk drug substance and services requested and paid for by Millennium for future
clinical trials. We will be entitled to receive an undisclosed royalty on future net sales of MLN2222, as well as payments related to the achievement of
certain clinical and regulatory milestones.

clinical studies of ING−1, testing both intravenous and subcutaneous formulations in patients with advanced or refractory adenocarcinomas.

 monoclonal antibody developed by us to specifically target tumor cells in adenocarcinoma patients. ING−1

™

In October of 2004, we entered into an agreement with Triton BioSystems, Inc. (“Triton”) under which Triton has in−licensed the exclusive
worldwide right to use the ING−1 monoclonal antibody with Triton’s Targeted Nano−Therapeutics ™ (“TNT™”) System. The TNT™ System is an
innovative product that ablates tumors by using tiny magnetic spheres delivered, to the tumor, systemically with antibodies and heated by means of a
magnetic field directed to the tumor. The combination of the ING−1 antibody with the TNT ™ System is intended to create a novel, highly selective,
safe, and effective treatment for adenocarcinomas, such as breast, colorectal, lung, ovary and prostate. ING−1 remains available for licensing outside
the field covered by the Triton license.

XMP.629 is a topical anti−bacterial formulation of a BPI−derived peptide under development as a possible treatment for acne. Certain bacteria
commonly found on human skin are associated with inflammatory lesions in acne patients. The emergence of strains resistant to current antibiotics
used to treat acne has encouraged our researchers to review the properties of the compound for this dermatological indication. In 2003, we completed
two Phase I clinical trials to evaluate skin irritation and pharmacokinetics of the compound. In January of 2004, we announced the initiation of Phase
II clinical testing in patients with mild−to−moderate acne. In August of 2004, we announced that the results of this trial were inconclusive in
demonstrating a clinical benefit of XMP.629 when compared with vehicle gel, and we are conducting further analysis to determine whether and how
to continue clinical development of the product.

Below is a summary of certain proprietary technologies used by us and available for licensing to other companies:

•

Bacterial Cell Expression (“BCE”). Genetically engineered bacteria can be the appropriate choice for recombinant expression of target proteins for
biopharmaceutical research and development. Reasons include the relative simplicity of gene expression in bacteria as well as many years of
experience culturing such species as E. coli in laboratories and manufacturing facilities. In support of our own biopharmaceutical development efforts,
company scientists have developed efficient and cost−effective bacterial expression technologies for producing antibodies and other recombinant
protein products.

We have granted approximately 40 licenses to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to use our patented and proprietary technologies relating
to bacterial expression of recombinant pharmaceutical products. Bacterial antibody expression is an enabling technology for the discovery and
selection, as well as the development and manufacture, of recombinant protein pharmaceuticals, including diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies for
commercial purposes. Bacterial antibody expression is also a key

4

Table of Contents

technology used in multiple systems for high−throughput screening of antibody domains. Expression of antibodies by phage display technology, for
example, depends upon the expression and secretion of antibody domains from bacteria as properly folded, functional proteins.

Current licensees include but are not limited to the following companies:

Active Biotech AB

Affitech AS

Affymax, Inc.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Applied Molecular Evolution, Inc. (AME)

These licenses are sometimes associated with broader collaboration agreements. For example, in December of 2003, we entered into a licensing and
product development agreement with Diversa Corporation (“Diversa”). Under the terms of the agreement, Diversa received a license to use our
antibody expression technology for developing antibody products independently and with collaborators and an option to a license for the production
of antibodies under our patents. We will receive a license fee and potential future milestone and royalty payments. Under the terms of the
development portion of the agreement, we will combine our respective capabilities to discover and develop antibodies. Diversa will receive research
funding from us and is entitled to receive milestones and royalties on any drugs developed under this portion of the agreement.

As of December 31, 2005, we were aware of two antibody products in late−stage clinical testing which are manufactured under licenses using our
BCE technologies. These are UCB’s CIMZIA ™ anti−TNF alpha antibody fragment in trials for Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis, and
Genentech’s Lucentis™ (ranibizumab) antibody fragment against Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (“VEGF”) in trials for wet age−related macular
degeneration.

immunogenicity in humans. The technology uses a unique algorithm developed by us, based on analysis of the conserved structure−function
relationships among antibodies. The method defines which residues in a non−human variable region are candidates to be modified. The result is a
Human Engineered

 antibody with preserved antigen binding, structure and function and eliminated or greatly reduced immunogenicity.

™

Human Engineering™ technology is used in our ING−1 anti−Ep−CAM antibody product, which targets multiple adenocarcinomas and which has been
licensed to Triton for use as a targeting antibody in their TNT ™ System.

In addition, we have access to multiple phage display libraries for the discovery of antibodies. We believe that access to multiple libraries offers us several

benefits, including an increased probability of technical success

5

Table of Contents
in finding high−affinity antibodies to particular targets of interest while reducing development time by permitting screening libraries in parallel where feasible.
These arrangements also provide us with access to certain intellectual property rights and services that complement our existing development capabilities and
help support our antibody product development pipeline.

Our fully integrated infrastructure also allows us to offer technical development and manufacturing services on a fee−for−service basis. In particular, we

have established a strategic antibody manufacturing relationship with Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cubist”) under which we will develop new processes to
manufacture HepeX−B™, a novel two−antibody biologic, in quantities sufficient to conduct Phase III clinical trials, and we were awarded an 18−month contract
worth approximately $15 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”) in March of 2005 to develop three antibody
therapeutics.

Financial and Legal Arrangements of Product Collaborations and Licensing Arrangements

Current Agreements

Genentech

In April of 1996, we entered into an agreement with Genentech for the development of RAPTIVA ®. In March of 2003, we entered into amended and
expanded agreements related to all aspects of the collaboration, to reflect the then current understanding between the companies. The agreements called for us to
share in the development costs and to receive a 25% share of future U.S. operating profits and losses and a royalty on sales outside the U.S. The agreements also
called for Genentech to finance our share of development costs up until first FDA marketing approval via a convertible subordinated loan, and our share of
pre−launch marketing and sales costs via an additional commercial loan facility. Under the loan agreement, upon FDA approval of the product, which occurred
October 27, 2003, we elected to pay $29.6 million of the development loan in convertible preference shares and to defer repayment of the remaining $40.0
million as an offset against future proceeds from our 25% share of U.S. operating profits on the product. On December 22, 2003, we issued the preference shares
to Genentech which are convertible into approximately 3.8 million common shares at a price of $7.75 per common share. The $13.4 million of outstanding
principal and interest on the commercial loan was payable only in cash and was paid in January and May of 2004.

RAPTIVA® is licensed by Genentech outside of the United States and Japan through an agreement made with Serono in August of 2002.

In January of 2005, we announced a restructuring of our arrangement with Genentech on RAPTIVA ®. Under the restructured arrangement, effective
January 1, 2005, we are entitled to receive mid−single digit royalties on worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ® in all indications. The previous cost and profit sharing
arrangement for RAPTIVA® in the United States was discontinued, and Genentech will be responsible for all operating and development costs associated with
the product. Genentech may elect and we may agree to provide further clinical trial or other development services at Genentech’s expense. In addition, our
obligation to pay the outstanding balance to Genentech of $40.9 million under the development loan, including accrued interest, was extinguished.

Either party has the right to terminate upon the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The agreement remains in effect until such time as no

product which is the subject of the agreement is being developed or commercialized anywhere in the world by Genentech, its partners outside the United States,
or any sublicensees of the foregoing.

Chiron

In February of 2004, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide, multi−product collaboration with Chiron to develop and commercialize antibody products
for the treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies agreed to jointly research, develop, and commercialize multiple antibody product
candidates. The

6

Table of Contents
companies share expenses and revenues, generally on a 70−30 basis, with our share being 30%. Chiron’s profit share is subject to a limited upward adjustment,
which, in turn, may be reduced if we achieve certain milestones or if Chiron elects to extend the program from three to five years. Financial terms include initial
payments to us in 2004 totaling $10.0 million and a loan facility, secured by our interest in the collaboration, of up to $50.0 million to fund up to 75% of our
share of expenses beginning in 2005. At December 31, 2005, the outstanding principal balance under this note agreement totaled $12.4 million.

In July of 2004, Chiron acquired Sagres Discovery, a privately held discovery−stage company based in Davis, California, that specializes in the discovery

and validation of oncology targets. Further review of these targets could identify additional antibody target candidates for our collaboration.

In October of 2005, Chiron announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS) (“Novartis”) under which

Novartis will acquire all of the shares of Chiron that it does not currently own. The merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2006.

Aphton

In September of 2004, we announced a worldwide collaboration with Aphton to develop treatments for gastrointestinal and other gastrin−sensitive cancers
using anti−gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies agreed to share all development expenses and all commercialization
profits and losses for all product candidates on a 70/30 basis, with our share being 30%. We will have worldwide manufacturing rights for these products and the
ability to share up to 30% in the commercialization efforts in the United States. Aphton shares U.S. commercialization rights and is entitled to have exclusive
rights to commercialize all products outside the United States. Antibodies to be developed under the collaboration will bind and neutralize the hormone gastrin
17 that is believed to be involved in tumor progression in GI cancers. Gastrin expression and the appearance of gastrin receptors have been associated with
increasing malignant characteristics of GI tumors and with poorer prognostic outcomes. Specifically, gastrin has been shown to be involved in the progression of
colorectal, stomach, liver and pancreatic cancers and inhibiting gastrin may inhibit such growth.

Either party has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement without cause following six months written notice to the other party or with cause upon

the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The agreements remain in effect until all development and commercialization under the agreement has been
discontinued unless sooner terminated.

Lexicon

In June of 2005, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Lexicon to jointly develop and commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets

discovered by Lexicon. The collaboration is designed to combine Lexicon’s target discovery and biotherapeutics capabilities with XOMA’s antibody generation,
process development and manufacturing expertise to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel therapeutic antibodies.

During the three−year initial term, Lexicon will select for submission to the collaboration targets from among those discovered and analyzed in its
Genome5000™ program. In this program, Lexicon is using its gene knockout technology to discover the physiological functions of 5,000 potential drug targets.
XOMA will generate or engineer antibodies that modulate the collaboration’s targets using phage display libraries and its proprietary Human Engineering ™
technology. Lexicon and XOMA will share the responsibility and costs for research, preclinical, clinical and commercialization activities. Costs and profits will
be allocated 65% to Lexicon and 35% to XOMA. XOMA will have principal responsibility for manufacturing antibodies for use in clinical trials and commercial
sales.

Either party has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement without cause following six months written notice to the other party or with cause upon

the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The agreements remain in effect until the least of (a) the expiration or termination of the last to expire of
any valid claim included in the Program Patent Rights, (b) the expiration of the royalty term, or (c) the cessation all development and commercialization under
the agreement.

Millennium

In November of 2001, in conjunction with Millennium, we announced an agreement under which we would collaborate to develop two of Millennium’s
biotherapeutic agents, MLN2222 (also known as CAB2) and MLN2201, for certain vascular inflammation indications. Under the original agreement, for each
product, we were responsible for development activities and related costs through the completion of Phase II trials and for payments to Millennium upon the
achievement of certain clinical milestones. After successful completion of Phase II trials, Millennium would have had the right to commercialize the products
and we would have had the option to choose between continued participation in the development programs and future profit/loss sharing or being entitled to
future royalty and milestone payments.

Under a related investment agreement, Millennium committed to purchase, at our option, up to $50.0 million worth of our common shares over three

years, through a combination of equity at prevailing market prices in return for cash and retirement of our convertible debt.

In October of 2003, we announced the discontinuation of development of MLN2201, based on preliminary data from a Phase I study that did not meet

predefined criteria necessary to support further product development efforts. As a result, we amended the development and investment agreements with
Millennium. Under the terms of the amended development agreement, we have no future obligations to make milestone payments to Millennium for MLN2201.
Under the terms of the amended investment agreement the then remaining funding amounts were reduced by 40% from a total of $33.5 million to a total of $20.1
million.

In December of 2003, we announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a complement inhibitor for coronary artery bypass graft
surgery targeting vascular inflammation associated with such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. In
October of 2004, we announced the amendment of our agreements with Millennium whereby Millennium assumed responsibility for all development work and
expenses for MLN2222 upon initiation of Phase II testing. We have now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and have transferred the relevant clinical data
from the trial to Millennium. We are obligated to continue to provide quantities of bulk drug substance and services requested and paid for by Millennium for
future clinical trials. We will be entitled to receive an undisclosed royalty on future net sales of MLN2222, as well as payments related to the achievement of
certain clinical and regulatory milestones.

In July of 2004, we exercised an option to sell 920,284 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $3.7 million or $3.99 per share; in November of 2003,

we exercised an option to sell 763,719 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $5.4 million or $7.07 per share; in June of 2003, we exercised an option to sell
608,766 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $4.0 million or $6.57 per share; and, in December of 2002, we exercised an option to sell 1,443,418 shares to
Millennium for gross proceeds of $7.5 million or $5.20 per share. In April of 2004, we repaid $5.0 million of convertible debt to Millennium in full in cash. In
October of 2004, the investment agreement with Millennium was terminated and there will be no further issuance of our common shares to Millennium.

Either party has the right to terminate the development agreement upon the breach of a material obligation by the other party.

Triton

In October of 2004, we entered into an agreement with Triton under which Triton has licensed the exclusive worldwide rights from us to use our ING−1
monoclonal antibody with Triton’s TNT™ System. The TNT™ System is an innovative product that ablates tumors by using tiny magnetic spheres delivered, to
the tumor, systemically with antibodies and heated by means of a magnetic field directed to the tumor. The combination of the ING−1 antibody with the TNT ™
System is intended to create a novel, highly selective, safe, and effective treatment for adenocarcinomas, such as breast, colorectal, lung, ovary and prostate. The
license to Triton includes U.S. and foreign patent rights related to our ING−1 and Human Engineering ™ technologies along with several pending applications.
ING−1 remains available for licensing outside the field covered by the Triton license.

Either party has the right to terminate the agreement upon the breach of a material obligation by the other party. The licenses granted under the agreement

remain in effect until terminated.

Cubist

In September of 2005, we announced that we had signed a letter agreement with Cubist to develop production processes and to manufacture HepeX−B ™, a
novel two−antibody biologic, in quantities sufficient to conduct Phase III clinical trials. HepeX−B ™ is a combination of two fully human monoclonal antibodies
that target hepatitis B virus (“HBV”) surface antigens. The product, which has been granted Orphan Drug Status in both the United States and the European
Union, is currently being evaluated in Phase II trials for the prevention of HBV re−infection in liver transplant patients. If the contemplated Phase III trials are
successful, the companies may extend the relationship to a commercial supply agreement for product launch.

NIAID

In March of 2005, we were awarded a $15.0 million contract from NIAID, a division of the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), to develop three

anti−botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibody therapeutics. The contract work will be performed over an 18−month period and will be 100% funded with
Federal funds from NIAID under Contract No. HHSN266200500004C. We recognize revenue over the life of the contract as the services are performed and, as
per the terms of the contract, a 10% retention on all revenue is deferred and classified as a receivable until completion of the contract. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005, we recorded revenues of $5.2 million from this contract.

Recently Terminated Agreements

Onyx

In January of 2001, we entered into a strategic process development and manufacturing agreement with Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Onyx”). The initial

term was five years, with options to extend for additional periods. Under the terms of the agreement, Onyx was obliged to pay us an initial payment as well as
payments for development work and material produced and payments upon achieving key milestones. In June of 2003, Onyx announced that it was discontinuing
its therapeutic virus program to focus its resources on its BAY 43−9006 anticancer compound. On June 23, 2003, Onyx notified us of its intention to terminate
the process development and manufacturing agreement effective 120 days from the date of notification. Onyx paid $0.5 million as a facility fee plus $1.0 million
as a termination fee in the fourth quarter of 2003 and, in accordance with our revenue recognition policy, these amounts were recognized as revenue because our
service commitments were completed. Additionally, we accelerated the amortization of $1.0 million remaining in deferred revenue over the 120−day notification
period.

Baxter

In January of 2000, we entered into license and supply agreements with the Hyland Immuno division of Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”) for

NEUPREX® for treatment of meningococcemia and substantially

9

Table of Contents
all future antibacterial and anti−endotoxin human clinical indications. In July of 2003, Baxter terminated the license and supply agreements for the NEUPREX ®
product. Baxter agreed to make a one−time termination payment of $10.0 million to us. Until the payment was made, Baxter continued to reimburse us for a
portion of certain development expenses that we incurred. We recognized the $10.0 million termination fee as revenue in the third quarter of 2003 and wrote−off,
as research and development expense, $1.3 million related to NEUPREX ® inventory on hand at the termination date. The $10.0 million termination payment was
received in January of 2004.

Alexion

In December of 2003, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alexion”) to jointly develop and commercialize a
rationally designed TPO mimetic antibody to treat chemotherapy−induced thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is an abnormal blood condition in which the
number of platelets is reduced, potentially leading to bleeding complications. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to share development and
commercialization expenses with Alexion, including preclinical development, manufacturing and marketing costs world−wide, as well as revenues, generally on
a 70−30 basis, with our share being 30%. Alexion received a payment from us tied to initiation of the collaboration and is entitled to receive a payment tied to
achievement of a regulatory milestone. We will be entitled to royalty payments and milestones related to our bacterial expression technology. In November of
2004, in conjunction with Alexion, we determined that the lead molecule in our TPO mimetic collaboration did not meet the criteria established in the program
for continued development. In the first quarter of 2005, in conjunction with Alexion, we determined not to continue with this development program and in the
second quarter of 2005, the collaboration was terminated.

Zephyr

In November of 2004, we entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Zephyr Sciences, Inc. (“Zephyr”) for the research, development

and commercialization of products related to BPI, including our NEUPREX ® product which is a particular fragment of rBPI and has been tested in clinical trials
in several indications. Under the terms of the agreement, we will be entitled to receive license fees totaling up to $11.0 million and milestone payments totaling
up to $61.9 million, as well as royalties on sales of future products developed and approved under the agreement. The agreement also includes due diligence
provisions related to the development of BPI in multiple indications with Zephyr funding all future research and development activities. The agreement does not
cover BPI−derived peptide products. In November of 2004, we announced the licensing of our BPI product platform, including our NEUPREX ® product, to
Zephyr. In July of 2005, we announced our decision to terminate the license agreement with Zephyr due to Zephyr not meeting the financing requirements of the
license agreement. We have no further obligations under the terms of the original agreement nor will there be any additional costs related to the termination of
the agreement.

Other Products

We are seeking development and marketing partners for additional products in our pipeline. No assurance can be given regarding the timing or likelihood

of future collaborative arrangements or of product licensure.

We are also pursuing additional opportunities to further broaden our product pipeline through product development collaborations with other

pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Competition

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are subject to continuous and substantial technological change. Competition in the areas of recombinant

DNA−based and antibody−based technologies is intense and expected to increase as new technologies emerge and established biotechnology firms and large
chemical and

10

Table of Contents
pharmaceutical companies continue to advance in the field. A number of these large pharmaceutical and chemical companies have enhanced their capabilities by
entering into arrangements with or acquiring biotechnology companies or entering into business combinations with other large pharmaceutical companies. Many
of these companies have significantly greater financial resources, larger research and development and marketing staffs and larger production facilities than ours.
Moreover, certain of these companies have extensive experience in undertaking preclinical testing and human clinical trials. These factors may enable other
companies to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to ours. In addition, a significant amount of research in biotechnology is being carried
out in universities and other non−profit research organizations. These entities are becoming increasingly interested in the commercial value of their work and
may become more aggressive in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that developments by others will not render our
products or technologies obsolete or uncompetitive.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are aware that:

other companies are developing monoclonal antibody or other products for treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.

