1. 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 novel and targeted oncology therapies. Our in-house development organization includes clinical development, regulatory, quality and data management. We plan to build out our commercial and marketing capabilities in the second half of 2020 to prepare for the launch of ROLONTIS.
We have three drugs in development:

ROLONTIS, a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating (“G-CSF”) for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia which has been filed with the FDA and has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of October 24, 2020;
Poziotinib, a novel irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors with various mutations; and
Anti-CD20-IFNα, an interferon fusion molecule directed against CD20 that is in Phase 1 development for treating relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“NHL”) patients (including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma).
Our business strategy is the development of our late-stage assets through commercialization and the sourcing of additional assets that are synergistic with our existing portfolio (through purchase acquisitions, in-licensing transactions, or co-development and marketing arrangements).
(b) Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. 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 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, 2019 (filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020).
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 was held in escrow until November 2019). We are also entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $140 million upon Acrotech's future achievement of certain regulatory milestones (totaling $40 million) and sales-based milestones (totaling $100 million) relating to the Commercial Product Portfolio.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the corresponding revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of this commercial business within “discontinued operations” - see Note 10. We have presented our face financial

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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 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 Inc., previously consolidated as a “variable interest entity” (as defined under applicable GAAP).
(c) Operating Segment
We operate one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing (and eventually marketing) oncology and hematology drug products. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, all of our revenue and operating costs and expenses were solely attributable to these activities (and as applicable, classified as “discontinued” within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations - see Note 10). All of our assets are held in the U.S, except for cash held in certain foreign bank accounts.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make informed estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These amounts may materially differ from the amounts ultimately realized and reported due to the inherent uncertainty of any estimate or assumption. On an on-going basis, our management evaluates (as applicable) its most critical estimates and assumptions, including those related to: (i) gross-to-net revenue adjustments; (ii) the timing of revenue recognition; (iii) the collectability of customer accounts; (iv) whether the cost of our inventories can be recovered; (v) the realization of our tax assets and estimates of our tax liabilities; (vi) the fair value of our investments; (vii) the valuation of our stock options and the periodic expense recognition of stock-based compensation; and (viii) the potential outcome of our ongoing or threatened litigation.
Our accounting policies and estimates that most significantly impact the presented amounts within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are further described below:
(i) Revenue Recognition
On March 1, 2019, we completed the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction -- see Note 1(b). In accordance with applicable GAAP (ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements), the revenue-deriving activities of our sold commercial operation are separately classified as “discontinued” for all periods presented within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations -- see Note 10.
Required Elements of Our Revenue Recognition: Revenue from our (a) product sales, (b) out-license arrangements, and (c) service arrangements is recognized under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of our goods and/or services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
(1)we ensure that we have an executed contract(s) with our customer that we believe is legally enforceable;
(2)we identify the “performance obligations” in the respective contract;
(3)we determine the “transaction price” for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
(4)we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
(5)we recognize revenue only when we satisfy each performance obligation.
 These five elements, as applied to each of our revenue categories, are summarized below:
10


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

(a) Product Sales: We sell our products to pharmaceutical wholesalers/distributors or to our product licensees (i.e., our customers). Our wholesalers/distributors in turn sell our products directly to clinics, hospitals, and private oncology-based practices. Revenue from our product sales is recognized as physical delivery of product occurs (when our customer obtains control of the product), in return for agreed-upon consideration.
Our gross product sales (i.e., delivered units multiplied by the contractual price per unit) are reduced by our corresponding gross-to-net (“GTN”) estimates using the “expected value” method, resulting in reported “product sales, net” that reflects the amount we ultimately expect to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account our current period gross sales and related cash receipts, and the subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that we estimate for the various GTN categories discussed below. These estimates are based upon information received from external sources (such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales to end-users during the period), in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amount incurred (of some, or all) of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, and distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees may be materially above or below the amount estimated, then requiring prospective adjustments to our reported net product sales.
These GTN estimate categories (that comprise our GTN liabilities within Note 3(g)) are each discussed below:
Product Returns Allowances: Our customers are contractually permitted to return certain purchased products within the contractual allowable time before/after its applicable expiration date. Returns outside of this aforementioned criteria are not customarily allowed. We estimate expected product returns using our historical return rates. Returned product is typically destroyed since substantially all are due to its imminent expiry and cannot be resold.
Government Chargebacks: Our products are subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs (e.g., Medicare and 340B Drug Pricing Program). Qualifying entities (i.e., end-users) purchase products from our customers at their qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount we incur represents the difference between our contractual sales price to our customer, and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the government program. There may be significant lag time between our reported net product sales and our receipt of the corresponding government chargeback claims from our customers.
Prompt Pay Discounts: Discounts for prompt payment are estimated at the time of sale, based on our eligible customers’ prompt payment history and the contractual discount percentage.
Commercial Rebates: Commercial rebates are based on (i) our estimates of end-user purchases through a group purchasing organization (“GPO”), (ii) the corresponding contractual rebate percentage tier we expect each GPO to achieve, and (iii) our estimates of the impact of any prospective rebate program changes made by us.
Medicaid Rebates: Our products are subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with our product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for our product under the applicable Medicaid program. Our Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require us to project the magnitude of our sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates. There is a significant time lag in our receiving rebate notices from each state (generally several months or longer after our sale is recognized). Our estimates are based on our historical claim levels by state, as supplemented by management’s judgment.
Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of our products for various commercial services including: contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of our applicable sales.
(b) License Fees: Our out-license arrangements allow licensees to market our product(s) in certain territories for a specific term (representing the out-license of “functional intellectual property”). These arrangements may include one or more of the following forms of consideration: (i) upfront license fees, (ii) sales royalties, (iii) sales milestone-achievement fees, and (iv) regulatory milestone-achievement fees. We recognize revenue for each based on the contractual terms that establish our right to collect payment once the performance obligation is achieved, as follows:
(1) Upfront License Fees: We determine whether upfront license fees are earned at the time of contract execution (i.e., when rights transfer to the customer) or over the actual (or implied) contractual period of the out-license. As part
11


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

of this determination, we evaluate whether we have any other requirements to provide substantive services that are inseparable from the performance obligation of the license transfer. Our customers’ “distinct” rights to licensed “functional intellectual property” at the time of contract execution results in concurrent revenue recognition of all upfront license fees (assuming that there are no other performance obligations at contract execution that are inseparable from this license transfer).

