Bringing new antibody therapeutics to the patients who urgently need them requires the combined talents of 
skilled researchers, an integrated technology platform, and the ability to tap the best antibody technologies 
from around the world. At XOMA, more than 300 people are working together to produce innovative antibody 
therapeutics, like XOMA 052, that treat debilitating diseases in new ways. 

Our researchers hail from some of the most well-recognized universities and antibody companies in the world. 
Through XOMA’s collaborations with major pharmaceutical companies and the licensing of XOMA’s proprietary 
technologies, our teams have played an integral role in the development of antibody therapeutics such as 
RAPTIVA®, LUCENTIS® and CIMZIA®. 

Today, XOMA’s fully integrated product development infrastructure allows us to move antibody products 
effi ciently from preclinical discovery through product launch. Lead selection, optimization, process development, 
and production all happen here. 

Talented people, integrated infrastructure and powerful technologies – the keys to XOMA’s excellence.

Our success propels us forward.

At XOMA, our efforts in fi ve distinct business areas - proprietary products, 
technology licensing, antibody collaborations, biodefense contracts, 
and marketed product royalties - fuel continued scientifi c innovation and 
the discovery and development of novel and proprietary products. 

Working with world-class pharmaceutical partners on multiple 
projects, we have developed state-of-the-art technology and systems.
In our biodefense work with the U.S. government, we have expanded 
our development and manufacturing abilities, including the production 
of a breakthrough multiple-antibody cocktail, an important milestone 
in biodefense technology. Our own internal research teams have 
enhanced our antibody production capabilities through the use 
of proprietary multiple gene vectors. Using our technologies in a 
streamlined and highly effi cient manner, we are able to discover 
and develop rare and potent antibodies, like XOMA 052.

Alongside our proprietary work, XOMA’s base of collaborations 
includes new programs with Schering-Plough and Takeda. 
Sales of XOMA-enabled royalty-bearing products also made 
continued progress. In 2007, Genentech’s LUCENTIS® was approved 
for sale in the EU, and its worldwide sales reached $1.2 billion. 
For the same period, RAPTIVA® for psoriasis reached worldwide 
sales of $213 million.

XOMA-enabled products such as RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS® are already changing the way patients with major 
diseases are treated. Now, we are working on next-generation therapeutic antibody candidates focused on cancer, 
metabolic disorders and autoimmune diseases. 

Diabetes has been declared a national epidemic, with infl ammation identifi ed as a primary cause. Blocking IL-1 could 
represent a novel approach to diabetes by addressing this infl ammatory process and its impact on the pancreas and 
its insulin-producing cells. An important study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007 demonstrated 
that Type 2 diabetes patients treated with an approved IL-1 blocker, Kineret®, experienced a statistically signifi cant 
improvement in the control of blood glucose and reduction of systemic infl ammation. Published clinical studies using 
Kineret® in several other diseases have suggested therapeutic improvement as well. 

Based on this body of clinical experience with Kineret®, we believe that our anti-infl ammatory antibody candidate, 
XOMA 052, with its high binding affi nity and effi cient targeting of the IL-1 beta ligand, has the potential to benefi t 
patients with diabetes and other IL-1 mediated diseases.

We are driven by the opportunity to create novel life-changing therapeutic products using our technologies, 
talent and expertise. XOMA’s future will be defi ned by the impact of our products, and those of our partners, 
on the health of patients living with debilitating diseases. 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS

In 2007, therapeutic antibodies took center stage in drug development as pharmaceutical 
companies declared their need for them through multiple collaborations and acquisitions. 
And why not, with annual worldwide antibody sales reaching $23 billion and expected to 
grow rapidly. A leading innovator of therapeutic antibodies, XOMA achieved its dual goals 
in 2007 of building multiple revenue streams and advancing new proprietary drug candidates 
into clinical development.

XOMA’s revenues more than doubled to $84 million in 2007 as a result of the Company’s 
success in establishing a diversifi ed business consisting of technology licensing, antibody 
collaborations, biodefense contracts, and marketed product royalties. We recorded our 
largest technology license payment yet with $30 million recognized in the third quarter when 
we granted a non-exclusive license to Pfi zer for our bacterial cell expression technology. 
Expanded antibody collaborations with Takeda and Schering-Plough Research Institute and 
ongoing biodefense work helped drive up revenues by 80% compared to 2006. Royalties 
from sales of RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS® rose over 60% from 2006. 

Building on these successes, we are moving forward with the clinical development of XOMA 052, 
our anti-infl ammatory drug candidate that targets the IL-1 mediated pathways of infl ammation 
underlying multiple diseases. In 2007 we started two Phase 1 clinical studies of XOMA 052 in 
Type 2 diabetes patients. Based on clinical studies of another IL-1 blocker, we believe that our 
IL-1 blocker, XOMA 052, has the potential to address major unmet medical needs in diabetes 
and other indications. To increase our probability of success and maximize XOMA 052’s potential 
benefi t, we plan to study XOMA 052 in infl ammatory indications including rheumatoid arthritis, 
systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and acute gout. 

Today, XOMA is able to self-fund a signifi cant portion of its research activities and development 
programs, placing it in an attractive position for a biotechnology company. Worldwide antibody 
revenues are forecast to grow from $23 billion to $40 billion in 2012. XOMA-enabled products 
like RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS® represent approximately 6% of the estimated $23 billion in annual 
therapeutic antibody sales. As a result, we expect our business to continue to grow. Our long-term 
goal is to continue increasing the percentage of therapeutic products made with XOMA technology.

In closing, I want to thank the patients who participate in our clinical studies and the clinicians 
who conduct them. I am also grateful to our highly talented employees for their outstanding efforts, 
our world-class collaborators, and to you, our shareholders, for your continued support. 
We look forward to another year of achievement and to continuing to advance antibody therapeutics
that have the potential to signifi cantly improve the lives of patients.

Sincerely,

Steven B. Engle 
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Offi cer and President 
XOMA Ltd.

Business

Overview

PART I

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

focused on the discovery, development and manufacture of therapeutic antibodies. XOMA uses its expertise,
technologies and capabilities to build a product pipeline that includes multiple proprietary and collaborative
development programs. The Company’s lead product candidate is XOMA 052, a high affinity anti-IL-1 beta
antibody with the potential to treat multiple inflammatory diseases of large unmet need. XOMA 052 is currently
in Phase 1 clinical studies of Type 2 diabetes patients.

XOMA has multiple revenue streams and generates revenues from product royalties, technology licenses,

development collaborations and biodefense contracts. The Company receives royalties on two approved
products, RAPTIVA®, which is marketed globally for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, and
LUCENTIS®, which is marketed globally for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular
degeneration. XOMA has established on-going technology licensing programs for certain of its proprietary
technologies, which have attracted numerous significant licensees including Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”). The
Company’s development collaborations include arrangements with Novartis AG (“Novartis”), Schering Plough
Research Institute (“SPRI”) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”). XOMA’s biodefense
initiatives currently include a contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”)
to develop three anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies.

The Company has a premier antibody discovery and development platform that incorporates leading

antibody phage display libraries and XOMA’s proprietary bacterial cell expression (“BCE”), Human
Engineering™, and mammalian cell expression (“MCE”) technologies. BCE is an enabling technology for the
discovery and manufacture of antibodies and other proteins. As a result, more than 50 pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies have signed BCE licenses.

Strategy

We are advancing a pipeline of biotherapeutic products using our proven expertise, technologies and
capabilities from antibody discovery through product development. We expand our pipeline by developing
proprietary products and technologies, collaborating with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and
providing contract services to government agencies responsible for biodefense. We fund a portion of our
development activities through multiple revenue streams, including product royalties, technology licenses,
collaborations and biodefense contracts. We believe the global demand for therapeutic antibodies and related
products will continue to grow and that as it does, the revenues we receive through royalties, licenses and product
sales will increase. The principal elements of our strategy are to:

•

•

Focus on advancing our near-term proprietary pipeline. Using our internal capabilities and technology
platform, we discovered XOMA 052, a highly potent antibody that targets the pro-inflammatory
cytokine, IL-1 beta. In 2007 we began Phase 1 clinical studies of XOMA 052 in patients with Type 2
diabetes and, contingent on the outcome of these investigations we plan to initiate clinical studies of
XOMA 052 in other indications in 2008, including gout, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (“sJIA”),
and rheumatoid arthritis. We believe XOMA 052 has the potential to treat multiple diseases of unmet
medical need and that this potential increases the product’s likelihood of successful development. We
plan to advance XOMA 629, a synthetic peptide compound derived from bactericidal/permeability-
increasing protein (“BPI”), a human host-defense protein that is one of the body’s early lines of defense
against invading microorganisms.

Focus on mid-term and longer-term opportunities to enhance our portfolio of proprietary products
through internal discovery programs, licensing, acquisition, and in-kind product trades. We intend to
continue internal drug discovery efforts and advance multiple preclinical programs to generate new

1

•

product candidates that can expand our proprietary pipeline. We plan to continue to identify, evaluate
and pursue the acquisition of complementary and strategically valuable products and technologies. We
will also pursue non-cash, in-kind product trades as part of future antibody development collaborations
and agreements for access to our antibody technologies.

Continue to pursue opportunities to discover, develop and manufacture therapeutic antibodies for
biodefense. We have a successful history of providing contract services to the U.S. government for the
development of anti-botulinum neurotoxin antibodies. We intend to pursue additional contracts with
the U.S. government for the development of anti-botulinum neurotoxin antibody products, the
development of antibodies against other biodefense threats, and the manufacture and stock-piling of
antibodies for biodefense. In addition, we intend to leverage our experience and expertise in biodefense
and pursue business opportunities with allied governments in Europe and Asia that have similar
biodefense needs.

Expand our collaboration agreements for antibody discovery and development. We believe we possess
a comprehensive and highly advanced suite of technologies and capabilities in the discovery,
optimization, development and production of antibody products. Major pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies collaborate with us for access to our technologies and capabilities. These
collaborations provide us with rights in strategically valuable products and revenues including upfront
payments, annual license fees, research and development manufacturing revenue, milestones and
royalties on sales. We intend to expand our collaboration activity through existing and/or new
collaboration agreements.

Increase licensing revenues from existing and future proprietary technologies. We have a history of
generating significant revenue from our proprietary technologies, including our BCE technology,
which we have licensed to more than 50 companies in exchange for complementary technologies,
licensing fees, royalties and other revenues. Our technology licensing activities generated $36.5 million
in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007, including $30.0 million in BCE license fees from
our August 2007 contract with Pfizer. We also license our Human Engineering (“HE™”) technology,
which allows modification of non-human monoclonal antibodies to reduce or eliminate detectable
immunogenicity and make them suitable for medical purposes in humans. We believe that we can
continue to generate significant revenues from BCE, HE™ and other proprietary technologies in the
future.

Proprietary Products

As part of our strategy, we are focusing our technology and resources on advancing the emerging

proprietary pipeline. Below is a summary of our proprietary products.

•

•

XOMA 052 (formerly XMA005.2) is a Human Engineered™ monoclonal antibody with a high-
affinity and high-potency inhibitory activity against its inflammatory target. This high potency means
that it may allow us to evaluate less frequent dosing than most current therapeutics. We are currently
conducting two Phase 1 clinical trials in type II diabetes patients, one in the U.S. and one in Europe.
Based on positive results in the Phase 1 type II diabetes studies, we also plan to pursue the evaluation
of XOMA 052 in the treatment of gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and sJIA.

XOMA 629 (a reformulation of XMP.629) is a topical anti-bacterial formulation of a peptide derived
from bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (“BPI”), an integral part of the protective human
immune system. XOMA is developing XOMA 629 as a possible treatment for superficial skin
infections. The emergence of infections resistant to current antibiotics has encouraged our researchers
to review the properties of the compound for its dermatological applications. Based on an internal
evaluation of this program in 2007 the Company has chosen to focus its development efforts on the use
of this product in superficial skin infections, including impetigo and the eradication of staphylococcus
aureus, including methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”).

•

Other Products: We are pursuing additional opportunities to further broaden our pre-clinical product
pipeline. These include product development collaborations with other pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies and evaluations of product in-licensing, in-kind product trades and
acquisition opportunities. No assurance can be given regarding the timing or likelihood of future
collaborative arrangements or product licensure.

Partnership Products

XOMA partners with world-class organizations in research of new products. Below is a list of current

products in research through collaborations.

HCD122 (formerly CHIR-12.12) with Novartis (formerly Chiron Corporation): We have a 30%
interest in HCD122, which is a fully human anti-CD40 antagonist antibody intended as a treatment for
B-cell mediated diseases, including malignancies and autoimmune diseases. 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. HCD122 is the first product candidate selected under the multi-product
antibody development and commercialization agreement for the treatment of cancer announced by
Chiron and us, initiated in March of 2004. The first Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application was
submitted in December of 2004. In April of 2005, we announced the initiation of a Phase 1 study for
patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”) and in October of 2005, we initiated a
second Phase 1 study for patients with multiple myeloma (“MM”). Phase 1 trials of HCD122 in
patients with relapsed and refractory MM and CLL are ongoing. We expect to expand clinical
development with one or more additional indications in 2008. In addition, there are multiple
undisclosed preclinical stage programs that we are investigating as a result of our collaboration with
Novartis.

Therapeutic Antibodies with SPRI: SPRI is part of the Schering Plough Corporation, a global
pharmaceutical company which reported net sales of $12.7 billion in 2007. During 2006, we signed a
contract with SPRI for therapeutic monoclonal antibody discovery and development against multiple
targets selected by them, and we are currently conducting multiple discovery programs through this
partnership.

Therapeutic Antibodies with Takeda: Takeda is a major Japanese pharmaceutical company which
reported net sales of $11.1 billion in 2007. During 2006, we signed a contract with Takeda for
therapeutic monoclonal antibody discovery and development against multiple targets selected by them,
and we are currently conducting multiple discovery programs through this partnership.

• Metabolic Disease Target with Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Lexicon”): In June of 2005, we

began a collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize multiple antibody drugs for metabolic
disease targets discovered by Lexicon using their proprietary gene knock-out technology. The initial
targets are secreted proteins involved in various metabolic functions. When knocked out, the target
genes result in mouse strains that display unique and desirable physiological functions, suggesting an
important role of the target in disease. Antibodies to these targets may be developed to treat a variety of
metabolic diseases.

Royalties and Technology Licenses

Royalties

XOMA earns royalties in the mid- and low-single digits on two marketed antibody products and may earn

future royalties on a third product that has been accepted for regulatory approval. These products are listed below
in order of their development status, beginning with the most advanced:

•

RAPTIVA® (Efalizumab) with Genentech: Genentech is a major biotechnology company which
reported revenues of $11.7 billion for 2007. RAPTIVA® is a humanized therapeutic monoclonal

3

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 September
of 2004, Merck Serono S.A. (“Merck Serono”, formerly Serono S.A.), Genentech’s international
marketing partner for RAPTIVA®, announced that RAPTIVA® had received approval for use in the
European Union. By the end of 2006, Merck Serono had launched RAPTIVA® in over fifty countries
worldwide.