There are at least two drugs which may compete with MLN2222. TP10 is a complement inhibitor developed by AVANT Immunotherapeutics Inc.
(“AVANT”) for applications including the limitation of complement−mediated damage following surgery on cardiopulmonary by−pass. AVANT has completed
a Phase II study where the drug demonstrated treatment benefits in males. Alexion and its partner Proctor & Gamble are developing pexelizumab, a monoclonal
antibody. The companies reported in November of 2005 that preliminary results in a Phase III trial of the drug did not achieve its primary endpoint in patients
undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Currently, there are at least two companies developing topical peptide treatments for acne which may compete with XMP.629. Migenix Inc. and its partner

Cutanea Life Sciences, Inc. are developing MBI 594AN, a topical peptide that has completed two Phase II trials for the treatment of acne, and Helix Biomedix,
Inc. is developing several peptide compounds.

In collaboration with Chiron, we are co−developing the monoclonal antibody target CD40, and, at the current time, there are several CD40−related

programs under development, mostly focused on the development of

11

Table of Contents
CD40 ligand products. For example, SGN−40 is a humanized monoclonal antibody under development by Seattle Genetics, Inc. which is targeting CD40
antigen. SGN−40 is currently in Phase I studies in multiple myeloma and non−Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and in a Phase I/II study in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

It is also possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same human protein as our NEUPREX ® product, and these
products may prove to be more effective than NEUPREX ®. It is also possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same
therapeutic target as our XMA005.2 product, and these products may prove to be more effective than XMA005.2.

Regulatory

Our products are subject to comprehensive preclinical and clinical testing requirements and to approval processes by the FDA and by similar authorities in

other countries. Our products are primarily regulated on a product−by−product basis under the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and Section 351(a) of the
Public Health Service Act. Most of our human therapeutic products are or will be classified as biologic products. Approval of a biologic for commercialization
requires licensure of the product and the manufacturing facilities. The review of therapeutic biologic products has been transferred within the FDA from the
Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the body that reviews drug products. Because implementation of
this plan may not be complete, we do not know when or how this change will affect it.

The FDA regulatory process is carried out in several phases. Prior to beginning human clinical testing of a proposed new biologic product, an IND is filed

with the FDA. This document contains scientific information on the proposed product, including results of testing of the product in animal and laboratory
models. Also included is information on manufacture of the product and studies on toxicity in animals and a clinical protocol outlining the initial investigation in
humans.

The initial stage of clinical testing, Phase I, ordinarily encompasses safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluations. Phase II testing
encompasses investigation in specific disease states designed to provide preliminary efficacy data and additional information on safety. Phase III studies are
designed to further establish clinical safety and efficacy and to provide information allowing proper labeling of the product following approval. Phase III studies
are most commonly multi−center, randomized, placebo−controlled trials in which rigorous statistical methodology is applied to clinical results. Other designs
may also be appropriate in specific circumstances.

Following completion of clinical trials, a Biologics License Application is submitted to the FDA to request marketing approval. Internal FDA committees
are formed that evaluate the application, including scientific background information, animal and laboratory efficacy studies, toxicology, manufacturing facility
and clinical data. During the review process, a dialogue between the FDA and the applicant is established in which FDA questions are raised and additional
information is submitted. During the final stages of the approval process, the FDA generally requests presentation of clinical or other data before an FDA
advisory committee, at which point, some or all of such data may become available. Also, during the later stages of review, the FDA conducts an inspection of
the manufacturing facility to establish that the product is made in conformity with good manufacturing practice. If all outstanding issues are satisfactorily
resolved and labeling established, the FDA issues a license for the product and for the manufacturing facility, thereby authorizing commercial distribution.

The FDA has substantial discretion in both the product approval process and the manufacturing approval process. It is not possible to predict at what point,

or whether, the FDA will be satisfied with our submissions or whether the FDA will raise questions which may delay or preclude product approval or
manufacturing facility approval. As additional clinical data is accumulated, it will be submitted to the FDA and may have a material impact on the FDA product
approval process. Given that regulatory review is an interactive and continuous process, we have adopted a policy of limiting announcements and comments
upon the specific details of the ongoing regulatory review of our products, subject to our obligations under the securities laws, until definitive

12

Table of Contents
action is taken. There can be no assurance any of the products we have under development will be developed successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory
approval or be successfully manufactured or marketed.

In Europe, most of our human therapeutic products are or will be classified as biologic and would be subject to a single European registration through a

centralized procedure. The assessment of the Marketing Authorization Application is carried out by a rapporteur and co−rapporteur appointed by the Committee
for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”), which is the expert scientific committee of the EMEA.

The rapporteur and co−rapporteur are drawn from the CHMP membership representing member states of the European Union. They liaise with the
applicant on behalf of the CHMP in an effort to provide answers to queries raised by the CHMP. Their assessment report(s) is circulated to and considered by the
full CHMP membership, leading to the production ultimately of a CHMP opinion which is transmitted to the applicant and Commission. The final decision on an
application is issued by the Commission. When a positive decision is reached, a Marketing Authorization (“MA”) will be issued. Once approval is granted, the
product can be marketed under the single European MA in all member states of the European Union. Consistent with the single MA, the labeling for Europe is
identical throughout all member states except that all labeling must be translated into the local language of the country of intended importation and in relation to
the content of the so called “blue box” on the outer packaging in which locally required information may be inserted. There can be no assurance any of our
products under development will be developed successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory approval or be successfully manufactured or marketed.

Patents and Trade Secrets

As a result of our ongoing activities, we hold and are in the process of applying for a number of patents in the United States and abroad to protect our

products and important processes. We also have obtained or have the right to obtain exclusive licenses to certain patents and applications filed by others.
However, the patent position of biotechnology companies generally is highly uncertain and no consistent policy regarding the breadth of allowed claims has
emerged from the actions of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“Patent Office”) with respect to biotechnology patents. Accordingly, no assurance can be
given that our patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technologies, or others will not obtain patents claiming aspects similar to those
covered by our patent applications.

We have established an extensive portfolio of patents and applications, both in the U.S. and internationally, related to our BPI−related products, including

novel compositions, their manufacture, formulation, assay and use. We are also the exclusive licensee of BPI−related patents and applications owned by New
York University (“NYU”). These include seven issued U.S. patents directed to novel BPI−related protein and DNA compositions, as well as their production and
uses. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,198,541 and 5,641,874, issued to NYU, relate to the recombinant production of BPI. We believe these patents have substantial value
because they cover certain production methodologies that allow production of commercial−scale quantities of BPI for human use. In addition, the European
Patent Office granted to NYU, EP 375724, with claims to N−terminal BPI fragments and their use, alone or in conjunction with antibiotics, for the treatment of
conditions associated with bacterial infections. We are also the exclusive licensee of BPI−related patents and applications owned by Incyte Corporation
(“Incyte”), including those related to endotoxin−associated uses of BPI, uses of BPI with polymannuronic acid and LBP−BPI proteins.

We have established a portfolio of patents and applications related to our LBP−related assays and products, including diagnostic and prognostic methods

for measuring LBP levels in humans. We have also acquired, from Johnson & Johnson, an exclusive sublicense to their LBP−related portfolio, including six U.S.
patents issued to the discoverers of LBP, Drs. Richard Ulevitch and Peter Tobias, at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.

We have established a portfolio of patents, both in the U.S. and internationally, related to our bacterial expression technology, including claims to novel

promoter sequences, secretion signal sequences, compositions

13

Table of Contents
and methods for expression and secretion of recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene products. U.S. Patent No. 5,028,530, issued to
us, is directed to expression vehicles containing an araB promoter, host cells and processes for regulated expression of recombinant proteins. U.S. Patent Nos.
5,576,195 and 5,846,818 are related to DNA encoding a pectate lyase signal sequence, recombinant vectors, host cells and methods for production and
externalization of recombinant proteins. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,898, 5,698,435 and 5,618,920 address secretable immunoglobulin chains, DNA encoding the
chains and methods for their recombinant production. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,693,493, 5,698,417 and 6,204,023 relate to methods for recombinant
production/secretion of functional immunoglobulin molecules.

If certain patents issued to others are upheld or if certain patent applications filed by others issue and are upheld, we may require certain licenses from

others in order to develop and commercialize certain potential products incorporating our technology. There can be no assurance that such licenses, if required,
will be available on acceptable terms.

Research and License Agreements

We have contracted with a number of academic and institutional collaborators to conduct research and development activities. Under these agreements, we

generally fund either the research and development or evaluation of products, technologies or both, will own or obtain exclusive licenses to products or
technologies developed and may pay royalties on sales of products covered by certain licenses. The rates and durations of such royalty payments vary by product
and institution and range, generally, for periods from five years to indefinite duration. Aggregate expenses incurred by us under all of our research agreements
were negligible for each of 2005, 2004 and 2003. We have entered into certain license agreements with respect to the following products:

•

•

In August of 1990, we entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with NYU whereby we obtained an exclusive license to patent
rights for DNA materials and genetic engineering methods for the production of BPI and fragments thereof. BPI is part of the body’s natural defense
system against infection and we are investigating the use of products based on BPI for various indications. We have obtained an exclusive, worldwide
license for the development, manufacture, sale and use of BPI products for all therapeutic and diagnostic uses, have paid a license fee, will make
milestone payments and pay royalties to NYU on the sale of such products. The license becomes fully paid upon the later of the expiration of the
relevant patents or fifteen years after the first commercial sale, subject to NYU’s right to terminate for certain events of default.

Each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon a material breach by the other party of the performance of its obligations under the
agreement, subject to customary cure periods. Upon termination of the agreement prior to the expiration of the relevant patents, all rights in and to
NYU’s intellectual property revert to NYU.

In July of 1998, we entered into a license agreement with Incyte whereby we obtained an exclusive (even as to Incyte), freely sublicenseable,
worldwide license to all of Incyte’s patent rights relating to BPI. We will pay Incyte a royalty on sales of BPI products covered by the license, up to a
maximum of $11.5 million and made a $1.5 million advance royalty payment, one−half in cash and one−half in our common shares. We also issued
warrants to Incyte to purchase 250,000 of our common shares at $6.00 per share. As of December 31, 2005, 125,000 of these warrants remain
outstanding. Due to offsets against other royalties, we may not ultimately incur increased total BPI royalty payments as a result of this license.

The agreement expires in July of 2008 unless, on or prior to such date, the license granted therein becomes fully paid up in accordance with its terms.
Incyte has the right to terminate the agreement (subject to a customary cure period) upon a breach by us of any of our material obligations under the
agreement.

International Operations

We believe that, because the pharmaceutical industry is global in nature, international activities will be a significant part of our future business activities

and that, when and if we are able to generate income, a substantial portion of that income will be derived from product sales and other activities outside the
United States.

A number of risks are inherent in international operations. Foreign regulatory agencies often establish standards different from those in the United States.
An inability to obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis could have an adverse effect on our international business, financial condition and results of
operations. International operations may be limited or disrupted by the imposition of government controls, export license requirements, political or economic
instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs, restrictions on repatriating profits, taxation or difficulties in staffing and managing international operations. In
addition, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully operate in any foreign market.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981 and became a Bermuda company effective December 31, 1998, when we completed a shareholder−approved

corporate reorganization, changing our legal domicile from Delaware to Bermuda and our name to XOMA Ltd. When referring to a time or period before
December 31, 1998, or when the context so requires, the terms “Company” and “XOMA” refer to XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the
predecessor of XOMA Ltd.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we employed 218 non−unionized full−time employees at our California facilities, principally in Berkeley, California, and one

employee in Ireland. Our employees are engaged in clinical, process development and manufacturing, quality assurance and control, research and product
development, and in executive, finance and administrative positions. We consider our employee relations to be excellent.

Item 1A.
Our revenues currently rely significantly on RAPTIVA ® sales.

Risk Factors

Currently, our revenues rely significantly upon sales of RAPTIVA ®, the only pharmaceutical product in which we have a royalty interest that has received
regulatory approval. RAPTIVA® was approved by the FDA on October 27, 2003, for the treatment of chronic moderate−to−severe plaque psoriasis in adults who
are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Genentech and Serono, Genentech’s international marketing partner for RAPTIVA ®, are responsible for the
marketing and sales effort in support of this product. In September of 2004, Serono announced that RAPTIVA ® had received approval for use in the European
Union and the product was launched in several European Union countries in the fourth quarter of 2004. We have no role in marketing and sales efforts, and
neither Genentech nor Serono has an express contractual obligation to us regarding the marketing or sales of RAPTIVA ®.

Under our current arrangement with Genentech, we are entitled to receive royalties on worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ®. Successful commercialization of

this product is subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Genentech’s and Serono’s willingness and ability to implement their marketing and sales effort and achieve sales;

the strength of competition from other products being marketed or developed to treat psoriasis;

the occurrence of adverse events which may give rise to safety concerns;

physicians’ and patients’ acceptance of RAPTIVA

®

 as a treatment for psoriasis;

Genentech’s ability to provide manufacturing capacity to meet demand for the product; and

pricing and reimbursement issues.

According to Genentech, United States sales of RAPTIVA ® for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $20.4 million, compared to $20.9 million for the third
quarter of 2005. According to Serono, sales of RAPTIVA ® outside of the United States for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $11.6 million, compared to $10.0
million for the third quarter of 2005. Given our current reliance on RAPTIVA ® as one of the principal sources of our revenue, any material adverse developments
with respect to the commercialization of RAPTIVA ® may cause our revenue to decrease and may cause us to incur losses in the future.

Because our products are still being developed, we will require substantial funds to continue; we cannot be certain that funds will be available and, if
they are not available, we may have to take actions which could adversely affect your investment.

If adequate funds are not available, we may have to raise additional funds in a manner that may dilute or otherwise adversely affect the rights of existing

shareholders, curtail or cease operations, or file for bankruptcy protection in extreme circumstances. We have spent, and we expect to continue to spend,
substantial funds in connection with:

•

•

•

•

research and development relating to our products and production technologies,

expansion of our production capabilities,

various human clinical trials and

protection of our intellectual property.

Based on current spending levels, anticipated revenues, collaborator funding, proceeds from our convertible note offerings in February of 2005 and

February of 2006 and other sources of funding we believe to be available, we estimate that we have sufficient cash resources to meet our anticipated net cash
needs through at least 2008.

16

Table of Contents
Any significant revenue shortfalls, increases in planned spending on development programs or more rapid progress of development programs than anticipated, as
well as the unavailability of anticipated sources of funding, could shorten this period. Progress or setbacks by potentially competing products may also affect our
ability to raise new funding on acceptable terms. As a result, we do not know when or whether:

•

•

•

•

operations will generate meaningful funds,

additional agreements for product development funding can be reached,

strategic alliances can be negotiated or

adequate additional financing will be available for us to finance our own development on acceptable terms, or at all.

Cash balances and operating cash flow are influenced primarily by the timing and level of payments by our licensees and development partners, as well as

by our operating costs.

Our level of leverage and debt service obligations could adversely affect our financial condition.

As of December 31, 2005, we (including our subsidiaries) had approximately $72.4 million of indebtedness outstanding. We may not be able to generate

cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on and other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness when due. We and our subsidiaries may also incur
additional debt that may be secured. In connection with our collaboration with Chiron, Chiron has extended a line of credit to us (through our United States
subsidiary) for $50.0 million to fund up to 75% of our expenses thereunder, of which $12.4 million was drawn as of December 31, 2005. This line of credit is
secured by a pledge of our interest in the collaboration.

Our level of debt and debt service obligations could have important effects on us and our investors. These effects may include:

•

•

•

•

•

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our convertible notes and our obligations to other persons with respect to our
other debt;

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing or renew existing financing at maturity on satisfactory terms to fund our working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt service requirements and other general corporate requirements;

increasing our vulnerability to general economic downturns, competition and industry conditions, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage
compared to our competitors that are less leveraged;

increasing our exposure to rising interest rates to the extent any of our borrowings are at variable interest rates;

reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and other general
corporate requirements because we will be required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow to service debt obligations; and

•

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate.

Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of refinancing debt. If we are unable to
service our debt and fund our business, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional debt financing or equity capital, restructure or
refinance our debt or sell assets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain additional financing, refinance existing debt or sell assets on satisfactory
terms or at all.

Table of Contents
Most of our therapeutic products have not received regulatory approval. If these products do not receive regulatory approval, neither our third party
collaborators nor we will be able to manufacture and market them.

Our products cannot be manufactured and marketed in the United States and other countries without required regulatory approvals. Only one of our

therapeutic products, RAPTIVA®, has received regulatory approval. The United States government and governments of other countries extensively regulate
many aspects of our products, including:

•

•

•

•

testing,

manufacturing,

promotion and marketing and

exporting.

In the United States, the FDA regulates pharmaceutical products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other laws, including, in the case of

biologics, the Public Health Service Act. At the present time, we believe that most of our products will be regulated by the FDA as biologics. The review of
therapeutic biologic products has been transferred within the FDA from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research to the Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, the body that reviews drug products. Because this transition may not be complete, we do not know when or how this change will affect us. Changes in
the regulatory approval policy during the development period, changes in, or the enactment of, additional regulations or statutes or changes in regulatory review
for each submitted product application may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. Even if the FDA or other regulatory agency approves a
product candidate, the approval may impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses, conditions for use, labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and/or
production of such product. Even for approved products such as RAPTIVA ®, the FDA may impose ongoing requirements for post−approval studies, including
additional research and development and clinical trials, and may subsequently withdraw approval based on these additional trials. The FDA and other agencies
also may impose various civil or criminal sanctions for failure to comply with regulatory requirements, including withdrawal of product approval. State
regulations may also affect our proposed products. The FDA has substantial discretion in both the product approval process and manufacturing facility approval
process and, as a result of this discretion and uncertainties about outcomes of testing, we cannot predict at what point, or whether, the FDA will be satisfied with
our or our collaborators’ submissions or whether the FDA will raise questions which may be material and delay or preclude product approval or manufacturing
facility approval. As we accumulate additional clinical data, we will submit it to the FDA, which may have a material impact on the FDA product approval
process.

We face uncertain results of clinical trials of our potential products.

Our potential products will require significant additional research and development, extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval

prior to any commercial sales. This process is lengthy and expensive, often taking a number of years. As clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying
interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals, the length of time necessary to complete clinical trials and to submit an application for
marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly. As a result, it is uncertain whether:

•

•

•

•

•

•

our future filings will be delayed,

our preclinical and clinical studies will be successful,

we will be successful in generating viable product candidates to targets,

we will be able to provide necessary additional data,

results of future clinical trials will justify further development or

we will ultimately achieve regulatory approval for any of these products.

of 2004, we announced the results of a Phase II trial with XMP.629 gel. The results were inconclusive in terms of clinical benefit of XMP.629
compared with vehicle gel.

Given that regulatory review is an interactive and continuous process, we maintain a policy of limiting announcements and comments upon the specific

details of regulatory review of our products, subject to our obligations under the securities laws, until definitive action is taken.

Because all of our products are still being developed, we have sustained losses in the past and we expect to sustain losses in the future.

We have experienced significant losses and, as of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $675.7 million.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as a result of the restructuring of our Genentech arrangement and subsequent extinguishment of our

obligation to pay $40.9 million under a development loan and related one−time credit to other income, we had net income of approximately $2.8 million or $0.03
per common share (basic and diluted). For the year ended December 31, 2004, we had a net loss of approximately $78.9 million, or $0.93 per common share
(basic and diluted). For the year ended December 31, 2003, we had a net loss of approximately $58.7 million, or $0.78 per common share (basic and diluted). We
expect to incur additional losses in the future.

Our ability to achieve profitability is dependent in large part on the success of our development programs, obtaining regulatory approval for our products

and entering into new agreements for product development, manufacturing and commercialization, all of which are uncertain. Our ability to fund our ongoing
operations is dependent on the foregoing factors and on our ability to secure additional funds. Because our products are still being developed, we do not know
whether we will ever achieve sustained profitability or whether cash flow from future operations will be sufficient to meet our needs.

Our agreements with third parties, many of which are significant to our business, expose us to numerous risks.

Our financial resources and our marketing experience and expertise are limited. Consequently, our ability to successfully develop products depends, to a

large extent, upon securing the financial resources and/or marketing capabilities of third parties.

