Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Operating Segment

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 clinical and commercial products. We have a full in-house development organization including clinical development, regulatory, quality and data management capabilities, as well as commercial and marketing capabilities upon product launch.

We have two drugs in late-stage development:


•	Poziotinib, a novel irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors with various mutations; and


•	ROLONTIS, a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating (“G-CSF”) for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

We have a technology platform that enables the fusion of an interferon-alpha with a monoclonal anti-body:


•	Anti-CD20-IFNa, the first antibody-interferon fusion molecule directed against CD20 from this platform that is in Phase 1 development for treating relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma patients (including diffuse large b-cell lymphoma).

Our business strategy is to develop our late stage assets through commercialization, while sourcing additional assets that are synergistic with our existing portfolio through acquisitions, in-licensing, or co-development and marketing arrangements.

(b) Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 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, 2019 and 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States (“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, 2018 (filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019).

Discontinued Operations - Sale of our Commercial Product Portfolio

On March 1, 2019, we completed the sale of our seven then-commercialized drugs, including FUSILEV, KHAPZORY, FOLOTYN, ZEVALIN, MARQIBO, BELEODAQ, and EVOMELA (the “Commercial Product Portfolio”) to Acrotech Biopharma LLC (“Acrotech”) (the “Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction”). Upon closing we received $158.8 million in an upfront cash payment (of which $4 million is held in escrow). We are also entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $140 million upon Acrotech's achievement of certain regulatory (totaling $40 million) and sales-based milestones (totaling $100 million) relating to the Commercial Product Portfolio.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are recast for all periods presented to reflect the sale of the assets and liabilities associated with our Commercial Product Portfolio, as well as the corresponding revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of this commercial business within “discontinued operations” - see Note 11. We have presented our face financial statements in general conformity with our historical format, even where presented values are $-0- within continuing

operations due to required discontinued operations classification for all periods presented. We believe this format provides increased clarity and comparability with our previously filed financial statements, as well as our expectation that these financial statement captions and associated footnote disclosures will remain relevant to our future business activities.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. 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. All inter-company accounts and transactions among these legal entities have been eliminated in consolidation. In May 2019, we dissolved Spectrum Pharma Canada, previously consolidated as a “variable interest entity” (as defined under applicable GAAP).

We operate one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing (and eventually marketing) oncology and hematology drug products. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, all of our revenue and operating costs and expenses were solely attributable to these activities (and as applicable, currently and retrospectively classified as “discontinued” within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations - see Note 11). All of our assets are held in the U.S, except for cash held in certain foreign bank accounts.