In 2006, Merck Serono announced the results of the 24-week Clinical Experience Acquired with
RAPTIVA® (“CLEAR”) study to evaluate RAPTIVA® in moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients and
refractory patients. The CLEAR study confirmed the efficacy and safety of RAPTIVA® during the
initial 12-week treatment period and demonstrated a continued improvement in clinical response for
patients following an extended treatment. RAPTIVA® was also found to be equally effective in the
subgroup of patients refractory to at least two systemic therapies. In 2006, Merck Serono also initiated
CLEAREST™ in Europe with a seven year trial, the first large-scale pharmaco-epidemiological study
of RAPTIVA® in psoriasis in Europe. The primary objective of this prospective, seven year cohort
study is to gather additional long-term safety data of RAPTIVA® in 7,000 adult patients with
moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis over approximately 18,000 patient years of clinical treatment. In
February of 2007, Genentech announced results from a 12-week Phase 4 study of RAPTIVA® that
showed statistically significant improvement in patients with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque
psoriasis involving the hands and feet. The study was the first randomized, double blind, placebo-
controlled trial to evaluate a biologic agent in the treatment of this uniquely challenged subpopulation
of psoriasis patients.

In 2007, we earned royalties of $10.6 million from sales of RAPTIVA®.

LUCENTIS® (ranibizumab injection) by Genentech: LUCENTIS® is an antibody fragment against
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular
degeneration, which causes central vision loss in the elderly, brought on by deterioration of the macula.
LUCENTIS® was approved by the FDA in June of 2006 and in the European Union, where it is
distributed by Novartis in January of 2007. It is the first marketed therapeutic product manufactured
under a license using our BCE technology.

In 2007, we earned royalties of $6.1 million from sales of LUCENTIS®.

CIMZIA® (certolizumab pegol) by UCB: CIMZIA® is an anti-TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) alpha
antibody fragment and is marketed in Switzerland for Crohn’s disease. The FDA accepted the
regulatory application of CIMZIA® for rheumatoid arthritis in the U.S. in February of 2008. UCB has
stated that regulatory filing in Europe for rheumatoid arthritis is planned for the first half of 2008.
CIMZIA® was also submitted for regulatory approval for Crohn’s disease in the U.S. and Europe. In
September of 2007, UCB announced it received a negative opinion on the market authorization in the
European Union in the treatment of Crohn’s disease. In December of 2007, UCB announced it
submitted an appeal requesting a Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”)
re-examination of the opinion and that a decision is expected during the first half of 2008. In addition,
CIMZIA® is also in clinical trials for the treatment of psoriasis.

Technology Licenses

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

companies:

•

Bacterial Cell Expression. Bacterial cell expression is an enabling technology for the discovery and
selection, as well as the development and manufacture, of recombinant protein pharmaceuticals,

4

including diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies for commercial purposes. Genetically engineered
bacteria are used in the 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, XOMA scientists have developed efficient
and cost-effective bacterial expression technologies for producing antibodies and other recombinant
protein products.

We have granted over 50 licenses to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including our
August 2007 $30.0 million license agreement with Pfizer, to use our patented and proprietary
technologies relating to bacterial expression of recombinant pharmaceutical products. Bacterial
antibody expression is also a key 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:

Affimed Therapeutics AG

These licenses are sometimes associated with broader agreements. For example, in October of 2006,
we entered into a licensing and product development agreement with Affimed Therapeutics AG
(“Affimed”). Under the terms of the agreement, Affimed received a license to use our BCE technology
for research related to recombinant antibody products, with an option to acquire a BCE license for
production and commercialization of antibodies, in particular their proprietary TandAb and Flexibody
products. In addition, we will provide Affimed with cell line development and process development
services specific to a TandAb therapeutic product candidate that they are currently developing. The
agreement further provided for XOMA to receive a license under Affimed’s antibody library patents
for antibody discovery purposes, as well as for the development and commercialization of antibodies.
In addition, Affimed will build two customized patient-derived human antibody phage display libraries
according to our specifications.

•

Human Engineering™. HE™ is a proprietary technology that allows modification of non-human
monoclonal antibodies to reduce or eliminate detectable immunogenicity and make them suitable for
medical purposes in humans. The technology uses a unique method 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 an HE™ antibody with preserved
antigen binding, structure and function, and with eliminated or greatly reduced immunogenicity.

5

HE™ technology was used in development of our XOMA 052, which is currently in Phase 1 studies in
humans, and certain other antibody products. In 2006, we entered into HE™ technology service
agreements and humanized antibodies for AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AVEO”) and Attenuon, LLC
(“Attenuon”). In January of 2008, we entered into an HE™ agreement with Functional Genetics, Inc.
(“FGI”).

•

Antibody discovery libraries. XOMA has installed six commercial human antibody phage display
libraries for the discovery of therapeutic candidates. In addition, we are building proprietary custom
human antibody phage display libraries for therapeutic antibody discovery that can be used in parallel
with or as an alternative for the commercial libraries. We believe that access to multiple libraries offers
a number of benefits to XOMA and its partners, because it enables screening several libraries
simultaneously to increase the probability of technical and business success in finding rare and unique,
functional antibodies directed to targets of interest.

We also have access to certain intellectual property rights and services that augment our existing antibody
technology platform and development capabilities and further streamline product development timelines. This
broad antibody technology platform and expertise is available for building our antibody product pipeline as well
as those of our collaborators.

Biodefense and Contract Manufacturing

Our fully integrated infrastructure also allows us to offer technical development, product development and

manufacturing services. In March of 2005, we were awarded an 18-month competitive bid contract worth
approximately $15.0 million from NIAID to develop three anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies. In
July of 2006, NIAID awarded XOMA an additional three year contract worth approximately $16.3 million to
further develop and produce these antibodies to support initial clinical development with an overall goal to
protect United States citizens against the harmful effects of botulinum neurotoxins used in bioterrorism. We are
pursuing additional biodefense opportunities in the U.S. and key international markets including the development
of additional anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies, other monoclonal antibody-based biodefense
products, and the manufacture of antibodies to supply strategic national stockpiles.

In November of 2006, we were named as a subcontractor under a prime contract between SRI International

and NIAID. Once the final terms are negotiated, we can manufacture a variety of monoclonal antibody
therapeutic agents of importance to NIAID in the areas of biodefense and infectious diseases. We expect the final
contract to run five years and total $28.1 million. Successful negotiation of the subcontract would, if the full
amount is funded, bring the total of our governmental contract awards to approximately $60.0 million since
March of 2005. We are continuing to seek other opportunities for government and biodefense contracts.

Products Available for Out-Licensing

In an effort to focus our resources on our XOMA 052 program, we have identified the following products as

available for out-licensing:

•

NEUPREX® (opebacan/rBPI21) is an injectable formulation of opebacan, a modified recombinant
fragment of human BPI. BPI is a human host-defense protein made by a type of white blood cell that is
important in the body’s defenses against microbial infection. Opebacan shares BPI’s anti-infective
properties and it is a potent neutralizer of endotoxin. More than 1,100 patients have been treated with
NEUPREX® in clinical studies without any apparent safety concerns.

In January of 2007, in conjunction with Harvard Medical School, we initiated an open label, dose
escalating Phase 1/2 clinical trial of NEUPREX® in adults and children undergoing allogeneic
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HSCT”) to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and markers of

6

biological activity. Earlier research indicates that endotoxemia can induce or worsen acute graft vs.
host disease in these patients who are also susceptible to infectious complications due to the large doses
of radiation or chemotherapy they receive prior to transplantation. During 2008, we plan to review the
results from this ongoing trial including review of the potential use in acute radiation syndrome as part
of the United States Government’s biodefense efforts.

During 2007, we completed support for two investigator-initiated trials at University of Texas
Southwestern in Dallas in pediatric patients with congenital heart abnormalities requiring open heart
surgery at Children’s Hospital and in patients with burn injuries at Parkland Burn Center. These Phase
1 trials evaluated opebacan’s safety and its role in improving endotoxin-induced complications in these
patient populations. We expect to review the results from these two small trials in 2008 and discuss
them with potential licensees.

In September of 2006, the European Medicines Agency (“EMEA”) granted an orphan medicinal
product designation to NEUPREX® in meningococcal sepsis, a potentially life-threatening bacterial
infection predominantly affecting young children. We are completing the regulatory assessment for
NEUPREX® under the EMEA exceptional circumstances mechanism based on the currently available
clinical data in meningococcal sepsis and will discuss this assessment with potential licensees.

ING-1 is a HE™ 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 1 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.

Anti-gastrin Monoclonal Antibody: In September of 2004, we began a collaboration to develop
antibody treatments for gastrointestinal and other gastrin-sensitive cancers where neutralizing gastrin
may inhibit tumor growth. We have selected a lead therapeutic candidate with demonstrated high
affinity and in vivo neutralization activity. Our collaboration partner filed for bankruptcy in May of
2006 and the collaboration was terminated.

Financial and Legal Arrangements of Product Collaborations, Licensing and Other Arrangements

Current Agreements

Genentech

In April of 1996, we entered into a collaboration 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 United States operating profits and losses
and a royalty on sales outside the United States. 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 on 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 United States 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.

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. In addition, our obligation to pay the outstanding balance to
Genentech of $40.9 million under the development loan, including accrued interest, was extinguished.

In December of 1998, we licensed our BCE technology to Genentech, which utilized it in the development

of LUCENTIS® for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration. LUCENTIS® was
approved by the FDA in June of 2006 and in the European Union in January of 2007. We are entitled to receive
an undisclosed royalty on worldwide sales of LUCENTIS®.

9

Novartis

In February of 2004, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide, multi-product collaboration with Novartis 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
companies share expenses and revenues, generally on a 70-30 basis, with our share being 30%. Novartis’ profit
share is subject to a limited upward adjustment, which, in turn, may be reduced if we achieve certain milestones.
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.
In the first quarter of 2007, Novartis’ and our mutual obligations to conduct antibody discovery, development
and commercialization work together on an exclusive basis in oncology expired, except with respect to existing
collaboration projects which have reached the development stage.

Schering Plough

In May of 2006, we entered into a fully funded collaboration agreement with the SPRI division of Schering-
Plough Corporation for therapeutic monoclonal antibody discovery and development. Under the agreement, SPRI
will make upfront, annual maintenance and milestone payments to us, fund our research and development and
manufacturing activities related to the agreement and pay royalties on sales of products resulting from the
collaboration. During the collaboration, we will discover therapeutic antibodies against multiple targets selected
by SPRI using multiple human antibody phage display libraries, may optimize antibodies through affinity
maturation or other protein engineering, may use our proprietary HE™ technology to humanize antibody
candidates generated by hybridoma techniques, perform pre-clinical studies to support regulatory filings, develop
cell lines and production processes and produce antibodies for initial clinical trials. SPRI selected the first target
at the inception of the agreement and, in December of 2006, exercised its right to initiate the additional discovery
and development programs.

Schering Plough/AVEO

In April of 2006, we entered into an agreement with AVEO to utilize our HE™ technology to humanize

AV-299 under which AVEO paid us an up-front license fee and development milestones. Under this agreement
we created four HE™ versions of the original AV-299, all of which met design goals and from which AVEO
selected one as its lead development candidate. In the future, AVEO will pay annual maintenance fees, additional
development milestones and royalties.

In September of 2006, as a result of the successful humanization of AV-299, we entered into a second

agreement with AVEO to manufacture and supply AV-299, AVEO’s novel anti-HGF antibody, in support of
early clinical trials. Under the agreement, we created AV-299 production cell lines and conducted process and
assay development. We will also perform cGMP manufacturing activities in support of AVEO’s IND filing and
early clinical trials. AVEO retains all development and commercialization rights to AV-299.

In April of 2007, Schering Corporation, acting through its Schering-Plough Research Institute division,
entered into a research, development and license agreement with AVEO concerning AV-299 and other anti-HGF
molecules. In connection with the aforementioned license agreement, AVEO has assigned its entire right, title
and interest in, to and under its manufacturing agreement with XOMA to SPRI.

Takeda

In November of 2006, we entered into a fully funded collaboration agreement with Takeda for therapeutic

monoclonal antibody discovery and development. During the collaboration, we will discover and optimize
therapeutic antibodies against multiple targets selected by Takeda. Under the agreement, Takeda will make
upfront, annual maintenance and milestone payments to us, fund our research and development and

10

manufacturing activities for preclinical and early clinical studies and pay royalties on sales of products resulting
from the collaboration. Takeda will be responsible for clinical trials and commercialization of drugs after an IND
submission and is granted the right to manufacture once the product enters into Phase 2 clinical trials.

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 our 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. Our role is to
generate or engineer antibodies that modulate the collaboration’s targets using phage display libraries and our
proprietary HE™ technology. The companies are sharing the responsibility and costs for research, preclinical,
clinical and commercialization activities. Costs and profits are allocated 65% to Lexicon and 35% to us. We will
have principal responsibility for manufacturing antibodies for use in clinical trials and commercial sales.

Pfizer

In August of 2007, XOMA entered into a license agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) for non-exclusive,

worldwide rights for XOMA’s patented bacterial cell expression (BCE) technology for research (including phage
display), development and manufacturing of antibody products. Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA
received an initial license fee payment of $30 million and will receive milestone (licensee achievement based),
royalty and other fees on future sales of all products subject to this license, including products currently in late-
stage clinical development.

NIAID

In March of 2005, we were awarded a $15.0 million competitive bid contract from NIAID, a division of the

National Institutes of Health, to develop three anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies. Under this
contract, we created production cell lines using our proprietary antibody expression systems, built Master and
Manufacturer’s Working Cell Banks, developed production processes and produced initial quantities of the three
antibodies. The contract was performed over an eighteen month period and was 100% funded with Federal funds
from NIAID under Contract No. HHSN266200500004C. Final acceptance of the project was received in October
of 2006.

In July of 2006, we were awarded a $16.3 million contract funded with Federal funds from NIAID under

Contract No. HHSN266200600008C/N01-Al-60008 to produce monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of
botulism to protect United States citizens against the harmful effects of botulinum neurotoxins used in
bioterrorism. Under this contract, we will create and produce an innovative injectable product comprised of three
anti-type A botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies to support entry into Phase 1 safety human clinical
trials. The work is being performed on a cost plus fixed fee basis, per the terms of the contract, over a three year
period.

Attenuon

In September of 2006, we entered into an agreement with Attenuon to utilize our HE™ technology to
humanize a monoclonal antibody targeting the urokinase plasminogen activator system for the treatment of
cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA received up-front and annual maintenance fees and will

11

receive future annual maintenance fees, development milestones and royalties. Attenuon will retain all
development and commercialization rights to the antibody.

Triton

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

worldwide rights from us to use our ING-1 monoclonal antibody with Triton’s TNT™ System. The TNT™
System 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 United States and foreign
patent rights related to our ING-1 and HE™ technologies along with several pending applications. ING-1
remains available for licensing outside the field covered by the Triton license. Under the terms of the contract,
we received an upfront license fee and will receive milestones and royalties.

Recently Terminated Agreements

Taligen

In September of 2006, we entered into an agreement with Taligen Therapeutics, Inc. (“Taligen”) which

formalized an earlier letter agreement, which was signed in May of 2006, for the development and Good
Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) manufacture of a novel antibody fragment for the potential treatment of
inflammatory diseases. In May of 2007, we and Taligen entered into a letter agreement (the “letter agreement”)
which provides that we will not produce a cGMP batch at clinical scale pursuant to the terms of the agreement
entered into in September of 2006. In addition, the letter agreement provides that we will conduct and complete
the technical transfer of the process to Avecia Biologics Limited or its designated affiliate (“Avecia”). The letter
agreement also provides that, subject to payment by Taligen of approximately $1.7 million, we will grant to
Avecia a non-exclusive, worldwide, paid-up, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual license under
our-owned project innovations. We have received $0.6 million as the first installment under the payment terms of
the letter agreement and are entitled to receive two additional payments totaling approximately $1.1 million upon
fulfillment of certain obligations. We have not received any further payments from Taligen and do not know
whether we will receive the remaining $1.1 million.