In April of 1996, we entered into an agreement with Genentech whereby we agreed to co−develop Genentech’s humanized monoclonal antibody
product RAPTIVA
. In April of 1999, March of 2003, and January of 2005, the companies amended the agreement. In October of 2003, RAPTIVA
was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with chronic moderate−to−severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or
phototherapy and, in September of 2004, Serono announced the product’s approval in the European Union. In January of 2005, we entered into a

In November of 2001, we entered into a collaboration with Millennium to develop two of Millennium’s products for certain vascular inflammation
indications. In October of 2003, we announced that we had discontinued one of these products, MLN2201. In December of 2003, we announced the
initiation of Phase I testing on the other product, MLN2222.

In March of 2004, we announced we had agreed to collaborate with Chiron for the development and commercialization of antibody products for the
treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will jointly research, develop, and commercialize multiple antibody product
candidates. In April of 2005, we announced the initiation of clinical testing of the first product candidate out of the collaboration, CHIR−12.12, an
anti−CD40 antibody, in patients with advanced CLL. In October 2005, we announced the initiation of the second clinical trial of CHIR−12.12 in
patients with multiple myeloma.

In September of 2004, we entered into a collaboration with Aphton for the treatment of gastrointestinal and other gastrin−sensitive cancers using
anti−gastrin monoclonal antibodies.

In October of 2004, we announced the licensing of our ING−1 product to Triton for use with their TNT

 System.

In March of 2005, we entered into a contract with the NIAID, a part of the National Institutes of Health, to produce three botulinum neurotoxin
monoclonal antibodies designed to protect United States citizens against the harmful effects of biological agents used in bioterrorism.

In June of 2005, we announced the formation of a collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets discovered by
Lexicon.

• We have licensed our bacterial cell expression technology, an enabling technology used to discover and screen, as well as develop and manufacture,

recombinant antibodies and other proteins for commercial purposes, to approximately 40 companies. As of December 31, 2005, we were aware of two
antibody products in late−stage clinical testing which are manufactured using our BCE technology: UCB’s CIMZIA

In September of 2005, we signed a letter agreement with Cubist to develop production processes and to manufacture a novel two−antibody biologic in
quantities sufficient to conduct Phase III clinical trials; financial terms were not disclosed.

Because our collaborators and licensees are independent third parties, they may be subject to different risks than we are and have significant discretion in

determining the efforts and resources they will apply. If these collaborators and licensees do not successfully develop and market these products, we may not
have the

20

Table of Contents
capabilities, resources or rights to do so on our own. We do not know whether our collaborators or licensees will successfully develop and market any of the
products that are or may become the subject of one of our collaboration or licensing arrangements. In particular, each of these arrangements provides for either
sharing of collaboration expenses, which means that not only we but our collaborators must have sufficient available funds for the collaborations to continue, or
funding solely by our collaborators or licensees. In addition, our collaboration with Chiron provides for funding by it in the form of a line of credit to us, and we
cannot be certain that Chiron will have the necessary funds available when we attempt to draw on the line of credit. Furthermore, our contract with NIAID
contains numerous standard terms and conditions provided for in the applicable federal acquisition regulations and customary in many government contracts.
Uncertainty exists as to whether we will be able to comply with these terms and conditions in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, given that this contract is our
first with NIAID or any other governmental agency, we are uncertain as to the extent of NIAID’s demands and the flexibility that will be granted to us in meeting
those demands. Lastly, neither CIMZIA™(CDP870) nor Lucentis™ has received marketing approval from the FDA or any foreign governmental agency, and
therefore we cannot assure you that either product will prove to be safe and effective, will be approved for marketing or will be successfully commercialized.

In October of 2005, Chiron announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novartis under which Novartis will acquire all of the

shares of Chiron that it does not currently own and that the merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2006. We do not know what effect, if any, this
transaction will have on our collaboration with Chiron.

Even when we have a collaborative relationship, other circumstances may prevent it from resulting in successful development of marketable products.

In January of 2001, we entered into a strategic process development and manufacturing alliance with Onyx to scale−up production to commercial
volume of one of Onyx’s cancer products. In June of 2003, Onyx notified us that it was discontinuing development of the product and terminating the
agreement so that it could focus on another of its anticancer compounds.

In December of 2003, we agreed to collaborate with Alexion for the development and commercialization of an antibody to treat
chemotherapy−induced thrombocytopenia. The TPO mimetic antibody was designed to mimic the activity of human thrombopoietin, a naturally
occurring protein responsible for platelet production. In November of 2004, in conjunction with Alexion, we determined that the lead molecule in our
TPO mimetic collaboration did not meet the criteria established in the program for continued development. In the first quarter of 2005, the companies
determined not to continue with this development program and in the second quarter of 2005, the collaboration was terminated.

In November of 2004, we announced the licensing of our BPI product platform, including our NEUPREX

Although we continue to evaluate additional strategic alliances and potential partnerships, we do not know whether or when any such alliances or

partnerships will be entered into.

Certain of our technologies are relatively new and are in−licensed from third parties, so our capabilities using them are unproven and subject to
additional risks.

We license technologies from third parties. These technologies include but are not limited to phage display technologies licensed to us in connection with
our BCE technology licensing program. However, our experience with some of these technologies remains relatively limited and, to varying degrees, we are still
dependent on the licensing parties for training and technical support for these technologies. In addition, our use of these technologies is limited by certain
contractual provisions in the licenses relating to them and, although we have obtained numerous licenses, intellectual property rights in the area of phage display
are particularly complex. If

21

Table of Contents
the owners of the patent rights underlying the technologies we license do not properly maintain or enforce those patents, our competitive position and business
prospects could be harmed. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our
licensors may not successfully prosecute the patent applications to which we have licenses, or our licensors may fail to maintain existing patents. They may
determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing these patents, or they may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would.
Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license, which could cause us to lose the right to use the licensed intellectual property and adversely affect our
ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services.

Our share price may be volatile and there may not be an active trading market for our common shares.

There can be no assurance that the market price of our common shares will not decline below its present market price or that there will be an active trading

market for our common shares. The market prices of biotechnology companies have been and are likely to continue to be highly volatile. Fluctuations in our
operating results and general market conditions for biotechnology stocks could have a significant impact on the volatility of our common share price. We have
experienced significant volatility in the price of our common shares. From January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, our share price has ranged from a high
of $2.74 to a low of $0.98. On March 3, 2006, the closing price of the common shares as reported on the Nasdaq National Market was $1.81 per share. Factors
contributing to such volatility include, but are not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

sales and estimated or forecasted sales of products,

results of preclinical studies and clinical trials,

information relating to the safety or efficacy of products,

developments regarding regulatory filings,

announcements of new collaborations,

failure to enter into collaborations,

developments in existing collaborations,

our funding requirements and the terms of our financing arrangements,

technological innovations or new indications for our therapeutic products,

introduction of new products or technologies by us or our competitors,

government regulations,

developments in patent or other proprietary rights,

the number of shares issued and outstanding,

the number of shares trading on an average trading day,

announcements regarding other participants in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and

•

market speculation regarding any of the foregoing.

We or our third party collaborators or licensees may not have adequate manufacturing capacity sufficient to meet market demand.

Genentech is responsible for manufacturing or arranging for the manufacturing of commercial quantities of RAPTIVA ®. Should Genentech have difficulty
in providing manufacturing capacity to produce RAPTIVA ® in sufficient quantities, we do not know whether they will be able to meet market demand. If not, we
will not realize revenues from the sales of RAPTIVA ® or other products. If any of our other products are approved, because we have never commercially
introduced any pharmaceutical products, we do not know whether the capacity of our existing manufacturing facilities can be increased to produce sufficient
quantities of our products to meet market

22

Table of Contents
demand. Also, if we or our third party collaborators or licensees need additional manufacturing facilities to meet market demand, we cannot predict that we will
successfully obtain those facilities because we do not know whether they will be available on acceptable terms. In addition, any manufacturing facilities acquired
or used to meet market demand must meet the FDA’s quality assurance guidelines.

We do not know whether there will be a viable market for RAPTIVA ® or our other products.

Even though Genentech and we received approval in the United States in October of 2003 to market RAPTIVA ® and in the European Union in 2004 and

even if we receive regulatory approval for our other products, our products may not be accepted in the marketplace. In addition, we may experience difficulties in
launching new products, many of which are novel and based on technologies that are unfamiliar to the healthcare community. We have no assurance that
healthcare providers and patients will accept such products, if developed. For example, physicians and/or patients may not accept a product for a particular
indication because it has been biologically derived (and not discovered and developed by more traditional means) or if no biologically derived products are
currently in widespread use in that indication. Similarly, physicians may not accept RAPTIVA ® if they believe other products to be more effective or are more
comfortable prescribing other products. Safety concerns may also arise in the course of on−going clinical trials or patient treatment as a result of adverse events
or reactions.

Furthermore, government agencies, as well as private organizations involved in healthcare, from time to time publish guidelines or recommendations to

healthcare providers and patients. Such guidelines or recommendations can be very influential and may adversely affect the usage of any products we may
develop directly (for example, by recommending a decreased dosage of a product in conjunction with a concomitant therapy or a government entity withdrawing
its recommendation to screen blood donations for certain viruses) or indirectly (for example, by recommending a competitive product over our product).
Consequently, we do not know if physicians or patients will adopt or use our products for their approved indications.

Products and technologies of other companies may render some or all of our products noncompetitive or obsolete.

Developments by others may render our products or technologies obsolete or uncompetitive. Technologies developed and utilized by the biotechnology

and pharmaceutical industries are continuously and substantially changing. Competition in the areas of genetically engineered DNA−based and antibody−based
technologies is intense and expected to increase in the future as a number of established biotechnology firms and large chemical and pharmaceutical companies
advance in these fields. Many of these competitors may be able to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to our own for many reasons,
including that they may have:

•

•

•

•

•

significantly greater financial resources,

larger research and development and marketing staffs,

larger production facilities,

entered into arrangements with, or acquired, biotechnology companies to enhance their capabilities or

extensive experience in preclinical testing and human clinical trials.

These factors may enable others to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to our own or those of our collaborators. In addition, a

significant amount of research in biotechnology is being carried out in universities and other non−profit research organizations. These entities are becoming
increasingly interested in the commercial value of their work and may become more aggressive in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements.
Furthermore, positive or negative developments in connection with a potentially competing product may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise additional
funding on acceptable terms. For example, if another product is perceived to have a competitive advantage, or another product’s failure is perceived to

23

Table of Contents
increase the likelihood that our product will fail, then investors may choose not to invest in us on terms we would accept or at all.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are aware that:

There are at least two drugs which may compete with MLN2222. TP10 is a complement inhibitor developed by AVANT for applications including the

limitation of complement−mediated damage following surgery on cardiopulmonary by−pass. AVANT has completed a Phase II study where the drug
demonstrated treatment benefits in males. Alexion and its partner Proctor & Gamble are developing pexelizumab, a monoclonal antibody. The companies
reported in November of 2005 that preliminary results in a Phase III trial of the drug did not achieve its primary endpoint in patients undergoing coronary artery
bypass graft surgery.

Currently, there are at least two companies developing topical peptide treatments for acne which may compete with XMP.629. Migenix Inc. and its partner

Cutanea Life Sciences, Inc. are developing MBI 594AN, a topical peptide that has completed two Phase II trials for the treatment of acne, and Helix Biomedix,
Inc. is developing several peptide compounds.

In collaboration with Chiron, we are co−developing the monoclonal antibody target CD40, and, at the current time, there are several CD40−related
programs under development, mostly focused on the development of CD40 ligand products. For example, SGN−40 is a humanized monoclonal antibody under
development by Seattle Genetics, Inc. which is targeting CD40 antigen. SGN−40 is currently in Phase I studies in multiple myeloma, non−Hodgkin’s lymphoma,
and in a Phase I/II study in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

It is possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same human protein as our NEUPREX ® product, and these products
may prove to be more effective than NEUPREX ®. It is also possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same therapeutic target
as our XMA005.2 product and these products may prove to be more effective than XMA005.2.

24

Table of Contents
Even if we or our third party collaborators or licensees bring products to market, we may be unable to effectively price our products or obtain adequate
reimbursement for sales of our products, which would prevent our products from becoming profitable.

If we or our third party collaborators or licensees succeed in bringing our product candidates to the market, they may not be considered cost−effective, and

reimbursement to the patient may not be available or may not be sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive basis. In both the United States and
elsewhere, sales of medical products and treatments are dependent, in part, on the availability of reimbursement to the patient from third−party payors, such as
government and private insurance plans. Third−party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for pharmaceutical products and services. Our
business is affected by the efforts of government and third−party payors to contain or reduce the cost of health care through various means. In the United States,
there have been and will continue to be a number of federal and state proposals to implement government controls on pricing. In addition, the emphasis on
managed care in the United States has increased and will continue to increase the pressure on the pricing of pharmaceutical products. We cannot predict whether
any legislative or regulatory proposals will be adopted or the effect these proposals or managed care efforts may have on our business.

If we and our partners are unable to protect our intellectual property, in particular our patent protection for our principal products and processes, and
prevent its use by third parties, our ability to compete in the market will be harmed, and we may not realize our profit potential.

We rely on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws to protect our proprietary technology and prevent

others from duplicating our products. However, these means may afford only limited protection and may not:

•

•

•

prevent our competitors from duplicating our products;

prevent our competitors from gaining access to our proprietary information and technology; or

permit us to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

Because of the length of time and the expense associated with bringing new products to the marketplace, we and our partners hold and are in the process of

applying for a number of patents in the United States and abroad to protect our products and important processes and also have obtained or have the right to
obtain exclusive licenses to certain patents and applications filed by others. However, the mere issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or its
enforceability. The United States federal courts or equivalent national courts or patent offices elsewhere may invalidate our patents or find them unenforceable.
In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights effectively or to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If our
intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, we may not be able to commercialize our technologies, products, or services, and our competitors could
commercialize our technologies, which could result in a decrease in our sales and market share that would harm our business and operating results. Specifically,
the patent position of biotechnology companies generally is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. The legal standards governing the
validity of biotechnology patents are in transition, and current defenses as to issued biotechnology patents may not be adequate in the future. Accordingly, there
is uncertainty as to:

•

•

•

whether any pending or future patent applications held by us will result in an issued patent, or that if patents are issued to us, that such patents will
provide meaningful protection against competitors or competitive technologies,

whether competitors will be able to design around our patents or develop and obtain patent protection for technologies, designs or methods that are
more effective than those covered by our patents and patent applications or

the extent to which our products could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may lead to costly litigation, result in the payment
of substantial damages or royalties, and/or prevent us from using technology that is essential to our products.

25

Table of Contents

We have established an extensive portfolio of patents and applications, both United States and foreign, related to our BPI−related products, including
novel compositions, their manufacture, formulation, assay and use. We have also established a portfolio of patents, both United States and foreign, related to our
BCE technology, including claims to novel promoter sequences, secretion signal sequences, compositions and methods for expression and secretion of
recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene products.

If certain patents issued to others are upheld or if certain patent applications filed by others issue and are upheld, we may require licenses from others in

order to develop and commercialize certain potential products incorporating our technology or we may become involved in litigation to determine the proprietary
rights of others. These licenses, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, and any such litigation may be costly and may have other adverse effects
on our business, such as inhibiting our ability to compete in the marketplace and absorbing significant management time.

Due to the uncertainties regarding biotechnology patents, we also have relied and will continue to rely upon trade secrets, know−how and continuing

technological advancement to develop and maintain our competitive position. All of our employees have signed confidentiality agreements under which they
have agreed not to use or disclose any of our proprietary information. Research and development contracts and relationships between us and our scientific
consultants and potential customers provide access to aspects of our know−how that are protected generally under confidentiality agreements. These
confidentiality agreements may be breached or may not be enforced by a court. To the extent proprietary information is divulged to competitors or to the public
generally, such disclosure may adversely affect our ability to develop or commercialize our products by giving others a competitive advantage or by undermining
our patent position.

Litigation regarding intellectual property can be costly and expose us to risks of counterclaims against us.

We may be required to engage in litigation or other proceedings to protect our intellectual property. The cost to us of this litigation, even if resolved in our
favor, could be substantial. Such litigation could also divert management’s attention and resources. In addition, if this litigation is resolved against us, our patents
may be declared invalid, and we could be held liable for significant damages. In addition, we may be subject to a claim that we are infringing another party’s
patent. If such claim is resolved against us, we or our collaborators may be enjoined from developing, manufacturing, selling or importing products, processes or
services unless we obtain a license from the other party. Such license may not be available on reasonable terms, thus preventing us from using these products,
processes or services and adversely affecting our revenue.

Manufacturing risks and inefficiencies may adversely affect our ability to manufacture products for ourselves or others.

We are subject to manufacturing risks which may hinder our ability to provide manufacturing services for our own benefit or to third parties. Additionally,

unanticipated fluctuations in customer requirements may lead to manufacturing inefficiencies. We must provide our manufacturing services in compliance with
regulatory requirements, in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis, while maintaining acceptable product quality and manufacturing costs. Additional
resources and changes in our manufacturing processes may required for each new product or customer or to meet increasing customer requirements once a
contract has been initiated, and this work may not be successfully or efficiently completed.

In addition, the development work and products addressed in new contracts may not share production attributes with our existing projects to the extent we

anticipate, and consequently these new contracts may require the development of new manufacturing technologies and expertise. If we are unable to develop
manufacturing capabilities as needed, on acceptable terms, our ability to complete these contracts or enter into additional contracts may be adversely affected.

Manufacturing and quality problems may arise in the future as we continue to perform these services for our own benefit and under additional

manufacturing contracts. Consequently, our internal development goals or

26

Table of Contents
milestones under our contracts may not be achieved in a timely manner or at a commercially reasonable cost, or at all. In addition, we continue to make
investments to improve our manufacturing processes and to design, develop and purchase manufacturing equipment that may not yield the improvements that we
expect. Inefficiencies or constraints related to our manufacturing may adversely affect our overall financial results. Such inefficiencies or constraints may also
result in delays or loss of current or potential customers due to their dissatisfaction.

The financial terms of future collaborative or licensing arrangements could result in dilution of our share value.

Funding from collaboration partners and others has in the past and may in the future involve issuance by us of our shares. Because we do not currently
have any such arrangements, we cannot be certain how the purchase price of such shares, the relevant market price or premium, if any, will be determined or
when such determinations will be made. Any such issuance could result in dilution in the value of our issued and outstanding shares.

Because many of the companies we do business with are also in the biotechnology sector, the volatility of that sector can affect us indirectly as well as
directly.

As a biotechnology company that collaborates with other biotech companies, the same factors that affect us directly can also adversely impact us indirectly

by affecting the ability of our collaborators, partners and others we do business with to meet their obligations to us and reduce our ability to realize the value of
the consideration provided to us by these other companies.

For example, in connection with our licensing transactions relating to our BCE technology, we have in the past and may in the future agree to accept
equity securities of the licensee in payment of license fees. The future value of these or any other shares we receive is subject both to market risks affecting our
ability to realize the value of these shares and more generally to the business and other risks to which the issuer of these shares may be subject.

As we do more business internationally, we will be subject to additional political, economic and regulatory uncertainties.

We may not be able to successfully operate in any foreign market. We believe that, because the pharmaceutical industry is global in nature, international

activities will be a significant part of our future business activities and that, when and if we are able to generate income, a substantial portion of that income will
be derived from product sales and other activities outside the United States. Foreign regulatory agencies often establish standards different from those in the
United States, and an inability to obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis could put us at a competitive disadvantage or make it uneconomical to
proceed with a product’s development. International operations and sales may be limited or disrupted by:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

imposition of government controls,

export license requirements,

political or economic instability,

trade restrictions,

changes in tariffs,

restrictions on repatriating profits,

exchange rate fluctuations,

withholding and other taxation and

difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.

Because we are a relatively small biopharmaceutical company with limited resources, we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel, and
the loss of key personnel could delay or prevent achieving our objectives.

