DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND OPERATING SEGMENT

(a) Description of Business

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a biopharma company, with a primary strategy comprised of acquiring, developing, and commercializing a broad and diverse pipeline of late-stage clinical and commercial products. We have an in-house clinical development organization with regulatory and data management capabilities, in addition to commercial infrastructure and a field-based sales force for our marketed products. Currently, we have six approved oncology/hematology products (FUSILEV, FOLOTYN, ZEVALIN, MARQIBO, BELEODAQ, and EVOMELA) that target different types of cancer including: non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“NHL”), advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and multiple myeloma (“MM”).

We also have three drugs in mid-to-late stage development (in Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trials):


•	poziotinib, a novel pan-HER inhibitor used in the treatment of patients with a variety of solid tumors, including breast and lung cancer;


•	ROLONTIS for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia; and


•	QAPZOLA for immediate intravesical instillation in post-transurethral resection of bladder tumors in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (“NMIBC”).

(b) Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, is unaudited, and is not necessarily indicative of our operating results for a full year. In the opinion of our management, the interim data includes normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (filed with the SEC on March 7, 2018).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Spectrum and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned (except for Spectrum Pharma Canada (“SPC”), as discussed below). All inter-company accounts and transactions among these legal entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entity

We own fifty-percent of SPC, a legal entity organized in Quebec, Canada in January 2008. Some of our clinical studies are conducted through this “variable interest entity” (as defined under applicable GAAP). We fund all of SPC’s operating costs, and since we assume all risks and rewards for this entity, we meet the criteria as being its “primary beneficiary.” Accordingly, SPC’s balance sheets and statements of operations are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as if it were a wholly-owned subsidiary for all periods presented.

We operate in one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing and marketing oncology and hematology drug products. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, all of our revenue and related expenses were solely attributable to these activities. Substantially all of our assets (excluding cash held in certain foreign bank accounts and ZEVALIN distribution rights for ex-U.S. territories - see Note 3(f)) are held in the United States.
