Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Amgen Inc., as Named Fiduciary, and the Plan Participants

    of the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

 

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Amgen Retirement and Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan was established effective April 1, 1985 (amended and restated effective January 1, 1990, January 1, 1993, April 1, 1996, October 23, 2000, January 1, 2003, January 1, 2006 and restated effective January 1, 2007), as a defined contribution plan covering substantially all domestic employees of Amgen Inc. (the Company) and participating subsidiaries. The Plan, as amended, is intended to qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) and section 407(d)(3)(A) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Participants may elect to contribute up to 30% of their eligible pre-tax compensation (as defined in the Plan) up to a maximum contribution of $15,000 and $14,000 during 2006 and 2005, respectively. Unless an employee has voluntarily enrolled in the Plan or has declined to participate in the Plan within the first 30 days of employment, all newly eligible participants are automatically enrolled in the Plan and contributions equal to 5% of their eligible compensation are withheld from their pay and contributed to the Plan. Participants may elect to adjust, cease or resume their contributions at any time.

Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other defined benefit or defined contribution plans qualified in the United States or individual retirement accounts (IRA), referred to as rollover contributions. Prior to January 1, 2006 only pre-tax rollover contributions were permitted. Participants who are at least age 50 can also make catch-up contributions subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Plan limits.

For each pay period, the Company makes a non-elective contribution for all eligible participants, whether or not they have elected to make contributions to the Plan, equal to 5% of each participant’s eligible compensation (Core Contribution). In addition, the Company makes a contribution of 100% of the first 5% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant (Matching Contribution).

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions (continued)

Also, the Company could, in its discretion, make a special non-elective contribution to each participant who is in their initial year of employment with the Company and who could not make the maximum participant contribution permitted under the Plan because in the same Plan year they previously made pre-tax salary deferrals under a prior unrelated employer’s qualified plan.

Participants select the fund or funds in which their contributions, including Core Contributions and Matching Contributions (collectively Company Contributions), are to be invested, electing among various investment alternatives, including up to 50% of their contributions in Amgen Inc. common stock. Participants may transfer amounts among the investment options at any time, subject to certain limitations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 50% of the value of a participant’s Plan account is invested in Amgen Inc. common stock, no intrafund exchanges may be made into that fund.

Prior to August 31, 2005, contributions from participants who had never made an investment election were defaulted into the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio. On August 31, 2005, the Company directed the account balances of those participants whose entire accounts consisted of such funds, as well as all future contributions without an investment election, into the appropriate Fidelity Freedom Fund for each participant. The determination of the appropriate Fidelity Freedom Fund is based on a participant’s date of birth and estimated year of retirement. At any time following this default fund election, participants may elect to alter their investments among the various investment alternatives.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested with respect to their individual contributions and Company Contributions and earnings thereon.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and an allocation of (a) Company Contributions and (b) Plan earnings and losses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Payments of Benefits

Upon termination of employment, including termination due to disability (as defined by the Plan), but excluding termination due to death, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the value of their account balance (a) in a lump-sum payment in cash, (b) to the extent the participant has some or all of their account balance in Amgen Inc. common stock, full shares of Amgen Inc. common stock or (c) in cash installments. The number of shares of Amgen Inc. common stock to be distributed is based on the quoted market value of such stock on the date the Plan is valued following participant notification. Upon a participant’s termination of employment due to death, their account balance will be paid to the participant’s beneficiary in either a lump-sum payment in cash and/or, to the extent the participant has some or all of their account balance in Amgen Inc. common stock, full shares of the Company’s common stock.

Subsequent to termination of employment, a participant may also elect to maintain their vested account balance in the Plan, provided their account balance is greater than $1,000 ($5,000 prior to March 28, 2005).

Certain restrictions apply to withdrawals from the Plan while a participant continues to be employed by the Company.

Participant Loans

Subject to Plan approval, participants can generally obtain up to two loans at any one time from their Plan account up to a combined maximum amount equal to the lesser of (a) 50% of their vested account balance or (b) $50,000 (as described in the Plan). Loans made prior to July 1, 2003 bear interest at average borrowing rates of certain major banks. Loans made on or after July 1, 2003 bear interest at the prime rate plus one percentage point as published in The Wall Street Journal determined as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter. As of December 31, 2006, outstanding participant loans bear interest at rates ranging from 4% to 11%. Loans are generally payable in installments over periods ranging from one to five years, unless the loan is used to acquire a principal residence for which the term of the loan may be up to twenty years. Principal and interest payments are allocated to the participant’s account.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination, participants would receive distributions of their account balances.

Trustee

Fidelity Management Trust Company acts as the Plan’s trustee.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investment Income and Losses

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are measured by the change in the difference between the fair value and cost of the securities held at the beginning and end of the year. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are recorded based on the weighted-average cost of securities sold.

Investment Valuation

Investments in mutual funds and Amgen Inc. common stock are valued at current market values on the last business day of the Plan year determined through reference to public market information. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

The Plan invests in the McKinley International Growth Portfolio, a portfolio separately managed exclusively for the benefit of Plan participants with underlying investments in publicly traded common stocks of foreign entities traded in non-U.S. markets. The McKinley International Growth Portfolio is valued at current market values, based on the value of the underlying investments, as reported to the Plan by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Plan’s trustee.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated November 21, 2001, stating that the Plan is qualified, in form, under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Company believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. If, at any time, it is determined that the Plan is not qualified and the related trust is not tax exempt, the Company has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to bring the Plan’s operations into compliance with the Code. Subsequent amendments have been structured and are intended to maintain the Plan’s tax qualified status.

 

5. Services Provided by the Company

The Company has retained outside service providers to provide certain administrative and record keeping services for the Plan at no cost to the Plan participants. Participants, where applicable, were charged a fee for specific services, such as the processing of participant loans or for excessive trading. In addition, the Company has paid trustee fees and other related costs on behalf of the Plan.

 

6. Assets Transferred from Abgenix, Inc.

In connection with the acquisition of Abgenix, Inc., the Company assumed sponsorship of the Retirement and Savings Plan of Amgen Fremont Inc. (formerly the Abgenix 401(k) Retirement Plan) (the Abgenix Plan) on April 1, 2006. Each participant in the Abgenix Plan on June 30, 2006 became a participant in the Plan on July 1, 2006. Effective October 2, 2006, the Company merged the Abgenix Plan into the Plan and assets totaling $14,056,866 held by the Abgenix Plan were transferred to the Plan.
