Results comparison

Total revenues for year ended December 31, 2007, were EUR 110,000 compared to EUR 417,000 in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of government grants since the grant project for LPL deficiency was completed in 2006.

The operating loss increased to EUR 14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, from EUR 9.1 million in 2006. This was primarily due to the increase of research & development costs to EUR 9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from EUR 5.3 million in 2006. This increase is particularly related to the development work on the company's lead product AMT 011 in LPL deficiency and increased staffing. General and administrative costs rose primarily as a function of the higher number of staff employed, stock based compensation, increased facility expenses and advisory costs. G&A increased to EUR 5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, from EUR 4.2 million in 2006.

The net loss for the full year was EUR 14.9 million, as compared to a net loss of EUR 8.8 million in 2006.

As of December 31, 2007, AMT had cash and cash equivalents of EUR 51.3 million, compared to EUR 14.1 million at December 31, 2006.

Ronald Lorijn, CEO of AMT, said: "AMT had an excellent 2007. We believe we have forged a company that rests on very solid foundations and that is today a leading force in bringing gene therapy to the clinic. The proceeds from our successful initial public offering in June 2007 allow us to continue to execute our business plan, bring our lead product to the clinic, and accelerate the development of our pipeline programs, focused on serious disorders for which there is currently no treatment. We expect to continue to make solid progress in our clinical programs and business development activities, and look forward to update our investors as these materialize."

About Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics

AMT has a unique gene therapy platform that to date appears to circumvent many if not all of the obstacles that have prevented gene therapy to become a mainstay of clinical medicine. Using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors as the delivery vehicle of choice for therapeutic genes, the company has been able to design and validate what is probably the first stable and scalable AAV production platform. As such, AMT's proprietary platform holds tremendous promise for thousands of rare (orphan) diseases that are caused by one faulty gene. AMT currently has a product pipeline with six products at different stages of development.

AMT intends to publish its full annual report on March 21, 2008.