Our success in developing marketable products and achieving a competitive position will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified
scientific and management personnel, particularly in areas requiring specific technical, scientific or medical expertise. There is intense competition for such
personnel. Our research, product development and business efforts could be adversely affected by the loss of one or more key members of our scientific or
management staff, particularly our executive officers: John L. Castello, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer; Patrick J. Scannon,
M.D., Ph.D., our Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific and Medical Officer; J. David Boyle II, our Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer; and
Christopher J. Margolin, our Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. We currently have no key person insurance on any of our employees.

We had approximately 218 employees as of December 31, 2005, and we anticipate that we will require additional experienced executive, accounting,

research and development, legal, administrative and other personnel in the future. There is intense competition for the services of these personnel, especially in
California. Moreover, we expect that the high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where our headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located, may
impair our ability to attract and retain employees in the future. If we do not succeed in attracting new personnel and retaining and motivating existing personnel,
our operations may suffer and we may be unable to implement our current initiatives or grow effectively.

Calamities, power shortages or power interruptions at our Berkeley headquarters and manufacturing facility could disrupt our business and adversely
affect our operations, and could disrupt the businesses of our customers.

Our principal operations are located in Northern California, including our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in Berkeley, California. In
addition, many of our collaborators and licensees are located in California. All of these locations are in areas of seismic activity near active earthquake faults.
Any earthquake, terrorist attack, fire, power shortage or other calamity affecting our facilities or our customers’ facilities may disrupt our business and could
have material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are exposed to an increased risk of product liability claims.

The testing, marketing and sales of medical products entails an inherent risk of allegations of product liability. In the event of one or more large,
unforeseen awards of damages against us, our product liability insurance may not provide adequate coverage. A significant product liability claim for which we
were not covered by insurance would have to be paid from cash or other assets. To the extent we have sufficient insurance coverage, such a claim would result in
higher subsequent insurance rates. In addition, product liability claims can have various other ramifications including loss of future sales opportunities, increased
costs associated with replacing products, and a negative impact on our goodwill and reputation, which could also adversely affect our business and operating
results.

We may be subject to increased risks because we are a Bermuda company.

Alleged abuses by certain companies that have changed their legal domicile from jurisdictions within the United States to Bermuda have created an
environment where, notwithstanding that we changed our legal domicile in a transaction that was approved by our shareholders and fully taxable to our company
under United States law, we may be exposed to various prejudicial actions, including:

•

•

•

“blacklisting” of our common shares by certain pension funds;

legislation restricting certain types of transactions; and

punitive tax legislation.

28

Table of Contents

We do not know whether any of these things will happen, but if implemented one or more of them may have an adverse impact on our future operations or

our share price.

If you were to obtain a judgment against us, it may be difficult to enforce against us because we are a foreign entity.

We are a Bermuda company. All or a substantial portion of our assets, including substantially all of our intellectual property, may be located outside the
United States. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders and others to enforce in United States courts judgments obtained against us. We have irrevocably
agreed that we may be served with process with respect to actions based on offers and sales of securities made hereby in the United States by serving Christopher
J. Margolin, c/o XOMA Ltd., 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, California 94710, our United States agent appointed for that purpose. Uncertainty exists as to
whether Bermuda courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against us or our directors and officers that are predicated upon the
civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws or entertain original actions brought in Bermuda against us or such persons predicated upon the
United States securities laws. There is no treaty in effect between the United States and Bermuda providing for such enforcement, and there are grounds upon
which Bermuda courts may not enforce judgments of United States courts. Certain remedies available under the United States federal securities laws may not be
allowed in Bermuda courts as contrary to that nation’s policy.

Our shareholder rights agreement or bye−laws may prevent transactions that could be beneficial to our shareholders and may insulate our
management from removal.

In February of 2003, we adopted a new shareholder rights agreement (to replace the shareholder rights agreement that had expired), which could make it

considerably more difficult or costly for a person or group to acquire control of us in a transaction that our board of directors opposes.

Our bye−laws:

•

•

•

require certain procedures to be followed and time periods to be met for any shareholder to propose matters to be considered at annual meetings of
shareholders, including nominating directors for election at those meetings;

authorize our board of directors to issue up to 1,000,000 preference shares without shareholder approval and to set the rights, preferences and other
designations, including voting rights, of those shares as the board of directors may determine; and

contain provisions, similar to those contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law that may make business combinations with interested
shareholders more difficult.

These provisions of our shareholders rights agreement and our bye−laws, alone or in combination with each other, may discourage transactions involving

actual or potential changes of control, including transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices to holders of
common shares, could limit the ability of shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests, and could make it considerably
more difficult for a potential acquirer to replace management.

We may issue additional equity securities and thereby materially and adversely affect the price of our common shares.

We are authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, 1,000,000 preference shares, of which 2,959 were issued and outstanding as of March 8, 2006,

which may give other shareholders dividend, conversion, voting, and liquidation rights, among other rights, which may be superior to the rights of holders of our
common shares. In addition, we are authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, up to 210,000,000 common shares, of which 89,836,850 were issued and
outstanding as of March 3, 2006. If we issue additional equity securities, the price of our common shares and, in turn, the price of our convertible notes may be
materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents
If the trading price of our common shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq National Market, we would face
possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our common shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more
difficult for us.

If we do not continue to comply with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq National Market, then Nasdaq may provide written notification

regarding the delisting of our securities. At that time, we would have the right to request a hearing to appeal The Nasdaq determination and would also have the
option to apply to transfer our securities to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

We cannot be sure that our price will comply with the requirements for continued listing of our common shares on The Nasdaq National Market, or that
any appeal of a decision to delist our common shares will be successful. If our common shares lose their status on The Nasdaq National Market and we are not
successful in obtaining a listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, our common shares would likely trade in the over−the−counter market.

If our common shares are neither listed for trading on a United States national or regional securities exchange nor approved for trading on The Nasdaq

National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or any other established United States system of automated dissemination or quotations of securities prices, it would
be deemed a “fundamental change” under the indenture governing our convertible notes, giving the holders thereof the right to require us to repurchase such
notes. Our failure to repurchase our convertible notes would constitute an event of default under the notes indenture, which might constitute an event of default
under the terms of our other debt.

If our shares were to trade on the over−the−counter market, selling our common shares could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would
likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our common shares are
delisted, broker−dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker−dealers from effecting transactions in our common
shares, further limiting the liquidity thereof. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for common shares.

Such delisting from The Nasdaq National Market or future declines in our share price could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary
capital through equity or debt financing, and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other
transactions. Consent under the Exchange Control Act 1972 (and its related regulations) has been obtained from the Bermuda Monetary Authority for the issue
and transfer of our shares, notes and other securities to and between non−residents of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, but this consent is conditional on
our shares remaining listed on an appointed stock exchange. We cannot assure you that the Bermuda Monetary Authority will give the same or a similar consent
in the event our common shares are no longer listed on The Nasdaq National Market or another appointed stock exchange. In the absence of such a general
consent, specific consents of the Bermuda Monetary Authority would be required for certain issues and transfers of our shares, notes and other securities.

Properties

Our development and manufacturing facilities are located in Berkeley and Emeryville, California. We lease approximately 113,000 square feet of space

including approximately 35,000 square feet of research and development laboratories, 48,000 square feet of production and production support facilities and
30,000 square feet of office space. A separate 17,000 square foot technology development and pilot facility is owned by us.

We produced rBPI21 in 2005, and have previously produced MLN2222, TPO mimetic antibody products, NEUPREX ®, RAPTIVA®, MLN2201 and

ING−1 for clinical trial and other testing needs at our Berkeley

manufacturing facilities, pursuant to a drug manufacturing license obtained from the State of California. We base our manufacturing capability on recombinant
DNA technology, which can produce therapeutic products from either mammalian or microbial cells. We have established three fermentation trains with a tank
size of 2,750 liters and two fermentation trains with a tank size of 500 liters, and associated isolation and purification systems. We perform our own formulation
and have the capacity to fill products for clinical use, although we also contract with third parties for final sterile filling and finishing.

Legal Proceedings

In April of 2005, a complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, in a lawsuit captioned Hanna v. Genentech, Inc. and XOMA (US)
LLC, No. 2005004386, by an alleged participant in one of the clinical trials of RAPTIVA ®. The lawsuit was thereafter removed to the United States District
Court, Northern District of Illinois, No. 05C 3251. The complaint asserts claims for alleged strict product liability and negligence against Genentech and us based
on injuries alleged to have occurred as a result of plaintiff’s treatment in the clinical trials. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages alleged to be
in excess of $100,000. Although we have not yet fully assessed the merits of this lawsuit, we intend to vigorously investigate and pursue available defenses. We
do not believe that this matter, or the resolution of this matter, will have a material impact upon our future consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On March 3, 2006, there were approximately 2,837 shareholders of record of our common shares, one of which is Cede & Co., a nominee for Depository

Trust Company (“DTC”). All of the common shares held by brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions as nominees for beneficial owners are
deposited into participant accounts at DTC and are therefore considered to be held of record by Cede & Co. as one shareholder.

We have not paid dividends on our common shares. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in the development and expansion of our business.

We, therefore, do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
“Share Capital”).

In the first quarter of 2004, we announced the amendment of certain terms of the November 2001 investment agreement with Millennium. The key
elements of the revised investment agreement included an extension of the maturity date of the $5.0 million outstanding convertible debt to April 15, 2004, (or
the third business day after the date the related registration statement is declared effective, if later) and a re−scheduling of our decision points regarding whether
to sell the remaining $14.7 million worth of common shares to four option dates through March of 2005, at each of which we may issue up to $3,675,000 worth
of common shares. In July of 2004, we exercised an option to sell 920,284 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $3.7 million or $3.99 per share In
November of 2003, we exercised an option to sell 763,719 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $5.4 million or $7.07 per share. In June of 2003, we
exercised an option to sell 608,766 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $4.0 million or $6.57 per share. In December of 2002, we issued 1,443,418 shares
to Millennium for gross proceeds of $7.5 million or $5.20 per share. These sales of common shares to Millennium were exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. In October of 2004, the investment agreement with Millennium was terminated and there will be no further
issuance of common shares to Millennium under this agreement.

In September of 2003, we sold 9,000,000 common shares at a price of $8.00 per share in an underwritten public offering. We received approximately
$67.2 million of net proceeds during the third quarter of 2003. In October of 2003, the underwriters for the public offering exercised their option to purchase
1,350,000 common shares at $8.00 per share to cover over−allotments. We received $10.2 million in additional net cash proceeds. The proceeds were used for
general corporate purposes.

In December of 2003, we issued 2,959 of Series B preferred shares to Genentech in repayment of the $29.6 million outstanding balance under the

convertible subordinated debt agreement. These shares are convertible into approximately 3.8 million common shares, which represents a price of $7.75 per
share.

In February of 2005, we issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due in 2012, the proceeds of which are being used for general corporate

purposes, including current research and development projects, the development of new products or technologies, equipment acquisitions, general working
capital purposes and operating expenses. The notes were initially convertible into approximately 32 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of
our common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share. Before
February 6, 2008, we could not have redeemed the notes. On or after February 6, 2008, we could have redeemed any or all of the notes at 100% of the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if our common shares traded at 150% of the conversion price then in effect for 20 trading days in a 30 consecutive
trading day period. Holders of the notes could have required us to repurchase some or all of the notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest following a fundamental change. In addition, following certain fundamental changes, we would have
increased the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, we could have, in certain circumstances, elected to adjust the
conversion rate and related conversion obligation so that the notes would have been convertible into shares of the acquiring, continuing or surviving company.
The convertible senior notes were issued, to the initial purchasers, for net proceeds of $56.6 million. The issuance costs of approximately $3.4 million are being
amortized on a straight−line basis over the 84 month life of the notes.

In February of 2006, we exchanged all of these convertible senior notes for $60.0 million of 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM due 2012 and issued an additional

$12.0 million of 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 to the public for cash. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations—Subsequent Events.”

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and manufactures antibodies and other genetically−engineered protein products to treat

immunological and inflammatory disorders, cancer and infectious diseases.

In the near term, our ability to achieve profitability will be highly dependent on sales levels of RAPTIVA ®, which we have been developing under a
collaboration agreement with Genentech. Genentech is responsible for the manufacturing, marketing and sales effort in support of this product and we are
entitled to receive royalties on worldwide sales. RAPTIVA ® has been approved in the United States and the European Union for treating patients suffering from
moderate−to−severe plaque psoriasis and is being tested as a treatment for additional indications. Our near−term profits will also be influenced by our ability to
generate revenues or benefit from cost−sharing arrangements, from research and development of manufacturing processes or from other development

35

Table of Contents
activities. We are developing a number of products, both proprietary and under collaboration agreements with other companies and may enter into additional
arrangements. Our objective in development collaborations is to leverage our existing development infrastructure to broaden and strengthen our new product
pipeline beyond what we can accomplish with proprietary products, thereby diversifying our development risk and gaining financial support from our
collaboration partners.

We incurred a net loss in two of the past three years and expect to continue to operate at a loss until sufficient profits are generated from RAPTIVA ® and

various manufacturing and development arrangements, or until we achieve additional regulatory approvals and commence commercial sales of additional
products. The timing and likelihood of additional approvals is uncertain and there can be no assurance that approvals will be granted or that revenues from
product sales will be sufficient to attain profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and

the related disclosures, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. On an on−going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to terms of research collaborations, investments, stock
compensation, impairment issues and the estimated useful life of assets and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following policies to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations because they require us to

make estimates, assumptions and judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery

has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and
(4) is based on management’s judgments regarding the nature of the fee charged for products or services delivered and the collectibility of those fees.

We recognize revenue from license and collaboration arrangements, contract services, product sales and royalties. Our revenue arrangements with multiple

elements are divided into separate units of accounting, if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand−alone value to the customer
and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The consideration we receive is allocated among the separate units
based on their respective fair values and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. Advance payments received in
excess of amounts earned are classified as deferred revenue until earned.

License and Collaborative Fees

Revenue from non−refundable license or technology access payments under license and collaborative agreements where we have a continuing obligation

to perform is recognized as revenue over the period of the continuing performance obligation.

36

Table of Contents

Milestone payments under collaborative arrangements are recognized as revenue upon completion of the milestone events, which represent the culmination

of the earnings process because we have no future performance obligations related to the payment. Milestone payments that require a continuing performance
obligation on our part are recognized over the period of the continuing performance obligation. Amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue
until the related milestone is completed. Allowances are established for estimated uncollectible amounts, if any.

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue for research and development involves our providing research and development for manufacturing processes to collaborative partners or

others. We recognize revenue under these arrangements as the related research and development costs are incurred and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues for certain contracts are accounted for on a percentage−of−completion method where completion is measured by progress towards established contract
deliverables and milestones.

Royalty Revenue

Royalty revenue and royalty receivables are generally recorded in the periods these royalties are earned, in advance of collection. The royalty revenue and

receivables in these instances are based upon communication with collaborative partners, historical information and forecasted sales trends. Under some of our
agreements with licensees that include receipt of royalty revenue, we do not have sufficient historical information to estimate royalty revenues or receivables in
the period that these royalties are earned. For these contracts, we record royalty revenue upon cash receipt.

Research and Development Expenses

We expense research and development expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of direct and research−related allocated overhead

costs such as facilities costs, salaries and related personnel costs, patent costs and material and supply costs. In addition, research and development expenses
include costs related to clinical trials to validate our testing processes and procedures and related overhead expenses. Under cost sharing arrangements with
collaborative partners, differences between our actual research and development spending and our share of such spending under the collaboration agreement will
also be included as a cost sharing adjustment in our research and development expense. Expenses resulting from clinical trials are recorded when incurred based
in part on estimates as to the status of the various trials. From time to time, research and development expenses may include upfront fees and milestones paid to
collaborative partners for the purchase of rights to in−process research and development. Such amounts are expensed as incurred. The timing of upfront fees and
milestone payments in the future may cause variability in our future research and development expenses.

Long−Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long−Lived

Assets” which superseded FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long−Lived Assets and for Long−Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” we
record impairment losses on long−lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

License and collaborative fees revenues in 2005 were $5.1 million, compared to $3.6 million in 2004 and $18.9 million in 2003. These revenues include

upfront and milestone payments related to the outlicensing of our products and technologies and other collaborative arrangements. The increase of $1.5 million in
2005 as compared with 2004 resulted primarily from an outlicensing agreement with Merck & Co. (“Merck”). The decrease from 2003 to 2004 reflects a $10.0
million fee received from Baxter in 2003 as a result of the termination of agreements between the companies related to the licensing and development of our
NEUPREX® product, as well as license fees from several bacterial cell expression technology license arrangements.

Contract and other revenues were $7.4 million in 2005, as compared with $0 in 2004 and $5.4 million and 2003. Contract and other revenue in 2005
includes primarily fees from our service arrangements with NIAID, Genentech and Chiron. 2003 revenues related primarily to service arrangements with Baxter
and Onyx. The Baxter agreement was terminated during the third quarter of 2003 and the Onyx agreement was effectively terminated in the fourth quarter of
2003. Baxter and Onyx represented 50% and 20%, respectively, of our total revenues for 2003.

Certain of our license and contract agreements involve continuing performance obligations for services and, in these cases, the related payments received

are recorded as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue over the period of continuing performance obligation. In addition, certain of our contract
agreements have retainage provisions whereby a certain percentage of revenue is to be held back until completion of all performance obligations under the
agreement. In 2005, the addition of $1.5 million in deferred revenue represents both revenues related to future performance obligations and revenue retained until
completion of all performance obligations under the NIAID agreement. In 2004, this included $10.0 million in upfront payments received from Chiron related to
a collaboration agreement in oncology, which was initiated in February of 2004, and is being recognized as revenue over the five year expected term of the
agreement. Deferred revenue recognized in 2003 related primarily to upfront payments received in prior years from Baxter and Onyx. The following table
illustrates the activity in deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

The $7.9 million balance in deferred revenue at December 31, 2005, is expected to be recognized as revenue largely over the next three years. Future

amounts may also be impacted by additional consideration received, if any, under existing or any future licensing or other collaborative arrangements.

Revenues from royalties were $6.2 million in 2005, as compared with $0.1 million in 2004 and $0.1 million in 2003. The increase in royalty revenues in

2005 over 2004 and 2003 is due primarily to our royalty arrangement with Genentech on sales of the RAPTIVA ® product.

Revenues for 2006 are expected to continue to increase as a result of royalties generated by worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ®, the establishment of new

manufacturing service arrangements and license fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Generally speaking, biopharmaceutical development includes a series of steps, including in vitro and in vivo preclinical testing, and Phase I, II and III
clinical studies in humans. Each of these steps is typically more expensive than the previous step, but actual timing and the cost to us depends on the product
being tested, the nature of the potential disease indication and the terms of any collaborative arrangements with other companies. After successful conclusion of
all of these steps, regulatory filings for approval to market the products must be completed, including approval of manufacturing processes and facilities for the
product. Our research and development expenses currently include costs of personnel, supplies, facilities and equipment, consultants, patent expenses and third
party costs related to preclinical and clinical testing.

In 2005, our research and development expenses were $39.9 million, compared with $49.8 million in 2004 and $61.1 million in 2003. The $9.9 million

decrease in 2005 compared with 2004 primarily reflects reduced spending on MLN2222 due to the discontinuation of the Millennium collaboration announced in
October 2004, reduced spending on TPO Mimetic due to the termination of the Alexion collaboration in the second quarter of 2005, reduced spending on
RAPTIVA® following the restructuring of our collaboration arrangement with Genentech in January 2005, as well as reduced spending on XMP.629 and other
proprietary new product developments through the year. These reductions were partially offset by increased spending on our collaboration agreements with
Chiron, Aphton and Lexicon, our research and development work for NIAID, and our internal development of XMA005.2.

During 2005, we completed an annual review of leasehold improvements. Based on our review, we decided to abandon our plan to add a fermentation unit

to our existing research and development facility. As certain leasehold improvements related to this project no longer prolonged the life of the related building
nor enhanced its functional use, we expensed approximately $0.6 million to depreciation expense for research and development in December 2005.