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
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. Furthermore, many companies and
universities tend not to announce or disclose important discoveries or development programs until their patent
position is secure or, for other reasons, later; as a result, we may not be able to track development of competitive
products, particularly at the early stages. There can be no assurance that developments by others will not render
our products or technologies obsolete or uncompetitive.

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 United States 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 is carried out by the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, the body that also reviews drug products.

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 1, ordinarily encompasses safety, pharmacokinetic and

pharmacodynamic evaluations. Phase 2 testing encompasses investigation in specific disease states designed to
provide preliminary efficacy data and additional information on safety. Phase 3 studies are designed to further
establish clinical safety and efficacy and to provide information allowing proper labeling of the product
following approval. Phase 3 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

13

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
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 biological medicinal products

which are assessed through a centralized procedure by the EMEA. The EMEA coordinates the evaluation and
supervision of medicinal products throughout the European Union and the European Economic Area. The
assessment of the Marketing Authorization (“MA”) Application is carried out by a Rapporteur and a
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. In addition to their responsibility for undertaking scientific assessments of an application
for a MA, the Rapporteur and the Co-Rapporteur 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 the European Commission. The final decision on the grant of a MA is made by the Commission as
the licensing authority of the European Community (“Community”). Under Community law, a positive decision
issued by the European Commission represents the grant of a MA. Such an authorization allows a medicinal
product to be placed on the European market. Upon the grant of an MA in the European Union, certain member
states require pricing approval before the product can be placed into commercial distribution.

Under Community law, the applicant may request grant of a MA under exceptional circumstances if
comprehensive data on the efficacy and safety of the drug, under normal conditions of use cannot be provided
because its intended indications are encountered so rarely (such as in the case of a medicinal product intended for
treating an orphan disease) that comprehensive evidence cannot reasonably be collected, the present state of
scientific knowledge will not allow comprehensive information to be collected, or it would be against generally
accepted medical ethics to collect comprehensive information. The Rapporteur, Co-Rapporteur and the other
CHMP members will assess the justification/data submitted for exceptional circumstances as part of the overall
assessment of the benefit/risk of the application. It is up to the CHMP, during the review, to ultimately decide on
whether grant of a MA under exceptional circumstances is justified on the evidence before them. Approval under
exceptional circumstances is subject to a requirement for specific procedures related to safety and results of its
use and is reviewed annually to reassess the risk-benefit balance of the product. Once approval is granted, the
product can be marketed under the single European MA in all member states of the European Union and the
European Economic Area. 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.

14

Orphan drugs are those intended for use in rare diseases or conditions. As a result of the high cost of

development and the low return on investment for rare diseases, governments provide regulatory and commercial
incentives for the development of drugs for small disease populations. In the United States, the term “rare disease
or condition” means any disease or condition which affects less than 200,000 persons in the United States.
Applications for United States orphan drug status are evaluated and granted by the Office of Orphan Products
Development (“OOPD”) of the FDA. In the United States, orphan drugs are subject to the standard regulatory
process for marketing approval but are exempt from the payment of user fees for licensure, receive market
exclusivity for a period of seven years and some tax benefits, and are eligible for OOPD grants. In Europe,
orphan medicinal products are those intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a life-threatening or
chronically debilitating condition affecting not more than five in 10,000 persons in the Community. The EMEA’s
Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (“COMP”) reviews applications seeking orphan designation. If the
European Commission agrees with a positive assessment made by COMP, then the product will receive a
positive designation through adoption of a decision by the European Commission. Orphan medicinal products are
exempt from fees for protocol assistance and scientific advice from the Scientific Advice Working Party during
development, reduction or exemption of MA and other fees, and ten year market exclusivity upon granting of a
MA in respect of the approved clinical indication. Moreover, manufacturers may be eligible for grants or other
financial incentives from the Community and Member States programs.

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 internationally 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 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”), including those directed to
novel BPI-related protein and DNA compositions, as well as their production and uses. Finally, we are the
exclusive licensee of BPI-related patents and applications owned by Incyte Corporation (“Incyte”), including
those related to endotoxin-associated uses of BPI.

We have established a portfolio of patents related to our bacterial expression technology, including claims to

novel promoter sequences, secretion signal sequences, compositions, methods for expression and secretion of
recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene products, and improved methods and cells
for expression of recombinant protein products. U.S. Patent No. 5,028,530 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. U.S. Patent
No. 7,094,579 relates to eukaryotic signal sequences and their use in methods for prokaryotic expression of
recombinant proteins. U.S. Patent No. 6,803,210 relates to improved bacterial host cells that are deficient in one
or more of the active transport systems for an inducer of an inducible promoter, such as arabinose for an araB
promoter, and methods for the use of such cells for the production of recombinant proteins. Most of the more
important European patents in this portfolio will expire in July of 2008.

15

We have also established a portfolio of patent applications related to our mammalian expression technology,

including U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0203447 for which we have received a Notice of
Allowance, related to methods and materials for increasing the expression of recombinant polypeptides using
expression vectors containing multiple copies of a transcription unit encoding a polypeptide of interest.

We have established a portfolio of patents and applications related to our HE™ technology, including U.S.
Patent No. 5,766,886, directed to methods of modifying antibody variable domains to reduce immunogenicity.
Related patents and applications are directed to antibodies engineered according to our patented methods. We
believe that our patented HE™ technology provides an attractive alternative to other humanization technologies.

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 $161,000 in 2007 and
negligible in 2006 and 2005. We have entered into certain license agreements with respect to the following
products:

•

•

In December of 2007, we entered into an agreement with The Regents of the University of California
(“Regents”) to license the rights to antibodies directed against anti-botulinum neurotoxin Types A, B
and E. Under the agreement, XOMA will make milestone payments and the Regents will receive
royalties on commercial sales of the antibody products. With this license, we have the exclusive right
under pending patent applications to develop for commercial applications these antibodies intended to
treat botulism poisoning. The antibodies covered by the license agreement are currently being
developed by XOMA under a $16.3 million contract award from the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health, (Contract No.
HHSN266200600008C/N01-Al-60008) to produce monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of botulism
to protect United States citizens against the harmful effects of biological agents used in bioterrorism.

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

16

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, 2007, 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, 2007, we employed 311 non-unionized full-time employees at our California facilities,

principally in Berkeley, California. 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

The following risk factors and other information included in this annual report should be carefully
considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks
occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Our present and future revenues rely significantly on sales of products marketed and sold by others.

Currently, our revenues rely significantly upon sales of RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS®, in which we have
only royalty interests. 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 Merck 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, Merck 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. LUCENTIS® was approved by the FDA on June 30,
2006, for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Genentech and Novartis, Genentech’s international
marketing partner for LUCENTIS®, are responsible for the marketing and sales effort in support of this product.
We have no role in marketing and sales efforts, and Genentech, Merck Serono and Novartis do not have an
express contractual obligation to us regarding the marketing or sales of RAPTIVA® or LUCENTIS®.

Under our current arrangements with Genentech, we are entitled to receive royalties on worldwide sales of
RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS®. Successful commercialization of these products is subject to a number of risks,
including, but not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Genentech’s and Merck 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 and LUCENTIS® as a
treatment for age-related macular degeneration;

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

pricing and reimbursement issues.

According to Genentech, United States sales of RAPTIVA® during 2007 were $107 million, compared with

$90 million and $79 million during 2006 and 2005, respectively. According to Merck Serono, sales of

18

RAPTIVA® outside of the United States during 2007 were $106 million, compared with $70 million and $33
million during 2006 and 2005, respectively. According to Genentech, United States sales of LUCENTIS® were
$815 million during 2007 compared with $380 million in 2006 and sales outside the United States were $393
million in 2007 compared with $27 million during 2006. LUCENTIS® sales began on June 30, 2006, upon its
approval by regulatory agencies. Given our current reliance on RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS® as principal
sources of our revenues, any material adverse developments with respect to the commercialization of
RAPTIVA® or LUCENTIS® may cause our revenues 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, 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 the next twelve months. 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, 2007, we (including our subsidiaries) had approximately $50.9 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 Novartis, Novartis has extended a line of credit to us (through
our U.S subsidiary) for $50.0 million to fund up to 75% of our expenses thereunder, of which $20.6 million was
drawn as of December 31, 2007. This line of credit is secured by a pledge of our interest in the collaboration. On
November 9, 2006, XOMA (US) LLC entered into a five-year, $35.0 million term loan facility with Goldman
Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) and borrowed the full amount thereunder. The
outstanding balance as of December 31, 2007 was $30.3 million. The loan is guaranteed by XOMA and is

19

secured by the payment rights relating to RAPTIVA®, LUCENTIS® and CIMZIA™. So long as this loan is
outstanding, these assets will not be available to XOMA or any other lender to secure future indebtedness.

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 with 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.

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. 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. Initiation of clinical trials
requires approval by health authorities. Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug
to healthy volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator. Clinical trials must
be conducted in accordance with FDA and International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical
Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (“ICH”) Good Clinical Practices and the
European Clinical Trials Directive under protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be

20

used to monitor safety and the efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Other national, foreign and local regulations may
also apply. The developer of the drug must provide information relating to the characterization and controls of
the product before administration to the patients participating in the clinical trials. This requires developing
approved assays of the product to test before administration to the patient and during the conduct of the trial. In
addition, developers of pharmaceutical products must provide periodic data regarding clinical trials to the FDA
and other health authorities, and these health authorities may issue a clinical hold upon a trial if they do not
believe, or cannot confirm, that the trial can be conducted without unreasonable risk to the trial participants. We
cannot assure you that U.S. and foreign health authorities will not issue a clinical hold with respect to any of our
clinical trials in the future.

The results of the preclinical studies and clinical testing, together with chemistry, manufacturing and
controls information, are submitted to the FDA and other health authorities in the form of a new drug application
for a pharmaceutical product, and in the form of a biologics license application for a biological product,
requesting approval to commence commercial sales. In responding to a new drug application or an antibody
license application, the FDA or foreign health authorities may grant marketing approvals, request additional
information or further research, or deny the application if it determines that the application does not satisfy its
regulatory approval criteria. Regulatory approval of a new drug application, biologics license application, or
supplement is never guaranteed, and the approval process can take several years and is extremely expensive. The
FDA and foreign health authorities have substantial discretion in the drug and biologics approval processes.
Despite the time and expense incurred, failure can occur at any stage, and we could encounter problems that
cause us to abandon clinical trials or to repeat or perform additional preclinical, clinical or manufacturing-related
studies.

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® and LUCENTIS®, 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,

21

•

•

•

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.

For example, In 2003, we completed two Phase 1 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 2 clinical testing in patients with mild-to-moderate acne. In August of 2004, we
announced the results of a Phase 2 trial with XMP.629 gel. The results were inconclusive in terms of clinical
benefit of XMP.629 compared with vehicle gel. In 2007, after completing an internal evaluation of this program,
we chose to focus development efforts on the use of this product in superficial skin infections, including impetigo
and the eradication of staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA.

The timing of the commencement, continuation and completion of clinical trials may be subject to
significant delays relating to various causes, including scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and
clinical institutions, difficulties in identifying and enrolling patients who meet trial eligibility criteria, and
shortages of available drug supply. Patient enrollment is a function of many factors, including the size of the
patient population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, the existence of
competing clinical trials and the availability of alternative or new treatments. In addition, we will conduct clinical
trials in foreign countries in the future which may subject us to further delays and expenses as a result of
increased drug shipment costs, additional regulatory requirements and the engagement of foreign clinical
research organizations, as well as expose us to risks associated with foreign currency transactions insofar as we
might desire to use U.S. dollars to make contract payments denominated in the foreign currency where the trial is
being conducted.

All of our products are prone to the risks of failure inherent in drug development. Preclinical studies may
not yield results that would satisfactorily support the filing of an IND (or a foreign equivalent) with respect to our
potential products. Even if these applications would be or have been filed with respect to our products, the results
of preclinical studies do not necessarily predict the results of clinical trials. Similarly, early-stage clinical trials in
healthy volunteers do not predict the results of later-stage clinical trials, including the safety and efficacy profiles
of any particular products. In addition, there can be no assurance that the design of our clinical trials is focused
on appropriate indications, patient populations, dosing regimens or other variables which will result in obtaining
the desired efficacy data to support regulatory approval to commercialize the drug. Preclinical and clinical data
can be interpreted in different ways. Accordingly, FDA officials or officials from foreign regulatory authorities
could interpret the data in different ways than we or our partners do, which could delay, limit or prevent
regulatory approval.

Administering any of our products or potential products may produce undesirable side effects, also known

as adverse effects. Toxicities and adverse effects that we have observed in pre-clinical studies for some
compounds in a particular research and development program may occur in preclinical studies or clinical trials of
other compounds from the same program. Such toxicities or adverse effects could delay or prevent the filing of
an IND (or a foreign equivalent) with respect to such products or potential products or cause us to cease clinical
trials with respect to any drug candidate. In clinical trials, administering any of our products to humans may
produce adverse effects. These adverse effects could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our products and
could result in the FDA or other regulatory authorities denying approval of our products for any or all targeted
indications. The FDA, other regulatory authorities, our partners or we may suspend or terminate clinical trials at
any time. Even if one or more of our products were approved for sale, the occurrence of even a limited number of
toxicities or adverse effects when used in large populations may cause the FDA to impose restrictions on, or stop,
the further marketing of such drugs. Indications of potential adverse effects or toxicities which may occur in

22

clinical trials and which we believe are not significant during the course of such clinical trials may later turn out
to actually constitute serious adverse effects or toxicities when a drug has been used in large populations or for
extended periods of time. Any failure or significant delay in completing preclinical studies or clinical trials for
our products, or in receiving and maintaining regulatory approval for the sale of any drugs resulting from our
products, may severely harm our reputation and business.

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, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of

$739.9 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we had a net loss of approximately $12.3 million or $0.10 per
common share (basic and diluted). For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had a net loss of approximately
$51.8 million or $0.54 per common share (basic and diluted).

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, Merck 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. As of May of 2006, we completed the transfer of the
data from the Phase I study to Millennium as per our amended agreement.

In March of 2004, we announced we had agreed to collaborate with Chiron Corporation (now Novartis)
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

23

antibody product candidates. In April of 2005, we announced the initiation of clinical testing of the first
product candidate out of the collaboration, HCD122, an anti-CD40 antibody, in patients with advanced
CLL. In October of 2005, we announced the initiation of the second clinical trial of HCD122 in
patients with multiple myeloma.

•

•

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 NIAID to produce three monoclonal antibodies
designed to protect United States citizens against the harmful effects botulinum neurotoxin of used in
bioterrorism. In July of 2006, we entered into an additional contract with NIAID for the development
of an appropriate formulation for human administration of these three antibodies in a single injection.

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 BCE technology, an enabling technology used to discover and screen, as well as
develop and manufacture, recombinant antibodies and other proteins for commercial purposes, to over
50 companies. As of December 31, 2007, we were aware of one antibody product manufactured using
this technology that has received FDA approval, Genentech’s LUCENTIS® (ranibizumab injection) for
treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, and one antibody manufactured using
this technology that is in late-stage clinical testing, UCB’s CIMZIA™ (certolizumab pegol, CDP870)
an anti-TNF alpha antibody fragment for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease.

