However, creating protein-based drugs is a complex process that poses challenges very different to the manufacturing of small molecules. Roche Pharmaceuticals established the Therapeutic Protein Initiative (TPI} to build and expand its expertise in this area. TPI is a global initiative, uniting contributions from many divisional functions, with protein discovery and development activities in Penzberg and protein formulation in Basel as its cornerstones. By acquiring and developing external and internal knowledge and skills. Roche has established novel technologies in cell-line development, automated product isolation and advanced analytical technologies. Since its inception in 200] TPI has helped increase Roche Pharmaceuticals' R&D productivity, with the number of protein-based projects rising from four to now more than 25. Most of these are in the key areas of oncology, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and transplantation. 'Recombinant proteins, especially monoclonal antibodies, have demonstrated their value as novel therapeutic agents due to their high target specificity. They already provide safe and effective therapies for many patients,' says Stephan Fischer, Global Head of Biologics Research and Development at Roche. 'Our expertise and competence in all functions involved in protein research, development and manufacturing put the Roche Group in a unique position to keep delivering breakthrough medicines: the treatment of adjuvant colon cancer, advanced renal cell carcinoma, and pancreatic, prostate and Oncology ovarian cancer.

Pharma Partnering (PP}, the company's business development and licensing department, analyses over 1,500 external opportunities each year to find cutting-edge science to complement Roche's own R&D. How does Roche find external innovation? 'We focus on emerging, innovative science,' says immunologist and marketing veteran Hari Kumar, one of PP's 'finders'. 'Strategy teams tell us what they need, be it a drug for a condition with no effective treatment or a technology, and we go out and look for it.' Finders are specialists who combine scientific expertise with business acumen. Their job is to identify opportunities that could lead to new treatments, including new uses for existing Roche products. Once a finder identifies an opportunity, a larger PP team assesses it based on three key questions: Is the science viable and differentiated? Will the opportunity complement Roche's overall strategy? What is its commercial potential? Senior management then make a decision based on the answers. PP's alliance directors take over once a deal ~s approved. While the contract is being negotiated, they prepare Roche for the project's integration and ensure that communication with partners is open and clear. Throughout the process Roche relies on its core partnering values: flexibility, respect for partners" culture and autonomy, and commitment that both sides will benefit from the collaboration. An organisation-wide partnering culture helps ensure our continued access to a broad range of external innovation and expertise. cancer (adjuvant setting) have shown that adding Herceptin to chemotherapy significantly reduces the risk of cancer recurrence in this population. US and EU £dings for this indication are planned for the first quarter of 2006. Extensive late-stage programmes studying Xeloda in adjuvant breast cancer, in combination with chemotherapy in the adjuvant colon cancer setting, and in first- and second-line therapy of metastatic colorectal cancer are continuing. Recent interim analysis of a large collaborative group study of the Tarceva, a human epidermal growth factor receptor drug as first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic (HER1/EGFR) inhibitor, is designed to interfere cancer showed that adding Xeloda to standard with a molecular signal that plays a significant role chemotherapy (gemcitabine) significantly extends in tumour cell growth in numerous types of cancer. patient survival and improves quality of life.

The phase III renal programme for this product includes six trials involving over 2,400 patients with chronic kidney disease (both on dialysis and not on dialysis). The first four phase III trials in dialysis patients were successfully completed at the end of 2005. CERA is the only anti-anemia drug ever studied using long dosing intervals (once every four weeks) in all patients for its initial filing. Roche plans to file marketing applications worldwide for CERA in renal anemia in 2006. Roche does not view the patent infringement litigation initiated by Amgen in the US as an impediment to the development and launch of CERA in the United States. Development of Actemra (tocilizumab, formerly MRA) in RA is progressing well. Phase III data from Japan were presented at the American College of Rheumatology meeting in November. They show that treatment with Actemra significantly reduces the progression of joint damage and improves RA signs and symptoms. Based on these data, Chugai plans to file a marketing application for Actemra for RA in Japan in the first half of 2006. Patient recruitment for international phase III trials is proceeding as planned. Regulatory filings in the US and EU are expected in 2007. In 2005 Chugai launched Actemra in Japan in its first indication, Castleman's disease, a rare condition that causes severe enlargement of the lymph nodes. CellCept is being developed in collaboration with Aspreva Pharmaceuticals for autoimmune applications, including the treatment of lupus nephritis (kidney complications associated with the autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus) and myasthenia gravis (a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by episodes of muscle weakness). Phase III clinical trials of the drug in both indications are under way. CellCept is the first potential new treatment for either of these debilitating and sometimes fatal conditions in many years. In January 2006 CellCept was designated an orphan drug in the treatment of myasthenia gravis by the FDA. Nheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune diseases Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by joint inflammation that, even when treated, can result in progressive joint destruction and, ultimately, loss of function. Its exact cause is unknown, and as yet there is no cure. Within two years of developing RA, up to 70% of patients have X-ray evidence of joint destruction, and within ten years 80% are unable to work or perform everyday tasks. RA is one of the most common autoimmune disorders and is now thought to affect over 21 million people worldwide.

In particular, a shift from chemically derived active pharmaceutical ingredients towards biologics and a corresponding trend towards sterile liquid dosage forms are driving current activities in this area. Technical development activities also reflect the impact of the Pharmaceuticals Division's dynamic R&D portfolio (including development of in-licensed products by Roche). Ongoing projects to further reduce supply chain complexity and optimise inventory levels remain on track. Four major new facilities were dedicated last year: new biotech production facilities for epoetin and CERA in Penzberg (Germany); a state-of-the-art packaging and storage facility for injectable drugs in Mannheim (Germany); and a plant for highpotency pharmaceutical products in Shanghai. The new Penzberg and Mannheim facilities have been operational since the middle of 2005. The Shanghai facility, the first of its kind in China, is scheduled to come on stream this year; it will produce CellCept and Xeloda for the Chinese market. The Oceanside (California) facility acquired by Genentech from Biogen Idec last June is currently being converted to produce Avastin; manufacturing of bulk drug substance is expected to commence in 2006, with FDA licensure expected in the first half of 2007. In 2005 Genentech received FDA ticensure for a new Avastin manufacturing facility in Porrifio, Spain. Work on the new Basel (Switzerland) and Penzberg production facilities for therapeutic antibodies, both scheduled for technical completion in 2007, is moving ahead as planned. Access to medicines While the primary role of the Roche Pharmaceuticals Division is to discover, develop and commercialise innovative medicines, the adoption of policies that extend access to critically needed products to people affected by poverty throughout the world is an integral part of healthcare's mission. Therefore, in addition to supporting local initiatives to expand healthcare access, Roche has implemented patent and pricing policies and joined major :international efforts aimed at addressing this problem. 30 Business Rcpurt 2005 Case 1:05-cv-12237-WGY Document 54-2 Filed 04/25/2006 Page 10 of 10 Roche does not file new patents for its medicines in the 50 Least Developed Countries (as defined by the UN), nor does it enforce patents it already holds in these countries. In response to the devastating HIV/AIDS pandemic, the company has extended this policy to sub-Saharan Africa, the poorest and hardest-hit region. steps taken include implementing a tiered pricing system with significant reductions for pandemic use and licensing agreements with local companies for production of the drug for pandemic use in India and China.