(2) Royalties: Under the “sales-or-usage-based royalty exception” we recognize revenue in the same period that our
licensees complete product sales in their territory for which we are contractually entitled to a percentage-based royalty receipt.

(3) Sales Milestones: Under the “sales-or-usage-based royalty exception” we recognize revenue in full within the period that our licensees achieve annual or aggregate product sales levels in their territories for which we are contractually entitled to a specified lump-sum receipt.

(4) Regulatory Milestones: Under the terms of the respective out-license, regulatory achievements may either be our responsibility, or that of our licensee.

When our licensee is responsible for the achievement of the regulatory milestone, we recognize revenue in full (for the contractual amount due from our licensee) in the period that the approval occurs (i.e., when the “performance obligation” is satisfied by our customer) under the “most likely amount” method. This revenue recognition remains “constrained” (i.e., not recognized) until regulatory approval occurs, given its inherent uncertainty and the requirement of a significant revenue reversal not being probable if achievement does not occur. At each reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of milestone achievement and the associated revenue constraint; any resulting adjustments would be recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, thus reflected in our financial statements in the period of adjustment.

When we are responsible for the achievement of a regulatory milestone, the “relative selling price method” is applied for purposes of allocating the transaction price to our performance obligations. In such case, we consider (i) the extent of our effort to achieve the milestone and/or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of milestone achievement and (ii) if the milestone payment is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential milestone consideration) within the arrangement. We have historically assessed the contractual value of these milestones upon their achievement to be identical to the allocation of value of our performance obligations and thus representing the “transaction price” for each milestone at contract inception. We recognize this revenue in the period that the regulatory approval occurs (i.e., when we complete the “performance obligation”) under the “most likely amount” method, and revenue recognition is otherwise “constrained” until regulatory approval occurs, given its inherent uncertainty and the requirement of a significant revenue reversal not being probable if achievement does not occur. At each reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of milestone achievement and the associated revenue constraint; any resulting adjustments would be recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, thus reflected in our financial statements in the period of adjustment.
(c) Service Revenue: We receive fees under certain arrangements for (i) sales and marketing services, (ii) supply chain services, (iii) research and development services, and (iv) clinical trial management services.
Our rights to receive payment for these services may be established by (1) a fixed-fee schedule that covers the term of the arrangement, so long as we meet ongoing performance obligations, (2) our completion of product delivery in our capacity as a procurement agent, (3) the successful completion of a phase of drug development, (4) favorable results from a clinical trial, and/or (5) regulatory approval events.
We consider whether revenue associated with these service arrangements is reportable each period, based on our completed services or deliverables (i.e., satisfied “performance obligations”) during the reporting period, and the terms of the arrangement that contractually result in fixed payments due to us. The promised service(s) within these arrangements are distinct and explicitly stated within each contract, and our customer benefits from the separable service(s) delivery/completion. Further, the nature of the promise to our customer as stated within the respective contract is to deliver each named service individually (not a transfer of combined items to which the promised goods or services are inputs), and thus are separable for revenue recognition.

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

(ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the purchase date.
(iii) Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of our holdings in equity securities, mutual funds, bank certificates of deposit (“Bank CDs”), government-related debt securities, and corporate debt securities. Since we classify these investments as “available-for-sale” any (1) realized gains (losses) or (2) unrealized gains (losses) on these securities are respectively recognized in (1) “other expense, net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, or (2) depending on the nature of the marketable securities recognized in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” as a separate component of stockholder’s equity on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, or in “other expense, net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(iv) Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses are derived from our product sales and license fees, and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is management’s best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable and any anticipated discounts. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted each period through earnings to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining life of the asset. Account balances are written off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts are exhausted.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13") "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This new ASU replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”), which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The new CECL model requires recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired, in which the expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The new standard also applies to receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivables and requires credit losses related to certain available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. We adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020, which had no material effect on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(v) Property and Equipment
Our property and equipment is stated at historical cost, and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life that corresponds with its designated asset category. We evaluate the recoverability of “long-lived assets” (which includes property and equipment) whenever events or changes in circumstances in our business indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable through our on-going operations.
(vi) Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for equity awards granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors is recognized on a straight-line basis over each award’s vesting period. Recognized compensation expense is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, representing the percentage of awards that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting, though is ultimately adjusted for actual forfeitures. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options (as of the date of grant) that have service conditions for vesting. We use the Monte Carlo valuation model to value equity awards (as of the date of grant) that have combined market conditions and service conditions for vesting.
The recognition of stock-based compensation expense and the initial calculation of stock option fair value requires uncertain assumptions, including (a) the pre-vesting forfeiture rate of the award, (b) the expected term that the stock option will remain outstanding, (c) our stock price volatility over the expected term (and that of our designated peer group with respect to certain market-based awards), and (d) the prevailing risk-free interest rate for the period matching the expected term.