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 related to
their agreements with us. If these collaborators and licensees do not successfully develop and market these
products, we may not have the 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 Novartis provides for funding by it in the form of a line of credit to us, and we
cannot be certain that Novartis will provide the necessary funds available when we attempt to draw on the line of
credit. Furthermore, our contracts with NIAID contain 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 our relative lack of experience in programs under contract with government agencies, 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,
CIMZIA® has not received marketing approval from the FDA or the EMEA, and therefore we cannot assure you
that it will be approved for marketing in the US or the EU or that it will be successfully commercialized.

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

successful development of marketable products.

•

In December of 2003, we agreed to collaborate with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“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 Sciences, Inc. 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.

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 January of 2006,
Aphton announced that its common stock had been delisted from Nasdaq. In May of 2006, Aphton
filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

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 3 clinical trials. In
July of 2006, Cubist announced that it had decided to cease investment in this product because of
stringent FDA requirements for regulatory approval, and as a result we have terminated our letter
agreement with Cubist.

In September of 2006, we entered into an agreement with Taligen which formalized an earlier letter
agreement, which was signed in May of 2006, for the development and Good Manufacturing Practices
(“cGMP”) manufacture of a novel antibody fragment for the potential treatment of inflammatory
diseases. In May of 2007, we and Taligen entered into a letter agreement (the “letter agreement”)
which provides that we will not produce a cGMP batch at clinical scale pursuant to the terms of the
agreement entered into in September of 2006. In addition, the letter agreement provides that we will
conduct and complete the technical transfer of the process to Avecia Biologics Limited or its
designated affiliate (“Avecia”). The letter agreement also provides that, subject to payment by Taligen
of approximately $1.7 million, we will grant to Avecia a non-exclusive, worldwide, paid-up,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual license under our-owned project innovations. We have
received $0.6 million as the first installment under the payment terms of the letter agreement and are
entitled to receive two additional payments totaling approximately $1.1 million upon fulfillment of
certain obligations. We have not received any further payments from Taligen and do not know whether
we will receive the remaining $1.1 million. This amount has not been recognized as revenue and is not
included as an accounts receivable asset as of December 31, 2007.

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
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, 2007 through March 7, 2008, our share price has ranged from a high of $4.39 to a low of $1.96. On
March 7, 2008, the closing price of the common shares as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market was $2.56 per
share. Factors contributing to such volatility include, but are not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

sales and estimated or forecasted sales of products for which we receive royalties,

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® and LUCENTIS®. Should Genentech have difficulty in providing manufacturing capacity to produce
these products 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 these 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 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, or will continue to be, a viable market for the products in which we
have an ownership or royalty interest.

Although RAPTIVA® was approved in the United States in October of 2003 and in the European Union in

2004 and LUCENTIS® was approved in June of 2006 and in the European Union in January of 2007, their

26

acceptance in the marketplace may not continue. Furthermore, even if other products in which we have an interest
receive approval in the future, they may not be accepted in the marketplace. In addition, we or our collaborators or
licensees 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 a product, such as RAPTIVA® or LUCENTIS®, 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, many companies and universities tend not to announce or disclose important
discoveries or development programs until their patent position is secure or, for other reasons, later; as a result,
we may not be able to track development of competitive products, particularly at the early stages. 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 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.

27

The examples below pertain to competitive events in the market which we review quarterly and are not
intended to be representative of all existing competitive events. Without limiting the foregoing, we are aware
that:

RAPTIVA®

•

•

•

•

•

•

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;

Abbott Laboratories has recently announced that it has successfully completed two Phase 3 psoriasis
trials showing clinical benefits of its rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis drug Humira™ for the
treatment of psoriasis. They indicated that they will submit regulatory applications in the United States
and Europe in the first half of 2007;

In September of 2006, Centocor, Inc. (“Centocor”) , a unit of Johnson & Johnson, announced that its
rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease drug, Remicade® (infliximab) had been approved by the FDA
for the treatment of adult patients with chronic severe (i.e. extensive and/or disabling) plaque psoriasis
who are candidates for systemic therapy and when other systemic therapies are medically less
appropriate. This drug had already 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;

Biogen Idec Inc. (“Biogen”) sold its worldwide rights to Amevive®, which has been approved in the
United States and Canada to treat the same psoriasis indication as RAPTIVA®, to Astellas Pharma US,
Inc., in March of 2006;

In October of 2007, Johnson & Johnson announced positive results from a Phase 3 clinical trial in
moderate to severe plaque psoriasis of ustekinumab (CNTO 1275), a fully human monoclonal antibody
that targets the cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23). The BLA and MAA regulatory
submissions for chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were filed with the US FDA and EMEA in
the EU in December of 2007; the BLA was accepted for review by the US FDA in February of 2008; and

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

LUCENTIS®

In addition to LUCENTIS®, there are two other FDA-approved therapies to treat macular degeneration:
Pfizer, Inc.’s and OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s Macugen® and Novartis’ and QLT Inc.’s Visudyne®. LUCENTIS®
also competes with Genentech’s cancer drug Avastin®.

XOMA 052

In April of 2007, XOMA announced plans to initiate clinical testing of XOMA 052, a potent anti-
inflammatory monoclonal antibody targeting Interleukin 1-beta (IL-1beta), in Type 2 diabetes patients. It is
possible that other companies may be developing other products based on the same therapeutic target as XOMA
052 and that these products may prove more effective than XOMA 052. We are aware that:

•

•

Amgen has been developing AMG 108, a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets inhibition of
the action of IL-1, and they announced the initiation of a Phase 2 safety trial in rheumatoid arthritis
patients in September of 2006;

In February of 2008, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) announced it had received
marketing approval from the FDA for ARCALYST(TM) (rilonacept) Injection for Subcutaneous Use,
an interleukin-1 blocker or IL-1 Trap, for the treatment of Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes

28

including Familial Cold Auto-inflammatory Syndrome and Muckle-Wells Syndrome in adults and
children 12 and older. In September of 2007, Regeneron also announced that treatment with rilonacept
demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in patient pain scores in a single-blind, placebo
run-in-controlled study of 10 patients with chronic active gout. In November of 2007, Regeneron
announced it had initiated a Phase 2 safety and efficacy trial of rilonacept in the prevention of gout
flares induced by the initiation of uric acid-lowering drug therapy used to control the disease.

•

Novartis has been developing ACZ885, a fully human anti-IL-1beta monoclonal antibody, and that
they reported positive results in Phase 1 proof of concept clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis and in
Muckle-Wells Syndrome in June 2006. In July of 2007, they reported advancing ACZ885 into Phase 3
clinical trial for Muckle-Wells Syndrome and in December of 2007, they entered Phase 2 testing of
ACZ885 in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

XOMA 629

There are several companies developing topical peptide treatments which may compete with XOMA 629.

Migenix Inc. and its partner Cutanea Life Sciences, Inc. are developing CLS001 (formerly MBI 594AN) for
roseasea, a topical peptide that has completed two Phase 2 trials for the treatment of acne. Helix Biomedix, Inc.
is developing several peptide compounds. GlaxoSmithKline has two products approved for impetigo, mupirocin
and retapamulin. In addition, mupirocin is approved for use in eradication of MRSA nasal colonization and for
secondary traumatic skin lesions. Retapamulin is being investigated for eradication of S. aureus nasal
colonization.

HCD122

In collaboration with Novartis, we are co-developing a humanized antibody to the 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. (“Seattle Genetics”) which is targeting CD40 antigen. Seattle Genetics is currently conducting a
Phase 2 clinical trial for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common type of aggressive
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and Phase 1 trials for patients with multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic
leukemia. In January of 2007, Seattle Genetics entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with
Genentech to develop and commercialize SGN-40. Under the agreement, Genentech will fund future research,
development, manufacturing and commercialization costs. In January of 2007, Kirin Brewery Company, Limited
and Astellas Pharma Inc. announced that they have entered into a license and collaborative research and
development agreement under which they will exclusively collaborate in developing and marketing a fully
human anti-CD40 antagonistic monoclonal antibody worldwide with a first target indication of prophylaxis of
organ rejection associated with organ transplantation.

Biodefense

•

•

In May of 2006, the US Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) awarded Cangene
Corporation a five-year, $362 million contract under Project Bioshield. The contract requires Cangene
to manufacture and supply 200,000 doses of an equine heptavalent botulism anti-toxin to treat
individuals who have been exposed to the toxins that cause botulism.

Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. is currently in development of a botulism immunoglobulin candidate that
may compete with our anti-botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibodies

• We are aware of additional companies that are pursuing biodefense-related antibody products.

PharmAthene, Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. and Human Genome Sciences, Inc. are developing anti-
anthrax antibodies. Cangene and Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. are developing anti-anthrax immune
globulin products. These products may compete with our efforts in the areas of other monoclonal
antibody-based biodefense products, and the manufacture of antibodies to supply strategic national
stockpiles.

29

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 healthcare 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.

Healthcare reform measures and other statutory or regulatory changes could adversely affect our
business.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are subject to extensive regulation, and from time to time

legislative bodies and governmental agencies consider changes to such regulations that could have significant
impact on industry participants. For example, in light of certain highly-publicized safety issues regarding certain
drugs that had received marketing approval, the U.S. Congress is considering various proposals regarding drug
safety, including some which would require additional safety studies and monitoring and could make drug
development more costly. We are unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation, if any, relating to
safety or other aspects of drug development may be enacted in the future or what effect such legislation or
regulation would have on our business.

The business and financial condition of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are also affected by

the efforts of governments, third-party payors and others to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare to
consumers. In the United States and various foreign jurisdictions there have been, and we expect that there will
continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the healthcare system, such as
proposals relating to the reimportation of drugs into the U.S. from other countries (where they are then sold at a
lower price) and government control of prescription drug pricing. The pendency or approval of such proposals
could result in a decrease in our share price or limit our ability to raise capital or to obtain strategic collaborations
or licenses.

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

30

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.

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

31

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 be 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
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.

32

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.

The loss of key personnel, including our new Chief Executive Officer, could delay or prevent achieving our
objectives.

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: Steven B. Engle,
our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President; J. David Boyle II, our Vice President, Finance and Chief
Financial Officer; Patrick J. Scannon, M.D., Ph.D., our Executive Vice President and Chief Biotechnology
Officer; and Christopher J. Margolin, our Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. We currently have no
key person insurance on any of our employees.

In August of 2007, Mr. Engle succeeded John L. Castello as President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Engle has not previously been affiliated with our company, and our business could be adversely affected if
he is not integrated effectively, or in a timely manner, into our company.

Because we are a relatively small biopharmaceutical company with limited resources, we may not be able
to attract and retain qualified personnel.

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. We had approximately 311 employees as of December 31,
2007, 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.

33

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.

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.

34

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 December 31, 2007, 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 131,957,774 were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2007. 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.

If the trading price of our common shares fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of The
Nasdaq Global 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 Global 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 Capital Market.

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

shares on The Nasdaq Global 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 Global Market and we are not successful in
obtaining a listing on The Nasdaq Capital 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 Global Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or any other

35

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 Global 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 Global 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 135,000 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 52,000 square
feet of office space. A separate 17,000 square foot technology development and pilot facility is owned by us.

We produced multiple anti-botulinum neurotoxin antibodies and XOMA 052 in addition to performing

numerous small-scale development runs in 2007. We have previously produced MLN2222, TPO mimetic
antibody, NEUPREX®, RAPTIVA®, MLN2201 and ING-1 for clinical trials and other testing needs at our
Berkeley manufacturing facilities, pursuant to a drug manufacturing license obtained from the State of California.
We recently received Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) Certification from the Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency of the United Kingdom to allow production of clinical trial materials for use in the
European Union. We base our manufacturing capability on recombinant DNA technology, which can produce
therapeutic products from either mammalian or microbial cells. Our primary manufacturing facility houses three
fermentation trains each with a tank size of 2,750 liters. Our Pilot Plant houses two fermentation trains each with
a tank size of 500 liters. Each facility has associated isolation and purification equipment within production
suites. We perform our own formulation and contract with third parties for final sterile filling and finishing.

Legal Proceedings

In September of 2004, XOMA (US) LLC entered into a collaboration with Aphton for the treatment of

gastrointestinal and other gastrin-sensitive cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies. In May of 2006,
Aphton filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the

36

United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, No. 06-10510 (CSS). XOMA (US) LLC filed a
proof of claim in the proceeding, as an unsecured creditor of Aphton, for approximately $594,000. Aphton and
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors filed a Proposed Plan of Reorganization that would result in a
liquidation of Aphton. The creditors have voted in favor of the plan, and the bankruptcy court has confirmed it. It
is not presently known what, if any, distributions will be made to holders of unsecured claims.

On March 7, 2008, there were 2,683 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.

Dividend Policy

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 5, “Share Capital,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt and Equity Issuances

During 2007 we eliminated all of our remaining convertible debt. For the year ended December 31, 2006,
$27.5 million of New Notes were converted into 18,262,264 common shares including 3,602,879 shares related
to the additional interest payment feature of the notes. During the first quarter of 2007, $42.0 million of New
Notes were voluntarily converted by holders through March 7, 2007, at which time we announced that we had
elected to automatically convert 100% of the remaining $2.5 million of New Notes outstanding. As a result,
25,640,187 shares were issued to effect the conversion of the principal balances. Additionally, we issued
1,889,317 shares and $5.2 million in cash to satisfy the remaining additional interest payment feature related to
these converted New Notes.

In February of 2006, we completed an exchange offer with holders of our 6.5% convertible senior notes due

2012 in which we exchanged $60.0 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 were initially convertible into approximately
38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of common shares per $1,000 principal amount of
New Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common share.

39

 
In February of 2005, we issued $60.0 million of 6.5% convertible senior notes due in 2012, the proceeds of
which were 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. The convertible senior notes were issued, to the
initial purchasers, for net proceeds of $56.6 million.

(2)

Increases in 2007 and 2006 reflect increased spending on our development of XOMA 052 and our contracts
with NIAID, SPRI, AVEO and Takeda. 2004 and 2003 include approximately $16.4 million and $7.5
million, respectively, of collaboration arrangement expenses related to our collaboration with Genentech on
RAPTIVA®. This agreement was amended and, effective January 1, 2005, we no longer incurred these
expenses.

(3) 2007 and 2006 include interest expense of $6.1 and $6.9 million, respectively, related to the revaluation of
the embedded derivative to fair market value and the payment in common shares, of the additional interest
feature, on our convertible debt. 2005 includes a one-time gain of $40.9 million as a result the restructuring
of the Genentech agreement in January 2005.

(4)

In 2007, we eliminated the remaining $44.5 million in convertible debt issued in 2006. The balance as of
December 31, 2007 includes $30.3 million from our Goldman Sachs term loan, $20.6 million for our
Novartis note, and $10.0 million in long-term deferred revenue. In 2006, we exchanged convertible senior
notes (issued in 2005) for $60.0 million of 6.5% Convertible SNAPsSM due 2012 and issued an additional
$12.0 million of 6.5% SNAPsSM to the public for cash. The balance as of December 31, 2006 also includes
our $35.0 million term loan from Goldman Sachs completed in November of 2006. 2005 includes liabilities
incurred in connection with our $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due
2012 issued in February of 2005.