In addition, as a result of water damage in our research and development facilities, we received $0.1 million in insurance proceeds in 2005. The damaged

facilities were subsequently remediated and these proceeds were recorded as an offset to repairs and maintenance within research and development.

Our research and development activities can be divided into earlier stage programs, which include molecular biology, process development, pilot−scale

production and preclinical testing, and later stage programs, which include clinical testing, regulatory affairs and manufacturing clinical supplies. Using the
current costing methods, the costs associated with these programs approximate the following (in thousands):

In 2005, one development program (Chiron) accounted for more than 30% but less than 40% and no development program accounted for more than 40%
of our total research and development expenses. In 2004, two development programs (XMP.629 and MLN2222) each individually accounted for more than 10%
but less than 20% and no development program accounted for more than 20% of our total research and development expenses. In 2003, one development
program (MLN2222) accounted for more than 10% but less than 20%, one development program (RAPTIVA ®) accounted for more than 20% but less than 30%
and no development program accounted for more than 30% of our total research and development expenses.

We currently anticipate that research and development expenses in 2006 will increase as compared with 2005. We expect our spending on our oncology

collaboration with Chiron, including CHIR12.12, our anti−gastrin antibody program with Aphton to continue, as well as increases in spending on our
collaboration with Lexicon, our contract with NIAID, development of XMA005.2 and other new projects. Future research and development spending may also
be impacted by potential new licensing or collaboration arrangements, as well as the termination of existing agreements. Beyond this, the scope and magnitude of
future research and development expenses are difficult to predict at this time.

General and Administrative Expenses

In 2005, general and administrative expenses were $14.8 million compared with $15.6 million in 2004 and $13.4 million in 2003. The decrease of $0.8

million in 2005 compared with 2004 resulted from lower accounting fees related to the first year implementation of Sarbanes−Oxley in 2004, offset by increased
accounting fees related to our two recent debt offerings, one of which was completed in 2005 and the other in 2006. The increase of $2.2 million in 2004
compared with 2003 resulted from higher business development expenses and costs associated with implementing procedures and staffing necessary to meet the
requirements of the Sarbanes−Oxley Act of 2002. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase in 2006 due to costs associated with the
debt exchange and debt offering as well as costs related to increased business development activities.

Collaborative Arrangement Expenses

Collaborative arrangement expenses, which related exclusively to RAPTIVA ®, were zero in 2005. In 2004, collaborative arrangement expenses, which

related exclusively to RAPTIVA® (see Note 1) were $16.4 million compared with $7.5 million in 2003. The amounts in 2004 and 2003 reflected our 25% share
of commercialization costs for RAPTIVA® in excess of Genentech’s revenues less cost of goods sold, research and development cost sharing adjustments and
royalties on sales outside the United States. Because of the restructuring of our arrangement with Genentech, which was effective January 1, 2005, we are no
longer responsible for a share of operating costs or research and development expenses, but rather we are entitled to receive royalties on RAPTIVA ®’s worldwide
sales. Genentech is responsible for all development costs and, to the extent that we provide further clinical trial support or other development services for
RAPTIVA®, we will be compensated by Genentech. The collaborative arrangement expenses are as follow (in thousands):

In addition to the amounts shown in the above table, we incurred research and development expenses on RAPTIVA ® of $1.0 million, $3.9 million and

Investment and Interest Income

In 2005, investment and other income was $1.9 million compared with $0.5 million in 2004 and $0.5 million in 2003. The increase in 2005 compared with

2004 resulted from higher average cash balances due to the $60 million raised in a debt financing at the beginning of 2005, as well as higher interest rates and
realized gains on sale of equity investments during the year. Investment income was unchanged from 2003 to 2004. Interest income is expected to decrease in
2006 due to lower cash investment balances.

We review our investments for other−than−temporary impairment whenever the value of the investment is less than the amortized cost. As of

December 31, 2005, 19 investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $15.4 million, had aggregate unrealized losses of $69,000, compared with no
investments with unrealized losses in 2004. The unrealized losses were recorded in other comprehensive income. All such investments have been or were in an
unrealized loss position for less than six months and have holding periods less than twelve months. We have not previously sold similar investments at a loss, and
we currently have the financial ability to hold short−term investments with an unrealized loss until maturity and not incur any recognized losses. As a result, we
do not believe any unrealized losses represent an other−than−temporary impairment and thus have not recognized the temporary losses as realized.

Interest Expense

In 2005, interest expense was $4.3 million compared with $1.2 million in 2004 and $1.9 million in 2003. Interest expense for 2005 consisted primarily of
interest incurred on our $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% convertible senior notes issued in February of 2005, a $12.4 million drawdown on our
Chiron loan facility in 2005, as well as $0.5 million in amortized debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs of approximately $3.4 million, related to the issuance
of the $60 million of convertible senior notes, are being amortized on a straight−line basis over the 84 month life of the notes, which is the same as the “effective
interest rate method” under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 21, “Interest on Receivables and Payables” (“APB 21”). Interest expense for 2004 and
2003 consisted primarily of interest on the convertible notes due to Genentech and Millennium. The decrease in 2004 compared with 2003 resulted from lower
interest rates and partial repayment of the notes. Interest expense is expected to increase in 2006 due to higher debt balances related to the recently completed
exchange offer and debt offering, higher outstanding balance on the Chiron loan facility and amortization of debt issuance costs in 2006. See “Subsequent
Events” below for details of the February financing.

Other Income (Expense)

In 2005, other income (expense) was $41.2 million compared with $(0.1) million in 2004 and $0.3 million in 2003. The 2005 income amount primarily
reflects a one−time gain of $40.9 million as a result of the restructuring of the Genentech agreement in January 2005, as well as proceeds of $250,000 from the
sale of our issued patents and patent applications related to gelonin and gelonin fusion technology to Research Development Foundation (“RDF”) in June of 2005
offset by losses on the write−off of property and equipment. The 2004 expense reflected a loss on the write−off of property and equipment. The 2003 income
amount resulted from gains on sales of investments. Other income is expected to decrease in 2006, as the release of our obligation to repay the $40.9 million
development loan to Genentech in 2005 is a one−time event.

Income Taxes

We have recorded cumulative net deferred tax assets of $157.4 million and $173.2 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, principally

attributable to the timing of the deduction of certain expenses associated with certain research and development expenses, net operating loss and other
carryforwards. We also recorded corresponding valuation allowances of $157.4 million and $173.2 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004,

41

Table of Contents
respectively, to offset these deferred tax assets, as management cannot predict with reasonable certainty that the deferred tax assets to which the valuation
allowance relates will be realized.

As of December 31, 2005, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $191.4 million to offset future taxable income. We also had
federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $12.8 million. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2005. The
availability of our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial limitation if it is determined that our ownership has changed by
more than 50% over a three year period.

In 2005, income tax expense was $3,000 compared with zero in 2004, the expense in 2005 is related to activities of our foreign operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short−term investments at December 31, 2005, was $43.5 million compared with $24.3 million at December 31, 2004. This
$19.2 million increase primarily reflects net proceeds from our convertible debt financing of $56.4 million and the drawdown on our Chiron loan facility of $12.4
million, offset by cash used in operations of $44.2 million, cash used in capital investing activities of $4.8 million, cash used in other financing activities of $0.4
million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $44.2 million in 2005 compared with $44.8 million in 2004 and $47.8 million in 2003. The decrease in net cash
used in 2005 compared with 2004, resulted from the decrease in net loss prior to the inclusion of non−cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $40.9 million due
to the restructuring the Genentech agreement which helped generate net income for the year of $2.8 million. Cash used in operating activities was also reduced
by an increase in cash flows from accounts payable of $6.9 million, an increase in cash flows of $1.1 million on accrued interest on convertible notes and other
interest bearing obligations, which were partially offset by a decrease in cash flows from accrued liabilities of $26.6 million related to amounts owed on our
collaborations, a decrease in cash flows from deferred revenue of $8.7 million primarily from the $10 million received from Chiron in 2004 related to the
initiation of our exclusive collaboration agreement in oncology in February of 2004, and a $14.1 million decrease in cash flows from outstanding receivables
primarily relating to the receipt of $10.0 million in receivables from Baxter related to the termination of our agreements in 2004 and an increase of $4.3 million
in receivables in 2005 primarily due to our Genentech and NIAID arrangements. The decrease in 2004 compared with 2003 reflected a higher net loss that was
offset by $10.0 million received in January of 2004 from Baxter, $8.3 million in deferred revenue remaining from the $10.0 million received from Chiron in 2004
and a $14.1 million increase in cash flows from accrued liabilities primarily related to amounts owed on our collaborations with Genentech and Chiron which
were partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in cash flows from accounts payable and a $7.4 million decrease in cash flows from additions to notes to a
collaborative partner for cost allocations.

Net cash used in investing activities for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $27.4 million, $2.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. This included net purchases of

short−term investments of $22.5 million, $0 and $1.8 for 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively, and capital expenditures of $4.8 million, $2.6 million and $2.7
million for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Capital spending in 2006 is expected to increase due to investments in research and development and
manufacturing facilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $68.6, $(13.5) million and $97.3 million, respectively. Financing activities in 2005

consisted of an issuance of convertible senior notes for net proceeds of $56.4 million, drawdowns on our Chiron loan facility of $12.4 million and $0.2 million in
proceeds from the issuance of common shares, partially offset by capital lease payments of $0.2 million and payments of short−term notes of $0.1 million.
Financing activities in 2004 consisted of a $13.2 million payment to retire our short−term loan obligation to Genentech, a $5.0 million payment of our
convertible debt to Millennium, $0.6 million for principal payments on capital lease obligations and $0.4 million for principal payments on a short−

42

Table of Contents
term loan partially offset by $1.4 million in proceeds from the sale of common shares through share option exercises and the employee share purchase plan, $0.5
million proceeds from a short−term note and $3.7 million in proceeds from common shares sold under our investment agreement with Millennium. Financing
activities for 2003 consisted of a $10.8 million net funding from Genentech under our development agreement, $77.1 million in net proceeds from common
shares sold under a public offering, $9.4 million in proceeds from common shares sold under our investment agreement with Millennium, $0.6 million in
proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants and $0.7 million in proceeds from the sale of common shares through share option exercises and the
employee share purchase plan. This was partially offset by principal payments of $0.8 million to retire a short−term loan obligation and $0.6 million for principal
payments on capital lease obligations.

We expect our cash, cash equivalents and short−term investments to decrease in 2006 with the use of cash to fund ongoing operations and capital
investments, partially offset by proceeds from our Chiron loan facility and an additional $12.0 million issuance of our 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM as part of the
exchange of existing convertible senior notes for $60.0 million 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM due 2012. See “Subsequent Events” below for details of the February
financing.

See “Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and “Collaborative and Licensing Agreements” footnote for further
discussion of the interest bearing long−term obligation to Chiron.
In January of 2005, our agreement with Genentech was amended and Genentech discharged this note. See “Financial and Legal Arrangements of Product
Collaborations” for further discussion of the interest bearing long−term obligation to Genentech.
See “Subsequent Events” below for a description of the February 2006 exchange offer and debt offering.

In addition to the above, we have committed to make potential future “milestone” payments to third parties as part of licensing and development programs.

Payments under these agreements generally become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory and/or commercial
milestones. Because it is uncertain if and when these milestones will be achieved, such contingencies have not been recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.

Other than the convertible senior notes, the Chiron note, and the operating lease obligations stated in the table above, we had no other long−term

obligations as of December 31, 2005, nor any purchase obligations, as defined in Item 303(a)(5) of Regulation S−K since all of our outstanding purchase
obligations are cancelable.

The present outlook is for net losses in 2006 as compared to net income reported in 2005 primarily because in 2005 a non−recurring gain of $40.9 million

was recorded in the first quarter of 2005 due to the restructuring of the Genentech agreement, as well as expected increases in research and development
expenses in 2006 to support the on−going development of our products. Our strategy is to attempt to continue broadening our product pipeline through both
internal development and additional collaborations such as our arrangements with Chiron, Lexicon,

43

Table of Contents
and Aphton, and to increase revenues or benefits from cost sharing arrangements which take advantage of our manufacturing and development capabilities.

Based on current spending levels, anticipated revenues, partner funding, and proceeds from our convertible senior notes issued in February of 2005 and

February 2006, we estimate that we have sufficient cash resources to meet our anticipated net cash needs through at least 2008. Any significant revenue shortfalls
or increases in planned spending on development programs could shorten this period. Additional licensing arrangements or collaborations or otherwise entering
into new equity or other financing arrangements could extend this period. Progress or setbacks by potentially competing products may also affect our ability to
raise new funding on acceptable terms. For a further discussion of the risks related to our business and their effects on our cash flow and ability to raise new
funding on acceptable terms, see “Forward Looking Information And Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results” included in this Item 7 below.

Although operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material impact on financial results for the
periods presented. We believe that we are not dependent on materials or other resources that would be significantly impacted by inflation or changing economic
conditions in the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share−Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock−Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R
requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair
values beginning with the first annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS
123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R in the year beginning January 1, 2006. Under SFAS
123R, we must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share−based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the
transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive option, prior
periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation
expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive
method would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated.

We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on our consolidated results of

operations and loss per share in 2006. We have elected to use the Black−Scholes Model for valuing our share−based payments. We also elected to follow the
prospective adoption method when adopting SFAS 123R. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro
forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

On April 15, 2005, with the approval of our Board of Directors, we accelerated the vesting of all outstanding employee share options with an exercise

price greater than $3.00 per share. Because the exercise price of all the accelerated options exceeded the market price per share of the common shares as of the
new measurement date, the acceleration had no impact on our earnings in 2005. The modification to our outstanding employee share options will allow expense
recognized in future financial statements to better reflect our compensation strategies under SFAS 123R, which we will adopt as of January 1, 2006.

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement

No. 3” (“SFAS 154”) which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the
new accounting

44

Table of Contents
principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a
corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement
will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS 154 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2005, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115−1 and FAS 124−1, “The Meaning of Other−Than−Temporary Impairment and Its

Application to Certain Investments” which addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than
temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. This statement nullifies the requirements of paragraph 10−18 of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)
Issue No. 03−1 and references existing other−than−temporary impairment guidance. The guidance under this FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2005, and we continued to apply relevant “other−than−temporary” guidance as provided for in EITF 03−1 during fiscal 2005. We do not
believe that the adoption of the guidance for FSP FAS 115−1 and FAS 124−1 will have a significant effect on our future consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

In February of 2006, we completed an exchange offer with holders of our 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 in which we exchanged $60 million
aggregate principal amount of our new 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM due 2012 (the “New Notes”) for all $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our then
outstanding convertible senior notes due 2012. We also issued an additional $12.0 million of New Notes to the public for cash at a public offering price of 104%
of principal, or $12.5 million. The New Notes are initially convertible into approximately 38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of our
common shares per $1,000 principal amount of New Note, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share. Before
February 10, 2010, we may not redeem the New Notes. On or after February 10, 2010, we may redeem any or all of the New Notes at 100% of the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may automatically convert some or all of the New Notes on or prior to the maturity date if the closing
price of our common shares has exceeded 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading day period
ending within five trading days prior to the notice of auto−conversion. If we elect to automatically convert, or if holders elect to voluntarily convert, some or all
of the New Notes on or prior to February 10, 2010, we must pay or provide for additional interest equal to four years’ worth of interest less any interest paid or
provided for, on the principal amount so converted, prior to the date of conversion. Additional interest, if any, shall be paid in cash or, solely at our option and
subject to certain limitations, in our common shares valued at the conversion price then in effect.

In accounting for the New Notes, we will apply guidance as set forth in EITF 96−19, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting

for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended (“SFAS 133”), EITF 05−7, EITF 00−19, and EITF 01−6 as follows. The exchange offer is a
modification of existing debt, rather than extinguishment. The additional interest payment upon conversion is an embedded derivative requiring separate
accounting. We considered the provisions of EITF 05−2 and concluded that this is not conventional convertible debt.

In accordance with SFAS 133, we are required to separately account for the additional interest payment feature of the New Notes as an embedded
derivative instrument, which must be measured at fair value and reflected on the balance sheet in “other liabilities.” Changes in the fair value of the embedded
derivative will be recognized in earnings as a component of other income (expense). We have estimated the fair value of the additional interest payment feature
to be $5.8 million, including approximately $1.0 million related to the New Notes issued for cash, based on current information including share price. For the
New Notes issued in the exchange offer, this amount will be subtracted from the carrying value of the debt, reflected as a debt discount, which will be amortized
as interest expense using the effective interest method through the date the notes are

45

Table of Contents
scheduled to mature and separately reported as a derivative liability. For the New Notes issued in the new money offering, this amount will be deducted from the
proceeds.

In accounting for the New Notes, we will also apply the guidance set forth in EITF 05−7, which specifies the appropriate basis to account for the
auto−conversion feature within the exchange offer as it is a change to the initial conversion option. Under this guidance, the change in fair value of the
auto−conversion feature before and after the modification will be reflected as a debt discount/premium and additional paid−in capital over the life of the New
Notes. The debt discount/premium will be amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. For purposes of the “as adjusted” numbers in this document, we have
estimated the fair value change of the auto−conversion feature to be $0.0 million based on current information including share price, which is reflected as a debt
premium.

We also applied the guidance set forth in EITF 00−27, which specifies the appropriate basis to account for contingent beneficial conversion premiums

(“BCF”), and noted that no BCF existed for either the New Notes issued in the exchange offer or the New Notes issued for cash.

Forward−Looking Information And Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

Certain statements contained herein related to the sufficiency of our cash resources, future sales of RAPTIVA ®, as well as other statements related to

current plans for product development and existing and potential collaborative and licensing relationships, or that otherwise relate to future periods, are
forward−looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These
statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the
biotechnology industry and for companies engaged in the development of new products in a regulated market. Among other things, the period for which our cash
resources are sufficient could be shortened if expenditures are made earlier or in larger amounts than anticipated or are unanticipated, if anticipated revenues or
cost sharing arrangements do not materialize, or if funds are not otherwise available on acceptable terms; and the sales efforts for RAPTIVA ® may not be
successful if Genentech or its partner, Serono, fails to meet its commercialization goals, due to the strength of the competition, if physicians do not adopt the
product as treatment for their patients or if remaining regulatory approvals are not obtained. These and other risks, including those related to the results of
pre−clinical testing; the timing or results of pending and future clinical trials (including the design and progress of clinical trials; safety and efficacy of the
products being tested; action, inaction or delay by the FDA, European or other regulators or their advisory bodies; and analysis or interpretation by, or
submission to, these entities or others of scientific data); changes in the status of existing collaborative relationships; the ability of collaborators and other
partners to meet their obligations; our ability to meet the demand of the United States government agency with which we have entered our first government
contract; competition; market demands for products; scale−up and marketing capabilities; availability of additional licensing or collaboration opportunities;
international operations; share price volatility; our financing needs and opportunities; uncertainties regarding the status of biotechnology patents; uncertainties as
to the costs of protecting intellectual property; and risks associated with our status as a Bermuda company, are described in more detail in “Item IA.—Risk
Factors.”

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our loan facility. By policy, we make our

investments in high quality debt securities, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limit duration by restricting the term of the instrument and hold
investments to maturity except under rare circumstances. We do not invest in derivative financial instruments.

In February of 2005, we issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012. In February 2006, we completed an exchange offer for all $60.0

million of our 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 for $60.0

46

Table of Contents
million of 6.5% convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 and issued an additional $12.0 million of 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM to the public for cash. The interest rate and
amount of principal of the previously outstanding notes were, and of the new convertible SNAPs SM are, fixed.

In 2005, we drew down $12.4 million against the Chiron $50.0 million loan facility that is due in 2015 at an interest rate based on six month LIBOR plus 2
percent, $6.67% at December 31, 2005. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates could increase or decrease our interest expense by
approximately $90,000 on an annualized basis.