(Unaudited)

With regard to (a)-(d) above: we estimate forfeiture rates based on our employees’ overall forfeiture history, which we believe will be representative of future results. We estimate the expected term of stock options granted based on our employees’ historical exercise patterns, which we believe will be representative of their future behavior. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock for a look-back period that corresponds with the expected term. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based upon the U.S. Department of the Treasury yields in effect at award grant, for a period equaling the expected term of the stock option.
(vii) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In periods of a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include only dilutive stock options, warrants, and other common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
(viii) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the financial statements, as well as operating losses and tax credit carry forwards using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.
We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets, because we believe that, based upon a weighting of positive and negative factors, it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. If/when we were to determine that our deferred tax assets are realizable, an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance would increase our net income in the period that such determination was made.
In the event that we are assessed interest and/or penalties from taxing authorities that have not been previously accrued, such amounts would be included in “benefit for income taxes from continuing operations” within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period in which we received the notice.
(ix) Research and Development Costs
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred (see Note 8(c)) or as certain milestone payments become contractually due to our licensors, as triggered by the achievement of clinical or regulatory events.
(x) Fair Value Measurements
We determine measurement-date fair value based on the proceeds that would be received through the sale of the asset, or that we would pay to settle or transfer the liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but that are corroborated by market data. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted market prices in markets that are not active to the general public.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

(Unaudited)

The composition of selected financial statement captions that comprise the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized below:
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our “cash and cash equivalents” were held with major financial institutions. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our “marketable securities” include our equity holdings in CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CASI”), mutual funds, government-related debt securities, corporate debt securities, and bank certificates of deposits (“bank CDs”).
We maintain cash balances with select financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and other third parties insure a fraction of these deposits. Accordingly, these cash deposits are not insured against the possibility of a substantial or complete loss of principal and are inherently subject to the credit risk of the corresponding financial institution.
Our investment policy requires that purchased investments may only be in highly-rated and liquid financial instruments and limits our holdings of any single issuer (excluding any debt or equity securities that may be received from our strategic partners in connection with an out-license arrangements, as discussed in Note 7).
 
The carrying amount of our equity securities, money market funds, and Bank CDs approximates their fair value (utilizing “Level 1” or “Level 2” inputs – see Note 2(x)) because of our ability to immediately convert these instruments into cash with minimal expected change in value. As of March 31, 2020, our held securities that remain in an unrealized loss position for less than one year were insignificant and are presented in the table below.

* Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, we purchased certain government-related and corporate debt securities. We have classified these as “available-for-sale” since we may redeem or sell these investments before their stated maturity to fund our operations. Under the requirements of ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities: (i) we recorded these securities at initial “book value” and then amortize, through maturity, the determined “discount” or “premium” within “interest income” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and (ii) we recognize the “unrealized gains (loss)” of these securities (i.e., fair value versus amortized book value) as a separate component of “other comprehensive loss” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
(b) Property and Equipment, net of Accumulated Depreciation
“Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation” consists of the following:

* This account is comprised of our owned ROLONTIS production equipment on location at our contract manufacturer. This equipment has
alternative future use for the general production of various biologic agents. Accordingly, we have capitalized these purchases, rather than
recording it as “research and development” expense in full, despite its current designation for the manufacture of pre-FDA approved product. The majority of this manufacturing equipment was not in use and therefore not being depreciated as of March 31, 2020. Depreciation for installed and ready-for-use equipment is recorded to “research and development” expense prior to FDA approval and will be prospectively recorded to “cost of sales” upon FDA approval of ROLONTIS.
Depreciation expense (included within “total operating costs and expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

* Beginning in March 2020, we granted 1,650,000 stock-appreciation rights (“SARs”) to our Named Executive Officers. The fair value of these SARs was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. These SARs had 25% immediate vesting on the date of grant resulting in recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $0, respectively, within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
5. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

The reported amount of “deferred executive compensation liability” is based on the period-end market value of mutual fund investments selected by employee participants of the deferred compensation plan.
We did not have any transfers between “Level 1” and “Level 2” (see Note 2(x)) measurement categories for any periods presented.
        Our carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature of settlement.

7. CASI HOLDINGS AND EVOMELA SUPPLY CONTRACT
        Overview of CASI Transaction
In 2014, we executed three perpetual out-license agreements for our former products ZEVALIN, MARQIBO, and EVOMELA (“CASI Out-Licensed Products”) with CASI, a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company (NASDAQ: CASI) with a primary focus on the China market (collectively, the “CASI Out-License”). Under the CASI Out-License, we received CASI common stock and a secured promissory note and CASI gained the exclusive rights to distribute the CASI Out-Licensed Products in greater China (which includes Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau).
In March 2019, we completed the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction (see Note 1(b)) and substantially all of the contractual rights and obligations associated with these products, including the CASI Out-License, were transferred to Acrotech at closing. However, on an interim basis we retained our original supply agreement with CASI for EVOMELA. Corresponding revenue for shipped product has been recognized within discontinued operations “product sales, net” (see Note 10). Given our fulfillment of this order in October 2019, this arrangement was complete as of December 31, 2019.

        Our Ownership in CASI at March 31, 2020

Under certain conditions that expired in December 2017, we exercised our rights during 2016 and 2017 to purchase additional shares of CASI common stock at par value in order to maintain our post-investment ownership percentage. Our aggregate holding of 10.0 million CASI common shares as of March 31, 2020 represented an approximate 10.0% ownership with a fair market value of $20.5 million (see Note 3(a)).
8. FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES AND KEY LICENSE AGREEMENTS
(a) Facility and Equipment Leases
Overview
20


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

        In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into leases with unaffiliated parties for the use of (i) office and research facilities and (ii) office equipment. Our current leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to four years and none include any residual value guarantees, restrictive covenants, term extensions, or early-termination options.
We lease our principal executive office in Henderson, Nevada under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring October 31, 2021. We also lease our research and development facility in Irvine, California under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring July 31, 2022, in addition to other administrative office leases. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term of these operating leases, as reported within “selling, general and administrative” expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our facility leases have minimum annual rents, payable monthly, and some carry fixed annual rent increases. Under some of these arrangements, real estate taxes, insurance, certain operating expenses, and common area maintenance are reimbursable to the lessor. These amounts are expensed as incurred, as they are variable in nature and therefore excluded from the measurement of our reported lease asset and liability discussed below. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no sublease arrangements with us as lessor. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our facility and equipment lease expense aggregated $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
        This reported asset and liability, respectively, represents (i) the economic benefit of our use of leased facilities and equipment and (ii) the present-value of our contractual minimum lease payments, applying our estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date (since an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in any of our leases). Upon adoption, we recorded $4.2 million to our January 1, 2019 balance sheet for both (i) our right-of-use asset within “facility and equipment under lease” and (ii) our lease liability within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” and “other long-term liabilities.” The recorded asset and liability associated with each lease is amortized over the respective lease term using the “effective interest rate” method. As of March 31, 2020, we recognized $5.3 million of ROU assets in exchange for $5.3 million of lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2019, we recognized $4.2 million of ROU assets in exchange for $4.2 million of lease liabilities.
        We elected to (1) not separate “lease components” from “non-lease components” in our measurement of minimum payments for (i) facility leases and (ii) office equipment leases and (2) not recognize a lease asset and liability for a term of 12 months or less.