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 developed under a collaboration agreement with Genentech, and LUCENTIS® for which Genentech
licensed our BCE technology. Genentech is responsible for the manufacturing, marketing and sales effort in
support of these products 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. LUCENTIS® is approved in the United States and Europe and is a treatment for neovascular
(wet) age-related macular degeneration. Our near-term profits will also be influenced by our ability to generate
revenues or benefit from cost-sharing arrangements, funded research and development, contract manufacturing or
other development 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®, LUCENTIS® 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, share 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. Allowances are established for estimated uncollectible amounts, if any.

42

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 expected period
of the continuing performance obligation. We estimate the performance period at the inception of the
arrangement and reevaluate it each reporting period. This reevaluation may shorten or lengthen the period over
which the remaining revenue is recognized.

Up-front fees should be recognized ratably over the expected benefit period under the arrangement. Given
the uncertainties of research and development collaborations, significant judgment is required to determine the
duration of the arrangement. We have $14.6 million of deferred up-front fees related to three research and
collaboration agreements that are being amortized over a range of two to five years.

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 expected 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 our providing research and development for
manufacturing processes for collaborative partners, biodefense contracts or others. Revenues for certain contracts
are accounted for by a proportional performance, or output based, method where performance is based on agreed
progress toward elements defined in the contract. The amount of contract revenue and related costs recognized in
each accounting period are based on estimates of the proportional performance during the period towards
elements defined in the contract. Adjustments to estimates based on actual performance are recognized on a
prospective basis and do not result in reversal of revenues should the estimate to complete be extended.

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 expenses 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

43

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 of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” 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.

Share Based Compensation

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

which requires that all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of stock options, be
recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and amends SFAS
No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R, which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our
employees and directors, including employee share options and employee share purchases related to the
Employee Share Purchase Plan, on estimated fair values.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, we elected to follow

APB 25, and FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation—an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25”, in accounting for our employee stock-based plans.
Under APB 25, if the exercise price of our employee and director stock options was equal to or greater than the
fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized. However, as
required by SFAS 123, the pro forma impact of expensing the fair value of our stock options and employee stock
purchase plan was disclosed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with our adoption of SFAS 123R, we use the modified prospective transition method. Under

this method, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and
for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. To
estimate the value of an award, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires inputs such
as expected life, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate. Further, the forfeiture rate also impacts the amount
of aggregate compensation. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment
to develop. While estimates of expected life, volatility and forfeiture rate are derived primarily from our
historical data, the risk-free rate is based on the yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues. We
review our valuation assumptions quarterly and, as a result, it is likely we will change our valuation assumptions
used to value share based awards granted in future periods.

At December 31, 2007, there was $6.9 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to

unvested share options with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of 3.2 years.

Income Taxes

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for

Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for

44

Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The application of income tax law and regulations are inherently complex.
Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes
in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated
balance sheets and statements of income.

2006

2005

License and collaborative fees revenues in 2007 were $36.5 million, compared with $2.8 million in 2006

and $5.1 million in 2005. These revenues include upfront and milestone payments related to the out-licensing of
our products and technologies and other collaborative arrangements. The increase of $33.7 million for 2007
compared with 2006 primarily resulted from one-time payments from Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) and an existing
technology partner in 2007 totaling $31.3 million. These payments represent initial license fees for which no
remaining obligation of the Company exists. We recognized $4.3 million in revenue during the first quarter of
2007 which was the unamortized revenue from the $10.0 million upfront collaboration fee received in connection
with our collaboration with Novartis AG (“Novartis”) in February of 2004. In February of 2007, we announced
that pursuant to the terms of our collaboration agreement with Novartis, the mutual exclusivity obligation to
conduct antibody discovery, development and commercialization work in oncology had ended. The expiration of
this mutual obligation has no impact on the existing collaboration projects which have reached the development
stage and the parties may continue to collaborate on a non-exclusive basis. Prior to the expiration of the
exclusivity period, the upfront fee was being amortized over the expected five-year term of the exclusivity
provision, or at a rate of $0.5 million a quarter. The $2.3 million decrease in license and collaborative fees
revenues for 2006 compared with 2005 was primarily related to $2.0 million from an out-licensing agreement
with Merck & Co., Inc. which we recognized in 2005. There was no such agreement in 2006.

Contract and other revenues were $31.1 million in 2007 compared with $16.3 million in 2006 and $7.4

million in 2005. The increase of $14.8 million in 2007 resulted primarily from increased activities in our
contracts with AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AVEO”), Schering Plough Research Institute (“SPRI”), Takeda
Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) and our July 2006 contract with the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”), a part of the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human
Services which is being funded with federal funds under Contract No. HHSN26620060008C/N01-A1-60008.
This increase was partially offset by the completion of our contract, in October of 2006, with NIAID. The
contract was entered into in March of 2005 and was 100% funded with federal funds from NIAID under Contract
No. HHSN26620050004C.

The increase of $8.9 million in 2006 partially resulted from contracts entered into in 2006 with SPRI, Taligen,
Cubist, AVEO but was primarily caused by contract manufacturing process services performed under our contracts
with NIAID entered into in March of 2005 and July of 2006. The increase from these contracts was partially offset
by a reduction in clinical trial services performed on behalf of Genentech and Novartis in 2005. We recognized
revenue from the March 2005 NIAID contract as work was being performed on a proportional performance basis
over an eighteen month period until final acceptance of the contract which was achieved in October of 2006. During

45

2006 and 2005, respectively, we recorded revenues of $9.8 million and $5.2 million from this contract. The July
2006 NIAID contract work is being performed on a cost plus fixed fee basis, per the terms of the contract, over a
three year period. We are recognizing revenue as the services are performed on a proportional performance basis of
which $11.3 million and $1.9 million were recognized in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We defer revenue until all requirements under our revenue recognition policy are met. In 2007, we deferred
$23.3 million of revenue from five contracts including SPRI, AVEO and Takeda and recognized $22.2 million in
revenue from the five contracts including amortization of $4.3 million of the $10.0 million in upfront payments
received from Novartis for our February 2004 oncology collaboration contract. In 2006, we deferred $25.2
million of revenue from eight contracts including SPRI, NIAID, Takeda and Taligen and recognized $16.1
million in revenue from the eight contracts including the amortization of the Novartis upfront payments. The
2005 $8.3 million beginning balance is the unamortized balance on the Novartis contract, the $1.5 million of
revenue deferred relates to NIAID and the $2.0 million of revenue recognized is the Novartis amortization.

Of the $18.1 million balance in deferred revenue at December 31, 2007, $8.0 million is expected to be
earned over the next year and the remaining $10.1 million is expected to be earned over the next five years.
Future amounts may be impacted by additional consideration received, if any, under existing or any future
licensing or other collaborative arrangements as well as changes in the estimated period of obligation or services
to be provided under the arrangements.

Revenues from royalties were $16.7 million in 2007 compared with $10.3 million in 2006 and $6.2 million

in 2005. The increase in royalty revenues from 2005 through 2007 resulted primarily from an increase in
RAPTIVA® royalties and the inception of LUCENTIS® royalties, in June of 2006, earned under our royalty
arrangements with Genentech.

Revenues for 2008 may decrease as a result of the expiration in July 2008 of certain European patents in our

BCE patent portfolio, which currently cover LUCENTIS® and, to the extent approved, CIMZIA®. We received
approximately $2.0 million in royalties from the sale of LUCENTIS® in Europe in 2007. Any such decrease may
be offset if worldwide sales of RAPTIVA® and U.S. sales of LUCENTIS® continue to increase and/or if
CIMZIA® is approved for marketing in the U.S. and sales commence.

Research and Development Expenses

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

preclinical testing, and Phase 1, 2 and 3 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.

46

In 2007, our research and development expenses were $66.2 million compared with $52.1 million in 2006

and $39.9 million in 2005.

The $14.1 million increase in 2007 compared with 2006 primarily reflects increased spending on

development of XOMA 052, including Phase 1 clinical trials, and our contracts with NIAID, SPRI/AVEO and
Takeda, partially offset by a decrease in our spending on Taligen. We recorded $31.5 million in salaries and
employee related expenses in 2007 compared with $22.8 million in 2006. Included in these amounts were
$27.9 million for salaries and benefits, $2.6 million for bonus awards, and $1.0 million for share based
compensation in 2007 compared with $21.1 million, $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in 2006. The
increase in bonus awards includes the implementation of the Bonus Compensation Plan (“BCP”) in 2007. The
BCP provides performance-based bonuses to be paid to employees that did not qualify under the Management
Incentive Compensation Plan (“MICP”) or CEO Incentive Compensation Plan (“CICP”, collectively “Incentive
Plans”).

In July of 2007, we reached an agreement with a major collaborator regarding material cost charges

previously recorded under the collaboration agreement of $2.8 million. The impact of the resolution resulted in a
$2.8 million reduction in research and development for the year ended December 31, 2007 as the original charges
were recorded to research and development expense.

The $12.2 million increase in 2006 compared with 2005 primarily reflects increases in spending on our

contracts with NIAID, Taligen and AVEO, our development of XOMA 052 and NEUPREX®, and our
collaborations with SPRI and Lexicon, partially offset by decreased spending on our collaboration agreements
with Novartis, Genentech, Aphton and Millennium, our development of XOMA 629 and the termination of our
agreement with Cubist.

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.

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 2007, two development programs (XOMA 052 and NIAID) 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 2006, three development programs (Novartis, NIAID and XOMA 052) 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 2005, one development program (Novartis)
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.

We currently anticipate that research and development expenses will continue to increase in 2008 as
compared with 2007. We expect our spending on our collaborations with Novartis and Lexicon to continue as
well as increases in spending on our collaborations with SPRI and Takeda, our contract with NIAID, our
development of XOMA 052 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

General and administrative expenses include salaries and related personnel costs, facilities costs and
professional fees. In 2007, general and administrative expenses were $20.6 million compared with $18.1 million
in 2006 and $14.8 million in 2005.

The increase of $2.5 million compared with 2006 primarily relates to increased compensation costs.
Compensation costs in 2007 include $6.7 million in salaries, $1.4 million in bonus awards and $1.9 million in
share based compensation in 2007 compared with $6.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million in 2006,
respectively. The increase in share based compensation includes $0.9 million in share-based compensation costs
related to the CEO transition in the third quarter of 2007 and the increase in bonus awards includes the
implementation of BCP.

The increase of $3.3 million for 2006 compared with 2005 resulted primarily from increased employee
related costs, principally from additional legal and business development staffing, debt issuance expenses related
to our February 2006 convertible debt, and increased legal, audit and other consulting fees. In addition, during
2006, we recorded $0.5 million of share-based compensation expense. No share-based compensation expense
was recorded in 2005.

We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase in 2008 as a result of increases in

salaries and other personnel-related costs.

Investment and Interest Income

In 2007, investment and interest income was $1.9 million compared with $1.7 million and $1.9 million in
2006 and 2005, respectively. Investment and interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and
investment balances. The differences between 2007, 2006, and 2005 resulted from varying average cash balances
and interest rates.

Interest Expense

In 2007, interest expense was $11.6 million compared with $12.9 million and $4.3 million in 2006 and
2005, respectively. Interest expense for 2007 consisted of $6.1 million from the revaluation of the embedded
derivative related to the additional interest feature of our convertible debt, $0.2 million of interest expense on our
convertible debt, $0.1 million in net amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and premium on our
convertible debt, $3.4 million of interest expense on our Goldman Sachs loan, $0.4 million in amortization of
debt issuance costs on Goldman Sachs loan and $1.3 million of interest expense on our note with Novartis.

48

Interest expense for 2006 consisted of $6.9 million from the revaluation to fair market value of the
embedded derivative on our convertible debt, including $4.8 million related to shares paid for the additional
interest feature on converted debt, $3.4 million of interest expense payable on our convertible debt, $1.0 million
in net amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and premium on our convertible debt, $0.5 million of interest
payable on our term loan, $42,000 in amortization of debt issuance costs on our term loan and $1.0 million of
interest payable on our note with Novartis. Interest expense for 2005 consisted of $3.5 million of interest on our
convertible debt, $0.5 million in amortization of debt issuance costs on our convertible debt and $0.3 million of
interest payable on our note with Novartis.

Interest expense for 2008 is expected to decrease compared to 2007 due to the elimination of our convertible

debt, which represented $6.5 million of interest expense in 2007. This decrease may be offset by additional
interest expense in the event we obtain new financing.

Income Taxes

We have recorded cumulative net deferred tax assets of $205.6 million and $163.3 million at December 31,
2007 and 2006, 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 $205.6 million and $163.3 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
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, 2007, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $149.7 million

to offset future taxable income. We also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $11.3 million. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2008. Our activities in
Ireland and the adoption of FIN 48 in 2007 have allowed us to record previously unrecorded net operating losses
related to our Irish subsidiary. These net operating losses are subject to a full valuation allowance. 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 2007, income tax expense was zero compared with zero in 2006 and $3,000 in 2005. The expense in 2005

is related to activities of our foreign operations.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

Prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”
(“SFAS 123R”) on January, 1, 2006, we accounted for our share-based compensation plans under the intrinsic
value method described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” (“APB 25”) and related Interpretations as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by Financial Accounting Standards
No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). In general, as
the exercise price of the options granted under our plans was equal to the market price of the underlying common
shares on the grant date, no share-based employee compensation cost was recognized. As required by SFAS 148
prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we provided pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss)
per common share disclosures for share-based awards, as if SFAS 123 had been applied.

SFAS 123R requires all share based payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their

fair values. We elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and,
therefore, have not restated our financial results for prior periods to reflect expensing of share-based
compensation. As a result, the results for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are not comparable to the
year ended December 31, 2005.

In November of 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to
Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share Base Payment Awards,” which allowed a one-time election to adopt one

49

of two acceptable methodologies for calculating the initial additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”). We
elected the “short-cut” method to establish our APIC pool required under FAS 123(R) for the year ended
December 31, 2006. In subsequent periods, the APIC pool will be increased by tax benefits from share-based
compensation and decreased by tax deficiencies caused when the recorded share-based compensation for book
purposes exceeds the allowable tax deduction. As of December 31, 2007, we had not recorded any adjustments to
the APIC pool due to our loss position and the balance remained zero.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, our Board of Directors approved the acceleration of 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. Since the accelerated options had
exercise prices in excess of the current market value of our common shares, the options had limited economic
value and were not fully achieving their original objective of incentive compensation and employee retention.
The modification allows expense recognized after the adoption of SFAS 123R to better reflect our compensation
strategies.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized $2.9 million in share-based compensation
expense compared with $1.0 million in 2006. The increase of $1.9 million relates to annual grants in February
2007, a one-time employee grant in October 2007 (described below) and $0.9 million in share-based
compensation related to our CEO transition in the third quarter of 2007. At December 31, 2007, there was $6.9
million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested shares with a weighted-average
remaining recognition period of 3.2 years.