We hold interest−bearing instruments that are classified as cash, cash equivalents and short−term investments. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect the
principal values and yields of fixed income investments. If interest rates in the general economy were to rise rapidly in a short period of time, our fixed income
investments could lose value. The following table presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of our cash and investments at December 31, 2005 and
2004:

Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and our

13a−15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our

and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our
periodic SEC filings.

Table of Contents

We continue to enhance internal financial controls and staffing consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes−Oxley Act of 2002. Apart from this, there

were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal controls over financial accounting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management, including our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, is

responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide
reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, Management

used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2005, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, has been audited by Ernst & Young,

LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on
management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting follows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of XOMA Ltd.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that
XOMA Ltd. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). XOMA Ltd.’s management is responsible
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require

that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of

effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that XOMA Ltd. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly

stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, XOMA Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance
sheets of XOMA Ltd. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (net capital deficiency) and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, of XOMA Ltd. and our report dated March 8, 2006, expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of XOMA Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of XOMA Ltd. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements
of operations, shareholders’ equity (net capital deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require

that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of XOMA Ltd. at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005,
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of XOMA
Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 8, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

XOMA Ltd. (“XOMA” or the “Company”), a Bermuda company, is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers and develops for commercialization
antibodies and other genetically−engineered protein products to treat immunological and inflammatory disorders, cancer and infectious diseases. The Company’s
products are presently in various stages of development and most are subject to regulatory approval before they can be introduced commercially. The Company
has one approved product, RAPTIVA®, which is marketed in the United States and Europe, for the treatment of moderate−to−severe plaque psoriasis under a
collaboration agreement with Genentech. XOMA’s pipeline includes both proprietary products and collaborative programs at various stages of preclinical and
clinical development.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and

transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Concentration of Risk

Cash, cash equivalents, short−term investments and accounts receivable are financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to

concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains money market funds and short−term investments that bear minimal risk. The Company has not
experienced any significant credit losses and does not generally require collateral on receivables. In 2005, four customers represented 39%, 28%, 14%, and 11%
of total revenues and as of December 31, 2005, and there were billed and unbilled receivables of $4.6 million outstanding from three of these customers
representing 52%, 22%, and 15% of the balance. In 2004, three customers represented 45%, 14% and 14% of total revenues and as of December 31, 2004, and
there were billed and unbilled receivables of $250,000 outstanding from one of these customers.

Reclassifications

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2005 presentation. Such

reclassifications have not impacted previously reported revenues, operating loss or net loss.

Collaboration arrangement

Beginning in 2004, the Company reported its RAPTIVA ® collaboration profit or loss as a single line item to reflect the terms of the agreement with

Genentech, which includes XOMA’s share of Genentech’s operating profit or loss before research and development expenses from RAPTIVA ® sales in the
United States, royalty income on sales of RAPTIVA ® outside of the United States and any research and development cost sharing

adjustments between the companies. Collaboration activity each quarter through 2004 has resulted in a loss, and has been included in operating expenses.
Research and development costs incurred directly by the Company related to RAPTIVA ® continued to be included in research and development expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In connection with the revised presentation of RAPTIVA ® collaboration profit or loss, the Company reclassified the following amounts (in thousands):

Beginning January 1, 2005, the collaboration arrangement was re−structured to eliminate the cost and profit sharing arrangement in the United States.
XOMA is entitled to receive a royalty on worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ® and Genentech will be responsible for all operating and development costs. As a result,
the collaboration arrangement line item is not used in the 2005 financial results. XOMA recorded revenue for worldwide royalties as earned and for any clinical
trial or other development services which it provides to and is compensated by Genentech.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company believes the following policies to be the most critical to an understanding of its financial condition and results of operations because they

require it to make estimates, assumptions and judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery

has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and
(4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the nature of the fee charged for products or services delivered and the collectibility of those fees.

The Company recognizes revenue from its license and collaboration arrangements, contract services, product sales and royalties. Revenue arrangements

with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand−alone value to
the customer and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The consideration received is allocated among the
separate units based on their respective fair values and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. Advance payments
received in excess of amounts earned are classified as deferred revenue until earned.

License and Collaborative Fees

Revenue from non−refundable license or technology access payments under license and collaborative agreements where the Company has a continuing

obligation to perform is recognized as revenue over the period of the continuing performance obligation.

F−8

Table of Contents

XOMA Ltd.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Milestone payments under collaborative arrangements are recognized as revenue upon completion of the milestone events, which represent the culmination

of the earnings process because the Company has no future performance obligations related to the payment. Milestone payments that require a continuing
performance obligation on the part of the Company are recognized over the period of the continuing performance obligation. Amounts received in advance are
recorded as deferred revenue until the related milestone is completed.

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue for research and development involves the Company providing research and development for manufacturing processes to collaborative

partners or others. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements as the related research and development costs are incurred and collectibility is
reasonably assured. Revenues for certain contracts are accounted for on a percentage−of−completion method where completion is measured by progress towards
established contract deliverables and milestones.

Royalty Revenue

Royalty revenue and royalty receivables are generally recorded in the periods these royalties are earned, in advance of collection. The royalty revenue and

receivables in these instances is based upon communication with collaborative partners, historical information and forecasted sales trends. Under some of
XOMA’s agreements with licensees that include receipt of royalty revenue, the Company does not have sufficient historical information to estimate royalty
revenues or receivables in the period that these royalties are earned. For these contracts, the Company records royalty revenue upon cash receipt.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of direct and research−related allocated

overhead costs such as facilities costs, salaries and related personnel costs, patent costs and material and supply costs. In addition, research and development
expenses include costs related to clinical trials to validate the Company’s testing processes and procedures and related overhead expenses. Under cost sharing
arrangements with collaborative partners, differences between the Company’s actual research and development spending and its share of such spending under the
collaboration agreement will also be included as a cost sharing adjustment in its research and development expense. Expenses resulting from clinical trials are
recorded when incurred based in part on estimates as to the status of the various trials From time to time, research and development expenses may include
upfront fees and milestones paid to collaborative partners for the purchase of rights to in−process research and development.

Long−Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long−Lived

Assets” which superseded FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long−Lived Assets and for Long−Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” the
Company records impairment losses on long−lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.

Share−Based Compensation

In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS 123, as amended by Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock−Based

Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS No. 123,” the

F−9

Table of Contents

XOMA Ltd.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Company has elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related
interpretations and to adopt the “disclosure only” alternative described in SFAS 123. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the Company’s employee share
options equals or exceeds the fair market value on the date of the grant or the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant as determined by the
Company’s Board of Directors, no compensation expense is recognized. Accordingly, the financial statements reflect amortization of compensation resulting
from options granted at exercise prices which were below market price at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the Company’s share−based compensation
plans been based on the fair value method at the grant dates for awards under these plans consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss and
net loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands,
except per share amounts):

In December of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123R, which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R
requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair
values beginning with the first annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS
123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition.

In addition, under SFAS 123R compensation cost for awards subject to acceleration of vesting or continued vesting upon retirement should be recognized

over the period through the date that the employee is no longer required to provide service to earn the award, which in many cases is the first date that the
employee is eligible to retire. However, XOMA’s practice has been to recognize compensation cost over the explicit service period, up to the date of actual
retirement, a practice that has been allowed for awards granted prior to the adoption of FAS 123R. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, XOMA will recognize
compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee is eligible to retire. Had XOMA recognized compensation expense for awards subject to
acceleration of vesting or continued vesting upon retirement as required by SFAS 123R, XOMA would have recognized an additional compensation expense of
$0.1 million in 2005.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the

differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation
allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would be

antidilutive for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time the Company acquires them to be cash

equivalents.

Short−Term Investments

Short−term investments include debt securities classified as available−for−sale. Available−for−sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains
and losses, net of tax, if any, reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other−than−temporary
on available−for−sale securities are included in investment and other income. The cost of investments sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest
and dividends on securities classified as available−for−sale are also included in investment and other income.

As of December 31, 2005, 19 investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $15.4 million, had aggregate unrealized losses of $69,000,
compared with no investments with unrealized losses in 2004. The unrealized losses were recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company reviews its
instruments for other−than−temporary impairment whenever the value of the instrument is less than the amortized cost. All such investments have been or were
in an unrealized loss position for less than six months and have holding periods less than twelve months. The Company has not sold similar investments at a loss
and currently has the financial ability to hold short−term investments with an unrealized loss until maturity and not incur any recognized losses. As a result, the
Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent an other−than−temporary impairment.

The estimate of fair value is based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by the Company. The maturities of short−term

investments (in thousands) at December 31, 2005, were as follows:

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, property and equipment includes equipment acquired under capital lease obligations which had a cost of approximately

$0 and $1.1 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization of $0 and $0.7 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.1 million, $4.6 million and $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,

respectively.

During 2005, the Company completed an annual review of leasehold improvements. Based on this review, the Company decided to abandon its plan to add
a fermentation unit to its existing research and development facility. As certain leasehold improvements related to this project no longer prolonged the life of the
related building nor enhanced its functional use, the Company expensed approximately $0.6 million to depreciation expense for research and development in
December 2005.

In addition, as a result of water damage in our research and development facilities, the Company received $0.1 million in insurance proceeds in 2005. The

damaged facilities were subsequently remediated and these proceeds were recorded as an offset to repairs and maintenance within research and development.

Certain of the Company’s license and contract agreements involve continuing performance obligations for services and, in these cases, the related
payments received are recorded as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue over the period of continuing performance obligation. In addition, certain of
our contract agreements have retainage provisions whereby a certain percentage of revenue is to be held back until completion of all performance obligations
under the agreement. In 2005, the addition of $1.5 million in deferred revenue represents both revenues related to future performance obligations and revenue
retained until completion of all performance obligations under the NIAID agreement. In 2004, deferred revenue included $10.0 million in upfront payments
received from Chiron related to a collaboration agreement in oncology, which was initiated in February of 2004, and is being recognized as revenue over the five
year expected term of the agreement. The following table illustrates the activity in deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (in

The $7.9 million balance in deferred revenue at December 31, 2005, is expected to be recognized as revenue largely over the next three years. Future

amounts may also be impacted by additional consideration received, if any, under existing or any future licensing or other collaborative arrangements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of marketable debt and equity securities is based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair

value.

F−14

Table of Contents

XOMA Ltd.

The fair value of notes is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers

with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The carrying values of these obligations approximate their respective fair values.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The fair value of capital lease obligations is estimated based on current interest rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms,

degrees of risk and remaining maturities. The carrying values of these obligations approximate their respective fair values.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash paid for interest was $2.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition,

there were no dividends paid on common shares during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Non−cash transactions from financing activities included the conversion of convertible subordinated notes held by Genentech to equity of zero, zero and

$29.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $3,000, zero and zero during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income

taxes paid in 2005 are related to activities of the Company’s foreign operations.

In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to

Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair values beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma
disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. XOMA is required to adopt SFAS 123R
beginning January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share−based payments, the
amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive
adoption options. Under the retroactive option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The
prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options

F−15

Table of Contents

XOMA Ltd.

and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive method would record compensation expense for all
unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on its consolidated

results of operations and loss per share in 2006. The Company has elected to use the Black−Scholes Model for valuing its share−based payments. The Company
has also elected to follow the prospective adoption method when adopting SFAS 123R. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in
amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

On April 15, 2005, with the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company accelerated the vesting of all outstanding employee share options with an

exercise price greater than $3.00 per share. Because the exercise price of all the accelerated options exceeded the market price per share of the common shares as
of the new measurement date, the acceleration had no impact on XOMA’s earnings in 2005. The modification to its outstanding employee share options will
allow expense recognized in future financial statements to better reflect the Company’s compensation strategies under SFAS 123R, which XOMA will adopt as
of January 1, 2006.

In May of 2005, FASB issued SFAS 154 which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle.

It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which
retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being
reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115−1 and FAS 124−1 which addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired,
whether the impairment is other than temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. This statement nullifies the requirements of paragraph 10−18 of
EITF 03−1 and references existing other−than−temporary impairment guidance. The guidance under this FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company continued to apply relevant “other−than−temporary” guidance as provided for in EITF 03−1 during fiscal 2005 and does not
believe that the adoption of the guidance for FSP FAS 115−1 and FAS 124−1 will have a significant effect on its future consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

License Agreements

XOMA has granted approximately 40 licenses to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for use of patented and proprietary technologies relating to

bacterial expression of recombinant pharmaceutical products. Seven of these are cross−license arrangements related to the use of XOMA’s bacterial cell
expression system technology in phage display. Under the agreements, MorphoSys AG, Biosite Incorporated, Dyax Corp., Cambridge Antibody Technology
Limited, BioInvent International AB, Diversa Corporation and Affitech AS received licenses to use XOMA’s antibody expression technology for developing
products using phage display−based antibody libraries. XOMA, in exchange, receives license and other fees as well as access to these companies’ antibody
display libraries, intellectual property and/or services that complement XOMA’s existing development capabilities and helps support the Company’s own
antibody product development pipeline.

These agreements also generally provide releases of the licensee companies and their collaborators from claims under the XOMA patents arising from past

activities using the companies’ respective technologies to the extent they also used XOMA’s antibody expression technology. Licensees are generally also
allowed to use XOMA’s technology in combination with their own technology in future collaborations.

Collaborative and Licensing Agreements

Total research and development expenses incurred related to the Company’s collaborative agreements were approximately $16.6 million, $20.0 million

and $36.7 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Genentech

In April of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Genentech whereby it agreed to co−develop Genentech’s humanized monoclonal antibody
product RAPTIVA®. In connection with the agreement, Genentech purchased 1.5 million common shares for approximately $9.0 million and agreed to fund the
Company’s development costs for RAPTIVA ® until first FDA approval. This funding was through a series of convertible subordinated notes due at the earlier of
April of 2005 or upon regulatory approval of RAPTIVA ®. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was entitled to receive 25% of U.S. operating profits
or losses from RAPTIVA® in all indications and a royalty on sales outside the U.S. The Company granted Genentech a security interest in its profit share on
RAPTIVA® as collateral against any unpaid past due amounts of these loans.

Under the convertible loan agreement, upon FDA approval of the product, which occurred October 27, 2003, the Company elected to defer repayment of
approximately $40.0 million as an offset against future proceeds from its 25% share of U.S. operating profits and, on December 22, 2003, the Company issued
2,959 preference shares to Genentech, convertible into 3.8 million common shares, to repay the remaining outstanding balance of the development loan of $29.6
million. The Company received zero and zero million net funding from Genentech under this agreement for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively

An additional debt facility was established to finance the Company’s share of U.S. commercialization costs prior to FDA approval. Under the terms of the
agreement, the outstanding balance under the commercial loan of $3.0 million related to 2002 commercialization costs was repaid in cash in January of 2004 and
the remaining balance of $10.2 million, which relates to 2003 commercialization costs, was repaid in cash in May of 2004.

The agreement was amended in January of 2005, wherein the cost and profit sharing arrangement was terminated. XOMA is now entitled to earn a
mid−single digit royalty on worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ® with an additional royalty rate on annual sales in the U.S. in excess of a specified level. Additionally,
Genentech agreed to extinguish the Company’s obligation to pay the remaining outstanding balance under the development loan

and related accrued interest, and in January 2005, the Company recorded a one−time gain to other income of $40.9 million related to the extinguishment of the
loan obligation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

RAPTIVA® is license by Genentech outside the United States and Japan through an agreement made with Serono in August of 2002.

The Company is entitled to receive royalties of RAPTIVA ® in all indications. In March of 2004, Genentech disclosed its intention to begin clinical testing
of the drug in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. Genentech’s management recently informed the Company that it has decided not to pursue this indication.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the financing arrangement between XOMA and Genentech.

Chiron

In February of 2004, XOMA entered into an exclusive multi−product collaboration with Chiron for the development and commercialization of antibody
products for the treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies agreed to share costs and profits on a 70−30 basis, with XOMA’s share
being 30%. XOMA is entitled to initial payments totaling $10.0 million, which were received in March and June of 2004. This initial $10.0 million is being
recognized ratably over sixty months, the expected term of the agreement, as license and collaborative fees.

A loan facility of up to $50.0 million is available to the Company to fund up to 75% of it’s share of development expenses to be incurred beginning in
2005. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has drawn $12.4 million on this loan facility. Chiron’s profit share is subject to a limited upward adjustment,
which, in turn, may be reduced if the Company achieves certain milestones or if Chiron elects to extend the program from three to five years.

In October of 2005, Chiron announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novartis under which Novartis will acquire all of the shares

of Chiron that it does not currently own. The merger is expected to be completed in the first half of 2006.

Aphton

In September of 2004, XOMA announced a worldwide collaboration with Aphton Corporation to develop treatments for gastrointestinal and other
gastrin−sensitive cancers using anti−gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies agreed to share all development expenses
and all commercialization profits and losses for all product candidates on a 70/30 basis, with the Company’s share being 30%. XOMA is entitled to have
worldwide manufacturing rights for these products and the ability to share up to 30% in the commercialization efforts in the United States. Aphton shares U.S.
commercialization rights and is entitled to have exclusive rights to commercialize all products outside the United States.

Lexicon

In June of 2005, XOMA entered into a collaboration agreement with Lexicon to jointly develop and commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets
discovered by Lexicon. The collaboration is designed to combine Lexicon’s target discovery and biotherapeutics capabilities with XOMA’s antibody generation,

development and manufacturing expertise to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel therapeutic antibodies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

During the three−year initial term, Lexicon will select for submission to the collaboration targets from among those discovered and analyzed in its
Genome5000™ program. In this program, Lexicon is using its gene knockout technology to discover the physiological functions of 5,000 potential drug targets.
XOMA will generate or engineer antibodies that modulate the collaboration’s targets using phage display libraries and its proprietary Human Engineering ™
technology. Lexicon and XOMA will share the responsibility and costs for research, preclinical, clinical and commercialization activities. Costs and profits will
be allocated 65% to Lexicon and 35% to XOMA. XOMA will have principal responsibility for manufacturing antibodies for use in clinical trials and commercial
sales.

Millennium

In November of 2001, XOMA announced its agreement with Millennium to develop two of Millennium’s biotherapeutic agents, MLN2222 (also known as

CAB2) and MLN2201, for certain vascular inflammation indications. Under the original agreement, for each product, the Company was responsible for
development activities and related costs through the completion of Phase II trials and for payments to Millennium upon the achievement of certain clinical
milestones. After successful completion of Phase II trials, Millennium would have had the right to commercialize the products and XOMA would have had the
option to choose between continued participation in the development programs and future profit sharing or being entitled to future royalty and milestone
payments.

In October of 2003, the companies announced the discontinuation of development of MLN2201, based on preliminary data from a Phase I study that did

not meet predefined criteria necessary to support further product development efforts. As a result, XOMA amended the development agreement with Millennium.
Under the terms of the amended development agreement, the Company has no future obligations to make milestone payments to Millennium for MLN2201.

In December of 2003, the Company announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a complement inhibitor for coronary artery

bypass graft surgery targeting vascular inflammation associated with such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
properties. In October of 2004, the Company announced the amendment of its agreements with Millennium whereby Millennium assumed responsibility for all
development work and expenses for MLN2222 upon initiation of Phase II testing. The Company has now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and has
transferred the relevant clinical data from the trial to Millennium. XOMA is obligated to continue to provide quantities of bulk drug substance and services
requested and paid for by Millennium for future clinical trials. The Company will be entitled to receive an undisclosed royalty on future net sales of MLN2222,
as well as payments related to the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the related financing arrangement between XOMA and Millennium.

Triton

In October of 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Triton under which Triton licensed from XOMA the exclusive worldwide right to use the

Company’s ING−1 monoclonal antibody with Triton’s Targeted Nano−Therapeutics ™ System. The license to Triton includes U.S. and foreign patent rights
related to the

Cubist

In September of 2005, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Cubist to develop production processes and to manufacture HepeX−B ™, a novel

two−antibody biologic, in quantities sufficient to conduct Phase III clinical trials. HepeX−B ™ is a combination of two fully human monoclonal antibodies that
target HBV surface antigens. The product, which has been granted Orphan Drug Status in both the United States and the European Union, is currently being
evaluated in Phase II trials for the prevention of HBV re−infection in liver transplant patients. If the contemplated Phase III trials are successful, the companies
may extend the relationship to a commercial supply agreement for product launch. The Company has received $0.8 million as an advance under the letter
agreement and has incurred $0.4 million in costs in connection with work performed under the agreement. The advance is included in accrued liabilities in the
accompanying financial statements and the costs incurred in connection with the arrangement have been included in contract research and development costs.