(b) In/Out Licensing Agreements and Co-Development Arrangements
Overview
The in-license agreements for our development-stage drug products provide us with territory-specific rights to their manufacture and distribution (including further sub-licensing/out-licensing rights). We are generally responsible for all related clinical development costs, patent filings and maintenance costs, marketing costs, and liability insurance costs. We are also obligated to make specified milestone payments to our licensors upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones, and to pay royalties based on our net sales of all in-licensed products. We also may enter into out-license agreements for territory-specific rights to these drug products which include one or more of: upfront license fees, royalties from our licensees’ sales, and/or milestone payments from our licensees’ sales or regulatory achievements. For certain drug products, we may enter into cost-sharing arrangements with licensees and licensors.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

In March 2019, we completed the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction and substantially all of the contractual rights and obligations associated with the Commercial Product Portfolio were transferred to Acrotech at the closing of the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction. However, under the terms of this transaction we retained our trade “accounts receivable” and GTN liabilities included within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” (see Note 3(g)) associated with our product sales made on and prior to February 28, 2019.
Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the corresponding revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of this commercial business within “discontinued operations” - see Notes 1 and 10. The most significant remaining agreements associated with our continuing operations are listed below, along with the key financial terms and our corresponding accounting and reporting conventions for each:

In October 2014, we exercised our option under a License Option and Research Collaboration Agreement dated January 2012 (as amended) with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Hanmi, for ROLONTIS, a drug based on Hanmi’s proprietary LAPSCOVERY™ technology for the treatment of chemotherapy induced neutropenia. Under the terms of this agreement, as amended, we have primary financial responsibility for the ROLONTIS development plan and hold its worldwide rights (except for Korea, China, and Japan). We are contractually obligated to pay Hanmi tiered royalties that range from the low double-digits to mid-teen on our net sales of ROLONTIS.
In January 2016, the first patient was dosed with ROLONTIS in a clinical trial. This triggered our contractual milestone payment to Hanmi, and in April 2016, we issued 318,750 shares of our common stock to Hanmi. We are responsible for further contractual payments upon the achievement of a regulatory milestone (triggering $10 million to Hanmi), and sales milestone payments of up to $120 million per calendar year based on our net sales of ROLONTIS.
Depending on the milestone achievement type we will either (a) capitalize the value to “intangible assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or (b) recognize the payment value within “research and development” or “cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The corresponding liability for the payment due to the licensor will be recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” in the earliest period that we determine the respective milestone achievement is probable or occurs.
(ii) Poziotinib: In-License Agreement with Hanmi and Exclusive Patent and Technology License Agreement with MD Anderson
In February 2015, we executed an in-license agreement with Hanmi for poziotinib, a pan-HER inhibitor in Phase 2 clinical trials, (which has also shown single agent activity in the treatment of various cancer types during Phase 1 studies, including breast, gastric, colorectal, and lung cancers) and made an upfront payment to Hanmi for these distribution rights.
Under the terms of this agreement, we received the exclusive global rights to commercialize poziotinib, except for Korea and China. Hanmi and its development partners are fully responsible for the completion of on-going Phase 2 trials in Korea. We are financially responsible for all other clinical studies. We are obligated to make contractual payments to Hanmi upon our achievement of various regulatory milestones that aggregate $33 million. We are also obligated to pay Hanmi net sales milestones of up to $325 million annually and pay royalties in the low to mid-teen digits on our net sales of poziotinib, potentially reduced by royalties due to other third parties.
        In April 2018, we executed an exclusive patent and technology agreement for the use of poziotinib in treating patients with EGFR and HER2 exon 20 mutations in cancer and HER2 exon 19 mutations in cancer with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”). MD Anderson discovered poziotinib’s use in treating these patient-types (“Exon 19/20 Patients”). We made an upfront payment to MD Anderson of $0.5 million upon the execution of this agreement that we recognized within “research and development” expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.
         We are contractually obligated to pay nominal fixed annual license maintenance fees to MD Anderson and pay additional fees upon our achievement of various regulatory and sales milestones. These regulatory milestones aggregate $6 million and the
23

