Simon Moroney<br />
No, because the count at the last call, Q1, was 71.<br />
Gunnar Romer<br />
Right. Okay.<br />
Simon Moroney<br />
So, we added two now so that makes it 73 now.<br />
Gunnar Romer<br />
Okay. Then one final question on MOR103 <strong>and</strong> the upcoming data points. I mean you're<br />
already pretty precise in terms <strong>of</strong> timing, I was wondering whether this was just relating to the<br />
phase I/2 trial or whether we should expect subcutaneous data also in the second half <strong>of</strong><br />
September.<br />
Simon Moroney<br />
Yes, we haven't finalized the timing <strong>of</strong> those two announcements with precision, but we<br />
expect both sets <strong>of</strong> data to be available roughly around the same time <strong>and</strong> so precisely when<br />
we'll announce them we haven't yet finalized, but roughly around the same time.<br />
Gunnar Romer<br />
Okay, thank you.<br />
Daniel Wendorff, Commerzbank<br />
Good afternoon <strong>and</strong> thanks for taking my question, two if I may. Starting <strong>of</strong>f with your chart<br />
on page - on slide four, question from my side would be as you haven't specified the various<br />
partners for preclinical <strong>and</strong> discovery projects <strong>and</strong> aside from that I count six Novartis<br />
partnered programs as well as co-development programs, could you quantify the total<br />
number <strong>of</strong> programs you are working with or you have been working on for Novartis. That<br />
would be a helpful number for me.<br />
And second question would be on your investment guidance for proprietary R&D. Is it fair to<br />
assume that you would rather be in the lower half for 2012 than in the upper half <strong>of</strong> that<br />
guidance range? Any comment there would be helpful as well. Thank you very much.<br />
Simon Moroney, <strong>MorphoSys</strong> AG<br />
Okay, Daniel, thanks for the questions. I'll - let me take the first one <strong>and</strong> then Jens will take<br />
the second one. So in terms <strong>of</strong> the total number <strong>of</strong> Novartis programs, to tell you the truth, I<br />
don't have the precise number in mind, but I think it's fair to assume that its more than half <strong>of</strong><br />
the total number or around half, somewhere in that ballpark.<br />