NIAID

In March of 2005, the Company was awarded a $15.0 million contract from NIAID, a division of the NIH, to develop three anti−botulinum neurotoxin
monoclonal antibody therapeutics. The contract work will be performed over an 18−month period and will be 100% funded with Federal funds from NIAID
under Contract No. HHSN266200500004C. XOMA will recognize revenue over the life of the contract as the services are performed and, pursuant to the
retainage provisions of the contract, a 10% retention on all revenue is deferred and classified as a receivable until completion of the contract. For the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded revenues of $5.2 million from this contract. Accounts receivables from NIAID at December 31, 2005 amounts
to $2.7 million, including retained amounts of $0.7 million.

Onyx

In January of 2001, XOMA signed a strategic process development and manufacturing agreement with Onyx for its ONYX−015 product. The initial term
was five years, with options to extend for additional periods. Under the terms of the agreement, Onyx was obliged to pay the Company an initial payment as well
as payments for development work and material produced and payments upon achieving key milestones. In June of 2003, Onyx announced that it was
discontinuing its therapeutic virus program to focus its resources on its BAY 43−9006 anticancer compound. Onyx notified XOMA on June 23, 2003, of its
intention to terminate the Company’s related process development and manufacturing agreement effective 120 days from the date of notification. Under the
terms of the agreement, Onyx paid $0.5 million as a facility fee plus $1.0 million as a termination fee in the fourth quarter of 2003 and, in accordance with
XOMA’s revenue recognition policy, these amounts were recognized primarily in the fourth quarter of 2003 as the Company’s service commitments were
completed at that time. Additionally, the Company accelerated the amortization of $1.0 million remaining in deferred revenue over the 120−day notification
period.

Baxter

In January of 2000, Baxter’s Hyland Immuno division acquired the worldwide rights to XOMA’s NEUPREX ® (rBPI21) for development in antibacterial

and anti−endotoxin indications. XOMA received initial non−refundable license and signing fees of $10.0 million. In July of 2003, the Company and Baxter
terminated the license and supply agreements for the NEUPREX ® product. XOMA received a one−time termination payment

F−20

Table of Contents

XOMA Ltd.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

of $10.0 million in January of 2004. Until such payment was made, Baxter continued to reimburse the Company for a portion of certain development expenses as
they were incurred. The Company recognized the $10.0 million termination fee as revenue at the time of the termination in the third quarter of 2003. In addition,
XOMA recorded a charge of $1.3 million related to the Baxter inventory, which would no longer have net realizable value following the Baxter agreement
termination. Due to the nature of the inventory, the $1.3 million charge was recorded in research and development expense.

Alexion

In December of 2003, XOMA entered into a collaboration agreement with Alexion to jointly develop and commercialize a rationally designed TPO
mimetic antibody to treat chemotherapy−induced thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is an abnormal blood condition in which the number of platelets is
reduced, potentially leading to bleeding complications. Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA agreed to share development and commercialization expenses
with Alexion, including preclinical development, manufacturing and marketing costs world−wide, as well as revenues, generally on a 70−30 basis, with
XOMA’s share being 30%. Alexion received a payment from us tied to initiation of the collaboration and is entitled to receive a payment tied to achievement of a
regulatory milestone. XOMA is entitled to royalty payments and milestones related to the Company’s bacterial expression technology. In November of 2004,
XOMA and Alexion determined that the lead molecule in the Company’s TPO mimetic collaboration did not meet the criteria established in the program for
continued development. In the first quarter of 2005, XOMA and Alexion determined not to continue with this development program and, in the second quarter of
2005, the collaboration was terminated.

Zephyr

In November of 2004, XOMA entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Zephyr for the research, development and commercialization

of products related to BPI, including the Company’s NEUPREX ® product which is a particular fragment of rBPI and has been tested in clinical trials in several
indications. Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA is entitled to receive license fees totaling up to $11.0 million and milestone payments totaling up to
$61.9 million, as well as royalties on sales of future products developed and approved under the agreement. The agreement also included due diligence
provisions related to the development of BPI in multiple indications with Zephyr funding all future research and development activities. The agreement did not
cover BPI−derived peptide products. In November of 2004, XOMA announced the licensing of the Company’s BPI product platform, including the Company’s
NEUPREX® product, to Zephyr. In July of 2005, the Company announced its decision to terminate the license agreement with Zephyr due to Zephyr not meeting
the financing requirements of the license agreement. The Company has no further obligations under the terms of the original agreement nor will there be any
additional costs related to the termination of the agreement.

Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements

Genentech

Under an arrangement with Genentech (see Note 5), the Company received financing for its share of RAPTIVA ® development costs through the issuance
of convertible subordinated notes due at the earlier of April of 2005 or upon first regulatory approval of RAPTIVA ®, which occurred on October 27, 2003. The
notes bear interest at rates of LIBOR plus 1% (2.9% at December 31, 2004) compounded and reset at the end of June and December each year. Interest is payable
at maturity.

The agreement was amended March 31, 2003, to provide the following terms:

date(s) of such advances or (b) within 90 days after first product approval which occurred on October 27, 2003. At XOMA’s election, the convertible
subordinated note was to be repaid in cash or with shares with the conversion price to be calculated at the time of payment based on the fair market
value at the time of election. If repayment were triggered by product approval, XOMA could elect to defer payment of up to $40.0 million as an offset
against the Company’s proceeds from its 25% share of U.S. operating profits on the product. Following product approval, on November 3, 2003,
XOMA announced its election to defer payment of approximately $40.0 million of this debt as provided above and on December 22, 2003, the
Company issued 2,959 of convertible preference shares to repay the approximately $29.6 million remaining outstanding balance.

An additional $15.0 million debt facility was established to finance XOMA’s share of U.S. commercialization costs. The note payable was to mature
upon the earlier of (a) April of 2005, except for advances made after April of 2003 in which case payment will be due on the second anniversary
date(s) of such advances or (b) within 90 days after first product approval by the FDA which occurred on October 27, 2003. At December 31, 2003,
the outstanding balance under this note totaled approximately $13.2 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the outstanding balance of $3.0
million related to 2002 commercialization costs was repaid in cash in January of 2004. The balance of $10.2 million which relates to 2003
commercialization costs was repaid in cash in May of 2004.

The agreement was further amended in January of 2005, wherein XOMA’s liability for the remaining $40.9 million balance outstanding under the
development loan, including accrued interest, was extinguished and the profit sharing arrangement was terminated. The Company recorded a one−time gain to
other income of $40.9 million related to the extinguishment of the loan. The Company has no further obligation under the loan arrangement.

Millennium

In November of 2001, in conjunction with the Millennium development agreement (see Note 5), Millennium committed to purchase, at XOMA’s option,
up to $50.0 million worth of the Company’s common shares over three years, through a combination of equity at prevailing market prices in return for cash and
retirement of XOMA’s convertible debt. In October of 2003, in conjunction with discontinuing development of MLN2201, the investment agreement was
amended and the remaining funding amounts were reduced by 40% from a total of $33.5 million to a total of $20.1 million.

In February of 2004, the investment agreement was further revised to extend the maturity date of the $5.0 million outstanding convertible debt to April 15,

2004, and to re−schedule the Company’s decision points regarding whether to sell the remaining $14.7 million worth of common shares to four option dates
through March of 2005, at each of which the Company could issue up to $3,675,000 worth of common shares. In October of 2004, the investment agreement
with Millennium was terminated and there will be no further issuance of the Company’s common shares to Millennium.

In July of 2004, the Company exercised its option to sell 920,284 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $3.7 million or $3.99 per share. In November

of 2003, the Company exercised its option to sell 763,719 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $5.4 million or $7.07 per share. In June of 2003, the
Company exercised its option to sell 608,766 shares to Millennium for gross proceeds of $4.0 million or $6.57 per share. In April of 2004, XOMA repaid the

Chiron

XOMA Ltd.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In May of 2005, the Company executed a secured note agreement with Chiron. Under the note agreement, Chiron agreed to make semi−annual loans to the
Company, to fund up to 75% of the Company’s research and development and commercialization costs under the collaboration arrangement, not to exceed $50.0
million in an aggregate principal amount. Any unpaid principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on June 21,
2015, the tenth anniversary date of the advance date on which the first loan was made. Interest on the unpaid balance of the principal amount of each loan shall
accrue at a floating rate per annum which was equal to 6.67% at December 31, 2005, and is payable semi−annually in June and December of each year. At the
Company’s election, the semi−annual interest payments can be added to the outstanding principal amount, in lieu of a cash payment, as long as the aggregate
principal amount does not exceed $50.0 million. Loans under the note agreement are secured by the Company’s interest in its collaboration with Chiron,
including its share of any profits arising therefrom. At December 31, 2005, the outstanding principal balance under this note agreement totaled $12.4 million.

Convertible Senior Notes

In February of 2005, XOMA issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due in 2012, the proceeds of which are being used for general corporate

purposes, including current research and development projects, the development of new products or technologies, equipment acquisitions, general working
capital purposes and operating expenses. The notes were initially convertible into approximately 32 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of
the Company’s common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share.
Before February 6, 2008, the Company could not have redeemed the notes. On or after February 6, 2008, XOMA could have redeemed any or all of the notes at
100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the Company’s common shares traded at 150% of the conversion price then in effect for 20
trading days in a 30 consecutive trading day period. Holders of the notes could have required us to repurchase some or all of the notes for cash at a repurchase
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest following a fundamental change. In addition, following certain
fundamental changes, XOMA would have increased the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, XOMA could have, in
certain circumstances, elected to adjust the conversion rate and related conversion obligation so that the notes would have been convertible into shares of the
acquiring, continuing or surviving company. The convertible senior notes were issued, to the initial purchasers, for net proceeds of $56.6 million. The issuance
costs of approximately $3.4 million are being amortized on a straight−line basis over the 84 month life of the notes, and are disclosed as current and long−term
debt issuance costs on the balance sheet.

In February of 2006, XOMA exchanged all of these convertible senior notes for $60.0 million 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM due 2012 and issued an

additional $12.0 million of its 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM to the public. See “Subsequent Events.”

Management Incentive Compensation Plans

The Board of Directors of the Company established a Management Incentive Compensation Plan (“MICP”) effective July 1, 1993, in which management
employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer), as well as certain additional discretionary participants chosen by the Chief Executive Officer, are eligible to
participate. The Chief Executive Officer is covered under a CEO Incentive Compensation Plan (“CICP”) which was established by the Board of Directors of the
Company effective January 1, 2004.

As of January 1, 2004, awards earned under the MICP and CICP vest immediately upon the distribution date which occurs during the first quarter of the

following fiscal year with half of the award payable in cash and half in common shares, so long as the participant remains an employee of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Awards earned under the MICP prior to 2004 vest over a three−year period with 50% of each award payable during the first quarter of the following fiscal

year and 25% payable on each of the next two annual distribution dates, so long as the participant remains an employee of the Company. The 50% on the first
distribution date is payable half in cash and half in common shares. The balance on the next two annual distribution dates is payable, at the election of the
participant, all in cash, all in common shares or half in cash and half in common shares or, for elections not made in a timely manner, all in common shares.

The maximum number of common shares issuable pursuant to awards made for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, under the two plans were

276,251 and 371,274, respectively, and these shares have been reserved under the Restricted Plan (as defined below).

The amounts charged to expense under the MICP and CICP were $1.5 million, $2.3 million and $1.6 million for the plan years 2005, 2004 and 2003,

respectively. As of December 31, 2005, $1.8 million was accrued related to these plans.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

In 1998, the shareholders approved the 1998 Employee Share Purchase Plan (“Share Purchase Plan”) which provides employees of the Company the
opportunity to purchase common shares through payroll deductions. The Company has reserved 1,500,000 common shares for issuance under the Share Purchase
Plan. An employee may elect to have payroll deductions made under the Share Purchase Plan for the purchase of common shares in an amount not to exceed
15% of the employee’s compensation.

Prior to December 31, 2004, the purchase price per common share was either (i) an amount equal to 85% of the fair market value of a common share on

the first day of a 24−month offering period or on the last day of such offering period, whichever was lower, or (ii) such higher price as may be set by the
Compensation Committee of the Board at the beginning of such offering period.

Effective January 1, 2005 the plan was amended to reduce future offering periods to three months and to change the purchase price per common share to

95% of the closing price of XOMA shares on the exercise date.

In 2005 and 2004, employees purchased 129,433 and 254,258 common shares, respectively under the Share Purchase Plan. Payroll deductions under the

Share Purchase Plan totaled $47,000, $0.3 million and $0.4 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On February 26, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”), which is designed to extend the

provisions of a similar rights plan originally adopted in October of 1993. Under the Rights Plan, Preference Share Purchase Rights (“Rights”) will be authorized
and granted at the rate of one Right for each common share held of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2003. Each Right entitles the registered holder of
common shares to buy a fraction of a share of the new series of Preference Shares (“Series A Preference Shares”) at an exercise price of $30.00, subject to
adjustment. The Rights will be exercisable and will detach from the common share, only if a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of the common shares,
announces a tender or exchange offer that if consummated will result in a person or group beneficially owning 20 percent or more of the common shares or if the
Board of Directors declares a person or group owning 10 percent or more of the outstanding common shares to be an Adverse Person (as defined in the Rights
Plan). Once exercisable, each Right will entitle the holder (other than the acquiring person) to purchase

F−25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

units of Series A Preference Share (or, in certain circumstances, common shares of the acquiring person) with a value of twice the Rights exercise price. The
Company will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.001 per Right at any time until the close of business on the tenth day after the Rights become
exercisable. The Rights will expire at the close of business on February 26, 2013.

the $29.6 million outstanding balance under the convertible subordinated note agreement.

Share Options and Warrants

At December 31, 2005, the Company had share−based compensation plans, as described below. The aggregate number of common shares that may be

issued under these plans is 11,765,000 shares.

Share Option Plan

Under the Company’s amended 1981 Share Option Plan (“Option Plan”), qualified and non−qualified options of the Company’s common shares may be

granted to certain employees and other individuals as determined by the Board of Directors at not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant.
Options granted under the Option Plan may be exercised when vested and expire generally ten years from the date of grant or three months from the date of
termination of employment (longer in the case of death or certain retirements). Options granted generally vest over four or five years. The Option Plan will
terminate on November 15, 2011. Up to 11,150,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the Option Plan. As of December 31, 2005, options covering
4,913,801 common shares were outstanding under the Option Plan.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company also has a Restricted Share Plan (“Restricted Plan”) which provides for the issuance of options or the direct sale of common shares to

certain employees and other individuals as determined by the Board of Directors at not less than 85% of fair market value of the common shares on the grant
date. Each option issued under the Restricted Plan will be a non−statutory share option under the federal tax laws and will have a term not in excess of ten years
from the grant date or three months from the date of termination of employment (longer in the case of death or certain retirements). Options granted generally
vest over four or five years. The Restricted Plan will terminate on November 15, 2011.

The Company has granted options with exercise prices at 85% of fair market value on the date of grant. Up to 1,500,000 shares are authorized for issuance

under the Restricted Plan, subject to the condition that not more

F−26

Table of Contents

than 11,150,000 shares are authorized under both the Option Plan and the Restricted Plan. As of December 31, 2005, options covering 183,795 common shares
were outstanding under the Restricted Plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The Company amortizes deferred compensation, which is the difference between the issuance price or exercise price as determined by the Board of

Directors and the fair market value of the shares at the date of sale or grant over the period benefited.

Directors Share Option Plan and Other Options

In 1992, the shareholders approved a Directors Share Option Plan (“Directors Plan”) which provides for the issuance of options to purchase common
shares to non−employee directors of the Company at 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Up to 600,000 shares are authorized for
issuance during the term of the Directors Plan. Options vest on the date of grant and have a term of up to ten years. As of December 31, 2005, options for
309,500 common shares were outstanding under the Directors Plan.

In addition, in July of 2002, the Company granted a non−qualified fully−vested option to a director to purchase 15,000 common shares at 100% of the fair

market value of the shares on the date of grant, which will expire in ten years. This option was not issued as part of the Directors Plan.

Warrants

In February of 2000, warrants to purchase up to 250,000 common shares at $5.00 per share were issued to the placement agents in conjunction with a

private placement of common shares. All of these warrants expired in February of 2005.

In July of 1999, warrants to purchase up to 150,000 common shares at $5.75 per share were issued to the placement agents in conjunction with a private

placement of common shares. All of these warrants expired in July of 2004.

XOMA issued 379,000 warrants to purchase common shares in January of 1999 and March of 1999. Each January and March 1999 warrant entitled the
holder thereof to purchase one common share, subject to anti−dilution adjustments. The remaining holder, OTAPE Investments LLC, exercised the remaining
warrants in a net issuance in January of 2004 for 15,500 common shares. As of December 31, 2005, none of these warrants were outstanding.

In July of 1998, warrants to purchase 250,000 common shares at $6.00 per share were issued to Incyte Corporation in partial payment of license fees.

These warrants expire in July of 2008. As of December 31, 2005, there were 125,000 of these warrants outstanding.

All of the above warrants were exercisable upon issuance. The fair value of the warrants issued to placement agents and advisors were determined using

the Black Scholes valuation method and capitalized as issuance costs associated with the equity financing and charged against paid−in capital.

Legal Proceedings

In April of 2005, a complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, in a lawsuit captioned Hanna v. Genentech, Inc. and XOMA (US)
LLC, No. 2005004386, by an alleged participant in one of the clinical trials of RAPTIVA ®. The lawsuit was thereafter removed to the United States District
Court, Northern District of Illinois, No. 05C 3251. The complaint asserts claims for alleged strict product liability and negligence against Genentech and the
Company based on injuries alleged to have occurred as a result of plaintiff’s treatment in the clinical trials. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory
damages alleged to be in excess of $100,000. Although the Company has not yet fully assessed the merits of this lawsuit, it intends to vigorously investigate and
pursue available defenses. The Company does not believe that this matter, or the resolution of this matter, will have a material impact upon its future
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The net increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance was $(15.8) million, $45.4 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004

and 2003, respectively. Approximately $32.3 million in unutilized net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) expired in 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“SFAS 109”) provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is
more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes the Company’s historical operating performance and carryback potential, the
Company has determined that total deferred tax assets should be fully offset by a valuation allowance.

The availability of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial limitation if it should be determined that

there has been a change in ownership of more than 50 percent of the value of the Company’s shares over a three year period.

In 2005, income tax expense was $3,000 compared with zero in 2004, the expense in 2005 is related to activities of our foreign operations.

10. Related Party Transactions

In 1993, the Company granted a short−term, secured loan to an officer, director and shareholder of the Company which has been extended annually. In

March of 2003, the outstanding principal and interest were paid in full.

11. Deferred Savings Plan

Under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Board of Directors adopted, effective June 1, 1987, a tax−qualified deferred compensation

plan for employees of the Company. Participants may make contributions which defer up to 50% of their eligible compensation per payroll period, up to a
maximum for 2005 of $14,000 (or $18,000 for employees over 50 years of age). The Company may, at its sole discretion, make contributions each plan year, in
cash or in the Company’s common shares, in amounts which match up to 50% of the salary deferred by the participants. The expense related to these
contributions was $0.6 million; $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

12.