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

sales milestones aggregate $24 million. We are also contractually obligated to pay MD Anderson royalties in the low single-digits on our net sales of poziotinib.
Depending on the milestone achievement type we will either (a) capitalize the payment value to “intangible assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or (b) recognize the payment value within “research and development” or “cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The corresponding liability for the payment due to this licensor will be recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” in the earliest period that we determine the respective milestone achievement is probable or occurs.
(iii) In-License Agreement with ImmunGene for FIT Drug Delivery Platform
In April 2019, we executed an asset transfer, license, and sublicense agreement with ImmunGene, Inc. (“ImmunGene”) for an exclusive license for the intellectual property related to (i) Anti-CD20-IFNα, an antibody-interferon fusion molecule directed against CD20 that is in Phase 1 development for treating relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients, representing a considerable unmet medical need and (ii) an antibody-interferon fusion molecule directed against GRP94, a target for which currently there are no existing approved therapies that have the potential for treating both solid and hematologic malignancies. Both molecules are based on the Focused Interferon Therapeutics (“FIT”) drug delivery platform.
We made upfront payments aggregating $2.8 million to ImmunGene and to several other third parties, all of which were recorded within “research and development” expense within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. We will make further payments to ImmunGene upon our achievement of various regulatory milestones that aggregate $26.1 million, plus an additional $5 million milestone payment for each new indication (beyond those described above) approved for either drug in the U.S., Europe, or Japan.
Our contractual royalties to ImmunGene are in the high-single digits on our net sales of each drug, potentially reduced by our royalties due to other third parties. We are also contractually obligated to pay nominal fixed annual license maintenance fees to two licensors.
Depending on the nature of the milestone achievement type we will either (a) capitalize the payment value to “intangible assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or (b) recognize the payment value within “research and development” or “cost of sales” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The corresponding liability for the payment due to this licensor will be recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” in the earliest period that we determine the respective milestone achievement is probable or occurs.
(c) Service Agreements for Research and Development Activities
We have entered into various contracts with numerous third party service providers for the execution of our research and development initiatives (to which we assign project codes in order to compile and monitor such expenses). These vendors include raw material suppliers, clinical trial sites, clinical research organizations, and data monitoring centers, among others. The financial terms of these agreements are varied and generally obligate us to pay in stages, depending on the achievement of certain events specified in the agreements - such as contract execution, progress of service completion, delivery of drug supply, and the dosing of patients in clinical studies.
We recognize these “research and development” expenses and corresponding “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying financial statements based on estimates of our vendors’ progress of performed services, patient enrollments and dosing, completion of clinical studies, and other events. Should we decide to discontinue and/or slow-down the work on any project, the associated costs for those projects would typically be limited to the extent of the work completed, as we are generally able to terminate these contracts with adequate notice.
(d) Supply and Service Agreements Associated with Product Production
We have various product supply agreements and/or have issued vendor purchase orders that obligate us to agreed-upon raw material purchases from certain vendors.  We also have certain drug production service agreements with select contract
24


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, interest rate, and number of years)
(Unaudited)

manufacturers that obligate us to service fees during the contractual period. These collective commitments do not exceed our planned commercial requirements; the corresponding contracted prices do not exceed their current fair market values.
(e) Employment Agreements
We entered into revised employment agreements with each of our named executive officers (chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, and chief medical officer) in April/June 2018 and June 2019, which supersede any prior Change in Control Severance Agreements with such individuals. These agreements provide for the payment of certain benefits to each executive upon his separation of employment under specified circumstances. These arrangements are designed to encourage each to act in the best interests of our stockholders at all times during the course of a change in control event or other significant transaction.
(f) Deferred Compensation Plan
The Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DC Plan”) is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The DC Plan is maintained to provide special deferred benefits for a select group of our employees (the “DC Participants”). DC Participants make annual elections to defer a portion of their eligible cash compensation which is then placed into their DC Plan accounts. We match a fixed percentage of these deferrals, and may make additional discretionary contributions. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate value of this DC Plan liability was $7.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively, and is included within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” and “other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(g) Litigation
We are involved from time-to-time with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a pharmaceutical business, and may include product liability, intellectual property, employment matters, and other general claims. We may also be subject to derivative lawsuits from time to time.
We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Stockholder Litigation
Olutayo Ayeni v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. (Filed September 21, 2016 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 2:16-cv-07074) (the “Ayeni Action”) and Glen Hartsock v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. (Filed September 28, 2016 in the United States District Court, District Court of Nevada Case; No. 2:16-cv-02279-RFB-GWF) (the “Hartsock Action”). On November 15, 2016, the Ayeni Action was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The parties have stipulated to a consolidation of the Ayeni Action with the Hartsock Action. These class action lawsuits allege that we and certain of our executive officers made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts about our business and the prospects of approval for our New Drug Application to the FDA for QAPZOLA in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On July 23, 2019, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with these plaintiffs for a collective settlement that is pending court approval. The value of this proposed settlement is included within “other receivables” (see Note 3(d)) and “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” (see Note 3(g)) on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020.

9. INCOME TAXES
Early Adoption of ASU 2019-12 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
As of March 31, 2020, we elected to early adopt ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. Based upon this early adoption, we are not required to calculate an income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
We apply an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods, as required under GAAP. We recorded a benefit for income taxes from continuing operations of $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our ETR differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses and the impact of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.
Prior to the early adoption of ASU 2019-12, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the intraperiod tax allocation guidance required that we allocate income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings. When we have a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and year-to-date pre-tax income in discontinued operations, ASC 740-20-45-7 required that we allocate the income tax provision to other categories of earnings (including discontinued operations), and then record a related tax benefit in continuing operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized net income from discontinued operations while sustaining losses from continuing operations. Because of the required allocation, we recorded an income tax benefit of $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, within “benefit for income taxes from continuing operations” and income tax expense of $6.7 million within “income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
        Our net tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019, prior to the application of intraperiod tax allocation guidance was $1.5 million. This tax benefit arose from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 that were associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets that were sold as part of our Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction.
10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
        Overview
In March 2019, we completed the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction -- see Note 1(b) (we first announced the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction on January 17, 2019 on Form 8-K, upon the signing of the definitive asset purchase agreement).
In accordance with applicable GAAP (ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements), the revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of our sold commercial operation, connected to the Commercial Product Portfolio, are separately classified as “discontinued” for all periods presented within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 13 for a discussion of certain immaterial corrections affecting the presented amounts below.
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
The following table presents the various elements of “income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” as reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (inclusive of the immaterial corrections as discussed in Note 13):