On October 31, 2007, our Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its compensation committee,
approved a company-wide grant to employees of additional options to purchase common shares. The purpose of
the grant was to improve the level of employee ownership in the business by using existing share based option
plans to bring the Company in line with competitive industry levels. Of the total of 6,635,000 options granted,
5,185,000 options were made subject to shareholder approval of a commensurate increase in the number of
shares available for the grant of options under the Company’s existing share option plans. As of December 31,
2007, the 5,185,000 shares are not included in any of the options outstanding disclosures, options granted
disclosures, or share-based compensation expense as they are not deemed granted for accounting purposes until
shareholder approval is obtained, and we expect our share based compensation expense to increase in future
years accordingly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2007 was $38.6 million compared with

$46.4 million and $43.5 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $7.8 million decrease
primarily reflects cash provided by operating activities of $4.5 million and net proceeds from short-term
investments of $2.3 million offset by cash used in the purchase of fixed assets of $9.5 million and $4.7 million
used in paying down the principal balance of the Goldman Sachs loan.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 million in 2007 compared with net cash used in

operations of $33.3 million in 2006 and $44.2 million in 2005.

Cash provided by operations for 2007 consisted of a net loss of $12.3 million with non-cash addbacks for

depreciation and amortization of $6.2 million, the revaluation of our embedded derivative of $6.1 million, equity
share-based compensation of $2.9 million, and the amortization of debt issuance costs and the premium or
discount on convertible notes of $0.6 million, as well as a net increase in liabilities of $4.5 million, which was
partially offset by cash payments for the additional interest feature of our convertible debt of $5.2 million and
$0.4 million of accrued interest on convertible debt and other interest bearing obligations. During the year ended
December 31, 2007, we made payments of $6.6 million for interest on our convertible debt, $3.1 million for
interest on our Goldman Sachs term loan, and $1.0 million for our Incentive Plans, which is paid in the first

50

quarter of each year. In October 2007, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the Incentive Plans
eliminating the provisions requiring payments to be made partly in Common Shares. Beginning in 2008, bonuses
awarded under the Incentive Plans will be paid entirely in cash.

Cash used in operations in 2006 consisted of a net loss of $51.8 million with non-cash addbacks for the
revaluation of our embedded derivative of $6.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $6.2 million, equity
related compensation of $2.1 million and accrued interest of $1.2 million along with a net increase in liabilities of
$10.4 million partially offset by an increase in assets of $8.2 million. During 2006, we made payments of $2.7
million for debt issuance costs on our convertible debt of which $2.0 million related to cash used in operations,
$3.8 million for interest on our convertible debt and $1.1 million for our Incentive Plans.

Cash used in operations for 2005, consisted of a net income of $2.8 million with non-cash deductions of

$40.9 million for a gain on the extinguishment of our debt with Genentech and a $0.3 million gain on a sale of
investments along with a net increase in assets of $4.2 million and a net decrease in liabilities of $10.4 million
partially offset by non-cash addbacks for depreciation and amortization of $5.8 million, equity related
compensation of $1.4 million and accrued interest of $1.7 million. During 2005, we made payments of $4.0
million on our Genentech collaboration liability, $1.9 million for interest on our convertible debt and $1.3
million for our Incentive Plans.

Net cash used in investing activities for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $8.8 million, $8.4 million and $27.4
million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $9.5
million, $8.5 million and $4.8 million and net proceeds from short-term investments of $2.3 million, $4.4 million
and net purchases of short-term investments of $22.5 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition,
$1.7 million was transferred to restricted cash in 2007.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $(1.2) million, $48.9 million

and $68.6 million, respectively. Financing activities in 2007 included $4.7 million in principal pay down of the
Goldman Sachs term loan offset by $2.8 million of additional draw down of the Novartis note and $0.7 million in
proceeds from the issuance of common shares. Financing activities in 2006 consisted of $35.0 million from our
term loan with Goldman Sachs, offset by $1.5 million in debt issuance costs, $12.5 million in proceeds from the
issuance of convertible notes, offset by $0.5 million in debt issuance costs, a $3.0 million advance on our
line-of-credit with Novartis and $0.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of common shares. Financing
activities in 2005, consisted of an issuance of $60.0 million of convertible senior notes for net proceeds of $56.4
million, a $12.4 million drawdown on our Novartis loan facility and $0.2 million in proceeds from the issuance
of common shares partially offset with principal payments on capital lease obligations of $0.2 million and
payments of short-term loan obligations of $0.1 million.

Due to the recent adverse developments in the credit markets, we may experience reduced liquidity with

respect to some of our short-term investments. These investments are generally held to maturity, which is
generally less than one year. However, if the need arose to liquidate such securities before maturity, we may
experience losses on liquidation. As of December 31, 2007, we held $8.6 million of auction rate securities, of
which $3.1 million failed at auction during the first quarter of 2008. As of March 7, 2008, we held $4.1 million
of these securities. To date we have not experienced any liquidity issues with respect to these securities, but
should such issues arise, we may be required to hold some, or all, of these securities until maturity. We believe
that, even allowing for potential liquidity issues with respect to these securities, our remaining cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next
twelve months. We have the ability and intent to hold our debt securities to maturity when they will be redeemed
at full par value. Accordingly, we consider unrealized losses to be temporary and have not recorded a provision
for impairment.

Goldman Sachs Term Loan

On November 9, 2006, XOMA (US) LLC entered into a five-year, $35.0 million term loan facility (“the
facility”) with Goldman Sachs and borrowed the full amount thereunder. The loan is guaranteed by XOMA.

51

Indebtedness under the facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to six-month LIBOR plus 5.25%, which
was 10.39% at December 31, 2007, and is secured by all rights to receive payments due XOMA (US) LLC
relating to RAPTIVA®, LUCENTIS® and CIMZIA™ and other assets. Payments received by XOMA (US) LLC
in respect of these payment rights, in addition to a standing reserve of the next semi-annual interest payment, will
be held in a custodial account which is classified as restricted cash. This cash account and the interest earned
thereon can be used solely for the payment of the interest amounts in March and September of each year and, at
that time, amounts in excess of the interest reserve requirement may be used to pay down principal or be
distributed back to us, at the discretion of the lender. XOMA (US) LLC may prepay indebtedness under the
facility at any time, subject to certain prepayment premiums. XOMA (US) LLC is required to comply with a debt
covenant determined by the ratio of royalties collected to interest payable. Proceeds from the loan will be used
for general corporate purposes.

At December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal amount under this loan totaled $30.3 million and the
balance in restricted cash was $6.0 million. Debt issuance costs of $1.5 million are being amortized on a straight-
line basis over the five year life of the loan and are disclosed as current and long-term debt issuance costs on the
balance sheet. In 2007, we incurred interest expense payable of $3.4 million and amortization of debt issuance
costs of $0.3 million.

Novartis Note

In May of 2005, we executed a secured note agreement with Novartis. Under the note agreement, Novartis

agreed to make semi-annual loans to us, to fund up to 75% of our 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 6.75% at December 31, 2007, and is payable semi-annually in June and December of each
year. At our 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 our interest in the collaboration with Novartis, including our share of any profits
arising therefrom. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal balance under this note agreement totaled
$20.6 million and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we incurred and capitalized interest
expense of $1.3 million, $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Convertible Debt

In February of 2006, we completed an exchange offer with holders of our 6.5% convertible senior notes due

2012 in which we exchanged $60.0 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 were initially convertible into
approximately 38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of common shares per $1,000
principal amount of New Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $1.87 per common
share.

We separately accounted for the additional interest payment feature of the New Notes as an embedded
derivative instrument, which was measured at fair value and classified on the balance sheet with the convertible
debt. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative were recognized in earnings as a component of other
income (expense). The initial fair value of the derivative was subtracted from the carrying value of the debt,
reflected as a debt discount, which was amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method through
the date the notes were scheduled to mature, and separately reported as a derivative liability.

52

The additional New Notes were issued to the initial purchasers for net proceeds of $11.8 million. Debt
issuance costs related to the New Notes of approximately $0.7 million were being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the original 72 month life of the notes. Additional debt issuance costs of $2.0 million, related to the
modification of the existing debt, were expensed as incurred with $1.1 million and $0.9 million expensed during
the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

At the time of note conversion, unamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs related to the

converted notes was charged to shareholder’s equity.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, $27.5 million of New Notes were converted into 18,262,264 common

shares including 3,602,879 shares related to the additional interest payment feature of the notes. As of December 31,
2006, we have elected to pay all additional interest owed in common shares. We recorded a $6.9 million charge to
interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of an increase in the fair value of the
embedded derivative on our convertible debt including $4.8 million related to the additional interest feature of the
converted notes. The remaining principal for the New Notes was $44.5 million as of December 31, 2006.

During the first quarter of 2007, $42.0 million of New Notes were voluntarily converted by holders through
March 7, 2007, at which time we announced that we had elected to automatically convert 100% of the remaining
$2.5 million of New Notes outstanding. As a result, during the quarter 25,640,187 shares were issued to effect the
conversion of the principal balances. Additionally, we issued 1,889,317 shares and $5.2 million in cash to satisfy
the remaining additional interest payment feature related to these converted New Notes. We recorded a $6.1
million charge to interest expense during the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the revaluation of the embedded
derivative related to the additional interest feature of the convertible notes.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we incurred $0.2 million, $3.4 million and $3.5

million, respectively, in interest expense on our convertible debt. Additionally, we amortized a net of $0.1
million, $1.0 million and $0.5 million in debt issuance costs, premium and discount for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Purchase Obligations

In September of 2007, we entered into a five year purchase agreement for custom cell culture medium for
use in our research and development activities. Under the terms of the agreement we are obligated to meet certain
annual purchase commitments. These commitments are included in the schedule of contractual obligations
below.

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 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, aggregating up to $58.3 million
have not been recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We are unable to determine precisely when and if our
payment obligations under the agreements will become due as these obligations are based on milestone events,
the achievement of which is subject to a significant number of risks and uncertainties.

We currently anticipate continued losses in 2008. Our strategy is to attempt to continue broadening our
product pipeline through internal development, additional collaborations such as our arrangements with SPRI and
Takeda and additional government and other external contracts such as those with NIAID; and to increase
revenues or benefits from cost sharing arrangements which take advantage of our manufacturing and
development capabilities.

We expect our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to decrease during 2008 as a result of the

use of cash to fund ongoing operations and capital investments. Additional licensing, antibody discovery
collaboration agreements and potential financing agreements may positively impact our cash balances.

Based on current spending levels, anticipated revenues, collaborator funding, 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 the next twelve months. 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. 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 “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A.

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

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS

No. 157 establishes a common definition for fair value, creates a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosure requirements about such fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the first
quarter of 2008. We are in the process of studying the impact of this interpretation on our financial accounting
and reporting, however, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159
provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Furthermore,
SFAS No. 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between
companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159
will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2008. We are in the process of studying the impact of
this interpretation on our financial accounting and reporting, however, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS
No. 159 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue 07-03, “Accounting for Advance Payments

for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development” (EITF No. 07-03). EITF No. 07-03
addresses the diversity which exists with respect to the accounting for the non-refundable portion of a payment
made by a research and development entity for future research and development activities. Under EITF
No. 07-03, an entity would defer and capitalize non-refundable advance payments made for research and
development activities until the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. EITF No. 07-03
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. We do not
expect the adoption of EITF No. 07-03 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.

Accounting for Collaborative Agreements

In December of 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 07-01 “Accounting for Collaborative

Agreements” (“EITF 07-01”). EITF 07-01 prohibits companies from applying the equity method of accounting to
activities performed outside a separate legal entity by a virtual joint venture. Instead, revenues and costs incurred
with third parties in connection with the collaborative arrangement should be presented gross or net by the
collaborators based on the criteria in EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net
as an Agent , and other applicable accounting literature. The consensus should be applied to collaborative
arrangements in existence at the date of adoption using a modified retrospective method that requires
reclassification in all periods presented for those arrangements still in effect at the transition date, unless that
application is impracticable. The consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We
are currently evaluating EITF 07-01 and its impact, if any, on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.

Subsequent Events

As of March 7, 2008 we had $4.1 million of our investment portfolio invested in auction rate securities.
These auction rate securities provide liquidity through an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at
predetermined calendar intervals, usually every 35 days. If the auctions for the securities we own fail, the
investments may not be readily convertible to cash until a future auction of these investments is successful.
During the first quarter of 2008, auctions for $3.1 million of our investments in auction rate securities failed.
Based on our ability to access our cash and other short-term investments, our expected operating cash flows, and
our other sources of cash, we do not expect the current lack of liquidity on these investments will affect our
ability to operate our business.

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

Certain statements contained herein related to the sufficiency of our cash resources, levels of future
revenues, losses, expenses and cash, future sales of approved products, 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, if funds are not otherwise available on
acceptable terms; revenue levels may be other than as expected if sales of approved products are lower than
expected; losses may be other than as expected for any of the reasons affecting revenues and expenses; expense
levels and cash utilization may be other than as expected due to unanticipated changes in our research and

55

development programs; and the sales efforts for approved products may not be successful if the parties
responsible for marketing and sales fail to meet their 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 1A—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 facilities. 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 November of 2006, we entered into a five-year senior term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $35.0
million with the principal due at maturity. Interest on the facility will be at a rate of USD six month LIBOR plus
5.25%, which was 10.39% at December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2007, we have drawn down $20.6 million against the Novartis $50.0 million loan
facility that is due in 2015 at an interest rate of USD six month LIBOR plus 2 percent which was 6.75% at
December 31, 2007.

We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates could increase or decrease our

interest expense by approximately $516,000 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.

Due to the recent adverse developments in the credit markets, we may experience reduced liquidity with

respect to some of our short-term investments. These investments are generally held to maturity, which is
generally less than one year. However, if the need arose to liquidate such securities before maturity, we may
experience losses on liquidation. As of December 31, 2007, we held $8.6 million of auction rate securities, of
which $3.1 million failed at auction during the first quarter of 2008. As of March 7, 2008, we held $4.1 million
of these securities. To date we have not experienced any liquidity issues with respect to these securities, but
should such issues arise, we may be required to hold some, or all, of these securities until maturity. We believe
that, even allowing for potential liquidity issues with respect to these securities, our remaining cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next
twelve months. We have the ability and intent to hold our debt securities to maturity when they will be redeemed
at full par value. Accordingly, we consider unrealized losses to be temporary and have not recorded a provision
for impairment.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

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

Chief Executive Officer and President 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to
disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial
Officer, as the principal executive and financial officers, respectively, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President
and our Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

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 2007 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 (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-159f). 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

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

2007. 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, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting is effective
based on those criteria.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, 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 the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting follows.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any
changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31,
2007, and has concluded that there was no change during such quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of XOMA Ltd.

We have audited XOMA Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, 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 included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 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, assessing the risk that a
material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk, 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, XOMA Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial

reporting as of December 31, 2007, 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, 2007 and 2006 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, 2007 of XOMA Ltd., and our report dated March 10,
2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of XOMA Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of XOMA Ltd. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and
the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (net capital deficiency), and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of XOMA
Ltd.’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 financial

position of XOMA Ltd. at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2006 XOMA Ltd. changed its method of accounting

for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.”

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

(United States), XOMA Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, 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 10, 2008 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 receives royalties from Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) on two approved
products, RAPTIVA®, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, and LUCENTIS®, for the
treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration. XOMA’s pipeline includes both proprietary
products and collaborative programs at various stages of preclinical and clinical development.

The Company may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financings, strategic
relationships, or other arrangements. The Company cannot assure that the funding, if needed, will be available on
terms attractive to it, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financings may be dilutive to stockholders and
debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and
when needed could have a negative impact on it financial condition and its ability to pursue business strategy. If
adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or
more of its development programs. The Company’s expense structure includes discretionary expenditures that
are within the Company’s control.

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.

