NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SuperGen, Inc. ("we," "SuperGen" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 are not indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 (see Note 12).

        The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain balances have been reclassified to conform with the presentation at June 30, 2011. Specifically, Payable to AVI BioPharma, Inc. has been combined with Other accrued liabilities.

        These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
