Operating Expense Operating Expense

Notes:
For example, the payment of employees wages are an operating expense.

Also known as OPEX.
 Analysis on an Adjusted Basis:
Cost of sales increased to $530 million in the second quarter
        of 2005 from $435 million during the second quarter of 2004,
        primarily due to higher sales volumes.

        Research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $564 million
        during the second quarter versus $460 million in the second
        quarter of 2004. Second quarter increases were primarily
        driven by staff-related expenses in part related to the
        Tularik acquisition and key clinical trials including the ramp
        up of large-scale Phase 3 trials for AMG 162, Amgen's
        investigational therapy for bone loss.

        Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $646
        million in the second quarter versus $587 million for the same
        quarter of the prior year. Increases for the second quarter
        are a result of higher staff-related expenses in support of
        the Company's key products and the Wyeth profit share related
        to ENBREL sales growth.


Amgen's adjusted tax rate decreased five percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2004 due to favorable resolution of prior year tax claims with the IRS An abbreviation for the Internal Revenue Service, a federal agency charged with the responsibility of administering and enforcing internal revenue laws.  and to a lesser degree, an increase in permanently reinvested earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The favorable resolution of prior year tax claims benefited adjusted EPS by approximately 4 cents during the quarter. For the remainder of the year, the adjusted tax rate is expected to be slightly lower than the Company's first quarter 2005 adjusted rate of 26.4 percent.

Second Quarter Product and Pipeline Highlights
AMG 162: During the second quarter, pivotal Phase 3 trials for AMG
    162 completed enrollment in postmenopausal osteoporosis and
    treatment induced bone loss in non-metastatic breast cancer and
    prostate cancer.

    Aranesp: Amgen announced the submission of a supplemental
    Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug
    Administration (FDA) for Aranesp. The sBLA is based on Phase 3
    data that Amgen believes will demonstrate Aranesp administered
    every three weeks is safe and effective in the treatment of
    chemotherapy-induced anemia in patients with non-myeloid
    malignancies.

    New interim data for Aranesp suggesting a major response in anemic
    patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) was recently
    presented at the 17th International Symposium of the Multinational
    Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) at Geneva. The
    data was generated from a Phase 2 study evaluating the use of 500
    mcg of Aranesp every three weeks to treat anemia in patients with
    MDS.

    Enbrel: During the quarter, the FDA approved an expanded
    indication for ENBREL to improve physical function in patients
    with psoriatic arthritis. ENBREL is the first and only treatment
    to receive this expanded indication.

    Panitumumab: Amgen, together with its partner Abgenix, announced
    the initiation of a Phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the
    potential benefits of adding panitumumab, an experimental fully
    human antibody to bevacizumab (Avastin) and chemotherapy. The
    clinical trial called the PACCE (Panitumumab Advanced Colorectal
    Cancer Evaluation) study is a randomized, multi-center, open label
    study with endpoints of progression-free survival, overall
    survival and response rate.

    AMG 531: Amgen is in the process of filing an IND in
    chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) for AMG 531. Studies
    in CIT will begin in 2005.

Amgen Inc.
Notes to Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings to "Adjusted" Earnings
(In millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

(1) To exclude the incremental compensation provided to certain
    Tularik Inc. ("Tularik") employees principally related to non-cash
    compensation expense associated with stock options assumed in
    connection with the acquisition and amounts payable under the
    Tularik short-term retention plan. The total estimated remaining
    costs of such incremental compensation is approximately $21
    million, pre-tax.

(2) To exclude the ongoing, non-cash amortization of acquired
    intangible assets, primarily Enbrel(R), related to the Immunex
    Corporation ("Immunex") acquisition. The total 2005 annual
    non-cash charge is currently estimated to be approximately $347
    million, pre-tax.

(3) To exclude the impact of legal settlements incurred, net of
    amounts previously accrued, primarily related to settling a patent
    legal proceeding.

(4) To exclude the net gain realized on the termination of a
    manufacturing agreement with Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") for the
    production of ENBREL at Genentech's manufacturing facility in
    South San Francisco.

(5) To exclude the incremental compensation payable to certain Immunex
    employees principally under the Immunex short-term retention plan.
    All amounts have been incurred under this plan.