Use of Estimates and Reclassifications

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition,
research and development expense, long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other market specific and other relevant assumptions that are
believed 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 significantly from these estimates.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to our consolidated financial statements to

conform to the current period presentation.

Concentration of Risk

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash 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 2007, four customers
represented 36%, 20%, 16% and 13% of total revenues and as of December 31, 2007, there were billed and
unbilled receivables of $10.9 million outstanding from three of these customers representing 42%, 31% and 26%
of the accounts receivable balance. In 2006, two customers represented 40% and 35% of total revenues and as of
December 31, 2006, there were billed and unbilled receivables of $11.2 million outstanding from these customers
and one additional customer representing 45%, 26% and 13% of the balance. In 2005, four customers represented

F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

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.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following policies are critical to an understanding of the Company’s 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
expected period of the continuing performance obligation. The Company estimates the performance period at the
inception of the arrangement and reevaluates it each reporting period. This reevaluation may shorten or lengthen
the period over which the remaining revenue is recognized. Changes to these estimates are recorded on a
prospective basis.

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 expected 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
and contract manufacturing services for collaborative partners, biodefense contracts or others. Revenues for these
contracts are accounted for by a proportional performance, or output based, method where performance is based
on estimated progress made toward elements defined in the contract. The Company recognizes revenue under

F-8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

these arrangements as the related research and development costs are incurred and collectibility is reasonably
assured. The amount of contract revenue and related costs recognized in each accounting period are based on
management’s estimates of the proportional performance during the period towards elements defined in the
contract. Adjustments to management’s estimates based on actual performance are recognized on a prospective
basis and do not result in reversal of revenues should the estimate to complete be extended.

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 of Financial Accounting

Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” 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

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS
123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards made to the Company’s employees and directors, including employee share options and employee share
purchases related to the Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), on estimated fair values.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its share-based
compensation plans under the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations as permitted by SFAS
No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). In general, as the

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

exercise price of the options granted under the Company’s plans was equal to the market price of the underlying
common shares on the grant date, no share-based employee compensation cost was recognized. As required by
SFAS 148 prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company provided pro forma net income (loss) and pro
forma net income (loss) per common share disclosures for share-based awards, as if SFAS 123 had been applied.

SFAS 123R requires all share based payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their
fair values. The Company is using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation
cost recognized during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, include compensation cost for all share-
based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 amortized on a graded vesting basis over the
options’ vesting period, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1,
2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R amortized on
a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period. The Company elected to use the modified prospective
transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and, therefore, has not restated its financial results for prior
periods to reflect expensing of share-based compensation. As a result, the results for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 are not comparable to the earlier years.

In November of 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related
to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share Base Payment Awards,” which allowed a one-time election to adopt
one of two acceptable methodologies for calculating the initial additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”). The
Company elected the “short-cut” method to establish its APIC pool required under SFAS 123(R) for the year
ended December 31, 2006. In subsequent periods, the APIC pool will be increased by tax benefits from share-
based compensation and decreased by tax deficiencies caused when the recorded share-based compensation for
book purposes exceeds the allowable tax deduction. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had not recorded
any adjustments to the APIC pool due to its loss position and the balance remained zero.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share had the
Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to account for its share plans and ESPP for

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is $0.02 and $0.01 lower for the years ended December 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, as a result of implementing SFAS 123R. There was no capitalized
share-based compensation cost as of December 31, 2007. There were no recognized tax benefits during the year
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R had no impact on cash flows from operations,
investing or financing.

To estimate the value of an award, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model

requires inputs such as expected life, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate. The forfeiture rate also
impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant
analysis and judgment to develop. While estimates of expected life, volatility and forfeiture rate are derived
primarily from the Company’s historical data, the risk-free rate is based on the yield available on United States
Treasury zero-coupon issues.

The fair value of share based awards was estimated using a Black-Scholes model with the following

weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved
the acceleration of 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 the Company’s earnings in
2005. Since the accelerated options had exercise prices in excess of the current market value of the Company’s
common shares, the options had limited economic value and were not fully achieving their original objective of
incentive compensation and employee retention. The modification allows expense recognized after the adoption
of SFAS 123R to better reflect the Company’s compensation strategies.

Unvested share activity for the year ended December 31, 2007, is summarized below:

At December 31, 2007, there was $6.9 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to

unvested share options with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of 3.2 years. The estimated fair
value of options vested during 2007 and 2006 $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total intrinsic value of
options exercised was $0.4 million in 2007 and $1,400 during 2006 as few employees elected to exercise options
due to the nature of vested options being out of the money. Total cash received from share option exercises
during 2007 was $0.4 million.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48,

“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The application of income tax law is inherently complex and the laws and
regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, the Company is required to make
many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding the Company’s income tax exposures. Interpretations of
and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the Company’s
subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets and statements of income.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common

shares outstanding during the period.

The following outstanding securities were considered in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per

share. Those that are antidilutive were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share (in

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. At December 31, 2007, $0.6 million in short-term investments had
maturities of one year to 18 months. The Company has recorded these investments as current as these
investments are available for current operations and management’s intent is to realize these investments as
required to fund current operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

State and municipal debt securities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 included $8.6 million and $14.6,

respectively, in auction securities with average ratings by Standard & Poors/Moody’s of Aaa. See further
discussion of the Company’s auction securities in Note 10, “Subsequent Events,” to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

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 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 or recovery and not incur
any recognized losses. As a result, the Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent an other-than-
temporary impairment. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were zero, zero and
$0.3 million in realized gains on short-term investments. The 2005 gain was related to equity securities. Gains
and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

The estimate of fair value is based on publicly available market information.

Restricted Cash

Under the terms of its loan agreement with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc. (“Goldman
Sachs”), the Company maintains a custodial account for the deposit of RAPTIVA®, LUCENTIS® and CIMZIA™
royalty revenues in addition to a standing reserve of the next semi-annual interest payment due on the loan. This
cash account and the interest earned thereon can be used solely for the payment of the semi-annual interest
amounts due in March and September of each year and, at that time, amounts in excess of the interest reserve
requirement may be used to pay down principal or be distributed back to the Company, at the discretion of the
lender. At December 31, 2007, the restricted cash was invested in money market funds.

See Note 4, “Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements,” for additional discussion of the Goldman Sachs

term loan.

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.

Deferred Revenue

The Company defers revenue until all requirements under its revenue recognition policy are met. In 2007,

the Company deferred $23.3 million of revenue from five contracts including Schering Plough Research Institute
(“SPRI”) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) and recognized $22.2 million of revenue
from the five contracts including the amortization of the $4.3 million from the $10.0 million in upfront payments
received from Novartis AG (“Novartis,” formerly known as Chiron Corporation) for our February 2004 oncology
collaboration contract.

F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

In February of 2007, the Company announced that pursuant to the terms of its February 2004 collaboration
agreement with Novartis, the parties’ mutual exclusivity obligation to conduct antibody discovery, development
and commercialization work in oncology had ended. The expiration of this mutual obligation has no impact on
the existing collaboration projects which have reached the development stage and the parties may continue to
collaborate on a non-exclusive basis. The entire remaining unamortized balance of $4.3 million, at December 31,
2006, associated with the upfront collaboration fee of $10.0 million was recognized in 2007 due to the change in
estimate from five years to three years.

In 2006, the Company deferred $25.2 million of revenue from eight contracts including SPRI, NIAID,

Takeda and Taligen Therapeutics, Inc. and recognized $16.1 million in revenue from the eight contracts
including $2.0 million in amortization of the $10.0 million in upfront payments received from Novartis. The

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

securities approximates their fair value.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash paid for interest was $3.1 million, $3.8 million and $2.4 million during the years ended December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately zero, zero and $3,000 during
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Income taxes paid are related to activities of
the Company’s foreign operations.

Non-cash transactions from financing activities consisted of the conversion of $44.5 million in convertible

notes to equity and payment of $1.9 million of the additional interest feature in common shares for the year
ended December 31, 2007. In addition, interest of $1.3 million, $1.0 million and $0.3 million on the Novartis
secured loan was capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 4,

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In September of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157

establishes a common definition for fair value, creates a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosure requirements about such fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company’s first
quarter of 2008. The Company is in the process of studying the impact of this interpretation on its financial
accounting and reporting, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material
impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February of 2007, FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities—Including an amendment of SFAS 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an
option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Furthermore, SFAS 159 establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 will be effective for the
Company beginning on January 1, 2008. The Company is in the process of studying the impact of this
interpretation on its financial accounting and reporting, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development

In June of 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue 07-03, “Accounting for Advance
Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development” (“EITF 07-03”). EITF 07-03
addresses the diversity which exists with respect to the accounting for the non-refundable portion of a payment
made by a research and development entity for future research and development activities. Under EITF 07-03, an
entity would defer and capitalize non-refundable advance payments made for research and development activities
until the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the
adoption of EITF 07-03 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Collaborative Agreements

In December of 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative

Agreements” (“EITF 07-01”). EITF 07-01 prohibits companies from applying the equity method of accounting to
activities performed outside a separate legal entity by a virtual joint venture. Instead, revenues and costs incurred
with third parties in connection with the collaborative arrangement should be presented gross or net by the
collaborators based on the criteria in EITF Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent, and other applicable accounting literature. The consensus should be applied to collaborative arrangements
in existence at the date of adoption using a modified retrospective method that requires reclassification in all
periods presented for those arrangements still in effect at the transition date, unless that application is
impracticable. The consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating EITF 07-01 and its impact, if any, on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.

2. License Agreements

XOMA has granted over 50 licenses to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for use of patented
and proprietary technologies relating to bacterial expression of recombinant pharmaceutical products. Eight of
these are license arrangements related to the use of XOMA’s Bacterial Cell Expression (“BCE”) system
technology in phage display. As part of these arrangements, Affimed Therapeutics AG, Affitech AS, BioInvent
International AB, Biosite Incorporated, Cambridge Antibody Technology Limited, Diversa Corporation, Dyax
Corp. and MorphoSys AG received licenses to use XOMA’s antibody expression technology for developing
products using phage display-based antibody libraries (except in the case of MorphoSys AG, whose library
license with XOMA has expired). 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 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.

3. Collaborative and Licensing Agreements

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

approximately $20.4 million, $20.1 million and $16.6 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Genentech

In April of 1996, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Genentech for the development
of RAPTIVA®. In March of 2003, it 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 the
Company to share in the development costs and to receive a 25% share of future United States operating profits
and losses and a royalty on sales outside the United States. The agreements also called for Genentech to finance
the Company’s share of development costs up until first FDA marketing approval via a convertible subordinated
loan, and its 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, the Company 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 the Company’s 25% share of United States

F-18

XOMA Ltd.

operating profits on the product. On December 22, 2003, the Company 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.

In January of 2005, the Company announced a restructuring of its arrangement with Genentech on

RAPTIVA®. Under the restructured arrangement, effective January 1, 2005, the Company is 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 is responsible for all
operating and development costs associated with the product. Genentech may elect and the Company may agree
to provide further clinical trial or other development services at Genentech’s expense. In addition, the
Company’s obligation to pay the outstanding balance to Genentech of $40.9 million under the development loan,
including accrued interest, was extinguished.

See Note 4, “Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements,” for additional discussion of the financing

arrangement between XOMA and Genentech.

In December of 1998, the Company licensed its BCE technology to Genentech, which utilized it to develop
LUCENTIS® for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration. The Company is entitled
to receive an undisclosed royalty on worldwide sales of LUCENTIS®.

The Company is recognizing RAPTIVA® and LUCENTIS® royalty revenue when the underlying sales
occur. Total royalties recognized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $16.7 million,
$10.3 million, and $6.2 million, respectively.

Novartis

In February of 2004, XOMA entered into an exclusive multi-product collaboration with Novartis 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%.
Novartis’ profit share is subject to a limited upward adjustment, which, in turn, may be reduced if the Company
achieves certain milestones. XOMA received initial payments totaling $10.0 million in 2004 which originally
was being recognized ratably over five years, the expected term of the agreement, as license and collaborative
fees.

In February of 2007, the Company announced the parties’ mutual exclusivity obligation to conduct antibody

discovery, development and commercialization work in oncology had ended. The expiration of this mutual
obligation had no impact on the existing collaboration projects which had reached the development stage and the
parties continue to collaborate on a non-exclusive basis. The entire remaining unamortized balance of $4.3
million, at December 31, 2006, associated with the upfront collaboration fee of $10.0 million was recognized in
2007 due to the change in estimate from five years to three years.

A loan facility of up to $50.0 million is available to the Company to fund up to 75% of its share of

development expenses incurred beginning in 2005. See Note 4, “Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements,” for
additional discussion of the financing arrangement between XOMA and Novartis.

NIAID

In July of 2006, the Company was awarded a $16.3 million contract (Contract No. HHSN266200600008C/

N01-Al-60008) funded with Federal funds from NIAID, a part of the National Institutes of Health, Department of
Health and Human Services, to produce monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of botulism to protect United
States citizens against the harmful effects of botulinum neurotoxins used in bioterrorism. The contract work is
being performed on a cost plus fixed fee basis over a three year period. The Company is recognizing revenue as
the services are being performed on a proportional performance basis.

In March of 2005, the Company was awarded a $15.0 million contract from NIAID to develop three anti-
botulinum neurotoxin monoclonal antibody therapeutics. The contract work was performed over an 18-month
period and was 100% funded with Federal funds from NIAID under Contract No. HHSN266200500004C. The
Company recognized revenue over the life of the contract as the services were performed on a proportional
performance basis, and, as per the terms of the contract, a 10% retention on all revenue was deferred and
classified as a receivable until final acceptance of the contract which was achieved in October of 2006.

Schering Plough

In May of 2006, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with the Schering Plough Research

Institute (“SPRI”) division of Schering Corporation for therapeutic monoclonal antibody discovery and
development. Under the agreement, SPRI will make upfront, annual maintenance and milestone payments to the
Company, fund the Company’s research and development and manufacturing activities related to the agreement
and pay the Company royalties on sales of products resulting from the collaboration. During the collaboration,
the Company will discover therapeutic antibodies against one or more targets selected by SPRI, use the
Company’s proprietary HE™ technology to humanize antibody candidates generated by hybridoma techniques,
perform pre-clinical studies to support regulatory filings, cell line and process development and produce
antibodies for initial clinical trials. The Company will recognize revenue on the upfront payments on a straight-
line basis over the expected term of each target antibody discovery, on the research and development and
manufacturing services as they are performed, on the maintenance fees when they are due, on the milestones
when they are achieved and on the royalties when the underlying sales occur.

Schering Plough/AVEO

In April of 2006, XOMA entered into an agreement with AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“AVEO”) to utilize

XOMA’s HE™ technology to humanize AV-299 under which AVEO paid XOMA an up-front license fee and
development milestones. Under this agreement XOMA created four HE™ versions of the original AV-299, all of
which met design goals and from which AVEO selected one as its lead development candidate. In the future,
AVEO will pay annual maintenance fees, additional development milestones and royalties.

In September of 2006, as a result of the successful humanization of AV-299, XOMA entered into a second

agreement with AVEO to manufacture and supply AV-299, AVEO’s novel anti-HGF antibody, in support of
early clinical trials. Under the agreement, XOMA will create AV-299 production cell lines and conduct process
and assay development as well as Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) manufacturing activities in support
of AVEO’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) filing and early clinical trials. As between AVEO and XOMA,
AVEO retains all development and commercialization rights to AV-299.