* This revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes: (i) sales from our Commercial Product Portfolio in January and February 2019 (prior to the completion of the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction) and (ii) EVOMELA sales to a specific licensee (see Note 7). This amount was corrected to reflect the immaterial error identified by management as described above (see Note 13).
** The pre-tax gain on sale for the three months ended March 31, 2019 represents the $158.8 million gross proceeds from the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction less our $121.2 book value of transferred net assets (inclusive of assumed liabilities) to Acrotech on the March 1, 2019 closing date less legal and banker fees aggregating $3.9 million.
*** Given the immaterial error corrections identified above, there was a corresponding tax impact for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This income tax provision represents an allocation of taxes as required under intraperiod allocation guidance that was in affect at that time (see Note 9). This amount was corrected to reflect the immaterial error identified by management as described above (see Note 13).
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Accounts receivable derived from our product sales on and prior to February 28, 2019 were not transferred to Acrotech as part of Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction, nor were our GTN liabilities and trade accounts payable assumed by Acrotech that were associated with our commercial activities on and prior to February 28, 2019 (see Note 3(g)). Accordingly, these specific assets and liabilities remain presented within “accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses” and “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11. RESTRUCTURING COSTS RELATED TO SALE OF COMMERCIAL PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
        Employee Severance
        On March 1, 2019, we completed the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction (see Note 1(b)) and 87 of our employees were (1) terminated March 1, 2019 or (2) given notice of May 31, 2019 termination and asked to provide transition services for the benefit of Acrotech through that date (as provided by a transition services agreement with Acrotech entered contemporaneously with our sale). For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $0.2 million of income for services rendered to Acrotech under this agreement within “other expense, net” on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
        The employees in (1) above were entitled to cash severance payments and acceleration of their unvested restricted stock awards and stock options. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we fully recognized the aggregate value of $8.3 million for this severance benefit, of which $6.3 million, $1.5 million, and $0.5 million is included on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” (see Note 10), “selling, general, and administrative” expenses and “research and development” expenses, respectively.
        The employees in (2) above were also entitled to cash severance payments and acceleration of their unvested restricted stock awards and stock options, though on May 31, 2019. The aggregate value of these one-time cash payments and stock-based award accelerations was $0.5 million. Due to then ongoing service requirements of these employees, we amortized this value through expense on a ratable basis beginning March 1, 2019 through May 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $0.2 million for this severance benefit, which is included within “selling, general, and administrative” expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and within “accrued payroll and benefits” and “additional paid-in capital” (for stock-based awards) on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019.
        Unpaid cash severance for our former employees was $0.2 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, and is recorded within “accrued payroll and benefits” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
        Sale of Common Stock Under ATM Agreement
        On April 5, 2019, we entered into a new collective at-market-issuance (ATM) sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc. (the “April 2019 ATM Agreement”). The sales agreement prospectus filed with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2020, registers an aggregate offering price of $75 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement.
Through March 31, 2020, we raised aggregate net proceeds of $1.8 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement, pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on April 5, 2019. These proceeds and any future proceeds raised will support the advancement of our in-development drug candidates, activities in connection with the launch of these drugs (including the hiring of personnel, building inventory supply and equipment purchases), completing acquisitions of assets, businesses, or securities, and for all other working capital purposes.

13. IMMATERIAL RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of our unaudited interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and prior to the issuance of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, management identified certain immaterial errors aggregating $12.0 million that substantially relates to our ZEVALIN pricing to qualifying Public Health Service hospitals from 2009 through March 31, 2019. This accumulated value resulted from a mistaken one-time “market date” load into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services system for this drug. We erroneously used the year we in-licensed this product of 2009, rather than its original sale year of 2002. We previously restated our Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 2018 and 2017, respectively, to correct the error. The impact of this correction to the three months ended March 31, 2019 is presented below.

We have restated our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to correct for these immaterial errors for the prior-year interim period presented on each face financial statement (as summarized below), as well as the correction of "product sales, net" - presented within Note 10 for our discontinued operations.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

As Previously Reported Adjustments for Error Corrections As Restated
Benefit for income taxes from continuing operations $ 8,242    $ (26)   $ 8,216   
Loss from continuing operations (39,820)   (26)   (39,846)  
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes (Note 10)
20,665    (78)   20,587   
Net loss (19,155)   (104)   (19,259)  


Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

As Previously Reported Adjustments for Error Corrections As Restated
Net loss $ (19,155)   $ (104)   $ (19,259)  
Total comprehensive loss (19,545)   (104)   (19,649)  

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flow:

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019, has also been restated to include the changes to “net loss” summarized above and to reflect the correction of accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2018 from $599,886 to $611,738.

These errors had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow, except for the offsetting corrections between "net loss" and changes in "accounts payable and other accrued liabilities" presented within "net cash used in operating activities."

Table of Contents
Company Overview
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a biopharma company, with a primary strategy comprised of acquiring, developing, and commercializing novel and targeted oncology therapies. Our in-house development organization includes clinical development, regulatory, quality and data management. We plan to build out our commercial and marketing capabilities in the second half of 2020 to prepare for the launch of ROLONTIS.
We have three drugs in development:
ROLONTIS, a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating (“G-CSF”) for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia which has been filed with the FDA and has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of October 24, 2020;
Poziotinib, a novel irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors with various mutations; and