(6) To exclude the pro rata portion of the debt issuance costs that
    were immediately charged to interest expense, as a result of
    certain holders of the convertible notes exercising their March 1,
    2005 put option and the related convertible notes being repaid in
    cash.

(7) To reflect the tax effect of the above adjustments.

(8) The following table presents the computations for GAAP and
    "Adjusted" diluted earnings per share computed under the treasury
    stock and the "if-converted" methods:

(A) On May 6, 2005, in connection with an exchange offer, we modified
    the terms of approximately 95% of our convertible notes then
    outstanding (the "Modified Convertible Notes"). As a result of
    certain of these modifications, if converted, the Modified
    Convertible Notes would be settled in 1) cash equal to the lesser
    of the accreted value of the Modified Convertible Notes at the
    conversion date or the conversion value, as defined, and 2) shares
    of common stock, if any, to the extent the conversion value
    exceeds the accreted value. Accordingly, the Modified Convertible
    Notes do not impact diluted earnings per share under the
    "if-converted" method but rather, they impact diluted earnings per
    share under the treasury stock method, and only to the extent that
    the conversion value exceeds the accreted value during any
    reporting period, requiring such difference, if any, to be
    potentially settled in shares of common stock.

(1) On March 2, 2005, as a result of certain holders of the
    Convertible notes exercising their March 1, 2005 put option, the
    Company repurchased $1,175 million, or approximately 40%, of the
    outstanding Convertible notes at their then-accreted value for
    cash. Accordingly the Convertible notes repurchased were
    classified as current liabilities at December 31, 2004.

(2) Holders of the remaining outstanding Convertible notes may require
    the Company to purchase all or a portion of the notes on specific
    dates as early as March 1, 2006 at the original issuance price
    plus accrued original issue discount through the purchase date.
    Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, the Convertible notes have been
    classified as current liabilities.

Reconciliation of "Adjusted" Earnings Per Share Guidance to GAAP
Earnings Per Share Guidance for the Year Ended December 31, 2005

                                                             2005
                                                        --------------

"Adjusted" earnings per share guidance                  $3.10 - $3.20

Known adjustments to arrive at GAAP earnings:
  Amortization of acquired intangible assets (1)                (0.16)
  Tularik merger related incremental compensation (2)           (0.01)
  Write-off of convertible notes debt issuance costs (3)        (0.01)
  Legal settlements (4)                                         (0.02)
  Termination of manufacturing agreement (5)                     0.01
  Tax liability related to repatriation of certain
   foreign earnings (6)                                             -
                                                        --------------

GAAP earnings per share guidance                        $2.91 - $3.01
                                                        --------------


    The guidance for both "Adjusted" earnings per share and GAAP
    earnings per share does not include the impact of expense related
    to stock option compensation.

(1) To exclude the ongoing, non-cash amortization of acquired
    intangible assets, primarily Enbrel(R), related to the Immunex
    acquisition. The total 2005 annual non-cash charge is currently
    estimated to be approximately $347 million, pre-tax.

(2) To exclude the incremental compensation provided to certain
    Tularik employees principally related to non-cash compensation
    expense associated with stock options assumed in connection with
    the acquisition and amounts payable under the Tularik short-term
    retention plan.

(3) To exclude the pro rata portion of debt issuance costs that were
    immediately charged to interest expense, as a result of certain
    holders of the convertible notes exercising their March 1, 2005
    put option and the related convertible notes being repaid in cash.

(4) To exclude the impact of legal settlements incurred, net of
    amounts previously accrued, primarily related to settling a patent
    legal proceeding.

(5) To exclude the net gain realized on the termination of a
    manufacturing agreement with Genentech for the production of
    ENBREL at Genentech's manufacturing facility in South San
    Francisco.

(6) To exclude the tax liability related to the repatriation of
    certain foreign earnings under the American Jobs Act of 2004
    ("Jobs Act"). Uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous
    provisions of the Jobs Act. As such, we have not yet determined
    the amount of foreign earnings, if any, that will be repatriated
    and, therefore, the amount of the tax liability is not known.
    Based on our preliminary analysis to date, we are limited under
    the Jobs Act to repatriate up to approximately $500 million in
    foreign earnings.


    2004 adjusted earnings per share was $2.40 and a reconciliation to
    GAAP earnings per share for this amount was provided in our
    January 27, 2005 news release.