In April of 2007, SPRI entered into a research, development and license agreement with AVEO concerning

AV-299 and other anti-HGF molecules. In connection with the aforementioned license agreement, AVEO has
assigned its entire right, title and interest in, to and under its manufacturing agreement with XOMA to SPRI.

In November of 2006, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Takeda for therapeutic

monoclonal antibody discovery and development. Under the agreement, Takeda will make upfront, annual
maintenance and milestone payments to the Company, fund its research and development and manufacturing
activities for preclinical and early clinical supplies and pay royalties on sales of products resulting from the
collaboration. Takeda will be responsible for clinical trials and commercialization of drugs after a Investigational
New Drug Application (“IND”) submission and is granted the right to manufacture once the product enters into
Phase 2 clinical trials. During the collaboration, the Company will discover therapeutic antibodies against
multiple targets selected by Takeda. The Company will recognize revenue on the upfront payments on a straight-
line basis over the expected term of each target antibody discovery, on the research and development and
manufacturing services as they are performed, on the maintenance fees when they are due, on the milestones
when they are achieved and on the royalties when the underlying sales occur.

Lexicon

In June of 2005, XOMA entered into a collaboration agreement with Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

(“Lexicon”) to jointly develop and commercialize antibody drugs for certain targets discovered by Lexicon. The
initial term of the collaboration is three years and it 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. The Company
will generate or engineer antibodies that modulate the collaboration’s targets using phage display libraries and its
proprietary Human Engineering (“HE™”) technology and will have principal responsibility for manufacturing
antibodies for use in clinical trials and commercial sales. Lexicon and XOMA will share the responsibility and
costs for research, preclinical, clinical and commercialization activities on a 65-35 basis, with the Company’s
share being 35%.

Pfizer

In August of 2007, XOMA entered into a license agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) for non-exclusive,

worldwide rights for XOMA’s patented bacterial cell expression (BCE) technology for research (including phage
display), development and manufacturing of antibody products. Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA
received an initial license fee payment of $30 million and will receive milestone (licensee achievement based),
royalty and other fees on future sales of all products subject to this license, including products currently in late-
stage clinical development. The Company has no further obligations under the license agreement. As such, the
$30.0 million was recorded as license fee revenue in the accompanying statement of operations.

Other

In July of 2007 the Company reached an agreement with a major collaborator to resolve its liability for
material cost charges incurred pursuant to the collaboration arrangement. As a result, the Company reduced its
research and development costs by $2.8 million included in the statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2007. Additionally, as of September 30, 2007, the Company eliminated an approximate $1.8
million liability carried on the balance sheet since December 31, 2006 and established a collaboration receivable
balance of $1.0 million for the remaining balance related to the material cost charges liability resolution, which
was collected prior to December 31, 2007.

4. Convertible Notes and Other Arrangements

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had long-term debt of $50.9 million, including $30.3 million
outstanding from the Goldman Sachs term loan and $20.6 million outstanding from the Novartis note. In 2007
XOMA incurred interest expense of $11.6 million, including $3.8 million related to Goldman Sachs, $1.3 million
related to Novartis, and $6.5 million related to the convertible debt. In 2007, the Company eliminated all of its
convertible debt, the details of which are disclosed in the section titled, “Convertible Senior Notes”.

Term Loan

On November 9, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year, $35.0 million term loan facility (“the facility”)

with Goldman Sachs and borrowed the full amount thereunder. Indebtedness under the facility will bear interest
at an annual rate equal to six-month LIBOR plus 5.25%, which was 10.39% at December 31, 2007, and is
secured by all rights to receive payments due the Company relating to RAPTIVA®, LUCENTIS® and CIMZIA™
and other assets of the Company. Payments received by the Company in respect of these payment rights, in
addition to a standing reserve of the next semi-annual interest payment, will be held in a custodial account which
is classified as restricted cash. This cash account and the interest earned thereon can be used solely for the
payment of the semi-annual interest amounts due in March and September of each year and, at that time, amounts
in excess of the interest reserve requirement may be used to pay down principal or be distributed back to the
Company, at the discretion of the lender. The Company may prepay indebtedness under the facility at any time,
subject to certain prepayment premiums. The Company is required to comply with a debt covenant determined
by the ratio of royalties collected to interest payable and XOMA is in compliance with the covenant as of
December 31, 2007. Proceeds from the loan will be used for general corporate purposes.

At December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal amount under this loan totaled $30.3 million and related
restricted cash was $6.0 million. Debt issuance costs of $1.5 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over the five year life of the loan and are disclosed as current and long-term debt issuance costs on the balance
sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred interest expense of $3.4 million
and $0.5 million, respectively and amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.3 million and $42,000, respectively.

Novartis

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

Novartis 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 six-month LIBOR plus
2%, which was equal to 6.75% at December 31, 2007, 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 Novartis,
including its share of any profits arising therefrom. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal balance
under this note agreement totaled $20.6 million and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the
Company incurred interest expense of $1.3 million, $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, all of which was
added to the outstanding principal balance.

XOMA Ltd.

Convertible Senior Notes

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 (the “New Notes”) for all $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its then
outstanding convertible senior notes due 2012. The Company 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
were initially convertible into approximately 38.4 million common shares at a conversion rate of 533.4756 of
common shares per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of
approximately $1.87 per common share.

The Company separately accounted for the additional interest payment feature of the New Notes as an
embedded derivative instrument, which was measured at fair value and classified on the balance sheet with the
convertible debt. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative were recognized in earnings as a
component of other income (expense). The initial fair value of the derivative was subtracted from the carrying
value of the debt, reflected as a debt discount, which was amortized as interest expense using the effective
interest method through the date the notes were scheduled to mature, and separately reported as a derivative
liability.

The additional New Notes were issued to the initial purchasers for net proceeds of $11.8 million. Debt
issuance costs related to the New Notes of approximately $0.7 million were being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the original 72 month life of the notes. Additional debt issuance costs of $2.0 million, related to the
modification of the existing debt, were expensed as incurred with $1.1 million and $0.9 million expensed during
the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

At the time of note conversion, unamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs related to the

converted notes were charged to shareholders’ equity.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, convertible debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

During the first quarter of 2007, $42.0 million of New Notes were voluntarily converted by holders through

March 7, 2007, at which time the Company announced that it had elected to automatically convert all of the
remaining $2.5 million of New Notes outstanding. As a result, during the first quarter of 2007, 25,640,187 of
common shares were issued to effect the conversion of the principal balances. Additionally, the Company issued
1,889,317 shares and $5.2 million in cash to satisfy the remaining additional interest payment feature related to
these converted New Notes. The Company recorded a $6.1 million charge to interest expense as a result of the
revaluation of the embedded derivative related to the additional interest feature of the convertible notes.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, $27.5 million of New Notes were converted into 18,262,264
common shares including 3,602,879 shares related to the additional interest payment feature of the notes. As of
December 31, 2006, the Company elected to pay all additional interest owed in common shares. The Company

F-23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

XOMA Ltd.

recorded a $6.9 million charge to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of an
increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative on its convertible debt including $4.8 million related to the
additional interest feature of the converted notes.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred $0.2 million, $3.4 million

and $3.5 million, respectively, in interest expense on its convertible debt. Interest expense was payable on a
semi-annual basis. Additionally, the Company amortized a net of $0.1 million, $1.0 million, and $0.5 million in
debt issuance costs, premium and discount for the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Genentech

Under an arrangement with Genentech, 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 interest rate was LIBOR
plus 1%.

The agreement was amended on 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
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 United States 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 United States
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 was 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.

under the MICP prior to 2004 vested 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 remained an employee of the Company. The 50% on the first distribution date was payable half in
cash and half in common shares. The balance on the next two annual distribution dates was 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 final payout under this plan occurred in 2006.

In October of 2007, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the incentive plans eliminating the
requirement for bonus awards to be paid partially in shares. Beginning with awards related to the year ended
December 31, 2007, the bonus awards are paid entirely in cash. The number of common shares issued pursuant to
awards made for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 177,180, and these shares were reserved under the
Restricted Plan (as defined below).

The amounts charged to expense under the incentive plans were $4.0 million, $1.9 million and $1.5 million
for the plan years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, $4.1 million was accrued related
to these plans.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

In 1998, the Company’s 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. Up to 1,500,000 common shares are authorized 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 2007, 2006, and 2005, employees purchased 83,338, 234,535 and 129,433 common shares, respectively
under the Share Purchase Plan. Net payroll deductions under the Share Purchase Plan totaled $0.3 million, $0.4
million and $47,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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”) are authorized and granted at the
rate of one Right for each outstanding common share. 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

F-26

XOMA Ltd.

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 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 $0.001 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, 2007, the Company had share-based compensation plans, as described below. The

aggregate number of common shares that may be issued under these plans is 16,315,000 shares.

On October 31, 2007, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its compensation committee,
approved a company-wide grant to employees of additional options to purchase common shares. The purpose of
the grant was to improve the level of employee ownership in the business by using existing share based option
plans to bring the Company in line with competitive industry levels. Of the total of 6,635,000 options granted,
5,185,000 options were made subject to shareholder approval of a commensurate increase in the number of
shares available for the grant of options under the Company’s existing share option plans. As of December 31,
2007, the 5,185,000 shares are not included in any of the options outstanding disclosures, options granted
disclosures, or share-based compensation expense as they are not deemed granted for accounting purposes until
shareholder approval is obtained.

Share Option Plan

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

non-qualified share options to employees and other individuals, as determined by the Board of Directors, at
exercise prices of not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant.
Options granted under the Option Plan may be exercised when vested and generally expire ten years from the
date of the grant or three months from the date of termination of employment (longer in case of death or certain
retirements). Options granted generally vest over four years and certain options may fully vest upon a change of
control of the Company. The Option Plan will terminate on November 15, 2011.

Up to 14,600,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the Option Plan. As of December 31, 2007,

options covering 9,051,720 common shares were outstanding under the Option Plan, excluding the
5,185,000 million shares subject to shareholder approval of the increase in number of shares available under the
plan.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company also has a Restricted Share Plan (“Restricted Plan”) which provides for the issuance of
options or grants of common shares to certain employees and other individuals as determined by the Board of
Directors at fair market value of the common shares on the grant date. Prior to 2005, options or shares could be
granted 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 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 years and certain options may fully
vest upon a change of control of the Company. The Restricted Plan will terminate on November 15, 2011.

Up to 2,250,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the Restricted Plan, subject to the condition that

not more than 14,600,000 shares are authorized under both the Option Plan and the Restricted Plan. As of
December 31, 2007, options covering 563,900 common shares were outstanding under the Restricted Plan.

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 generally vest on the date of grant and have a term of up to ten years. As of
December 31, 2007, options for 377,500 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.

In August of 2007, the Company granted a non-qualified option to Steven B. Engle, the newly appointed

CEO, to purchase 1,100,000 common shares at 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.
The option is subject to the Company’s typical four year vesting schedule and will expire 10 years from the date
of issuance. The option was not issued as part of the Company’s Option Plan or the Restricted Plan.

XOMA Ltd.

The weighted-average remaining contractual term of outstanding share options at December 31, 2007, was

7.7 years and the aggregate intrinsic value was $6.7 million. The weighted-average remaining contractual term of
exercisable share options at December 31, 2007, was 5.8 years and the aggregate intrinsic value was $2.6 million.

Warrants

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. The warrants were exercisable upon issuance. These warrants
expire in July of 2008. As of December 31, 2007, there were 125,000 of these warrants outstanding.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Collaborative Agreements, Royalties and Milestone Payments

The Company is obligated to pay royalties, ranging generally from 1.5% to 5% of the selling price of the
licensed component and up to 40% of any sublicense fees to various universities and other research institutions
based on future sales or licensing of products that incorporate certain products and technologies developed by
those institutions.

In addition, the Company has committed to make potential future “milestone” payments to third parties as

part of licensing and development programs. Payments under these agreements 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, aggregating up to $58.3 million have not been
recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is unable to determine precisely when and if payment
obligations under the agreements will become due as these obligations are based on milestone events, the
achievement of which is subject to a significant number of risks and uncertainties.

Purchase Obligations

In September of 2007, XOMA entered into a five year purchase agreement for custom cell culture medium

for use in research and development activities. Under the terms of the agreement the Company is obligated to
meet certain purchase commitments of approximately $0.1 million per year over the next five years. These
amounts are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007.

Leases

As of December 31, 2007, the Company leased administrative, research facilities, and office equipment

under operating leases expiring on various dates through May of 2014.

Future minimum lease commitments are as follows (in thousands):

Total rental expense was approximately $3.6 million, $3.1 million and $2.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Rental expense based on leases allowing for escalated rent
payments are recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company is required to restore certain of its leased
property to certain conditions in place at the time of lease. The Company believes these costs would not be
material to its operations.

Legal Proceedings

In September of 2004, XOMA (US) LLC entered into a collaboration with Aphton for the treatment of

gastrointestinal and other gastrin-sensitive cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies. In May of 2006,
Aphton filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, No. 06-10510 (CSS). XOMA (US) LLC filed a
proof of claim in the proceeding, as an unsecured creditor of Aphton, for approximately $594,000. Aphton and
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors filed a Proposed Plan of Reorganization that would result in a
liquidation of Aphton. The creditors have voted in favor of the plan, and the bankruptcy court has confirmed it. It
is not presently known what, if any, distributions will be made to holders of unsecured claims.

The net increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance was $42.3 million, $5.9 million and $(15.8) million

for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Approximately $23.1 million and $28.1
million in unutilized federal net operating loss carryforwards expired in 2007 and 2006, respectively. An
additional $10.9 million in California net operating loss carryforwards expired in 2007.

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.

Do not expire

The Company’s activities in Ireland and the adoption of FIN 48 in 2007 have allowed it to record previously

unrecorded net operating losses related to its Irish subsidiary. 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% of the value of the Company’s shares over a three year period.

There was no income tax expense for the years 2007 and 2006, compared with $3,000 in 2005.

On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted FIN 48 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income

taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have
a material effect on the Company.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, state of California and Ireland. The

Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2004 and beyond remain subject to examination by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s California and Irish income tax returns of the tax years 2003 and
beyond remain subject to examination by the Franchise Tax Board and Irish Revenue Commissioner. In addition,
all of the net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards that may be used in future years
are still subject to adjustment.

The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 and does not expect this to

changes significantly over the next 12 months. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company will
recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

8. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions consist of relocation loans to two employees. The initial loans of $70,000 and

$150,000 were granted in 2001 and 2004, respectively, and are being forgiven, along with related interest, over
five and two-thirds and four years, respectively, contingent on the employees continued employment with the
Company. The final forgiveness will be in November of 2008. Total related party balances as of December 31,
2007 and 2006 were $38,000 and $94,000, respectively.

9. 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 2007
of $15,500 (or $20,500 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 $1.0 million, $0.8 million
and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 100% was paid in
common shares in each year.

10. Subsequent Events

As of March 7, 2008 the Company had $4.1 million invested in auction rate securities, of which $3.1 million

failed to settle at auction. The Company continues to earn interest on the investments that failed to settle at
auction, at the maximum contractual rate. As of December 31, 2007 the carrying value of these investments was
equal to the fair value based on successful auctions proceeding and subsequent to year end. The Company will
continue to monitor the value of its auction rate securities each reporting period for a possible impairment if a
decline in fair value occurs.