Anti-CD20-IFNα, an antibody-interferon fusion molecule directed against CD20 that is in Phase 1 development for treating relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients (including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma).
Our business strategy is the development of our late-stage assets through commercialization and the sourcing of additional assets that are synergistic with our existing portfolio (through purchase acquisitions, in-licensing transactions, or co-development and marketing arrangements).
Recent Highlights of Our Business, Product Development Initiatives, and Regulatory Approvals
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we continued our strategic shift in our business following the completion of the sale of our legacy commercialized drug portfolio in March 2019. We also continued to make meaningful progress in the advancement of our product pipeline, as summarized below:
ROLONTIS, a novel long-acting G-CSF:
We submitted our updated Biologics License Application ("BLA") for ROLONTIS with the FDA on October 24, 2019 which was accepted by the FDA for review on December 20, 2019. Our BLA is supported by data from two identically designed Phase 3 clinical trials, ADVANCE and RECOVER, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of ROLONTIS in 643 early-stage breast cancer patients for the treatment of neutropenia due to myelosuppressive chemotherapy. The FDA is actively reviewing the BLA for ROLONTIS with a PDUFA target action date set for October 24, 2020.
A company sponsored study has been initiated to evaluate the administration of ROLONTIS on the same day as chemotherapy. The first patient was dosed in April 2020. The trial will evaluate the duration of severe neutropenia when administered at three different time points on the same day following standard chemotherapy in patients with early stage breast cancer.
Poziotinib, an irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting EGFR and HER2 mutations:
In October 2017, we announced the start of a pivotal Phase 2 global study with active sites in the U.S., Canada and
Europe (“ZENITH20”). The ZENITH20 study consists of seven cohorts of NSCLC patients. Cohorts 1 (EGFR) and 2 (HER2)
have completed enrollment of previously treated NSCLC patients with exon 20 mutations. Cohort 3 (EGFR) recently completed enrollment and Cohort 4 (HER2) is currently enrolling first-line NSCLC patients with exon 20 mutations. Cohorts 1- 4 are each independently powered for a pre-specified statistical hypothesis and the primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR). Cohort 5 includes previously treated or treatment-naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. Cohort 6 includes NSCLC patients with classical EGFR mutations who progressed while on treatment with first-line osimertinib and developed an additional EGFR mutation. Cohort 7 includes NSCLC patients with a variety of less common mutations in EGFR or HER2 exons 18-21 or the extracellular or transmembrane domains.
On December 26, 2019, we announced that the pre-specified primary endpoint in its Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating
poziotinib in previously treated NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations was not met in Cohort 1 of the
ZENITH20 trial. Cohort 1 enrolled a total of 115 patients who received 16 mg/day of poziotinib. The intent-to-treat analysis
showed that 17 patients had a response (by RECIST) and 62 patients had stable disease for a 68.7% disease control rate (DCR). The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 14.8% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 8.9%-22.6%). Based on the FDA reviewed protocol, an observed ORR of 30%, with 17% as the lower bound for 95% CI was considered to be the clinically

meaningful efficacy in our study. The median duration of response was 7.4 months and progression free survival was 4.2 months. The safety profile was in-line with the type of adverse events seen with other second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Spectrum presented additional results for Cohort 1 from its Phase 2 clinical trial, ZENITH20, evaluating poziotinib in previously treated NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations at a plenary session of the virtual American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting on April 27, 2020. The podium presentation included additional safety and efficacy data. We also provided an update on our ZENITH20 Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating poziotinib in NSCLC patients with EGFR and HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. The protocol has been amended to explore additional dosing regimens and the earlier use of corticosteroids in an effort to increase drug compliance.

We expect to announce topline results for Cohort 2 in mid-2020 and for Cohort 3 in the second half of 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million in the current year period. This decrease primarily relates to (i) $1.5 million of non-recurring employee severance expense related to the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction in March 2019, and (ii) a $2.0 million decrease in deferred compensation investments as a result of the overall market decline compared to the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by increases within selling, general and administrative including: (i) $0.7 million of increased legal fees related to compliance matters and employment litigation, (ii) $0.7 million of increased stock-based compensation expense (see Note 4), and (iii) $0.9 million of various costs to support our selling, general and administrative function.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased $5.9 million. This decrease primarily relates to (i) $8.2 million of drug substance that was purchased in the prior year period for the manufacture of ROLONTIS in preparation for the upcoming commercial launch, and (ii) $0.5 million of non-recurring employee severance expense related to the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction in March 2019. These decreases were partially offset by a non-recurring refund of $1.9 million for FDA filing fees related to our voluntary withdrawal of the ROLONTIS BLA in March 2019.

        Total other expense decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to $10.2 million of unrealized loss for the mark-to-market of our CASI equity securities in the current period (see Note 3(a) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), as compared to $12.2 million of unrealized loss for these securities during the prior year period. The resulting decrease in other expense was partially offset by decreased other income including: (i) $1.1 million decrease in the value of our deferred compensation plan assets (see Note 3(e)), (ii) $0.4 million of decreased interest income on our marketable securities, and (iii) $0.2 million of non-recurring billable services rendered to Acrotech as part of a transition services agreement that expired in May 2019 (see Note 11).

        For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we did not record a benefit for income taxes from continuing operations based on the recent adoption of ASU 2019-12,“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” during the period (see Note 9). For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we reported pre-tax losses from continuing operations. This requires our application of intraperiod tax allocation guidance, resulting in the presented income tax benefit values (though is not indicative of income tax refunds due to us). During the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recorded pre-tax income from discontinued operations. Further, the income tax provision within “discontinued operations” is substantially offset by the corresponding income tax benefit value during the prior year period .

Net cash used in operating activities was $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $40.1 million in the prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our cash collections from customers totaled $0 and $27.2 million, respectively. The significant decrease in cash collections is a result of the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction (see Note 10 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our aggregate cash payments to our employees and vendors for products, services, and rebates were $37.1 million and $72.6 million, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $39.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $158.5 million during the prior year period. The cash provided by investing activities for the three months of 2020 relates to (i) $50.1 million of proceeds from maturities of our marketable securities (see Note 3(a) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and (ii) $0.8 million of proceeds from the sale of mutual funds (see Note 3(a) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). This cash received was partially offset by (i) $9.0 million of purchases of investment instruments (see Note 3(a) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), (ii) $1.2 million of purchases for investments in our mutual funds (see Note 3(a) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and (iii) $1.4 million of equipment purchases substantially related to ROLONTIS manufacture (see Note 3(b) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
There were no financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million during the prior year period.
Sale of Common Stock Under ATM Agreements
        On April 5, 2019, we entered into a new collective at-market-issuance (ATM) sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc. (the “April 2019 ATM Agreement”). The sales agreement prospectus filed with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2020, registers an aggregate offering price of $75 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement.
Through March 31, 2020, we raised aggregate net proceeds of $1.8 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement, pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on April 5, 2019. These proceeds and any future proceeds raised will support the advancement of our in-development drug candidates, activities in connection with the launch of these drugs (including the hiring of personnel, building inventory supply and equipment purchases), completing acquisitions of assets, businesses, or securities, and for all other working capital purposes.
There were no sales of our common stock under the April 2019 ATM Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that the future growth of our business will depend on our ability to successfully develop and acquire new drugs for the treatment of cancer and successfully bring these drugs to market.
The timing and amount of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including: 
the need for additional capital to fund future development programs;
the need for additional capital to fund strategic acquisitions;
the need for additional capital to fund licensing arrangements;
our requirement for additional information technology infrastructure and systems; and
adverse outcomes from potential litigation and the cost to defend such litigation.
We believe that our $177.8 million in aggregate cash and equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2020 is sufficient to fund our current and planned operations for the next twelve months. We may, however, require additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy, and in connection with opportunistic acquisitions or licensing arrangements. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through additional equity or debt financings (see Note 12).
However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain this additional liquidity on terms favorable to us or
our current stockholders, if at all. Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements are also dependent
on our future financial performance which is subject to various market and economic factors that are beyond our control.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, concerns related to the spread of COVID-19 began to create global business disruptions as well as disruptions in our operations and to create potential negative impacts on our future revenues of ROLONTIS and other financial results. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our financial condition, results of operations or future cash flows is currently uncertain and depends on factors including the duration and severity of the outbreak (See Item 1A: “Risk Factors” for additional details).