Subsequent Events

In February of 2006, the Company completed an exchange offer with holders of its 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 in which the Company

exchanged $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its new 6.5% Convertible SNAPs SM due 2012 (New Notes) for all $60.0 million aggregate principal
amount of its then outstanding convertible senior notes due 2012. XOMA also issued an additional $12.0 million of New Notes to the public for cash at a public
offering price of 104% of principal, or $12.5 million. The New Notes are initially

F−30

Table of Contents

XOMA Ltd.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

convertible into approximately 38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of its common shares per $1,000 principal amount of New Note,
which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share. Before February 10, 2010, the Company may not redeem the New Notes.
On or after February 10, 2010, the Company may redeem any or all of the New Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In
addition, XOMA may automatically convert some or all of the New Notes on or prior to the maturity date if the closing price of its common shares has exceeded
150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading day period ending within five trading days prior to the
notice of auto−conversion. If the Company elects to automatically convert, or if holders elect to voluntarily convert, some or all of the New Notes on or prior to
February 10, 2010, it must pay or provide for additional interest equal to four years’ worth of interest less any interest paid or provided for, on the principal
amount so converted, prior to the date of conversion. Additional interest, if any, shall be paid in cash or, solely at the Company’s option and subject to certain
limitations, in its common shares valued at the conversion price then in effect.

In accounting for the New Notes, XOMA will apply guidance as set forth in EITF 96−19, SFAS 133, EITF 05−7, EITF 00−19, and EITF 01−6 as follows.

The exchange offer is a modification of existing debt, rather than extinguishment. The additional interest payment upon conversion is an embedded derivative
requiring separate accounting. The Company considered the provisions of EITF 05−2 and concluded that this is not conventional convertible debt.

In accordance with SFAS 133, XOMA is required to separately account for the additional interest payment feature of the New Notes as an embedded

derivative instrument, which must be measured at fair value and reflected on the balance sheet in “other liabilities.” Changes in the fair value of the embedded
derivative will be recognized in earnings as a component of other income (expense). The Company has estimated the fair value of the additional interest payment
feature to be $5.8 million, including approximately $1.0 million related to the New Notes issued for cash, based on current information including share price. For
the New Notes issued in the exchange offer, this amount will be subtracted from the carrying value of the debt, reflected as a debt discount, which will be
amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method through the date the notes are scheduled to mature and separately reported as a derivative
liability. For the New Notes issued in the new money offering, this amount will be deducted from the proceeds.

In accounting for the New Notes, XOMA will also apply the guidance set forth in EITF 05−7, which specifies the appropriate basis to account for the

auto−conversion feature within the exchange offer as it is a change to the initial conversion option. Under this guidance, the change in fair value of the
auto−conversion feature before and after the modification will be reflected as a debt discount/premium and additional paid−in capital over the life of the New
Notes. The debt discount/premium will be amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. The Company has estimated the fair value change of the
auto−conversion feature to be $0.0 million based on current information including share price, which is reflected as a debt premium.

XOMA also applied the guidance set forth in EITF 00−27, which specifies the appropriate basis to account for contingent beneficial conversion premiums,

and noted that no BCF existed for either the New Notes issued in the exchange offer or the New Notes issued for cash.

XOMA Reports 2005 Results
*********************************************************************

Significant Revenue Growth and Other Key Milestones Attained in 2005

Berkeley, CA – March 8, 2006 — XOMA Ltd. (NASDAQ: XOMA), a leader in the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics for cancer and
immunological disorders, today announced its results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005.

Total revenues in 2005 were $18.7 million, compared with $3.7 million in 2004. The increase was due to several factors, including increases in royalty revenues
from the sale of Genentech, Inc.’s (NYSE: DNA) RAPTIVA ®, revenues from our arrangements with Genentech, Chiron Corporation (NASDAQ: CHIR) and the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and upfront and milestone payments related to the out−licensing of our products and technologies,
and other collaborative arrangements.

Operating expenses in 2005 were $54.7 million compared with $81.8 million in 2004. The reduction in expense was principally due to a reduction in spending on
MLN2222, reduced spending as a result of the termination of our collaboration with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALXN) and reduced spending on
RAPTIVA® following the restructuring of our collaboration arrangement with Genentech. These reductions were partially offset by increased spending on our
collaboration arrangements with Chiron, Aphton Corporation (NASDAQ: APHT), Lexicon Genetics (NASDAQ: LEXG), and our R&D work for NIAID.

Net income was $2.8 million or $0.03 per share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, compared with a net loss of $78.9 million or $0.93 per share for the
year ended December 31, 2004. The improvement in net income was primarily a result of the restructuring of our Genentech arrangement and subsequent
extinguishment of our obligation to pay $40.9 million under a development loan from Genentech, which was recorded as a gain on extinguishment of debt in
2005.

Cash, cash equivalents and short−term investments at December 31, 2005 were $43.5 million, compared with $24.3 million at December 31, 2004. This $19.2
million increase primarily reflects net proceeds from our convertible debt financing of $56.4 million and the drawdown on our Chiron loan facility of $12.4
million, offset by cash used in operations of $44.2 million, cash used in capital investing activities of $4.8 million and cash used in other financing activities of
$0.4 million.

A more detailed discussion of the financials is provided below and in XOMA’s 10−K filing.

“I am pleased with the progress we made in 2005 in demonstrating the power of our business model and our goals of moving the company towards profitability,
broadening the product pipeline, and reducing our financial and development risk,” said John L. Castello, President, Chairman and CEO of XOMA. “In addition
to the growth of RAPTIVA® sales for psoriasis in the US, Genentech’s international partner Serono, S.A. continues to gain approval in more countries and is
growing international sales. Our oncology collaboration with Chiron yielded the commencement of clinical trials for CHIR−12.12 in two indications, and we
initiated a collaboration with Lexicon. Our strategy utilizing our manufacturing assets to generate revenue resulted in two significant contracts. During the year,
we also made important progress on our own internal development programs, including those for BPI and an exciting new compound, XMA 005.2.”

In March, XOMA announced that it was awarded a $15 million, 18−month contract from NIAID to produce three botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal
antibodies designed to protect U.S. citizens against the harmful effects of biological agents used in bioterrorism. This project will be 100% funded with
Federal funds from NIAID under Contract No. HHSN266200500004C.

In April of 2005, we announced the initiation of a Phase I study for patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia under our previously announced
multi−product antibody development and commercialization agreement with Chiron. Then in October of 2005, we initiated a second Phase I study for
patients with multiple myeloma. CHIR− 12.12 is an anti−CD40 antagonist antibody intended as a treatment for B−cell malignancies. This antibody has a
dual mechanism of action blocking a tumor cell growth and survival signal as well as recruiting immune effector cells to kill tumor cells.

In June, XOMA completed a license to Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK) to use XOMA’s Bacterial Cell Expression technology for phage display with
potential use in the discovery of antibody products. Merck was also granted an option to use XOMA’s BCE technology to manufacture antibodies. XOMA
received an access fee and will receive milestone payments and royalties on future sales of any products subject to the license.

Also in June, XOMA and Lexicon formed a collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets discovered by Lexicon.
The collaboration is designed to combine Lexicon’s target discovery and biotherapeutics capabilities with XOMA’s antibody generation, process
development and manufacturing expertise to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel therapeutic antibodies. Costs and profits are
allocated 65% to Lexicon and 35% to XOMA.

In September, XOMA announced that it had established a strategic manufacturing relationship with Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CBST), with the
initial goal of manufacturing a two antibody product for Cubist’s Phase III trials of its HepeX−B™ biologic.

In November, XOMA and Affitech AS of Norway signed an antibody collaboration and cross−license agreement for the development of antibody products
using Affitech’s phagemid display−based Breitling antibody libraries, CBAS™ technology and the AffiScreen™ high−

throughput screening system. As part of the agreement Affitech will also build patient−derived libraries for XOMA and discover new antibodies against
XOMA targets using Affitech’s patient libraries.

Key events of early 2006

•

In February, XOMA announced that $60 million of the Company’s 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes, or 100% of the total outstanding, were tendered in
exchange for $60 million of 6.5% Convertible SNAPS sm. The company also issued $12 million of additional Convertible SNAPS sm. Due to investor
demand, the size of the offering was increased from $10 million to $12 million and the public offering price was set at 104% of principal.

Financial Discussion

Revenues

Total revenues for 2005 were $18.7 million compared with $3.7 million in 2004. License and collaborative fees revenues were $5.1 million in 2005 compared
with $3.6 million in 2004. Contract and other revenues were $7.4 million in 2005, compared with $0 in 2004, reflecting the contribution of fees from our service
arrangements with NIAID, Genentech and Chiron. The $10.0 million upfront payment received from Chiron related to our collaboration agreement in oncology
that was initiated in February of 2004 is being recognized as revenue over the five year expected term of the agreement. Royalties in 2005 totaled $6.2 million
compared to $0.1 million in 2004, reflecting the contribution from a full year of RAPTIVA ® sales.

Revenues for the next several years will be largely determined by the timing and extent of royalties generated by worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ® and by the
establishment and nature of future manufacturing, out−licensing and collaboration arrangements.

Expenses

In 2005, research and development expenses were $39.9 million, compared with $49.8 million in 2004. The $9.9 million decrease in 2005 primarily reflects
reduced spending on MLN2222 announced in October 2004, reduced spending due to the termination of the Alexion collaboration in the second quarter of 2005,
reduced spending on RAPTIVA® following the restructuring of our collaboration arrangement with Genentech in January 2005, as well as reduced spending on
XMP.629 and other proprietary new product developments through the year. These reductions were partially offset by increased spending on our collaboration
arrangements with Chiron, Aphton and Lexicon, our research and development work for NIAID, and our internal development of XMA005.2. In 2005, general
and administrative expenses were $14.8 million compared with $15.6 million in 2004.

Collaborative arrangement expenses were zero in 2005 following the restructuring of our agreement with Genentech. In 2004, these expenses, which related
exclusively to RAPTIVA®, were $16.4 million. These amounts reflect XOMA’s 25% share of commercialization costs for RAPTIVA ® in excess of Genentech’s
revenues less cost of goods sold, research and development cost sharing adjustments, and royalties on sales outside the US. Because of the restructuring of the
arrangement with Genentech, from 2005 forward, XOMA will not share in operating costs or R&D expenses relating to this product, but will receive royalties on
worldwide sales.

Long−term Debt

At December 31, 2005, XOMA’s balance sheet showed $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due in 2012 and $12.4 million of long term debt to
Chiron. The long term debt to Chiron represents XOMA’s draw down of a $50 million loan facility established to facilitate XOMA’s participation in its oncology
collaboration with Chiron.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short−term investments at December 31, 2005 were $43.5 million, compared with $24.3 million at December 31, 2004. This $19.2
million increase primarily reflects net proceeds from our convertible debt financing of $56.4 million and the drawdown on our Chiron loan facility of $12.4
million, offset by cash used in operations of $44.2 million, and cash used in capital investing activities of $4.8 million.

Product Highlights

RAPTIVA® (Efalizumab): Collaboration with Genentech

RAPTIVA® was developed in the US through a partnership between Genentech and XOMA, and received FDA approval in October of 2003 as the first
FDA−approved biologic therapy to provide continuous control of chronic moderate−to−severe plaque psoriasis in adults age 18 or older who are candidates for
systemic therapy or phototherapy. Patients can self−administer the drug as a single, once weekly subcutaneous injection after training by a healthcare
professional.

Genentech has been marketing RAPTIVA® in the United States since November of 2003. Outside the United States and Japan, RAPTIVA ® is sold by Serono,
which announced in October of 2004 that it had received European Commission Marketing Authorization for RAPTIVA ® in patients with moderate−to−severe
chronic plaque psoriasis for whom other systemic treatments or phototherapy have been inadequate or inappropriate. By the end of 2005, Serono had launched
RAPTIVA® in over forty countries worldwide.

Genentech management has informed XOMA that it has decided not to purse the previously announced clinical trial for RAPTIVA ® in atopic dermatitis.

Oncology Therapeutic Antibodies Program: Collaboration with Chiron

In March of 2004, Chiron and XOMA announced a worldwide, exclusive, multiple product collaboration agreement to develop and commercialize antibody
products for the treatment of cancer. Under the agreement, the companies will jointly research, develop, and commercialize multiple antibody product candidates,
sharing development and commercialization expenses, as well as revenues, generally on a 70−30 basis, with XOMA’s share being 30 percent. Financial terms
included an initial payment to XOMA of $10 million and a loan facility of up to $50 million to fund up to 75 percent of XOMA’s share of development
expenses. Chiron’s profit share is subject to a limited upward adjustment, which in turn may be reduced if XOMA achieves certain milestones or if Chiron elects
to extend the program.

CHIR−12.12 is the first product candidate selected under our agreement with Chiron. CHIR 12.12 is an anti−CD40 antagonist monoclonal antibody intended as a
treatment for B−cell malignancies. This antibody has a dual mechanism of action blocking a tumor cell growth and survival signal as well as recruiting immune
effector cells to kill tumor cells. In April of 2005, we announced the initiation of Phase I study for patients with advance chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”).
In October of 2005, we initiated a second Phase I study for patients with multiple myeloma (“MM”).

Metabolic Disease Target with Lexicon

In June of 2005, XOMA completed a cost and profit sharing agreement with Lexicon under which Lexicon provides scientifically validated antibody targets and
XOMA discovers and develops antibodies against those targets. The initial focus of the collaboration is a metabolic disease target, which is a secreted protein
involved in metabolic functions such as insulin sensitivity and weight gain, and was identified through Lexicon’s Knockout Technology. Antibodies to this target
may be developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic diseases. XOMA’s share of costs and future profits in this collaboration is 35%.

News Release

BPI Program: NEUPREX®

NEUPREX® is an injectible formulation of rBPI21, a modified recombinant fragment of human bactericidal/permeability−increasing protein (“BPI”). BPI is a
human host−defense protein made by a type of white blood cell that is involved in the body’s defenses against microbial infection.

In October of 2003, in conjunction with Children’s Medical Center Dallas, we announced the initiation of an open−label, single center, dose escalation,
investigator−sponsored, Phase I/II clinical trial of NEUPREX ® in pediatric patients with congenital heart abnormalities requiring open heart surgery associated
with cardiopulmonary bypass. The study is investigating dosing, efficacy endpoints and safety to assess the potential for conducting larger, additional studies.

The safety profile of NEUPREX® continues to be an attractive clinical feature evidenced by ongoing investigator−sponsored studies. Several clinical
investigators plan to conduct studies in other target indications including burn injury and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (“HSCT”). The HSCT
studies may provide proofs of concept for acute radiation syndrome for possible biodefense application. We have previously tested NEUPREX ® in clinical trials
for several infectious and inflammatory conditions including meningococcemia and are evaluating future options for developing the product in multiple
indications

In Europe, we submitted an application to the European Medicines Agency (“EMEA”) for orphan drug designation in meningococcal disease.

XMA005.2

XMA005.2 is a high−affinity, Human Engineered ™ monoclonal antibody with potent inhibitory activity against its inflammatory target. We are currently
evaluating XMA005.2 in preclinical studies. Possible indications include osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. We plan to start clinical testing for XMA005.2 in
the first half of 2007.

MLN2222: Collaboration with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In December of 2003, we announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical program for MLN2222, a complement inhibitor for coronary artery bypass graft surgery,
targeting vascular inflammation associated with such surgery, to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. In October of
2004, we announced the amendment of our agreements with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNM) whereby Millennium assumed responsibility
for all development work and expenses for MLN2222 upon initiation of Phase II testing. We have now completed a Phase I trial of MLN2222 and have
transferred the relevant clinical data from the Phase I trial to Millennium. We are obligated to continue to provide quantities of bulk drug substance and services
requested and paid for by Millennium for future clinical trials. We will be entitled to receive an undisclosed royalty on future net sales of MLN2222, as well as
payments related to the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones.

Anti−gastrin Mab with Aphton

In September of 2004, we announced a worldwide collaboration to develop treatments for gastrointestinal (“GI”) and other gastrin−sensitive cancers using
anti−gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Antibodies to be developed under the collaboration will bind and neutralize the hormone gastrin 17 that is believed to be
involved in tumor progression in GI cancers. Gastrin expression and the appearance of gastrin receptors have been associated with increasing malignant
characteristics of GI tumors and with poorer prognostic outcomes. Specifically, gastrin has been shown to be involved in the progression of colorectal, stomach,
liver and pancreatic cancers and inhibiting gastrin may inhibit such growth.

News Release

ING−1 Licensed to Triton

ING−1 is a Human Engineered™ monoclonal antibody developed by us to specifically target tumor cells in adenocarcinoma patients. ING−1 antibodies bind with
high affinity to the Ep−CAM antigen and recruit host immune cells to kill the cancer cell. We have completed three Phase I clinical studies of ING−1, testing
both intravenous and subcutaneous formulations in patients with advanced or refractory adenocarcinomas.

In October of 2004, we entered into an agreement with Triton BioSystems, Inc. under which Triton has in−licensed the exclusive worldwide right to use the
ING−1 monoclonal antibody with Triton’s Targeted Nano−Therapeutics™ (“TNT™”) System. The TNT™ System is an innovative product that ablates tumors
by using tiny magnetic spheres delivered, to the tumor, systemically with antibodies and heated by means of a magnetic field directed to the tumor. The
combination of the ING−1 antibody with the TNT™ System is intended to create a novel, highly selective, safe, and effective treatment for adenocarcinomas,
such as breast, colorectal, lung, ovary and prostate. ING−1 remains available for licensing outside the field covered by the Triton license.

XMP.629 for acne

Despite previous positive preclinical and Phase I studies, preliminary results of a Phase II trial with XMP.629 gel in 262 mild−to−moderate acne patients showed
an inconclusive clinical benefit of XMP.629 compared to vehicle gel. There was no discernable dose response and the vehicle (placebo) response was higher than
anticipated. The drug appeared safe and well−tolerated. XOMA is conducting further analysis to determine whether and how to continue clinical development of
the product.

About XOMA

XOMA is a pioneer and leader in the discovery, development and manufacture of therapeutic antibodies, with a therapeutic focus that includes cancer and
immune diseases. XOMA has a royalty interest in RAPTIVA ® (efalizumab), a monoclonal antibody product marketed to treat moderate−to−severe plaque
psoriasis. XOMA’s discovery and development capabilities include antibody phage display, bacterial cell expression, and Human Engineering™ technologies.
The company pipeline also includes proprietary and collaborative programs in preclinical and clinical development.

Certain statements contained herein related to the sufficiency of XOMA’s cash resources, the company’s potential for profitability, future revenues and future
sales and development of RAPTIVA® , as well as other statements related to the progress and timing of product development, present or future licensing,
collaborative or financing arrangements or that otherwise relate to future periods, are forward−looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate. Actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the biotechnology industry and for companies engaged in the development
of new products in a regulated market.

News Release

Among other things, the sufficiency of cash resources could be shortened if expenditures are made earlier or in larger amounts than anticipated or are
unanticipated or if funds are not available on acceptable terms; the Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend on the success of the sales efforts for
RAPTIVA®, the Company’s ability to effectively anticipate and manage its expenditures and the availability of capital market and other financing; future
revenues will be largely determined by the timing and extent of royalties generated by worldwide sales of RAPTIVA ® and by the establishment and nature of
future manufacturing, outlicensing and collaboration arrangements; the sales efforts for RAPTIVA ® may not be successful if Genentech or its partner, Serono
SA, fails to meet its commercialization goals, due to the strength of the competition, if physicians do not adopt the product as treatment for their patients or if any
important remaining regulatory approvals are not obtained; and future development of RAPTIVA ® may not be successful for reasons related to safety or
efficacy.

These and other risks, including those related to the results of pre−clinical testing, the timing or results of pending and future clinical trials (including the design
and progress of clinical trials; safety and efficacy of the products being tested; action, inaction or delay by the FDA, European or other regulators or their
advisory bodies; and analysis or interpretation by, or submission to, these entities or others of scientific data), changes in the status of the existing collaborative
relationships, availability of additional licensing or collaboration opportunities, the ability of collaborators and other partners to meet their obligations, market
demand for products, scale up and marketing capabilities, competition, international operations, share price volatility, XOMA’s financing needs and
opportunities, uncertainties regarding the status of biotechnology patents, uncertainties as to the cost of protecting intellectual property and risks associated
with XOMA’s status as a Bermuda company, are described in more detail in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10−K and in other SEC filings.
