Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN) today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2011.

Dr. Anat Cohen-Dayag, president and CEO, stated, "Compugen continues to advance its Pipeline Program, targeting the development of superior therapeutic products for important unmet medical needs. As previously disclosed, although our underlying predictive discovery infrastructure is broadly applicable for biological therapeutics and molecular diagnostics, our current focus is on monoclonal antibody ("mAb"), protein and peptide therapeutics in the fields of oncology and immunology, including both autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Currently, there are more than 30 candidates at various stages of evaluation. In addition to our efforts in advancing this early stage therapeutic pipeline, we continue to undertake additional candidate discovery programs to both increase the number of candidates in the Pipeline and replace those that fail. And, to maintain our leadership position in predictive discovery, our research team continues to enhance our unique discovery infrastructure through the development of additional algorithms and platforms."

Martin Gerstel, Compugen’s chairman, added, "As exemplified in our recent press release describing our broad capabilities in the discovery of superior targets for mAb therapy in cancer, and as illustrated by our existing Pipeline Program to be reviewed in today's webcast, we are finding that the ability to systematically address unmet medical needs through the combined utilization of a number of distinct, but mutually supporting methodologies, all of which are predictive based, is proving to be a major competitive advantage for our Company."

As previously stated, our quarterly results are, and will continue to be, subject to substantial fluctuations. No revenues were recorded for the first quarter of 2011 compared with $125,000 for the first quarter of 2010.

The net loss for the most recent quarter was $1.9 million (including a non-cash expense of $379,000 related to stock based compensation), or $0.06 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.7 million (including a non-cash expense of $911,000 related to stock based compensation), or $0.08 per share, for the corresponding quarter of 2010.

Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2011 and $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2010 and remain the Company’s largest category of expense. The amount for the first quarter of 2011 is before the deduction of $48,000 of governmental and other grants; no grants were recognized for the first quarter of 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, Compugen had $25.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits, compared with $21.8 million as of December 31, 2010. These amounts do not include the market value of the Evogene shares held by the Company.

About Compugen

Compugen is a leading drug and diagnostic discovery company providing novel product candidates addressing important unmet therapeutic and diagnostic needs to pharmaceutical, biotech and diagnostic companies under milestone and royalty bearing or other revenue sharing agreements. Unlike traditional high throughput trial and error experimental based discovery, Compugen's discovery efforts consist of in silico (by computer) hypothesis-driven product candidate prediction and selection followed by in vitro and in vivo experimental validation. Compugen' unique in silico prediction and selection capabilities are based on a broad and continuously growing infrastructure of proprietary scientific understandings and predictive platforms, algorithms, machine learning systems and other computational biology tools. Industry collaborations may be entered into before product candidate discovery is undertaken pursuant to "discovery on demand" type arrangements, or with respect to existing product candidates, can be initiated prior to, or at the proof of concept stage, or after selected preclinical activities have been undertaken by Compugen. In 2002, Compugen established an affiliate, Evogene Ltd. (www.evogene.com) (TASE:EVGN.TA), to utilize certain of the Company's in silico predictive discovery capabilities in agricultural biotechnology. For additional information, please visit Compugen's corporate website at www.cgen.com.