Proceeds From the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction
In March 2019, we completed the sale of our Commercial Product Portfolio to Acrotech (See Note 1(b)) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Upon the closing of the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction, we received $158.8 million in an upfront cash payment (of which $4 million was held in escrow until November 2019). We are also entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $140 million upon Acrotech's achievement of certain regulatory and sales-based milestones relating to the Commercial Product Portfolio.
We are using the proceeds from the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction to advance our in-development drug pipeline, as well as provide for our general working capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2020, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support, or involve derivatives. In addition, we have no arrangements that may expose us to liability that are not expressly reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and/or notes thereto.
As of March 31, 2020, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as “structured finance” or “special purpose entities,” established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not subject to any material financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, prices of raw materials for drug production, and changes in the value of our equity holdings. We believe that these risks have been appropriately addressed for our business as further discussed below.
Foreign currency: We have limited exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations for our cash receipts in foreign currency from license partners, as well as payments we make to employees, vendors, and license partners in foreign currency (typically in Euros, Canadian dollars, or Indian rupees). We further mitigate this limited risk by maintaining a fraction of our cash in these foreign currencies for our current operational needs. A hypothetical 10% change in these foreign exchange rates would not be material to our reported operating results and period-end financial position due to minimal amounts held in foreign currency-denominated bank accounts during 2020.
Raw materials: Our in-development drug products are produced with active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). These raw material prices are not highly volatile for us. A hypothetical 10% change in API costs would not be material to our reported operating results and period-end financial position. Our current year API purchases through March 31, 2020 aggregated $1.3 million. To secure required drug supply and raw material pricing, we enter into various agreements that provide stable and predictable pricing for our planned clinical and commercial business needs.
Equity price: We hold publicly-traded equity securities, received as part of out-license consideration (see Note 3(a)). At March 31, 2020, the market value of these equity holdings was $20.5 million. Our monetization of this value is subject to changes in market prices at the time of sale, thus a hypothetical 10% change in market value (whether realized or unrealized) would not be material to our reported operating results and period-end financial position in 2020. We have evaluated this share price risk and decided to not enter into derivative contracts for potential risk mitigation.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first fiscal quarter of 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on Ensuring the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, cannot provide more than reasonable assurance that its objectives are completely met due to inherent limitations. Accordingly, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all internal control issues within a company have been detected. As part of our ongoing activities, we continuously seek to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our business operations and accompanying internal controls.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time-to-time with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a pharmaceutical business, and may include product liability, intellectual property, employment matters, and other general claims. We may also be subject to derivative lawsuits from time to time.

We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Certain of the legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 8(g), “Financial Commitments & Contingencies and Key License Agreements,” to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020, except as noted below.

The COVID-19 outbreak could adversely impact our business.
38


Table of Contents

In December 2019, it was first reported that there had been an outbreak of a novel strain of COVID-19, in China. Since then, COVID-19 has continued to spread outside of China, including throughout the United States and other parts of the world, becoming a global pandemic. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business and will likely continue to impact our business directly and/or indirectly for the foreseeable future. We are unable to accurately predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our results from operations, financial condition and clinical studies due to numerous factors that are not within our control, including the duration and severity of the outbreak.

Governments in affected regions have implemented and may continue to implement safety precautions, including stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings and other measures. These measures are disrupting normal business operations both in and outside of affected areas. We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made appropriate modifications to our operations because of COVID-19, including transitioning to a remote work environment and substantial modifications to employee travel. We are also unable to make site visits at this time due to social distancing guidelines. Over time, these factors could reduce our overall productivity and collaboration. In addition, while enrollment in our ongoing clinical trials is progressing at a normalized rate, we could see a delay in enrollment or in the initiation of planned clinical trials.

Despite travel restrictions and the remote work environment, the ROLONTIS BLA remains under active review by the FDA. The PDUFA target action date for the ROLONTIS BLA is October 24, 2020. However, if travel restrictions persist, this could impact the pre-approval inspection of our third-party manufacturing facility in South Korea. This could result in a delay in obtaining FDA approval for ROLONTIS, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, we may experience these and other disruptions that could severely impact our business and regulatory filings, including, but not limited to:
disruption in our ability to manufacture our API and future drug product;
disruption on our ability to source materials;
delays or difficulties in obtaining FDA approval for ROLONTIS and completing other regulatory work;
fewer individuals undertaking or completing cancer treatments, whether due to contracting COVID-19, self-isolating or quarantining to lower the risk of contracting COVID-19 or being unable to access care as a result of healthcare providers tending to COVID-19 patients;
impact to the financial markets which would impact our ability to raise capital;
limitations on our employees’ ability to work, due to potential sickness of employees or their families;
disruption in our ability to sell our future commercialized products including in foreign markets; and
additional repercussions on our ability to operate our business.
While the long-term economic impact and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, which could reduce our ability to access capital and could negatively affect our liquidity and the liquidity and stability of markets for our common stock. In addition, a recession, further market correction or depression resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value our common stock.
